Ch. 278 - Sister Is On Top

Boom---

A brilliance like thousands rays of light shone on the Hundred Lotus Sect martial arts field, and a roar startled the birds in the trees.

Pei Lianxue held a blunt iron sword in her hand and looked at Liang Ating, who was embedded in the ground. She pursed her lips and sighed. Compared with half a year ago, this girl's sword skills had not improved at all.

"Ating, that's enough for today. Let's continue tomorrow."

"..."

"Whoo..."

Seeing that Liang Ating no longer had the strength to reply, Pei Lianxue felt a little nostalgic for some reason. When she first started practicing, her brother often embedded her in the ground of the martial arts field.

Come to think of it, he hadn't done this for several years now.

Ever since she became powerful, the one embedded in the ground was her brother.

"Ating, as soon as you can embed me in the ground, your training will be done."

"..."

Pei Lianxue retracted her blunt iron sword, stepped forward, pulled Liang Ating out of the ground, then carried her on her shoulders as she flew toward the Hundred Lotus Sect's Medical Center with her sword.

Looking down from the sky at the hundreds of pavilions on the tops of the Hundred Lotus Sect's peaks, the scene in her eyes was completely different from the Hundred Lotus Sect she remembered.

When she first came here, she secretly sighed in admiration: It's so big! So prosperous!

However, after having been to the Black Star Sect, the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, and even the Dragon House, she realized how short-sighted she was back then and that the small Hundred Lotus Sect was even less than one-tenth of the land occupied by those places.

But now, the Hundred Lotus Sect gradually began to take on the appearance of a large sect.

In the martial arts field right now, many disciples affectionately called her 'Sister Pei', but in a little while, they might call her 'Lady Ye'.

"Hee hee..."

With such crazy thoughts, Pei Lianxue landed in front of the Medical Center in no time, carrying Liang Ating over the threshold and into the medical pavilion that had been expanded to seven floors.

At this moment, the medical pavilion was quite deserted, with no one around.

Pei Lianxue looked around and called out. "Is Mrs. Chen here~~"

In the next moment, an old woman with white hair came down from the second floor with a strange look on her face. When she saw that it was Pei Lianxue, her old face suddenly brightened.

She glanced at Liang Ating and said with a wry smile, "Little Pei, when you called me, I thought you had brought the Young Master here again. You have been away for the past two years, and it's been very boring here."

"He-he..."

Mrs. Chen took Liang Ating from Pei Lianxue, put her on the bed next to her, and began to check her while Pei Lianxue followed and watched silently, for fear of disturbing Mrs. Chen's consultation.

While bandaging Liang Ating's wounds, Mrs. Chen secretly glanced at Pei Lianxue's face. She was silent for a while, then casually remarked, "Little Pei, Young Master is very kind to you now, right?"

"Huh?" Pei Lianxue tilted her head slightly, hesitated for a while, and then nodded. "Yeah, brother is very good to me."

"Hehehe..." Mrs. Chen smiled helplessly. "Young master used to beat you every day, but now that you have grown up, he has probably finally realized that his sister is a beauty."

"Ah... well, it doesn't matter, I don't mind since brother did it for my own good."

"Oh? So, you like Young Master?"

Pei Lianxue nodded. "Of course I like him."

"Then, you have to keep a close eye on him." Mrs. Chen joked, reaching out and grabbing Pei Lianxue's face. "Young Master is handsome, and his temper has become gentle now. He's going out in the world now. If you don't pay close attention, some other girls might steal his heart."

"..."

"Young Master sees you every day, therefore he might overlook your merits and think that your qualities are ordinary. At that time, if he meets a girl prettier than you, or who is more proactive, you will be at a great disadvantage."

Pei Lianxue lowered her eyes in silence for a while, then asked, "Am I at a disadvantage?"

Mrs. Chen raised her eyebrows. "Since childhood, you have been very passive and quiet, so yes, you are at a disadvantage. Back then, Patriarch Ye and Mrs. Kong... do you know how they hooked up? It was Mrs. Kong who chased after Patriarch Ye and finally conquered him."

"Then, do I also have to chase after my brother?"

"Not necessarily. I don't recommend you to follow Mrs. Kong's example. Young Master and his father do not have the same temperament." Mrs. Chen sighed slightly. "What I'm saying is that you have to be more proactive. Do you know how to welcome but reject at the same time? Men like the kind of girl they can't easily get and have to conquer her. No man can resist this."

"Hmm... you mean to play hard to get?" Pei Lianxue tilted her head and asked in confusion. "But he said arrogance is not a good feature."

"Arrogance?" Mrs. Chen blinked. "Well... I'd say that you must have the arrogance to be indifferent and the fragility of a small bird. But it also takes a degree of control not to overdo it. You can't be overly proud, and you can't be pampered all the time because being pampered all the time will soon make Young Master feel tired. So, it's better to be less pampered and a little more proud."

