They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent - Chapter 53



Just returning to his residence, Lin Mo saw Gu Zi sitting on a stone bench in the courtyard, deep in thought, sometimes shaking his head, sometimes blushing, sometimes slapping his own face.

Lin Mo was puzzled, could this kid have a crush on some girl?

At that moment, Gu Zi also noticed Lin Mo’s return, and he was stunned at the sight.

His senior brother, usually dressed simply and modestly, looked really good in today’s attire.

“What are you thinking about?” Lin Mo asked as he approached Gu Zi.

“I just realized today, Senior Brother Lin, you’re actually quite handsome!” Gu Zi spoke his mind.

“I’m well aware of that,” Lin Mo said with a smile.

That afternoon, Gu Zi thought a lot.

Senior brother has been so good to him, yet he felt like he had nothing to offer in return.

Although senior brother’s quirks were indeed strange, that was all he could do to satisfy him.

“Senior brother, I…” Although he had made up his mind, the words were hard to say, and Gu Zi couldn’t speak them out loud.

“If there’s anything, just say it. If I can help you, I definitely will,” Lin Mo said, thinking Gu Zi wanted him to play matchmaker.

“It’s not that, I don’t need senior brother’s help with anything.” Taking a deep breath, Gu Zi blushed and said, “Senior brother has been extremely kind to me, so those things you want, I’m willing to give them to you!”

What the heck?

What do I want? Why don’t I even know myself?

And what can you give me?

Lin Mo was puzzled, looking at Gu Zi whose face was flushed, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

“I don’t quite understand what you mean, senior brother.”

“It’s okay, senior brother. I know this matter is hard for you to speak of, but I understand. After all, there are many people with strange quirks in this world.”

Lin Mo frowned.

“So, senior brother, don’t steal them. If you like them, I can just give them to you.”

Saying this, Gu Zi began to take off his shoes.

Lin Mo’s frown deepened.

Gu Zi continued to take off his socks, oblivious to the fact that Lin Mo had already made a swift exit.

Bowing his head and bending at the waist, he respectfully offered his smelly socks: “Senior brother, if you need them again in the future, you can just tell me directly, no need to steal. If you think they’re not smelly enough, I can wear them for a few more days…”

“Eh, where did senior brother go?”

Looking up, Gu Zi finally realized that Lin Mo had vanished.

Back in his room, Lin Mo blocked his sense of smell and called out coldly: “If you dare to take off your shoes in front of me again, I won’t hesitate to chop off your feet.”

The chill in his words seemed genuine, making Gu Zi shiver.

He must have thought the senior brother was too proud to say anything and hurriedly put on his socks and left.

Feeling Gu Zi’s departure, Lin Mo was speechless to the extreme.

It seems the pair of socks he got from the system had been discovered by Gu Zi.

What a mess!

“System, can’t you adjust the items you deliver?”

“Even a pair of clean socks would do, why must you give me someone else’s worn ones?”

【Host, I’ve said it before, the prizes from the draw are random, I can’t control these things.】

Lin Mo didn’t believe the system one bit.

How could it be such a coincidence? Out of countless worlds and billions of prizes, to draw something belonging to someone nearby?

……..

It’s been half a month since Shen Ke’er has been bedridden.

These days, she has been able to get out of bed and walk.

Due to her body being covered in black poison glands, she had no choice but to wear a veil.

Lin Mo was practicing swordplay in the courtyard.

When Shen Ke’er arrived, she noticed her senior brother had changed into a new outfit.

For a moment, she didn’t recognize him.

It took her a while to come back to her senses.

A wave of emotion surged in her heart.

She had never realized how handsome her senior brother was.

Adjusting her thoughts and setting aside her past arrogance, she approached respectfully and said,

“Senior brother, Ke’er greets you.”

Putting down his sword, Lin Mo was well aware of Shen Ke’er’s thoughts.

“I know, you may leave if there’s nothing else.”

“Senior brother…” Shen Ke’er stepped forward and gently grasped Lin Mo’s sleeve, her tone carrying a hint of coquetry.

Lin Mo coldly shook off her hand.

In the past, when Shen Ke’er made mistakes, such an attitude would have softened the original master enough to forgive her.

But he would not!

“Senior brother, you’ve raised me since I was little, do you truly not care about me anymore?” Seeing Lin Mo’s demeanor, Shen Ke’er became somewhat frantic.

She had thought that after her last departure, Lin Mo was just angry and would soften over time to come see her.

But who would have thought, for half a month, Lin Mo never visited once.

Even now, as she showed weakness and acted coquettishly, her senior brother was like a stranger, his expression cold, showing no desire to deal with her.

If Lin Mo truly decided not to care for her, she would have to live with this ugly face and even be unable to cultivate, falling from a sect genius to a waste…

How could she accept such a thing?

The most capable person she knew, aside from her master, was this senior brother beside her.

Moreover, this senior brother indeed had the ability to save her.

How could she not grasp this lifeline?

“Where is your gentle and considerate junior brother Ye Kai?”

Lin Mo sneered inwardly, now she plays the sentiment card with him?

Where was she earlier?

Coming to him for help when needed, but sticking close to that little junior brother when not, listening to Ye Kai speak ill of him, despising him for being cold-blooded and ruthless, oppressing fellow disciples?

Acting like Zhao Wuyan when there’s trouble, and Xia Yingchun when there’s not.

Truly shameless.

Shen Ke’er lowered her head, her voice small, “Junior brother Ye doesn’t have the spiritual plants that can help me, nor the means to heal my injuries…”

These days, Ye Kai had indeed been with her.

Asking her every day with concern, where she felt uncomfortable, if she was feeling any better.

From noble mtl dot come

She saw all these things too.

But is it useful just to ask and care?

This cannot alleviate her pain, nor detoxify her.

Now, only by pleading with Lin Mo, only by seeking help from this senior brother, can she regain her beauty and resume her cultivation.

Seeing Shen Ke’er still defending that good junior brother, Lin Mo sneered: “So, must I give you what I have? Must I help you with what I know?”

Do you think you are the daughter of Heaven?

Wanting whatever you desire?

Did everything the original owner have come by a stroke of luck?

Those rare spiritual plants were all desperately snatched from the midst of demon beasts.

This medical expertise, not even taught by Master Yuehua, was honed by him through tireless exploration from dawn to dusk.

Shen Ke’er only knows what the original owner had, what he could do, but she doesn’t know how much blood the original owner shed to obtain those spiritual plants, nor how much time and effort it took to learn those healing skills.

Lin Mo felt a cold heart for adopting such an ungrateful person for the original owner.

But he couldn’t kill her, she was the original owner’s junior sister, not his.

Now it’s just fine, let Shen Ke’er fend for herself.

If the original owner hadn’t picked her up when she was young, not to mention Shen Ke’er having a chance at immortality, even surviving would have been good enough.

Lin Mo couldn’t be bothered to say anything more, summoned his Liuli Sword, and flew away on it.

Shen Ke’er watched the figure disappearing into the sky, left alone in disarray.

She still didn’t understand, she hadn’t done anything outrageous, why her senior brother, who had raised her with his own hands, was unwilling to save her, to help her.
