"Let's go!"

Nangong Luo's expression shifted from surprise to amusement, as if he had discovered a world-shattering secret.

After urging Xiao Zi, Nangong Luo, who was now satisfied with his curiosity, turned around and started walking back.

"Squeak! That... Spiritual Peaches! Three of them!"

Xiao Zi hurriedly chased after him on short legs, afraid that Nangong Luo would go back on his word, and didn't forget to remind him.

"You little thing, I won't withhold your Spiritual Peaches. Follow me!"

Nangong Luo glanced helplessly at Xiao Zi and urged.

Hearing Nangong Luo's words, Xiao Zi's worry vanished without a trace, and it followed him with cheerful steps.

After returning to Peach Grove Valley, Nangong Luo kept his promise and picked three fragrant and large Spiritual Peaches from the Spiritual Peach Tree and handed them to Xiao Zi.

Xiao Zi received them joyfully and, without paying any attention to Nangong Luo beside it, took the three Spiritual Peaches and climbed onto the Bodhi Holy Tree to hide them as soon as possible.

Watching Xiao Zi's actions, Nangong Luo was momentarily speechless and smiled wryly in his heart. He couldn't fathom who this little fellow was guarding against by hiding the Spiritual Peaches on the Bodhi Holy Tree!

She and her big brother both had Divine Sense, and with just a sweep, everything on the tree would be crystal clear.

Xiao Zi's Spiritual Peach stash was also clear in her mind.

A total of twelve Spiritual Peaches!

Six were hidden in the tree canopy, three wedged in the dense branches in the center, and the last three were pressed under the bird's nest Xiao Zi made out of twigs.

Crystal clear!

Afterwards, Nangong Luo shook her head, stopped paying attention to Xiao Zi, and turned her gaze to her big brother who was sleeping soundly, walking over with a playful expression.

A moment later.

"Little sister, why are you staring at me instead of training?"

Jiang Che looked at Nangong Luo in front of him and said helplessly.

He had just been sleeping soundly when suddenly he felt a prickling sensation on his back, as if someone was secretly watching him.

Jiang Che instantly woke up, opened his eyes, and saw his third sister staring directly at him.

Suddenly, Jiang Che felt uncomfortable all over.

"Big brother, be honest, what is your relationship with the Willow God?"

Seeing her big brother wake up, Nangong Luo looked at Jiang Che with an expression of "I've seen through everything" and pressed for answers.

She really couldn't believe that her own brother would fall for the Willow God!

This matter was beyond her imagination. They used to fight to the death, and now there's admiration? The change was way too fast!

If she wasn't sure her brother hadn't been bewitched, Nangong Luo would have thought the Willow God had used some spell on him!

I like the Willow God?

What's that about?

Hearing Nangong Luo's inner thoughts, Jiang Che was first stunned, then utterly speechless.

His relation with the Willow God was clearly innocent, when did he ever like the Willow God?

Where did this third sister of his get such news?

"Little sister, you misunderstood. My relation with the Willow God isn't what you think. At most, we're just fellow cultivators!"

Jiang Che hurriedly shook his head and explained.

If he didn't explain, he didn't know how his third sister would imagine his relationship with the Willow God next!

"Hmph, big brother, stop lying to me! Would you put so much effort into just a fellow cultivator?

First, you helped her subdue the Qiongqi, now you're healing her. You really are good to your so-called fellow cultivator!"

Seeing her big brother still hiding the truth, Nangong Luo grumbled in a sarcastic tone.

If you like her, just admit it! Why can't he confess it? Big brother is just being stubborn!

"How do you know?"

Jiang Che was startled. He never told his third sister that he was going to help the Willow God heal her injuries!

"Big brother, don't worry about how I know. You haven't answered my question yet. Do you like the Willow God or not?"

Nangong Luo naturally couldn't rat out the little fellow and directly changed the subject, continuing to press.

However, even without Nangong Luo saying it, Jiang Che figured it out.

It must have been Xiao Zi, that little loose-mouthed fellow, who let it slip!

The only ones who knew he went to the Imperial Capital to heal the Willow God were three—Willow God, himself, and Xiao Zi.

The Willow God was far away in the Imperial Capital, and his third sister couldn't have contacted her in a short time. He wouldn't say it himself, so it was only Xiao Zi who might have accidentally blurted it out.

"Alright, alright, daring to leak your master's business, Xiao Zi, I see you're getting bolder. Just wait and see how I handle you later!"

At this moment, Jiang Che had already planned how to punish Xiao Zi later!

On the Bodhi Holy Tree, Xiao Zi, sleeping comfortably in the nest, suddenly felt a chill down its spine. It opened its eyes, feeling a bit puzzled.

Then, Xiao Zi scratched its plump little belly with its tiny paws and continued to sleep soundly.

"Big brother, I'm asking you! Do you like the Willow God or not?"

Seeing her big brother's face changing, showing hints of ruthlessness from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking, Nangong Luo urged anxiously.

"Uh... it's really not what you think, little sister. I and the Willow God are at most like intimate friends, which is why I'm helping her. I don't have that kind of feeling for her at all!"

Jiang Che, snapping back to reality, started making up nonsense, responding with an awkward expression.

The idea of falling for the Willow God was absurd; even thinking about it seemed ridiculous. His third sister's imagination was indeed rich.

"Haha, big brother still wants to trick me? Intimate friends? Isn't that just liking? What's so hard to admit?"

Nangong Luo didn't believe him at all, teasingly scrutinizing Jiang Che.

Big brother truly cares about face. Even when questioned to this degree, he stubbornly refuses to admit it.

I'm not even opposing them being together, yet he hides it even from me, his sister...

However, the Willow God's capability and talent aren't bad, quite a good match for my big brother.

If they really end up together, I might as well reluctantly recognize her as a sister-in-law!

Hearing Nangong Luo's inner thoughts once again, Jiang Che just felt the sweat pouring down his back and was utterly speechless.

This was getting more and more absurd!

However, he couldn't directly tell Nangong Luo that he was helping the Willow God so she could focus on cultivation and improve her skills faster.

"Alright, alright, I'll tell you! Better than letting you guess blindly!

The reason I'm helping the Willow God is purely to cultivate a rival for myself!

Your big brother has been invincible for too long, losing the motivation to improve, so I'm cultivating a rival to stimulate my fighting spirit!"

Jiang Che shook his head helplessly, then looked at Nangong Luo with a straight face and said seriously.

"Really?"

Nangong Luo looked at Jiang Che in surprise, hardly believing what she was hearing.

"Of course it's true, would big brother find it necessary to lie to you?"

Jiang Che spoke with utmost sincerity, totally earnest.

Feeling that her big brother was telling the truth, Nangong Luo was taken aback and couldn't help but admire her brother's far-reaching vision.
