Chapter 524: Jiujiu, let’s talk about it later!
Chirp, chirp, chirp…
The birds chirping outside the bedroom were melodious and sweet, and a little floral fragrance penetrated the curtains through the cracks in the window.
Gu Mingxin was lying quietly on the bed, with the thin quilt covering her collarbone. After a night’s rest, the blush on her cheeks had faded, but her black hair was spread messily behind her.
“Anping~ I can do it myself… You go and wash up first.”
“I’m not in a hurry. It’s okay… I’ll help you.”
…
A burst of faint words reached her ears. Gu Mingxin opened her eyes leisurely and stared at the eight-stepped carved wooden roof for a while, then turned her head and looked outside the curtain.
Ye Anping was kneeling on one knee in front of a wheelchair. He was holding a pair of knee-high cotton socks in his hand. He put them on Yun Yiyi’s feet and helped her put on the socks. His eyes were helpless but seemed funny.
After helping Yun Yiyi put on her shoes and covering her legs with a fleece blanket, Ye Anping pushed her to the dressing table in the hall, picked up a comb, and helped her take care of her frizzy blonde hair.
Hearing a noise coming from the direction of the bed, Ye Anping took the time to look back.
Seeing him looking over, Gu Mingxin quickly put on a calm look, turned sideways, held up her cheek, and winked at him, as if asking him: Ye Anping, are you satisfied now?
This pouty expression made Ye Anping’s eyes twitch twice, and he simply ignored it. He just took the time to take out a new set of clothes from his storage bag and threw them away:
“Ah Gu, put on your clothes, we have to hurry…”
Gu Mingxin caught the clothes and tried to move her legs, but she couldn’t use her strength at all. After being silent for a while, she asked:
“You help her get dressed, but you won’t help me get dressed?”
“Haha… Aren’t you quite charming? Yiyi has a low level of cultivation and is quite delicate. She can’t compare with you. I have to take care of her, and you can dress yourself.”
Gu Mingxin curled her lips slightly, looked at him with her eyes, and then grabbed her clothes:
“That’s true. How can this golden-haired girl stand you?”
Yun Yiyi felt inexplicably unhappy after hearing this. She was about to yell at her, but when she turned around and saw Ye Anping shaking his head at her, she endured it.
After Ye Anping tied up Yun Yiyi’s hair with a jade hairpin, he directly pushed the wheelchair and walked out of the hall, turning around and leaving a message:
“Hurry up and get dressed. I’ll wait for you at the door of the house. We have to go.”
After saying that, he pushed Yun Yiyi directly out of the dormitory, and kindly helped Gu Mingxin close the door.
The moment the two of them left, Gu Mingxin felt as if her air was leaking. One of them collapsed on the bed without exerting enough strength. She also tried to move her legs, but found that she couldn’t move at all.
“Oh~~~so jealous…”
At this time, Xue also came out of her head, like a little adult, looking at her slumped on the bed, shaking her head and sighing:
“Alas… Ming Xin, don’t you deserve this…”
“What deserves it?”
“If you act softer, Ye Anping will definitely be more gentle to you. Maybe he will help you dress like he helped that girl? You have to be stubborn… You will not die if you admit defeat.”
“Why admit defeat? It’s just that my legs are a little sore… And that girl is still in a wheelchair, right? I’ll recover after I rest for a while.”
Xue was also used to her Mingxin being dominant, so she stopped trying to persuade her. She fell on the bed, picked up the clothes that Ye Anping had just thrown over, and walked to Gu Mingxin:
“Okay! Turn over, and I’ll help you put it on…”
“Who wants you to dress me… It’s hard for you to move clothes. I’ll do it myself later.”
“Turn over!”
“…”
…
——
Gulu gulu…
In the garden, the wooden wheels of wheelchairs bobbed on the gravel pavement.
Ye Anping pushed Yun Yiyi, fearing that the wheelchair would make her butt uncomfortable, so he deliberately slowed down and walked with Yun Yiyi along the garden path, dispelling the indescribable fragrance in their minds with the refreshing fragrance of flowers.
“Anping, the evil spirit on the other side of the Blood River is much stronger than here, and in this situation, you have to be careful after passing there.”
