Chapter 204 My Sister Doesn't Want Me Anymore

The next day.

When Luo Qingfeng woke up, he found that there was no one in the blanket next to him.

It was drizzling outside the window; it seemed like a light rain was falling.

The sound of Xiao Tao and Xiao Mei talking in hushed tones could be heard coming from the outer hall.

Luo Qingfeng got up, dressed, and went to open the window.

The sky outside the window was gray and drizzling, with fine rain falling like an endless curtain over the entire city, bringing an even deeper chill.

Hearing the noise, Xiao Tao and Xiao Mei whispered from outside the door, "Young Master, Miss Ye, would you like us to serve you?"

Luo Qingfeng was slightly taken aback. He went over, opened the door, and asked, "Isn't Sister Nightingale outside?"

The two maids were stunned for a moment, glanced into the room, and shook their heads together.

Xiao Tao asked in confusion, "Isn't Miss Ye in her room?"

Luo Qingfeng frowned slightly, walked out of the room, searched the front and back yards but couldn't find it, and then walked to the door of Aya's room.

Xiao Tao walked over and whispered, "Miss Aya is still in her room. She just came out, seemingly about to come and see you, young master, and then went back in."

Just as Luo Qingfeng was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, the door opened.

Aya appeared in the doorway, wearing a patched black dress, holding a letter in her hand. She handed it to him, blinked her dark eyes, and looked somewhat dazed.

"Who gave it to you?"

Luo Qingfeng was slightly taken aback when he saw the letter in her hand, and then reached out and took it.

The envelope was blank, with no words on it.

Aya stretched out a slender finger and pointed to the butterfly hair clip in her hair.

This was a gift from the nightingale to her.

Whenever she points to this hair clip, it means "older sister".

A sudden sense of foreboding washed over Luo Qingfeng. He quickly opened the envelope, took out the letter inside, and unfolded it to read.

His face suddenly turned ugly.

After reading the entire letter, he froze on the spot, looking incredulous.

Aya grew a little anxious, stretched out her finger, and poked his chest, trying to get him to tell her the contents of the letter.

Luo Qingfeng stood there for a while, then suddenly remembered something and quickly put away his letter: "Aya, you stay here and wait patiently for me to come back!"

After saying that, he immediately rushed out the door.

Xiao Mei quickly grabbed the oil-paper umbrella outside the door and called from behind, "Young master! Umbrella! Umbrella!"

However, Luo Qingfeng had already disappeared outside the gate.

Braving the cold rain, I ran all the way.

He quickly entered the North Courtyard and arrived at the Library.

The library door was open, but Granny Ning was not sitting there, and there were no oil lamps, candles, or books on the table.

Luo Qingfeng's heart sank, and he immediately rushed upstairs.

Outside the sixth-floor window, a figure dressed in a snow-white dress sat quietly reading a book, her ample bosom proudly displayed on the table in front of her.

When Luo Qingfeng saw the things on the table, he felt a sense of relief, but when he looked closely at the figure, his heart tightened again.

He paused at the top of the stairs, then walked over.

"You're too late."

A girl named Bai Ling looked up at him, a hint of sympathy appearing on her beautiful face: "She and Granny Ning left before dawn, and your Nightingale girl went with them."

Luo Qingfeng stood frozen in place, motionless.

Bai Ling sighed softly and said, "I thought she would have told you in advance, or at least left you a letter to explain."

Luo Qingfeng's mind was buzzing; at this moment, it seemed he couldn't hear anything.

Bai Ling looked at him with pity and said, "She only left you one sentence: 'To advance to the Human Venerable level, come to Snow God City.'"

Luo Qingfeng raised his head and looked at her.

Bai Ling looked completely innocent: "It has nothing to do with me. I was just a messenger. Besides, your Nightingale should have left you a message, right? Her departure wasn't forced by your Senior Bai. The person you should hate isn't her."

She sighed and said, "As far as I know, humans cannot enter Snow God City unless they advance to the Human Venerable realm."

After a long silence, Luo Qingfeng finally spoke, "What else did she say?"

Bai Ling shrugged and said, "No, you know she's never been one to talk much. Actually... you had a chance to keep her, but you didn't seize it."

Luo Qingfeng suddenly recalled the image of that woman hesitant to speak when he left yesterday.

