The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Chapter 443 - Brother, Love Is In The Air

The night was quiet. The garden pond reflected the waning moon and stars in the sky and the handsome face of the young man standing by the edge.

Ye Anping, dressed in the Hundred Lotus Sect Young Master's uniform, sat by the pond alone while holding Gu Mingxin's hand, seemingly deep in thought.

Plop---

A carp's tail fluttered in the water, making ripples appear between the stars and the moon in the pond, and his face also began to ripple slightly.

Ye Anping came back from his deep thoughts and looked down at the little hand that was tightly holding his left hand. He sighed softly.

"Sigh..."

Just now, in the middle of the banquet, Gu Mingxin seemed to have encountered something. The hand suddenly became restless and even left a scratch on his arm.

Since he couldn't put it in his storage bag, he kept it hidden in his long sleeve.

Sensing that Gu Mingxin's hand started to move, he quickly gave an explanation to his sister and left the banquet alone. He came here and gently held Gu Mingxin's hand to calm her down. After that, he wrote again on her palm with a bamboo stick.

---Go find Mo Chi Ling.

Ye Anping didn't have his third eye opened, and Gu Mingxin couldn't tell him what happened to her through this hand, but looking at the hand's reaction now, he could roughly guess.

Most likely, He Buqun did something on the road...

As for what happened, either He Jiming encountered something along the way and was killed, or Yu Yan listened to He Buqun and abandoned Gu Mingxin...

But no matter what the situation was, the conclusion was the same.

---Gu Mingxin couldn't return to the Heavenly Demon Sect anymore.

At this moment, Gu Mingxin seemed to have calmed down, and the little hand holding his left hand also calmed down, its index finger and thumb gently rubbing the calluses from the sword practice on his left fingertips.

Sensing this touch, Ye Anping's expression became a little complicated. He looked at the koi in the pond gathering in front of him as if they thought he wanted to feed them.

Ye Anping suddenly had an idea and used his spiritual power to lift a koi, then grabbed the fish's body, and put its mouth onto the middle and ring finger of Gu Mingxin.

"Have fun."

At this time in the game, Gu Mingxin already had several friends who had a good relationship with her and she could trust them unconditionally.

Those friends were all troublesome people who could create obstacles for Feng Yu Die. For example, Wu Tianci, who died in his hands in the Cold Country, Wu You who would have fled after slaughtering the Hundred Lotus Sect, and Fu Yuanhua, the Elder of the Heavenly Demon Sect...

However, now because of him, almost all of these people had perished, and even the old man Yu Yan didn't like her anymore.

Gu Mingxin had now become a lonely and helpless girl.

---I'm really bad... hehe...

Ye Anping sighed in his heart and shook his head with a helpless smile.

But then again, he actually didn't expect his actions to put Gu Mingxin in her current situation.

Gu Mingxin was the Heavenly Demon, and Feng Yu Die was the Heavenly Pivot.

One was a demonic cultivator, and the other was an immortal cultivator.

The more isolated Gu Mingxin was, the more the immortal cultivators won.

Ye Anping wasn't interested in the grudges between the immortal and demonic cultivators in the five regions that had accumulated since tens of thousands of years ago.

However, the Hundred Lotus Sect was an immortal sect, and his cultivation partners were also immortal cultivators...

Therefore, he would stand on the side of the immortals.

That was it.

While he was moon gazing, lost in thought, Gu Mingxin seemed to realize that she was not touching Ye Anping's mouth with her fingers, but the carp's mouth. She immediately threw the oxygen-deficient carp out and angrily pinched the back of Ye Anping's hand with her nails.

"Heh..."

Ye Anping smiled and patted her hand gently, then hid it back in his sleeve and prepared to go back to the banquet to eat roast chicken and drink wine.

However, when he was walking through the corridor, preparing to return to the main hall, a master and a servant of similar height came from the end of the corridor.

Yun Yiyi wore a golden laced dress. When she saw Ye Anping, she quickly picked up her dress and approached him. Beside her was the maid that Yun Yiyi had arranged to take care of Ye Anping's daily life when he first came to the Sword Sect.

After a few years, Yun Yiyi hadn't changed much, but that little maid was much taller than Ye Anping remembered.

Ye Anping stopped in his tracks and sized her up. He asked with some uncertainty, "I remember, Huang Quan, was it?"

The maid originally thought that Ye Anping didn't remember her, and suddenly her eyes brightened, her cheeks flushed, and she shyly bowed her head. "Master, you still remember me. I'm honored. Hehe..."

