Chapter 746: Why Do You Believe So Strongly in Shen Yunya
She wanted to take an indirect approach to ask and see how her Imperial Brother felt about Feng Tianlan and see if he would recognize her.
Xi Jin averted his gaze and hid the feelings he once had about her as Dai’er in his heart. He slowly said, “Although she is vicious and merciless, there are reasons for it. That’s all there is to it. I don’t pay much attention to her.”
He had to accept the reality that Dai’er was already dead. He should stop fantasizing.
Xi Lin was a little disappointed with his answer. That was Dai’er. It was Dai’er whom they had been with for ten years, and her Imperial Brother didn’t feel anything? Even if Dai’er changed her appearance, a lot of her little habits wouldn’t change.But her Imperial Brother did not feel anything, and even called Dai’er was vicious and merciless.
If she had been the one who suffered a tragic death, not only would she be vicious and merciless, but she would also want to become a demoness and kill anyone in sight.
“My brother, can you not call off the wedding?”
Upon hearing Xi Lin’s sudden appeal, Xi Jin glanced up and looked at her doubtfully. He immediately frowned and said with a heavy voice, “Nonsense, the wedding date is in a few days. How can I call off the wedding, just like that? How can I put Ya’er in that position? And how can I misplace our Imperial Family’s prestige?”
Xi Lin was a little dumbstruck by the admonishment. She was also somewhat angry and raised her voice as she said, “But my brother, don’t you like Dai’er? Hasn’t your top candidate for the princess consort always been Dai’er? Why did you get betrothed when Dai’er had only been dead for a year? And get married after three years?”
“It was Dai’er’s final wish. I’ll agree to anything as long as it’s Dai’er’s wish,” he replied. Anyway, Dai’er was dead. It was all the same whoever he married.
“Her final wish? Did Dai’er say this herself?” Xi Lin asked.“It was personally written by Dai’er. She was already buried when I came back. How could she say it herself?” Xi Jin looked at the exasperated Xi Lin and creased his gentle brows. He said, “Lin’er, what’s wrong with you?”
“I, too, know how to copy Dai’er’s handwriting. Why couldn’t it have been a determined person who forged her handwriting and write her last words under false pretenses?” said Xi Lin, looking at Xi Jin. She really felt resentful and impatient towards her brother for failing to grasp this. No wonder that even though he had known Dai’er earlier than Jiang Ying, he did not have Dai’er’s heart. It was only because he was too stupid.
She had been practicing writing together with Dai’er since they were young. When they had nothing to do, they would often practice each other’s handwriting until they looked similar. If they were to get into trouble and had to copy lines as a punishment, one person would use that handwriting to help the other. Although Dai’er helped her more, she still knew how to write in Dai’er’s handwriting.
Xi Jin immediately understood the meaning of her words, and his face became grimmer as he said, “Ya’er is not that kind of person.”
“Why are you so sure? Do you trust her that much?” Xi Lin looked at him with some disappointment.
“If she were, why would she go to the state preceptor there to make a blood sacrifice for the crystal ball and ask for Dai’er’s re-birth? She almost lost her life because of this. Furthermore, when Dai’er was terminally ill, she also went into the Forest of Death. She narrowly escaped after she managed to pick the Spiritual King Grass to help protect Dai’er’s main arteries. It was due to this that she lived for three more months. How could Ya’er do such a thing?”
Listening to Xi Jin’s words, Xi Lin looked straight at him for a long time. Then she lowered her eyes weakly and let her tears fall freely as she said, “Ah yes, Shen Yunya is so good. How sisterly of her, ah.”
She charged into the Forest of Death alone and even nearly died from a blood sacrifice to the crystal ball. Moreover, she also personally went to Guiyuan Continent to find the Spiritual King Grass for Dai’er. There were also those ten years of doting on Dai’er and helping her to take on many punishments…
All of these stacked up and undoubtedly let the world know that Shen Yunya was very fond of that useless cousin and that she treated her like a sister. She had deep sisterly love for her and was affectionate and true. However, who would know that Shen Yunya’s gift for cultivation was mediocre and that it was Dai’er who helped her comprehend and cultivate step by step and assisted her to advance to become an Earth Supreme?
