Chapter 208: Senior Brother, Drive the Tiger and Devour the Wolf
Hoo-hoo… Hoo-hoo…
The sound of owls echoed through the forest, as if urging the three people under the ancient trees to finish their business and leave quickly.
Ye Anping stood up with a dark expression. Looking at his junior sister, who now appeared guilty, he felt a pang of bitterness.
The love between two people kissing should be as delicate as gentle water, as tender as lotus root silk, with both parties coordinating their rhythm, drawing in each other’s saliva and breath, slowly becoming one, their heart rates synchronized.
However, when kissing his junior sister, she completely disregarded his feelings, putting all her strength into it. For every bit of air he inhaled through his nose, she would draw just as much air out of his lungs.
Moreover, what kind of kiss was like a woodpecker pecking?
But then again…
Ye Anping had always felt that a person’s every action reflected their personality. Could it be that beneath his junior sister’s soft and obedient exterior, she harbored a “sadistic” nature deep down?
She had been a bit too “S” with Ating before.
It seemed he would have to educate her properly later on how to kiss, but at least not now, especially with a silver-haired girl standing right beside them.
“Sigh—”
Ye Anping sighed, turned his head, and looked at Feng Yu Die again.
Feng Yu Die, as always, wore a silly smile on her face. Seeing him look over, she quickly said:
“Young Master Ye, kissing doesn’t lead to babies anyway. Besides, if Junior Sister Pei is kissing you, should I just stand here awkwardly? It would make me seem like a bystander.”
“… …”
In the future, he should probably tell his junior sister to be more careful and not kiss him in front of this woman… Ye Anping pursed his lips, shook his head, and ignored her. He looked back at his junior sister and asked:
“Junior Sister, how is Yun Xi? After we parted ways yesterday, where did she go?”
“Mmm…” Pei Lianxue nodded, then took out a small notebook from her Storage Bag and flipped through it for a while. She said, “After helping Yun Jiujiu pull Feng Yu out of the wall, Yun Xi went to Yun Tian Restaurant to buy some braised pork. She ate half of it and found five flies inside. She gagged, then went to take a bath. She scrubbed her belly first, then her armpits, and finally asked a maidservant to scrub her back and wash her hair. When she stepped out of the bathtub, she slipped and fell. Back in her room, she went to find a pair of golden silk bloomers, found a hole in them, and then took out a pair of red bloomers…”
?
Ye Anping was stunned for a long time. He raised his hand to stop her, feeling inexplicably tired, but upon reflection, he found his junior sister to be rather terrifying.
Before he sent his junior sister to Yun Xi, he had indeed instructed her to keep an eye on Yun Xi and report her every move during their meeting. But this level of detail was a bit excessive, wasn’t it?
“Junior Sister, uh… I’ll look at it myself.”
“Oh…”
Pei Lianxue nodded blankly and handed over the small notebook.
Ye Anping picked up the notebook and flipped through a few pages, only to realize that what his junior sister had just said was a simplified version. The notebook’s contents were so detailed that even his previous life’s big data would be ashamed.
Even the matter of Yun Xi eating braised pork was written as:
Ate three pieces of braised pork, found the first fly, “Unclean! Eating is not a problem!” Removed it and continued eating. When she reached the fifth piece and found the second fly, “Hiss— no more?” Removed it and continued eating…
Feng Yu Die, curious, ran over to Ye Anping’s side and peered at the notebook. Her eyebrows shot up in surprise, and she praised:
“Junior Sister Pei is amazing!”
Pei Lianxue nodded and smiled, pursing her lips:
“When Senior Brother gives me a task, I will surely do it well.”
“… …”
Ye Anping looked at the two of them speechlessly, flipped through a few more pages, and finally found what he wanted to see – Yun Xi had asked Zhang Yihe to find Yun Kun and bring him to Xi Ri Peak, but they couldn’t find him all afternoon.
