"Elders, the young masters have arrived." A servant approached the four elders and said. "Hmm, let them in!" Elder Yu Mo said.
———— Please comment! ————"Grandpa, what brings you here?" You Yun asked, standing before Elder Ling Ye. "Please sit down!" Elder Ling Ye said, looking at the three people standing before him.
The three exchanged glances and then sat down. "We've come to find out. You Yun, are you with that Lan Ying Lin?" Elder Ling Ye asked. "Grandpa, I don't want to hide it from you. Yes, I'm with Ying'er." You Yun said firmly.
"You scoundrel! Didn't I warn you not to fall in love with anyone before Tong'er returns?" Elder Ling Ye slammed his hand on the table angrily. "Grandpa, I love her. I will never let go of her hand in this life. So, no matter what you say, I will not give up." After saying this, You Yun stood up and left.
"That unfilial son!" Elder Lingye said angrily, pointing at Youyun's retreating figure. "Lingye, calm down first," Elder Yumo comforted her. "Ziyu, do you like Tong'er?" Elder Yumo asked.
Cixuan trembled slightly after Elder Yumo asked that question. She then looked at Ziyu, waiting for his answer. "I... I don't know," Ziyu said shyly. Since Bingtong came to this school, Ziyu had hardly spoken to her, and the two weren't very familiar with each other.
"Cixuan, do you like Ziyu?" Elder Yumo turned her gaze to Cixuan. "I... I like him," Cixuan said after thinking for a moment. Yes, that's right, she liked Ziyu. She had liked Ziyu for a long time.
Ziyu looked at her in disbelief after hearing Cixuan's answer. "So, Zi Yu, do you like Ci Xuan?" Elder Yu Mo didn't seem surprised by Ci Xuan's answer, as if she already knew.
"I like her, but it's just a brother's affection for his sister," Zi Yu said. But this answer made Ci Xuan's heart sink to the bottom. 'Just a sister?' Ci Xuan thought, looking at Zi Yu.
"Alright. Then our four great families will choose you and Bing Tong for our marriage alliance, which happens once every fifty years. I hope you can cultivate your relationship during this time," Elder Yu Mo said after thinking for a moment.
"But will Bing Tong agree?" Zi Yu asked the elders. "This... we'll figure something out. Alright, you can go now!" the elders said after thinking for a moment. "Okay, then we're leaving." Zi Yu pulled Ci Xuan up and left.

"Zi Yu, don't you like me?" Standing outside the elders' hall, Ci Xuan shook off Zi Yu's hand and asked. "Xuan, I'm sorry." He didn't know what else to say besides "I'm sorry." "I don't want your apology. You know I've loved you all these years. Why pretend you don't know?" Ci Xuan said, somewhat agitated.
"Yes, I knew you liked me a long time ago. But, you know, I promised your brother I would take good care of you. So, I'm sorry, I can only treat you as a sister." Zi Yu said resolutely.
"Brother?" Ci Xuan said blankly.
"Do you remember? After your brother died, I received a letter. In it, he wrote that he wanted me to take good care of you." Thinking of that letter, Zi Yu felt a thousand emotions. Sadness, pain. The helplessness of losing a good friend.
"Why did you have to do this?" Thinking of her brother, tears streamed down Ci Xuan's face. She still couldn't face her brother's death.
"Xuan, I don't want to say anything. I can only treat you as a sister. So, I'm sorry. If you don't take back your love, then I will become even more cruel." Zi Yu said these words cruelly, then turned and left.
Ci Xuan watched Zi Yu's departing figure, opened her mouth, but couldn't find the words to say.
