We Can Share Senior Brother (Mistakenly)

Ji Xueruo suddenly unleashed her full aura. The noble temperament she had cultivated since childhood, having held a high position, made her look like an angry Empress of her clan, with her stern face.

People say that an elder sister is like a mother. Although Ji Xueruo and Ji Lingruo are the same age and even look the same, their long-standing relationship has always been that of a strict older sister and a silly younger sister.

Ji Lingruo Ji Xueruo, she felt as if she had been interrogated by her older sister when she had done something wrong as a child. Her previous arrogance about 'catching the mistress' was instantly suppressed. She unconsciously took a small step back and weakly retorted:

"I... I didn't..."

"No?!"

Ji Xueruo pressed her advantage, taking a fierce step forward. Underneath her white and blue skirts, two full, soft mounds pressed against each other once more, like two soft dough balls piled together and deformed by pressure.

At this moment, just like at that time, but unlike the last time the sisters met and Ji Xueruo was slightly inferior, this time, the two sisters were evenly matched.

Furthermore, despite being the same height, the two possessed vastly different auras, making Ji Xueruo appear to have won a resounding victory.

"If not, why are you in such a hurry to return to the Central Continent? Granny Liu raised you all these years, how many words have you spoken to her? So many aunts and sisters in the clan are looking forward to your return, how can you let them down?"

"I..."

Ji Lingruo her sister's pressure. She took a step back as if admitting defeat, freeing her heart from the soft, tender embrace.

She never expected that the claim in the Joyous Union Technique) that dual cultivation could promote regrowth was actually true!

"What do you mean, 'you'? Ji Lingruo, don't tell me you haven't even visited your mother's grave before rushing off to find a man!"

Ji Xueruo decided to deliver the final blow to the younger sister who was planning to turn the tables and become the older sister.

However, Ji Lingruo did not completely recognize her 'mistake' as Ji Xueruo had hoped. Her previously timid demeanor instantly changed, and her beautiful eyes stared firmly at Ji Xueruo, as if her sore spot had been touched.

"Ji Xueruo! Don't slander me! I went to see my mother on my very first day back in the clan! And! If I hadn't known you were seducing my senior brother, why would I have been in such a hurry to return to the Central Yuan Continent?!"

As she finished speaking, Ji Lingruo even drew her personal sword, the blade of which was engraved with a lifelike giant python and gleamed with a cold Sword-Ray.

Ji Xueruo recognized the sword; it was the sword that their mother Ji Muyan, once wore.

Ji Lingruo used Wooden Sword at the Mandarin Sword Sect and never had her own sword. You Su had promised her that he would find her the best sword when she graduated, but Ji Lingruo couldn't wait any longer. She took the sword from her deceased mother's altar and now pointed it at her own sister.

Ji Xueruo sister's defiance and stared blankly at the sword. She realized that she had underestimated her sister; for the sake of a man, she would actually turn against her own sister, with whom she depended for survival.

At this moment, Ji Xueruo felt extremely frustrated, and her previous arrogance, which had allowed her to take the lead, was completely extinguished.

I didn't seduce him.

Ji Xueruo took the initiative to sit back down at the coffee table, indicating that she wanted to sit down and have a proper talk.

Seeing her sister's dejected appearance, Ji Lingruo realized she had gone too far. After all, they were twin sisters, bound by blood; couldn't they talk things out?

She quickly sheathed her sword, stood timidly by the table, not daring to sit down, and muttered:

"Sister... I... I didn't draw my sword for any other reason than to prove to you that I went to see Mother..."

Having never been to Ji Muyan's altar, one naturally cannot take her sword.

Ji Xueruo simply nodded and replied calmly:

"I misunderstood you. Sit down, let's talk calmly."

Ji Lingruo suddenly felt an urge to cry again. She obediently sat down and waited for her sister to speak.

How did you guess that I... had met your senior brother?

Ji Xueruo wanted to say "had been with", but she was too embarrassed to say it, so she said "saw".

