Chapter 388: Senior brother, you have many wings
The incense burner in the hall was filled with white smoke, and the soothing incense soaked into the noses of the two people in the hall. It was extremely peaceful.
Just like telling stories to Pei Lianxue when she was a child, Ye Anping put his arm around her waist, let her lean on his chest, and slowly told her about the unknown past between himself and Xiao Yunluo.
From the very beginning when he became an accompanying student, he and Xiao Yunluo returned to the Hundred Lotus Sect to build the foundation——
The night we arrived at Chilong Mansion, we frankly bathed in the Water and Earth Spiritual Spring——
In Emperor Sect, when returned to the inn that night, Xiao Yunluo danced without music in the street——
Finally, on the boat on the return trip of Emperor Sect, they hugged and kissed each other and confessed——
“Although Yunluo is full of things, she is a good girl, and she has no scheming and fussy thoughts.”
When Ye Anping said this, he put his chin on his junior sister’s shoulder, looked at her cheek, hesitated for a while, and asked, “Junior sister, you don’t accept me marrying her as a Daoist companion?”
Pei Lianxue lowered her head slightly and bit her lips. She felt quite uncomfortable. Who would have thought that her only friend had become a sneaky cat, and she didn’t tell her?
The point was, she didn’t tell her.
According to what the senior brother said, Yunluo had been with his senior brother since before the Core Formation Thunder Tribulation, but she had not told her in the two years since the Tribulation, and in the six months since she came to the Northern Domain.
She slowly turned her head and looked at her senior brother’s face, tears welling up in her eyes, and she asked in a low voice, “…If I don’t accept it, senior brother, will you tell her?”
“Yes.” Ye Anping nodded without thinking, and at the same time pulled her into his arms, “Senior brother, I will listen to you on this matter.”
“Ugh…” Pei Lianxue sniffed and continued to ask, “Does the Senior Brother like her?”
Ye Anping reached out to scrape the tears from the corners of her eyes and said honestly:
“I like.”
“Suck…”
“You are already a cultivator in the core-formation stage, and you are still crying. Senior brother knows that you are feeling uncomfortable. So, how about you give senior brother a beating? This is indeed the senior brother’s problem, and the senior brother can’t argue with it.”
“…”
Pei Lianxue slowly pushed away Ye Anping’s hands holding her waist, stood up, and turned to face him sitting on the bed. Seeing this, Ye Anping took a breath, closed his eyes, and was mentally prepared for a slap or a beating.
Dare I ask, which woman in the world is not possessive of the person she loves?
Deep love, deep hatred.
The more you like someone, the more sad you will be when betrayed.
Ye Anping was not afraid that his junior sister would be angry when she found out, but he was afraid that she would not have any reaction after hearing it. If the resentment and conflicts were kept hidden in her heart, they would only accumulate and become the fuse of a bomb.
“Suck–”
“Well… Junior sister, come.”
Ye Anping, who was mentally prepared, held his breath and waited for Pei Lianxue’s hand to fall on his face. However, what was waiting was not a violent beating or a loud slap in the face.
Puff–
Pei Lianxue threw herself into his arms and burst into tears as if she couldn’t help it:
“Ooohhhhhhhh——! Senior brother!!”
Ye Anping gasped for air from the headbutt. Compared to Wu Tianci’s full-strength punch from the core-forming period of physical training, he felt that the impact from his junior sister was a little more painful.
He gently pressed the back of junior sister’s head, “Senior brother is here. If you have anything to say, just say it.”
“I’m afraid! Senior brother… I’m afraid… Suck-”
“What are you afraid of?”
“I’m afraid that senior brother won’t want me anymore! Senior brother… Senior brother…”
Pei Lianxue cried until her nose and tears became cloudy. She hugged Ye Anping’s waist tightly as if she was parting from life and death, and her voice trembled, “Without my senior brother, I can’t do anything! If my senior brother doesn’t want me anymore, I… I… I… will be alone… If my senior brother doesn’t want me anymore, where will I go? I’m not like Yun Luo, she can still return to Xuanxing Sect without her senior brother, there are so many people accompanying her… I only have one senior brother… I have no relatives in the world…”
Ye Anping let out a sigh of relief, wiped her tears and nose with the corner of his clothes, and asked, “Junior sister, when did I say I don’t want you anymore?”
