Chapter 340: He Is So Selfish

Shen Yunya’s frail body leaned against Xi Jin . She sobbed as she said, “Since Brother Jin says that girl is my sister, it must be her . No one in this world knows her better than you do . ”

“It has not been confirmed, so this is only a suspicion . Don’t be anxious, and we will look for her when you get better,” replied Xi Jin .

After hearing his comforting words, Shen Yunya calmed down considerably . She raised her head, and her pretty eyes looked at him in anticipation . “Brother Jin, why don’t you tell me more about my sister?”

Staring into her eyes, Xi Jin could not reject her . He nodded and said, “Her name is Tu Xiupei . She’s fifteen years old this year, and her powers have already reached the Advanced-stage Spiritual Master level . She is considered a genius there, and her personality seems similar to how she was in the past . Legend says that her fate is destined to be that of a phoenix who flies out of the Guiyuan Continent . However…”

“What?” Shen Yunya asked worriedly .

“I just feel like she isn’t as smart as she was before . Perhaps, other reasons have also led me to have some doubts . ” When Xin Jin recalled how Tu Xiupei looked, he did not feel any intense emotion . However, he had searched for so long, and she was undoubtedly the best fit he’d found so far .

Shen Yunya quietly listened to Xi Jin’s description of Tu Xiupei, and her face was grave as she weighed everything he’d said for clues .

“Ya’er, do you really think that she may be Dai’er?” Xi Jin turned to Shen Yunya for advice . He had been stationed elsewhere for ten years . He only saw Dai’er once a year when they spent a few days together . Yunya must know Dai’er better than him, so it was best to ask her .

Shen Yunya shook her head and replied, “I don’t know, but I can get the high priest to give another forecast . No matter the price, I will give Brother Jin an answer this time . The only thing is, I may not be able to wait until my sister returns . ”

“Ya’er…”

Shen Yunya stretched out her hands to cover Xi Jin’s mouth . There were tears in her eyes . She was still harboring hope . “Brother Jin, you don’t have to comfort me . My sister was so nice to me . These are all things that I should be doing . ”

“Don’t worry Ya’er . Tomorrow I will go and plead for a Quick Healing Pill, and we will discuss everything again when you are better . ” As he said this, Xi Jin lowered his head in shame . He was afraid to look directly at Shen Yunya . He was too selfish and wanted to know the outcome so badly that he was willing to hurt Ya’er in the process .

As he looked down, Xi Jin missed the flash of viciousness that Shen Yunya had expressed . How could Brother Jin be willing to sacrifice her for something so uncertain! It looked like she had once again underestimated Brother Jin’s love for Shen Qingdai .

It hadn’t been easy to get Shen Qingdai killed and to get Brother Jin all to herself . No one must be allowed to snatch Brother Jin away from her .

After staying for a while, Xi Jin left . He wanted to find a Quick Healing Pill to help Ya’er recuperate, and then…

Although this seemed very selfish, he did not have any other options . He was meant to let Ya’er down in this lifetime .

Once Xi Jin left, Shen Yunya lost her gentle and weak façade . However, her face remained pale as she laid back onto the chaise longue .

“Miss, do you think what the Crown Prince said…”

Shen Yunya raised her left hand . Looking at the pinkish scar on her wrist, a glimmer of coldness flashed in her eyes . “Send someone to investigate this Tu Xiupei . ”

She had brutally cut herself and bled so much . She had not done this merely to entice Brother Jin into sparing a thought for her . She had done it to make him utterly devoted to her .

“But, what if it’s real?” the maid could not help but ask .

Shen Yunya’s sinister eyes were like a terrifying abyss . Her lightly curved lips were full of ruthlessness as she said, “To make someone suffer, one first has to give him hope . Then, let him fall deep into hopelessness . ”
