Chapter 369 - 173: The Asura Scene Will Come Eventually (2)

She breathed a sigh of relief, "Before coming to Peixun Lake, I was very nervous because I had to stand with you again. The little bit of shine I had managed to acquire was going to be overshadowed by you again. I even thought about finding an excuse not to come."

"I’m sorry."

"You haven’t hurt me, why say that?" Fu Manman spoke softly, "You just said that in the Eternal Immortal Sect, you were pretending. But I think that’s actually a release of your nature. Although I don’t quite understand what kind of life you led in the Luo Family, I imagine it wasn’t too happy. So, I want to ask you, are you happy in the Eternal Immortal Sect, when you’re by your elder brother’s side?"

"Happy."

Fu Manman smiled, "See, you’re really happy. Happiness is the most natural emotion for a person. That means the you in the Eternal Immortal Sect is the real you, and the you here is the pretend you."

"I don’t understand..."

"Which part don’t you understand, I’ll say it again." Fu Manman said gently.

Luo Qingyao trembled all over, biting her lower lip tightly until it bled, trying hard to restrain herself but still couldn’t help sobbing, "I don’t understand why you have to say these things to me!"

"Why..." Fu Manman was stunned. She hadn’t thought about why she said those things. She just saw Luo Qingyao was very depressed, like a tangled ball of yarn, and wanted to comfort her.

Luo Qingyao shouted, "Do you know, I’ve always considered you my enemy! I wished you would stay as far away from my senior brother as possible, preferably never to see him again! When I heard him call you ’Man’Er’, I was so jealous I could go crazy!

"Why is it, why can you travel with him for two years, while I can only stay in a place like this, surrounded only by flattery and all sorts of demands! Even to have a reunion hug with my senior brother, I have to be so cautious! Because I’m afraid that if I hold too tightly, the dream will end!

"The things I can only have in dreams, you got so easily, how is that fair! How is that fair!

"And when I’m being so malicious towards you. Yet you...you only think the best for me..."

Suddenly, she felt a severe cramp in her abdomen, the pain radiating to her heart and temples, making them throb violently.

She squatted on the ground and began to dry heave.

"Qingyao!" Fu Manman wanted to come forward to support her.

"Don’t come near me!" Luo Qingyao shouted loudly.

Fu Manman stood frozen in place, stiff as a statue.

Seeing her like this, Luo Qingyao hurriedly said, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry... I didn’t mean it, I’m really sorry! Please forget what I just said."

After saying this, she quickly fled.

A while later, Fan Wubing walked in, leading Xianchan, talking and laughing.

Then, he saw Fu Manman standing there stupefied, tears streaming down her face.

Fan Wubing was startled, "What happened!"

Fu Manman cried and said, "I... I think I hurt Qingyao."

She was so sad, and no matter how much Fan Wubing and Xianchan tried to comfort her, it was no use.

...

On the other side of Sword Nurturing Island, in Luo Ling Immortal’s Sword Institute.

Luo Ling Immortal was sitting at her desk, summarizing what she’d gained from her practice over this period, her insights, and areas for improvement.

Suddenly, a Sword Qi arc flashed in.

There was no need to think to know who it was. In the entire Peixun Lake Islands, only her own sister dared to enter her courtyard this way.

Luo Qingyao entered the study, rushed straight under the desk in front of Luo Ling Immortal, then sat on the ground, hugged her knees, buried her head in her legs, and cried silently.

Luo Ling Immortal was startled.

Her sister had a "habit" of hiding under her desk whenever she was upset. For ordinary sadness, she just hid and stared blankly. It was only for severe sadness that she would hug her head and cry like this.

She remembered, the last time her sister cried like this was when bad news came about their parents from the Fallen Immortal Land.

Luo Ling Immortal felt as if facing a formidable enemy, and first racked her brains, thinking of everything that could make her sister this sad, then took a deep breath, squatted down, and looked at her under the desk.

"Qingyao, what’s wrong?"

Luo Qingyao, her eyes red, said, "Sister, I don’t want to live anymore, just kill me with a sword."

"Don’t rush, take your time to explain, what happened? Did Fan Wubing dump you?"

"I did something really, really bad..."

Although her sister was choking with sobs and couldn’t form full sentences, Luo Ling Immortal, with years of experience being her sister, managed to understand the gist of what happened.

She immediately developed a headache.

Because she didn’t understand these things either! Since she was enlightened at eight, she had been focused on cultivating immortality and practicing swordsmanship, and without realizing it, she was almost forty. Affairs between two people she had never experienced, let alone three!

What to do?

Luo Ling Immortal thought for a moment, "It’s all Fan Wubing’s fault, I’ll go teach him a lesson to vent your anger."

"Don’t do that," Luo Qingyao said sadly, "it’s my fault. I know, except for me, no one did anything wrong in this matter. I’m the one who ruined this reunion. But I... I really don’t understand why there is someone like Senior Sister Manman. Clearly, I have never given her a good look, yet she always considers me in everything."

Luo Ling Immortal immediately understood that she didn’t need to do much comforting, she just needed to listen quietly to her sister’s outpouring.

"She saw that I was gloomy and, out of goodwill, comforted and eased me. Yet I... I vented all my repressed feelings and frustrations on her. I even feel nauseated by myself... why am I such an annoying person! There are hardly any people who care about me, yet I have to hurt those who truly care about me." Luo Qingyao said through gritted teeth.
