"envy?"

Hearing Liu Su's words, Lin Jiangnian was slightly stunned, a little surprised. Looking down at Liu Su's delicate and calm face, he was slightly stunned for a moment.

The reason she doesn't like Zhiyuan is because she's jealous of Zhiyuan?!

This answer caught Lin Jiangnian off guard.

Why is she jealous of the kite?

Lin Jiangnian thought about it carefully.

In terms of martial arts, Liu Su was no worse than Zhi Yuan. While it wasn't clear who was more powerful between the two, they were very close. Despite their young age, both were already among the top masters.

The two half-siblings have great talent in martial arts.

Whether it's appearance, figure, or temperament... the two of them are almost equally matched, with not much difference!

Lin Jiangnian has the most say on this point.

In this case, whether it is martial arts, appearance or other aspects, Liu Su can be regarded as rare in the world, and as the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly God Sect... Although the Heavenly God Sect is not a powerful organization, at least as the Holy Maiden, Liu Su can be regarded as second only to the emperor.

Why is she still jealous of the kite?

What is there to be jealous of?

Facing Lin Jiangnian's puzzled gaze, Liu Su glanced back at him, then looked away. As if relieved, a hint of indescribable emotion appeared on her face.

"She's much luckier than me!"

Liu Su looked off into the distance and chuckled self-deprecatingly, "She comes from a prominent family and was a beloved daughter of an official from birth... Even though her family fell on hard times, she still met your mother and was adopted into the Jiangnan Jiang family!"

"She was raised as her own daughter by Princess Lin. Even before her death, she specifically instructed the people in the palace to take good care of her..."

"Princess Lin's younger sister is your aunt. She was only a teenager that year. She inherited her elder sister's last wish and brought her with her..."

"Although Jiang Yuxiang is Old Master Jiang's adopted daughter, no one in the Jiang family dares to look down on her. After Princess Lin passed away, Old Master Jiang became particularly concerned about this adopted daughter. Coupled with Jiang Yuxiang's fiery and strong personality, she has always had considerable influence in the Jiang family. With Jiang Zhiyuan by her side, no one dares to provoke or bully her..."

At this point, Liu Su paused, her eyes deep, and she said calmly, "Look, she was born a noble lady. Even though her family fell into poverty, she was still favored by the Jiang family since she was a child and never suffered any grievances..."

"Even though she was later taken to the Lin Wang Mansion by Lin Hengzhong and became the Lin Wang Prince's maid... on the surface she was a maid, but her status in the Lin Wang Mansion was no lower than that of the Lin Wang Prince. Even Lin Hengzhong trusted and loved her very much... Do you know why?"

Lin Jiangnian listened quietly and heard Liu Su suddenly ask back.

He was silent for a moment and nodded.

Why is Zhiyuan so trusted by Lin Hengzhong and has such great power in Prince Lin's Mansion as a maid?

There are many reasons, but the most important one is...

"Because, Princess Lin said before her death that Zhiyuan was her child bride..."

Liu Su showed a hint of sneer on her face: "Princess Lin did this back then, whether she really had this idea or just wanted to protect her. But at least, in Lin Hengzhong's eyes, he took it seriously!"

"Since Lin Hengzhong brought her back to Prince Lin's Mansion, he never treated her as a maid... From the very beginning, Lin Hengzhong treated her completely as his future daughter-in-law and the Crown Prince's consort."

"That's why she holds such a high position and has such great power in the Lin Wang Mansion. Everyone in the Lin Wang Mansion treats her with the utmost respect..."

"Because she is the candidate for Crown Prince Consort that both Prince Lin and Princess Lin have chosen!"

“…”

Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything, he just stared at Liu Su's face quietly.

From the moment Liu Su said this, her expression remained calm, like a bystander speaking about something nonchalant.

But there was another emotion brewing in her eyes.

It's like he's trying hard to suppress something.

"But what about me?"

Liu Su suddenly spoke again, her tone seemed a little confused.

A bit more self-deprecating.

"I'm different from her, and I can't compare to her..."

"I was born into the Celestial God Cult. My mother passed away a few years later under mysterious circumstances. I was raised by a few kind old ladies in the cult..."

"Ever since I can remember, people have said I was the future Saint of the Celestial God Cult. Back then, I didn't know what a Saint meant. I only knew that this title brought me great danger..."

