“Sorry for keeping this a secret from you two, Meixiu…” Yu Rou sighed a moment later.
“No, I should be the one apologizing. There have been many moments where I pondered about telling you. But seeing you so happy to be his ‘little sister’, I didn’t want to ruin it for you or him by tearing apart your status as brother and sister.” Meixiu shook her head.
“I understand. After all, that’s also why I didn’t reveal the fact that I knew about it. I didn’t want to ruin our relationship as siblings.” Yu Rou smiled.
She then turned to look at Chu Liuxiang and continued, “Can you tell me about Brother Yuan’s life in the orphanage? I have always been curious, but I was also too scared to ask about it since that would give everything away.”
“Of course! It would be my pleasure!”
To Yu Rou’s surprise, Chu Liuxiang didn’t object to her request, as she was certain that Chu Liuxiang would rather keep everything a secret just to tease her.
“But in return, you’ll tell me about Brother Yuan’s life in the Yu Family. The good memories. I already know all of the bad ones, after all.” Chu Liuxiang added.
And for the rest of the journey, Chu Liuxiang and Yu Rou would share their memories with Yuan to each other, quickly becoming friends.
‘What a surprise…”
This left Meixiu profoundly surprised, as she did not expect the two of them would suddenly become friends. In fact, she had expected some sort of rivalry between them, especially since Yu Rou is very protective when it comes to Yuan being with other women.
A few hours later, they arrived at Pang City, and Feng Yuxiang descended directly in front of the Luo Family’s manor.
“W-Welcome back, Seniors!” The guards bowed to them.
A couple of minutes later, they went to Yuan’s room.
“Young Master, I have returned from the trip.” Feng Yuxiang knocked on the door.
“Brother Yuan! I am here!” Yu Rou shouted in an excited voice.
Yuan appeared before them shortly after hearing their voices.
“Hello, Yu Rou. It’s been a while—”
Yu Rou pounced on Yuan and hugged him tightly before he could even finish his sentence.
“I have missed you very much, brother!”
Yuan returned her hug, “I missed you too.”
“Anyways, why did you want to meet with us so suddenly?” Yuan asked her once they entered his room.
“Well, I was worried about you.”
“Worried about me?” Yuan raised his eyebrows.
“Of course! I heard that you’d killed thousands of people and exterminated an entire sect! Is that true?! I couldn’t believe it when I heard it! After all, there’s no way that you could do such a thing!”
“Oh… So it’s about the Blood Sect, huh?” Yuan sighed.
