Ye Yinzhu took a sniff, saying, “Sura, hurry up, I’m starving.”
Sura walked in, holding a tray with four delicately made dishes and a main course.
She placed it down beside Ye Yinzhu before saying, “Were you reincarnated as a ghost who starved to death?
You’re always so impatient.”
Ye Yinzhu chuckled and said, “You might as well consider me a reincarnated starving ghost.
I’m still growing!
How can I not eat more?”
Sura froze, staring blankly at Ye Yinzhu.
She suddenly remembered, Ye Yinzhu was only 18 this year!
However, he already bore far too many burdens.
On the surface, he seemed no different than when they first met, even more handsome perhaps.
But he transformed from the naive boy who knew nothing about love into the Lord of Qin City, manding various powerful clans, even repelling the 300,000-strong Milan Empire’s army with a single blow.
The changes were just too vast and rapid.
He was tired, not physically, but mentally.
He had endured too much.
While his eyes were clear, they carried a hint of world-weariness within the depth.
Endurance undeniably accelerates growth, but had Ye Yinzhu endured too much?
Thinking about all this, a mysterious heartache overcame Sura.
She even fantasized about setting everything aside with Ye Yinzhu and heading somewhere remote, to live a carefree life.
It painted an unrealistic picture, both of them had too many obligations.
Moreover, her life and soul had already been…
“Sura, why aren’t you eating?
It’s really delicious!” Ye Yinzhu’s words pulled Sura back from her thoughts.
She forced a smile, saying, “As long as you enjoy it, I’m not hungry.
Eat more.” While speaking, she picked up a piece of Ye Yinzhu’s favorite sweet and sour ribs and placed it in his bowl.
“Yinzhu.” Just then, Haiyang walked in from outside the door, witnessing the scene of Sura picking ribs for Ye Yinzhu.
She felt a strange unease, seeing too much tenderness in Sura’s eyes.
“Haiyang, have you eaten?
e, let’s eat together.” Ye Yinzhu warmly invited Haiyang.
Haiyang shook her head, saying, “No, you eat.
Sura’s cooking is still so good.
I have thought of a better method to practice Divine Music Magic with the Blue Elf girls and wanted to discuss it with you.”
As Ye Yinzhu enjoyed his delicious meal, he smiled and said, “Go ahead.”
Haiyang took a deep breath and tried to repress her unease, “Yinzhu, I plan to conduct bined training with the elders while training the new recruits.
We mainly improve our magic power through playing the Cultivation Source Calm Mind Song.
This way, our music can aid the warriors as well, helping them recover faster and improving their training effectiveness.”
Ye Yinzhu’s eyes lit up, “It’s an excellent idea—it not only has the benefits you mentioned but can also enable faster integration of your Divine Music Magic with the warriors.
I approve.”
With Ye Yinzhu’s approval, Haiyang felt much better and pulled up a chair to sit beside him.
Sura glanced at Haiyang, sighing inwardly, he still belonged to her.
She was just an ephemeral visitor.
Standing up, she said, “Please continue eating.
Yinzhu, I am going to pack up a little for our departure tomorrow.”
Ye Yinzhu looked puzzled, “What do you have to pack?
I don’t remember you having any luggage!”
With an awkward glance at Haiyang, Sura said nothing and walked out.
Ye Yinzhu finally understood, she did not want to disturb him and Haiyang.
“Sura seems a bit odd.” After Sura had left, Haiyang murmured to Ye Yinzhu.
Ye Yinzhu was stunned, “What do you mean?”
Haiyang shook her head, “I can’t quite put it into words.
She just seems different from before.
When I saw her looking at you earlier, her gaze seemed more than friendly.
She seemed to care about you a lot, even…” she paused her words, obviously believing Ye Yinzhu wasn’t someone with such preferences, what she feared was Sura…
Ye Yinzhu was no longer that naive little boy, immediately grasping the meaning behind her words.
He chuckled and tapped her head lightly with his chopsticks, “What are you thinking about?
Sura and I are good brothers.
Haiyang, it seems your thoughts are not entirely wholesome.”
Haiyang burst into laughter and replied, “I wonder who is the one with impure thoughts.
I didn’t say anything.
You’re the one overthinking.
Do you really have to go personally tomorrow?”