“Don’t worry, I have my own plan.”
“Is there anything I can do to help you? Do you want me to send an immortal boat to take you near the Blood River?”
“No, the target of the immortal boat is too big. If I go there in the immortal boat, the Demon Sect on the other side of the Blood River will get the news long ago…”
Yun Yiyi lowered her eyes with some disappointment and sighed:
“It would be great if I had as good qualifications as Sister Pei. Then I could always be by your side to help you.”
“Why are you getting sad?” Ye Anping rubbed her head, “Even if you have the qualifications of my junior sister, I will not take you with me. There is a narrow escape from death on the other side of the Blood River. Just stay at the back with peace of mind. I don’t want you to come and have a drink with her like that…”
“Come to think of it… Has Jiujiu come to see you in the past month or so?”
“No, she comes over occasionally to have a drink with Feng Yudie. Every time I go over, she leaves. It must be because the Sword Sect has a lot of things going on, right? She is also the second young lady of the Sword Sect after all.”
“So…”
Yun Yiyi nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.
But vaguely, she could also detect slight changes in her second sister.
In fact, she had taken the time to visit Yun Jiujiu before, thinking of dragging her to have a chat with Ye Anping, but every time she talked about this matter, Yun Jiujiu always had to find an excuse to refuse or to discipline the disciples of Sword Peak, or some elder looking for her.
Anyway, looking at her second sister’s appearance, it was obvious that she didn’t want to see Ye Anping.
Yun Yiyi was thinking about this matter, and Ye Anping also pushed her around a corner, but not far ahead, she saw Yun Jiujiu and Feng Yudie sitting under a bare apricot tree, drinking and playing chess.
As if hearing the grunting of the wheelchair, Yun Jiujiu glanced in her direction. When she saw Ye Anping, she immediately stood up:
“It’s okay, I’m in a hurry, so I’ll go back first!”
“Ah?”
Feng Yudie was still thinking about chess, but when she looked up at Yun Jiujiu, she turned around and ran away along the corridor.
Ye Anping was still a little puzzled. He was not blind. He obviously felt that Yun Jiujiu would run away when he saw him during this period. He subconsciously thought that he had stabbed her hard when he gave her an acupuncture before…
He pushed Yun Yiyi over and asked:
“Yudie, what’s wrong with Jiujiu?”
“Ah? Master Ye, get up… She said she had something urgent to go back first.”
“So.”
Feng Yudie swayed the dull hair on her head from side to side, looked at Yun Yiyi who was sitting in the wheelchair weakly, and asked:
“Miss Yun, why are you in a wheelchair again? Didn’t you have one yesterday?”
Yun Yiyi looked at Feng Yudie’s innocent eyes, thought for a while, covered her mouth, and said with a smile:
“Pfft – Miss Feng has been following Anping for so long, doesn’t she still know that he is very cruel in that matter? As long as he lets go, no girl in the world can stand him…”
Feng Yudie shrank her neck:
“I have never practiced dual cultivation with Young Master Ye… Hehe…”
“Huh? No?”
Yun Yiyi was slightly surprised and looked up at Ye Anping behind her in confusion:
“I remember that Miss Feng was with Anping very early. I thought you guys were very early…”
“Ahem——”
Ye Anping coughed immediately, interrupted the conversation between the two, and said:
“Yudie, go and clean up. We will leave the Tianbei City in a moment and rush directly to the direction of the Heavenly Demon Sect.”
“…Oh.”
Feng Yudie looked at Ye Anping’s pants thoughtfully and then prepared to go back to her room to clean up. However, after taking a few steps, she seemed to remember something and took out the chess pieces from the table and a beautifully packaged mahogany box.
“Oh, by the way! Master Ye, Jiujiu asked me to give this to you.”
“Um?”
Ye Anping took it and opened the package. He saw that the mahogany box contained a well-sealed small wine jar with an exquisite double sword totem carved on it.
If he remembered correctly, this should be the wine made by Yun Jiujiu himself.
In the game, the Moon Shadow Sword Sect’s branch plot triggers the Yunjiu’s Love Letter incident. Before she dies in battle, she will hand over the wine she brewed to the player, which is proof that her favorability level is full.
