Ch. 242 - Brother, Make Up For It!

After Ye Anping left, Huang Quan thought she would probably get scolded, but to her surprise, the Young Lady seemed indifferent and didn't mention her interruption at all.

If she had been scolded, it would have been over after that. But now that the Young Lady didn't scold her, she became more and more anxious.

After helping Yun Yiyi comb her hair, change clothes, and lie down on the bed, Huang Quan stood nervously by the bedside for a long time before finally saying, "Miss, I'm going now. Please, sleep well."

"Alright, go ahead."

Yun Yiyi nodded slightly and watched Huang Quan exit the room with a smile on her face. However, after Huang Quan left the room, that ever-present smile instantly faded away.

Huang Quan has been with her for almost ten years. When she first entered Cloud Mansion, she was only a seven or eight-year-old girl.

The reason she had made Huang Quan her personal maid was simply because she was very kind and simple-minded, with no interest in scheming.

In other words, when she suddenly spoke up just now, it was really out of her character.

Although Yun Yiyi didn't believe that Huang Quan would do that on her own, she still did it.

Of course, she wasn't stupid. Huang Quan's actions were instigated by someone.

As for who instigated her... she figured it out without much thought -- it had to be Ye Anping.

However, Yun Yiyi did not feel angry because she understood the reason why Ye Anping did this. If Huang Quan intervened in this matter, neither she nor Ye Anping would be embarrassed.

In other words, this was Ye Anping's very polite way of rejecting her.

"Well..." Yun Yiyi pouted, a little dissatisfied, and wondered. "Young Master Ye, are you so unwilling?"

She sighed, then relaxed and turned sideways, deciding not to approach Ye Anping so aggressively in the future.

After all, as long as she became the Moon Shadow Sword Sect's Leader, her marriage contract with the Hundred Lotus Sect's Young Master would not be voided, and she would have plenty of time to spend with Ye Anping in the future.

With the passage of time, she couldn't believe that Ye Anping would not develop any feelings for her after being together for decades or even centuries.

Even a pig would develop feelings after some decades!

How could she give up when she met such an extraordinary husband who was so compatible with her?

... ...

Meanwhile---

Ye Anping was sitting at the desk in his bedroom, working on his plan. The first half of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect plan had been completed.

Because there were quite a few changes in the process, he now had to modify the plan he devised back in the Hundred Lotus Sect.

As mentioned earlier, Moon Shadow Sword Sect was a single plotline from the player's perspective, and Feng Yu Die, the protagonist of the "Heavenly Sword Fantasy" game did not participate in it.

In terms of rewards for the entire plot in the game, in addition to some useful sword techniques and a large number of heavenly materials and treasures, the most important thing was the Snow Jade Spirit Sword.

This sword was the fundamental purpose of his coming to the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.

In other words, now that he had obtained the sword, he could take his sister and Feng Yu Die and prepare to exit the scene.

However... by doing so, Yun Yiyi and her two sisters would die, and the Moon Shadow Sword Sect would also inevitably perish.

From a purely rational perspective, what did the life or death of the three sisters or the survival of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect have to do with him?

He could simply get up and leave without looking back.

But there was the principle of acting responsibly.

This was a new rule he set for himself when he was in the Dragon House.

---On the premise of ensuring his and his sister's safety, try to bring the whole incident to a satisfactory conclusion as much as possible.

And also, to repay debts of gratitude.

Yun Yiyi treated him well, and he naturally needed to repay her kindness.

A revitalized Moon Shadow Sword Sect and two alive and kicking younger sisters were his farewell gifts to Yun Yiyi.

After writing for a while, Ye Anping put down his pen and frowned slightly. "Well... who knows when Zhuang Yan will choose to strike? The current situation is quite different from what I remember. Although the general idea can be guessed, the details..."

He felt an inexplicable weight on his shoulders as if he was carrying the entire Sword Sect and tens of thousands of lives on his back. He felt a little tired and inexplicably missed his little sister.

If she were here, she could hug him from behind or help him massage his shoulders and back.

Although there was a high probability that his bones would be crushed...

"Sigh--"

Knock knock---

"Master, it's me~"

Hearing the knocking at the door, Ye Anping hurriedly gathered the papers on the table and placed them under the inkstone, then took out a piece of paper with ordinary poems written on it before saying, "Come in."

Huang Quan walked into the house, nervously carrying a bowl of steaming hot soup, and instantly the room was filled with a pungent smell.

She looked around left and right before coming to Ye Anping's side and placing the medicinal soup on the table. "Master, aren't you going to rest? It's quite late."

"I will rest in a while." Ye Anping paused, his gaze fixed on the medicine she brought over, and asked, "This is?"

"This..." Huang Quan pursed her lips and weakly said, "This is a medicine I secretly prepared. It should be beneficial for your condition!"

Ye Anping frowned. "...Did you tell someone else?"

"No, no, no!" Huang Quan hastily waved her hands. "Only I know about the preparation of the medicine."

"Oh? Where did you get that prescription?"

"I found it myself." Huang Quan took out a medical scroll from her sleeve and continued, "It is written in this medical treaty that if one's affairs are not going well and their yang energy is weak, they can use three taels of bellflower and two taels of wolfberry, together with..."

Ye Anping raised his hand to stop her. "Isn't this a prescription for ordinary people?"

"No... I heard that Master Yun had also taken it, and it was very effective. I thought you could give it a try. If you are unwilling to take it, then forget about it... I just wanted to help you regain your vigor!"

"..."

Ye Anping looked embarrassed. Although he said those words, in reality, he just casually found a reason for Huang Quan to speak on his behalf.

Based on his understanding of Yun Yiyi, after seeing Huang Quan's repeated interventions in her "night attacks" and "freebies", she would soon realize that Huang Quan was acting under his instructions and would also understand his subtle refusal intention.

Refusing Yun Yiyi's advances in this way would not decrease her favorability to him, and at the same time, he could also protect himself.

However, he really didn't expect Huang Quan to be so caring, even going so far as to seek out medical books to treat his illness.

"No need, this medicine probably won't work on me."

"But master, you can at least give it a try. This is a major issue," Huang Quan said as she looked at him innocently. "It must be cured before the marriage between you and Miss Yun is officialized; otherwise..."

"..."

Ye Anping glanced at the medicinal soup. He wasn't sure what would happen if he took it in his current condition, but traditionally speaking, the more a man supplements himself with such tonics, the better.

After a moment of silence, he simply picked up the decoction and sniffed to confirm that there were no aphrodisiac effects inside before tilting his head back and downing it in one gulp.

"Burp~"

"Master, is it bitter?  Shall I add more honey for you next time?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Well... I'll add more honey next time." Huang Quan nodded, then glanced at the window and said, "I will warm the bed now. After you finish writing, come rest, and I will help you change clothes then."

"Mm..."

Ye Anping nodded, then focused his spiritual sense to examine his meridians, preparing to check the effects of the medicine on his yang energy situation. After confirming that the medicine would not stimulate his yang energy, he finally relaxed.

After Huang Quan went to warm up the bed, he took out the paper under the inkstone again and continued with his plan.
