Chapter 263.2: You Cant Like Him (1/2)

“Isn’t he your senior brother? Is there a need for me to help you find him?”

“This is the annoying part. I think of him as a senior brother and show him my utmost respect but he never treats me as a junior brother. He never takes care of me. Not only is he always distant, now he doesn’t even look at me!” Nangong Yan started feeling wronged again.

That black-robed man said, “Then why are you looking for him? You should just head back to Wind Cloud Island. Cerulean Mountain is about to start the Saint Offering Conference. When the time comes, everyone that isn’t needed will be disposed of. My position in the Saint Tribes isn’t as strong as in the past. It’ll probably be difficult for me to protect you.”

“I…” Nangong Yan lowered her head as a trace of bashfulness flashed across her face. “I just wanted to ask Senior Brother whether he was really the one that did that back then.”

“Did what?” The black-robed man glanced at Nangong Yan with shock. “You’ve fallen in love with him?”

Nangong Yan didn’t explain what happened back then. When she heard the question ‘you’ve fallen in love with him,’ her heart pounded so hard she felt like it was about to jump out of her chest. Even the tips of her ears flushed red.

Upon seeing this, the black-robed person’s eyes gradually turned cold. In the end, he slapped the table and shouted, “Yan er, you had best give up on this! You can’t like Baili Yu!”

“Why!?” Nangong Yan glowered. She couldn’t understand why everyone said this. What part of her was bad? Could it be that she was that far from being a suitable match for Senior Brother?

The black-robed person sighed heavily. “Yan er, in the past, you always asked me about your identity, right?”

A trace of confusion flashed through Nangong Yan’s eyes. Why did he suddenly bring this up? She did ask about this a lot in the past, but she had stopped asking after she became the adopted daughter of the Nangong family.

The black-robed man said, “If it weren’t for the fact that the time hadn’t arrived yet, I would have told you earlier. However, you’re actually having this kind of thought now, it’s seriously… it’s seriously letting down that person!”

The more Nangong Yan heard, the more confused she became. “How does this have anything to do with me liking Senior Brother?”

The black-clothed person gave another heavy sigh and shook his head as he looked at her. In the end, he didn’t tell her the reason and just tried to dissuade her. “In a bit, I’ll get someone to help you leave Cerulean Mountain. As for Baili Yu, you should just give up on this thought! He’s already engaged! Why put yourself through this futile struggle?”

“I won’t! Why do I have to give up!? I’m clearly the one Senior Brother likes! If it weren’t for Li Xueyi using her schemes, I would’ve already gotten married to Senior Brother! I… I can’t accept this!” Nangong Yan hadn’t expected that even the uncle who had always doted on her wouldn’t support her in this. She had already heard words like this countless times. When she first heard these words, she did feel that there was some logic to them, but the more she heard these same words, the more annoyed she became. She wasn’t causing a fuss out of nothing. Back then, Senior Brother had liked her. If not, he wouldn’t have…

The more Nangong Yan thought about it, the more wrong she felt. Why did it felt like she was the mistress? Why did everyone criticize her? It was clearly Li Xueyi who came in, destroyed their relationship, and snatched Senior Brother away.

It was all because of that hateful woman!
