Chapter 400: Senior brother, the good wife returns at night
Feng Yudie’s face was full of doubts. She recalled it for a long time, and then the golden-haired girl came to her mind who would fight with her all day long.
She curled her lips, twisted her eyebrows, and retorted, “I have a butterfly now…”
Xiao Tian on the side also became serious now and asked, “Anping, what happened? What did the jade slip say?”
“The three girls from the Moon Shadow Sword Sect followed their father to the East Great Wall on the eastern border of the Central Domain.”
“East Great Wall?” Let me see. 』
Xiao Tian hurriedly took out the Heavenly Dao Scroll from under his skirt, opened it, scanned the dense text on it with his fingers, and read out:
“Hmm… In the 372nd year of the Ten Thousand Demon Calendar, the Hundred Immortals City was built by Xu Taizu. It was originally intended to prevent the invasion of monsters east of Huangshan Mountain, but since Immortal Dan Yue drove the demonic cultivators to the Eastern Domain, East was classified as the Emperor’s Sect and used as the Emperor’s first line of defense against the demonic cultivators… There were countless ancient formation passages. After the emperor established the sect, the demon cultivators have not attacked hundreds of times…”
Ye Anping interrupted bluntly, “It’s broken this time.”
“Ah?”
“The previous invasion of Han Tian Kingdom by demon cultivators cut off a retreat from the East Great Wall, leaving Han Tian Kingdom unable to send reinforcements. Now that the Emperor of the Central Domain is dead, the demon clan does not like human cultivators. Not only will the demon cultivators not provoke monster cultivators, demon clan will instead win over the monster clan, so naturally there is no reason to help the Heavenly Execution Court of East Great Wall in resisting the demon cultivators.”
Ye Anping let out a long breath and concluded:
“In a word, Demon Cultivators have found a good opportunity to capture the East.”
Although Ye Anping’s tone was very calm and his expression was as calm as before, in fact, he was extremely agitated in his heart at the moment and could not think of any solution for the moment.
Heavenly Execution Court’s life and death had nothing to do with him. Although Tong Zilan had asked for help before, he was not the kind of idiot who would put himself, his junior sister, Yun Luo, and others in danger just to save strangers.
He initially had no intention of participating in the incident at the East Great Wall. He wanted to work hard with his junior sisters and others to prepare for the next battle with Gu Mingxin.
However…How could the Moon Shadow Sword Sect contact Heavenly Execution Court so suddenly?
Ye Anping secretly thought about the reason for the Yun family’s move and finally discovered that it may have something to do with the fact that he changed the plot line in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect. In the game, Yun Tianchong, the leader of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, decided to continue seclusion and attack the void realm after the death of one of Yun Yiyi and the others.
But he took Feng Yudie there before, and not only Yun Yiyi and the others survived but Yun Tianchong’s bird was killed by the three of them together…
This might also have led to Yun Tianchong not choosing to continue attacking the void realm, but turning around, taking care of the three little ones with all his heart, and re-running the declining Moon Shadow Sword Sect.
Gathering the remnants of the Heavenly Execution Court was indeed a good way to revive the Sword Sect, but who came up with this idea?
Yun Yiyi? He also said… Yun Xi…
Ye Anping felt that it was probably Yun Xi and felt quite tired, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao Tian and Feng Yudie looking at him expectantly.
He was confused for a moment and asked, “Why are you staring at me?”
Feng Yudie blinked her eyes, nodded, and said, “Huh? Master Ye, shouldn’t you tell us what to do? We must save them, right?”
“…”
Xiao Tian seemed to think so too and asked, “Yes, Anping, you must have planned it a long time ago. What should we do?”
Ye Anping glanced at the two of them with a strange look:
Feng Yudie, forget it, why are you, a heavenly Dao scroll weapon spirit who claims to know everything about heaven and earth, looking at me so eagerly?
Obviously in the game, you, the golden idiot, advise the white idiot next to you about so many things.
“Well…”
Ye Anping sighed sadly.
To be honest, this matter was not easy to handle. If the demonic cultivators were one or two god-transformation stage cultivators or the leader of the Hehuan Sect, he would have a solution, but the person who attacked the East was the leader of the Ghost Spirit Sect, “Ghost Tomb Seven”.
Not to mention the cultivation level in the Void Realm, he still cultivated the ghost path, which was very difficult to deal with, and there were dozens of demon cultivators in the Transformation Stage and Nascent Soul Stage around him who were of considerable background.