“I’m afraid! I’m afraid! What if Senior Brother… Sucks——”
“Senior brother has never lied to you, and he will never lie to you in the future. Senior brother will never abandon you.”
Ye Anping put his arms around her shoulders, rocking her gently as if coaxing a baby, and placed his chin on her head and rubbed her gently.
“Lianxue… Senior brother, the person I miss most in this life is you. You saved a senior brother’s life and also saved the lives of countless disciples from the Hundred Lotus Sect. Without you, a senior brother would have lost his life after Longxi Town. It would have been turned into food for wild wolves in the Hundred Lotus Mountain.”
“Suck… Suck…”
Ye Anping’s eyebrows slowly bent, revealing a little sadness:
“It’s all my fault, senior brother. I was busy teaching you how to practice when you were a child, and I paid less attention to you. Junior sister, you have never been alone. My father and mother have always regarded you as their biological daughter. You still have such respect. You, a disciple of the Senior Sister of Hundred Lotus Sect, and a good friend like Yunluo, even…”
“Even?”
“There is another idiot who is devoted to you.”
Thinking of Feng Yudie, Ye Anping suddenly felt mixed feelings in his heart. It was an indescribable feeling. In his mind, he replayed the pair of white eyebrows and golden eyes that had been on his face when he woke up.
This time it was Xiao Tian, and he also miscalculated Jiang Mojiao, forget it. That day when he was buried in the mountain, he kissed her again by accident.
The so-called coincidence was the way of heaven. Heavenly Dao seemed to want to pair him up with Feng Yudie. Although getting together with Feng Yudie didn’t seem like a wrong thing when he thought about it now, it was only for now, and it might cause catastrophe in the future.
After all, Heavenly Dao caused the Hundred Lotus Sect to be massacred “in vain” and made him become the food for monsters in the wilderness.
It was also the way of heaven that made him and Pei Lianxue experience the unbearable pain of self-cultivation from the age of three.
He absolutely could not listen to Heaven’s will.
He was rebellious and very vindictive.
Feeling the slowly beating heartbeat in her senior brother’s arms, Pei Lianxue gradually calmed down and wiped her face with her cloud sleeves, turning herself into a little cat.
“Suck–”
Seeing this, Ye Anping quickly wiped her with his sleeve and said, “Junior sister, do you want to talk to Yun Luo?”
“Woo←→…”
“Then go back and rest first. Looking at you like this, have you been staying by your senior brother’s side and haven’t slept a wink these past few days? Core-formation cultivators also need to rest.”
Pei Lianxue nodded slightly and simply sat on the edge of the bed, took off her shoes, pulled back the quilt, and got in. She used Ye Anping’s shoulder as a pillow and leaned tightly against his waist.
“Together.”
“…Um.”
Ye Anping also slowly lay down and used his right hand to pull up the quilt and cover his and his junior sister’s necks.
Feeling his junior sister’s hug, Ye Anping relaxed slightly, suddenly thought of Li Longling, and asked, “Speaking of which, how is Palace Master Li’s injury? She must have run into a demonic cultivator who was in the middle stage of core formation. I didn’t have the energy to help her at that time… Is she okay?”
Hearing this, Pei Lianxue showed some doubts, tilted her head, and asked, “Huh? Demonic Cultivator in the middle stage of core formation?”
“She didn’t tell you?”
“Oh←→” Pei Lianxue shook her head slightly, “Senior brother, after you fainted, Commander Xu and I went to look for you, but we couldn’t find you. Seeing that you were seriously injured, we came back first.”
“Then she…”
“Sister Li came back by herself in three days. Her feet were frostbitten… She also had injuries on her shoulders. The doctor said she was just too weak and there was nothing serious…”
“Hiss–”
Ye Anping suddenly took a breath of air when he heard this. Just now Xu Mulan said that she was recuperating. He thought it was nothing, but when he heard these words, he knew that the matter was not trivial.
“Junior sister, find a wheelchair and take me over to see her…”
“…Um.”
