Chapter 209 Yiyi, you’re back?
Clap, clap, clap, clap—
After hearing Ye Anping’s words, Feng Yu Die quickly applauded and praised,
“Young Master Ye is amazing!”
However, seeing her reaction, Ye Anping felt a little aggrieved. She always felt that Feng Yu Die was complimenting him sarcastically, so he twisted his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes to ask,
“Are you being sarcastic?”
“No, no…” Feng Yu Die scratched the back of her head and giggled, “I just really think Young Master Ye thinks very carefully, hehe.”
Ye Anping gave her a look, then looked at his dazed junior sister. Seeing her current expression, he knew she probably didn’t understand anything. He said,
“Junior Sister, let me explain it to you again. You need to…”
Just as he was about to explain, Pei Lianxue glanced at Feng Yu Die and inexplicably felt a little wronged.
It was the same before. Every time Senior Brother talked about something, Feng Yu Die could always follow his train of thought and echo him, but she couldn’t add a single word.
It had been like this since childhood. Whatever Senior Brother said, she would do, and Senior Brother told her so, but… Feng Yu Die understood everything, and she could definitely understand too?!
Although she didn’t understand now, she had to learn to understand.
Pei Lianxue immediately interrupted,
“Senior Brother, I understand! I need to let Yun Xi be kidnapped by that group of people, right?”
“…”
It was rare for him to be interrupted by his junior sister when discussing important matters. Ye Anping paused for a moment, then showed a wry smile and reached out to pinch her cheek.
“No.”
“Ah… it’s not?” Pei Lianxue’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment. “Oh…”
“You just need to protect Yun Xi well, don’t let her be kidnapped or lose her life. Besides that, there’s another matter.”
“Mhm…”
“After you encounter the attackers, go to Sword Sect to find Elder Hu or any other Elder in the Nascent Soul stage and take them to the cave on the snow-capped peak of Qiong Peak outside Sword Sect.”
Ye Anping looked back at Feng Yu Die and said,
“Yun Jiujiu will be kidnapped there and imprisoned. You also need to follow them secretly. I will also sneak in then, and Yun Yiyi will also be kidnapped in. At that time, you and I will need to help them stall for time in secret until Junior Sister and Yun Xi bring the Sword Sect Elders over, understood?”
“Can’t we just take them out directly?”
“If nothing goes wrong, there will be several Core Formation stage cultivators inside, and Zhuang Yan will also appear there. Our chances of winning in a head-on confrontation are too low. Also, letting Yun Jiujiu and Yun Yiyi experience hardship together can help ease the relationship between them.”
Feng Yu Die nodded, then took a deep breath, stood up straight, and shouted,
“Okay, I got it!!!”
“…”
Ye Anping was startled by her voice, but before he could recover, Pei Lianxue, hearing this, quickly replied with an even louder voice, “Okay!!!!”
“Hiss—” Ye Anping immediately took a deep breath, looked up at the night owls in the forest stirred up by the two of them, with half helplessness and half exhaustion, he said, “It’s good to be energetic, but we are doing this secretly right now. Do you want to attract the patrolling Sword Sect disciples?”
“Oh…” “Heh heh—”
“Alright, let’s go back for now. The next meeting will be the night after Yun Jiujiu and the others are kidnapped, in the same place.”
“Okay~” Feng Yu Die nodded, then looked at Pei Lianxue and asked, “Junior Sister Pei, do you want to kiss me?”
?
Pei Lianxue frowned and looked at her, “No.”
Feng Yu Die touched her lips and leaned forward, “Ah? Why? I specifically put some honey on my lips when I came. It’s very sweet, try it, it’s definitely better than kissing Young Master Ye.”
Pei Lianxue took a few steps back with a look of disgust, waving her hand, “No!”
“Oh, just try it, it doesn’t cost any spirit stones, you won’t lose a piece of flesh by trying.”
Pei Lianxue clenched her fists, “No!!”
At this moment, Ye Anping, who had been standing by the side for a while, had black lines running down his forehead. He immediately reached out and pulled Feng Yu Die’s hair.
“Hey?!”
Feng Yu Die turned to look, but what greeted her was Ye Anping’s deep purple eyes filled with killing intent and anger, and a very calm statement:
“Go—back—now…”
Feng Yu Die’s head shrunk for a moment, and she dejectedly licked the honey on her lips and said,
“Oh…”
She pouted, and looked at Pei Lianxue with some reluctance, but finally resigned herself. Waving her hand, she said, “Junior Sister Pei, see you later.”
After speaking, Feng Yu Die also summoned her flying sword, rode it into the sky, and her figure gradually merged into the starry night, disappearing without a trace.
After she left, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief, then summoned his flying sword and stepped on it.
“Junior Sister, you should go back too.”
“Oh…”
Pei Lianxue nodded with a look of disappointment. She had wanted to be with Senior Brother for a while longer after Feng Yu Die left, but since Senior Brother told her to leave, she didn’t say much more. She turned around and summoned her flying sword, preparing to leave.
However, just as she turned around, Ye Anping suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulder, turning her back. He gently lifted her chin with his right hand, closed his eyes, and pressed his lips against hers.
Peck~~~
Their lips lightly touched, then separated.
Pei Lianxue was stunned for a moment, and then a blush spread across her face. She didn’t know why, but this one kiss, although not as forceful as the previous ones, felt more comforting than all the twenty or thirty kisses combined.
Ye Anping smiled helplessly and said, “Junior Sister, kissing is not something you can force. A kiss is a form, and intention is the meaning. Both form and meaning are indispensable. Only when the intentions are met is it a kiss. What you did to Senior Brother just now was nibbling.”
Pei Lianxue didn’t quite understand, and tilted her head.
“Huh?”
Ye Anping rubbed her cheek and smiled,
“It’s okay if you don’t understand now. Senior Brother will teach you slowly in the future.”
“Mhm!!”
Finally, after petting his junior sister’s little head and having his fill, Ye Anping jumped back onto his flying sword and rode back towards Yi Shui Peak.
The silver moon hung high, and the cold wind whistled.
Ye Anping flew to the woods below Yi Shui Peak and observed for a while. After the next patrol of disciples flew away, he rode his sword up the mountain and carefully returned along the path he came from.
Now, in Yun Manor on Yi Shui Peak, the lights in most of the rooms had already been extinguished. The maidservants patrolling the corridors had also returned to their rooms. Even the mansion guards standing outside the main gate were holding their spears and dozing off.
Ye Anping cautiously infiltrated along the path, and in a short while, he returned to the door of his bedroom.
Creak—
He lightly pushed the door open and entered the room.
However, just as he closed the bedroom door, a candle lamp suddenly lit up in the room. A girl in a white nightgown with her hair down appeared on a pearwood chair next to the bed, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
Ye Anping was not flustered at all. He had expected to be discovered and run away, so he quickly put on an expression of surprise according to his plan and retorted,
“Eldest Miss Yun, it’s so late, why haven’t you gone to rest?”
