Out of the blue “concern,” Lin Xianyu was not psychologically prepared, almost scared to the point of yelling.
Fortunately, at a critical moment,
Ji Dongge quickly reached out her fair hand, lightly covering her lips.
When her emotions calmed down a bit, she slowly let go.
“…No need, Big Brother!”
Lin Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief, trying to steady her voice, “I’ve eaten, I’ll sleep soon!”
“Alright, then rest well. If you need anything, remember to call me.”
Lin Yuan’s gentle voice came through.
“Okay, got it!”
Soon, footsteps once again faded away.
Lin Xianyu and Ji Dongge sat stiffly in the room, staring at each other in silence, waited for a while to confirm that this time, he had truly left, before finally letting go of their tension.
“Your Big Brother…”
Ji Dongge’s mouth twitched slightly, “Is he always… so unpredictable like that?”
Perhaps due to the serious injury and not fully recovered yet, she didn’t even notice him being so close.
In the past,
Not a single movement in the entire courtyard could escape her perception!
And the sudden voice just now had given her a big start, her heart also skipped a beat, almost ready to strike.
Despite being severely injured, ordinary people were still weak in front of her.
“Not really, my Big Brother used to be quite normal.”
Lin Xianyu gently shook her head, without a hint of blame or displeasure in her words:
“Since Father passed away, it has always been my Big Brother taking care of me… Maybe what happened yesterday made him a bit lost, afraid that I might encounter danger again…”
As she spoke, a soft color floated in her clear eyes, carrying an indelible attachment.
Ji Dongge’s eyes were complicated.
Her impression of childhood was almost blank.
She had only heard from her master that she was born in a small mountain village where the entire village was massacred, and she was hidden in a cellar by her parents to survive.
At that time, she was just a baby.
If it hadn’t been for the master passing by and sensing her life signs, taking her away, she would probably have starved to death a long time ago.
“I envy you so much… for having a brother who cares about you.”
Ji Dongge touched Lin Xianyu’s smooth and radiant face, whispering softly, “Unlike me, not even knowing what my family looks like.”
“If you don’t mind, Xiao Yu can also be your sister, then you’ll have one… uh, two relatives!”
Feeling the cool palm touching her face, Lin Xianyu’s long eyelashes trembled, whispering softly.
“You’re a little prankster!”
Ji Dongge chuckled at the words, tapping her forehead.
She couldn’t help but understand Lin Xianyu’s thoughts.
It was just worrying that her brother would harm himself… The little girl’s thoughts were really simple, so simple that one could see through them at a glance.
And it was this clarity that made Ji Dongge feel unprecedentedly at ease.
Unfortunately, this kind of day wasn’t going to last long.
Her subordinates should be able to arrive soon and bring healing medicine. When the injuries slightly recovered, it would be time to leave.
Before parting…
“Xiao Yu.”
Ji Dongge’s black and white eyes stared at her distinctly, once again warning word by word:
“Your talent is very good, you can cultivate my martial arts, but remember what I said before, you must never tell anyone what you are cultivating!”
“Sister, rest assured, Xiao Yu swears, I definitely will not tell anyone! Otherwise….” Lin Xianyu said earnestly.
“Stop!”
Ji Dongge frowned, interrupting her words.
“A vow should not be taken lightly, otherwise, when you reach a certain level, it will become the shackles that bind you! I believe you are capable. This martial art is only suitable for women to practice, Xiao Yu, listen carefully, it is called the…..” Her voice gradually faded, leaving only lips moving, but Lin Xianyu heard it very clearly.
“……Zhu Yan Bai Gu Dao!”
In a corner not far outside the door.
Lin Yuan stood quietly without moving, the moonlight casting a dark shadow of his slender figure.
His gaze was deep, like an ancient pool.
Every word of the conversation in Xiao Yu’s room entered his ears clearly… except for the final name and detailed content of the martial art.
Silence is not difficult.
But being able to evade Lin Yuan’s perception, obviously, that woman’s cultivation is quite high, beyond his realm.
“Is this… Xiao Yu’s path?” Lin Yuan had no intention of stopping.
As previously mentioned.
He couldn’t be by his sister’s side all the time.
Even if Lin Xianyu hadn’t encountered this wounded mysterious woman today, Lin Yuan would slowly teach her the martial arts in the future.
At least she should have the power to protect herself!
Judging from the conversation, his sister’s talent unexpectedly turned out to be very good.
This was beyond Lin Yuan’s expectations.
In the beginner missions of simulated life, Lin Xianyu had never practiced martial arts.
When she was young, Lin Yuan didn’t understand bone-sensing, naturally, he couldn’t discover it.
And when she grew up, with differences between men and women, Lin Yuan couldn’t sense it either, coupled with his busy daily life, he had never considered this aspect.
Why do those aristocratic children almost always have better talents than ordinary people?
The reason is that martial arts talent is hereditary!
While Lin Yuan’s father was only a Skin Refinement Warrior who never broke through to the Blood Exchange Realm before he died.
His mother passed away even earlier.
In his blurred memories, she was a very weak woman, naturally, there was no talk of any martial arts talent.
“A mutation?”
Lin Yuan muttered to himself.
In this world, this was not such a rare occurrence.
Otherwise, if it all relied on genetic inheritance, what was the point of the many sects in the world?
In a sense.
Lin Yuan’s martial arts talent was actually superior to his father’s, just not as varied as his sister’s.
After a few moments.
Faintly hearing the unique breathing rhythm of cultivation coming from inside the room, Lin Yuan silently turned and returned to his own room.
He didn’t think the other party had any ulterior motives.
After all.
In the eyes of others, he and his sister were just… ordinary people.