Bai Ling sighed again, "You didn't mention a single one of the three requests she promised you. To be honest, that surprised me a bit. Are you disdainful?"

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment.

"You'll be in charge of the library for now. It's okay if you don't come; I'll keep an eye on it for you."

After Bai Ling finished speaking, she got up and left.

As she reached the top of the stairs, she suddenly turned back and said, "Oh, by the way, before they left, Grandma Ning secretly asked me to pass on a message to you. Grandma Ning said she likes you."

Luo Qingfeng: "???"

Bai Ling smiled and said, "As for who 'she' is, I don't know either. You can figure it out yourself. But I think it should be Granny Ning."

After saying that, she pursed her lips and went downstairs.

Luo Qingfeng stood there for a long time before walking to the window, sitting down in the spot where the woman often sat, and then taking out the letter that Aya had given him.

"Luo Qingfeng, I'm leaving..."

"Because of me, Grandma died; because of me, our family has been destroyed time and time again. I don't want anything to happen to you and Aya again..."

"I have different blood flowing through my veins, I can feel it, so I want to find its source..."

"Take good care of Aya, take good care of your sister-in-law, love her as you love me. When it rains and thunders, she'll be scared, so you can sleep with her. Of course, you can also sleep with her when it's not raining or thundering, I allow it, and Grandma allows it too. But please don't bully her like you bully me, the little girl is silly, she wouldn't know how to learn all those strange moves..."

"Don't be sad. If you're sad, I'll be sad too. I'm not leaving forever; I'm just leaving temporarily. You are my family; how could I leave you? I just need to go out for a while, and I don't know how long."

"Of course, you can bring A-Ya to see me."

"Senior Bai said you would definitely cultivate diligently and come to find me. Actually, I can tell that Senior Bai also hopes you will come to find her. You really like to peek at Senior Bai's chest, don't you? Senior Bai is so charming, I like her too. If you don't come soon, I'm going to fall for someone else..."

"Brother Feng, good brother, Big Brother Feng, you always like me to call you that when you bully me, right? I like calling you that too. When you come to find me, I'll call you that every day, okay? And then I'll get everyone else to call you that too, okay? As for who the others are, I bet you've already figured it out, hmph! You big pervert!"

"Cultivate diligently, and remember to think of me..."

The light rain outside the window had stopped sometime ago.

Luo Qingfeng sat by the window, looking at the letter in his hand over and over again until evening.

When he left the library, it was already dark outside.

Zhang Cuicui was waiting for him under the big tree opposite. When she saw him come out, she quickly walked over, frowning, and asked, "Senior Brother Luo, are you alright?"

Luo Qingfeng's face had returned to calm as he said, "It's nothing."

Zhang Cuicui sighed, not daring to mention what happened that night again, and simply said, "Senior Brother Luo, where are you staying now? The academy has assigned you a house, would you like to go and take a look? You can bring your family and move in right now."

Luo Qingfeng said, "No need, I have a place to stay."

He decided to buy a new house and live outside.

Living in the courtyard is indeed convenient, but both the higher-ups and the disciples know where he lives and may visit him at any time.

He didn't like this feeling, and Aya certainly didn't either.

Grandma is gone, Nightingale has left, but this family still exists.

He and Aya needed a house of their own.

"Oh, okay."

Zhang Cuicui didn't press the matter further and followed him towards the main gate. She then asked, "Where's Senior Sister Ye? I heard she's already allowed to come to the North Courtyard. Why didn't she report for duty today?"

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "She won't come again."

Zhang Cuicui was taken aback by his words: "Why? If she comes to the North Campus, can't she be with you? She..."

She suddenly noticed that his expression seemed a little off.

Luo Qingfeng said calmly, "She left Wangxing City and went to a very far place. I don't know when she will come back."

Zhang Cuicui opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something, but in the end she didn't dare to ask any more questions and just said, "Oh."

The two remained silent and went out the door.

Zhang Cuicui asked softly, "Senior Brother Luo, do you have a place to stay? If not, I..."

"have."

Luo Qingfeng said, "I bought another house."

Zhang Cuicui said "Oh," and then added, "Okay, that's good."

She didn't say anything more.

The two parted ways at the gate.