Seeing the anxious look on his senior brother’s face, Pei Lianxue didn’t ask any questions. He quickly got out of bed, put his feet into his boots, and quickly ran out of the hall, carrying a creaking rack outside. The wheelchair came back, carrying Ye Anping, and pushed her towards the side hall on the side of the guest hall.
…
The side hall was extremely quiet, and the smoke of soothing incense lingered above the eaves. There was a large mahogany bed in the hall, with a fiery red ostrich egg that exuded warm light placed beside the pillow. Li Longling was lying facing the ceiling with her eyes closed, and it was impossible to tell whether she was awake.
“Is anyone here?”
“Yes…” Hearing Li Longling’s voice, a royal guard guarding the bed quickly stood up, “Do you want a drink of water, Mr. Li? I’ll get it for you…”
“No, I just want to ask… Master Ye, has he woke up?”
“This…” the royal guard looked a little embarrassed, gently held her hand, and comforted, “Master Li, you just asked about it half an hour ago. The doctor said that you need to rest. You’d better not think too much about it. If you have more, it’s better to live a good life and cultivate yourself.”
Li Longling bit her lip slightly and asked, “Is his condition very bad?”
“Ah… Commander Xu and Fairy Pei are watching from the side. It’s okay, don’t worry.”
“Yeah?”
Li Longling slowly exhaled, turned to face the royal guard, and asked in an extremely serious voice, “Since I came back three days ago, I have asked you countless times, but you have never told me the truth once.”
“This…”
“Seeing as how blind I am, how dare you deceive me? I’ll give you a chance. Where is he? Is he still alive? What is the situation? Answer truthfully.”
She was a blind woman with a weak appearance and a delicate voice, but she didn’t know why, at this moment, she felt from Li Longling the same courage that their leader Xu showed during training.
“Master Li, this…”
Li Longling frowned slightly: “Let me tell you one last time, tell the truth! Tell the truth!”
“Ah… Master Li, Young Master Ye is not optimistic. The doctor said half of his meridians were broken, and now he is completely dependent on the golden core…”
Hearing that she finally told the truth, Li Longling’s slightly frowned eyebrows relaxed:
“…Take me there.”
“Ah… Master Li, the doctor said you need to rest…”
“Take me…”
Squeak, squeak, squeak—
Before she finished speaking, Li Longling followed the sound and caught the sound of wood coming rapidly outside the house. She was a little confused about what it was for a moment, but her premonition told her…
It should be–
Snap–
The door of the palace was violently pushed open by Ye Anping who was outside the house. Li Longling also quickly sat up, turned to face the door, and called each other’s names with Ye Anping:
“Longling!” “Anping!”
Ye Anping was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Li Longling lift the quilt, pull away the royal guard beside the bed, and run towards him with bare feet and open her arms.
Then…
She threw himself into the arms of Pei Lianxue who was pushing the wheelchair.
“…”
“…”
“…”
The three people at the door were stunned almost at the same time. Li Longling now felt the pair of soft little watermelons pressing against her cheeks and finally understood that the squeaking sounds just now were the sound of a broken wheelchair.
She let go of the girl in front of her awkwardly, with a slight blush on her face. She took a step back with embarrassment and said,
“It should be, Senior Sister Pei, right?”
“Well…” Pei Lianxue pursed her lips and nodded slowly, “Is Sister Li feeling better?”
Li Longling thought for a while and quickly changed her words, “I’m not seriously injured. How is Mr. Ye? I heard that he was seriously injured.”
Pei Lianxue puffed up her cheeks slightly, glanced at the senior brother beside her, and replied with a complaint:
“Senior brother, is that okay? Didn’t you just call my senior brother Anping?”
Li Longling paused and asked softly, “…Senior Sister Pei, did you agree?”
Pei Lianxue turned away her eyes and replied in a low voice, “If senior brother likes it…”
“Hmm… Do you like Anping?”
“…”
The smell of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and Ye Anping, who was sitting next to the two of them, suddenly showed a bit of embarrassment on his face. He quickly reached out and gently held their hands:
“Longling, I said I would come to pick you up, this…”
“It’s okay, am I fine?” Li Longling turned to face Ye Anping, “I said before, Anping, I’m not as fragile as you think, nor am I a flower vase.”