Yun Yiyi ignored her as she took a step forward and took Ye Anping's hand, complaining with a pout. "I went to the main hall and didn't see you, so I ended up coming to the garden."

"I just came to get some fresh air. I'm not used to such a lively atmosphere." Ye Anping shrugged slightly and asked, "Is there some urgent matter?"

Yun Yiyi rebuked. "Can't I come to you if there's nothing urgent?"

"Well..."

Yun Yiyi pulled Ye Anping's hand and headed toward the garden. "I accompanied Young Miss Xiao to Flowing Water Peak. It was not appropriate for her to show up on this occasion, and I was afraid that she would be alone, so I stayed with her and drank some wine. In the end, she got drunk, so I put her in the bed to sleep, then I came to find you."

Ye Anping felt that she deliberately got Xiao Yunluo drunk, but he didn't expose her. He smiled awkwardly and walked hand in hand with her to the pond where he had just played with the koi.

Yun Yiyi looked around and took out a pair of wine glasses and a wine pot from her storage bag. With her spiritual energy, she filled the two glasses of wine and gave one to Ye Anping.

"Have a drink?"

Ye Anping took the wine glass and automatically recalled the night he was forced to drill Yun Yiyi like a dragon. He looked down at the waning moon reflected in the wine glass with a laugh. "No drugs this time, right?"

"..."

Yun Yiyi pouted slightly and snatched his glass of wine. She raised her head, drank it down, then opened her mouth to show Ye Anping that she had really drunk it before pouring him another glass.

"Do you believe me now?"

"Hehe..."

Ye Anping shook his head and smiled, then he also raised his head and drank the wine. Yun Yiyi continued. "Jiujiu and I took about a thousand Sword Sect disciples to the Central Region, but they were scattered by the sandstorm on the way. When I asked them, they said they met you and Young Miss Xiao on the way. Did you send them back to the Sword Sect?"

"Well... I met a few of them and asked them to look for the others along the way."

"Then, I'll toast a cup to you on their behalf." Yun Yiyi smiled with narrowed eyes and drank another glass of wine. "I don't know why, Yun Xi is so unlucky. I'm afraid I have to let her stay in the Sword Sect from now on. Every time she goes out, she encounters some unexpected disasters."

Ye Anping couldn't do anything about Yun Xi's peculiarities, so he could only reply, "Knock on the wooden fish drum more often and chant some sutras to accumulate merits?"

"Zhang Yihe helps her knock on it every day."

"Uh..."

Yun Yiyi glanced at Ye Anping's face and lowered her head slightly. She pursed her lips, shook the wine glass in her hand, and shyly said, "You have to spend more time with me these days. You and Miss Xiao will leave in a few days, right? Who knows when we will meet again?"

"Then, I'll accompany you to the night market later?"

Yun Yiyi winked and took a step closer to him, then nudged him with her shoulder. "It's nice for a cultivator couple to stroll hand in hand in the market, but there is a banquet in the Sword Sect at the moment. Shouldn't the cultivator couple who sneaked out of the banquet do something more meaningful in the garden while they are drunk? Something more... romantic~"

Ye Anping naturally understood what she meant, but he turned his head to look away. At this moment, his cheeks were so red that he didn't dare to look at Huang Quan, who came with Yun Yiyi.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "It's not good, right? What if someone sees us? Why don't we go back to the house?"

"We'll continue in the house later. Why do you think I brought Huang Quan with me?"

?

Ye Anping was stunned, not knowing what to do, but Yun Yiyi suddenly took his hand and walked toward a small cluster of bushes on the side of the garden.

Huang Quan followed closely behind, but after Yun Yiyi took him by the hand and walked into the bushes, she quickly turned her back and stood there with her arms folded like a door god, her cheeks flushed as she watched the surroundings.

Seeing Huang Quan's conduct, Ye Anping realized that Yun Yiyi brought her here to keep watch...

As expected of the Eldest Miss of the Sword Sect...

Ye Anping had never experienced such a scene. As he sighed, Yun Yiyi threw herself into his arms and untied his belt. "Anping, you know what?"

"...What?"

"I heard my mother say that she and my father had me in this garden."

?

"..."

"Ah, so that's how it is."

Chirp~

Before Ye Anping could recover from his shock, he was kissed and pushed onto the ground covered with a few spiritual flowers in the garden.

The two figures were completely hidden by the flowers around them.

Huang Quan stood in front of the flowers with her back to them. Her cheeks were flushed with curiosity as she wanted to look back, but due to the master-servant relationship, she did not dare to do so, and she could only focus on other places in the garden.

