Chapter 129 Congratulations!
Thinking of the scenes that had just happened, Shen Qingyao felt a surge of heat rush to her cheeks, her face turning as red and lovely as a ripe apple.
At this moment, she was so shy that she could hardly contain herself. She could only lower her head, like a child who had done something wrong, and dared not raise her head to look Si Jingnian in the eye.
Whether in her past life or this one, having lived two lifetimes as a human, this was the first time Shen Qingyao had ever tasted such a heart-stirring feeling, which filled her heart with unprecedented panic and bewilderment.
Si Jingnian, on the other hand, took in Shen Qingyao's shy demeanor.
The doting smile on his lips never faded for a moment; on the contrary, it grew stronger with time.
His deep, pool-like eyes revealed his undisguised love and tenderness for Shen Qingyao.
Just then, Shen Qingyao keenly noticed that Si Jingnian's burning and intense gaze was fixed on her.
Startled, she dared not linger any longer. With a wave of her hand, she swiftly gathered up Ruan Hongshuang's bright yellow curtain, and then, like a frightened deer, she ran towards Ruan Hongshuang without looking back.
"Senior Sister, your things..."
After running up to Ruan Hongshuang, Shen Qingyao kept her head down and spoke in a voice barely audible.
At the same time, she handed the object in her hands with trembling hands to Ruan Hongshuang, afraid that they would see her face, which was already flushed red.
Upon seeing this, Ruan Hongshuang couldn't help but smile slightly.
With a half-smile, she reached out and took the item from Shen Qingyao, her beautiful eyes fixed intently on her blushing junior sister, her gossipy expression revealing her true nature.
At this moment, Shen Qingyao's soul had been completely stabilized and was no longer as weak as before.
The rampant Yin energy that had once filled Si Jingnian's body had long since vanished without a trace.
Given the circumstances, even without much guessing, everyone could easily tell what had just happened between the two of them.
"Junior Sister, your senior sister must congratulate you first!" Ruan Hongshuang said with a teasing smile.
Ruan Hongshuang's tone carried a hint of teasing, but her genuine joy for Shen Qingyao was also evident.
In fact, she had long realized that her lovely junior sister had always held a place for Si Jingnian in her heart.
Unfortunately, the junior sister was too slow to react when it came to matters of the heart, so she failed to realize her feelings for a long time.
Now, the two of them have finally become husband and wife, which is truly a great joy.
What's even more gratifying is that Shen Qingyao's soul has stabilized and is no longer as fragile and easily scattered as before.
The yin energy within Si Jingnian's body was completely cleared away, and he radiated unprecedented vitality and brilliance. Thus, everyone was happy!
When Shen Qingyao heard Ruan Hongshuang's teasing remark, her pretty face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe apple.
She lowered her head shyly, burying it even deeper, and didn't dare to respond with a single word.
In contrast, Si Jingnian appeared much more poised and confident.
At this moment, he showed no trace of the yin energy that had just invaded his body. On the contrary, he was full of energy and radiant, looking even more spirited than before entering the ancient tomb!
Faced with Ruan Hongshuang's words, which were half-joking and half-blessing, Si Jingnian nodded without hesitation and sincerely expressed his apology and gratitude to her:
"Thank you, Senior Sister! Please rest assured, Senior Sister, I will take good care of A-Yao with all my heart. I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance in this life, nor will I let her down!"
When Si Jingnian's sincere and resounding promise reached Ruan Hongshuang's ears, the little bit of hostility she still had towards him dissipated considerably.
After all, for Si Jingnian to say such sincere words, he must be serious and responsible when it comes to relationships.
Both her and their master Xia Ran would be gratified that their junior sister had found a man she could entrust her life to.
Thinking of this, Ruan Hongshuang nodded slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
"Si Jingnian, Yaoyao is our junior sister of Taiqing Temple. She is a little girl whom all of us have pampered since childhood. In all of our hearts, she is not only our junior sister, but also our own sister and someone our master regards as his own daughter. If one day you no longer love her, please send her back to Taiqing Temple and do not hurt her."
Ruan Hongshuang's tone was extremely sincere. She slowly shifted her gaze to Shen Qingyao, her eyes containing a variety of complex emotions.
There was a hint of relief in his eyes, as if he saw that the little girl who had always followed behind him had grown up.
However, at the same time, some worry and sadness were also revealed.
Looking back, that innocent little girl who always skipped and hopped around following me has grown into a graceful young woman in the blink of an eye.
Time flies by like a white horse galloping past a crack in the wall, leaving one with countless emotions.
However, at this moment, Ruan Hongshuang couldn't quite put her finger on where the bitterness in her heart came from.
The feeling is like a child you've raised with great care for many years suddenly growing up and becoming sensible and well-behaved, but at the same time, no longer relying on or needing you as before.
From now on, the little girl who they all watched grow up little by little has truly become sensible.
However, in the new world that is gradually unfolding for her, those who once accompanied her as she grew up will probably no longer be able to occupy the most important position.
Now, someone has quietly entered her life, replacing them and becoming an irreplaceable presence in her life.
Thinking of this, Ruan Hongshuang couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow, and her eyes involuntarily reddened slightly.
Just then, Shen Qingyao, who had been silent all along, finally raised her head and met Ruan Hongshuang's gaze.
When she heard those words from the other person, she also felt an indescribable bittersweet and annoyed feeling welling up in her heart.
"Senior Sister..."
When Shen Qingyao's gaze fell upon Ruan Hongshuang's slightly reddened eyes, her heart clenched, as if pulled by an invisible force, and her own eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
She knew that she had grown up under the careful care of her fellow disciples at Taiqing Temple since she was a child.
In their eyes, she was not just a junior sister, but a precious younger sister like a close relative or a beloved daughter.
I still remember when I learned that she was the daughter of the Shen family and needed to leave Taiqing Temple to return to the Shen family, the entire Taiqing Temple was shrouded in a heavy sorrow for a long month.
For thirty days and nights, no laughter or joy could be heard in Taiqing Temple; instead, there were only endless sighs and silently flowing tears.
On the day she left Taiqing Temple, although no one appeared in the farewell procession, she knew very well that her beloved fellow disciples must have been hiding in some corner, secretly grieving and shedding tears, unable to bear to face this heartbreaking scene of parting.
At this moment, looking at the sentimental expression on Ruan Hongshuang's face, as if she were watching her own daughter finally grow up, Shen Qingyao felt neither surprise nor resentment.
Because she understood that this deep affection had already taken root in their hearts, becoming an inseparable bond.