“Can…”
“I just feel that Anping, you are a little overprotective towards me, Senior Sister Pei, Senior Sister Xiao, and Senior Sister Feng. There are some things you can safely leave to us.”
“But worry is always unavoidable.”
Ye Anping sighed lightly, held Li Longling’s hand, and asked his junior sister to push him to the bed. After Li Longling sat back on the bed, he asked again, “Speaking of which, what happened to Lu Meimei? I told you at the time that you could just deal with her. If you really can’t escape, how could you…”
“I didn’t listen to you.” Li Longling said truthfully, “Although it’s a bit risky, the result is always good, isn’t it?”
“…That’s why I’m worried about you.”
Ye Anping frowned slightly, but when he looked at the wound on Li Longling’s shoulder and the fire phoenix egg next to the pillow, he relaxed his brows:
“But, well done.”
“You want to send me away with just three words?” Li Longling smiled and said, “Didn’t I agree before that when you go back this time, you will marry me…”
Pei Lianxue let out a depressed whimper when she heard this:
“…Wu——”
Ye Anping was a little helpless, but Li Longling covered her mouth and chuckled, “Just kidding, wait until you marry Senior Sister Pei first, right? I have no interest in fighting for love, but Senior Sister Pei…”
“Um?”
Li Longling raised the corners of her mouth slightly and raised her head to face Pei Lianxue:
“Young Master Ye, he is a life-saving grace for me. I like him and trust him from the bottom of my heart, so can I call you ‘sister’ in the future?”
Pei Lianxue nodded slowly, “Um…”
“Thank you…” Li Longling nodded and asked again, “Anping, what did you say?”
Ye Anping sighed and said jokingly, “Uh… you are all my wings?”
“Pfft, you have quite a lot of wings… I know of four pairs, right? Anping, are you going to fly up there and pick the stars?”
“If you want it, I probably can’t do it…”
Hearing this, Pei Lianxue twisted her eyebrows slightly, stretched out her index finger, and counted:
“Me, Sister Li, Yun Luo… Second Idiot?”
Then she grabbed Ye Anping’s shoulders and said excitedly, “Your Second Idiot can’t do it!!”
“…It’s not her, it’s the eldest lady of the Yun family.”
Pei Lianxue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, she grabbed Ye Anping’s face and cursed, “…Smelly senior brother!”
Ye Anping was a little helpless and quickly changed the topic:
“Longling, how did you come back without Ah Feng?”
“I was thinking of you and felt your direction, so I slowly followed your position to find you.”
“What’s the truth?”
“My flying sword found a direction and kept flying, but with good luck, I passed a town after flying for a day. There happened to be a royal guard on duty in that town. She saw me, came up to ask me, and then took me back here. .”
Ye Anping was relieved when he heard this. He slowly took her hand, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her:
“It’s good to be back. Sorry, Long Ling, it’s my problem this time. I didn’t expect that Jiang Mojiao…”
“Everyone makes mistakes sometimes.” Li Longling shook her head slightly, “When you make mistakes, it’s up to us to help you save it, right? Daoist couples should help and support each other, so do I, and so does Sister Pei, Senior Sister Xiao is also…”
Ye Anping listened and stopped talking. He slowly lowered his eyes and closed them.
“Huh? Anping…”
Li Longling was a little confused and quickly let go of his neck and asked, “Sister Pei, did Anping faint?”
“Huh?” Pei Lianxue was stunned for a moment, then came over to take a look, and immediately shrank her neck in fear, “Senior brother!!!”
Then, he picked up the wheelchair and ran outside quickly.
“Doctor!! Doctor!!”
Li Longling covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard the sound. She also went back to the bed and lay down. She said to the royal guard standing beside her:
“Sorry, I just hurt you a little bit.”
“Ah… Don’t worry…”
“Well, I haven’t slept a wink these past few days. Can you help me close the curtain? I want to take a rest, please.”
“Yes…”
…
I’m glad she didn’t turn full yandere