Just as he had expected, Yun Xi was still lingering on the murder case in the Sword Pavilion. She wouldn’t rest until it was thoroughly investigated.
As long as Yun Xi was investigating, it meant her plotline hadn’t stopped.
Now, the three of them were each following their own plotlines. In the end, these three plotlines had to converge into one simultaneously; neither could be faster nor slower.
If anyone’s plotline stopped or deviated from the original path, the final outcomes for the three young ladies of the Yun family would not be good.
After returning the notebook to his junior sister, Ye Anping turned his head to Feng Yu Die, who was now standing beside him:
“Hmm? What about your side?”
“My side…” Feng Yu Die stroked her chin and said, “A group of unknown villains tried to ambush me, and I killed them in return. I thought about it this afternoon and figured that the person named Xue we met in the marketplace earlier is likely involved, and so is the elder who took him away.”
Ye Anping was slightly surprised and asked, raising an eyebrow:
“Zhuang Yan?”
“Yes! That’s him.” Feng Yu Die pouted, raised her index finger, and reasoned, “Young Master Ye, I haven’t done anything significant these past few days, and that group clearly targeted my life. Aside from the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion, I haven’t offended anyone else, right? However, the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion was arrested. Since someone is still coming after me, it means he likely wasn’t arrested!”
Ye Anping nodded: “Mm…”
Seeing Ye Anping nod, Feng Yu Die’s eyes lit up, knowing her guess was correct. She quickly added:
“Shouldn’t we do something? That person is quite powerful. We’ve already provoked him. If we don’t cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, burying him, then what’s that saying? Oh yes, no grudges overnight! It’s already been more than one night.”
“I’ve already dealt with him. As for Elder Zhuang, we can’t handle him alone. We’ll need to lure an elder from the Sword Sect to deal with them for us.”
“Drive the tiger and devour the wolf, right?! I get it! Hehe.”
“Hoo—”
Ye Anping stared at his chin, lost in thought.
This morning, he already knew that Zhuang Yan would plan assassinations and attacks on the three young ladies of the Yun family to refine the Blood Spirit Pearl.
And because he and Yun Yiyi had appeared before Zhuang Yan yesterday, Ye Anping had expected the first round of attacks to be on Yun Yiyi’s side. He hadn’t expected Zhuang Yan’s first target to be Yun Jiujiu.
The reason for ambushing Feng Yu Die was likely because he sensed her Saint Emperor bloodline and wanted to eliminate potential future trouble.
Thinking of this, Ye Anping said:
“Senior Sister Feng, in a few days, someone might infiltrate Jian Jiu Peak and try to abduct Yun Jiujiu, possibly using bewitched incense like Misty God, or by poisoning her food.”
Feng Yu Die pondered for a moment and nodded:
“So, I just need to prevent them from abducting her, right? That’s easy! I’ll guard her bedroom door every day for the next few days.”
“No…” Ye Anping interrupted, “You need to assist that group from the shadows as much as possible, allowing them to successfully and silently abduct Yun Jiujiu, but also ensuring Yun Jiujiu’s safety.”
“Ah? Why?”
Ye Anping smiled slightly and retorted:
“Do you know about ‘surrounding the enemy and leaving a gap’?”
“Mmm… I know! My Master told me about it before… when besieging an enemy, you should leave an opening or something…”
Feng Yu Die pondered for a moment and suddenly understood, replying:
“Young Master Ye, you’re afraid of cornering them into a desperate situation, right?”
“Mm. Yesterday, in the Heavenly Prison, I made Zhuang Yan suffer a great loss by eliminating Xue Xinghai. Therefore, I must now loosen his collar and give him a sweet, and the sweet I’ve prepared for him is the ‘Blood Spirit Pearl’.”
Ye Anping sighed deeply, saying: “A vicious dog isn’t scary; a mad dog is the problem. No one can predict when a mad dog will suddenly bare its teeth and bite.”
