Chapter 143: Chapter 143: Annoyed as I may be, it’s not like I dislike you.

"This Teleportation Array is what they set up to reach that base."

Seeing that everyone had gathered around the Array, Liang Yi explained briefly.

"Do we know where that base is?" Ying Xi rubbed his stubbly chin.

"Not sure, we only know there’s a Vermilion Bird envoy of the Seventh Realm presiding over the place, preparing to enchant the souls of the participants captured by the Devouring Spirit Sect en masse."

Liang Yi shook his head, this secret location was known to only a few high-ranking members of the Devouring Spirit Sect. Unfortunately, those high-ranking members had just been wiped out by him.

"Then we should not delay, shall we go directly through?" As Ying Xi stood on the Transmission Array, he was about to call everyone over.

"Wait a moment, Elder Ying." He Zhiqing, who had been in deep thought, looked up and spoke up in objection.

"Hm, what’s wrong?"

"Going through now might not be wise, as Devouring Spirit Sect members were visibly cleared out by Junior Brother Liang’s sword just now. Perhaps that Vermilion Bird envoy has already noticed the situation here."

"There might even be an ambush waiting for us!"

He Zhiqing simply stated his reasons, and he even performed a quick divination. Using the Transmission Array at this time would be extremely dangerous.

However, whether the danger came from an ambush or the Vermilion Bird envoy, he did not know. Regardless, this did not prevent him from stopping everyone from stepping into danger.

Ying Xi hadn’t thought of this, as cultivators focusing on bodily strength usually aren’t the brightest. Even as a high-ranking official of the Immortal Dynasty who had focused on body cultivation, he could only be considered slightly cleverer.

"What does Chief He suggest?" Facing a situation he was ill-equipped to handle, Ying Xi decisively stopped thinking and threw the issue over to the smarter person.

"We should first dismantle the Great Formation near Huasen Mountain, which would allow us direct contact with the Immortal Dynasty outside."

"Then, the Immortal Dynasty can dispatch cultivators to set up scouting Arrays around the Secret Realm. In this way, after we use the Transmission Array, we can receive reinforcements from outside at any moment. Even if those people prepare to flee during this time, the formations set up around the Secret Realm can prevent them from using the Array to escape!"

After thinking for a moment, He Zhiqing came up with a compromise. This way, whether or not they encounter members of the Devouring Spirit Sect later, they would not be at a disadvantage.

"Alright, let’s do that!"

Ying Xi clapped his hands together, signaling his agreement with the suggestion.

"In that case, you all go break that Great Formation. Youyi and I will stay here and guard."

After pondering, Liang Yi, who felt weak at the moment, decided it would be best to stay and recuperate despite knowing he and his junior sister wouldn’t be of much help if they went.

"That sounds good, so please Junior Brother Liang, wait here for a bit."

He Zhiqing also felt it was better for Liang Yi to rest, considering that as a Second Realm cultivator, having to retreat in one piece after infiltrating a base guarded by a Sixth Realm peak cultivator brought extraordinary pressure.

Watching Ying Xi and the others leave, Liang Yi finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Still angry?"

Looking at his junior sister, who had been sulking on her own since the beginning, Liang Yi felt somewhat embarrassed and scratched his head.

This time he had indeed been inconsiderate, his thinking still dominated by the ways of his previous life. In his former life, Liang Yi used to undertake various missions alone, and naturally, he planned strategies for himself only. Hence, the oversight this time in excluding his junior sister made him feel guilty towards her.

This plan also had many flaws of its own; a single wrong move could have spelled death.

Fortunately, his handsome face was sturdy enough!

"Hmph!"

Su Youyi snorted lightly and turned her back to Liang Yi, refusing to look at him.

"Sigh."

Liang Yi scratched his head more frequently now, wondering what to do. He wasn’t versed in the art of comforting women. Seeing his junior sister’s somewhat lonely figure, he felt guilt and urgency in his heart; he had indeed offended her this time.

After pondering to no avail, Liang Yi could only resort to the ultimate move.

"Ah!"

With his arms stretched open, he quickly embraced her in a hug amidst her surprised cry, his hands passing around her waist and his face gently leaning close to her cheek.

In Liang Yi’s sensation, his junior sister felt as soft as a cloud.

"Can you forgive your senior brother this one time?"

Secret Technique · Whisper of the Devil!

"Senior... Senior Brother, let... let me go!"

Su Youyi’s eyes suddenly widened, her voice and lashes trembled together, her earlobes flushed red, and the warmth exhaled by her senior brother as he spoke next to her ear made her body soften. If it weren’t for leaning against her senior brother at this moment, she might have already slumped to the ground.

"Then tell Senior Brother, are you still angry?"

Secret Technique · Whisper of the Devil’s double chant!

Liang Yi felt utterly shameless at this moment! How could he bully his innocent junior sister like this!

Su Youyi murmured softly, but her voice was so low that Liang Yi, even close as he was, couldn’t quite make it out.

"Huh? What, I didn’t catch that." Liang Yi was flustered, wondering what she said.

Feeling the solid and reliable chest of her senior brother and the strong beating of his heart from behind, Su Youyi’s cheeks blushed, her eyes wandering to a random spot in the grand hall, arrogantly repeating the words she had just uttered:

"Being angry is being angry, it’s not that I don’t like you!"

The feelings Liang Yi had when he heard those words were hard to describe with words; he was stunned.

The simpler the words, the more powerful they were.

Life, death, love!

Like fireworks rising in his heart, like the tender peach blossoms of early spring blooming, for the first time he understood why there was a term called sweet nothings, and what it felt like to have a heart racing with excitement.

Junior Sister’s emotions were never concealed; she laid them bare before Liang Yi, just waiting for his response.

"Is this what falling in love is?" Liang Yi looked dazed.

As though he was afraid Su Youyi would escape from his side, Liang Yi subconsciously held his junior sister a bit tighter.

"Youyi."

Liang Yi’s voice was somewhat deep.

"Huh?"

Junior Brother suddenly being so formal made Su Youyi feel somewhat unaccustomed.

"You are a treasure more precious than my life, and I will be with you until the end of my life!"

Turning his junior sister around, Liang Yi looked down into her gem-like dazzling pale-red eyes, his tone serious.

"Why... why would you suddenly say something like that!"

Su Youyi shrank her neck quietly, somewhat afraid to look into her senior brother’s eyes.

His gaze was too intense, even though she had been looking forward to his response since she was little. But when this day suddenly arrived, she somehow couldn’t believe it.

"Because you are the only meaning in this world for me."

Liang Yi felt a bit melancholic; this sentence came straight from his heart.

Junior Sister truly was the only meaning in this world for him; without her, he didn’t even know what he would become.

Liang Yi knew that he was far from as strong as he imagined.

Alone in a foreign land as a foreigner, no matter how familiar he was with this world, his place of belonging did not lie here. The survival or extinction of the world had nothing to do with him, the billions of people in the world had no connection to him.

He treated this world as a game, and the world saw him as a wandering soul.

The ultimate outcome was either he destroyed this world, or he destroyed himself.

But all of this, everything, was broken down by the embrace of his junior sister when he had just crossed over.

The moment they embraced, he found his meaning in this world, and his junior sister became his bundle of white moonlight.
