They are really not NPCs, please stop it, lady.

Whether it's her looks, temperament, or talent, she knows how much she can make people's hearts flutter.

This is not her boasting, but a clear understanding of herself.

However, such an advantage is of no use to Gu Nian.

She had been observing Gu Nian from beginning to end.

Su Feixuan could clearly notice that although her brother-in-law looked very flustered, his expression was actually calm.

He was flustered not because he was moved, but because he didn't want to have such intimate contact with her, especially in front of his wife.

He was only wary and resistant to himself, and no matter what he did or said, it couldn't touch him.

In other words, he has no interest in himself?

But, before, I was always the most popular person wherever I went!

No matter who it is, even the top geniuses and even the top strong men, they cannot resist my charm, and they will come to please me and pursue me!

Why isn’t my brother-in-law moved at all?

This perfect goddess experienced for the first time in her life the feeling of not being respected by others.

The gap brought by Gu Nian's calmness made her feel a little uncomfortable, and there were some difficult-to-speak emotions and thoughts in her heart.

Why is my brother-in-law not interested in me?

I just don't believe it. Is it really possible that he won't be attracted by me?

Su Feixuan, who almost never had her own thoughts and desires, didn't know that this was called self-awakening!

After leaving her sister, Su Feixuan went straight back to the Su family.

However, before she could sit down and rest for a while, her mother came to the door.

"How was your trip to the Heavenly Sword? Was it going well?"

Su Yun asked anxiously…speaking with concern.

What should I say?

Should I tell my mother that I didn’t get the Heavenly Sword?

Should I tell my mother that not only was I defeated by my sister, but I was also conquered by her?

If that's the case, my mother will definitely be disappointed, right?

Not only for the result, but also for myself.

She didn't want to see her mother feel lost, so after hesitating for a moment, she chose to hide the truth.

Su Feixuan showed her mother a perfect smile that seemed to be wearing a mask. She did not deny or confirm, but just said ambiguously,

"Don't worry, mother. This time it went smoothly. I have found a way to defeat my cousin."

This was indeed not a lie. Although she did not get the Heavenly Sword, she knew how to pry away her brother-in-law, so that she could truly defeat her cousin.

So, I didn't lie to my mother, did I?

After Xiao Yun left contentedly, Su Feixuan fell into confusion.

Here it comes again... When facing my mother, the thought of wanting to satisfy her comes up again.

I have always been like this before, always living for my mother and for others.

Even the idea of ​​teasing her brother-in-law and wanting to defeat her sister was just to satisfy her mother.

However, after being ignored by my brother-in-law, the idea of ​​wanting to make him fall in love with me was my own.

Was I living for myself at that time?

So messy and annoying!

What is living for others and what is living for yourself?

What should I do?

I can’t tell the difference, I really can’t tell the difference!

Ye Cangxue slowly opened her eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable under the sunlight, but her mind recalled the scene when she was unconscious.

To be precise, she was not just in a coma before. When she was unconscious, her consciousness seemed to be connected with the Heavenly Sword, or in other words, she had a brief communication with the Heavenly Sword.

And the result of this communication...is actually not very ideal.

Looking at the dull Heavenly Sword placed aside like an ordinary sword, Ye Cangxue pulled out a slightly bitter smile.

The relationship between her and Tianjian is a little subtle now. She has acknowledged him as her master, but has not yet completely accepted him.

Although she was recognized, she could clearly feel that she was not recognized as the Sword Master by Tianjian.

As for why?

Ye Cangxue placed her jade hand on her heart, pursed her lips, and had a complicated expression.

Because her sword heart is flawed, it is not pure and flawless!

How can a swordsman, if his sword heart is flawed, practice swordsmanship well?

Even this flaw has affected her breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm!

If one wants to use the sword to open the gate of heaven, one must have an extremely pure heart, but Ye Cangxue at the moment clearly does not meet this standard.

It's not that there is no way to break through just because there is a flaw in the sword's heart. In fact, Ye Cangxue can break through at any time. However, breaking through so rashly will only make her trapped in the Golden Elixir stage for the rest of her life, and she will never be able to make any progress again.

No matter how powerful the Jindan realm is, it is still just the Jindan realm. Even if it can cross the border to fight the Yuanying realm, it is just a Jindan realm.

This blocked road ahead is definitely not what Ye Cangxue wants!

So, before breaking through, do I need to repair my sword heart?

I never thought that I would encounter such a problem.

Ye Cangxue shook his head and sighed, feeling an uncontrollable sense of frustration welling up in his heart.

One step, just one step away!

Only one step away and he would be able to become the master of the Heavenly Sword and then break through to the Golden Core stage!

Why did it become like this!

At this moment.

Squeak...

The door suddenly opened, Gu Nian pushed it open and walked in, going straight to Ye Cangxue's bed.

