"But I can become your appendage, even if I cannot be in the limelight."

"This, for me, is the true compensation from the Holy Medicine Sect, or perhaps it's the real reward."

Hong Luan's words left Qin Han momentarily speechless.

He looked into the eyes that held a trace of expectation, feeling the heated air around them.

Ultimately, Qin Han made a decision, patting Hong Luan's shoulder earnestly and said, "You are a very dazzling girl. Your martial arts cultivation has unknowingly surpassed mine and advanced further."

"You are at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm, soon reaching the late stages."

"If you follow your own cultivation path, it might take decades to take that final step."

"You must experience the wanderings between life and death to grasp the true essence of that ultimate point."

"Thus, what you need most right now is a chance to accelerate your breakthrough, not stepping down to choose more options from a higher place."

"The Holy Medicine Sect may seem stable like Mount Tai, but for any upcoming crises, they might lead to its obliteration."

"So, under such circumstances, if I give you even the slightest hint of affection, it might be a disaster for both of us," Qin Han said softly.

Hong Luan's face, which tried to approach, suddenly froze, the blush quickly fading from her cheeks.

The originally created atmosphere was immediately extinguished by his diverted words.

She knew that inside the Holy Medicine Sect, she had the image of a female general, not letting men overshadow her.

But in fact, whether in terms of figure or looks, she was undoubtedly equivalent to an existence that, in the mundane world, could attract countless male admirers.

And over the years, she had always been waiting for the only person who was the white moonlight in her heart.

Thus, she never let anyone get close, yet she didn't expect that her proud efforts couldn't surpass the family accompanying Qin Han now.

Perhaps Song Yuwei sister is indeed much better than her? So she deserves to win his only affection.

Hong Luan has a stubborn personality, but she's not a fool.

After several proactive approaches, she naturally knows that in the world of adults, an absence of a clear answer is a form of indirect rejection.

Hong Luan gradually retreated, maintaining a normal distance and murmured:

"If I had discovered earlier that you are the Sect Leader, how great would it be! I wouldn't have ended up like a deceived little girl now, like always asking adults for candy."

"If outsiders saw me, Hong Luan, with tears, how much gossip and ridicule would ensue?"

"In the past, when fighting with people from the Eternal Life Hall, I suffered serious injuries, even broke a few bones, yet I didn't let out a single hum."

"Qin Han, I understand what you mean, but I do not want to become your sister."

"I hate you! But I will still do my utmost to serve the Holy Medicine Sect!"

Qin Han sighed inwardly, thinking that if it's a blessing or a curse, it's unavoidable.

When he was at the Holy Dragon Sect, he was very clear that managing his subordinates must be arranged meticulously; there can't be any negligence.

If there arises some disagreements or lack of care, it might result in total failure.

This differs from the concept of the group managed by Song Yuwei, as all members in the Holy Medicine Sect are martial artists, let alone those above the mid-level with powerful strength.

If anyone starts to grow rebellious and wants to defect, joining enemy factions might bring considerable harm.

Thus, Qin Han has never effectively resolved Hong Luan's blatant affection for him.

He can only evade everywhere, assuming the role of a brother to reassure and calm her.

If he truly chose to distance, then given such a stubborn character, she might do something foolish.

With a soft voice, Qin Han said, "I know no matter what I say or do, it's insufficient to change the guilt I owe you."

"But sometimes a fondness does not need to be presented together."

"As long as you can stay by my side, what is there to regret?"

"Throughout these years in the hospital, I witnessed numerous joys and sorrows and the bond of existence between patients and their relatives."

"Thus, as long as your beloved ones and those who matter are healthy and alive, staying by your side is already the greatest happiness in the world. Sometimes, excessive pursuit of results turns into obsession."

During his consultation period at the First Hospital, Qin Han indeed realized too much about the principles of life and death.

Sometimes, if patients are stressing over things, it doesn't only make life unhappy but also quickens the approach to the end.

Rather, treasuring the current moments and enjoying the beauty of existence, isn't it a form of release?

With regards to Hong Luan's karmic entanglement, Qin Han could say only this much.

"I understand now. If Song Yuwei sister wasn't so wonderful, I might still want to fight," Hong Luan said with a forced smile.

If she doesn't accept it now, what else can she do?

She no longer knows what identity she should use to throw tantrums in front of Qin Han.

Obviously, during those days in the villa, Hong Luan had already adapted to that mode of interaction.

Not to mention, Song Yuwei treats her well and understands the difference between men and women, even though Qin Han is her lifelong sought after Sect Leader, her previous good brother!

Seeing Hong Luan's emotions gradually stabilize, Qin Han finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing his consolation was effective.

"Sister, let's return to the main topic."

Qin Han coughed into his fist to show seriousness, then continued, "Before you returned, I had already explained to Bow Rain Bo and others about the Holy Medicine Sect's plan."

"That is, the entire Holy Medicine Sect's force should prepare to search for traces of the Eternal Life Hall because I am about to have the ultimate battle with the Eternal Life Hall Master!"

"Originally, I didn't want you involved in this matter because the Eternal Life Hall is no good."

"They never act according to conventions and offer no mercy to potential threats and opponents."

"So, Hong Luan, I now regard you as family, and there's also an urgent matter suitable for you and me to resolve together."

"I just hope you will agree?"

Hong Luan was first stunned by his words, then returned to her usual demeanor, respectfully saluting, "Yes, Sect Leader, subordinate Hong Luan is willing to loyally serve the Holy Medicine Sect and execute tasks to the death!"