The exceptionally intelligent Ji Lingruo immediately understood and replied:

"At that time, I had just received my baptism... and I sensed it through my divine connection. The reason I knew it was my senior brother was because I clearly felt that although my Demon Core hadn't moved, it was constantly changing."

Ji Xueruo finally understood why her sister had guessed; You Su's ability to regenerate Demon Core was indeed extremely rare, and it would be difficult to find anyone else like him. However, compared to this, she was more concerned about her sister:

"If you calculate the time, even if you were delayed on the way, your baptism will take at least twenty days?"

"A total of twenty-four days," Ji Lingruo replied.

Ji Xueruo let out a long praise:

"Your growth has exceeded my expectations, and I am very pleased."

Ji Lingruo rarely received praise from her older sister, and even when she did, it was never about cultivation. She was initially cautious, worried that her sister would feel frustrated by being surpassed by her younger sister, who had always been a burden to her, but she never expected that her sister would genuinely praise her.

"Once you return from learning swordsmanship from Lotus Sword Venerable, I will formally pass the position of clan leader to you," Ji Xueruo said solemnly.

In her view, the position of clan leader should be held by the most capable person. Since the Serpent Ancestor approves of her sister more than she does, she has no right to occupy the position of clan leader.

"What nonsense are you talking about, sister! The position of clan leader belongs to you, I definitely can't take it."

Ji Lingruo quickly denied it. She had never imagined that she would stand in that position. In fact, she knew all too well how hard her sister had worked over the years, and she was often grateful that she had a sister who dared to take responsibility and stand in front of her.

"Besides, this is all fortuitous opportunity brought to me by my senior brother. If you were to undergo the baptism now, it would definitely take longer than twenty-four days!"

Looking at her sister's adoring eyes, Ji Xueruo felt even more pain in her heart, unable to tell whether this man was fortuitous opportunity or a curse bestowed upon them by heaven.

"Then we'll discuss this matter again. When you have the desire to become the clan leader, you can openly express it, and we'll compete fairly."

Ji Lingruo waved her hand dismissively, poured a cup of tea for her sister and herself, and continued with the question that concerned her most:

"Sister, even if you envy my Demon Core... you can't do this... he is, after all, my dao companion."

Ji Xueruo took a sip of tea and almost choked, then retorted, "In your opinion, am I such a ruthless demon?"

Ji Lingruo blinked her bright eyes twice, as if asking, "Isn't that right?"

Ji Xueruo let out a long sigh, realizing that her younger sister had misunderstood her too deeply.

"I never imagined things would turn out this way; it was all a series of unforeseen events and unavoidable circumstances."

Ji Lingruo narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "Really?"

"Absolutely true."

"Then tell me, what exactly did you go through?" Ji Lingruo suddenly sat up straight, looking like she was all ears.

Ji Xueruo glanced at her helplessly, recalling the past half month as if it were yesterday. She felt a pang of sadness and didn't know where to begin.

Seeing her sister's hesitant expression, Ji Lingruo had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

Ji Xueruo slowly began her narration:

"To enter Jade Ring Pool and obtain the Lotus Root Heart, I pretended to be the granddaughter of a special fisherman outside the Jade Ring Lake, concealing the truth about his granddaughter's accident. In return, he gave me a lotus seed as a ticket to enter the pond. One day, your senior brother also visited Jade Ring Lake. He concealed himself well, not letting anyone know he was blind; at first, I didn't recognize him..."

As Ji Xueruo recounted her story, Ji Lingruo listened more and more attentively, as if afraid of missing any detail of their interactions.

However, Ji Xueruo only gave a general account of the events, glossing over her interactions with You Su, and even deliberately omitting them. She didn't mention at all the method she used with You Su to break the illusion.

She had no right to confess to her sister how she fell in love with her brother-in-law, nor did she dare to recall that illusion. Having made that bet, she was unwilling to trap herself in that illusion and linger there, for that would only hold her back.

