Ch. 415 - A Chance Encounter With Brother

Creak---

The wooden door of the private room slowly closed.

After Ye Anping left, the room fell silent.

Commander Fu Xuan and Yue Xuanming looked at the map with four routes left behind by Ye Anping, and they could not help but frown slightly.

They had already had a hunch that the demonic cultivators would lay siege to the Eastern Wall cities.

But before Ye Anping came, it was just a hunch.

Now that they knew that the Ghost Spirit Sect Patriarch was leading the invasion, there was no way that the three cities could be defended.

With a slightly bitter smile, Fu Xuan put the map into the storage bag and turned to Yun Tianchong. "We will also leave now. Just as Young Master Ye said, I advise you to take the disciples of the Sword Sect away as soon as possible."

"Goodbye..."

Fu Xuan and Yue Xuanming cupped their hands in salute one after another, then turned around and left.

Creak---

The door opened and closed again, and only Yun Yiyi and Yun Tianchong were left in the room.

Yun Tianchong took a deep breath. At this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart. He had brought the disciples of the Sword Sect here for the primary purpose of gathering the Justice Division people and bringing them to the Sword Sect.

The secondary purpose was to take the girls out to see the world, travel around, and repair the fragile father-daughter relationship.

But as they say, misfortunes never come singly.

After encountering the sandstorm and demonic beast attacks, over nine hundred Sword Sect disciples were scattered and only sixty managed to reach the Great Wall. They originally thought they could rest for a while after their arrival, but eventually, they heard the news that the Ghost Spirit Sect was about to attack the Wall after less than a day of rest...

Yun Tianchong felt a little embarrassed to tell the Sword Sect disciples this bad news.

There must be a limit to bad luck, right?

"Sigh..." Yun Tianchong let out a long breath and looked up at Yun Yiyi. "Yiyi, this matter... Hey?! Where are you going?"

He wanted to ask Yun Yiyi's opinion, but before he could finish, Yun Yiyi already chased after Fu Xuan and the others and ran out.

Tap, tap, tap---

When Yun Tianchong reached the door, Yun Yiyi had already run downstairs.

Although he didn't know where Yun Yiyi was going, if it was really as Ye Anping said, and the Ghost Spirit Sect wanted to besiege the Eastern Wall cities, then there must have been demonic cultivators who had come here to scout for news.

The Yun family's blond hair was really conspicuous here. Yun Yiyi and the others would be recognized at a glance by the demonic cultivator spies hidden in the city as they walked the streets.

Logically speaking, those demonic cultivator spies wouldn't expose themselves by kidnapping them on the street, but what if?

Yun Tianchong ran to the third-floor lobby of the restaurant, called Zhang Yihe, who was chatting with other disciples, and instructed him. "Zhang Yihe, send some people to call back all the Sword Sect disciples who are wandering around the city. No one is allowed to leave this restaurant without my permission. And get someone to keep an eye on the surroundings."

"Eh? Patriarch... what happened?"

"Don't ask so many questions, just do as I tell you. I'll go get Jiujiu and the others."

...

The sun had already set, and the shops in the Brilliance City lit up lanterns one after another and hung them on both sides of the street. The number of pedestrians on the streets gradually increased.

Yun Yiyi rushed out of the restaurant and swept her gaze on both sides of the street. Seeing Ye Anping walking toward East Street in the crowd, she quickly chased after him.

"Anping! Wait... Hey?"

However, as soon as she reached out her hand to touch Ye Anping's back, she was hindered by the passers-by.

Yun Yiyi bit her lips lightly, hesitating for a moment. Then, she lifted her dress slightly and with small, urgent steps, quickly chased after him.

"Why are you walking so fast..."

After so many years of not seeing her, why did Ye Anping not react at all?

Although the matter of demonic cultivators that he mentioned earlier was indeed rather urgent, it shouldn't be so urgent that he did not even have time to catch up with her, right?

Doesn't he have anything to say to me?

"Anping! Wait!!"

Yun Yiyi shouted as she chased the figure in front of her and shuttled fast through the crowd. She didn't know if Ye Anping did it on purpose or if he really didn't hear her, but he never looked back once, and his pace became faster and faster.

Every time she was about to catch up with him, there would always be some passers-by blocking her way.

"Anping!!!"

She didn't know how many streets she had run through, but when she reached an intersection, the figure vaguely visible in the crowd had completely disappeared.

Yun Yiyi stopped in her tracks and looked around. She slowly lowered her golden-white dress, covering her exposed white ankles and gold-rimmed embroidered shoes.

"..."

Yun Yiyi pursed her lips tightly, her eyes revealing endless disappointment. She clenched the corner of her clothes and lowered her head.

"Does he really not want to see me..."