Those spirit-transforming Nascent Souls were by no means comparable to Jiang Mojiao’s fake powers. They were all thousand-year-old fried dough sticks on the level of Lei Wanjun and Elder Feng.
It could be said that unless Hero Xuanji was willing to help, there was currently no chance for him to do this alone. However, when Hero Xuanji washed her feet with lake water at noon today, she made her attitude clear:
“Her ‘mother’ won’t take action in this matter, so don’t meddle in her own business.”
Right now, he had to find another way, otherwise Yun Yiyi and the others would be in danger.
Killing the Ghost Seven Tombs is currently unrealistic, and so is repelling them. Then do the next best thing and save everyone as much as possible…
Ye Anping’s eyes were glazed over, and he completely expanded his thoughts, looking for the chess pieces he could use now, and thinking about the strategies that the demon cultivators might adopt…
Seeing Ye Anping’s rare expression of boredom, Xiao Tian suddenly realized that this matter might not be as simple as he thought, and asked, “Anping, don’t you know either?”
“Well, I have to add it all up.”
“Do you want me to accompany you? I will show you the scroll of heavenly Dao.”
“No, I know everything above.”
Ye Anping took a deep breath, temporarily put his numb thoughts behind him, turned around, and continued walking in the direction of his triple courtyard.
At that time, Feng Yudie quickly shouted, “Young Master Ye.”
Ye Anping looked back: “Huh?”
“I believe you can come up with a good idea, just like before!”
“…”
Ye Anping froze on the spot, looking at her blankly. Feng Yudie was stared at by him for a while, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed for no reason. She just saw Ye Anping’s irritated face and wanted to cheer him up…
With two blushes on her cheeks, Feng Yudie looked away, then turned around, hugged the roast chicken that Ye Anping gave her, and ran away toward her Triple Courtyard. Her silver hair floated slightly as she ran, and Feng Yudie disappeared from Ye Anping’s sight in a short while.
Not long after Feng Yudie left, two haloes appeared slightly under Ye Anping’s deep purple eyes.
“Eh? Anping, are you blushing? So cute~”
Ye Anping came back to his senses after hearing the sound, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly:
Dog Heavenly Dao!!
Then he replied lightly, “I just finished sparring and it’s a little hot.”
Xiao Tian pursed her cat lips, squinted, and snickered, “Oh~~.”
“…💢”
“Hey~ Anping, see you tomorrow!”
Seeing a blue vein popping up on Ye Anping’s forehead, Xiao Tian waved his hand in an amused manner, spun around in the sky, chased after Feng Yudie, and even whistled happily.
“Shh~♪Shhhhh♪…”
…
Under night, the bamboo forest returned to silence, leaving only the chirping of summer cicadas in my ears. Ye Anping let out a breath and strolled along the bamboo forest path back to the triple courtyard building where he and Xiao Yunluo lived.
The bamboo forest in the courtyard was not alive at all. Xiao Yunluo was probably dragged by Mr. Qi to correct the test papers with Elder Wang, and the junior sister was probably dragged over by Elder Qin to teach the new disciples.
In the past few months when they returned to the Xuanxing Sect, they had lived a leisurely and comfortable life. Senior Sister Bai would come to visit from time to time, play cards chat with Junior Sister and Xiao Yunluo, and help him clean the house together. Only last month, Mr. Liu of the Xuanxing Sect Jiange officially accepted her as his direct disciple, and then she was locked up. At this moment, she was probably still holding a furnace of flames, squatting in front of the iron feet and banging the hammer.
He could count the number of female swordsmen from the four realms whom he remembered on one hand.
I don’t know how far Senior Sister Bai can go…
After sighing for a moment, Ye Anping went to the hut, picked up a broom, and swept the fallen leaves in the yard. Then he returned to his bedroom, lit a lamp, and took out paper to write down names one by one.
Ghost Tomb Seven, Gu Mingxin, Si Xuanji, Yun Tianchong, Yun Yiyi, Yun Jiujiu, Fu Xuan…
Think about the character of each person and their possible actions, write it down on paper, and then look for a way to break the situation like a needle in a haystack.
No matter how he thought about it, if he wanted to break the situation, he must have a thug with void cultivation.
If Si Xuanji didn’t agree, then the only one who could be used now was the Demon Emperor. However, the Demon King did not trust him and did not like him.
Emperor Sect, if he hadn’t had the noble character of “respecting the elderly and loving the young”, probably wouldn’t have protected the ordinary people in Tianjin City during the confrontation between Si Xuanji and Nangong Cheng.