"Many people want me dead. They want to kill me and take my place... In order to protect me, the old women who raised me died one after another..."

"From childhood to adulthood, I have faced all kinds of cruel and dangerous situations. In order to survive, I had to work hard and hard. I practiced martial arts diligently, became stronger, and killed all those who wanted to harm me. I eliminated all those who had grudges against me one by one..."

"Luckily, I survived and killed them all..."

Having said that, Liu Su lowered her eyes and stretched out her other hand.

Beneath the sleeve of the red dress was a slender hand, very white and very thin.

Liu Su sneered: "Do you know how much blood is on my hands?"

"Do you know how many people I've killed?"

She was sneering, but there was an indescribable hint of bitterness on her face.

Lin Jiangnian watched quietly, his heart heavy and filled with an indescribable pity.

Everyone only knew that she was the saint second only to the Heavenly God Cult, but no one had ever thought about what she had experienced to get to this point.

"I've worked hard for so many years to finally get to where I am today and achieve what I have today..."

"But what about her? She didn't have to do anything and got everything easily."

"Do you think her luck is much better than mine?"

Liu Su suddenly turned her head and stared at Lin Jiangnian, an indescribable smile appearing on her face.

He was clearly smiling, but his smile gave people an extremely uncomfortable feeling.

"We have the same father, but we have completely different destinies... Tell me, should I be jealous of her?"

"If it were you, wouldn't you be jealous?"

“…”

Faced with Liu Su's sudden question, Lin Jiangnian was unable to answer for a while.

Are you jealous?

Put yourself in his shoes. If it were him... he would probably be jealous and feel unbalanced, right?

If the original Prince Lin had not died, if what happened that night half a year ago had not happened, Lin Jiangnian would still be living in exile.

At that time, would he be jealous and think, they are twins, why is one the high and mighty Prince Lin, while he can only live among the people, leading a miserable and precarious life?

The answer is actually very obvious!

Liu Su and Zhi Yuan are half-sisters with the same father.

But their fates were completely different.

Zhiyuan was undoubtedly lucky. Even though the Xunyang Jiang family was tragically wiped out that year, at least after being rescued by Princess Lin, Zhiyuan had no worries about food and clothing since childhood.

But Liu Su is completely different. After her mother passed away, she was left as an orphan and a young child in a cult full of open and covert struggles and extremely dangerous situations. How could she survive?

it goes without saying.

So, Lin Jiangnian nodded heavily.

"meeting!"

"If I were you, I would be so jealous that my face would be distorted!"

Liu Su was slightly stunned, raised her eyes and looked into Lin Jiangnian's eyes.

Lin Jiangnian looked at her gently, his eyes full of heartache, and sighed: "Jealousy is human nature, not to mention that you are originally..."

"If you hadn't forced me to pretend to be the Prince of Lin that night in the temple, perhaps my fate would have been the same as yours..."

"To be precise, perhaps my previous fate was the same as yours."

Liu Su was stunned, and finally seemed to realize it belatedly.

This guy in front of me seems... really similar to her?

To be precise, his fate was changed by her.

If it weren't for her unintended decision, he might have died in the temple that night.

For a moment, Liu Su was a little dazed.

After a while, she calmed down a little, looked away, and said calmly: "So, you know why I don't like her?"

"Completely understand."

Lin Jiangnian nodded and held her hand tightly. Her soft and delicate skin seemed as soft as boneless.

Very light and very cold.

There's an indescribable chill.

Originally, she should have had a better life.

Back then, Jiang Cheng, the former prefect of Xunyang County, met Liu Su's mother and later gave birth to Liu Su.

If Jiang Cheng had not died and the Jiang family had not been wiped out, Liu Su would have had a better fate.

Even though Jiang Cheng is a henpecked husband and cannot give Liu Su the status of a mother, he will never let the mother and daughter stay alone in the Tianshen Sect, let alone let Liu Su grow up alone.

so……

The instigator and culprit behind all this is the Xunyang Wang family?!

Fate is sometimes really interesting.

The Wang family's frame-up led to the extermination of the Jiang family, causing Zhiyuan and Liu Su to lose their parents at a young age, and causing Liu Su to grow up alone.

And more than ten years later, it was Zhiyuan who destroyed the Wang family with his own hands.

And Liu Su personally killed everyone in the Wang family in the Xunyang City Prison.

