Chapter 109: Brother… don’t you want me anymore…
“This girl…”
Chen Yuan shook his head, “You think I don’t know…”
Still as stubborn…
No, I still need to think of a way to get her to willingly go to Water Lapping Palace…
Water Lapping Palace does not accept males, isolated from the world year-round, situated in the northern land of ice, and women cannot have close contact with men…
If I tell her directly, she won’t agree…
But… she must go due to her physique…
Perhaps I’ll have to be a bit more ruthless…
…
On the day of the martial arts competition.
Chen Yuan brought Lin Shuxue to Green Sword Peak to watch the sword discussion conference.
Seeing the skills of these cultivators up close, Lin Shuxue’s small mouth never closed, her eyes filled with longing.
Chen Yuan gently coaxed her, “Look at those women, aren’t they pretty?”
“Um… not pretty!”
Lin Shuxue turned her head away defiantly, she certainly didn’t think those women in blue and white, wearing veils and hats, were pretty!
“Don’t you want to be like them?”
“Don’t want to! Eh?” Lin Shuxue was taken aback, her eyes turned to Chen Yuan, who was rubbing his forehead: “Brother, do you like them?”
Chen Yuan: “Huh?”
How did this get onto me?
“I can dress like that when I go back.” Lin Shuxue walked ahead and spoke in a weak voice, then turned back to make a face at Chen Yuan before running away.
“Slow down!” Chen Yuan helplessly said…
“Junior brother, come here.”
At that moment, Xu Ya appeared and pulled Chen Yuan aside.
“What’s wrong, senior brother?”
“The Sect Leader wants to see you.”
…
“Can we take your sister?”
Water Lapping Palace traditionally has adult women leading, and from their tone and demeanor, they already seem comparable to the elders of Azure Sword Pavilion who are in their sixties or seventies, but in terms of body and appearance, they look like women around thirty.
“Chen Yan, your sister has the Profound Cold Physique that appears once in a century. Only Water Lapping Palace has suitable techniques for cultivation and extending her life. If not controlled, she definitely won’t live past twenty.”
The Sect Leader is a white-haired old man, like most Xianxia Sect Leaders, even his beard is white.
Chen Yuan was very busy usually, and this was the first time he met the Sect Leader.
Upon entering the hall, they had already informed Chen Yuan of everything they had seen, and the rest was for him to determine himself.
They would not force anyone and certainly would not bypass Chen Yuan to take Lin Shuxue directly.
Of course, they also hoped Chen Yuan could prioritize the greater good and set aside his feelings.
The battle against the Demon Cult is cruel; no one wants to be involved.
But someone has to stand up… especially a natural talent like her…
However, Chen Yuan from beginning to end never thought deeper…
At this moment, Chen Yuan’s brain was still running on a tangent: Sure enough, just as I thought, they saw through it at a glance.
Is it really so obvious for the sect’s prodigies to be recognized at first sight?
It’s like a scene where a stout and chubby person appears among a bunch of skinny monkeys, and even more terrifying is that this chubby person grew up eating garbage…
The elders would be excited as soon as they see it…
Ahem, got off track.
“I just want to confirm, can you control her current cold energy? It’s getting a bit serious now…” Chen Yuan refocused his thoughts.
“Of course! We will do our utmost to cultivate your sister,” the female elder from Water Lapping Palace said firmly, “Moreover, for your sister every month… we will also pay you monthly…”
“I won’t need it…” Chen Yuan waved his hand, making it seem like he was selling Xiaoxue…
“However… this girl is very stubborn; she probably wouldn’t agree even if it meant d*ath…”
“I see… I need to tell you, the techniques of Water Lapping Palace require abandoning chaotic emotions… If you agree, you need to… sever ties.”
Chen Yuan was stunned, but he understood in an instant.
“I understand…”
…
“Brother! Where did you go!”
Lin Shuxue followed Xu Ya to the palace gate and finally saw Chen Yuan coming out from inside. She ran up and tugged at his clothes in a spoiled manner…
At the same time, she noticed several women dressed in blue and white robes standing around Chen Yuan.
She tried to pull Chen Yuan closer to her side, but Chen Yuan didn’t move…
“Xiaoxue, go to Water Lapping Palace.” Chen Yuan said calmly.
“Eh?”
Lin Shuxue looked up, her eyes confused: “Brother…”
The women beside her instantly stepped forward to pull Lin Shuxue away, before she could even react.
“Brother? What’s wrong?” Lin Shuxue struggled, looking at Chen Yuan, confused by the sudden situation.
In response, Chen Yuan merely glanced at her coldly without saying a word and walked away.
“Brother? Brother!” Lin Shuxue’s small body was easily held back, but she surprisingly possessed great strength, breaking free and rushing to Chen Yuan’s side.
Tears welling up, she grabbed his clothing: “I…”
“How much longer do you plan to hide this from me?” Chen Yuan avoided looking at her, afraid that if he met her adorable gaze he would falter.
It’s for her own good…
If I don’t harden my heart a little, she’ll have too many distractions going to Water Lapping Palace…
Anyway, I don’t belong to this world, after all, I’m going to leave.
Remaining in her heart won’t lead to any good outcome…
Sending her to Water Lapping Palace would complete my task…
This truly is the “simplest” task…
Hearing Chen Yuan say that, Lin Shuxue’s grip on his clothing loosened slightly, and her heart sank.
Tears surged in her eyes, her voice weakly pleading: “Brother…”
“I’m not your brother; I still can’t raise my power…” Chen Yuan shook off Lin Shuxue’s hand, “Can you guess the reason?”
“Brother… I’m sorry…” Her voice trembled as she quickly grabbed his hand again, afraid that Chen Yuan would abandon her, “Brother… I didn’t mean to; I didn’t know it was my fault…”
“I don’t have a sister like you; don’t call me brother…”
“Brother… you… don’t want me anymore…” She lowered her head, tears falling like a broken string of pearls.
Chen Yuan glanced quickly at the girl sobbing beside him, his heart shattered…
But he still forced himself to say the cruel words: “Hurry and take her away…”
He wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer if they didn’t take her away…
“Brother…” Lin Shuxue sobbed as the two women behind her pulled her away, and she only complied.
Because it was Chen Yuan who told her to…
She didn’t even have the strength to resist…
She had given Chen Yuan the purest feelings and reliance a child could offer…
Even as she was taken away at the end, she still cried out: “Brother…”
“I’m sorry…”
…
Well! You all encouraged me so much, I have to be honest, I must write another chapter!
If there are flaws in my writing, please forgive me, everyone! (Heart gesture~)