How about using Si Xuanji’s name to scare him?
But to scare him, he had to carry Si Xuanji over… However, if Si Xuanji could be carried to the Central Domain, what else would he do with that fierce Fox King?
It’s unnecessary…
“What to do…”
Thinking and writing.
On the desk, which was not too big in the first place, stacks of scrapped desks were gradually piled up. The corners of the desk and the chairs looked like he had been watching “The Pornographic Pictures of Immortal Palace” alone for several hours. Covered with large and small paper balls. He used up half of a brand-new ink stick.
The silvery white moonlight shines through the window on Ye Anping’s face, adding a bit of pear blossom color to his face. Ye Anping was so engrossed that he didn’t notice that while he was sitting at his desk, a woman quietly opened the door of his bedroom.
Squeak——
It wasn’t until a thin blanket covered his back that Ye Anping came back to his senses and turned to look.
Seeing him raise his head, Pei Lianxue felt apologetic for a moment and asked in a low voice, “Brother, am I bothering you?”
Ye Anping relaxed a little, put on a doting smile, and replied, “No… I was so focused that I didn’t notice you coming.”
Pei Lianxue looked at the paper balls on the ground, nodded faintly, then brought a small stool from the side, sat next to Ye Anping, and picked up the ink stick:
“I didn’t say anything, I will just help my senior brother grind ink.”
“If you don’t go to rest at this late hour, won’t you have to continue giving sword tests to new disciples tomorrow?”
“It doesn’t matter. I just came back from Elder Qin’s place. I was passing by and saw that your house, senior brother, had the lights on so late at night, so I came over.”
Ye Anping turned his head and looked at the moonlight outside the window. It suddenly dawned on him that so much time had passed, and he put the ink pen in his hand back on the pen holder.
“How was the sword test today?”
“Well, it’s pretty good…” Pei Lianxue thought for a while and suddenly said in surprise, “Oh, by the way, senior brother. Ah, Ting came to participate in the Xuanxing Sect selection, and it was I who gave her the sword test.”
Ye Anping couldn’t help laughing and asked, “Uh… How is she doing now?”
“At the Xuanxing Sect Medical Center, Hongyu was with her. There was nothing serious, but her waist was twisted and one of her arms was broken. Elder Qin who was watching gave her a high score. She is the only new disciple who took three moves before flying out.”
Ye Anping didn’t know what expression to make:
“Awesome, so is Ahting.”
“Hehe… Ahting has grown up, senior brother, does he know?” Pei Lianxue raised her palm, compared it up and down, and then placed it on hr own lips, “So tall! And she’s so beautiful. I remember she used to be in the Chilong Mansion, when I first met her, she was just reaching my chest.”
“Junior sister, you used to reach my chin, and you still reach my chin now.”
“Senior brother and I have grown taller.” Pei Lianxue pouted, tilted her head, and said, “Senior brother, do you like someone shorter? Yun Luo and Long Ling are both quite short, Yun Luo and a girl of thirteen or fourteen years old are similar.”
Seeing her like this, Ye Anping suddenly felt the passage of time as a girl turned into a wife.
The little girl who once had her face pulled by her skirt and cried with snot and saliva seemed to be gone forever.
He raised his hand to scratch the bridge of Pei Lianxue’s nose and said, “You feel like I’m a mother now. You are much calmer than when you were a kid.”
“Well… After having experienced so much with my senior brother, it’s time to grow up. When will my senior brother give me a little Ahting?”
“…We’ll talk about it later when we settle down.”
“Um…”
Ye Anping let out a breath, looked at the paper in front of him filled with notes, thought for a while, and simply asked, “Junior sister, let me ask you, if you want the Demon Emperor to help with something he doesn’t want to do, how would you convince him?”
“The Demon King…” Pei Lianxue lowered her eyes slightly, and her orange eyes turned left and right, “Since we want him to do something he doesn’t want to do, we have to… coerce him, use coercion and inducement.”
“He is a virtual cultivator, how can he be coerced?”
“Senior brother told me before that as long as it is a creature in the world, it will have weaknesses.” Pei Lianxue’s eyes were very serious and she nodded her head. “And senior brother told me that story when I was a child.”
Ye Anping didn’t think about it and asked doubtfully, “Huh? What story?”
“What should I do if I have an arrow and two bad guys come at me with knives?”
