"No need, he's just my partner. What does it matter if it's a misunderstanding or not? I've already decided to live as the leader of the Xuan Division, Ying Mei, for the rest of my life, to be loyal to Jun Shang and Miss. For a monster that's neither male nor female like me, talking about love is nothing more than a luxury … isn't it better to cut it off cleanly like this, once and for all? "
"If it doesn't matter, why are you crying?"
Situ Tingye's voice is helpless and pitiful.
Ying Mei reacts at this time, reaching out her hand to wipe her face.
It's cold and damp to the touch.
She, she's crying?
Why didn't she feel anything just now? No bitterness, no sadness, no grievance, only empty numbness and coldness.
From now on, no one will ignore his cold face and chase after her, calling her Little Shadow.
From now on, no one will risk their life to save her.
From now on, no one will be like that fool called Han Ye, who will love her wholeheartedly.
"Ge." Ying Mei raises her head to look at Situ Tingye, hoarsely saying, "I don't want to cry, but I can't stop the tears."
"Silly girl!" Situ Tingye holds her in his arms, sighing, "You've always liked to put on a brave front since you were a child, always wanting to shoulder everything on your shoulders. So many years have passed, why haven't you changed at all?"
Ying Mei wipes away her tears, pulling out a smile: "Ge, Miss said that your medicine needs to be decocted, I'll go take a look …"
He looks at Ying Mei, who has already completely recovered her cold expression.
Then he looks at her attire and temperament, which are no different from a man's.
Situ Tingye's brows slightly wrinkle.
It's only at this moment that he realizes that even if they're both stubborn, the cold "youngster" before him is already completely different from his younger sister.
"Ying 'er!" He presses down on Ying Mei's shoulder, saying in a low voice, "What happened back then, tell big brother in detail, okay?"
What happened back then?
Hearing this question, Ying Mei is distracted for a moment.
That was something that happened more than twenty years ago. Even for a cultivator, it's been a long time.
So long that she's almost forgotten that nightmarish night.
At that time, the Lan family empire hadn't yet fallen into chaos because of the Beast God's Soul Pearl.
The power structure of one country, three alliances, six families, and eight sects on the floating island was more stable than it was today, but the members were slightly different.
Of the eight sects, there was a sect that no longer existed, the Skyline Palace.
Of the six families, there was also one that did not have it now, but was ranked last in the past, the Shi family.
The Shi family was an expert in formations, and the family head, Shi Huainan, was one of the best formation masters on the floating island at that time.
However, Shi Huainan's two sons, Shi Ye and Shi Qi, did not have the slightest bit of talent in formations.
In particular, Shi Ye had been weak and sickly since he was a child. Not to mention refining formations, even his cultivation was several times more difficult than others.
Because there was no successor, the Shi family declined little by little, and they were even about to be kicked out of the Six Great Families.
It was also at this time that the third daughter of the Shi Family, Shi Ying, was born.
Shi Huainan had never seen anyone as talented as Shi Ying in battle.
Whether it was his sword techniques, formations, or cultivation speed, Shi Ying had far surpassed his peers.
However, when she was young, Shi Ying would always see Shi Huainan sighing softly at her.
"With such talent, why not give it to Shi Ye and Shi Qi?"
"If only it was a boy!"