After speaking, Ji Lingruo lingering fear. In terms of the level of danger she had experienced, it was actually comparable to what she had experienced in Chuyun City. And without exception, her senior brothers had all become the key to breaking the deadlock.

"Don't worry, I've already made a promise with You Su that we won't see each other again, and I won't interfere in your relationship. This experience was just a side story; he did it to save me, and I did it to save myself. Although it might sound a bit harsh, I really hope you won't take it too hard. He likes you a lot, and he must feel bad about doing something like this."

Ji Xueruo calmly distanced herself from You Su, Ji Lingruo she did not want this matter to become a rift between her sister and You Su.

However, when explaining to his younger sister that You Su really liked his junior sister, a sharp pain still inexplicably arose in his heart.

"Sister, are you really willing to never see me again?"

Ji Lingruo asked casually, but no one knew what this impulsive girl was thinking.

Ji Xueruo frowned and retorted, "Do you really think I would fall for a human male cultivator? Don't forget, we haven't avenged my mother yet."

After saying that, she added, "However, after all that we've been through, You Su is indeed a trustworthy comrade-in-arms, and he has overturned my impression of male human cultivators. Perhaps entrusting you to him isn't a bad thing."

The girl in the blue dress nodded seriously, though she still had doubts about the term 'comrade-in-arms'.

She wasn't stupid; she could sense that her sister was being very restrained in her description, as if she was hiding something. She had no intention of exposing it, after all, from what she heard, her sister really had risked her life at the Jade Ring Pool for a snake demon. If it weren't for her senior brother, she probably wouldn't even have had the chance to see her sister again.

Putting herself in her sister's shoes, she felt somewhat fortunate that her omnipotent senior brother was by her side. With that in mind, her desire to criticize her senior brother and sister diminished considerably.

"But even if my sister can manage to never see you again, what if my senior brother can't forget you?"

Upon Ji Xueruo froze for a moment, thinking to herself that her younger sister really understood her senior brother. She sighed inwardly, then said solemnly:

"It seems you lack confidence in your own charm? Do you feel that your three years of companionship are not as valuable as my two weeks of working side by side with you?"

Provoked Ji Lingruo Ji Xueruo immediately retorted, "How could that be?! Senior Brother is completely infatuated with me, okay!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, her heart started pounding. She suddenly remembered something her senior brother had said in a bedtime story, "Childhood sweethearts can never compete with those who fall from the sky."

She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. When will our childhood sweetheart be able to stand up again?!

Upon Ji Xueruo smiled disdainfully. Unwilling to linger on the topic of her and You Su, she cleverly shifted the blame elsewhere:

"If you ask me, he's completely infatuated with that Yu Die Saintess at Jade Ring Pool, spending most of the night fooling around with her."

Ji Lingruo's pretty eyes widened instantly. "What?! You mean that the Jade Yu Die, played by Hidden Water, had something going on with my senior brother?"

"I don't know if there's anything wrong with him, since I can't keep an eye on him all the time. If you're really curious, you can ask him yourself. All I know is that he and Yu Die have a good relationship; they flew down from the sky together in the middle of the night."

She did not recount the time she also lay in You Su's arms and shared a deep kiss with him amidst the glow of thousands of Sky Lantern.

"By the way, the maids who have always served Jade Ring Pool are like our own sisters. They were very reluctant to part with your senior brother before he left, and they even made a promise to meet him again someday."

Seeing that her plan had worked, Ji Xueruo continued to deliver the finishing blow. However, she believed she still had a conscience and hadn't told a single lie. After all, it was true that You Su carried the Saintess away, and it was also true that she and Yu Meng Yu Long made a promise to smile at each other when they met again...

Ji Lingruo, gritting her teeth. She felt that there were bad women everywhere, and it was too dangerous for her senior brother to be out there alone!

"Sister."

Ji Lingruo suddenly calmed down and called out softly.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xueruo asked, puzzled.

"You didn't intentionally let the Yu Die possess you so that your senior brother could deal with her personally, did you?"

The girl asked hesitantly. In her opinion, since her clever older sister had seen through Yu Die's conspiracy, she shouldn't have been so easily possessed by her.

