After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 396 Sisterly Love

Hearing hurried footsteps approaching from afar, Shen Xu took a deep breath, slowly opened his eyes, and then struggled to sit up again.

After a while, the three women who rushed over saw Shen Xu breathing steadily and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Shen Xu, are you alright?" Bai Lu asked cautiously.

"Sorry to have worried you, but a simple improvement in talent won't do anything to me," Shen Xu replied with a smile.

"You're so stubborn! I could hear your screams from miles away. I'd feel guilty for the rest of my life if something really happened to you." Bai Lu's eyes shimmered in the moonlight.

Hearing Bai Lu's slightly choked voice, Shen Xu fell silent. "The most difficult thing to bear is the kindness of a beautiful woman; the ancients were right." However, he was destined to be unable to reciprocate Bai Lu's feelings.

"I'm really fine. Besides, you didn't force me to take the Three-Turn Marrow Cultivation Pill. As an adult, I have the ability to take responsibility for my choices, and the final result was pretty good, wasn't it?"

"That's different. I'm here to take responsibility for you."

“If you’re going to take responsibility for me, then go back to sleep. I need to rest now; talking to you all is tiring.”

"Promise me you won't rush into the Qi Sea Realm, okay? At least wait until your body has fully recovered, otherwise I'll sit here with you until dawn," Li Xiaoyi suddenly said.

Shen Xu was somewhat taken aback. As expected, Li Xiaoyi understood him best. "Alright! I promise I won't rush into the Qi Sea Realm before my body has fully recovered."

After the three women walked away, Shen Xu collapsed to the ground. An extreme sense of weakness surged through his body like a tidal wave, accompanied by wave after wave of intense dizziness that made him feel as if the whole world was spinning. This time, he was unable to stop his consciousness from succumbing to the shock.

Some time later, Guan Bi, who had come to the ancient forest again, immediately saw Shen Xu lying unconscious on the ground not far away.

Her expression changed instantly, and she hurriedly came to Shen Xu's side. She saw that Shen Xu's eyes were closed, his face was as pale as paper, and the green vitality around him was continuously flowing into his body.

Guan Bi dared not delay for a moment, and gently placed her jade hand on Shen Xu's wrist, beginning to carefully examine the condition inside his body.

However, the results of her investigation made her heart sink. She discovered that Shen Xu's physical condition was extremely poor. There were many tiny cracks in his internal organs, bones, and meridians.

Although she knew that the effects of the Three-Turn Marrow Refining Pill were very strong, she did not expect it to be so domineering. If it weren't for the continuous life force of the ancient forest repairing Shen Xu's body, his body would definitely not have been able to withstand the ravages and destruction of such medicinal effects, and he would probably have exploded and died long ago.

If Shen Xu's meridians hadn't actually been expanded to the width befitting a Rank 1 talent, she would have doubted whether Shen Xu had actually taken a Three-Turn Marrow Cultivation Pill.

Fortunately, the cracks were very small, and with the vitality of the ancient forest as a guarantee, as long as Shen Xu could recuperate here in peace for a period of time, he would surely be able to recover completely in time.

Thinking of this, Guan Bi breathed a sigh of relief, then carefully helped Shen Xu up. Then, as if she had thought of something, she finally gently put Shen Xu down and left the ancient forest.

After Guan Bi left, the Qiling White Crane came to Shen Xu's side. Of course, it could see that the girls in Qinglingxi all had feelings for Shen Xu. But even as an outsider, it couldn't make a choice, let alone Shen Xu, who was in the middle of it all!

"Sigh! Shen Xu, how do you plan to end this? You should choose Xiao Yi! After all, she can support both of us, and I like Xiao Yi very much, but she has a very cold personality."

Ye Zhi is gentle, but she's not as pretty as the others and can't control you. It's better to choose Bai Lu, so you can be with both Bai Lu and Guan Bi at the same time.

Forget it! Forget it! It's better to choose Xiao Yi, but..."

After thinking for a long time, Qi Lingbaihe shook her head. "Why should I care about Shen Xu's affairs? The more people who like him, the better. Anyway, they all have to come and flatter me."

When Guanbi returned to the attic under the cover of night, she found Bailu already waiting for her in the dim light on the first floor.

"Is Shen Xu alright?" Bai Lu asked.

"Yes! Your body has suffered considerable damage, but it's not a fatal injury. With proper rest, you should be able to fully recover."

"That's good."

"Why do you want to set me up with Shen Xu?" Bai Lu suddenly asked.

"Don't you want to be with Shen Xu, Miss? Whatever Miss wants, I will naturally help you get it."

"Guanbi, this is the first time I've realized you could lie to me. You seem like a stranger to me!"

Hearing Bai Lu's words, Guan Bi smiled and said, "Whether Miss dislikes me or not, I will always be Miss's maid, and that will never change."

If Miss dislikes my contact with Shen Xu, I will no longer have contact with him in the future.

"Maid, Miss, you always distinguish between them so clearly, so clearly, which breaks my heart time and time again."

Compared to the relationship between you and me, what is Shen Xu?

Since you're willing to be a maid, then fine, I order you to take care of Shen Xu openly and honestly.

And I have never said that I wanted to be with Shen Xu. I don't care about someone like him!

Since you like him, spend more time with him. Otherwise, how will you compete with Xiao Yi and the others?

“Miss…” Guan Bi stared blankly at Bai Lu, who was completely hidden in the shadows.

At this moment, she finally understood that she didn't love Shen Xu, but rather the feeling of taking revenge on Bai Lu.

The moment Bai Lu said she would give Shen Xu to her, she felt utterly bored and meaningless.

"Miss, what makes you think I like Shen Xu?"

You're right. Compared to our relationship, what is Shen Xu? I only need Miss; I don't need anyone else.

"Guanbi, this just brings us back to square one and does nothing to solve the problem."

“It’s different. I’ve never liked Shen Xu. Now I only hope that Miss can be with Shen Xu.”

"Why are you still lying to me now! If you don't like him, why were you in such a hurry when the incident happened in the ancient forest last time, and why did you go out to check on his condition in the middle of the night this time?"

Hearing this, Guan Bi fell silent for a moment, then said, "Miss, that was just..."

"Ask yourself honestly, can your reasons convince yourself?" Bai Lu interrupted Guan Bi's explanation.

"I should have seen it coming sooner. You were thinking that if I were with Shen Xu, you could also be my maid and be with Shen Xu openly and legitimately."

Now I'm telling you that's impossible! If he wants to be with me, he can only have me in his heart, even if the other person is my maid.

If you want to be with Shen Xu, go for it yourself, instead of resorting to such despicable methods.

After Bai Lu finished speaking, she got up and walked straight into the darkness, leaving Guan Bi standing there dumbfounded.
