The Villainous Eldest Senior Brother and His Yandere Junior Sisters

"I want you... to serve me for three lifetimes!"

"Do you understand?"

Looking at the handsome man who had now grown to adulthood, a man as beautiful as a painting, countless sweet memories of their time together flooded her heart.

Xiao Hongling turned away, her eyes red, no longer able to suppress her emotions, and burst into tears.

"Yes, Master. Your disciple will naturally do his utmost. Please rest assured."

Seeing her shoulders tremble as if she were crying, Lin Xiao's heart felt as if it were being twisted by a knife.

Damn it, I might as well not leave!

A thought suddenly burst into his mind. He had entertained this notion before, but never with such conviction as now!

Indeed... Was she the person I cared for most in the entire Qinglan Sect?

Lin Xiao's heart throbbed.

"Alright! Xiao'er! I... I will allow you to lose tomorrow's battle! But..."

"You are forbidden from saying such inexplicable things again!"

"Moping about... like a sissy! It's so annoying!"

Xiao Hongling choked back her sobs, tossed the wine jug in her hand over the cliff, and leaped away!

"Master, your disciple hasn't finished speaking!"

"No matter where your disciple is, I..."

"...will always love you!"

Watching her retreating figure, Lin Xiao, not knowing where he found the courage, confessed loudly.

He knew that if he didn't say these words now, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

This fervent and audacious confession, carried by the whistling wind on Fairy Cliff, eventually reached that peerlessly beautiful figure.

Xiao'er, actually, actually, I also...

No! How could the 'love' Xiao'er speaks of be what I'm thinking? I'm truly being an improper Master!

Never mind, never mind! It's best I leave this place quickly. I'm starting to act abnormally!

Xiao Hongling's cheeks were crimson as she fled back to her Blessed Abode.

After coming down from Fairy Cliff, Lin Xiao couldn't resist going to see his Second Junior Sister, Guo Yourong, and Third Junior Sister, Chu Youwei, to talk for a while.

This time, to his surprise, both junior sisters were exceptionally calm about the great event of tomorrow's Five Branches Tournament. They were completely unlike before, when they had tried everything to stop him and keep him away from Ye Chen. Instead, they now just told him to do his best!

This couldn't help but make Lin Xiao overturn his previous judgment. However, things had come to this point, and he couldn't dwell on it.

He heard from his two junior sisters that Ye Chen, that scoundrel, had actually claimed credit for killing the Great Witch Master in front of the Sect Leader and the Elders.

This undoubtedly made Lin Xiao quite furious.

What kind of damned idiot is this!

He had originally intended to go to Enlightenment Cliff on Dragon Head Peak to see if Jiang Yuan had returned safely, but in the end, he dismissed the thought. After all, Jiang Yuan rejecting the Five Branches Tournament and inexplicably appearing in Canglan City was already baffling enough. He didn't want any more problems to arise in tomorrow's Five Branches Tournament!

Inside the room, Lin Xiao hadn't slept all night. He was studying the match roster for tomorrow's Five Branches Tournament, which had just been sent over from Dragon Head Peak.

Just as in the original story, his battle with Ye Chen was scheduled as the fourth match tomorrow. Before that, his three junior sisters would each fight against disciples from Phoenix Caw Peak and Dragon Head Peak.

Since I have to lose for the sake of the mission, perhaps I can help my junior sisters win their matches and solidify their Dao Hearts?

Thinking this, a self-deprecating, bitter smile touched Lin Xiao's lips.

Indeed, I've already accepted this is a virtual world and I'm preparing to ascend, so why should I still care about what happens after I'm gone? Isn't this a complete contradiction in terms?

Just as his thoughts were in turmoil, the voice of his youngest junior brother, Huaizhen, came from outside:

"Eldest Senior Brother! The chicken soup is here!"

Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. With a mere thought, a vine materialized out of thin air and dispelled the restrictive ward he had placed on the door earlier. Now that he had the Spirit Formation Pearl, his Divine Skills and magical arts could be cast with a single thought.

A moment later, the door was pushed open.

A young man with an honest, square face entered, carrying a bowl of steaming hot chicken soup.

PFFT.

It's the Illusory Kun Chicken again, isn't it?

Lin Xiao let out a bitter chuckle. He really hadn't expected that his last meal before setting off would be this stuff. It was quite fitting, actually.

This time, however, he didn't refuse. Putting on the air of a gentle Eldest Senior Brother, he patted his junior brother's shoulder and, with a smile, drank the chicken soup in one go.

"Eldest Senior Brother, you're competing tomorrow, so Huaizhen thought he'd stew a bowl of chicken soup to boost your vitality."

"How does it taste? Is it up to my usual standard? Hehe~" Huaizhen said, scratching his head with a simple, honest look.

"Mm, not too salty, not too bland. The taste is excellent." Lin Xiao smiled faintly, looking seriously into the other's eyes. "Huaizhen, you came to the Qinglan Sect seeking the path to immortality, to cultivate The Great Path. Unexpectedly, after more than a dozen years, all you do day in and day out are these menial chores of taking care of people. These years..."

"Eldest Senior Brother has wronged you and also forced you to do many bad things. For that... I apologize to you!"

On the eve of departure, these words truly came from Lin Xiao's heart. He was not Ye Chen, that Long Aotian type who believed himself to be the center of the universe and everyone else mere dust. He had the heart of a normal person. Therefore, whether as the villain Lin Xiao or the transmigrator Lin Xiao, he felt he ought to apologize to this kind-hearted junior brother.

Unexpectedly, when Huaizhen heard this, he waved his hands in alarm, "No, no, no! Eldest Senior Brother, you mustn't say that! Huaizhen hasn't thanked you enough!"

"When I first entered the mountain, no one in the sect was willing to pay any attention to Huaizhen. Everyone mocked me for being stupid. Only Eldest Senior Brother recognized my worth and supported me, arranging for me to do various things, allowing me to gain experience and grow!"

"Look! Even someone with dull aptitude like me has now cultivated to the peak of Qi Cultivation, haven't I?"

"Therefore, Huaizhen will never forget Eldest Senior Brother's kindness, even in death!"

He chuckled, then turned to clear away the bowl and chopsticks, but the corners of his eyes were brimming with tears.

With Eldest Senior Brother's current fame and status in the sect, he still apologizes to a mere page boy like me and considers my feelings...

In this world, I'm afraid there's no better elder or big brother than him, right?

Eldest Senior Brother, don't worry! Ever since you left that flying sword to me, Huaizhen has been practicing with it every single moment! Tomorrow, when you duel Ye Chen, if you are truly caught off guard by that kid and lose your chance at victory, Huaizhen will definitely, even if it means death, protect your reputation!
