I Want to Be Good with You, Yet You Treat Me Like a Brother! Su Xiangxue's zither notes faltered, and she began coughing. Covering her mouth, she caught her breath before hurriedly asking Tang Ruowei, "Why do you say that, little Ruowei?"
Tang Ruowei propped up her chin and replied, "Think about it—if he really does come back to life like a withered tree in spring someday, then I'll have to call the person he finds Master's wife. This concerns my own interests, Sect Master Su."
Tang Ruowei clapped her hands. "That explains it. I was wondering why Master would say those things whenever he was with you. He simply sees you as one of his good brothers. When a good buddy goes out looking for women, another buddy helps keep watch at the door—it's perfectly normal between male friends."
Tang Ruowei offered Su Xiangxue some advice. "But I think that if this continues, Sect Master Su may only be stuck in unrequited love for the rest of her life."
"Exactly."
"Honestly, why is little Ruowei so concerned about your Master's love life?"
Bai Qiuran brought the other three back to a nearby town. Naturally, he had not stopped making Su Xiangxue angry along the way. Whenever that happened, the Hehuan Sect Master showed him no courtesy, swinging the Jade Zither in her hands straight at Bai Qiuran without mercy.
A rosy flush suddenly spread across Tang Ruowei's face. Her gaze wandered as she asked haltingly, "Sect Master Su, have you ever... ever harvested from a man?"
Su Xiangxue and Tang Ruowei stared at each other for several seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing together, leaving Zuo Yanfei beside them utterly baffled.
Tang Ruowei shook her head. "Besides, even if it's to repay a favor, you're being far too devoted.
