Zhao Shuning slapped her forehead.
She felt that after spending so much time with Luo Feiyan recently, she had become stupid.
Luo Feiyan was a woman, so naturally a bunch of wildflowers could make her happy for a long time.
She just naturally assumed that everyone was so easy to please.
"Actually, this parrot was just something I randomly bought at the market. I can't give it away. If you don't like it, I won't give it to you."
What was she doing being so overly sympathetic?
"I like it. I really like it."
As if afraid that Zhao Shuning would regret it, Xia Qingyan snatched the parrot right away.
This parrot wasn't afraid of people at all. Without a cage, it didn't fly away either.
"Thank you."
Zhao Shuning was a bit stunned.
She spread out her hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay."
After saying that, feeling she had done enough, she turned around and left.
By the time Xia Qingyan looked up, there was no trace of the red - veiled woman around.
As Zhao Shuning walked, she murmured to herself, "I only took a few spirit stones from that person, and I even threw in a parrot. Zhao Shuning, are you stupid?"
After returning home in annoyance.
Luo Feiyan had already prepared some simple meals and was waiting for her.
Seeing her come back, Luo Feiyan gave her a charming smile.
"You're back."
"Yeah."
Zhao Shuning said, "I originally brought you a gift, but on the way, I saw a poor man. I was afraid he would commit suicide, so I gave that thing to him."
Luo Feiyan was taken aback for a moment, and the smile in her eyes grew even stronger.
"Actually, you don't have to always think of me. Every time you go out, you bring me a gift."
"It's just a casual thing."
Zhao Shuning sat down and had a simple meal with Luo Feiyan.
Early the next morning, Zhao Shuning almost overslept. When she was about to leave, Luo Feiyan carefully tidied up her clothes for her.
Seeing the bead around Zhao Shuning's neck, Luo Feiyan was curious and casually said, "This bead of yours is a bit broken."
"Yeah."
"Otherwise, leave it with me. I'll see if I can find a way to repair it."
But Zhao Shuning shook her head and tightly held the purple bead around her neck.
She said, "This bead is made of a special material. It can't be repaired."
"You care a lot about this bead?"
Zhao Shuning gave a gentle smile.
"Yeah. It was a gift from my elder brother."
"You have an elder brother?"
Luo Feiyan asked in surprise. She had never heard Zhao Shuning mention that she had an elder brother.
"Yeah."
"Your elder brother must be a really good person, right?"
"Yeah. He's the best elder brother in the world."
Zhao Shuning smiled sweetly and then continued, "He always left the best things for me. When my childhood was gloomy, he took care of me like a father."
Luo Feiyan said with a gentle smile, "If I have the chance, I must meet him."
A hint of sadness appeared in Zhao Shuning's eyes.
"That's impossible."
"What?"
"I'll never be able to see him in this lifetime. He's gone."
"Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't know."
Zhao Shuning forced a smile. Even now, just mentioning Zhao Huai still made her heart ache faintly.
The shadow left by Zhao Huai's death would probably take many years to fade away.
"Sister, from now on, I'll be by your side. Don't worry. When I'm capable enough in the future, I'll definitely be the one who can protect you the most."
Zhao Shuning looked at Luo Feiyan and said, "Then it's a deal. You have to remember me in the future."
"I'll forget everyone, but I'll never forget you, sister."
Zhao Shuning let out a sigh of relief.
Then she looked out of the window.
"Oops!"
"I'm going to be late!"
Once she started talking to Luo Feiyan, she forgot about the time. By now, the elders' inspection must have already started.
"Sister, you—"
The words "slow down" hadn't even come out when Zhao Shuning's figure had already disappeared in front of Luo Feiyan.
After Zhao Shuning left.
The smile on Luo Feiyan's face still hadn't faded.
She stretched out her hand.
Looking at the weak spiritual power in her right palm.
It seemed that ever since the mark appeared on her back, spiritual power had started to slowly emerge in her body.
Luo Feiyan placed her hand on the wheelchair wheel and slowly pushed it forward.
She came in front of the bronze mirror.
Sister had thought very carefully. Knowing she was a girl, she even prepared a bronze mirror for her.
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror.
Luo Feiyan was lost in thought.
Half of her face was still swollen, but she could still vaguely see her original appearance.
This face looked nine - tenths like sister's, but their personalities were completely different.
Sister was so powerful.
Both her spiritual power and mental strength were stronger than hers.
If only she could become powerful one day.
By then, her parents would be proud of her.
She would become sister's greatest support.
Wu Xuan was right. If she was weak, then on this Nine - State Continent, she would only be at the mercy of others.
She, Luo Feiyan, had been kind for so long, but all she got in return was contempt and humiliation.
After experiencing so many things at Changkong Academy, the seed of hatred had long been sown in Luo Feiyan's heart.
If kindness and tolerance couldn't bring equal treatment, then in the future, she would use all means at her disposal to reach the highest position, and then look down on the world with arrogance.
Luo Feiyan slowly stroked her face.
Would such a day really come?
At this time, the rabbit raised by Zhao Shuning ran to Luo Feiyan's feet.
She smiled.
She bent down and picked up the rabbit.
"Sister raised you to amuse me. Little rabbit, you have to be good in the future and don't make sister angry."
The rabbit broke free from Luo Feiyan's hands and ran towards the bamboo forest.
Luo Feiyan looked out of the door.
She pondered for a while.
She supported herself with the wheelchair and slowly stood up.
The muscles in her calves ached sharply.
Luo Feiyan gritted her teeth.
This bit of pain was nothing.
If she wanted to become a powerful person in the future, she would have to go through much more.
One step, two steps, three steps—
Luo Feiyan walked farther and farther, and her steps became more and more steady.
During this process, she fell several times, but every time she gritted her teeth and stood up again.
After practicing for a whole day, she sat in the yard.
She opened a mental method book left by Zhao Shuning and started to read it.
Sister had set up a protective shield in this yard. No spiritual pharmacist below the Eight - Phase level could get in.
Looking at the handwriting.
Luo Feiyan gently stroked it.
By the way, until now, she still didn't know what sister's real name was.
She looked so much like her.
She had never heard her parents mention having other children either.
Except?
Yes.
Except for the infant who was taken away by the people of Loulan when she was just a month old—Luo Qiu.
Could it be?
Was she the nemesis of Ruoqiang, Luo Qiu?
Luo Feiyan shook her head.
If sister was the nemesis of Ruoqiang, she wouldn't have saved her.
