Ch. 53 - The Strange Third Senior Sister

Faced with three system choices, Su Yan picked the third one right away.

“Not my problem!”

Trouble? No thanks. He wasn’t about to get dragged into drama.

Besides…

“That girl’s outfit… pretty sure she’s from the Hehuan Sect.”

He knew about that sect—and with his luck, it was best to keep his head down and walk away.

[Task complete. Reward: Spiritual Power +1]

The system message calmed him.

“Nice. Crisis avoided.”

Hehuan girls loved teasing. Not dangerous, but super annoying.

“Good enough.”

As he walked away, he felt some spiritual energy—probably a fight. But it wasn’t his business. He had one goal: find his Senior Sister.

“Her family’s kinda rich, if I remember right.”

After circling the city a bit, he found it easily—a big, fancy mansion.

“I’m from Yi Xian Sect, Tian Shui Peak. I came to see Senior Sister Ling.”

He told the gatekeeper. Hearing where he came from, the servant quickly led him into a guest room.

“Please wait. I’ll call the young lady.”

“Alright.”

He sat down, drinking tea while he waited.

He figured she’d rush out once she heard he was here. But after several cups, she still didn’t come.

“What’s going on?”

He frowned.

The little fox tried the tea and coughed.

“Chirp chirp chirp.”

So bitter!

Su Yan laughed and patted its head.

“Greedy thing—always trying everything.”

While petting the fox, he started getting uneasy. He used his divine sense to check on her.

He found her. Third Senior Sister. Early twenties. So pretty—long black hair, soft skin, gentle face.

But now, she looked really sad. She was deep in thought and didn’t even notice his energy scan.

What was wrong?

He felt nervous and curious.

Then, an older woman walked in and spoke to her.

“Ling Ling, someone from your sect is here. A handsome Junior Brother. Aren’t you going to see him?”

“I don’t want to.”

“Why not?”

“You wouldn’t understand…”

Ling Ling’s lips tightened. Her face showed worry—like she was hiding something.

Su Yan blinked.

She’s avoiding me? Why?

Last time they talked, things were fine. They laughed and chatted.

Something’s weird—really weird.

He was still thinking when the system popped up again.

[Option 1: Confront her—why’s she dodging you? (Reward: Random Skill Draw)]

[Option 2: Meet her, gently ask if you ticked her off—dig for truth. (Reward: Water Spirit Pill)]

[Option 3: Act like nothing’s up, state your mission, take her back. (Reward: Mid-Grade Artifact, Black Flame Spear)]

First two rewards—juicy. Skill draw? Yes, please. Water Spirit Pill? Pricey. But both meant probing—could be dicey.

“No risk, no gain.”

Mulling, he picked two. Confronting is too harsh—soft touch is better.

…

Ling Ling was a mess. She thought hiding at home would fix everything—but her Junior Brother still found her. Now what?

She worked so hard to get into Yi Xian Sect, dreaming of becoming an immortal. But maybe she aimed too high.

“The first time I saw him… he was so handsome!”

Su Yan looked so pure and kind. She fell for him fast, followed him everywhere, dreaming of becoming his wife.

At first, things were great. They spent time together every day. She was happy.

Then one day…

“Huh? These memories… what are they?”

While she was meditating, strange images filled her head. After thinking about them, she realized—they were memories of the future.

They showed real things—big events, things happening in the sect. Everything matched.

Most people would use that kind of power to get rich or become strong. She wanted to do the same—until she saw one memory.

“He got married… not to me. And after that, he started flirting with our Master too…”

She saw him doing awful things. Was everything fake? Was he just a smooth liar?

“No… that can’t be true!”

She panicked and ran home, trying to forget everything.

But she still remembered his words.

“Senior Sister, don’t be shy—married or not, we can still be close!”

“I miss you. Stay with me, alright?”

His flirty voice rang in her head. Her hands clenched into fists, nails digging into her palms. She shook with anger.

Was her crush really a bad person in a beautiful body?

She breathed hard. Her eyes turned red from frustration.

But…

“Can I really just forget him forever?”

She felt torn. He was her first love—the first person her heart wanted. Letting go was hard.

If she could, she wouldn’t be hiding like this.

While lost in her thoughts, a gentle voice called out.

“Senior Sister…”

It was soft, careful. Like a little deer. She jumped in surprise.

She turned—and there he was.

Why is he here?

For a second, she almost smiled… but then that memory came back.

Su Yan, smiling sweetly… hitting on the other Senior Sisters… and even grabbing their Master.

Her body froze. She couldn’t move.
