Confusion returned to Shen Sangruo's eyes. "Senior sister? What senior sister? I remember, didn't I only have four senior brothers?"
Why did she blurt out "senior sister" just now?
Suddenly, a blurry image of a woman appeared in my mind.
The woman, holding a bowl of something she couldn't identify, smiled and called out, "Junior Sister~ This is my new recipe for plum stewed frog, come and try it~"
The confusion in her eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a calm and resolute look.
Her expression was no longer childish; she seemed to have returned to her normal state.
No, no, she has a senior sister, she must have a senior sister.
She tried very hard to think clearly about the blurry figure, but the more she looked, the more confused she became, until it completely disappeared from her mind.
"How could this happen?" she frowned.
Even under the influence of the illusion, Shen Sanruo still keenly sensed that something was wrong.
She instinctively wanted to clarify the doubts in her mind, so she continued to think deeper.
A voice seemed to appear in her mind, guiding her to think in a certain direction.
"Who is your master?"
“My master is Lingxiao Zhenren, the most powerful cultivator in the cultivation world. I became his disciple when I was very young,” she answered softly.
"And what about your senior brothers?"
“I have four senior brothers. My eldest brother, Feng Heyun, is the most talented sword cultivator. He loves brewing wine. My second brother, Wen Xuan, is the one who takes the best care of me. He is also gentle and kind. My third brother, Lu Shiqing, often gives me some strange and unusual insects. My fourth brother, Luo Chu, likes to take me to play outside the sect.”
Thinking of this, she paused for a moment and whispered, "That's right, I only have four senior brothers, so where would I get any senior sisters? It seems I really have been knocked silly."
"Even if I have a senior sister, I'll be someone else's senior sister. But I'm Master's last disciple, and Master won't take on any more disciples."
She was still somewhat happy.
“I also have a father, the Flying Cloud Sect Master Shen Daochen, but he doesn’t like me calling him that in the Flying Cloud Sect. He wants me to call him Uncle-Master.”
The images in my mind strung together into a complete line, each one so real and clear.
Everything is proving that she is indeed Shen Sangruo of the Flying Cloud Sect, and there is no doubt about it.
As her doubts gradually dissipated, she smiled.
"Third Senior Brother, Shen Sangruo has really returned to her former state! We succeeded!" Luo Chu was incredibly excited as he looked at the image projected on the screen.
How long has it been since he last saw Shen Sangruo smile like that?
She had laughed like that, of course, but never at them.
But things will be different soon! Shen Sangri will be back by their side soon!
Lu Shiqing also smiled, but he was very dissatisfied with Shen Sangruo's description of him.
He thought to himself that she was probably shy and too embarrassed to say that she liked him.
So he continued to manipulate the illusion, causing the voice in Shen Sangruo's heart to ask another question.
"You like your third senior brother the most, and you want to be with him, right?"
During this period, he had not yet fallen out with Shen Sangruo, nor had he used the Seven Emotions Gu on her; it was the time when their relationship was at its best.
With just a little prompting, she would confess her special feelings for him.
Luo Chu was utterly contemptuous of Lu Shiqing's "smuggling in his own agenda," but was also somewhat curious about how Shen Sangruo would react.
He had witnessed the huge uproar surrounding Sang Ruo and Lu Shiqing, and how close the two were.
So when Lu Shiqing brought up this "scandal," he and Feng Heyun almost immediately assumed that Shen Sanruo had developed inappropriate thoughts.
He still preferred this answer; he wasn't really going to let Lu Shiqing get away with it, was he?
Anyway, his master and Sect Master Shen would definitely not agree, so he wasn't worried.
Thinking about what Shen Sanruo might say to him next, Lu Shiqing's heart raced, and he even felt a little nervous.
If Shen Sanruo were so ruthless as to say she had never been moved by him, his thoughts would inevitably waver, and he wanted to take this opportunity to confirm it once again.
However, the projection in front of him did not respond immediately after receiving the question, unlike before.
Instead, it was as if they had heard something unbelievable, and they froze on the spot.
Her tightly furrowed brows clearly showed her confusion at that moment.
She immediately raised her voice and said, "Like him? Want to be with Third Senior Brother? How could such an absurd thought even cross my mind?"
The look of surprise on her face suggested she couldn't believe this was a thought that came to her.
Lu Shiqing's smile froze on his lips, and the joy in his heart shattered into pieces.
"Third Senior Brother is just my senior brother. I like Third Senior Brother very much and we have a good relationship, but these are just the feelings between senior and junior brothers and sisters. They are not romantic feelings or anything like that between a man and a woman."
"I could never fall in love with my third senior brother in this lifetime. He's just a senior brother. It's too terrible to have such a thought."
She crossed her arms, shivered involuntarily, and quickly ended the conversation.
Hearing Shen Sangruo's words, Luo Chu breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, she really had never been in love with Lu Shiqing.
However, he dared not show his joy too obviously, because the chilling aura emanating from Lu Shiqing beside him was too frightening.
"...Third Senior Brother, are you alright?"
He looked at Lu Shiqing, whose face was gloomy, and spoke cautiously, afraid of igniting Lu Shiqing's anger.
Lu Shiqing roared angrily, like a ferocious beast in extreme rage, making Luo Chu's ears ache.
"Impossible! Impossible! How could this be! There must be something wrong with the illusion! She must have been in love with me back then!"
He shouted to the sky, "Hey! Didn't they say illusions are omnipotent?! This illusion didn't do what I asked for at all, failing to bring her back to her original state completely!"
Otherwise, why would she give that answer?
"The illusions created by you heretical cultivators are nothing more than this! She must still be influenced by those people's emotions! I will make her completely forget those people!"
If Shen Sangruo has only temporarily returned to the state of being thirteen or fourteen years old, she still has the memory of everything that happened afterward, only it is covered up by illusion.
Lu Shiqing attributed the reason he didn't get the answer he wanted to those "extra" people.
"No matter what method I use, whether I alter her memories of those people or delete them directly, I want them to disappear completely from her memory!"
"Isn't this a bad idea, Third Senior Brother? What if Chen Sangri gets hurt?" Luo Chu felt that Lu Shiqing was being a bit too extreme and unreasonable. "Who knows what sinister methods that illusion might use?"
He was still rational; whatever he did, he couldn't let Chen Sangri get hurt again.
But Lu Shiqing's expression was unusually stubborn, and he gritted his teeth and growled, "I don't care!"
