219: Fate is intertwined and entangled

“You found it yourself?”

“Xiao Che… how did you find out?”

Jiang Wantang was greatly surprised, a hint of suspicion showing on her beautiful face as she asked with slight hesitation.

“Well… this goes back to when I traveled to Wudang Mountain.”

“Sister, you know, that Daoist Master Zhang gave me so many rare treasures, century-old spiritual medicines, various martial arts manuals, and even told my fortune.”

“He said my physiognomy was ineffably noble, that I was destined to have many romantic entanglements, and that my life would be intertwined with a woman of noble fate and supreme natural talent, and that this woman was right by my side…”

“I thought long and hard and figured the old Taoist was talking about you, Sister…”

“Then, I secretly took some of your hair, Sister, and went for a paternity test.”

Jiang Che remained expressionless as he spun a tale for Jiang Wantang, attributing all the reasons to the ethereal and illusory Daoist Master Zhang.

As he spoke, Jiang Che took out the already prepared paternity test results and handed them to Jiang Wantang.

The test results showed that he and Jiang Wantang indeed had no blood relation.

Moreover, there were three copies of the test report, each from the most top-tier and authoritative hospitals in Linjiang, leaving Jiang Wantang no choice but to believe.

Attributing everything to Daoist Master Zhang’s divination could greatly reduce the difficulty of his pursuit of his sister, giving her a good psychological expectation.

Anyway, this Daoist Master Zhang was a fictional character of his own making, and Jiang Wantang had no way to verify the truthfulness of his words.

“This…”

Although Jiang Che’s explanation felt somewhat unreliable, the genuine evidence was laid out before her, leaving Jiang Wantang no choice but to believe.

Sending elixirs, sending cultivation techniques, and even helping with fortune-telling and divination…

This Daoist Master Zhang was too good to her little brother!

Destined for romantic entanglements, intertwined destinies, inseparable…

According to this Taoist named Zhang, wouldn’t she develop some other unspeakable relationship with her little brother in the future?!

???

Is this reasonable?

Although Jiang Che spoke ambiguously, Jiang Wantang naturally understood the implication of his words; wasn't that exactly what he meant?

Jiang Wantang was in disbelief, Emotion Value + 34345…

Xiao Yi was curious about the gossip, Emotion Value + 6666…

Xiao Yi’s pair of purple pupils glowed with a cold light; although she remained expressionless, cool, and indifferent, she felt it was very interesting internally.

The master’s sister is not his biological sister. Is the master going to take his sister into his harem?

This kind of thing… is truly interesting.

If it were in the past, Xiao Yi would not have been interested in anything other than what Jiang Che instructed; her cold and aloof personality destined her to be indifferent to everything.

Now, after two months of teaching and training by Jiang Che, daily indoctrination of ideals and beliefs, and a period of university education, Xiao Yi has undergone very noticeable changes compared to before, becoming more and more like a living person.

………………

“So, Xiao Che, what are you thinking?”

Jiang Wantang took a deep breath, calming her turbulent emotions, pursed her red lips, and looked at Jiang Che sitting opposite her.

By now, Jiang Wantang had basically accepted that she was not her parents’ biological daughter. What concerned her more were Daoist Master Zhang’s words and Jiang Che’s own attitude.

Jiang Wantang’s pair of fair, delicate hands tightly clutched the hem of her skirt. Her mind was a mess, her heart pounding with extreme nervousness, stirring ripples, and her emotions could not calm down for a long time…

This prophecy was simply too absurd, so much so that Jiang Wantang dared not believe it.

She wasn't a brother-complex, so how could she have any special relationship with Xiao Che?

Or… did he have those kinds of thoughts about her?

“Well… I think it’s best to let nature take its course. After all, fate cannot be defied, and destiny cannot be changed.”

“Sister, what do you think?”

“Besides… I truly respect you, Sister!”

Jiang Che coughed lightly, his face serious, his expression quite earnest.

His answer was as if he said nothing, and yet as if he said everything.

“Fate cannot be defied, and destiny cannot be changed.”

Jiang Wantang murmured to herself, her long, delicate eyelashes trembling slightly. Her mind was filled with many thoughts, unable to calm down.

So… her younger brother really wanted to be a brother who pursued his sister?!

???

Seeing Jiang Wantang’s dazed and speechless expression, Jiang Che inexplicably found his sister somewhat adorably naive and knew it was time to add fuel to the fire.

After all, it was indeed not easy to turn Jiang Wantang’s familial affection for him into romantic love in a short period.

Getting up from his seat, Jiang Che sat beside Jiang Wantang and took her pair of fair, soft, boneless hands.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi knew it was not appropriate for her to stay there any longer; she needed to give Jiang Che and Jiang Wantang some private space.

The purple-haired loli glanced at the two, moved her beautiful white-stockinged legs, and quietly turned to leave.

“You… what do you want to do?!”

Jiang Wantang raised an eyebrow, looking directly at her good younger brother. Although her expression remained calm and unruffled, her heart was far from as serene as it appeared on the surface.

Even though she had engaged in similar intimate gestures with Jiang Che before, the meaning represented by the current situation was vastly different.

“Sister, what are your thoughts?”

Jiang Che did not answer directly but instead counter-questioned, still playing with Jiang Wantang’s fair, delicate hands.

They were fair with a hint of red, glowing with a healthy pink, like fine mutton-fat jade, smooth and fair, soft and tender, cool to the touch, simply flawless.

If hand fetishists were here and saw his sister’s perfectly exquisite hands, they would probably want to lick them for three days and three nights.

His nostrils were filled with Jiang Wantang’s unique, faint body scent, fresh and elegant, intoxicating, silently stirring Jiang Che’s heartstrings.

“I… I have no thoughts…”

Jiang Wantang stammered, her eyes darting away, letting Jiang Che play with her hands. For a moment, she was speechless, completely unsure how to answer the question.

The change in identity was too sudden; Jiang Wantang needed some time to accept and process the information she had learned today.

“Then, Sister, are you consenting by default?”

Jiang Che pressed on, leaning in closer.

Jiang Wantang was silent, pursing her lips without speaking.

Seeing this, Jiang Che’s actions became bolder. He tentatively reached out and wrapped his arm around Jiang Wantang’s slender, graspable waist.

This time, the Immortal Sister finally reacted.

“Xiao Che, don’t… don’t do this…”

“Can you give me some time, please?”

Although she had already believed three parts of Daoist Master Zhang’s so-called prophecy, she could not frankly accept Jiang Che’s display of affection right now. Her heart was extremely conflicted.
