Chapter 208: Senior brother, drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf
Gugugu… gugugu…
The call of the night owl sounded in the forest, seeming to irritate the eyes, urging the trio under the ancient tree to wrap up their business and depart promptly.
Ye Anping stood up, a perplexed expression on his face as he observed his junior sister’s guilt-ridden demeanour, feeling a tinge of bitterness inexplicably.
Love and kisses between two individuals should be as gentle as a stream and intimate as intertwined lotus silk. They should synchronize with each other’s rhythm, exchanging breath and bodily fluids, gradually becoming one with synchronized heartbeats. However, when kissing his junior sister, she seemed oblivious to his feelings, exerting force without regard, sucking in air from his lungs with each breath.
Moreover, the kissing felt more like pecking than tender affection. Yet again, Ye Anping couldn’t help but wonder if beneath his junior sister’s fragile and obedient exterior lurked a somewhat “S” personality.
Her behaviour towards Ahting before was indeed overly assertive. It appeared she needed some education on how to kiss correctly in the future, but not now, especially with a silver-haired girl present.
“Ah—”
Ye Anping sighed, then turned to Feng Yudie. Feng Yudie maintained her usual silly grin and, upon noticing his gaze, quickly remarked, “Young Master Ye, kissing won’t make babies anyway. Besides, if Junior Sister Pei kisses you, should I just stand by like a bystander? It feels like I’m just an onlooker.”
“….”
Moving forward, junior sister should be cautioned not to kiss him in front of this one… Ye Anping pursed his lips, shook his head without responding to her, then turned back to his junior sister and inquired, “Junior sister, how’s Yun Xi doing? Where did she go after we parted ways yesterday?”
“Uh…” Pei Lianxue nodded, then pulled out a small notebook from her bag, flipping through it momentarily before saying, “After helping Yun Jiujiu pull Feng Yu out of the wall, Yun Xi made a stop. She went to Yuntian Restaurant to buy braised pork. After finding five flies in it halfway through, she vomited and bathed. She started by rubbing her belly, then armpits, and finally had the maid help her wash her back and hair. While getting out of the tub, she slipped and fell. She searched for a gold waistband in her room, only to find a hole, so she grabbed a red one instead…”
Ye Anping was stunned for a long time and raised his hand to stop. He felt a little tired for no reason, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that his junior sister was so scared.
Before sending his junior sister to Yun Xi’s place, he told her to watch Yun Xi and report Yun Xi’s every move to him during the meeting, but this record could have been more detailed.
“Junior sister, what about that… I’ll see for myself.”
“Oh…”
Pei Lianxue nodded blankly and handed over the small book in her hand. Ye Anping picked up the book and flipped through a few pages, only to realize that what his junior sister had just said had been omitted. The content in the tiny book was so detailed that even the big data of his previous life might be inferior.
Even about Yun Xi eating braised pork, he wrote,
After eating three pieces of braised pork, she found the first fly and said, “You’re not sick after eating it!” She took it out and continued eating. When she ate the fifth piece, she found the second fly and said, “Hiss—it’s gone.” Take it out and continue eating…
Feng Yudie also curiously ran to Ye Anping’s side, glanced at the small book, raised her eyebrows, and praised,
“Junior sister Pei is so amazing!”
Pei Lianxue nodded and smiled, “I will do what my senior brother has told me to do.”
“…”
Ye Anping looked at the two of them speechlessly, and after browsing for a while, he finally found what he wanted to see – Yun Xi asked Zhang Yihe to find Yun Kun and bring him to Xiri Peak, but the search lasted all afternoon, and no one was found.
Just as he thought, Yun Xi still had lingering fears about the murder case, and she probably wouldn’t let it go until she found out.
As long as Yun Xi was checking, that was fine. If she was studying, it meant that her plot line had not stopped. Now, the three of them each took their plot line. In the end, these three plot lines must merge at the same time. It didn’t matter who was faster or who was slower.
If one person’s plot line stopped or deviated from the original path, the ending of the three ladies of the Yun family would not be good.
After returning the small notebook to his junior sister, Ye Anping turned his head to Feng Yudie, who was now close to him,
“Huh! What about you?”
“My side…” Feng Yudie touched her chin and said, “There was a group of unknown gangsters who wanted to ambush me, but I killed them. I thought about it this afternoon and felt it was probably our fault. There is something wrong with the man surnamed Xue that I met in the city, and there is also something wrong with the elder who took him away.”
Ye Anping was slightly surprised, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “Zhuang Yan!”
“Yes! That’s him.” Feng Yudie curled her lips, raised her index finger, and reasoned, “Young Master Ye, you see, I haven’t done much in the past few days, and that group of people is obviously after my life. Yes, apart from the master of the Sword Pavilion, I didn’t offend anyone else, right? However, the master of the Sword Pavilion was arrested, and since there are still people coming to trouble me, it means that he was probably not caught! ”
Ye Anping nodded in agreement. “Well…”
Observing Ye Anping’s nod, Feng Yudie’s eyes lit up, confirming her suspicion. She quickly added, “Shouldn’t we take action? That person is quite formidable, and we’ve all provoked him. Shouldn’t we eliminate him first? There’s that saying, ‘Hatred never ends overnight.’ It’s been a whole night.”
“I’ve already handled it. As for Elder Zhuang, we need to be equipped to deal with them. We’ll need to lure the elders of the Sword Sect to handle them for us,” Ye Anping explained.
“Like driving the tiger to devour the wolf, right? I get it! Hehe,” Feng Yudie chuckled.
“Ah…” Ye Anping sighed.
Early this morning, he had anticipated that Zhuang Yan would plan to assassinate and attack the three young ladies of the Yun family to refine the Blood Spirit Pearl. However, due to their appearance in front of Zhuang Yan yesterday, Ye Anping had expected the first attack to be directed at Yun Yiyi. Yet, to his surprise, Zhuang Yan targeted Yun Jiujiu first. The ambush on Feng Yudie was likely because Zhuang Yan detected her Holy Emperor bloodline and sought to eliminate the potential threat.
With this in mind, Ye Anping continued, “Senior Sister Feng, there may be individuals attempting to infiltrate Jianjiu Peak in the next few days to abduct Yun Jiujiu. They might use intoxicating incense like Mystic God or tamper with the food.”
Feng Yudie pondered for a moment, then nodded. “So, all I need to do is prevent them from kidnapping her. It’s simple! I’ve been guarding her bedroom door every day.”
“No…” Ye Anping interjected, “You must assist the group in secret as much as possible to ensure they can abduct Yun Jiujiu smoothly and quietly, but you must also ensure her safety.”
“Why?” Feng Yudie asked.
Ye Anping smiled faintly and asked, “Do you understand the concept of ‘the besiegers must be guarded’?”
“Yeah, I know! My master told me… When you surround the enemy, you should leave a gap…” Feng Yudie responded.
After contemplating, Feng Yudie suddenly understood and said, “You’re afraid of pushing them to desperation!”
“Yes. Yesterday, in jail, I made Zhuang Yan suffer a significant setback in eliminating Xue Xinghai. Now, I need to ease up on him and offer him a reward. The reward I’ve prepared is the ‘Blood Spirit Pearl,'” Ye Anping explained.
He sighed heavily and concluded, “Vicious dogs aren’t scary. It’s the mad ones that pose a problem. No one can predict when a mad dog will suddenly lash out.”
