Even though he has been practicing in the secret realm for more than a thousand years, he still clearly remembers the scene when Lu Youyou was brought back to Scarlet Xiao Sect by Chu Yingwu for the first time.
Just because at that time, he was still thinking about Chu Chu and always hoped that little junior sister Chu Chu would appear in front of him.
When Leng Buding saw Chu Yingwu bringing back a person who looked similar to Chu Chu, his heart beat wildly and he thought Chu Chu had returned to his childhood.
But his excitement was quickly suppressed by him. He clearly realized that Lu Youyou was not Chu Chu at all. The reason why Chu Yingwu brought her back was just because of her face.
Duan Xingshu felt melancholy in his heart. The world had changed. How much he looked down on Lu Youyou at the beginning, now he cares about it more.
Chu Yingwu flew to the top of Chixiao Peak and stood in front of Duan Xingshu.
Duan Xingshu's feelings for Chu Yingwu are complicated.
Chu Yingwu did a lot of wrong things. Before Chu Chu came back, his feelings for Lu Youyou were not real, but they were passable. However, after Chu Chu came back, his attitude changed 180 degrees. See more of Lu Youyou.
Youyou felt it was an eyesore at first glance.
Chu Yingwu was also pitiful. The Chu Chu he thought was his eyeball was not his biological daughter.
No matter how much of a bastard Chu Yingwu was, he once sincerely taught Duan Xingshu how to practice.
Duan Xingshu saluted Chu Yingwu and said calmly:
"Master."
Chu Yingwu's face was filled with light, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood.
"Xingshu, her name is Lu Youyou, and she will be your junior sister from today on."
Duan Xingshu never took his eyes away from Lu Youyou since he saw him.
Youyou, who had just been brought back to the sect, was too thin, a dry ball, and looked really pitiful.
Duan Xingshu wished he could snatch Lu Youyou away from Chu Yingwu's arms, hold her in his arms and caress her gently.
Now that I think about it, it's a pity that he didn't seem to have hugged Youyou when she was little. By the time he wanted to hug her, she had grown into a big girl.
Lu Youyou, who was only five years old and very timid, huddled in Chu Yingwu's arms and looked at Duan Xingshu cautiously.
Seeing Duan Xingshu's eyes fixed on her for a moment, the little person's body tensed up and looked very nervous.
She is dirty, smelly and ugly. Does the good-looking big brother opposite her not like her? Does he dislike her?
Just as she was thinking this, a man's nice, deep voice came to her ears.
"Welcome little junior sister Lu Youyou to Scarlet Sky Sect, this lovely senior brother will definitely protect you."
Lu Youyou thought he heard wrongly.
He said she was cute? He also wanted to protect her? Is this true?
She was just a little beggar. She was lucky to be brought back to the Immortal Cultivation Sect by her master. She was uneasy along the way, fearing that the monks in the world of Cultivation would not like her.
Unexpectedly, the first man she saw after returning to the sect showed kindness and concern to her.
The man who claims to be her senior brother should really welcome her and like her, right? His eyes are free from any impurities and are even clearer and flawless than the eyes of her master.
Her intuition told her that she could trust the man's words.
Lu Youyou smiled at Duan Xingshu. The smile of a five-year-old child was so innocent that it made Duan Xingshu feel distressed.
Yoyo has never done anything wrong from beginning to end.
But whether it was him in the first life or he in the second life, he had hurt Yuyou.
In the first life, Yuyou's appearance was ruined, and in the second life, he pointed a sword at Yuyou and wanted to kill her.
Looking back, I feel that I am really not a human being.
Duan Xingshu knew that he was in an illusion. He wondered if the illusion brought him back to before everything happened to make up for the regrets in his heart.
Although the people and objects appearing in the fantasy were all fake, Duan Xingshu still hoped that if he could do it again, he could change the suffering that Yuyou suffered.
He stretched out his hand towards Lu Youyou: "Elder brother wants to hug you, is that okay?"
His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing Lu Youyou.
Lu Youyou stared at the long white finger in front of her.
The eldest brother is not only good-looking and gentle, but even his fingers are like carefully carved works of art.
It's hard not to like such a good person. Lu Youyou tentatively stretched out his little hand and touched Duan Xingshu's fingertips.
Every move she made was cautious, like a frightened little beast, afraid that she would make something out of line.
The more she behaves like this, the more Duan Xingshu feels distressed.
He tightened his fingers and held Lu Youyou's little hand in his palm.
Lu Youyou could feel the warmth coming from Duan Xingshu. It was such a warmth that she had never felt before. It made her feel safer than Chu Yingwu's chest.
Lu Youyou was encouraged and stretched out her other hand.
"Elder brother, give me a hug."
Duan Xingshu hugged Lu Youyou into his arms without hesitation. He wanted to tighten his arms, but was afraid of suffocating Lu Youyou.
The child's body is so soft, it seems that if he exerts just a little force, her life will end.
He hugged Yuyou, who was only five years old. She made a living by begging in the mortal world. She was looked down upon and endured hunger until she finally reached the age of five.
Just thinking about it, Duan Xingshu's nose started to feel sore.
He patted Lu Youyou's back, and his body language expressed his love for Lu Youyou, a freshly minted junior sister.
Chu Yingwu saw this and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Chu Yingwu's cold voice immediately appeared in Duan Xingshu's mind.
"Xingshu, you have to remember that even if she looks like Chu Chu, she is not Chu Chu. Don't completely mistake Lu Youyou for Chu Chu just because you miss Chu Chu too much. Lu Youyou is just a substitute."
Chu Yingwutian's shameless words made Duan Xingshu feel ridiculous, but he did not refute.
Since Chu Yingwu cares so much about Chu Chu, he might as well find an opportunity to get rid of Chu Chu to avoid causing trouble to Youyou in the future.
There is also the adulterer and adulterer Yuanyang Daojun and Liu Han'er, who have been sleeping in the library of the Chixiao Sect for hundreds of years. It's time to go see the King of Hell.
After Chu Yingwu warned Duan Xingshu, he looked at Lu Youyou again and left.
Duan Xingshu and Lu Youyou were left alone on the top of Chixiao Peak.
Lu Youyou kept smiling at Duan Xingshu. She didn't know what to say other than laughing. After all, there is nothing wrong with smiling when you see someone.
Her smile was meant to please, something she learned when she was begging in the mortal world. Only in this way could she attract pity from others and give her a few coins.
Duan Xingshu felt even more sad. He rubbed Lu Youyou's face, shattering all the flattery on her face.
"Yuyou, are you hungry?"
"Not hungry." The little girl immediately shook her head.
But she looked sallow and thin, which was caused by not eating enough for a long time. Duan Xingshu's eyes fell on her belly, which was so flat that it was almost sunken. How could she not be hungry?
Duan Xingshu's face looked a little ugly.
Did Chu Yingwu really not see that Youyou was hungry, or did he see it but didn't want to treat her well?
Based on Duan Xingshu's understanding of Chu Yingwu, the second possibility is more likely.
