The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

"Reporting to the Elders, the person I truly love is—"

Lin Xiao deliberately drew out his words, his bright eyes fixed on his Master.

"Is..."

He paused again.

"Is..."

At this moment, the curiosity in everyone present had burned to a fever pitch!

This included several seasoned and mature Supreme Elders, some over a thousand years old...

Everyone wanted to know just what kind of woman had captured the heart of this sensational young talent—the Martial Champion of the Five Branches, favored by True Monarch Taiwu, who had perfectly cleared the Sword Tomb and conquered the Northern Territory Queen!

"Spit it out already!"

"Who is it! You child, speak up!"

"Aiyo! This is killing this old man! Hundreds of years of cultivated composure, all rattled by this boy!"

In the great hall, some of the Elders were so agitated they could barely remain seated.

High upon the Sect Leader's throne, even True Master Ziyun's lips were slightly parted, as if she too wished to urge him on.

Zhu Wanning, Su Mei, Guo Yourong, and the other young women present were blushing, their hearts pounding, nearly breathless. They eagerly awaited the man's answer, yet simultaneously feared their hopes would be shattered.

On the other side, seeing her beloved disciple staring at her unblinkingly, Xiao Hongling's exquisite, phoenix-like face turned as red as a sunset. She quickly averted her gaze, not daring to meet his.

Xiao'er... Xiao'er, please don't...

Master knows your feelings, but I've told you before, we are master and disciple... We can't become... Dao companions!

The words "Dao companions" echoed in her mind, and Xiao Hongling's blush instantly spread to the tips of her ears. Her slender, silk-clad legs instinctively pressed and rubbed together.

Heavens, how could I associate Xiao'er, whom I raised as my own, with the term "Dao companions"?!

She quickly chided herself.

However, she couldn't deceive her own heart.

While she felt ashamed, deep down, she also felt a strange... excitement?

Fine! Even if... even if you intend to force my hand... you shouldn't do it here!

The Sect Leader and Chairmen present are all my martial seniors, my elder brothers and sisters—you know this! If you truly do this, how am I supposed to face them?

You mustn't cause a scene! Please, don't!

Xiao Hongling clasped her hands together. She, who had never believed in gods or Buddhas, found herself praying.

The most agonizing part was, She found a tiny part of her actually hoping her beloved disciple would do something truly outrageous!

However, in the very instant her thoughts were racing, the disciple who held everyone's attention had already withdrawn his gaze. He stated calmly, "Reporting to the Sect Leader and all Elders, the one Lin Xiao admires is—my Second Junior Sister, Guo Yourong!"

As soon as he spoke, a shocked murmur rippled through the hall!

So, after all that suspense, Chief Lin had actually been in love with his junior sister all along?!

Did that mean Chief Su and her disciple had completely misread the situation?

Elsewhere, the three young women displayed vastly different expressions.

Zhu Wanning's beautiful eyes welled with tears, her expression tragic and pitiful.

Guo Yourong, however, was overwhelmed with joy, covering her face as she sobbed, her shapely, snow-white legs quivering with eagerness, seemingly ready to leap into her Eldest Senior Brother's embrace at any moment!

Unlike these two, the graceful and gentle young woman renowned for her 'Zither Heart and Sword Spirit' remained exceptionally calm. She cast one final glance at the man she loved, then, cradling her zither, she departed as light as the wind.

As for the mistress of Divine Phoenix Peak, the renowned Fairy Hongling who had stunned the entire Cultivation World...

At this moment, her phoenix eyes were glazed, her tall figure frozen, as if her soul had fled her body.

So... Xiao'er truly admitted he likes Yurong.

Witnessing her disciple confess his love for a woman in front of everyone, at that moment, her heart ached unbearably, as if a piece had been brutally torn out.

No, Xiao'er admitting he likes Yurong is exactly what I wished for! I should be happy for them, celebrate!

With this thought, she forcefully suppressed these tumultuous emotions and, with great effort, managed to force a gratified smile. In a strained voice, she said, "Good, good. You've all heard it. My disciple, Lin Xiao, has declared the object of his affections. I implore you all to refrain from spreading baseless rumors henceforth. As for the marriage of these two dear disciples of mine..."

Here, she gritted her teeth.

"As their Master, I shall make the decision today! It shall be... it shall be held tomorrow, at Bright Moon Cliff on my Divine Phoenix Peak! When the time comes, we sincerely hope the esteemed Sect Leader, the Chairmen, and all Elders will grace us with their presence!"

After saying this, she quickly turned away, using her Mana to surreptitiously wipe away a tear that had nearly fallen.

She couldn't help it; she hadn't wanted to cry.

Ever since she was eighteen and had personally slain her Master, who had succumbed to demonic corruption, Xiao Hongling had not shed another tear.

But this feeling, of handing over the disciple she cherished... to another woman, was truly too...

Oh, Master, you really know how to sabotage your own happiness, sigh.

Observing her demeanor, Lin Xiao felt both helpless and deeply pained.

He had spent fourteen years with this beautiful, formidable, yet adorably naive woman, and had seen every facet of her personality.

Now, he could naturally sense the anguish in her heart.

Tonight, she'd likely end up drinking herself into a stupor again, GLUG GLUG GLUG!

Damn it, is it so hard to admit you're in love with your own disciple?!

Lin Xiao looked up at the sky, speechless.

However, in all fairness, the choice he had just announced was indeed one he had carefully considered, and it had nothing to do with his Master's current turmoil.

He had always owed Yurong far too much.