She closed her eyes and exhaled, then turned around and prepared to go back. Since the Ghost Spirit Sect was about to attack the city, they had to escape as soon as possible. There were a lot of things waiting for her to do...

But just as she turned around, a hand pressed on her shoulder.

!

Yun Yiyi was slightly stunned.

Could it be?!

She immediately turned her head.

And then, she heard:

"Sister, why are you standing in the middle of the street?"

Yun Jiujiu was carrying a wine jar on her left shoulder that was two or three times higher than her head. She looked up at her, her eyebrows twisted into two wavy lines. She was quite puzzled.

"Jiujiu, it's you..."

?

Dumbfounded, Yun Jiujiu asked in a loud voice, "What the hell is wrong with you? Why are you so unhappy to see me? I just went to buy some wine. Sister, let me tell you, this Brilliance City's wine is very good, very sweet! You and Third Sister will definitely like it. I prepared such a big jar for you. I will order some roasted chicken later, and we three will drink together!"

Saying this, Yun Jiujiu knocked on the wine jar on her left shoulder.

Ding Ding---

Yun Yiyi sighed slightly as she glanced at the wine jar. "Third Sister is still lying in bed. She can only watch us drink..."

"Oh, right. Then, let's do it together?"

"..."

Feeling quite depressed, Yun Yiyi waved her hand in acquiescence and turned around to lead Yun Jiujiu back to the Clear Sand Pavilion. However, just as she took a step forward, a hand was placed on her shoulder again...

"Jiujiu, what now..."

But this time, it wasn't Yun Jiujiu.

Behind her stood Ye Anping, wearing a bamboo hat. When he saw her turn around, he looked at Yun Jiujiu carrying a large wine jar and smiled. "...You three sisters have a pretty good relationship."

Yun Jiujiu didn't notice where he came from. She narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a long time before it suddenly dawned on her.

"Oh! Ye Anping! What a coincidence. Why are you here?"

"Isn't it thanks to you..."

As Ye Anping said this, Yun Yiyi, who had been staring at him blankly, suddenly opened her arms and lunged at his chest, forcing him to take two or three steps back before he could barely regain his balance.

Yun Yiyi hugged him tightly, bit her lip, and raised her head. "You bad guy! I thought you had forgotten me! Ye... Ye Anping!! You... I hate you so much!"

Ye Anping asked back with a helpless face, "If you hate me so much, why are you still hugging me?"

"..."

Yun Yiyi pouted and pressed her forehead against his chest, closing her eyes and asking softly, "Why did you ignore me just now?"

"I didn't want to ignore you, but your father was there. If I paid attention to you, your father would spank me."

"What are you afraid of him for? Grandfather has already accepted you as his personal disciple. If he dares to spank you, you show him my grandfather's sword. Even if you spank him, he won't dare to retaliate."

?

"That's true, but..."

Ye Anping shrugged and simply hugged her shoulders. However, seeing Yun Jiujiu with her wine jar next to them like a light bulb, he didn't know what to do. He tapped her awkwardly on the shoulder, indicating that she should hug him later.

"Second Miss Yun, your husband should be over on East Street."

?

A vein popped out on Yun Jiujiu's forehead, and she raised her right clenched fist. "Feng Yu Die? She's not my husband, I'm not into women. If you're making such jokes about me, believe it or not, I will beat you up. So, what are you doing here?"

Ye Anping looked at Yun Yiyi, who was hugging his waist, unwilling to let go. With a helpless expression, he replied, "I'm here to save you guys."

"Eh?"

"I heard that you came to the Eastern Great Wall, so I rushed over from the Black Star Sect overnight. You guys were fine, why did you have to drag your whole family here?"

Yun Jiujiu didn't quite understand and looked at Yun Yiyi with a frown.

Yun Yiyi thought for a while before raising her head. "Anping, you came here for us?"

"To be precise, I came here for you." Ye Anping pinched her nose as if he was teasing a kitten. "If I didn't come over to tell you about the Ghost Spirit Sect, you would most likely stay here. And when they came to the city, you, your two sisters, and your father will all die without a doubt."

"..."

Ye Anping frowned slightly and pinched Yun Yiyi's face again, admonishing her. "You'll have to make it up to me, I owe a lot of favors this time. The Demon King, Immortal Red Moon, Immortal Fu Xuan..."

Thinking that Ye Anping was really angry this time, Yun Yiyi lowered her eyes, then simply let go of his waist and leaned on his shoulders, standing on tiptoes.

Chirp~~

Their lips touched.

Yun Jiujiu looked at the two of them with goosebumps all over her body and almost dropped the wine jar on her shoulder. Her facial features puckered, and she roared, "Whoa, whoa, whoa--"

Noticing that the gazes of the surrounding pedestrians were attracted by the two, she turned her head and violently raised her foot, stomping down.