Pei Lianxue listened with a solemn frown and nodded, then took out a small notebook and pen from her storage bag and wrote down everything.

"Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

... ...

Night came, and the spirit stone lamps lit the Hundred Lotus Sect like twinkling stars.

On the side peak, there was a quiet, small courtyard, and the paper windows reflected the candlelight in the house.

Ye Anping sat at his sandalwood desk, and in front of him was a piece of paper that read "Central Region Imperial Sect Strategy Plan". Below, there were names connected in a straight line one after another.

And in the center, the name written in the largest letters was 'Si Xuanji'.

Right now, she was the person who gave Ye Anping the biggest headache in the plan.

She was a moody, temperamental, and unpredictable person to begin with, not to mention that she was also an extremely powerful cultivator with the highest level of cultivation in the four regions.

It was like playing chess.

If both opponents predicted each other's every move, the result would be that no chess pieces would ever be moved into play.

Knowing that the other party could predict their moves, neither of them would make that move.

Ye Anping hated this feeling of not being able to see the whole picture, but at the moment, he really didn't have any special way to deal with Si Xuanji.

"Sigh--"

After thinking about it for a while, in the end, Ye Anping gave up. He could only improvise when it came to the matters involving Si Xuanji. He didn't even know what kind of identity she would use to participate in the Imperial Sect's affairs at that time.

One thing was certain, it was impossible for her to appear as the Matriarch of the Black Star Sect.

Ye Anping pinched his nose bridge, took out the jade pendant Si Xuanji had given him before going to Moon Shadow Sword Sect, and held it in his palm, looking at it.

The jade pendant exuded a hazy glow against the moonlight outside the window.

"This pendant has also helped a lot. When I return it to her, maybe I could listen to what she has to say?"

After a moment of silence, he involuntarily remembered what happened between him and his sister.

On the way back, he had taken the time to read some cultivation books on the 'Water Spirit Root' and studied the Snow Jade Spirit Sword, and had come to a conclusion: It seemed that his sister's pure water spirit root had its nature reversed because of Immortal Yun Jian's spirit sword.

Normally, if he slept with his sister, a great amount of her pure water energy would be absorbed by him.

However, what was happening now was that all his merits were transferred to her.

Although it wasn't much of a problem once or twice, if he didn't control the matter, his sister could unconsciously drain him out.

"Heh... I haven't thought about this in advance. It's good that Master Yun Jian took some steps to ensure sister's protection, but does this mean that he values her more than me?"

Ye Anping leaned back on the chair, raised his head in thought for a while, and then stopped thinking. "Oh well... Anyway, I haven't had the chance to look for her on the way back. Now that we're back in the Hundred Lotus Sect, there's no reason not to look for her..."

With thoughts running wild through his mind, Ye Anping felt a little restless and eager to find his sister as soon as possible.

However, just as he reached the door, there were two soft knocks.

Knock-knock---

"Brother."

"..."

Ye Anping took a deep breath, suppressed the agitation in his heart for the time being, straightened his clothes, and opened the door.

Outside the door, Pei Lianxue seemed to have just finished bathing, water beads still hanging on her hair, and she was wearing the white robe that she usually wore when sleeping.

The sight of those moist cherry lips made Ye Anping's heart itch, and he even wanted to turn into a wolf and pounce on her.

However, he still managed to suppress the urges with the less and less effective medicine, 'Feng Yu Die'.

No matter what, when facing his sister, he still had to act properly and politely, like a proper gentleman, and not let her think that he had his 'brain down there'.

"Sister, it's so late. What's the matter?"

Pei Lianxue pursed her lips and glanced at Ye Anping's face. "Can I come in?"

"Oh... sure."

Ye Anping made room for her, and after Pei Lianxue entered, he gently closed the door and took a deep breath, asking, "So, what is it?"

"While on the road, I didn't help you to relieve your yang energy, so I came here."

"..."

Ye Anping was taken aback, not expecting her to be so proactive. He shook his head and sighed, then grabbed her face. "You can't take it anymore?"

Pei Lianxue pouted and thought: No, I can't take it. After all, the last time was a few months ago in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.

But Mrs. Chen said that she should be resisting and welcoming at the same time, be proud and fragile.

"No, I was just worried about your yang excess problem."

Frowning, Pei Lianxue took his hand and hugged him directly.

Ye Anping froze, but then he felt that his sister had suddenly become so charming, with this feeling of both rejection and welcoming...

He took a deep breath, picked up his sister, and in one quick step arrived by the bed.

However, just as he was about to push her down, Pei Lianxue broke free from him.

"Stop!"

"... Huh?" Ye Anping thought that his sister wanted to backtrack, and he pursed his mouth, feeling somewhat guilty. "Don't you want to?"

Pei Lianxue paused, then simply turned around, put her small hands on Ye Anping's chest, and gave him a hard push.

"Brother, you lie down, I'll be on top."
