Chapter 194: Jiujiu, you are my brain
Squeak——
The gates of the Sword Pavilion were pulled open. Yun Yiyi and Yun Jiujiu, staring at each other at the entrance, quickly turned their heads to look.
Upon seeing Ye Anping coming out, Yun Yiyi picked up the tea that had been brewed by the Yishui Peak disciples and rushed forward,
“Young Master Ye, this is Jianzhong’s pure tea. It has a calming and soothing effect. You’ve been inside for so long. Take a sip to relax.”
Ye Anping politely removed his face mask and blood-stained gloves, took the teacup, took a small sip, and indeed felt the sweet aftertaste of the tea masking the previous strong smell of blood. Both his body and mind felt much relieved.
“Thank you, Miss.”
“Helping my husband with a cup of tea, how could it be considered a bother?”
Meanwhile, Yun Jiujiu was watching with a look of disdain. However, amidst the disdain, there was a slight sense of displeasure. Watching Feng Yudie also coming out, she looked around and realized she hadn’t prepared any pure tea. Finally, she picked up the jade gourd hanging from her waist, walked over, and grabbed Feng Yudie’s mouth.
“Hmm!”
Feng Yudie hadn’t recovered yet when Yun Jiujiu stuffed the jade gourd into her mouth, shaking it vigorously.
“Here! I’ve prepared something to soothe your mind. This is a twenty-year-old rare brew! It’s excellent. I usually can’t bear to drink it myself.”
Gudu Gudu Gudu——
As the wine passed through her throat, it was intense and spicy, choking Feng Yudie. Her eyes rolled, and wine even flowed out of her nostrils. Ultimately, she held her breath, pushed Yun Jiujiu away, and left herself a way out.
“Cough, cough—”
Feng Yudie wiped her nose and mouth and couldn’t help but curse, “Are you trying to kill me?”
“Ah…” Yun Jiujiu was stunned, “Can’t handle it!”
On the other hand, Yun Yiyi couldn’t bear to watch. She sighed softly, then waved her hand, indicating the Yishui Peak disciples waiting nearby to bring Feng Yudie a cup of tea.
“Lord Feng, how about a cup of tea to calm down?”
Yun Jiujiu frowned and glared, “Who wants to drink your lousy tea? Brother Yu, don’t you agree…”
Just as Yun Jiujiu was about to wave the teacup away, Feng Yudie beat her to it, holding the teacup in her hand. She quickly drank it in one gulp, burped, and said,
“Thank you, Miss Yun, for saving my life. Whew…”
“You’re welcome.”
Yun Yiyi smiled and nodded, glancing at her second sister. Seeing her second sister, who was now shamefully clutching her toes and biting her lip, she felt relieved. Taking advantage of the situation, she said,
“Master Feng, if you’re following my second sister for the spirit stone, why not come to Yishui Peak? She may offer you a monthly gift, but I’ll double it. What do you think?”
Feng Yudie’s eyes instantly lit up hearing the double monthly gift, but Yun Jiujiu suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Yun Jiujiu protected Feng Yudie behind her, glared at Yun Yiyi, and said,
“Damn it, Yun Yiyi!! Do you believe I’ll beat you up…”
“What if I beat you up? The second sister, judging from Master Feng’s accent, seems to be from the Western Region. It looks like he’s here to make a living. Can’t we have a fair competition? Whether he stays on your Sword Wine Peak or comes to my Water Dependence Peak, let Master Feng decide for himself.”
“You…”
The two of them were arguing with each other. Feng Yudie suddenly caught a glimpse of Ye Anping giving him another look. After thinking for a while, he quickly returned to his senses and interrupted, “Thanks to Miss Yun for your kindness, but I promised you two before. Miss, so I can still refuse.”
Hearing these words, the worry on Yun Jiujiu’s face instantly dissipated. She was terrified that Feng Yu would be abducted by her sister, so she immediately slapped Feng Yudie on the back and laughed loudly.
“Humph! Brother Yu is discerning and can tell who among us is good and who is bad.”
