Huhuhu...huhuu...
The hooting of the night owl echoed in the forest, making the three people under the ancient tree uneasy and eager to finish their business quickly and leave.
Ye Anping stood up with a dark face, looking at his sister who now had a guilty expression, and felt some bitterness in his heart.
The kiss of two lovers should be as delicate as soft water, as persistent as a lotus root; the two people should cooperate with each other's rhythm, and inhale each other's breath, slowly merging into one as their heart rate synchronized.
However, when kissing him, his sister completely disregarded his feelings. She forcefully sucked the air from his lungs as she pleased.
Besides, how can you kiss like a woodpecker?
But then again...
Ye Anping believed that a person's way of moving reflected their character. Could it be that the sister's gentle and obedient appearance hid a sadistic personality?
When dealing with Ating before, she indeed went a little too far on this side.
It seemed that she needed to be educated and taught how to kiss in the future but now was not the time. After all, there was still this silver-haired girl beside them.
"Sigh..."
Ye Anping sighed and turned to look at Feng Yu Die again.
Feng Yu Die had a goofy smile as usual, and when she saw him looking over, she hurriedly said, "Young Master Ye, anyway, kissing won't make babies. Besides, if Sister Pei kisses you, am I supposed to just stand by? It makes me feel like an outsider."
"..."
From now on, Sister should be more careful not to kiss him in front of this rascal... Ye Anping shook his head and ignored her, looking back at his sister. "Sister, how's it going with Yun Xi? After we separated yesterday, did she go anywhere?"
"Well..." Pei Lianxue took out a small notebook from her storage bag. After flipping through it for a while, she said, "After helping Yun Jiujiu pull out Feng Yu from the wall, Yun Xi stopped at Heavenly Cloud Inn on her way and bought a portion of braised pork. After eating half of it, she found five flies inside and vomited. Then, she went to take a bath. She first rubbed her belly and then rubbed her armpits. Finally, she had the maid help her rub her back and wash her hair. When she was getting out of the bathtub after bathing, she slipped and fell down. When she returned to her room and looked for a golden silk undergarment, she found that there was a hole in it so she took out a red one instead..."
?
Ye Anping was stunned. He raised his hand to stop her, feeling sort of mentally exhausted. Thinking carefully, his sister was quite terrifying.
When he sent her to Yun Xi, he had indeed instructed her to keep an eye on the Third Lady and report her every move to him upon their meeting. But wasn't this too detailed a record?
"Okay, sister, um... let me see it myself."
"Oh..."
Pei Lianxue nodded blankly and handed over her small notebook.
Ye Anping picked up the notebook and flipped through a few pages, only to realize that what his sister had just said was already an abbreviated version. The content in the notebook was so detailed that even the big database from his previous life would pale in comparison.
For example, regarding the episode of Yun Xi eating braised pork, she wrote:
---After eating three pieces of braised pork, she found the first fly and said, "You won't get sick if you don't eat it!" She picked it out and continued eating. After the fifth piece, she found the second fly and said, "Hiss--- another one." She picked it out and continued eating...
Feng Yu Die was curious and ran over to Ye Anping's side, peering at the little notebook. She raised her eyebrows and praised, "Whoa, Sister Pei is awesome!"
Pei Lianxue nodded and grinned. "I will definitely accomplish what Brother instructed."
"..."
Ye Anping looked at the two of them speechlessly, flipped through the notebook for a while, and finally found what he wanted to see -- Yun Xi asked Zhang Yihe to find Yun Kun and bring him to Night Tide Peak. However, after looking for him all afternoon, he was nowhere to be found.
Just as he thought, Yun Xi still had doubts about the Sword Pavilion's murder case and wouldn't give up investigating.
As long as Yun Xi was investigating, it was good.
If she was investigating, it meant that her plot line had not stopped.
Now, the three of them were each following their own plot lines. In the end, these three plot lines must converge at the same time. It didn't matter who was faster or slower.
If one of their plot lines stopped or deviated from its original path, then none of the three Misses from the Yun family would have a good ending.
After returning the notebook to his sister, Ye Anping turned to look at Feng Yu Die, who was now standing beside him.
"So? What about you?" he asked.
"Well..." Feng Yu Die rubbed her chin and said, "There was a group of unidentified gangsters who tried to ambush me, but I killed them. I thought about it this afternoon and figured that it's probably related to that person, Xue, whom we encountered in the market square. And there's also something suspicious about that Elder who took him away."
Surprised, Ye Anping raised his eyebrows and asked, "Zhuang Yan?"
"Yep, that one!" Feng Yu Die pursed her lips and raised her index finger as she reasoned, "Young Master Ye, think about it. I haven't done anything these past few days, yet those people came to take my life. Other than Sword Pavilion Master, I didn't offend anyone else, right? However, since that Sword Pavilion Master has been captured but someone is still coming after me... it means there's still someone who hasn't been caught!"
Ye Anping nodded. "Right..."
Seeing Ye Anping approve, Feng Yu Die's eyes lit up, knowing that her guess was correct. She quickly added, "Shouldn't we do something? That person is quite powerful, and we have provoked him. Shouldn't we eliminate the threat and bury him first? How does that saying go again? Oh, right, don't let grudges last overnight. It has already been one night."
"I have already taken care of it. As for Elder Zhuang, we can't deal with him. We need to lure the Elders of the Sword Sect to deal with him for us."
"Driving a tiger to swallow a wolf right? I get it! Hehehe."
"Sigh---"
Ye Anping pondered for a moment.
Early this morning, he had already known that Zhuang Yan would plan to assassinate and attack the three Ladies of the Yun family in order to refine the Blood Spirit Pearl.
Because he and Yun Yiyi confronted Zhuang Yan yesterday, Ye Anping thought that the first round of attacks would be against Yun Yiyi. He did not expect that Zhuang Yan's first target was actually Yun Jiujiu.
The reason he ambushed Feng Yu Die was probably because he was aware of her Holy Emperor bloodline and wanted to eliminate any potential trouble.
Thinking of this, Ye Anping said, "Sister Feng, there may be people trying to infiltrate the Sword Wine Peak and kidnap Yun Jiujiu in the next few days, maybe using some kind of bewitching incense or putting drugs in the food."
Feng Yu Die nodded. "So, all I need to do is prevent them from kidnapping her, right? It's simple! I've been guarding her bedroom door every day these days."
"No..." Ye Anping interrupted. "You should do your best to assist those people in secret, allowing them to smoothly and silently take Yun Jiujiu away, but you must also ensure her safety."
"Huh? Why?"
Ye Anping smiled slightly and asked, "Do you know about the concept of 'Leaving an opening when surrounding an enemy'?"
"Yeah... I know! My master told me before... When you surround the enemy, you should leave a gap or something..."
Feng Yu Die suddenly understood and replied, "Young Master Ye, are you afraid they will be backed into a corner and react desperately?"
"Yes. Yesterday at the prison, Zhuang Yan received a big blow when I got rid of Xue Xinghai. So now, I must loosen his collar a bit and reward him with a candy. And the candy I prepared is the Blood Spirit Pearl."
Ye Anping sighed and continued, "Fierce dogs are not scary; mad dogs are the problem. No one can predict when a mad dog will suddenly attack and bite people."