Ye Yinzhu nodded, “There’s no one who understands the Three Hundred Grim Reapers better than I do.
I know what kind of mounts they need.
I would not be reassured if I did not personally deal with it.”
Haiyang wanted to say something but stifled it.
She dropped her head, resting it lightly on Ye Yinzhu’s shoulder, “Be careful on your journey.
Yin Zhu, I…”
Ye Yinzhu seemed to anticipate what she was going to say, “Haiyang, it’s already late.
You should rest.
I’ll cultivate after dinner.
My body has recovered, but the indiscriminate use of the Super Divine Artifact last time must have damaged my spiritual origin.
It will take some time to repair.”
Haiyang raised her head to look at Ye Yinzhu, who looked back at her.
As their gaze met, Ye Yinzhu quickly averted his eyes, resuming his meal with increased speed.
Feeling a sigh of desolation inside her, Haiyang wondered if Ye Yinzhu was avoiding her or if he simply…
She dared not plete the thought but her worry deepened.
However, she did find quick respite.
She had made her decision.
Even if he rejected her, her heart would still belong to him.
Her feelings pounded with sadness and as she lowered her head, ing close to Ye Yinzhu, her beautiful face emerged from the gentle glow of her skin.
When Ye Yinzhu felt her faint fragrance, there was a slight chill on his cheek.
Haiyang darted away like a startled rabbit, “Yin Zhu, I won’t see you off tomorrow.
I’m afraid I can’t handle it…”
Touching the spot where Haiyang had kissed him, Ye Yinzhu felt perplexed.
No one could resist a gentle and lovely girl, not even him.
He had always nursed for her an indescribable affection.
Whether it was passion or something more, he couldn’t say.
He knew he liked Haiyang, but to what extent, he himself was unsure.
I’m sorry, Haiyang.
I’m not quite ready yet, I simply cannot fully accept your feelings.
Perhaps, it’s because what I’ve gone through has been too overwhelming.
I just don’t have time to deal with these emotions.
At this thought, a hint of remorse reflected in Ye Yinzhu’s eyes.
He knew he owed Haiyang when it came to love.
Love is profound affection, affection is subtle love; once his feelings for Haiyang upgrade to love, that might be the moment they finally e together.
For some reason, regarding this matter, he’d always felt as if he were waiting for something.
But he couldn’t quite identify what it was.
However, the feeling only grew stronger and clearer after the encounter with Black Phoenix.
But his time with her was too brief to fully grasp the mystery behind this feeling.
“Sura?” Ye Yinzhu looked up to find Sura standing at the entrance of the hall.
She looked somewhat pale, silently staring at him without saying a word.
“Did I interrupt something?” asked Sura softly.
“No, not at all,” Ye Yinzhu responded, finishing off his meal.
Sura sat down beside Ye Yinzhu, “Why haven’t you accepted Haiyang’s feelings?
She’s a good girl, I can tell that she has entrusted her heart to you.”
Ye Yinzhu managed a bitter smile, “I don’t know why, but I feel as if there’s something blocking me from feelings for Haiyang.
As if there’s another woman more important to me deep within.
I can’t explain why this is.
Is it really the Black Phoenix?
But before the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons ranking fight, I’d never even met her.”
Sura abruptly raised her head, staring at Ye Yinzhu as if she had made up her mind.
She asked, “Yin Zhu, do you really like my senior sister?
If you do, I think I can play matchmaker.”
“What?” Ye Yinzhu was taken aback, “No, Sura, I don’t know.
The Black Phoenix is the princess of Landias Empire and Faran’s follower.
How could she possibly be with me?
I don’t even know if I’ll ever see her again.”
A bit agitated, Sura voiced, “Those aren’t problems.
I’m just asking if you really like the Black Phoenix, my senior sister.”
Lowering his head, Ye Yinzhu found himself touched, “I guess I do.
The feeling of love at first sight has engraved deeply within me, although I don’t understand why I harbor these feelings for her.
I feel a bit lost.
But Haiyang holds an important place in my heart too.
I like her as well.
I don’t even know who I like more.”
“You men are all the same, you always fall for beautiful girls,” said Sura huffily.
Shaking his head, Ye Yinzhu said, “No, that’s not it.
My feelings are not the same as you interpreted.
