Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 137 Sister, I want to marry the same person as you!

"Actually... my master doesn't acknowledge me as her master, she's just always called me that!"

Jiang Yi scratched his head sheepishly, like a shy young boy.

"I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu became even more certain of her guess.

If it weren't for blood ties, she couldn't think of any reason why Yu Lai, given her personality, would take special care of this little guy.

"???"

A question mark appeared on Jiang Yi's forehead. What do you understand?

Isn't this a common plot in novels, where the protagonist encounters a powerful but eccentric master when he is a child?

In contrast to him, Leng Yaozhu was filled with mixed emotions.

Yu Lai, so many years have passed, have you finally let go?
She gazed at Jiang Yi before her, her vision blurring as the image of Leng Yulai from her memory gradually merged with that of the boy.

Compared to her reserved attitude towards relationships, Leng Yulai was the more proactive one.

Yu Lai's love for Yun Ming was far more passionate and pure than Yun Ming's.

Unexpectedly, decades later, Yu Lai has found someone she can entrust her life to again.

A sense of relief welled up in Leng Yaozhu's heart, and she was happy for her sister, but this was followed by a feeling of confusion about herself.

Even Yu Lai has come out of this, so why should I continue to be so stubborn?

Leng Yaozhu felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

He waited patiently for decades, but never received even a sliver of favor from that person.

"I wonder what kind of person could make Yu Lai change her mind..."

What welled up in my heart was a strong sense of curiosity, and a faint trace of envy.

Yu Lai is the kind of girl who goes all the way down a path.

For someone to make her fall for another man, he must be an exceptionally talented young man...

She has remained single all these years, not entirely because of her feelings for Yun Ming, but more because she has never met anyone else who could make her fall in love.

Her criteria for choosing a partner are very different now compared to when she was young.

But the two sisters have always had similar tastes. If she meets that person, maybe... she can let go?

Leng Yaozhu's pretty face flushed slightly as she suddenly recalled a joke she had made with her younger sister when they were children.

At that time, the two sisters were inseparable.

Yu Lai was cold-hearted, while she was more gentle. In the family, she always protected Yu Lai behind her back, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

On that star-studded night, the two sisters sat on the roof, gazing at the starry sky and dreaming about the future.

"Sister, we must never, ever be apart!"

"Silly sister, aren't you going to get married in the future?"

"Hehe, then my sister and I can just marry the same person... Ouch, sister, why did you hit me?"

"Silly girl, can a husband be shared?"

"Why not? If it's my older sister, Yu Lai is willing..."

But the promise made in childhood remained on that night. Later, the two sisters turned against each other because of a man.

"You brat! You've found a lover and forgotten your sister after all..."

Leng Yaozhu thought to herself with a hint of resentment, but what she missed most was her innocent and carefree younger sister from that time.

"Aunt Leng?"

Jiang Yi waved his hand in front of Leng Yaozhu's face, muttering to himself.

He's sighing and chuckling; could he be caught up in some kind of nostalgia trip?

"I'm fine!"

Leng Yaozhu snapped out of her daze, reached up to smooth the hair behind her ear, and looked at her "nephew" with gentle eyes.

"I was just thinking about you... about your master."

Leng Yaozhu quickly changed her mind after only saying half of what she had said.

Since Yu Lai hasn't acknowledged Jiang Yi, she must have some unspeakable reasons, so I shouldn't disrupt her plans.

It's enough that you know the relationship between the two of you!
Leng Yaozhu thought to herself, her gaze towards Jiang Yi becoming increasingly gentle, filled with affection.

My nephew is so cute.

"..."

Faced with Leng Yaozhu's increasingly affectionate gaze, Jiang Yi felt that things seemed to have taken a tiny, slightly off track.

What I'm trying to express is the bond between a teacher and student!

Jiang Yi felt somewhat helpless.

My dear older sister!

If I ever show up as your brother-in-law, wouldn't you be terrified? "Xiao Yi, has your master... ever mentioned Aunt Leng to you?"

