While the lady owner was fussing around her with a measuring tape, Pei Lianxue kept thinking about the dress her brother had given to Feng Yu Die.
She even had thoughts of killing her.
---Wait for Feng Yu Die to fall asleep.
---Sneak into her bedroom.
---Cover her head with a pillow.
---Stab her dozens of times in the chest with a knife.
--- Wash the knife and put it back in the kitchen.
---Wash the blood off your body, go back to the house, and sleep soundly until the next day.
---Next morning, pretend to be the first witness and take the initiative to tell the Black Star Elders that Feng Yu Die was killed by someone unknown last night!!
...
"Little girl, measurements are done."
The lady owner recorded Pei Lianxue's measurements in her notebook, but when she looked up and saw the murderous intent in her eyes, she shrank her neck in fright.
"Gi... Girl?! What's wrong with you?"
"Ah..." Pei Lianxue came to her senses, smoothed her bangs, and asked. "What's wrong with me?"
"Never mind, come here and see what fabrics and colors you like. You can also choose patterns."
The lady owner shrugged, then went to the side to take out a few samples and fabrics and let Pei Lianxue choose according to her own preferences.
After discussing these matters, she led Pei Lianxue out of the back room. She wanted to discuss the price with Ye Anping, but seeing that he was nowhere to be seen, she was quite puzzled.
"Where is the young gentleman?"
"..." Pei Lianxue was also surprised and said, "Maybe he went shopping alone on the street."
"Really..." The lady owner sighed. "He went shopping with a girl but didn't want to wait, huh?"
"It's okay, I don't care."
"Then, sit here and wait for a while, little girl, while I go to the back room and organize the materials."
"Alright..."
Pei Lianxue found a random place to sit and began to check for flaws in her assassination plan, but then she suddenly thought that if her brother really liked Feng Yu Die and she killed her, he would definitely be sad.
And what if her brother found out she did it, and he wouldn't want her anymore?
"Not good, not good..."
Pei Lianxue looked down, feeling troubled, but suddenly, another bulb lit up above her head.
But in no time, the bulb went out again.
The light bulb above Pei Lianxue's head went on and off, off and on.
"No, this is not good... That is not good either..."
At this time, Ye Anping came back, and seeing her sitting alone in a daze on the bench in front of the clothing store, he walked over and asked. "What happened? What are you thinking?"
"Ah... brother, I wasn't thinking of anything."
"Sorry, I just ran into an acquaintance and was pulled over to have a chat. I didn't have time to tell you and kept you waiting for a long time."
"No." Pei Lianxue quickly grabbed his hand. "I didn't wait too long."
"I'm glad you didn't. Are you done with the dress thing?"
"Uh-huh."
"Then, I'll go pay the deposit and pick it up for you in a few days."
Ye Anping took her inside the store to find the lady owner, talked about the price, and after confirming the time to pick up the clothes, he took Pei Lianxue to other places to shop.
After a while, the evening bell in the center of the Sky Street rang, signaling the arrival of the next day.
Dong dong---
Ye Anping hurriedly urged. "Sister, go back quickly or you won't be able to get in later. You don't have a uniform and ID tablet now. If the disciples on night patrol saw you, it would be quite troublesome to explain. The Black Star Sect has a curfew these days."
"Ah... okay." Pei Lianxue nodded. "Then, I'll come tomorrow after I get up."
"Tomorrow..." Ye Anping thought for a while. "It's not good, I have something to do tomorrow."
"Oh..."
"Since you're almost an adult, it's time to stand on your own feet." Seeing her frown, Ye Anping smiled helplessly and said, "Come back after the selection is over, I will be here in the shop all the time. It's not like I'm going to run away. Once you have your sect uniform and disciple token, you can come whenever you're free."
"...Alright, give me a hug."
"..."
Somewhat helpless, Ye Anping slowly opened his hands, taking her into his arms and hugging her for a bit before advising. "Remember, don't waste the spirit stones and pills I gave you earlier. Only buy what you need. Black Star disciples can also buy a lot of good stuff from the sect, and there are quite a few practical scrolls in the Sutra Pavilion. If you see something you like, you can buy it directly. If you are not sure, you can come and ask me. I will tell you if it's good for you to practice it."
"Well, I'm going back then."
"Go ahead."
Pei Lianxue smiled, then drew out the flying sword and looked back at him reluctantly before taking off.
Watching his younger sister fly away, Ye Anping heaved a long sigh like an old father, and it was not until she was out of sight that he turned and walked back to his physiotherapy center.
...
Although it was already curfew time, she was lucky not to run into the night patrol disciples on the way back.
After flying for a quarter of an hour, Pei Lianxue landed steadily at the complex door. She stood there and took a deep breath.
Probably because she was blown by the cold wind for a quarter of an hour, she finally calmed down and gave up the idea of "killing Feng Yu Die".
"Brother will definitely marry me in the future! Pei Lianxue is the best!"
She then pushed open the door and walked into the house.
However, as soon as she entered, she ran into Feng Yu Die who came out of the bathroom.
She was wearing an emerald green muslin dress, and her silver hair was wet. And with a towel on her shoulders, it looked like she just finished taking a bath.
Seeing Pei Lianxue, Feng Yu Die's eyes lit up, and she quickly greeted her. "Sister Pei, where have you been so late?"
"..."
Pei Lianxue's gaze was fixed on the dress she was wearing.
Emerald green... printed with cloud patterns...
Wasn't this the dress described by the lady owner earlier?
All of a sudden, the idea of "killing Feng Yu Die" was rushing back from thousands of miles away, like returning from a trip.
Seeing Pei Lianxue staring at her dress, Feng Yu Die smiled, then pirouetted and asked. "Sister Pei, this dress looks familiar, doesn't it?"
Pei Lianxue narrowed her eyes. "Looks... familiar?"
Feng Yu Die nodded and said, "Yes, wasn't this your dress when you were younger? Young Master Ye sold it to me a few days ago..."
---Ye Anping wanted to recoup as much of the loss as possible, so when he sold it to Feng Yu Die, he lied that it was an old dress of Pei Lianxue from when she was younger. He knew that this would make Feng Yu Die spend more.
?
Pei Lianxue popped a question mark.
Although she didn't understand what happened, hearing that Feng Yu Die bought it with money, she immediately felt relieved.
With a whoosh, the idea of "killing Feng Yu Die" went on a trip again.
"You bought it from my brother?"
"Oh, yes, you don't know yet." Feng Yu Die said quickly, "Your brother is here, and he opened a shop in Black Star market called Ye's Physiotherapy Center."
"...Mm-hmm."
"How do I look in this? Does it look good?"
"Mm-hmm."
Pei Lianxue nodded and went to her bedroom.
