They all became female demons after being reborn.

Chapter 61 You really only care about yourself.

Bai Suying grabbed his arm urgently, "Isn't this a good idea? If you want to uphold justice, I can go down the mountain with you and do it! Then we'll come back and practice martial arts!"

"Senior sister, that's not how it's said."

Wu Cheng shook his head. "That's just self-deception. I feel bad when I see people who are living in misery, but I didn't have the power before, so when I saw these situations or encountered injustices, I could only get angry and curse a few times before walking away silently. Gradually, my heart started to harden."

"But if I have the ability to save them, I must try! If I do try but fail, I will comfort myself by saying that I have done my best and left the rest to fate."

"But if I have the opportunity to do it and I don't do it, I can't get over it in my own heart."

Wu Cheng took her hand in return and patted the back of her hand. "Now that I am fortunate enough to be a prince, if I had the chance to save more people but gave it up, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night."

He shrugged and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Maybe I'll wake up in the middle of the night and slap myself twice, thinking I'm such a useless piece of trash. Senior sister, you wouldn't want your junior brother to be a spineless, self-pitying good-for-nothing, would you?"

Bai Suyi's lips parted slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.

Because... the only one who could win her heart was this junior brother...

But... but if that happens...

Bai Suyi lowered her eyes, hiding her expression behind her bangs.

"What if you still fail in the end? Will you regret it?"

Wu Cheng gave a hearty smile, as if he had never considered such a thing. "Maybe I'll be sad, thinking that if I had done something a little better, I wouldn't have failed, but... I have no regrets."

Bai Suyi stared at him blankly.

Back then... he had the same smile.

Did he not regret it back then?

"Oh dear, senior sister, don't be so sentimental. It makes it sound like I'm never coming back, which is really bad luck."

Wu Cheng chuckled and patted the back of her hand. "I'll be back after this is all sorted out. Besides, I'm a very timid person. I won't do anything I can't do. I have to save my own life first before I can talk about helping others or anything like that."

"Master needs to see me, so I'll head over now. Senior Sister, you should get some rest too."

Releasing Bai Suyi's hand, Wu Cheng walked around her and left the house.

But his hand was suddenly grabbed.

Wu Cheng turned around in astonishment, only to see Bai Suying grabbing his hand with a panicked expression, pleading, "Junior brother! Don't go down the mountain! Please! I'll do anything! Please..."

"Huh?" Wu Cheng was genuinely surprised.

I feel like my senior sister's expression is a little scary right now...

He quickly reassured her, "Senior sister, don't worry, I'll definitely be back as soon as I've resolved this, I promise! Oh, right! It's almost time for my appointment with Master! I have to go now!"

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

I have a feeling that if I stay any longer, something terrible is going to happen!

This time, Bai Suying didn't stop him, but instead stood there with her head down.

Then she raised her eyes, her face as if covered with frost, her deep eyes staring at Wu Cheng's fleeing figure.

If I break my junior brother's limbs... will he be unable to walk?

Bai Suyi took a step forward, but suddenly stopped.

Because she sensed a sharp edge.

Looking to the side, I saw a person standing in the shadows of the grove of trees outside the courtyard.

It is a bluebird.

She was looking at them expressionlessly.

Bai Suying didn't move, and only when Wu Cheng disappeared did Qingque appear in front of her in an instant.

The two of them stared at each other expressionlessly.

After a long silence, Qingque uttered a sentence in a voice as clear as an icy spring: "You really only care about yourself."

Qingque had witnessed the entire performance.

However, the only slight stirring in her heart was because of what His Highness said, while she felt no emotion whatsoever towards Bai Suying; on the contrary, she found her laughable.

Pretend.

If she really cared that much, why had Qingque never heard of any interaction between the future Sword Fairy and His Highness before her rebirth?

She didn't lend a helping hand when His Highness was surrounded, but now she's pretending to be a devoted junior brother.

Bai Suying's eyes also turned cold, but she did not refute.

Yes, she is a selfish person.

Knowing full well that his junior brother wanted to help the world, he still tried to stop him, wanting only to keep him on the mountain and by his side.

She used the guise of doing what was best for her junior brother, but in reality, she was just satisfying her own selfish desires.

But... so what?

From the day she entered the Innate Realm after her junior brother's death, her sword was no longer a legitimate and righteous sword of a prestigious sect.

The junior brother is still the same junior brother, but she, in white robes... is no longer the sword fairy Bai Suyi who was devoted to the sword in her youth.

However, this is not the time to kill the little maid, but we must not alert our junior brother.

At the very least... she still has to play the role of the perfect senior sister in front of her junior brother.

And this little maid... ha, a nobody who didn't even leave a name in her previous life, what threat could she pose?

Bai Suying withdrew her cultivation and walked around Qingque. In the instant they brushed past each other, she reverted to her usual dashing and elegant senior sister persona, but her words carried a subtle undertone: "Then stay by my junior brother's side. If he encounters any trouble... I will solve the problem in my own way."

Qingque stared straight ahead expressionlessly, her voice cold, "There's no need for the hypocritical young sect leader of the Wentian Sect to interfere. His Highness will naturally be taken care of by me."

Bai Suyi smiled and left.

She was just an unknown maidservant who accompanied the bride; what could she possibly do?

Qingque turned around and stared blankly at Bai Suyi's back, remaining motionless for a long time.

-----------------

Meanwhile, Wu Cheng had already slipped away to Gong Yuqing's residence.

He breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he entered the front hall, then poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down.

"Phew...it's alive again, hmm? Lu'an Melon Seed Tea? Good stuff!"

He drank several more glasses in a row.

"You unfilial disciple! Why don't you greet your master?"

Wu Cheng turned around and saw that the door to the inner boudoir was half open. Gong Yuqing, dressed in a purple silk robe, was leaning against the door with her arms crossed, glancing at him sideways.

Wu Cheng put down his teacup and quickly asked, "Master! Did Senior Sister suffer any kind of mental trauma in the past?"

Gong Yuqing was taken aback, then tilted her head. "Psychological trauma? What does that mean?"

Wu Cheng quickly explained, "It's because she witnessed some tragedy when she was a child, and she becomes emotionally unstable whenever she encounters something similar."

"A tragedy..." Gong Yuqing frowned, stroking his smooth chin in thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up. "It seems so. When I first went down the mountain to explore the world, I passed through a village and saw that everyone in the village was dead. Judging from the traces, they must have encountered bandits coming down the mountain."

"I was about to leave when I heard your senior sister's suppressed sobs. That's how I found her in a small wooden cabinet. She was only three years old then."

Wu Chengran.

No wonder my senior sister's personality suddenly changed so much, she must have PTSD!
