The sound of rain hitting the eaves was getting louder and louder.
It was almost midnight, the activity in the *Jiang Mansion* was dying down, and most of the maids and guards had gone back to their rooms to rest.
Ye Anping stood alone on the porch, looking through the dense night rain at the lights on the top of **Dragon Mountain** in the distance.
He was praying in his heart that Feng Yu Die would not come rushing on her flying sword to *Jiang Mansion*.
If she didn't come to see him today, it would mean that Li Longling had managed to persuade Li Feng.
In this case, the ***Dragon House*** incident could be concluded with the most perfect ending, the blood sacrifice formation would not be activated, and the Dragons' Convention would be held as usual...
Seeing that it was almost the next day, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking that Li Longling should have succeeded, he prepared to go back into the house to wait for his sister to finish her bath and then hug her to sleep.
However, just as Ye Anping took two steps toward the bedroom, a sound came from above.
Feng Yu Die, who had turned into a drowned rat in the rain, landed next to the corridor. Seeing Ye Anping, she rushed over to him.
"Young Master Ye, Sister Li was..."
Before Feng Yu Die had finished speaking, Ye Anping picked up her words. "Miss Li was locked up by Li Feng, and now he is ready to take action?"
"Ah..." Feng Yu Die nodded in surprise. "... Right! How did you know?"
"The fact that you came here means that something went wrong."
Ye Anping sighed, and with a gesture, he took out a towel from his storage bag and threw it to Feng Yu Die.
"Wipe your head."
Feng Yu Die took the towel mechanically, wrapped her hair in it, and rubbed it while asking him, "So, what are we going to do?"
"Attack them head-on."
Hearing this, Feng Yu Die was stunned. She originally thought that Ye Anping had a good plan, but it turned out that his idea was to attack head-on?
"Ah?!"
"Ah, what?"
"No... you mean we have to confront Li Feng head-on?"
"Yep."
Feng Yu Die shook her head. "Can we beat him?"
"We can't."
"Then, how do we attack him?"
"What we have to do is finish off those three demonic cultivators and destroy the *Red Refined Five Lotus Formation* used for the blood sacrifice."
"Then, we still have to fight Li Feng?"
Ye Anping shook his head and calmly stated, "It's just a face-to-face meeting. As soon as the formation is broken, Li Feng is defeated."
Feng Yu Die looked down, thinking for a moment. "Then, how are we going to break the formation?"
Ye Anping had a strange look on his face. He had already told her it was the *Red Refining Five Lotus Formation*. Why was she asking him instead of Xiao Tian?
Was he an upgraded version of Xiao Tian now?
Ye Anping rolled his eyes and said, "Why do you have to ask me everything? Can't you think for yourself?"
Feng Yu Die pursed her lips shyly and giggled. "Well, I'll leave the thinking to you. Anyway, I will do whatever you ask me to do."
"Then, I ask you to never think about my sister again, will you do it?"
"Ah ha ha..."
Feng Yu Die scratched the back of her head and laughed, but in the blink of an eye, she walked over, put her arm around Ye Anping's shoulders, and grinned. "Young Master Ye, speaking of Sister Pei, let's discuss something."
Ye Anping pried her hand away, patted his shoulder in disgust, and asked with a raised eyebrow, "Discuss what?"
"How about we become Sister Pei's harem together?"
?
? ? ?
Ye Anping looked at Feng Yu Die strangely.
"..."
Feng Yu Die blinked and explained, gesturing with her hands. "Young Master Ye, let's say... I can be Sister Pei's first husband, and you can be Sister Pei's second husband. That way, we can both be together with Sister Pei from now on. Wouldn't that be great?"
"..."
Ye Anping was simply silenced by Feng Yu Die's out-of-the-box thinking. He had been in this world for almost seventeen years and had never been left wordless like that.
Seeing his expression, Feng Yu Die shrank her neck and tried again. "Then, how about you being the first husband and I, the second husband? This matter is open to discussion..."
"..."
Ye Anping took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of his nose. Regretting that he had mentioned his sister to this girl, he immediately changed the subject. "Where is Sister Xiao?"
"With Sister Li."
"Okay..."
"Right, there's also this..." Feng Yu Die took out the jade pendant from Li Longling and handed it to Ye Anping. "Sister Li gave it to me. She said we can use this to mobilize the ***Dragon House*** guards."
Slightly surprised, Ye Anping turned over the pendant in his hand, inspecting both sides. The jade pendant was clear and transparent, supposedly made from extremely fiery jade found on the side of the **Dragon Mountain**. It was engraved with a dragon relief, which was undoubtedly the one in the game.
To be honest, he really didn't expect Li Longling to take out this jade token and give it to Feng Yu Die.
Li Longling should know that if Li Feng failed, he would surely perish, and then she would only be a blind girl, alone and with no support.
Li Feng taught Li Longling what the right way was, but he himself betrayed the right way, which was somehow ironic.
Ye Anping put the jade pendant into his storage bag.
"Alright, I understand. Let's rest tonight. Find yourself a room to stay. There are many empty rooms in *Jiang Mansion*."
"But Li Feng is already ready to take action, shouldn't we also..."
Ye Anping shook his head, interrupting her. "It's not the right time yet. We have to wait for Li Feng to make the first move."
"I got it." Feng Yu Die nodded. Then, she blinked and shyly asked, "So, where is Sister Pei?"
"My sister is..."
Rumble--
The sound of thunder interrupted Ye Anping's words.
Along with the thunder, a bolt of lightning passed across the sky, and a flash of white light illuminated the entire courtyard.
At this moment, Ye Anping suddenly saw an elongated figure reflected on the pillar next to him and immediately turned around and looked behind him.
A female assassin dressed in a pure white tunic stood at the end of the corridor.
Her hair covered her entire face, with water droplets hanging from the tips, falling drop by drop to the ground, exuding a chilling aura.
Feng Yu Die was also frightened by this figure. She subconsciously took out her sword, hid behind Ye Anping, and grabbed his shoulders.
"Hey~~ What the hell?!"
"..."
Ye Anping did not answer and did not dare to blink. He stared silently at the woman in front of him.
He didn't know how long it passed like this, but suddenly, another lightning bolt flashed across the sky.
*Crash*--
The white brightness of the lightning that lit up the night sky, made Ye Anping blink uncontrollably.
However, in the same blink, the figure who was standing ten feet away just now arrived instantly in front of him as if teleporting.
Ye Anping could barely bear the tension. His face turned pale, and he gasped.
"Hiss--"
However, he suddenly calmed down, slowly raised his hand, and reached out to brush away the hair covering the woman's face.
After seeing her face, Ye Anping exhaled the cold air he had just breathed into his lungs. This thing that seemed like a combination of Sadako* and SCP-173* turned out to be his younger sister.
Ye Anping frowned and grabbed Pei Lianxue's face, admonishing her. "You girl, how did you learn to scare people?"
"...Did I scare you?"
"You did."
Pei Lianxue puffed up her cheeks as she pushed his hands away from her face. Then, she tilted her head to look at Feng Yu Die, who was hiding behind Ye Anping. "Sister Feng... what are you doing here?"
"Eh?"
Hearing Pei Lianxue's voice, Feng Yu Die raised her eyebrows, poked her head out from behind Ye Anping, and replied with a smile. "So it's Sister Pei? You scared me. I thought you were a ghost. Sister Pei, why are you dressed like that?"