Yun Yiyi forced a smile on her face and prepared to set up the steps to come down, “Since Mr Feng answered like this, I won’t say anything more, but if Mr Feng wants to do it later, he can always…”
“Brother Yu won’t go!!” Yun Jiujiu kicked her steps away, “He belongs to me! Humph!”
“…”
Ye Anping, who was watching the two sisters quarrelling all the time, couldn’t help but sigh, took a step forward, changed the topic, and said,
“Let’s talk about the case first. There is something fishy about this murder case. The twenty-seven people who died were probably moved here after their deaths. Moreover, there are strong signs of man-made arrangements at the scene. It seems that there is more than one culprit.”
Yun Yiyi lowered her eyes after hearing the words and thought for a while,
“Intentional! So there is a group of people working secretly. The purpose is not to kill the disciples of the Sword Sect, but to get something else from these disciples!”
“Yes, but I don’t know what exactly I am thinking about.”
“In this case…”
Yun Yiyi pondered for a while, ready to let the disciples of Yishui Peak do the work. However, just as she was facing the stairs of the sword pavilion and about to speak, Yun Jiujiu stepped hard on the stone bricks under her feet and shouted with significant momentum,
“I have objections!”
Yun Yiyi twisted her eyebrows and looked at her, raising her eyebrows to indicate, He said it.
Yun Jiujiu looked at Feng Yudie beside him and said, “The little woman next to you just says whatever she says. My brother Yu hasn’t spoken yet!”
Feng Yudie looked confused, her eyes full of doubts–What should she said?
“Brother Yu! Tell me, what’s going on with this case?”
Feng Yudie held it in for a while, then cupped her hands and said,
“Me too. I have the same idea as Young Master Ye.”
“Ah…” Yun Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, his face instantly full of embarrassment. She pressed her toes on the ground and curled her lips, “…Brother Yu, you think so too, then okay… That’s probably how it is.”
Yun Yiyi gave her second sister an extensive look, and with a speechless expression, she handed over five Yishui Peak disciples from the steps and gave the order,
“The five of you, go to the Dui Ming Hall to find out the names of these twenty-seven, and then lead people to ask the people who are closest to them one by one.”
At this point, she stopped talking, looked at Ye Anping aside, and asked with her eyes.
Ye Anping understood and whispered in her ear, “The time of death is within five days.”
Yun Yiyi nodded and continued, “Ask these people about their itinerary in the past five days. Find out where each of them has been and where they have been. I will give you two days.”
“Yes…”
“Then…” Yun Yiyi paused, looked at the gold-lettered signboard of “My Heavenly Sword Pavilion” above, and asked, “Where is the Master Xue of My Heavenly Sword Pavilion?”
“Back to Miss Xue, we haven’t found Pavilion Master Xue. We asked the surrounding shops before. They said that no one has seen Pavilion Master Xue since yesterday afternoon.”
“Hurry up and arrange for someone to find him. You must bring him to me today. Who discovered the scene next?”
“It’s the alchemy shop owner across the street.”
“Well… take us there.”
Yun Yiyi nodded and then led Ye Anping down the stairs towards the alchemy room opposite the sword pavilion.
Watching the two of them walking down, Yun Jiujiu took a deep breath, then took Feng Yudie’s wrist and asked,
“Brother Yu, they are gone. Where are we going?”
“Huh!” Feng Yudie tilted her head, “Let’s follow them.”
Yun Jiujiu puffed up her cheeks. Although she was stupid and couldn’t quite understand what was going on, she also knew that if she followed Yun Yiyi, she would be one step behind her no matter what.
“Don’t you have any way to find the thief faster?”
“…”
Yun Jiujiu straightened her chest, raised her head, and patted her chest.
Bang bang——
“Everyone in Sword Wine Peak listens to me, and I listen to you! You can do whatever you want. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it! Anything is fine!”
“Now that martial law is under martial law in the city, the thieves may still be hiding there. How about we go to the city and search around?”
“Okay! Listen to you!”
Looking at Feng Yudie, Yun Jiujiu grinned, grabbed her wrist, ran down the stairs, and sprinted towards the street.
