Chapter 108: Chapter 108: The Legendary Genius Junior Ancestor VS White Lotus Outer Sect Junior Sister (Part 22)
When Xuan Ke arrived, he just saw the mischievous smile on his junior sister’s lips.
He thought she was really adorable this way.
He sat down beside Gu Shengyin, “I have heard some news recently.”
Gu Shengyin turned her head to look at him.
Xuan Ke said, “It’s about you, it is said that someone has contracted Fire Poison and they actually need your heart’s blood to cure it.”
Seeming to fear that Gu Shengyin would worry, he added, “You don’t need to worry, junior sister. Those people, don’t even think about it! The blood of a Sword Cultivator is extremely important. Besides, why should a mere stranger deserve my junior sister’s sacrifice? Rest assured, with your senior brother here, you need not pay attention to them.”
Gu Shengyin looked at him and smiled, “Yes, with senior brother here, I am not afraid.”
Xuan Ke’s face turned red again.
The next day, when Gu Shengyin was lecturing at the Sword Debate Hall and was leaving, she encountered Zhao Ximing.
“Is there something?” Gu Shengyin asked.
Zhao Ximing earnestly said, “Recently I heard that Bai Xinya seems to have contracted Fire Poison and needs…” he glanced at Gu Shengyin, “needs your blood to cure it. Xi Liufeng is always lawless, you must be very careful, Great Grandmaster Uncle.”
Gu Shengyin nodded, “I am already aware of this.”
When Xuan Ke arrived, he saw his usually cold and detached junior sister standing extremely close to a man dressed in Inner Sect Disciple attire. From the looks of it, they seemed very familiar with each other.
In his mind, he couldn’t help but remember conversations he had had with his junior sister before. With her grace and beauty, there undoubtedly would be many admirers within the sect.
Thinking of this, an uncontrollable rage surged within him.
“Junior sister.” He quickly walked up beside Gu Shengyin.
Zhao Ximing recognized the Venerable Ling Yun and hurriedly bowed in respect.
“Senior brother, you’re here?”
Xuan Ke looked at Zhao Ximing, “Who is this?”
Zhao Ximing felt as though Xuan Ke, despite his calm gaze, was pressing down on him with enormous pressure, causing him to break into a cold sweat in just an instant.
He tried his best to straighten his back and not to lose his composure.
Xuan Ke, seeing this, a flicker of appreciation crossed his eyes, but the next second, thinking of how close his junior sister was with him, his mood soured even more.
Gu Shengyin, unaware of his thoughts, simply said, “His name is Zhao Ximing.”
Xuan Ke, seeing that his junior sister’s expression did not change when mentioning Zhao Ximing, felt somewhat relieved. He said, “I have something to discuss with you, come with me.”
Gu Shengyin followed Xuan Ke to Lingyun Peak.
“What is it, senior brother?”
Xuan Ke was at a loss for words; he just wanted Gu Shengyin to stay away from Zhao Ximing, there was nothing else really.
“You are Uncle Master Ling Xiao’s disciple, and in terms of seniority, except for me, all others in the Astrolabe Sword Sect are your juniors. Junior sister, no matter how much those disciples admire you, it is impossible between you all.”
Gu Shengyin was utterly confused: What did senior brother’s bizarre words mean?
As she was pondering, she suddenly looked up to see Xuan Ke’s expression and a realization dawned on her: Could it be that senior brother had finally realized his feelings?
Gu Shengyin was secretly delighted, but kept a calm face, pretending not to catch his implication, obediently nodded, “I understand, if I am to choose a Dao companion, I will consider the disciples from other sects.”
Xuan Ke felt as though a bucket of cold water had been dumped over him. What did his junior sister mean by this?
Every time he thought about his obedient junior sister who only smiled and called him senior brother, possibly nestling in another man’s arms and smiling radiantly at someone else, his heart was filled with murderous intent.
He looked sternly at Gu Shengyin, “I don’t permit it!”
