Chapter 51: Junior Sister’s Emotional Roller Coaster
When the two entered the physical therapy centre, Bai Yuexin coincidentally saw a senior fellow from the Xuanxing Sect coming out of a side room.
“Senior Zhou, it’s a total of sixty spirit stones,” She said as she handed him the stones.
“Junior Bai, I’ve noticed you here these past few days. What’s going on? Are you and your partner planning to run a business together?” Senior Zhou asked while handing over sixty spirit stones from his storage bag.
“What partner? I’ve said it many times. I’m just here to help. He couldn’t manage alone, so he hired me to assist in collecting payments,” She explained.
“Alright, I have to admit, after the therapy session, I felt much more relaxed during my sword practice. I’ll come back when I have the time,” Senior Zhou remarked.
“Sure,” She replied.
After seeing off Senior Zhou, Bai Yuexin prepared to greet Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo. She didn’t notice them earlier while talking to Senior Zhou. Now, as she saw their faces, she immediately realised and froze in place.
Upon seeing Pei Lianxue’s face, Bai Yuexin felt like she was back on the stage of the sword test, experiencing the fear of being controlled by Pei Lianxue.
Pei Lianxue recognised her as the senior sister who helped her in the previous sword test. She quickly greeted, “Hello, senior!”
Startled by her enthusiasm, Bai Yuexin took a step back.
Thinking that Bai Yuexin didn’t recognise her, Pei Lianxue added, “In the previous sword test, senior was my examiner. Do you remember?”
“Ah… I remember,” Bai Yuexin admitted with a bit of embarrassment.
Xiao Yunluo, observing the store, asked, “Senior Sister Bai, I heard from Senior Brother Zhou that you and your partner opened this store?”
“Ah… Miss, he and I are not partners,” Bai Yuexin laughed, “I’m just here to help. The senior brothers and sisters spread the word, and it turned into this. Do you two want to try?”
“Well, how does it work?” Xiao Yunluo inquired.
“It’s simple. Just take off your shoes and sit there. The boss will massage the acupuncture points on your feet and stimulate the meridians with spiritual energy. It’s very comfortable afterwards, and it’s beneficial for cultivation, too,” Bai Yuexin explained.
“Is it good for cultivation?” Xiao Yunluo raised her eyebrows, nodded, and said, “Then let’s give it a try.”
“But if it’s your first time, it might be a bit painful,” Bai Yuexin warned.
“That’s okay.”
Seeing Xiao Yunluo agreeing to the therapy, Bai Yuexin called out to the back room, “Anping, two ladies!”
However, upon hearing the name “Anping,” Pei Lianxue froze in place. Before coming in, she saw “Ye” on the door plaque and was expecting her senior brother. Now, with her sudden arrival, she hoped to give her old brother a surprise.
After coming in, she was quite disappointed for a moment when she heard that the person just said that Bai Yuexin and her partner had opened the shop. He probably wasn’t her senior brother anymore.
And now she heard Bai Yuexin call out “Anping”…
In just a few words, Pei Lianxue went through the process of “Could it be the senior brother?”, then “Not the senior brother”, and finally “It is a senior brother, but the senior brother has become someone else’s partner.”, three types of completely different psychological changes.
At this time, Ye Anping’s voice came back from the back room.
“Got it, Senior Bai. Please lead them to sit inside first. I’ll wash my hands and come over.” It was her senior brother’s voice.
A senior brother and a disciple from the Xuanxing Sect named Bai Yuexin became partners.
Pei Lianxue looked at Bai Yuexin again, completely afraid to accept this fact.
After a pause, Pei Lianxue trembled her lips and asked, “Senior… are you partners?”
“Um?” Bai Yuexin was stunned for a moment. Didn’t she just explain it to Xiao Yunluo? Why are you still asking?
She had no choice but to explain again, “No, he and I are just friends. Maybe more like a sister and a brother. We are really not partners.”
“Really?”
“Really not.”
“…Really.” Bai Yuexin felt helpless and simply raised her hand, “I swear, he and I are not partners.”