Sitting on the bed, Gu Nian looked at Ye Cangxue who had woken up with joy and asked with concern,

"Sister Ye finally woke up. If you didn't wake up, I would have asked my wife to come and see you."

"How do you feel now? Are you still feeling unwell? How is your previous injury recovering?"

Gu Nian's concern was genuine, and Ye Cangxue could feel the care and warmth that came from the heart and made him happy.

But the more Gu Nian did this, the more uncomfortable Ye Cangxue felt.

My younger brother still treats me the same way as before, but I still can't become the master of the Heavenly Sword. I feel ashamed of my younger brother's expectations and trust!

And...I have never hidden the kindness of my younger brother from myself, but I have always been hiding my biggest secret.

Now this secret has caused a bottleneck in my cultivation. What should I do?

Do I...really want to tell him?

With his lips slightly opened, facing Gu Nian's concern, Su Qingge was hesitant to speak, not knowing how to tell Gu Nian.

She could feel the warmth from Gu Nian, which made her intoxicated, but the more so, the more conflicted she became.

"Sister Ye, do you have something to tell me but can't say it?"

Gu Nian understood Ye Cangxue's thoughts. He tucked the quilt for Ye Cangxue and said with a smile,

"It's okay, I understand. If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. I will definitely not have any opinions about Sister Ye because of this."

"Compared to those secrets, I hope Sister Ye can be happy."

"So, Sister Ye, take good care of your injuries and don't worry too much."

Listening to Gu Nian's words, the warmth from her younger brother made her eyes slightly red.

Really, since my little brother is so understanding and tolerant of me, what else do I have to hide?

Do you really have to wait until something happens to my younger brother because I can’t become stronger and can’t protect him because of this knot in my heart, and then regret hiding it today?

My younger brother even told me about his bad life in the past, so what else do I have to hide?

Taking a deep breath, Ye Cangxue finally made up his mind and mustered up the courage to reveal his inner demons to Gu Nian.

"I'm sorry, little brother. I didn't become the master of the Heavenly Sword, nor did I achieve a breakthrough... This is all because my sword heart still has flaws."

"Actually, I myself know why my swordsmanship is not perfect."

Revealing a bitter smile, Ye Cangxue tightly grasped Gu Nian's hand, as if this could give him courage.

"Actually... I am an abandoned orphan..."

At this moment, she finally told her favorite and closest brother about the cracks that she had buried deep in her heart.

The Sword Fairy is now dazzling, powerful, and admired by countless people.

But in fact, she was abandoned by her parents when she was born.

Until now, the whereabouts of her biological parents remain a mystery.

Ye Cangxue had no idea who his biological parents were, let alone finding them.

"I don't have any memory of my parents. All they left me is this ironic half jade pendant."

Taking out the half jade pendant that he had been wearing, Ye Cangxue's expression became more bitter, and that bitter smile looked more like crying than laughing.

Later, when she grew up and made a name for herself, she was once again abandoned by the sect she regarded as her family.

In the entire sect, from the sect master and elders to the disciples and servants, no one stood up, and no one dared to say a word for her.

Faced with Dongjun's power, the entire sect offered her up without saying a word.

This is even worse than abandonment!

Even though she later met Gu Nian and was healed by him, this was still an unhealable trauma.

Leaning in Gu Nian's arms, Ye Cangxue bit her lips, her eyes slightly red. The Snow Fairy who always looked cold and aloof now looked extremely sad and fragile.

As if she was afraid that Gu Nian might misunderstand, she raised her head, gently rubbed Gu Nian's face, and explained in a low voice,

"But this matter has nothing to do with you, little brother. It's not your fault. On the contrary, I should even thank you."

"Brother, I'm lucky to have you. If it weren't for you... I'm afraid I would have already sunk into the abyss..."

Rather than being the culprit who robbed him, in Ye Cangxue's view, his younger brother was actually the one who saved him.

As for the fact that Dongjun had snatched me away...

Ye Cangxue was actually very clear that Dongjun's arrival was just a prelude.

Compared to this, when she faced Gu Nian's tenderness later, she was actually very glad that she was chosen by Dongjun, so that she could meet her younger brother.

"Brother, meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life."

Putting his arm around Gu Nian's waist, Ye Cangxue rested his head on Gu Nian's chest and spoke softly.

Listening to Ye Cangxue's words and looking at Ye Cangxue's appearance, Gu Nian's expression became more gentle.

My own iceberg sister actually also needs others' care.

And then, Gu Nian heard Ye Cangxue whisper,

"Can I...really keep going?"

She was somewhat confused about her future.

This sword fairy began to doubt herself!

Even though Gu Nian didn't know as much about cultivation as his wife, he could still judge Ye Cangxue's current condition.

When a cultivator begins to doubt his own path, or even himself, it is no longer a trivial matter that prevents further progress.

If she's not careful, she might go insane or even die!
