Chapter 8

But I interrupted him directly and just asked, "What is our relationship? Why do you look at me with such sadness?"

Master fell into silence.

Eventually, he took me to sit in the garden.

"I confessed to you back then."

Master's face actually turned a bit red.

I blinked. With his looks, how could I disagree?

"But you rejected me on the spot, saying only to reconsider it after achieving immortality."

He shook his head.

"Am I really that ungrateful?"

I looked at him in surprise.

If I couldn't appreciate such a handsome man, how blind would I be?

"No, it should be that I'm not good enough for you. Among those who pursued you back then, there were too many who were the pride of the sky. I was just the most unremarkable among them."

Master gave a bitter smile.

"If it weren't for relying on my status as your senior brother, I definitely wouldn't have dared to confess to you."

His smile was very bitter.

But I just stared at him in shock.

Was I really such a person?