Leng Yaozhu's eyes held a hint of expectation, her jade-like hands unconsciously clenching her sleeves, revealing a touch of shyness.

After decades, her only real family member is her younger sister.

She had always wanted to find an opportunity to clarify the misunderstanding from back then, but Leng Yulai ran away too fast, and she couldn't find her for decades.

"Have……"

Jiang Yi clicked his tongue, recalling Leng Yulai's slander of his older sister on the bed.

It's a tiny bit unfriendly!

"Don't worry about it... It's just a misunderstanding between your master and me, Aunt Leng won't mind!"

Seeing his hesitation, Leng Yaozhu sighed inwardly, but still looked at him expectantly.

"Master...she told me to stay away from you..."

Jiang Yi blinked and said hesitantly.

Leng Yulai's attitude, of course, had to be conveyed to Leng Yaozhu. The more distant the attitude, the more important his position as the middleman would become.

Sister Leng, you don't want to never see your sister again, right? Then you must make sure your brother-in-law is satisfied!
"Ugh……"

The answer was as expected, but Leng Yaozhu still couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Yu Lai, you still haven't forgiven your sister?
But my sister did it for you back then...

"and many more!"

Leng Yaozhu carefully considered Jiang Yi's words and suddenly realized something. Her formal meeting with Jiang Yi was just last week.

Doesn't this mean that Yu Lai might be in Shrek City right now?
Leng Yaozhu turned her head and suddenly looked out the window, where she could see the entire panorama of Shrek City.

The thought that her younger sister was somewhere in Shrek City instantly filled her calm heart with immense excitement.

"call--"

Leng Yaozhu turned to look at Jiang Yi, but in the end she just let out a soft sigh and didn't rush to ask any more questions.

She was afraid that her unauthorized actions would displease Yu Lai and cause her to distance herself from her again.

This might be my last chance to find my sister, so I can't act rashly.

As long as Jiang Yi stays by her side, Yu Lai won't leave.

"Aunt Leng, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

At this moment, Jiang Yi stood up and asked Leng Yaozhu.

The bait has been cast, so he doesn't need to worry about the rest. The more he says, the more mistakes he'll make. It's better to let Leng Yaozhu fill in the blanks herself.

"Okay. Don't tell your master about today's events... Consider it a favor from Aunt Leng."

Leng Yaozhu got up to see him off, while also making a grand promise to Jiang Yi.

"Aunt Leng will definitely support you, Yue'er!"

You raise an apprentice for a thousand days, only to use him for one!
"Thank you so much, Aunt Leng! I will definitely not let Yue'er down!"

Jiang Yi feigned excitement on his face, but secretly chuckled to himself.

Moon's Mom!

Your master has betrayed you!

After saying goodbye to Leng Yaozhu, Jiang Yi prepared to turn and leave.

"and many more!"

Leng Yaozhu suddenly called out to him again.

"Is there anything else? It's cold... ugh!"

Jiang Yi turned around, but before he could finish speaking, his mouth was silenced by two soft mounds.

Leng Yaozhu held him tightly in her arms, feeling the warmth of family and the scent of Leng Yulai on Jiang Yi.

That flavor seems somewhat similar to my sister's.

After a long while, Jiang Yicai was able to see the light of day again.

"call……"

Jiang Yi took two deep breaths of the fresh air outside. As expected of the older sister, she was more impressive than her younger sister.

I, Jiang, am willing to call you the third!
Leng Yaozhu waved to Jiang Yi with a satisfied expression and softly gave him some instructions.

"Go! Remember, no matter what happens in the future, the Spirit Pagoda will always be your home!"

"Okay! Goodbye, Aunt Leng!"

Jiang Yi nodded slightly, accepted this special farewell gift, and turned to leave.

Watching Jiang Yi's disappearing figure, Leng Yaozhu stood there, secretly making a vow in her heart.

"Yu Lai, this time I will definitely find you! No matter what it takes!"
