Chapter 2404: Why Don’t You Help?
Yi Liang didn’t even know what to say. He just scratched his nose and opened the door.
The door creaked open, revealing no one in the yard.
It seemed like after he killed Yi Xue, no one dared to occupy this house anymore.
The yard was a bit deserted. Since it was summer, the weeds were also overgrown.
The house had been renovated by Yi Xue before, so it wasn’t all that shabby. Otherwise, it would look like a proper haunted house.
Yi Liang drew water from the well and cleaned the house.
Ning Shu looked at Yi Rou who was sitting still in the chair and asked, “Why don’t you help?”
Yi Rou bit her lip and whispered, “I don’t know how to. Xiao Cui usually does these things for me.”
“It’s okay, I’ll clean up,” Yi Liang said.
Facing Yi Rou, Yi Liang always seemed timid.
Regardless, Ning Shu didn’t feel that Yi Liang owed anything to Yi Rou.
Since Yi Rou disappeared, Yi Liang had lived a life of starvation as he guarded this house, all while harboring guilt towards her and constantly yearning for their family to reunite.
Although he eventually encountered Ning Shu, he’d suffered and experienced a lot of torment by then.
He’d gone through the trouble of traveling thousands of miles to get to the Yinyang Sect to save his sister, without even stopping for any rest.
Meanwhile, although it came at a price, Yi Rou lived the life of a princess.
Since she left the Yinyang Sect, Yi Rou only wanted to return and didn’t ask about their parents even once.
Sometimes innocence could be cruel.
The people of the Yinyang Sect were still the most hateful ones, though. They were the ones who deliberately made Yi Rou like this so that Yi Rou regarded them as her spiritual pillars.
Now that Yi Rou had left them, she felt at a loss.
“Brother, can you take me back to the Yinyang Sect? I want to bid goodbye to my master and senior brothers.” Yi Rou stared at Yi Liang with watery eyes.
Yi Liang clutched the rag tightly and was speechless for a long time.
“Brother, I beg you. After all, Master had raised me for so long. No matter what, I can’t just leave like this. My senior brothers were all also very kind to me,” Yi Rou begged.
The little fox was the one to reply angrily. “We almost died there! We barely managed to escape, and now we’re going back? Are you guys tired of living?”
After taking a trip around in the Yinyang Sect, the little fox was almost frightened to the point he wet his pants. He had finally realized that his illusions were useless against those who were stronger than him, even if they were only stronger by just a little.
The little fox didn’t even want to hear anything about the Yinyang Sect right now.
“Your brother has worked so hard to rescue you, yet you want to go back. What exactly are you thinking?” The little fox nibbled at a candied fruit and stared at Yi Rou.
Yi Rou was flustered and said, “I didn’t ask for Brother to save me. I, I was living well…”
When Yi Liang heard Yi Rou’s words, his body trembled from the shock. His expression was complicated and incomprehensible.
“Don’t you want to live with me?” Yi Liang asked.
Yi Rou lowered her head and said nothing.
The atmosphere was awkward and tense.
Yi Liang turned around and went out to buy food.
He came back after he bought some vegetables and meat. He then went into the kitchen to cook again without saying a word.
Yi Liang cooked a table full of dishes, put a bowl of rice in front of Yi Rou, and gently said, “Rourou, I know you are just temporarily unused to this life. I know things will get better in the future.”
Yi Liang took two bowls, filled them with some food, and put them in front of Ning Shu and the little fox.
Ning Shu and the little fox ate without minding the siblings’ affairs.
Yi Rou had a very small appetite. She didn’t even finish half a bowl of rice. Her mood was also not the greatest right now.
Yi Liang sighed and cleaned the table.
Ning Shu walked up to Yi Rou and asked, “What kind of cultivation method were you cultivating in the Yinyang Sect?”
