Ten Miles of Flowers

Chapter 336 Comparison of hearts
Xi Jili regretted coming to find Jiang Lisheng. He turned around and walked away, stumbling and almost falling.

Jiang Lisheng watched him leave and felt very uncomfortable. She stood there for a while, then turned around and went to find Chu Bitumen.

Chu Bitumen was naturally most concerned about his disciple's condition. Ever since he was found, he had always kept his attention on him, so he naturally knew what he had said to Jiang Lisheng.

He sat quietly at the table and sighed deeply.

He always knew that he liked Jiang Lisheng. At a young age, she begged him to find someone and marry her in the future. He worked hard to cultivate, partly because he wanted to protect her in the future. Because he knew clearly that since the master had repeatedly refused, he had also tried to persuade him, but it was useless. He thought that he was still young and there was still a lot of time. Jiang Lisheng, that little girl, was heartless and was raised by the master himself. She had developed the same temperament as the master and would probably stay away from love affairs. But he really didn't expect that after a trip to Kunlun, this little girl would be betrothed by Wei Qinglan so early in a short time.

This was something he had not expected.

Seeing Jiang Lisheng coming, she frowned helplessly. Chu Bitumen didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just asked: "Why would the Sect Master agree to Wei Qinglan? As far as I know, the Sect Master is not someone who agrees so easily. Did Wei Qinglan do something that forced the Sect Master to agree?"

Jiang Lisheng thought, you guessed it right, her master never agreed at all, it was Senior Brother Wei who executed first and reported later, no, when reporting was useless he executed himself.

She nodded and shook her head, "Yes and no, anyway, I have already promised Senior Brother Wei, so my master will naturally agree to it too."

Chu Bitumen looked at her and said, "Do you really like Wei Qinglan? In fact, there is nothing wrong with your junior brother. He has devoted himself to you for many years. You and Wei Qinglan, not to mention the huge difference in cultivation, have only spent too little time together. Isn't it too frivolous for you to make this decision?"

Jiang Lisheng shook his head, "Not easily."

She was so angry at him at the time and cried her eyes out. How could it be easy?
She said to Chu Bitumen, "Uncle Chu, although I have been with Senior Brother Wei for a short time, we have experienced a lot. It can be said that in the past few months, I have experienced life and death that I have not experienced in the past 18 years. We are not playing around."

Chu Bitumen sighed, "Your junior brother has only been stubborn about two things since he was a child, one is you, and the other is his cultivation. He likes you from the bottom of his heart, and has always wanted to surpass Wei Qinglan and Ye Xingci in terms of cultivation. He has this ambition. He wants us in Qingxu to send one person to avoid being laughed at. He was actually very angry because you have been laughed at for many years, so he was holding back and trying to improve his cultivation, thinking that one day, in the big competition, he would defeat them and tell everyone that he likes you and that you are no worse than others."

Jiang Lisheng rubbed his brows and said, "I don't really care what people say."

"But he cares." Chu Bitumen said, "It's just that we didn't expect that before he grew up, you would meet Wei Qinglan. No, meeting him was not the reason, but he actually attacked you and got the Sect Master to agree."

He sighed, "Come to think of it, this matter and his idea have reached the same goal. It's just that it's not him. Kunlun's most gifted disciple, the young genius Wei Qinglan, likes you, and we Qingxu are naturally proud. But your junior brother...where will he go in the future? How will he deal with it! I'm really afraid that he can't let you go and it will affect his Tao heart..." Jiang Lisheng was also worried about this. After all, she grew up with him, and she didn't want him to affect her cultivation, otherwise she wouldn't have come to Chu Bitumen, "Uncle Chu, please persuade him again. I have never had any other thoughts about my junior brother. Otherwise, when you asked my master to make an engagement twice, I would have agreed long ago. If I agreed and pestered him, my master would have agreed, and it wouldn't have come to this point."

Chu Bitumen nodded, "I've said what I should have said. I'll try to persuade him again later!"

He sighed, "Li Sheng, your uncle Li and I, together, only have him as our disciple. As the saying goes, the one who tied the bell must untie it. I hope you can give him some time and patience to help him through this difficult time. Even though the other brothers have been avoiding you for years, he is willing to accompany you and help you test the medicine. For the sake of his love for you, don't take it seriously and ignore him anymore."

Jiang Lisheng was silent.

Over the years, she thought that her feelings towards Xi Jili were like those of a senior sister for a junior brother. She thought he was cute and didn't bully him. If you say that she took good care of him, that's not the case. It was the junior brother who took care of her more. Compared with Qingxu's other brothers and sisters, he was naturally more special to her and was treated more favorably.

After learning about his thoughts, she didn't try to stay away from him. She just wanted to find an opportunity to make him understand completely, so that he could get over it and let it go. Of course, this would take a process, and she would try to be gentle so as not to hurt his feelings and affect his Taoism.

In the past, she had done a good job, and had clearly refused when they were in Taiyi, and he didn't seem to be unable to accept it at that time. But now, perhaps because Wei Qinglan said it too suddenly, he couldn't accept it.

She naturally cooperated with the decision made by Wei Qinglan, so she couldn't be too gentle to Xi Jili anymore.

People always experience setbacks when they live in this world. She couldn't make herself understand better, so he could only think it through on his own. After all, the road is difficult, the immortal road is full of ups and downs, and there are countless thresholds and thunder tribulations in the future. Compared with this little emotional injury, it seems nothing. Let him wade through it!
She couldn't even manage herself, so how could she take care of others, even if that person was her junior brother who grew up with her.

After thinking it through, she let out a long breath and said to Chu Bitumen seriously, "Uncle Chu, you should know that if you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. I can't promise you to be more patient with him, nor can I give him time, let alone help him. If this is his hurdle, he can only get through it by himself. What I can do is to try my best to persuade him when he comes to me again. If he really doesn't listen, I won't be too polite to him. This is good for me and for him. Since I promised Brother Wei, I don't want Brother Wei to be angry and sad because of my repeated involvement with others. After all, there is no one around him who makes me annoyed or difficult to deal with. Putting myself in his shoes, I will naturally treat him the same way."

Chu Bitumen paused for a moment, then nodded, "What you said makes sense. It's my uncle who is confused. I really shouldn't ask you to do this."

Jiang Lisheng spent a lot of time in Yaofeng since he was a child, and he almost grew up in front of Chu Bitumen, so he came here specially because he didn't want his junior brother to be stubborn and end up in trouble in the future. She shook her head, "Don't blame Uncle Master, you are too concerned."
