The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 268 Parting ways
"Why..." (confused)

"Why..." (sad)

"Why did you lie to me?" (Angry)
How good Li Jian is to Xia Yu is how miserable she is now.

Seeing Xia Yu was emotional, Li Jian hugged her and asked, "Tell Second Senior Brother, what did you hear? Don't you trust Second Senior Brother the most? How could Second Senior Brother lie to you?"

Xia Yu slowly pushed him away and questioned, "Then tell me, Second Senior Brother, did you... did you arrest the senior brothers? Did you... take the 'marriage rings' from the senior brothers? Did you confuse right and wrong and say that the culprit was the Seventeenth Senior Brother?"

When Li Jian heard this, a hint of "surprise" flashed in his eyes, and the feeling of "unhappiness" arose in his heart again.

"The person I suspected that day was Senior Brother Seventeen. I was so anxious that I cried, but Senior Brother Two joked that it was actually you. Unexpectedly, that sentence turned out to be true." Xia Yu cried as he spoke, feeling a pain in his heart.

Li Jian's expression changed from "cold" to "gentle" again. He hated the person who told Xia Yu everything so much that he clenched his fists unconsciously.

"Yes, it's me."

Li Jian admitted frankly. Seeing Xia Yu crying so hard, he cast a spell to get her a tissue from a distance and comforted her: "But, little sister, Second Brother is sincere to you and really treats you as my little sister."

"Since you came to the mortal world, have you spent the money that Second Brother earned carelessly? You bought villas for people, you bought stores for people, you invested in other people's TV series with a wave of your hand, and Second Brother has never felt sorry for the money."

"You want to fall in love, even if that person is someone else's destined person, Second Brother never stopped you, and even helped you hide it... You and Luo Fan were secretly dating in this villa, and I made room for you."

"You want the 'Love Water'? I will go back to Heaven to get it back for you. Even if it was used against the rules on the underworld princess Yan Lan, I will never let you face it alone."

"If you need me, I'll be here whenever you call. If you're in danger, I'll stand in front of you. Even if I really captured a lot of fellow disciples, aren't you sitting here peacefully?"

Every word Li Jian said revealed his "sincerity" towards Xia Yu, but at this moment Xia Yu could not hear a word he said.

Seeing that Xia Yu was "unmoved", Li Jian couldn't coax her anymore and was too lazy to coax her anymore, so he said bluntly: "Since you know, I don't have to hide it from you. I didn't want you to know at first, but I just hoped that things between you and me could be the same as before. Since you insist on breaking everything, I might as well tell you that I was the one who captured the man and I took the 'Marriage Ring'."

"Oh...your marriage bracelet is also here with me." Li Jian said calmly, as if he was talking about a "trivial matter".

This news was like a bolt from the blue. Xia Yu was so shocked that her face twitched and her eyes turned bloodshot. She said with a heart as heavy as a rock, "So...so the first one to be taken was my 'Marriage Bracelet'? Haha...hahahaha, Second Brother took my bracelet, but as if nothing had happened, he blamed Seventeenth Brother for not taking it back, and used this as evidence to make me suspect Seventeenth Brother. He even...acted out his own direction and acted out the scene of Seventeenth Brother fighting with you for me and the Big Brother..."

"Because I don't want my junior sister to become my enemy." Li Jian explained.

"Second Senior Brother really loves me!" Xia Yu cried and suddenly smiled bitterly, "If Second Senior Brother hadn't secretly taken my 'Marriage Bracelet', how could I have been injured and lost my magic power, how could I have been defeated everywhere, and how could I have waited for Second Senior Brother to risk his life to help me?"

After hearing this, Li Jian's face finally turned dark uncontrollably.

"Even if you have the 'Marriage Bracelet' in your hand, what can you do?" Li Jian asked dejectedly.

Hearing this, Xia Yu vowed: "If I have the 'Marriage Bracelet' in my hand, I will definitely stop you from continuing to betray your master and the Heavenly Court!"

Li Jian was so angry that he opened his palm and took out Xia Yu's "marriage bracelet". He looked at the bracelet and said to Xia Yu with great sorrow: "I'll give you a chance. You can choose between mine and your 'marriage bracelet'."

"Are you... willing to return it to me?" Xia Yu asked doubtfully.

Li Jian seemed to have guessed Xia Yu's choice. He sighed and added, "If you choose the 'Marriage Bracelet', I will no longer be your second senior brother. Then, I will take back all my sincerity towards my junior sister. Think it over carefully."

"I choose..." "Even if you get the 'Marriage Bracelet' back, you are not my opponent and you can't stop me. The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother are not in Heaven at the moment, and neither are Yang Jian and Roaring Sky Dog. Everything in Heaven is under my control now, and it is impossible for you to go back to Heaven to file a complaint. By the time Heaven discovers the abnormality, it will be at least half a year after the mortal world, and by then my plan will have been completed..."

"I choose 'Marriage Bracelet'."

Xia Yu's answer echoed in Li Jian's ears. Li Jian became angry and let the "marriage bracelet" fall to the ground.

Xia Yu quickly cast a spell to stop the falling "marriage bracelet" and put it back on her wrist after a long time.

As soon as the "Marriage Bracelet" returned, Xia Yu felt that his whole body became light and his fingertips were filled with powerful strength.

Her magic power has truly returned.

Although her magic power was restored, her 2,520 years of cultivation was incomparable to Li Jian's 76,000 years of cultivation.

Apart from anything else... at least her ability to protect herself has improved, and by avoiding Li Jian, she can get some things done.

"Go!" Li Jian looked at Xia Yu coldly. Seeing her take back the "marriage bracelet", he smiled and said sternly, "From now on, our brother-sister relationship is severed. After we leave this villa today, you and I will officially be in opposition."

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother..."

"You're welcome, and don't call me Second Senior Brother in the future. I didn't check your memory because I knew roughly that it was Bai Yu or Gu Baili who secretly helped you. I returned your bracelet because your magic power of more than 2,500 years is of no use to me."

With a bang, the door opened.

"If we meet again, you will be treated the same as them." Li Jian said and turned his back, so Xia Yu could not see his expression.

What he meant was that the next time he met her, he would lock her up like his fellow disciples.

Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, but turned around and left the villa.

From the moment she stepped out of the villa gate, the password of the villa gate changed rapidly.

From now on, Xia Yu will have to avoid her dear second brother all the time.

……

Xia Yu came to the house that Luo Fan had originally rented. She didn't know that Luo Fan had already bought this house full of memories.

At the same time, Li Jian took back the Nanshan Villa and wanted to recover all the expenses that had been paid with his bank card.

Qu Si Ning was caught off guard when Li Jian took back her store. She learned that Xia Yu and Li Jian had a falling out, and she didn't have any thoughts about having the store taken back, but she was a little reluctant.

Lan Yue was fired, and the court urged his family to return the "compensation" for the villa.

Xia Yu was also asked to return the investment he made in a TV series filmed by Meng Xiaodong. The crew was unable to pay it back, so they changed the name of the investor. If the TV series becomes a hit in the future, the investment income will belong to Li Jian.

Li Jian once helped Xia Yu to get an ID card and household registration booklet in the mortal world. At this time, he reported Xia Yu for "not paying back his debts" and put Xia Yu on the "dishonest list", which prevented Xia Yu from spending normally in the mortal world.