More than ten years ago, the Wang family killed the entire Jiang family. More than ten years ago, the descendants of the Jiang family wiped out the Wang family.

Maybe this is karma?

"So, sometimes fate is really strange!"

Lin Jiangnian sighed, looked down at Liu Su, and gently reached out to hold her in his arms.

Liu Su did not resist.

Perhaps it was because Lin Jiangnian had almost the same experience that made her feel an inexplicable sense of identification.

Or maybe she was confused and at a loss when she said this tonight.

"However, although we cannot decide our birth, we can decide our future destiny."

Lin Jiangnian looked down at her face and chuckled softly, "Now you are the renowned Saint of the Celestial God Cult, and I am the Crown Prince of Lin... At least, our future destinies are in our own hands."

Listening to Lin Jiangnian's words, Liu Su was slightly stunned.

After a while, he murmured to himself: "Control your destiny?"

I don’t know what she was thinking about, but there was a hint of relief in Liu Su’s eyes.

"Yeah, at least now I...have the ability to decide my own destiny!"

She is no longer the pitiful little girl who was struggling to survive in the Tianshen Sect more than a decade ago. Now, she has absolute ability and power.

Even the Great Elder of the Celestial God Cult, who posed the greatest threat to her, had already died at her hands.

In this world, there are few people who can stop her. She really has the ability to control her own destiny!

"Come to think of it, Zhiyuan can't be blamed for what happened back then..."

At this time, Lin Jiang sighed: "You are jealous of her, I can understand. Not only you, in fact, I used to be quite jealous..."

"But she really didn't do anything wrong. In fact, she is also a victim..."

"Don't be fooled by her seemingly glorious life, but she has also suffered a lot of grievances behind the scenes..."

A daughter of an official whose family was wiped out, living under someone else's roof. No matter what, it was impossible for her to be completely free of any objections.

Inevitably, you will also be subjected to a lot of strange looks and gossip.

Compared to Liu Su, Zhi Yuan didn't have to worry about her safety. But to some extent, the pressure she faced was no less.

Even with Princess Lin's last wish and Jiang Yuxiang's protection, Princess Lin had passed away by then, and Jiang Yuxiang herself was only a teenage girl. Even if she tried her best to protect her, could she really fully safeguard a younger girl?

What's more, Jiang Yuxiang is not Mr. Jiang's biological daughter!

Because of this, perhaps no one understands Zhiyuan's feelings better than her.

"If we really look back at what happened back then, it was the Wang family who was wrong. It was also your father who was wrong..."

Lin Jiangnian sighed.

If Jiang Cheng hadn't been so affectionate back then, this situation wouldn't have happened. Even if Jiang Cheng had been a little tougher back then, not afraid of his wife, and had taken Liu Su and her daughter back home, perhaps the situation would have been completely different...

Lin Jiangnian naturally put all the blame on his deceased future father-in-law without any pressure.

"Yes, she is indeed not wrong."

Liu Su stared ahead, "But I just don't like her."

Lin Jiangnian sighed: "But she is your half-sister after all."

"I didn't admit she was."

Liu Su looked up at Lin Jiangnian, and after saying that, she struggled to get up from his arms.

She stood on the roof, letting the cold wind blow against her.

The tight red dress fluttered on the roof in the middle of the night. At this moment in the night, there was an indescribable mysterious and cold feeling.

It's becoming more and more fascinating.

She glanced back at Lin Jiangnian, her voice cold and ethereal.

"I don't hate her, but I don't like her at all either!"

After a pause, Liu Su said expressionlessly, "I won't admit her relationship with me either."

"I don't have a sister, and I will never have a sister!"

"Even more impossible..."

When he said this, Liu Su suddenly stopped, and a trace of anger appeared on his cold face.

She turned around and glared at Lin Jiangnian fiercely.

"I'm leaving!"

After saying that, Liu Su turned and left.

"etc……"

Lin Jiangnian quickly called out to her, "Where are you going?"

Liu Su did not answer Lin Jiangnian's question. She jumped up from the roof and landed lightly on a roof not far away.

In the dark night, that red dress is mysterious and cool!

"Go drink!"

A cold voice was heard, and along with her figure, it quickly disappeared into the night.

"drink wine?"

Lin Jiangnian raised his eyebrows, then smiled.

"Take me one!"

“…”
