Anyway, Seventh Master Jian found him an eyesore lingering near Ye Qingci and forbade him from getting too close to her. In truth, he was also afraid that being too close to Ye Qingci would expose his true feelings.
His feelings for Ye Qingci were something she must absolutely never know.
If Ye Qingci only saw them as siblings, they could remain good siblings for a lifetime.
Ye Qingci would trust him wholeheartedly, no matter what happened, she could be honest with him, consult him, and he could help her, accompany her, and encourage her.
But the moment Ye Qingci discovered his feelings, given her personality, she would absolutely distance herself from him.
In that case, they wouldn't even be able to remain siblings.
He would also lose the identity and opportunity to care for her and stay by her side.
He would never allow that to happen.
Besides, he convinced himself that now, he truly only saw Ye Qingci as a sibling.
Compared to the dazzling Jian Shichu, he was nothing.
