Under the three young women's astonished gazes, Lin Xiao, his expression mournful, walked forward step by step.
At this moment, he was desperately brewing his emotions, all for this final gamble! He knew very well that with his junior sisters' relationships fractured to this extent, the upcoming performance couldn't afford the slightest error! One misstep... and this could very well be his, Lin Xiao's, final curtain call!
Lin Xiao walked until he was about ten zhang (approximately one hundred feet) from the three young women and then stopped.
First, he nodded towards his Master, Xiao Hongling, who stood in the distance, her expression desolate and sorrowful.
Then, with a face full of deep sorrow, he looked at the three young women.
"Yurong, Youwei, Yingying, you don't need to argue anymore. None of you are at fault! The one who is wrong is Eldest Senior Brother!"
"From childhood until now, it was Eldest Senior Brother who failed to maintain a proper distance from you, which caused you all to develop such deep feelings!"
"My sins are monstrous!"
"This Eldest Senior Brother of Divine Phoenix Peak... it's better if I am no longer him!"
Lin Xiao beat his chest and stomped his feet, looking as though his heart had died from utter despair.
He admitted that while there was an element of performance in his actions, seeing his beloved junior sisters harming each other because of him, disregarding their childhood sisterly bonds, genuinely pained his heart... it truly made him suffer!

Guo Yourong's eyes were red and moist as she choked out, "You deceived Yurong. You and Yingying clearly, long ago..."
"Forget it, forget it."
She listlessly shook her head and wiped away her tears, her voice exceedingly hoarse. "Eldest Senior Brother, since things have reached this point, Yurong only wants to ask you one thing."
"Ask, Yurong," Lin Xiao said.
"All these years... between me, Youwei, and Yingying... whom, in your heart, Eldest Senior Brother... do you truly favor the most?"
Guo Yourong's beautiful eyes blazed like fire as she stared intently at the man who had just exchanged wedding vows with her.
At the same time, Lu Yingying and Chu Youwei, who were also looking crestfallen, lifted their heads as well, their expressions tense as they looked over, apparently also wanting to know the answer!
This is a life-or-death question right off the bat!
Lin Xiao's heart sank.
He knew in his heart that if he didn't do something drastic next, there was no way today's ultimate Asura's den could be pacified!
Fortunately... He, Lin Xiao, was already prepared!
"Alright, Yurong, I can answer you."
"However, regarding this question, Eldest Senior Brother's answer might be difficult for you all to accept."
Under the gazes of his three junior sisters and the beautiful Master behind them, Lin Xiao's handsome eyes were filled with deep emotion as he spoke, word by word:
