It had been a long time since they last saw the sun. This was the border between the Water Country and the Wave Country. The Wave Country was next to the Water Country, and the Fire Country was further ahead.
All the ninja countries were connected, and the Country of Water and the Country of Fire were neighbors.
Standing at the port, a ray of sunlight shone on a young man dressed in snow-white clothes. Beside the young man was a younger girl. At first glance, the two of them looked very similar, but their personalities were completely different.
The former was as cold as ice, while the latter was gentle and moving.
"Hey, where did this little brat come from? Go, go, go. Hurry up and go home to your mother. We're very busy here.”The boatmen were noisy. It was obvious that no matter where you were going, you still had to pay first, especially when you looked like you were about ten years old. They were not saints. In the eyes of these merchants, there was only money.
Ximen Chuixue took out some money from his pocket. These were the belongings that Sakurai Erika had left for him.
Ximen boasted and casually threw it into the boatman's hands." Send us to the Country of Waves."”
"Alright." As long as you had money, there was nothing you couldn't do.
After the boatman finished speaking, he propped up the small boat. Ximen Chuixue and Bai sat on the small boat together.
The boat sailed slowly on the water. The surrounding water was extremely calm, and it could make one's soul become abnormally pure. Ximen Chuixue hugged her sword and leaned against the railing, admiring the beautiful scenery.
"Big brother." Bai greeted him softly. In fact, there was a hidden meaning in her words.
"Hmm?" Ximen Chuixue glanced at her and gently touched her forehead." What's the matter?”
"I feel so lonely."
"It's clearly two people relying on each other, but do you still feel lonely?”Ximen Chuixue was stunned. In the end, he came to a realization. Perhaps his personality was too cold, which made Bai feel neglected.
"I keep feeling that brother has become different from before. Although brother has become stronger, I really hope that brother can be as gentle as before and not like this.”These words had been suppressed in his heart for too long. "Are you really my brother?" She could not help but ask.
"Of course I am." Ximen Chuixue patted her shoulder and looked into her eyes. He did not look away." You only need to know that I will protect you. I won't let anyone bully you. As for other family matters, I can only do my best."”
"For example?" Bai suddenly hugged Ximen Chuixue." I want Brother to be the same as before."、”
"I can't change back." Ximen Chuixue shook his head. His memories were shared with Moonless Water's. Although he knew what happened before he awakened his memories, he was still Ximen Chuixue.
Bai became silent. She suddenly remembered what she had said before. He was the one who had killed her parents. If Ximen Chuixue had not used the limit of the blood inheritance and been seen by others, things would not have turned out this way.
Ximen Chuixue didn't say anything. He already had a plan in his heart. He only glanced at her and understood what Bai was thinking.
"It's fine if you can't figure it out or can't see through it, but I'm indeed your brother. There are some things that I don't want to explain.”Ximen Chuixue couldn't help but feel a little dejected. It would be great if he was really heartless. However, he really couldn't do that. As a human, how could he avoid the seven emotions and six desires? For someone like him who cherished words like gold, he had no choice but to explain for this girl because she was his younger sister.
Bai also felt that she was being too conflicted." I'm sorry, Brother.”
"Yes." Ximen Chuixue took out a bag of food that he had bought at the port and handed it to her. As it had been wrapped tightly, the food was still hot." You must be hungry. Go eat."“
After Bai took the food, she felt the warmth of the food and Ximen Chuixue's concerned gaze. Her heart warmed. She suddenly felt so guilty. Her brother was still her brother after all. Her brother cared about her the most. Tears suddenly flowed from the corners of her eyes.
Ximen Chuixue was at a loss. If anyone saw this, they would definitely be shocked. Who would have thought that the cold and aloof Sword God in front of outsiders would actually have such a side?
He stretched out his sleeve and gently wiped the tears from the corners of his white eyes. He could not help but caress the girl's little head." Don't cry. I'm here."”Ximen Chuixue had no choice but to hug Bai's body and gently tear off a piece of food.
Bai's face was slightly red as she lay in her brother's arms. Her tears had also stopped. She suddenly felt a little touched. So her brother had a cold side too.
She chewed slowly and ate the food that Ximen Chuixue had placed in her mouth. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the boatman shook his head as he rowed the boat." That little girl, I think your brother really treats you well."“
Even a passer-by could understand this logic, so how could Bai not?
"Boatman, which country is the most peaceful?”Ximen Chuixue suddenly asked.
"The most prosperous place is the Fire Country, and the most orderly and peaceful place is the Wood Leaf Ninja Village. The Fire Country has a natural geographical advantage, and it's like spring all year round.”The boatman explained as he rowed the boat.
"Muye?" Ximen Chuixue took out a map from his pocket and carefully looked at the location of Mu Ye. He actually wanted to stay away from the conflict. Bai's performance just now had suddenly made him feel a little touched. Perhaps he was really too self-centered and had neglected Bai's feelings.
He was used to being alone and free, but he had to consider the feelings of his family. It seemed that he had to give Bai a good place to go. When in Rome, do as the locals do. This was the only way." Brother, have you thought about where we're going?”Bai couldn't help but ask curiously.
"I want to send you to Muye." Ximen Chuixue looked at the map.
"But I don't know anyone there.”
"A child of your age should have entered a ninja school long ago.”Ximen Chuixue explained," At the very least, I don't want to see your childhood be carefree.”
"Really? You can go to the Ninja School?"
"Yes." Ximen Chuixue's expression returned to its previous state. He closed his eyes and sat quietly at the bow of the ship. Sometimes, people still had to think about their loved ones. Even though his original intention was to be free by himself, giving Bai a comfortable living environment was also quite good.
As for whether Mu Ye's people would agree to it, he had never considered that. After all, he was Ximen Chuixue, and that was enough.