The effect of wine was mediocre, and players usually choose to sell it in stores. After all, this wine could sell for 50,000 spirit stones, which was quite a lot in the early stages.
So…
By some strange combination of circumstances, had he maxed out Yun Jiujiu’s favorability?
“…”
Ye Anping showed a helpless smile and did not refuse. He put the wine into his storage bag and said:
“Yiyi, after you tell Jiujiu, tell her that I don’t drink, but I will accept the gift.”
Yun Yiyi also understood the meaning of this wine. Her second sister regarded the wine she brewed as a treasure and never gave it away to anyone. She would not even give anyone a sip of the wine. The significance of giving away wine was self-evident.
But listening to Ye Anping’s answer, she also understood that it probably meant rejection.
“Don’t you think about it?”
“No need, I always treat her as my sister-in-law.”
“Okay, I’ll convey it to her later.”
Yun Yiyi sighed slightly. She didn’t mind, but if Ye Anping didn’t agree, she wouldn’t say anything more. After all, she would talk to Sister Yun Jiujiu later.
And at this moment, a burst of heavy footsteps suddenly came from the entrance of the garden.
“Hehehe… As expected.”
Ye Anping was slightly surprised by the old voice and quickly turned his head to look.
But he saw an old man with white sideburns and a long beard walking in, accompanied by several Taibai Sect disciples.
Yun Yiyi felt that the old man was a mortal, but the Taibai Sect disciples beside him were all inner disciples in the Nascent Soul stage. She was still a little confused for a moment until Ye Anping bowed his hands and said, “Junior greets.” After “passing the Daoist Zu”, she suddenly realized.
“Greetings Daoist Immortal Tianyun…”
“Haha… What a Daoist, I’m just a bad old man now.”
Zu Yuan waved his hand, laughed at himself, and looked at Yun Yiyi and Feng Yudie who were present. He saw Yun Yiyi sitting in a wheelchair, her face was a little weak, and he could tell at a glance how she got the wheelchair
Then, he waved his hands with a smile and said:
“Ye kid, let’s talk?”
“Well…Yudie, please push Yiyi to go to the back hall first.”
Feng Yudie nodded, took Yun Yiyi’s wheelchair, and pushed her to the side corridor. Zu Yuan also asked the Taibai Sect disciples who came with him to withdraw outside the garden.
An old man and a young man sat on both sides of the stone table under the tree.
Ye Anping didn’t know the reason why Zu Yuan was here in person, so he asked respectfully after sitting down:
“Daoist Zu, you are now a mortal, and the evil spirit in the Eastern Domain is very heavy… It’s not a good idea to come here, right?”
“I’ve still lived for more than ten thousand years. This evil spirit can’t stop me!” Zu Yuan gently stroked his beard and said with a smile, “I heard that Yun Tianchong brought the Sword Sect with him, and the Tianbei City was broken in one day, I was just wondering how he could be so capable. But… you are here, so that makes sense.”
“Uh… Junior didn’t do anything.”
“If you hadn’t done anything, could we have conquered Tianbei City with just Yun Tianchong and thousands of Sword Sect disciples?”
“…”
Ye Anping was not used to being praised in this way, so he immediately handed over his hands in embarrassment, poured him a cup of tea, and asked:
“Then what’s the purpose of Daoist Zu coming to the Tianbei City?”
“Across the blood river, we will reach the Heavenly Demon Sect. Once the Heavenly Demon Sect is destroyed, this war will be over. After all, I am the former leader of the Taibai Sect. Why won’t I come and see the result with my own eyes?”
“So…”
“Then I want to see how you kid is doing. Sun Juehu has evil intentions… Do you know the relationship between her and your Daoist companion?”
Ye Anping reacted, nodded, and said:
“Of course, I know, I have a way.”
“As long as there is a way, if you need help from the Taibai Sect, just ask it. You have taken my spiritual root, and you can be regarded as my successor. Although the young master of the Taibai Sect cannot give it to you, if you ask, Taibai Sect will naturally help with all its strength.”
“I don’t need anything, but thanks to Daoist Zu for your kindness.”
