Fairy, Don't Be Afraid, I Am Blind

Chapter 319 - 86: The Way to Resolve a Love Triangle

"Junior sister! Stop!"

You Su cast the Ruyi Wind Manipulation Skill, instantly blocking Ji Lingruo’s path.

"Are you still going to help her?!"

Ji Lingruo, seeing You Su still protecting that senior sister at this crucial moment, shouted with indignant rage.

"I..."

You Su was momentarily speechless, feeling that an angry woman was utterly unreasonable. Little did he know that the one he wanted to protect was not the senior sister but this ’reckless’ junior sister.

"Junior sister, don’t act rashly. It really isn’t what you think."

"Then tell me! What do I think?"

Ji Lingruo drew her sword and embedded it in the ground with a swish, subconsciously unwilling to point the tip at her senior brother.

You Su noticed the junior sister’s action, realizing there was still room for a turnaround, his brain quickly raced:

The root cause of junior sister’s anger was discovering his overly intimate behavior with senior sister beyond what was appropriate between siblings. If he could explain this clearly, he could surely calm her down temporarily.

But the key issue was... You Su couldn’t come up with a reason to convince the junior sister.

"You still won’t admit it?"

"Admit what?"

You Su felt his scalp tingle. He indeed had no romantic feelings for the senior sister, so what was there to admit?

After envisioning several unworkable approaches, he simply clutched his chest, pretending to be overwhelmed with pain from a recurring old injury.

"Ugh..."

Suddenly, You Su let out a pained cry, staggered a few steps, and his collar was wrinkled from clutching it, looking as if he was in agony.

Ji Lingruo frowned slightly. She didn’t believe You Su’s performance, assuming he was trying to muddle through.

But it was only when she saw You Su’s completely black eyes that she wavered a bit. She had only seen You Su’s eyes turn black once, which was in that black coffin where the True Lord lay.

"Your eyes..."

"It’s Him..." You Su grasped his chest as if struggling, nearly falling to the ground.

Ji Lingruo’s expression turned grave immediately. She had experienced the True Lord’s ordeal with her senior brother, so she naturally understood who he referred to as ’Him’.

Wangshu, however, continued to sit elegantly on the stone seat, blinking without speaking. She could see through whether people lied, but she couldn’t see whether You Su truly felt pain.

Then, just as You Su was about to fall, she gracefully got up and hurried towards him, intending to support her junior brother.

Ji Lingruo wouldn’t let her have her way, daring to hug her senior brother in front of her, really thinking she didn’t exist?

Ji Lingruo was already very close to You Su, coupled with You Su intentionally or unintentionally leaning towards her, she reached out and caught him.

You Su was enveloped in this dreamlike fragrance and warmth, feeling a sense of happiness and emotion, but the seasoned actor didn’t forget to continue furrowing his brows, pretending to be in pain.

"Are you okay?"

Ji Lingruo was somewhat startled. You Su lay in her arms, this beloved handsome face so close, yet not retaining the calmness of the past in her memory.

Was senior brother like this because of me...

You Su exerted too much force, his forehead was covered with fine cold sweat. He shook his head difficultly, the dark green light in his black pupils faintly glowing.

Ji Lingruo’s anger indeed subsided considerably, replaced by a worried expression.

After all, she never intended to sever ties with You Su. Her tantrum was just because she felt defeated by her arduous journey here, only to find her senior brother not only dual cultivating with her sister but also being affectionate with his own senior sister. This made her feel particularly frustrated, as if during their separation, she was the only one enduring loneliness and longing.

Her arrogance was only to emphasize her existence to her senior brother and to see where she stood in his eyes. But seeing her senior brother getting internal injuries from trying to keep her, Ji Lingruo felt deeply guilty.

Wangshu was much more straightforward than Ji Lingruo, directly raising You Su’s right hand and beginning to inject Profound Qi to check his meridians and spirit altar.

Ji Lingruo, seeing her actions, remembered she was the culprit who disrupted her reunion with her senior brother, angrily said:

"What are you doing?!"

"Senior sister... I’m fine..."

You Su quietly lowered his eyes to avoid meeting the clear blue eyes under the Jade Rabbit Mask, fearing she would see through his heart’s secret. But this seemingly tough talking was genuine. After all, he really was fine.

"Do you look fine?"

Ji Lingruo worriedly stared at You Su’s divine-looking dark green eyes, placing her hand on his forehead to carefully feel the young man’s temperature.

You Su felt guilty for the concern these two women showed him. As the saying goes, people can only deceive those who trust them, but faced with this difficult predicament, he had no choice but to resort to such measures.

"Junior sister, just let me rest... I’ll be fine..." You Su said weakly.

But those words did not reassure Ji Lingruo; she furrowed her brows tightly as if she saw a change on You Su’s face.

The dark color in his black pupils seemed like poison, spreading from You Su’s eye sockets outward, extending to his temples and cheeks, like two black spider webs covering his eyes. Moreover, You Su’s face also began to decay with sores, like dead skin peeling off from withering.

Ji Lingruo was terrified by You Su’s transformation, with any prior doubts suddenly vanishing; You Su wasn’t feigning injury for sympathy.

The tears she had held back before refused to be contained, overwhelmed with regret, falling in crystal droplets which splashed on You Su’s face, leaving him stunned for a moment.

You Su never imagined that he merely wanted to interrupt this farce but didn’t expect his junior sister would be so worried as to cry, making him feel deeply ashamed, unable to resist raising his hand to wipe away her lingering tears.
