"Sister Shengyi, is something the matter?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.
"Jiang Family matters, Sister Jiang Rou has already told you, right?" Jiang Shengyi said.
"Mm, I'll go back to the Jiang Family to visit my maternal grandfather in a few days," Jun Xiaoyao nodded.
Then, silence fell.
Jiang Shengyi bit her lip and said, "Thank you for your lecture a few days ago. It was a great inspiration to me."
Jiang Shengyi was an Innate Dao Embryo, naturally close to the Dao.
And Jun Xiaoyao's lecture that day was indeed of great help to her, practically waking her up from a dream with a single word.
"Sister Shengyi, when did you become so polite? I remember when we were in the Yuantian Secret Treasure, Sister Shengyi was still chatting and laughing with me, without any distance," Jun Xiaoyao said blandly.
Jiang Shengyi's current attitude towards him made Jun Xiaoyao feel a bit strange.
After all, before this, Jiang Shengyi's attitude towards him was very cordial, chatting and laughing, often revealing her beautiful smile.
She gave off the feeling of a kind and gentle big sister next door.
But now, she not only deliberately avoided Jun Xiaoyao but also rarely smiled.
"Is... is there?" Jiang Shengyi's exquisite face looked a bit unnatural.
"If Xiaoyao has annoyed Sister Shengyi, you can just say it. Xiaoyao doesn't mind," Jun Xiaoyao said directly.
"No... no, how could I possibly dislike you!" Jiang Shengyi quickly retorted, as if afraid Jun Xiaoyao would misunderstand.
"Then the reason is..." Jun Xiaoyao hesitated.
Jiang Shengyi gripped her jade hands tightly, her heart feeling like a spilled spice bottle, a mix of complex emotions.
If she truly disliked Jun Xiaoyao, Jiang Shengyi would actually feel relieved.
But unfortunately, liking made Jiang Shengyi even more afraid than disliking.
Jiang Shengyi simply found it difficult to express her feelings.
Looking at Jun Xiaoyao's perfectly handsome face before her, Jiang Shengyi couldn't utter the words that filled her heart.
When Jun Xiaoyao was in the Lower Realm, Jiang Shengyi had always missed him.
At this moment, Jiang Shengyi's picturesque face showed an expression of Tolerate endurance, with a hint of grievance.
Even Jun Xiaoyao was momentarily stunned, sensing Jiang Shengyi's emotions.
Although Jun Xiaoyao sometimes acted a bit like a 'steel straight man,' he was actually very thoughtful.
"No way?" Jun Xiaoyao thought of this possibility, feeling a bit surprised.
At this moment, Jiang Shengyi sensed something amiss.
Her clear, ethereal face was covered with a blush.
This made Jiang Shengyi herself a bit confused.
"Could it be..."
"That girl Jiang Luoli..." Jun Xiaoyao finally understood completely.
He now knew why Jiang Luoli had looked so guilty and unnatural before.
At that time, Jun Xiaoyao hadn't thought too much about it.
Now it seemed that the silly girl really had some ideas.
"How reckless," Jun Xiaoyao cursed under his breath.
"Sister Shengyi, there's been a bit of a situation," Jun Xiaoyao said.
"Mm, I feel it too..."
Jiang Shengyi's beautiful face was flushed crimson.
"Xiaoyao, when you were in the Lower Realm, I kept thinking of you. It's just that Luoli went to the Lower Realm, and I couldn't follow."
"I don't know why, perhaps it's the resonance between the Innate Dao Embryo and the Ancient Sacred Body, or perhaps something else..."
"I don't know how to face you..."
"I thought that maybe if I just kept my distance, I could gradually let go..."
"But I found that I still couldn't let go, so I came to find you..."
Jiang Shengyi extended a pair of jade-like arms and embraced Jun Xiaoyao.
Although Jun Xiaoyao was only fourteen, his physique was slender and tall, like a towering jade tree.
Jiang Shengyi was already quite tall, but in front of Jun Xiaoyao, she was still half a head shorter than him.
"Sister Shengyi, you..." Jun Xiaoyao was stunned.
Jun Xiaoyao wasn't focused on this at the moment.
Then, Jiang Shengyi kissed him.