“…”
Seeing Bai Yuexin’s oath, Pei Lianxue reluctantly let go of her worries.
“Lianxue, what’s wrong? You asked so many times.” Xiao Yunluo asked.
“It’s nothing.”
After that, Bai Yuexin took the two of them to wait in the female’s room.
…
After Ye Anping washed his hands, he walked in with two clean basins filled with hot water from the backyard. When he just opened the curtain and saw the two people inside, he was also stunned.
The two guests were actually Junior Sister and Xiao Yunluo? It didn’t matter if the junior sister came. Why did Xiao Yunluo come with the junior sister?
And why did Xiao Yunluo seem to have a good relationship with his junior sister?
In the game, Xiao Yunluo was initially extremely withdrawn and had a strong temper. She was a lonely young lady. She would not take the initiative to make friends with anyone and hated others coming close to her. But that was not the problem. The problem was Xiao Yunluo was the key to the main plot.
It could be said that the main plot of the game “Sword of Heavenly Sword” started because of the acquaintance of Feng Yudie and Xiao Yunluo. Then Feng Yudie met her mother through Xiao Yunluo – who was called the “Loli old woman” by the players. Danyue Shangxian, Si Xuanji.
Ye Anping was very worried now. The identity of the protagonist was revealed by his junior sister Feng Yudie. After all, his junior sister did not have the “bloodline of the Holy Emperor” like Feng Yudie.
If his junior sister took the path of the protagonist, even with a senior brother like him who knew everything, there was absolutely no way to avoid “BAD END” in the future. Of course, all of this was just his worry at the moment. When his junior sister got the key, it might not be his junior sister who opened the door to the main line.
Xiao Yunluo watched him come in with a basin. She remembered what Bai Yuexin had said before about taking off her socks and rubbing the soles of her feet. She frowned and asked, “Sister Bai, is he the one who helps us rub the soles of our feet?”
“Ah…” Bai Yuexin explained quickly from the side, “Yes, young lady, don’t think too much, this is really nothing…”
“How is this allowed? A man touching a woman’s soles… this is too…” Xiao Yunluo blushed and asked, “How did this shop pass the approval? How could Xuanxing Sect allow such a shop to exist in Fang City? It’s so against the customs!”
“Ah, well…” Bai Yuexin quickly said, “Young lady, the elder in charge of the city has been here before and said that there is no problem, and he will also wear gloves when he rubs your soles.”
“That won’t work either, Lianxue, and I won’t do it!”
With that said, Xiao Yunluo stood up, pulled Pei Lianxue, and walked out.
Bai Yuexin didn’t feel comfortable stopping her at the moment. Before Ye Anping put down the footbath in his hand, the two of them walked out of the house.
Pei Lianxue was pulled and looked back at her senior brother again. After hesitating for a while. She said, “Chijijijijijijijiji~~.”
Ye Anping heard this and couldn’t help but laugh. Her junior sister said, “I will come over later. Wait for me.”
“Huh? Lianxue, what are you doing?” Xiao Yunluo asked with a puzzled look on her face.
“It’s nothing.”
“Come on, I’ll take you to the restaurant opposite for something to eat.”
With that said, the two of them ran out of the physical therapy centre and rushed out to the street.
Ye Anping, who followed out, felt inexplicably heart-warming as he watched the two of them running hand in hand on the street.
Although he was worried that his junior sister would take the path of becoming a protagonist, seeing that his junior sister had made a very good friend made him happy for her from the bottom of his heart.
At this time, Bai Yuexin also walked out and sighed, “Anping, can’t you think of a way? If you want to touch other people’s feet, many people still can’t accept it?”
Ye Anping shrugged and said with a smile, “It’s a new thing. Slowly everyone will accept it. Don’t rush it. There are too many people, and I won’t be able to handle it.”
“Huh? Why are you laughing? How can you still laugh after losing such a big guest?”
Ye Anping paused for a moment, then quickly put away his smile and said, “I’m not smiling. Let’s close the shop early today. I’m going to rest.”
“Ah? It’s only the afternoon. Why is it so early today?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to take a rest early? Your salary won’t be deducted.”
