The Heartthrob System cultivates brotherhood online

"How long?" Ling Si followed up his question.

"In the first life, you were the one who confessed your love to me first. When I returned to the sect after visiting my family, you were gone. They all said that you were in the Demon Abyss, but I searched the entire Demon Abyss and duelled with that old bastard Demon Lord several times, but he still refused to tell me your location."

Jiang Chen's eyes were filled with tears. The young man's face was not very clear in his sight, but he could see a hint of beauty from the basic lines. "Ling Si, are you in the Demon Abyss?"

If Xue Shuyan had erected a tombstone for him, it should be there. Ling Si was silent for a moment, and probably out of trust in Xue Shuyan, he gave a positive answer, "...It's there."

The boy looked like he was half crying and half laughing, "It turns out they didn't lie to me."

Ling Si grasped the key point in the words, "When will I confess to you?"

"You said I'm the most important." The boy answered blankly.

"That is......"

"Brother, right?" Jiang Chen interrupted him and blurted out, "Brotherhood is the most important thing to you, but you still can't tell whether their love for you is gay or brotherly? Did the head master say the same thing to you?"

"Xue Yan? Rong Jun? Did they all say that to you?"

At the end, Jiang Chen became somewhat calm. He wanted to see how Ling Si would react and whether he would feel that those people had deceived him and turned him from a brother to a lover.

Ling Si's face moved slightly, as if he was thinking, "Ji Xuanlan and Xue Yan did say that, because same-sex lovers play many roles, I don't think there is any problem."

If Jiang Chen hadn't mentioned it, Ling Si wouldn't have reviewed their previous relationship. After all, there was no difference between him and Ling Yi before. Both were a little dull and didn't have a thorough understanding of human emotions.

But, "Rong Jun didn't, he never thought of being a brother with me."

From the very beginning, Rong Jun was aiming for the identity of his lover.

"Perhaps Shi An and Xia Yuchuan are..."

The young man suddenly fell silent because Shi An had confessed his feelings to him. Xia Yuchuan was right in front of him, and he didn't look like he really wanted to be his brother.

Ling Si's thoughts began to become confused, and he looked at Jiang Chen with a bit of strangeness. He pushed him again, but failed.

"I think I need to think about this..."

"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Chen leaned forward, staring at him with his dark eyes, "Why is the Marquis so interested in becoming brothers with others? Do you have any mission to complete?"

Ling Si looked at him suddenly and asked, "What do you think?"

Jiang Chen seemed to have just said it casually, and didn't take it to heart. His eyes were red, but he didn't cry anymore. "Why don't you look at me? It's my fourth life. I think my tribulations are over. I can give you any relationship you want."

The boy blinked, waiting for his answer.

Ling Si looked at his eyebrows carefully. The boy looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, dressed in red, looking handsome and unrestrained. But Ling Si was almost thirty years old, and if he grew a few years older he would be his father.

"We're not a good fit."

Feeling his cheek being gently stroked, Jiang Chen slowly relaxed. But he didn't feel happy for long because the young man's words struck him like a bolt of lightning.

"Why?" he couldn't help but ask.

"You are too young," Ling Si gestured, indicating that he was still a child.

Jiang Chen looked at the distance between the young man's two fingers, his cheeks flushed a strange red, "Nonsense, I'm definitely older than you."

"What about your parents? Do they agree too?" As far as Ling Si knew, people in feudal dynasties were not so advanced in their thinking and they definitely focused on passing on the family line. This might become a barrier between the two of them.

Jiang Chen suddenly fell silent, rubbed the young man's hand on his cheek, and said, "I will explain to them."

Ling Si folded his arms on his knees, hunched over, and got close to the boy's face, his warm breath covering his face. "I want to ask you, if your parents insist that you give birth to a child, what will you do?"

"Trust me." Jiang Chen held his hand. There was no point in saying more. He also knew that any words and promises would be meaningless without actual action.

"You just talked about the first life, what about the subsequent lives?" Ling Si changed the subject.

Jiang Chen looked puzzled: "Don't you remember?"

Ling Si: "You mean Lin Ruozhu, Rong Qi, Xia Yuchuan and Fang Shu are all your past lives?"

When he asked this, Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he was the only one who watched someone else's life?

But he really felt the same way, and even the heartache he felt when the young man rejected him did not seem fake, so he was so angry.

With so many worlds, it would be really stupid for Ling Si to not be able to react.

The men surrounding him would always return to him in the same way no matter how much time had passed. Was it such a coincidence?

Thinking of what the Minister of System Space said, Ling Si looked at the boy, "Maybe they are you, and you are them, but it doesn't necessarily mean reincarnation."

Jiang Chen's thinking was limited, and he failed to figure out the key. In his eyes, the young man became more and more mysterious, as if he was shrouded in a layer of fog.

He didn't like the feeling of being out of control, he had been through a lot...

Jiang Chen regained his composure after his fingertips were pinched, and then he heard the person in front of him say, "Perhaps you are different souls of the same person, but you just remembered their memories at some point."

What the young man said was completely beyond his expectations. After all, Jiang Chen was born and raised in Daqin. Even if he had some memories of other worlds, they were vague and could not completely change his cognition.

My mother always said that he was not well-behaved when he was a child. He often had night sweats and cried at night. She invited a Taoist priest, who said that his mind was unstable. After performing rituals for a few days, the Taoist priest left and he never had that condition again.

Is it possible that the Taoist priest was not well-trained and did not realize that he was missing a soul?

"What did you think of?"

Jiang Chen told him the whole story. Although he had never believed in gods and ghosts before, and even thought his mother was joking, now considering these anomalies, he could explain a little.

"Are you a deity, Ah Si?" Jiang Chen suddenly said, "After all, there was a concept of cultivation before. Have you already cultivated to the right path?"

Ling Si shook his head. "Not yet. I stopped practicing a long time ago. But did you finally ascend to heaven?"

Jiang Chen thought about it and realized that there was no such scene in his dream. It was either not important or it was a failure.

"Will you hate me...Lin Ruozhu?" The young man changed the address temporarily.

"Why do you ask?"

"It was Lin Ruozhu's master who insisted that you take that pill." Jiang Chen's breath was low, and a picture flashed through his mind.

Ever since Ling Si left, everyone in the sect seemed to have returned to a state of devoting themselves to the Tao. Time flies in the world of cultivation, and these things were quickly forgotten. Only a few people would mention them.

On the eve of the Fifth Elder's passing, Lin Ruozhu learned the whole story from him. He also learned that his master had been regretting all these years because his stubbornness and prejudice had damaged the harmony of the sect.

Obviously there was a better way.

Lin Ruozhu didn't know how to react. He watched helplessly as the master who had led him into the path of Taoism turned into ashes with regret and disappeared from the world.

He couldn't even blame anyone, he just kept asking himself in his heart, why wasn't he more observant? That way he could have discovered something was wrong before leaving the sect...