Watching Luo Qingfeng's figure gradually disappear into the distance, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

The distance between the two eventually grew further and further apart.

Her cultivation remained stagnant, while her opponent had already reached the tenth level of the Open Heaven Realm and was the most watched genius disciple in the academy.

"What right do I have? Senior Brother Luo would never stay at our house..."

A self-deprecating smile appeared on her face as she lowered her head and left.

Night fell quietly.

The winter night was especially cold.

When Luo Qingfeng returned to Ningguo Mansion, Dong Miaomiao was talking with Aya in the corridor.

Aya stood there in a daze, looking completely lost.

When she saw Luo Qingfeng return, her eyes immediately lit up, and her lips moved as if she wanted to speak, but she couldn't say anything.

Dong Miaomiao asked疑惑地问道, "Sir, where is your wife? Why didn't she come back with you?"

Aya was clearly on edge.

Luo Qingfeng walked up to her, gently patted her head, and said, "Your sister has gone out on a mission. It might take a while, but she's safe and will be back once the mission is complete."

Aya's dark eyes were fixed on his eyes. She pursed her lips and gestured with her hand.

Luo Qingfeng nodded and said, "I saw her in the courtyard today; she left this morning."

Aya seemed somewhat disbelieving, still looking at him.

Luo Qingfeng rubbed her head again and said, "Why would I lie to you? I'm not going to sell her off. Don't worry, she'll come back after she finishes her mission."

Dong Miaomiao, who was standing to the side, stared at him for a while without saying anything more.

"Have you got a meal yet?"

Luo Qingfeng asked softly.

Aya lowered her head slightly and did not answer.

Xiao Tao quickly said, "Young master, this servant will go to the kitchen to fetch the food."

Dong Miaomiao quickly said, "Get me one too!"

Xiao Tao agreed and led Xiao Mei out the door.

"Let's go inside, it's cold outside."

Luo Qingfeng reached out and took Aya's cold little hand, walking towards the house with an exceptionally natural movement and a particularly gentle tone.

Aya trembled, wanting to break free but not daring to, and two blushes immediately appeared on her cheeks.

Following behind, Dong Miaomiao immediately said, "Sir, men and women should not touch each other, especially brother-in-law and sister-in-law."

Luo Qingfeng ignored her, led Aya into the house, and then let go of her hand.

Aya immediately blushed and went into the room.

Dong Miaomiao then whispered, "Sir, what happened? Is your wife not coming back?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and asked, "Who told you that?"

Dong Miaomiao whispered, "I asked Xiaomei and Xiaotao, and they said that Master's wife left without saying goodbye this morning, and even Master didn't know. Master's wife even left a letter for Master. Master just came back and said those things, so that's my guess."

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then did not answer.

After a moment, he asked, "Butler Sun said there are other houses nearby, is that right?"

Dong Miaomiao quickly replied, "Yes, sir, do you want to buy it? I went to see it today. The house is the same size as the previous one, and it doesn't need any renovations. It's already furnished, so you can move in right away."

Luo Qingfeng asked, "Did you ask about the price? Can I pay with Xuanjin?"

He won first place in the new disciple competition and was rewarded with a considerable amount of Xuanjin (a type of in-game currency).

Dong Miaomiao said, "We can use Xuanjin. I'll ask again tomorrow and have Steward Sun send someone to clean it up. However, sir, I think it's fine for you and Sister Aya to stay here. Isn't there somewhere else nice? If you're worried about being disturbed, I'll immediately tell the other servants not to come here."

Luo Qingfeng glanced at the closed door next to him and said, "We need to have our own house."

Dong Miaomiao sighed and said nothing more.

Xiao Tao and Xiao Mei quickly brought out a sumptuous dinner.

After finishing her meal, Dong Miaomiao left reluctantly.

Xiao Tao and Xiao Mei also went into their own rooms.

Luo Qingfeng walked to Aya's room, knocked on the door, and went inside.

The room was pitch black.

Aya was sitting alone on the bed, hugging her knees, head down, motionless, lost in thought.

Luo Qingfeng's heart suddenly clenched. He paused, walked over, sat down by the bed, and reached out to stroke her head, saying, "Aya..."

The little girl looked up, her face covered in glistening tears.

She seemed to already know something.

She just likes to daydream, but she's not stupid.
