Qin Chuan had long anticipated this outcome, given his junior sister's temperament. Regardless of whether she reconciled with Long Yuanchong, he wouldn't kill her.
Long Yuanchong likely understood this as well, but even with that understanding, unexpected events could occur, especially when life was at stake. His junior sister was incredibly enraged and prone to losing her temper.
Normally, she wouldn't kill him, but this wasn't normal. Therefore, Long Yuanchong remained unmoved, displaying considerable courage.
Or rather, it was Long Yuanchong's attitude—an attitude crucial, especially towards women. With this attitude, even a man's grave mistakes could be redeemed.
"You...you...can you forgive me?" Long Yuanchong whispered, his expression tense.
He was a Celestial Emperor, yet at this moment, he was as nervous as a child who had made a mistake, looking at his junior sister with a myriad of emotions swirling within him. His
junior sister remained silent, simply gazing at Long Yuanchong's pale face. Her smile at this moment seemed so innocent, as if she had returned to a long, long past.
Qin Chuan didn't know if his junior sister would forgive Long Yuanchong, but he had things to do and was taking her to Li Wangcheng in Xianmu Kingdom.
However, Qin Chuan hesitated, unsure whether to speak now or wait until she had dealt with her situation with Long Yuanchong.
Finally, Long Yuanchong left with a smile. His junior sister spoke, but Qin Chuan didn't understand what she said. However, judging from the situation, even if she hadn't forgiven Long Yuanchong, there was a possibility of forgiveness.
Qin Chuan had somewhat anticipated this outcome, because his junior sister and Long Yuanchong had a son, a significant bargaining chip, and it was difficult for her to ignore this factor given her personality.
Long Yuanchong hugged Qin Chuan as he left, said thank you, and then left, leaving Qin Chuan somewhat confused.
But he didn't care; he and Long Yuanchong would definitely part ways, and it was already a great relief that they hadn't immediately faced another life-or-death battle. His
junior sister watched Long Yuanchong's departing figure before looking at Qin Chuan. Her gaze was complex; frankly, she trusted Qin Chuan far more than Long Yuanchong.
Many things have no hypotheticals. Besides, for the eldest brother, it's more of a familial bond; he's someone you can rely on, someone you can trust like family.
"There are some things I should tell you now. I wonder if you want to hear them?" Qin Chuan said.
Although Qin Chuan, at the Immortal Emperor realm, could help his junior sister with that matter, he didn't know the specifics.
Ultimately, everything depended on her wishes. If he didn't want to, the matter could be canceled.
But if she was willing, Qin Chuan would naturally take her to find out.
The junior sister was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Qin Chuan to say such a thing, looking at him with a moment of confusion.
"I don't know either. My father told me. The Immortal Wood Kingdom, Li Wang City. If you want to go, I'll go with you. If you don't want to go, then we won't go," Qin Chuan said.
"Immortal Wood Kingdom, Li Wang City," the junior sister murmured blankly.
This was actually quite plausible; it was likely related to her background. Besides that, who knew what other possibilities there might be?
The junior sister seemed conflicted. She'd never considered herself to have a family; her master was her father, and the sect was her home.
Sometimes it's like that—even without emotional ties, you share the same blood. Even if you can't forgive, you still want to see, to see why you became an orphan…
