"Senior brothers and sisters?"
Hearing Old Jin bring up this topic, Yun You was instantly intrigued.
Her senior brothers and sisters had already shown considerable strength. They might have different personalities, but none of them were ordinary, just like the evaluation given by the Nest City Council — heroes of calamity might not be on our side, but each of them was the pinnacle of strength in this world and worthy of respect.
Yun You indeed wanted to know what kind of people they really were and what image they had in front of her master.
"Ah You, why don't you share your thoughts first?"
Old Jin grinned and asked softly, "You should have t your two senior brothers by now, right?"
Yun You nodded and then silently began to ponder.
As for her thoughts...
Although she hadn't spent much ti with those three senior siblings, she had managed to sowhat figure out so of their personalities.
"Well, let's start with the eldest senior brother then."
The little girl pursed her lips, and the image of Jiang Wuji first floated into her mind.
"In my opinion, the eldest senior brother can be well encapsulated with one word — knight."
"Eldest senior brother seems sowhat carefree in appearance, his actions seem to always be sowhat unruly, as if everything is none of his business, but he always ends up doing what he believes is right unintentionally."
"For example, even before he lifted the Floating Island, he didn't forget to extend a helping hand to those innocent civilians, saving all the people."
"His wine, I can tell, is dicine wine mixed with expensive ingredients, very costly, even Upper City's nobles wouldn't dare drink it by the liter, yet he willingly gave it to an injured elderly lady to enjoy freely, without any reservation."
"This kind of person... is like those idle loafers on the street, sotis speaking with a bit of small cunning, even giving an unreliable impression, but after truly interacting, I can feel that deep down, he is surely kind-hearted, much like a ranger."
Saying that, Yun You shrugged, whispering softly, "Honestly, I've only seen such people in wuxia dramas, how was that adjective phrase again..."
"Oh, right, this is called loyal and courageous, with a knight's heart."
Upon hearing this evaluation, Old Jin slightly furrowed his brow, seeming sowhat dissatisfied.
This made Yun You's heart skip a beat, thinking she might have said sothing wrong?
However, Old Jin then gently nodded, his forehead smoothing out, as if in approval, indicating for Yun You to continue.
"So is this approval or disapproval...?"
Yun You cautiously peeked at her master with a sidelong glance, unable to help but criticize internally...
After all, having muddled through the lower levels of Nest City for so long, she ought to have honed the skill of reading people's expressions, yet now, she couldn't quite discern Old Jin's intentions.
"Truly a master, entirely inscrutable."
The girl shook her head, deciding there was no need to overthink things.
Since Old Jin asked her to speak, he surely was prepared to hear an undesirable answer, so she only needed to speak her mind freely.
"Let's talk about the second senior brother, um, I an, I should call him second brother."
Yun You shook her head, returning to the subject as a hearty smile of an honest man appeared in her mind.
"If the eldest brother's kindness carries a city vibe... sowhat cynical, then the second brother's kindness is the pure simplicity of human nature, genuine, without any ulterior motives or demands."
"Second brother is a good man, in my heart, this is the highest praise I can give to a person."
"If I were in your position, having to choose a successor among all the brothers and sisters, I would consider the eldest, consider other capable and talented disciples, but in the end, I would definitely choose the second brother."
"He won't kill unnecessarily, won't engage in conflict where peaceful solutions or words would suffice."
"Though second brother always speaks with an 'I' that makes him seem a bit simple-minded, I think he's truly wise, just the kind of disciple you hope to see, teacher."
Saying this, Yun You raised her head with a smile, asking, "Am I right, Master?"
"Hmm..."
Old Jin still didn't speak but rely nodded slightly, indicating for Yun You to continue.
"As for the third one, um, I an the third sister..."
Yun You touched her chin, envisioning the image of that blindfolded woman.
Strangely enough, despite Tang Jin's delicate look and icy allure, Yun You's first impression of her was the peculiar way she looked at her...
"I just feel... this third sister seems a bit strange... inexplicably so."
Hearing the girl's critique, Old Jin was a bit taken aback.
"You've t that girl, Tang Jin?"
But soon, he shook his head, speaking softly, "But that's not surprising."
"That sister of yours, how to put it... has sowhat peculiar inclinations, it's quite normal for her to have notions about you, you're probably not the first she's targeted."
"But don't worry, my students have boundaries, knowing you're one of us, she probably won't have any strange notions again."
Although Yun You still found it peculiar hearing this, she felt relieved, nodded, and continued, "I don't know much about the third sister, so I dare not comnt recklessly."
"But I gathered from second brother and her words that perhaps the third sister had unavoidable reasons for leaving you, so I feel your anger towards her might not be that great."
