The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix C248

Chapter 248: Yiyi, ask and answer your own questions

Clang—

The Black Ice Spiritual Sword sang from its sheath, tracing ten silver streaks in the air like a dazzling spectacle. Yun Yiyi fixated on Pei Lianxue’s graceful figure, feeling dizzy. Despite employing the same Leaves Shadow Sword Technique as Yun Xi, Pei Lianxue surpassed her by far in both skill and sword essence. Yun Yiyi even glimpsed shades of her father’s swordsmanship in Pei Lianxue.

Yun Xi stood beside her, visibly impressed by Pei Lianxue’s swordplay but not stunned. She patted Yun Yiyi on the shoulder and remarked, “Back then, you didn’t believe me. I told you about the sword techniques, but you and Jiujiu didn’t pay much attention. Sister Pei practices the Leaves Shadow Sword Technique, while Young Master Ye practices the Questioning Sword Technique. Both of these techniques are family secrets, passed down through generations, and only our father could master them in the world. They were definitely born to him secretly outside.”

Yun Yiyi fell silent, her eyes betraying her sorrow. Ye Anping enjoyed hitting girls, and he was her biological brother. For her, the realization was indeed quite thrilling.

But excitement aside…

It had been explicitly stated in the immortal laws that relatives within three generations should never become Daoist couples. If she insisted on marrying Ye Anping, it would not only harm herself but also him.

Yun Yiyi couldn’t help but feel that life was terribly unfair. After nearly seventy years, she had finally found a man she truly liked, only to discover that he was her brother.

She bit her lip, still unwilling to accept it, and argued, “Although the Leaves Shadow Sword Technique is a family secret, is it possible that Father has taught it to outsiders? Is it reasonable to recognize kinship based on just one sword technique?”

Yun Xi shrugged and gestured towards the Snow Qiong Spiritual Sword in Pei Lianxue’s hand. “Grandfather’s sword could serve as evidence. Do you think he would pass it to an outsider? Surely, he saw the Yun family blood flowing in Sister Pei’s veins before passing it to her.”

“…,” Yun Yiyi had no reason to refute anymore, her expression turning bitter once again.

Yun Xi was right. The Snow Qiong Spiritual Sword held great significance, both for the Yun family and the Moon Shadow Sword Sect. There was no way the Yun patriarch would pass it on to an outsider.

Seeing Yun Yiyi’s despondent expression, Yun Xi quickly comforted her, “I can see you truly care for Ye Anping, but he’s your brother. Be rational. Weren’t you always sensible before? Don’t lose sight of the bigger picture over a small matter.”

“Um…”

Yun Yiyi glanced at Yun Xi, exhaling heavily. Yet, in her heart, she couldn’t help but harbour a deeper resentment towards her father. It was all her father’s fault, his indiscretions causing rifts between her and her sisters, causing her to miss out on the only person she ever liked, and almost meeting her end at the hands of a Sword Sect elder…

All the calamities of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect stemmed from the pits her father dug in the past. He created the mess but left them, his daughters, to suffer for it…

Yun Yiyi cursed silently in her heart, clenching her fists at her sides with a sharp “click” sound.

After a while, she spoke up, “I understand. In a few days, I will discuss the matter of Qianjian Pond with the elders, and then we will go together to conquer Yun Kunwu. The plan will be set for seven days from now. How does that sound?”

“I have no objections,” Yun Xi replied.

“Then I’ll take my leave first, and so will Sister Pei…” Yun Yiyi bid farewell to Yun Xi and Pei Lianxue, then turned and walked out of the yard, departing on her flying sword.

After she left, Pei Lianxue retrieved her Snow Qiong Sword and returned to Yun Xi’s side, asking, “Have you reconciled with her?”

“We’re probably okay now,” Yun Xi said with a furrowed brow, looking at Pei Lianxue with confusion. “Sister Pei, why are you so eager for us to reconcile? It’s none of your business what’s going on between Yun Yiyi and me.”

“Well…” Pei Lianxue pondered for a moment, then said, “Aren’t I your biological sister too? A sister doesn’t want to see her siblings quarrel.”

“You’ve known all along that Ye Anping is your brother.”

“…Yeah.”

“And you still want to marry him?”

Pei Lianxue played dumb, “Why can’t I?”

“Of course not!!” Yun Xi scolded, her brows furrowed. “Sister Pei, relationships between blood relatives…”

Yun Xi put her arm around her shoulder and began lecturing Pei Lianxue on ethics while Pei Lianxue listened expressionlessly, nodding absentmindedly.

She was actually thinking about whether her senior brother would praise her or treat her differently if he knew she had helped Yun Yiyi.

As dusk fell, Yun Yiyi rode her sword alone back to Jianjiu Peak, feeling the wind on her face like a knife.

Ye Anping was her biological brother. Ye Anping was her biological brother…

She repeated this in her mind, feeling more and more unwilling and uncomfortable. But she also had a question. Did Ye Anping know that he was her biological brother?

If he did, why would he want to marry her? Why didn’t he tell her about this when they first met?

Yun Yiyi bit her lip lightly, feeling that Ye Anping seemed to know everything but didn’t tell her, complaining,

“Anping, how many things are you hiding from me?”

When Yun Yiyi arrived back at Jianjiu Peak, the sun had completely set, and the red clouds on the horizon indicated that night had arrived. However, Jianjiu Peak was still bustling with activity, with many Sword Sect disciples still diligently practising martial arts on the training grounds.

She landed her sword at the entrance of Yunjiu Mansion, and the two core formation disciples guarding the entrance quickly approached and saluted.

“Seen the eldest lady,” One of the guards saluted.

“Mm…” Yun Yiyi furrowed her brows and inquired, “Is Young Master Ye still around?”

“Young Master Ye is currently in the main hall, drinking and chatting with the Second Young Lady and Young Master Feng,” Came the reply.

“I see.”

Yun Yiyi contemplated how she would face Ye Anping in the future as she stepped into the mansion. But perhaps due to the strong feelings of reluctance and desire in her heart, a troubling thought suddenly emerged.

Even if she and Ye Anping couldn’t be together in the future, as long as she pretended not to know about everything, then she wouldn’t be at fault. It was all because of her overly affectionate father.

She liked Ye Anping too much. Even after pondering Yun Xi’s words on the way back, she couldn’t completely let go of Ye Anping. He was the first person she had fallen for in over sixty years.

Yun Yiyi felt like she was following in her mother’s footsteps. Despite the short time they spent together, she was already deeply involved.

She halted her steps, revealing a bitter smile, and asked herself,

“Yun Yiyi, are you truly infatuated, a foolish girl? Is he really that great?”

Then, she answered herself,

“Mm, he is that great.”

Yun Yiyi closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh, determined. With her fists clenched tightly, she headed towards the direction of the main hall.