???

Ji Xueruo looked puzzled, amazed by her sister's peculiar thought process.

Why would I take such a risk if I had nothing better to do?

"Jealous, huh?" Ji Lingruo said matter-of-factly.

Ji Xueruo swore. "Why would I be so jealous as to treat Yu Die like this?! I really couldn't withstand her illusion!"

"You weren't jealous? Then how come you remember so clearly which woman your senior brother was interacting with?" Ji Xueruo stroked her delicate chin, her puzzled look quite adorable.

"I... I was keeping an eye out for you! I'm his sister-in-law, of course I have to keep an eye on things for you! If you don't want to know, then I won't say anything!" Ji Xueruo with a disappointed expression.

"There's actually a master here?!"

Ji Lingruo quickly leaned over the tea table, pressing her pert breasts into a crease. She tightly grasped Ji Xueruo's slender, white hand and pleaded:

"Sister, Lingruo knows you best! Please tell me quickly so I can be wary of them! Senior Brother is blind and can't distinguish between their good and evil!"

Ji Xueruo snorted coldly, it was unclear whether she was snorting at this silly sister or at the ignorant and naive You Su that this silly sister was talking about.

She pursed her lips, and finally spoke:

"Don't you know? Your senior brother is already a highly sought-after young man on Mount Shen, with countless female cultivators eagerly awaiting his arrival. But that's not the most dangerous part..."

What is the most dangerous thing?

"Did you know that Lotus Sword Venerable has only one disciple, the Wangshu Fairy, who is considered the number one Goddess of the Xuanxiao Sect? Legend has it that she always wears a mask, is aloof and peerless, and has lived alone on Lotus Peak for decades. What do you think would happen to such a lonely person if she ever had a close junior brother...?"

These two sisters, who were originally at odds and in a tense atmosphere, became united in their hatred of the common enemy after they encountered a common foe. The way they put their arms around each other's shoulders made them look like a pair of close sisters who could talk about anything.

According to Ji Xueruo's description, You Su's situation was already 'precarious'. Ji Lingruo originally planned to stay with her sister at the port for five days until the Divine Ark set sail again, but Ji Xueruo urged her to leave because the situation was urgent.

Standing on the shore of parting, the two sisters, who shared the same beautiful face, embraced each other tightly before returning to their respective paths.

One of them will become the third True Disciple of the Lotus Sword Venerable, while the other will return to Japan to continue her serpent clan's great cause.

One will spend every day with that man, while the other will keep her promise and never see him again.

Ji Xueruo watched her younger sister's departing figure, only endless sorrow remained in her heart. This reunion of the sisters ended far more simply than she had imagined. Her sister's unpredictable behavior, sometimes clever and sometimes foolish, made her feel unbearable and even more guilty.

She lacked the ability and the right to confront her own feelings, which led her to choose to run away from her sister.

But perhaps leaving the problem to time is their best option right now.

Ji Lingruo walked on the road to the sacred mountain, her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

In Ji Lingruo's view, her sister had indeed concealed her feelings for You Su very well. But if she truly didn't like him, why would she go to such lengths to alter an insignificant ending?

Even her sister, who is so intelligent that she looks up to her, can be foolish enough to forget certain details when it comes to relationships.

She sighed softly. If she could, she would certainly want to have her senior brother all to herself, but she also didn't want to see her sister dedicate everything to the snake clan in solitude, giving up all her own happiness.

She argued with her sister, but only wanted an explanation; she never intended to truly sever ties. She could see her sister's struggle, which is why she pretended not to understand and reconciled with her.

She wanted to be happy, and she wanted her sister to be happy too.

"Sister, there doesn't have to be a loser between Qingmei and Tianjiang. We can share our senior brother."

Ji Lingruo shook her head, ruthlessly kicking away the pebbles at her feet, and muttered resentfully:

"How could I possibly say something like that... Senior brother, if you want to be greedy, you have to show off your skills. I'm not helping you! Humph!"