“Oh…”
Ye Anping recalled that he probably told Pei Lianxue when he was four years old, nodded and answered, “Don’t shoot the arrow, but say to the two men, I’ll shoot the one who disobeys.'”
“Well! To hold the emperor hostage to command the princes, all we need to do is find the emperor of Hu Mu.”
Hearing this, Ye Anping couldn’t help but widen his eyes slightly, and slowly turned his head again to look back at the list he had written. His thoughts just now were so focused on Si Xuanji that he didn’t notice the person who didn’t exist on the list. If it weren’t for Pei Lianxue’s words, he might have had to think about it for several hours or even days.
He held the emperor hostage to order the princes, but Hu Mu’s “emperor”…
Ye Anping picked up the ink pen and wrote the name of a fox on one of the few blank spaces on the paper:
——Xue Tianqiao.
As long as Xue Tianqiao is tied up and framed by the demon cultivator, Hu Mu will angrily run to the East Great Wall to confront the demon cultivator. However when he would arrive, he would soon find out that he was being used as a pawn, and he would soon be able to trace that they were the ones who took away Xue Tianqiao.
But as long as Xue Tianqiao was safe and sound, Hu Mu would never do anything to him. At most, he will curse him.
Ye Anping let out a sigh of relief, and his frown relaxed. After he roughly ran through his ideas and determined that it was feasible, he turned around, grabbed Pei Lianxue’s face, and praised:
“Junior sister, thank you.”
“Did I help?”
“Um.”
Pei Lianxue’s clear eyes shone slightly, she smiled shyly, then looked away and lowered her voice and said:
“Then… Can I ask for a reward?”
“Tell me, what do you want?”
“Dual cultivation…” Pei Lianxue pursed her lips, gently grabbed Ye Anping’s sleeves with her little hands, and pulled, “The last time was ten days ago…”
“…”
Pei Lianxue propped herself up, put her lips next to Ye Anping’s ear, blushed, and said:
“Brother, come and eat me.”
“Hey~~~.” Ye Anping suddenly had goosebumps on his back, his whole body trembled, and he looked at her in disbelief, “Junior sister, who taught you this…”
Pei Lianxue thought she had done something wrong, drooped her head like a little rabbit, and replied in a low voice? “Yun Luo taught me. She said that if you do this, senior brother will become interested.”
“…”
Xiao Yunluo, Xiao Yunluo… whatever you teach my junior sister…
Ye Anping was a little helpless, but after hesitating for a while, he simply stood up, suddenly put his arms around Pei Lianxue’s waist, picked her up, and walked towards the bed.
“Why?”
“Senior brother can’t resist being so tempted.”
“Eh… Hehe…”
“Still laughing, let’s see how senior brother teaches you…”
“Whee…”
Looking at Pei Lianxue lying in front of him, Ye Anping smiled, then pulled down the curtain with his hook, and started interrogating his junior sister…
…
The moon in the sky slowly swept across an acute angle. The cicadas at night were tired and went to sleep. A flying sword holding a purple light slowly came through the clouds from the direction of the middle peak. Xiao Yunluo fell back into the courtyard of the Triple Courtyard with a tired look on her face. She turned around and looked at Ye Anping’s bedroom. Seeing that the lights had also been turned off, she reluctantly took a hand and walked toward his bedroom.
But after taking a few steps, she stopped again:
“No, I have to make up for it… I have been busy with the selection process these days. Mr. Qi also went fishing by himself and gave all the papers to me and Elder Wang…”
After finding a reason to convince herself, Xiao Yunluo turned and walked toward Ye Anping’s bedroom, opened the door with a creak, unbuttoned her belt, and walked toward the bed covered by the curtain.
“Anping~are you asleep?”
However, when she walked to the bed, she noticed that Pei Lianxue’s embroidered shoes were lying on the side of Ye Anping’s boots.
“…”
She opened the curtain slightly and saw that Lingxue had fallen asleep with Ye Anping in her arms. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Seeing that the quilt covered their stomachs, she helped them cover the quilt again.
Then, she noticed a large piece of paper around the desk. He thought Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue were playing some new trick, so she walked over and tilted her head to look at the contents on the desk…
“Well… East Great Wall…”
She picked it up carefully and looked at it under the moonlight. When she noticed the name “Si Xuanji” on it, she suddenly looked surprised and turned to look at Ye Anping:
“Why did my mother tell him her last name…”
After hesitating for a while, she felt that there seemed to be no problem, so she looked carefully at the rough plan written by Ye Anping…
…
