Transcending the Nine Heavens

Mo Tianji immediately knew he had misspoken, internally scolding himself: I usually keep my composure, so why am I so restless today?

But Chu Le'er was already agitated, rising in anger, clearly ready to escalate things to violence at the slightest provocation.

Typically filled with clever strategies, Mo the Great Deceiver found himself at a loss in an instant. He hurriedly tried to remedy the situation, saying, “What I just said was a bit exaggerated. Actually, Chu Yang isn’t really... well, although it’s mutual consent, Chu Yang is also quite helpless... Being liked by so many women, I’m just standing up for my sister; what can I do? After all, he is her brother. Le'er, you need to understand, you’re also his sister... right?”

As he spoke, he sighed, glancing at Chu Le'er. Seeing her anger abate, he gritted his teeth and said, “Actually, you can't blame Chu Yang too much; he is truly an exceptional man...”

Saying this, Mo the Great Deceiver nearly spat out the words, feeling a knot of conflicting emotions twisting in his heart. When had he ever said such insincere things? What on earth is happening to me today?!

This statement was indeed... heartless.

Chu Le'er transitioned from anger to delight, saying, “How could I not understand that not being envied is the mark of mediocrity? It’s completely normal for others to be jealous of my brother. He is that outstanding! In fact, my brother’s excellence is evident to all... With such an outstanding man, which woman wouldn’t like him? As the saying goes, beautiful women love heroes... sigh, if I weren’t my brother’s sister, I would want to marry him. Now, he’s going to end up with another woman... hmph!”

Mo Tianji felt as if he were being stabbed a thousand times, mentally lamenting the possibility of Chu Yang becoming Light Dance’s brother-in-law, which would make him her brother as well. Help me... However, he maintained a warm smile, saying, “Yes, yes... Chu Yang is indeed so outstanding that it makes all men envious, but even more, he's admired. How can one person be so exceptional? To befriend him truly brings honor...”

Chu Le'er’s eyes sparkled with excitement, nodding emphatically and saying, “Isn’t that right? Sometimes I wonder, my brother is only a few years older than me, how does he know so much? He’s so knowledgeable and talented! Also, it seems there’s nothing in this world he doesn’t understand or can’t do. He’s simply omnipotent! How can such a perfect person exist in this world?”

“Absolutely, there’s nothing my brother can’t accomplish!”

Mo Tianji nodded repeatedly: “Yes, yes, I also admire Chu Yang’s abilities deeply. We often spend time together; as the saying goes, ‘near vermilion, one turns red; near ink, one turns black.’ Actually, I...”

Chu Le'er chuckled softly, demurely adding, “Yes, my brother is indeed so enviable...”

Mo Tianji felt tears welling up inside; big sister, that was not the meaning I wanted to convey, but he said, “Right! That’s absolutely true...”

Mo Tianji suddenly felt like he was about to suffer an internal injury...

I truly can’t fathom it; my own sister is devoted to him, and now his own sister is just as devoted... How come I haven’t figured out what’s so good about that guy?!

I can’t even say a bad word about him in front of my sister, otherwise Light Dance would immediately turn against me; now, I can’t even speak ill of him in front of his sister, because this young lady would also turn hostile.

And it’s instantaneous! Turning hostile faster and fiercer than my sister!

Is this the trend of the world, where young girls are so fierce?

Is there still a place for reason in this world? Is there a heavenly principle?

Am I, Mo Tianji, destined to live my life while shamelessly praising Chu Yang?...

We’re both brothers, but why is there such a disparity in treatment?

It’s too tragic...

“Mo Tianji, what’s wrong with you today? Are you having a fit? Didn’t you always say Chu Yang isn’t that great?” Ao Xieyun’s sarcastic voice echoed. It turned out he was already awake from his drunken state; with such a good show to watch, how could he not get involved?
