Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 299 - 77: We Can Share Senior Brother (Misunderstanding) (Part 3)

"Is there anything I might not know? After all, I can’t watch him all the time. If you’re really curious, you can go ask him yourself. All I know is that he has a good relationship with Yudie, flying down together from the sky at night."

She didn’t mention that she was also in You Su’s arms, sharing a deep kiss under a thousand sky lanterns.

"By the way, the maids serving him at Jade Ring Pool are also sisters like us. They were quite reluctant to part with your senior brother, and they’ve even agreed to meet him again in the future."

Ji Xueruo saw her plan succeed and continued to add fuel to the fire. But she deemed herself honest, not having uttered a single lie. After all, You Su did fly with the Divine Maiden, and it was true that Yo Meng and Yu Long exchanged smiles when agreeing to meet again...

Ji Lingruo listened, itching for a fight, gritting her teeth. She felt surrounded by bad women, and that her senior brother was too dangerous alone out there!

"Sister."

Ji Lingruo suddenly calmed down and softly called.

"What’s the matter?" Ji Xueruo asked, puzzled.

"You wouldn’t have deliberately allowed Yudie to possess you so that senior brother would have to deal with her himself, would you?"

The girl asked hesitantly, thinking that her shrewd sister, having seen through Yudie’s plot, shouldn’t have been easily possessed.

???

Ji Xueruo’s face was full of confusion, amazed by her sister’s peculiar train of thought.

"Why would I risk that for no reason?"

"Out of jealousy." Ji Lingruo responded as if it was the most natural reason.

Ji Xueruo almost burst out with profanity: "What kind of jealousy would make me do that to Yudie?! I really couldn’t withstand her illusion!"

"You’re not jealous, then why do you remember so clearly which girl senior brother interacts with?" Ji Lingruo rubbed her delicate chin, looking adorably puzzled.

"I-I was keeping an eye for you! I’m his sister-in-law, of course, I have to guard him well for you! If you don’t want to know, then I won’t say any more!" Ji Xueruo replied, looking disappointed.

"Another expert?!"

Ji Lingruo hurriedly leaned over the tea table, pressing her chest to create a crease, tightly grasping Ji Xueruo’s jade-like hand, and pleaded:

"Sister, Lingruo knows you’re the best. Please tell me, so I can be wary of them! Senior brother is blind and can’t discern their true intentions!"

Ji Xueruo snorted coldly, unclear if she was humming at her foolish sister or the naive You Su mentioned by her sister.

She pouted and finally spoke:

"Don’t you know? Your senior brother is already a rising star on the Divine Mountain, countless female cultivators are eagerly looking at him. But that’s not the most dangerous part..."

"What is the most dangerous part?"

"Do you know that Lotus Sword Venerable has only one disciple, who is the first Divine Maiden of the Profound Sky Sect, Wangshu Fairy? It’s said she always wears a mask, eternally cold and peerless, living alone on Lotus Peak for decades. Imagine what she would do if someday she has a close junior brother..."

This pair of originally tense and combative sisters, upon having a common external enemy, surprisingly became united in their opposition, resembling close sisters who share everything.

Through Ji Xueruo’s description, You Su’s situation became ’precarious.’ Ji Lingruo initially planned to stay with her sister at the port for five days until the Divine Feather Ship set sail again, but Ji Xueruo urged her to leave, citing the urgency of the situation.

Standing on the parting coast, the sisters, with looks as beautiful as flowers, embraced deeply and then returned to their respective paths.

One would become the third True Disciple of the Lotus Sword Venerable, the other would return to Dngying to continue her great endeavors for the Snake Race.

One would spend every day with that man, the other would keep her promise to never see him again.

Ji Xueruo watched her sister’s distant figure, feeling an endless melancholy. Their reunion ended much simpler than she imagined, her sister alternating between smart and foolish made her feel heartbroken and guilty.

She was unable and unqualified to confront her own emotions, so she chose to evade them in front of her sister.

Perhaps leaving the issue to time was their best choice now.

While Ji Lingruo walked on the path to Divine Mountain, her heart was also filled with mixed emotions.

To Ji Lingruo, her sister indeed hid her feelings for You Su well. But if she truly didn’t like him, why would she go to lengths to alter an inconsequential ending?

The sister she admired for her intelligence could also forget details when faced with emotions.

She sighed softly; if possible, she indeed wanted to have senior brother all to herself, but she didn’t want to see her sister sacrificing all her happiness lonely for the Snake Race.

She argued with her sister, just seeking an explanation, never intending to truly break ties. She could see her sister’s struggle, so she feigned ignorance to reconcile with her sister.

She wanted to be happy and wished her sister happiness too.

"Sister, childhood sweethearts and new loves don’t have to have a loser; we can share senior brother."

Ji Lingruo shook her head, kicked the pebbles underfoot away angrily, muttering bitterly:

"How could I possibly say something like that... Senior brother, if you want to be greedy, you better have the skills for it, I’m not going to help you! Hmph!"