Boom---

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a kiss? If you keep looking, I'll knock your teeth out!"

However, Yun Yiyi didn't care at all. Instead, she hooked Ye Anping's neck and bit his lips with her teeth to prevent him from retreating.

Ye Anping glanced around, raised his hand, and lowered the edge of his hat slightly, covering his and Yun Yiyi's heads a little. Then, he closed his eyes to feel the tip of the lips that tasted different from Xiao Yunluo and his sister.

After a while, Yun Yiyi's heels finally landed back on the ground.

Once the spell was broken, she blushed and lowered her head. "I'll pay you back the rest later..."

"Didn't you call off the engagement?"

"Breaking off the engagement doesn't mean that I don't like you..."

Yun Yiyi lowered her eyes slowly and continued to snuggle into Ye Anping's arms like a maggot. She leaned her head back against his chest and listened to the quickening heartbeats amidst the noisy street.

Ye Anping let out a long sigh and glanced at Yun Jiujiu who was facing away from them, looking at them in a very tangled way, wanting to look but not wanting to.

Seeing that she had already formed her Core, he congratulated her. "Second Miss Yun, have you already formed your Core?"

"Well, when you and Feng Yu Die left, I went to overcome the tribulation. By the way, I sent something to Feng Yu Die. Did she receive it? I don't know where my eagle flew to. It has never come back..."

Ye Anping was stunned. He remembered the messenger eagle that brought the secondary golden pills. It seemed that it failed to fly when he threw it out of the window and broke its wings...

"Ah... she got it. Sister Feng used it up to pay tribute to her master, and then put it on the black market. It hasn't been sold yet..."

Yun Jiujiu: "? That thing... she put it on the black market?"

"Uh... Who knows what she thinks?" Ye Anping looked away and quickly changed the topic. "Yiyi, let's find a place to sit and chat. I have something to say to you. When I talked to Master Yue before, because your father was present, I only informed the Justice Division of the arrangements. Sword Sect might be coming with us on this trip."

Yun Yiyi nodded, but she still didn't let go. She looked left and right and coincidentally, there was a small restaurant on the street that looked pretty good. "Well... let's go there."

"Okay."

Ye Anping nodded in agreement, but seeing that she didn't let go, he sighed helplessly and simply tripped Yun Yiyi's heel with his right foot before picking her up in a princess carry.

"Hey?!"

"What can I do if you hold me like this..."

Halfway through his words, he stopped abruptly.

Just as Ye Anping was about to carry Yun Yiyi to sit down in that small restaurant, a crisp bell suddenly rang in his consciousness, causing him to freeze on the spot like a puppet.

Jingle-ling-ling---

Jing-ling-ling---

The bell was rather close, sounding as if it was only about one hundred feet away from him.

Yun Yiyi saw that he suddenly froze and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Shh--" Ye Anping shook his head slightly and signaled her to keep quiet. "Don't talk."

"..."

His first thought was that Xue Tianqiao had escaped from his sister's hands and ran to the streets to play, then she happened to come here, but thinking about it, his sister wouldn't be so careless...

However, just as he was holding Yun Yiyi, and turned to look behind him...

A dark little figure stood in front of him, with her arms crossed on her chest and narrowed eyes as she stared at him...

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Ye Anping and Xue'e stared at each other in silence.

The deep purple eyes were as still as still water, but the dark eyes of Xue'e gradually widened, and a hint of fear appeared in them. She opened her mouth and shouted, "Ming..."

However, the moment it shouted a word, Ye Anping frowned and ordered. "Tian!"

In a flash, Xiao Tian rushed out from his brow like a golden feather arrow and headbutted Xue'e's belly.

"Ugh!"

Xue'e was too late to dodge and was hit by Xiao Tian's head, drawing a black parabola in the air and then falling heavily to the ground.

"Hiss-- you gold..."

Boo hoo--

Xiao Tian didn't give her a chance to speak. She punched her in the face, knocking Xue'e's head directly into the mud.

"Since I was beaten by you last time, I have been practicing boxing and lifting weights in my Anping's soul realm every day. Watch how I beat your face this time! Humph!"

"..."

Yun Yiyi couldn't see Xiao Tian and Xue'e, but seeing Ye Anping staring at the ground not far away, she couldn't help asking, "Tian?... Tian who?"

Yun Jiujiu: "Ah? Why are you calling me?"

Ye Anping didn't say anything. He hugged Yun Yiyi and wanted to jump onto the eaves to leave the place.

However, just as he was about to jump onto the roof of the building next door, he found that there was already someone on the roof.

In the dusk, two women and one man stood on the roof of an inn by the street with their hands behind their backs, looking around.

As if sensing his gaze, the three people on the roof slowly turned their heads to look at Ye Anping and Yun Yiyi, in his arms.
