Sisters
Just then, a clear voice came from afar, carrying a hint of urgency and joy.
Nalan Chenfeng and saw a young girl running quickly from the courtyard gate.
The girl was about fourteen or fifteen years old, tall and slender, with fair and delicate skin, bearing a resemblance to Han Yue. She had eyebrows like willow branches, a straight nose, and cherry-red lips.
A long, silver-white dress perfectly accentuated the girl's slender waist and budding curves. Her hair, like Han Yue's, was also silver-white, giving her an air of cool elegance.
"Xue'er-- "
Upon seeing the person who arrived, Han Yue's eyes lit up, and she smiled faintly.
The girl walked quickly to Han Yue, hugged Han Yue tightly, buried her face in Han Yue's shoulder, and her voice was choked with sobs.
"Sister, you're finally home—I missed you so much."
Han Yue reached out and hugged her younger sister, her clear eyes glistening with tears, while a gentle smile remained on her lips.
"You little brat, you're so old and you're still crying, aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"
I didn't cry.
Han Xue raised her head, blinked hard to force back the tears welling up in her eyes, and a blush rose on her fair face.
My mother passed away early, and my father was busy with family affairs. Although he took care of her on a daily basis, he was not as attentive as my older sister.
Her older sister went to the Jia Nan Academy for her sake. Both sisters are mutated ice-attribute cultivators, but the Han Family does not have any cultivation techniques of this attribute above the Earth Tier.
In the blink of an eye, almost five years have passed.
"Xue'er, be mindful of the guests. You two sisters can catch up after we get home."
Seeing the two sisters reunite with such warmth, Han Tian couldn't help but smile.
Among the younger generation of the Han Family, the two sisters are the most talented, and the family has always lamented that the two girls are not boys.
Now that Yue'er has brought back Nalan Chenfeng, he is completely at ease.
The son-in-law of the Han Family can be considered half a Han Family, and with Nalan Chenfeng's talent, his future is something these two girls cannot compare to.
When the patriarch and the others see Nalan Chenfeng, they will probably be just as shocked as they were when they first met him in Canaan City.
A fifteen-year-old Three-Star Dou Wang, such a talented and promising genius, is willing to become the son-in-law of the Han Family; that is the Han Family's good fortune.
During the two months of travel, he witnessed Nalan Chenfeng break through to the first star again, which left him in awe.
Such talent is beyond description, even the term "monster" is insufficient to describe it.
"Guest--?"
Han Xue was stunned for a moment, then quickly let go of her sister. Her gaze swept over Han Tian and Han Su before landing on Nalan Chenfeng.
"Uncle, who is he? ----?"
Han Xue's clear eyes held a mixture of curiosity and scrutiny as she looked Nalan Chenfeng up and down, her voice as clear as a nightingale's song, tinged with a hint of confusion.
She had never seen this boy before, but he didn't seem to be much older than her.
"Little Xue, you should ask your sister about this."
Han Tian laughed and gestured to Han Yue with his eyes.
"Uncle--"
Han Yue's pretty face flushed slightly, and her delicate body trembled involuntarily.
After arriving at the Han Family, she realized that things couldn't be as peaceful as they were at the academy.
"Elder sister?"
Han Yue was even more confused. She turned to look at Han Yue and saw that her sister, who she remembered as cold as ice, had a shy expression on her face.
"That's probably impossible--"
Han Xue muttered to herself.
She knew her sister too well: she was aloof, had obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, and was naturally unapproachable.
This person was clearly around the same age as her, a few years younger than her sister, and his abilities didn't seem particularly impressive; her sister probably wouldn't have considered him.
"Alright, you'll know when you see your father."
Han Yue forced herself to calm down, smiled slightly, and responded softly, without directly answering Han Xue's question.
Han Xue blinked, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Han Yue and Nalan Chenfeng, a strange expression appearing on her fair face.
"Oh--"
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Han Xue deliberately dragged out her response, with a rising tone at the end, carrying a touch of playfulness.
Han Yue felt a little uncomfortable under Han Xue's strange gaze. The blush on her beautiful cheeks deepened, and she reached out and gently flicked her sister's forehead.
"You're getting more and more outrageous."
"Sister, I didn't say anything."
Han Xue rubbed her forehead, which had been flicked, her lips slightly pursed, but a hint of seriousness flashed in her clear eyes.
Regardless of who her sister likes, and whether that person matches her suspicions or not, she will still investigate them thoroughly.
"Hehe--"
Seeing the two sisters chatting happily, Nalan Chenfeng's lips curled into a slight smile.
But immediately afterward, the image of Nalan Yanran involuntarily appeared in Nalan's mind.
His relationship with Nalan Yanran was far less close than that with the sisters Han Yue and Han Xue. The relationship between siblings is different from that between sisters, and as they grew older, they inevitably became more estranged.
In addition, since his soul came from another world, they didn't have much in common, and he wasn't even interested in children's games.
But no matter what, the kinship flowing in one's blood is genuine.
"In ten months, Yanran will be fifteen. Who knows if the annulment of the engagement will happen as it did in the original world—"
"The Jia Ma Empire needs to make proper preparations before returning."
As his thoughts raced, Nalan Chenfeng's eyes flickered, revealing his next move.
As the older brother, he naturally hoped that his younger sister would be happy in the future, which was one of the reasons why he went to the Xiao Clan when he was young.
At the Nalan Family, he didn't offer Nalan Yanran much guidance; a rebellious person can't be changed with just a few words.
Many things can only be understood and learned through personal experience; no one is an exception.
From his perspective, the existence of the Three-Year Agreement was more beneficial than harmful to both Xiao Yan and his sister Nalan Yanran.
Regardless of the outcome, both of them need to grow and transform, which is a great motivation for their cultivation.
As her older brother, it was enough for him to make Nalan Yanran realize some of her mistakes, but he would never allow her to be defeated by Xiao Yan.
An engagement can be annulled, as long as the method is appropriate. As for any bets the two of them should make, he would never side with Xiao Yan.
If Xiao Yan were to take the Green Lotus Core Flame from the Jia Ma Empire, and with only Yao Chen's help, he would be doomed to defeat within three years without using a special technique like ghost possession.
Furthermore, upon returning to the Jia Ma Empire, Xiao must find a way to secretly obtain the Ancient Jade from the Xiao Clan family and hide it, so that he will have enough time in the Dou Qi Continent.
What are you thinking about?
Seeing Nalan Chenfeng Chenfeng at her and her sister with a deep and serious expression, Han Yue felt a bad premonition.
Could this wicked guy really be planning to make a move on Xue'er?
Thinking of this, Han Yue pursed her red lips.
When they were together at the academy, Nalan Chenfeng often told her about men's strange fetishes, so she knew the allure of the sisters being together.
Moreover, she always felt that Nalan Chenfeng's previous hints were intentional or unintentional, and that he had no good intentions.
