Xuan Yuan Rou said coldly, “Let me go! If I don’t go and something happens to him, what will I do?”
“Elder Sister!” Xuan Yuan Chang Feng shouted, “You have always been someone who considers the bigger picture in my heart. If you leave, what will happen to Xuan Yuan Immortal City? You cannot go!”
“I trust Tan Yun. I believe Tan Yun can handle it!” Xuan Yuan Rou insisted.
“You can trust him, but we can’t let emotions cloud our judgment. We need to think about the consequences of your actions!” Xuan Yuan Chang Feng replied urgently.
Xuan Yuan Rou's eyes flashed with determination. “I cannot abandon him in his time of need. You know I can’t!”
Xuan Yuan Chang Feng clenched his fists in frustration. “Sister, if you leave now, it will not only jeopardize Xuan Yuan Immortal City but also put your life at risk! You need to stay and protect our home!”
She shook her head, “No matter the risk, I won’t let him face danger alone. I will go!”
“Enough!” Xuan Yuan Chang Feng felt his heart ache, “You must listen to me. As your brother, I cannot allow you to leave. This is not just about you!”
The two siblings stood firmly against each other, the tension palpable as the burden of their responsibilities weighed heavily on their shoulders.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuan Rou bit her lip, tears streaming down her beautiful eyes, “But… I’m really scared. Just thinking about losing him makes my heart panic!”
Xuan Yuan Chang Feng embraced Xuan Yuan Rou, comforting her, “Sister, you don’t need to be afraid. I firmly believe Tan Yun will return safely!”
“Really?” Xuan Yuan Rou left Xuan Yuan Chang Feng's embrace, feeling somewhat lost.
“Of course it’s true.” Xuan Yuan Chang Feng said firmly, “I guarantee it.”
In truth, when Xuan Yuan Chang Feng said “I guarantee,” he felt a pang in his heart, for in his mind, Tan Yun was going to face a life-and-death situation!
Xuan Yuan Chang Feng didn’t show his worries on his face; he didn’t want to add to Xuan Yuan Rou’s concerns for Tan Yun.
After a long while, Xuan Yuan Chang Feng looked at Xuan Yuan Rou and hesitantly asked, “Sister, do you like Tan Yun?”
A hint of hesitation appeared in Xuan Yuan Rou's tear-filled eyes, and she replied, “No.”
“Elder Sister, don’t I know you well?” Xuan Yuan Chang Feng said, “Stop being contradictory.”
Xuan Yuan Rou shook her head, “Chang Feng, I actually don’t know if this is liking.”
“When I can’t see him, I think of him. When I know he is in danger, my heart feels restless. This feeling is very strange.”
Xuan Yuan Chang Feng said, “Sister, this is a sign that you like someone. I ask you, do you ever feel like you just want to be with him, whether there’s something going on or not?”
“Hmm.” Xuan Yuan Rou nodded slightly.
“That’s exactly it.” Xuan Yuan Chang Feng said, “You have fallen for Tan Yun. This feeling of yours is just like how I feel about Ice Mountain.”
“Ice Mountain? Who is that?” Xuan Yuan Rou asked, puzzled.
“Ice Mountain is Tan Yun’s sister, Yingying!” Xuan Yuan Chang Feng replied.
“Who gives someone a nickname like that?” Xuan Yuan Rou shot Xuan Yuan Chang Feng a glare.
Xuan Yuan Chang Feng shrugged, “That’s exactly what it is! Her cold demeanor is no different from an ice mountain!”
“Hey! Sister, why is it that Chu Xiaosa has such good luck?”
Xuan Yuan Rou frowned slightly, “Who is Chu Xiaosa?”
“He’s Tan Yun's little brother!” Xuan Yuan Chang Feng said enviously, “This guy fell in love with Ling Er at first sight, and over the past decade, Ling Er has developed feelings for him too.”
“Why is it that Yingying doesn’t pay any attention to me? I’m not ugly!”
Worried about Tan Yun, Xuan Yuan Rou fell silent.
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Chang Feng said, “Sister, Tan Yun mentioned that there are some matters between you two that will eventually come to light... In short, he hopes to be close friends with you in this lifetime.”
