A guest house.

Ye Feng drank tea and looked at Xiaodie who was picking tea leaves in the distance. He noticed that Xiaodie was peeking at the place where he lived from time to time, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Xiaodie is the key to enlightenment.

The other party is the end of this mortal bond. Only by properly handling the relationship between himself and Xiaodie can he get out of this mortal bond and successfully achieve enlightenment.

In the tea garden.

Xiaodie seemed to be in a fugue, mechanically picking the tea leaves in front of her. Her thoughts had long been drifting to Ye Feng, thinking about every little thing she had spent with him these past few days.

That was a kind of suffering.

Because she felt that she liked Ye Feng, but he didn't like her.

This feeling is very bad.

"Why don't you like me? Is it really just because you are a mortal and I am a practitioner? If it doesn't work, can't I turn you into a practitioner too? Although this is difficult, I will try my best."

Xiaodie cooed.

Ye Feng heard all these words.

But, he didn't say anything.

After a while.

Ye Feng walked out of his guest house. As for the teahouse in the ancient city, no one was taking care of it for the time being, and there was no need to take care of it.

Because, there is no need.

"Xiaodie, where are you picking tea leaves?"

A disciple in the tea garden passed by, also carrying a bamboo basket on his back. He had a cultivation level of the fifth level of Qi Refining Realm. He was Xiaodie's senior brother, and he also started picking tea leaves.

"Well, yes."

Xiaodie replied nonchalantly, focusing entirely on Ye Feng and not caring about her senior brother.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Xiaodie discovered that Ye Feng was a warm-hearted person who often helped the tea garden. From time to time, he could also enlighten some tea garden disciples who were depressed, and even gave advice to the owner of the tea garden, Old Man Lin.

"Wow, I had a breakthrough!"

Old Man Lin exclaimed, he did not expect that with just a few words of advice from Ye Feng, he would break through the bottleneck that had held him back for decades and be promoted to the fourth level of the Juyuan Realm.

"Oh my god, boss Ye Feng is so awesome."

"I admire him so much."

“Boss Ye is so handsome!”

The other female disciples in the tea garden all praised Ye Feng, and some wanted to marry him.

Xiaodie was a little jealous.

Time flew by and several days passed.

Ye Feng helps every day, and he also helps Xiaodie during this period, but Xiaodie always feels a little strange, and when he looks at Ye Feng, his eyes always dodge.

Under night.

After Xiaodie took a bath and changed clothes, she sat at the stone table in the small courtyard and listened to the chats of her senior brothers and sisters.

"Boss Ye is very powerful."

"I think he is very good to us. He is more like a master than our master."

"Yeah, I think so too."

"Do you like Boss Ye?"

"I like him, of course I like him, but what I like about him is the kind of admiration and respect I have for my seniors, not the kind between men and women."

"Hehe, me too."

Xiaodie listened to the chat between her senior brothers and sisters, and was shocked by the last few words, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Like...there are many kinds?"

Xiaodie couldn't help but ask.

"Of course!" The second senior sister of Chayuan touched Xiaodie's head, "The love between men and women can be said to be affection; the elder's love for the younger can be seen as care; the younger's love for the elder can be seen as being able to

See it as a feeling of admiration..."

Listening to the explanation of the second senior sister in the tea garden, Xiaodie fell into deep thought again, thinking about what kind of love she had for Ye Feng.

In the guest house next door.

Ye Feng leaned on the rocking chair, resting his head on the back of his head with his hands, chewing tea leaves in his mouth, looking at the dark blue sky quietly with a smile on his face.

"Xiaodie, you have to know that your love for me is not the kind between men and women!"

Ye Feng murmured.

At night, Xiaodie tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

She closed her eyes and kept thinking. In the end, she felt that her liking for Ye Feng seemed more like a good impression of a big brother, and she regarded him as a caring and reliable big brother.

This kind of love is not the love between men and women, but more like the flawless emotion between relatives.

That night, Xiaodie couldn't sleep all night.

In the next few days, Xiaodie avoided Ye Feng, never daring to look at him, let alone meet him.

Seeing this, Ye Feng smiled.

He realized that Xiaodie had understood that the love between them was not between a man and a woman, but closer to the care and help of brothers and sisters or friends.

Just like that, half a month passed.

Xiaodie finally plucked up the courage and found Ye Feng who was under the tea tree. The latter was drinking tea and playing Go with Old Man Lin.

"Boss Ye, I have something to tell you."

Xiaodie gritted her teeth and spoke solemnly.

"Say it here?"

"It's better... let's talk elsewhere!"

"Okay, you pick the place."

Half a quarter of an hour later, the two walked side by side to the top of a mountain. There was an old pine tree growing here. The ground was covered with withered yellow pine needles, which were soft and slippery when stepped on.

Ye Feng leaned against the old pine tree.

Xiaodie held the corners of her pink skirt with both hands, pursed her red lips tightly, lowered her head slightly, and said nothing.

"If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Ye Feng was the first to break the silence at the scene.

At this moment, Old Man Lin and the other disciples in the tea garden were all gathered in the grass at the foot of the mountain, all listening to the conversation between the two.

"I……"

Xiaodie was silent for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to look up at Ye Feng with a smile.

"Brother Ye Feng!"

She shouted happily.

Hearing this, Ye Feng nodded with a smile and said, "Hey, sister Xiaodie, what's the matter?"

Xiaodie thought for a while and said: "Brother Ye Feng, I know that I actually like you in my heart. Since I first saw you, I have found that you are a very interesting person and very cultured. And I

, in fact, I have always liked you. But later, after listening to your explanation, I thought hard for a long time, and finally discovered that my liking for you is the innocent admiration that a sister has for her brother."

Ye Feng is still smiling.

"so what?"

"So, brother Ye Feng, I can boldly tell you that I like you! But the love between us is not between a man and a woman, but between a brother and a sister."

Hearing this, Ye Feng's smile became even brighter.

"Good sister, I am very happy that you finally understand the type of emotion you have for me. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me and I will solve it for you."

Ye Feng patted her shoulder.

"Brother Ye Feng, you are just a mortal, how can you solve the problems of us practitioners? However, if you are in trouble, my sister will definitely help!"

Xiaodie patted her chest.

Old man Lin, tea garden disciples and others nearby almost fell over after hearing the conversation between the two.

"Forehead!"

"I originally thought that Xiaodie's love for Boss Ye was something between men and women. It turns out that Xiaodie actually regards Boss Ye as a brother!"

"Xiaodie is young and couldn't tell which one she liked before. Now that she can tell the difference, it's a gratifying thing and a sign of growth."