She watched a pair of butterflies, glowing with light, whirling and flapping from a dogwood in the garden.

At the same time, she heard a soft, rhythmic whisper in the grass behind her...

From time to time, there would be disciples of the Sword Sect delivering wine to the banquet, as well as men and women, coming out to get some air and passing by here, but Huang Quan would run over and drive them away with a scolding.

The clouds rolled in the night sky, and the waning moon had passed twenty degrees before anyone knew it. The originally lively atmosphere at the banquet in the main hall quieted down as time went by.

Huang Quan stood guard in front of the bushes, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Young Master was so powerful. He had told her before that he was impotent, but it had already been an hour...

She dutifully kept watch and drove away at least twenty people who happened to pass by.

Suddenly, a faint voice called out from the corridor. "Brother, are you there?"

Pei Lianxue looked around the garden and called out in a low voice every few steps.

Seeing her, Huang Quan hurriedly trotted over to stop her. "Miss, you can't go there! Please go around..."

"Oh..." Pei Lianxue froze for a moment. She looked at Huang Quan and asked, "Have you seen my brother? He said he wanted to get some air in the garden."

Huang Quan was a little embarrassed but quickly answered, "No."

"Eh?" Pei Lianxue tilted her head slightly. "Do you know me?"

"Huh?"

"If you don't know me, how do you know who my brother is? If you don't know who my brother is, why don't you ask about him and just say he's not here? Are you trying to fool me..."

Suddenly, with a light hum, the bush that blocked Ye Anping and Yun Yiyi trembled slightly.

"Hmm~"

Whoosh---

Pei Lianxue's ears perked up, and she immediately looked over there. "Brother, are you there?"

Ye Anping's slightly nervous voice came from behind the bushes. "Well... I'm here."

Pei Lianxue glared at the maid who was blocking her way with disdain. She quickly ran around her and toward the bushes. She parted them and looked inside, only to see Ye Anping and Yun Yiyi sitting in the flower bed as if they were having a drink while enjoying the moon.

Seeing Yun Yiyi's face flushed, she thought it was because of drinking, but she still looked at Ye Anping suspiciously. "Brother? Didn't you say you came to get some fresh air? Why are you drinking with Sister Yun here..."

Ye Anping hesitated for a while before answering.

"We just bumped into each other. Hmm... Sister, why are you here?"

"The Second Idiot just kissed me in front of Master Ye's crane, and I ran out."

?

Ye Anping couldn't react for a moment, and Yun Yiyi had the same reaction as him, not quite understanding what was said. "Sister Pei, what do you mean by kissing you in front of the crane..."

Pei Lianxue repeated. "She kissed me on the face in front of that red-crowned crane."

"..."

Ye Anping was silent for a long time, trying to understand what had happened. He knew what Feng Yu Die was thinking, but he was a little puzzled...

He remembered that he had asked Yunluo to explain those things to Feng Yu Die. Why did Feng Yu Die still think about the crane delivering a child?

Yun Yiyi didn't understand, so she didn't care too much. Looking at Pei Lianxue, she tugged at her collar and took a deep breath. "Sister Pei, are you free? I have something to tell you..."

"Oh? What is it?"

"Well..."

Yun Yiyi remembered what Xiao Yunluo said last time, that as long as Lianxue agreed, it would be fine. She had actually thought about her speech for a long time and felt that she should be able to convince Pei Lianxue, so she took a deep breath and said, "It's about Young Master Ye..."

Right at this time, Yun Jiujiu's shout came from the end of the corridor.

"Ye dude! Ye!!"

Seeing Pei Lianxue standing by the bush, she rushed over without a word and found that Ye Anping and her sister were sitting on the grass as if admiring the moon. She frowned slightly and tugged on Ye Anping's clothes.

"Ye, come with me!! I can't comfort her! Hurry up!"

"?"

"Feng Yu Die-no-bird is crying her eyes out. Hurry up and follow me. Let's go!"

Without waiting for Ye Anping to agree, Yun Jiujiu directly lifted him and ran toward the side hall of the Central Peak.

Pei Lianxue came to her senses and prepared to chase after them, but Yun Yiyi stopped her. "Sister Pei, it's okay, just let Anping go with Jiujiu. I just happen to have something to tell you..."

"Anping..."

Yun Yiyi took a deep breath and stood up with trembling legs. She asked Huang Quan to help her, then waved her hand. "Sister Pei, let's go find a room to sit down and chat..."

Pei Lianxue looked at her brother who had been taken away by Yun Jiujiu, then looked at Yun Yiyi who seemed to be a little unsteady. She pouted slightly. "...Oh."