“Haha… I’m really looking forward to seeing that stinky girl Danyue in a wheelchair. Don’t let your kid die in the middle.”
“…Juniors work hard.”
“Then I’ll wait and see… Haha – come, accompany me to the next game.”
Ye Anping smiled and nodded, then put away the chess pieces on the chessboard in front of him:
“I’m here to accompany you…”
…
The rising sun slowly came to the sky directly above from the east.
Ye Anping accompanied Zu Yuan to play a game of chess in the garden of Blood Prison Mansion. Gu Mingxin and Feng Yudie also packed their clothes, so they did not stay long.
The three of them took advantage of the noon hour to walk out of the main entrance of the Blood Prison Mansion, and then they all summoned their flying swords and stepped on them.
“Then the junior will leave first. Daoist Zu, please take care. Yiyi is also…”
“Yeah.” “Anping, be careful on the road…”
After exchanging pleasantries with the people who came to see him off, Ye Anping looked at the sky, then took Feng Yudie and Gu Mingxin, turned into three green lights and rose from the Tianbei City, and then turned out of a right angle, heading straight to the northwest.
However, Ye Anping didn’t notice that there was a dark alley across the street from the Blood Prison Mansion.
Yun Jiujiu scraped against the wall, peering around to watch him, Feng Yudie, and the others. It wasn’t until the three of them penetrated the clouds with their swords that she lost sight of them, then she let out a sigh of relief.
“Damn… Oh…”
She picked up the wine gourd at her waist and took a sip, then wiped her mouth, turned around, and prepared to return to the city lord’s mansion.
However, as soon as she turned her head and took a step out of her wooden clogs, the sound of the wheelchair came from far away and became closer.
Yun Yiyi swung her wheelchair and rushed over, looking at her with a wicked smile:
“Jiujiu… Are you attracted to Anping?”
Yun Jiujiu was stunned for a moment, then immediately frowned and cursed:
“…What a fool!! He is my brother-in-law!!”
However, when she turned around and saw Yun Yiyi sitting in a wheelchair, she immediately frowned, curled her lips, and asked:
“Brother-in-law, is he really such a man? Have you slept with him basically every day this month?”
“…Anping has too much yang energy, which is a disease.” Yun Yiyi shrugged slightly and said, “He asked me to tell you that he doesn’t drink, but he accepted the pot of wine you gave him.”
Yun Jiujiu twisted her eyebrows when she heard this, but she understood it and curled her lips and said:
“Damn, you’re so literate. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. And you’re saying such roundabout things…”
“But if Anping is willing to accept you, I don’t mind. If it doesn’t work out, why don’t you become my dowry girl and marry us together?”
“Ah?! Who the hell wants to be your dowry girl?! Get out!”
“With your temper, if you aren’t given as dowry, you won’t be able to get married in the future.”
Yun Jiujiu rolled her eyes at her, turned around, and walked out, shouting:
“If you can’t get married, you can’t get married!! I don’t want to get married! What’s the point…”
Yun Yiyi sighed, turned her wheelchair, and followed:
“If you don’t get married, how will you continue the family line? If Anping and I don’t have any heirs, you and Yun Xi will have to have at least one, otherwise, the Yun family will have no heirs. Grandpa’s mantle must be passed on…”
“…Sister, what are you doing to your mother-in-law? Why are you urging me? I can at least live for thousands of years. Sooner or later, I will meet someone who is as pleasing to my eyes as my brother-in-law…”
“So, you still like Anping…”
“Hey – sister, why are you trying to trick me again?!”
“Hmm~” Yun Yiyi shrugged slightly, followed Yun Jiujiu, and asked, “What if thousands of years have passed, and you haven’t met anyone you like?”
“We’ll talk about what happens later… It really can’t be done…”
“…It really doesn’t work?”
“I can just ask my brother-in-law to lend me a bird and give birth to one.”
“?”
“Sister, if you say this again, I’m going to beat you!! Brother-in-law and the others are gone, and we have to prepare to cross the river… Where are Dad and others?”
“…Oh, he should be helping Taibai Sect to besiege Hehuan Sect… Speaking of which, Borrowing a bird? Who taught you this statement?”
“Oh, I won’t tell you!! Just…”
…
