Chapter 209: Yiyi, are you back?
“Bam bam bam bam—”
After hearing Ye Anping’s words, Feng Yudie quickly applauded and praised, “Young Master Ye is impressive!”
However, seeing her reaction, Ye Anping felt a bit puzzled. She always seemed to praise him strangely, so he furrowed his brow and squinted, asking in return, “Are you being sarcastic?”
“No, no…” Feng Yudie scratched the back of her head and chuckled sheepishly. “I just genuinely think Young Master Ye is very thorough.”
Ye Anping rolled his eyes at her and then turned to the bewildered junior sister beside him. Seeing her expression, he knew she probably didn’t understand anything, so he said, “Junior sister, let me explain what you need…”
Just as he was about to explain, Pei Lianxue glanced at Feng Yudie, feeling aggrieved for no apparent reason.
It was the same as before. Whenever the senior brother talked about something, Feng Yudie could always keep up with his thoughts and respond accordingly, while she couldn’t even catch up with him.
Since childhood, she would do whatever her senior brother said, and that was what he told her, but Feng Yudie could understand it, so surely she could, too!
Although she didn’t understand now, she must learn to understand.
Pei Lianxue interrupted immediately, “Senior brother, I understand! I just want Yun Xi to be taken away by those people, right!”
“…”
It was rare to be interrupted by his junior sister when discussing crucial matters. Ye Anping paused briefly, then showed a wry smile, reaching to pinch her cheek, “No.”
“Ah… isn’t it?” Pei Lianxue’s gaze turned slightly disappointed. “Oh…”
“You just need to protect Yun Xi, don’t let her be captured, and don’t let her lose her life. Besides that, there is another thing.”
“Um…”
“After encountering the attackers, go to Sword Sect to find Elder Hu or any other elder in the Nascent Soul stage, and take them to the cave on the snow top of Qiong Peak outside the Sword Sect.”
Ye Anping looked back at Feng Yudie, saying, “Yun Jiujiu will be taken there by them, and you need to follow secretly. I will also sneak in, and Yun Yiyi will also be taken. At that time, you and I need to help them delay until Junior Sister and Yun Xi come with the elders of Sword Sect, understand?”
“Can’t we just directly take them out and escape?”
“If everything goes as planned, several cultivators will be inside the core formation stage, and Zhuang Yan will also be there. Our chances of winning in a confrontation should be higher. Moreover, letting Yun Jiujiu and Yun Yiyi experience hardship together will also help improve their relationship.”
Feng Yudie nodded in agreement, took a deep breath, stood tall, and exclaimed loudly, “Alright, I understand!!!”
Ye Anping was startled by her loud voice, but Pei Lianxue quickly responded with an even louder voice before he could gather his thoughts, “Okay!!!”
Taking a deep breath, Ye Anping looked up at the night owl stirred by their commotion, feeling a mix of resignation and weariness. “It’s good to have spirit, but we’re working covertly. Do you want to attract the patrolling Sword Sect disciples?”
“Oh… Ehehehe—”
“Alright, let’s head back for now. The next meeting will be on the second night after Yun Jiujiu and the others are kidnapped same place,” Ye Anping said.
“Sounds good~” Feng Yudie nodded, then glanced at Pei Lianxue, asking, “Sister Pei, do you want to kiss me?”
Pei Lianxue scrunched up her nose and replied, “No.”
Feng Yudie tapped her lips, leaning closer. “Huh! Why not? I even put some honey on my lips before coming. It’s sweet. Give it a try. It’s better than Young Master Ye’s.”
Pei Lianxue recoiled with a look of disgust. “No!”
“Oh, come on, just give it a try. It won’t cost you anything. Trying won’t hurt,” Feng Yudie persisted.
Pei Lianxue shook her head firmly. “No!!”
At this moment, Ye Anping, who had been standing by, grabbed Feng Yudie’s hair.
“Huh!”
Feng Yudie turned to see Ye Anping’s eyes filled with murderous intent, and he spoke in a plain tone, “Let’s go back.”
Feng Yudie’s head shrank in response, and she pitifully licked the honey on her lips, saying, “Oh…”
She pouted, glancing reluctant at Pei Lianxue, but ultimately relented, waving her hand. “Junior Sister Pei, see you later.”
Feng Yudie summoned her flying sword and disappeared into the night sky.
After she left, Ye Anping sighed in relief and summoned his flying sword.
“Junior sister, you should head back too,” He said.
“Okay…” Pei Lianxue nodded with a crestfallen expression. She had hoped to spend more time with her senior brother after Feng Yudie left, but since he told her to go, she didn’t argue. She turned around and summoned her flying sword, ready to depart.
However, as she turned around, Ye Anping suddenly grabbed her shoulder and turned her back, gently lifting her chin with his right hand and pressing his lips against hers.
Chirp~~~
Their lips lightly brushed against each other before parting.
Pei Lianxue was momentarily stunned, and a blush spread across her face. She couldn’t understand why, but this kiss, although not as forceful as the previous one, felt more comforting than the twenty or thirty kisses combined.
Ye Anping smiled helplessly. “Junior sister, kissing is something that can’t be forced. A kiss is about both form and intention. Only when the heart is involved, it’s a true kiss. What you did to me earlier, that’s called nibbling.”
Pei Lianxue tilted her head in confusion. “Um!”
Ye Anping gently rubbed her cheek and chuckled. “You’ll understand eventually. I’ll teach you.”
“Um!!”
After giving her junior sister’s head a playful rub and satisfying his urge, Ye Anping hopped back onto his flying sword and flew towards Yishui Peak.
The silver moon hung overhead, and the cold wind rustled through the trees.
Ye Anping landed in the forest beneath Yishui Peak and observed for a while. Once the next group of patrolling disciples flew away, he cautiously ascended the mountain, retracing his steps along the same path he had taken.
Inside the Yun Mansion on Yishui Peak, the lights in the various rooms had been extinguished, and even the maids patrolling the corridors had retired to their quarters. The guards outside the main gate were dozing off with their spears.
Ye Anping stealthily walked along the path and soon arrived at his bedroom door.
Squeak—
He gently pushed open the door and entered the room. However, as he closed the bedroom door behind him, a candle suddenly flickered to life inside the room. A girl in white pyjamas, her hair tousled, sat on a pearwood chair beside the bed as if she had been waiting for quite some time.
Ye Anping remained unfazed. He had anticipated the possibility of being discovered sneaking out, so he quickly assumed a look of surprise and asked, “Miss Yun, why are you still awake at this hour?”
