*Clap clap clap---*
After listening to Ye Anping, Feng Yu Die clapped her hands and praised him. "Young Master Ye, you're awesome!"
However, seeing her reaction, Ye Anping felt a little frustrated. He had the feeling that Feng Yu Die was praising him in a sarcastic way. So, he frowned and narrowed his eyes. "Are you mocking me?"
"No, no..." Feng Yu Die touched the back of her head, giggling. "I really think Young Master Ye is very thoughtful, hehe."
Ye Anping rolled his eyes at her and then looked at his sister, who was standing next to him in a daze. Seeing her expression, he knew that she probably didn't understand anything, and said, "Sister, let me tell you what you need..."
As he was about to explain, Pei Lianxue glanced at Feng Yu Die, feeling a little aggrieved.
It was the same as before. Every time Brother was talking about something, Feng Yu Die could always keep up with his thoughts and coordinate with him, but she couldn't say a word.
Since childhood, she always did what her brother asked her without any questions. But... Feng Yu Die understood everything he said, so surely she could understand it too?!
Although she didn't understand now, she would learn to understand.
Therefore, she immediately interrupted him. "Brother, I understand! I will let Yun Xi be kidnapped by that group of people, right?"
"..."
It was a rare thing to be interrupted by his sister when he was talking about serious matters. Ye Anping paused slightly, then, with a wry smile, he raised his hand and pinched her face. "No, that's not it."
"Ah... it's not it?" Pei Lianxue looked a little lost. "Oh..."
"You just need to protect Yun Xi, don't let her be captured or lose her life. Besides that, there is one more thing."
"Um..."
"After the kidnapping takes place, go to the Sword Sect and find Elder Hu or any other elder in the *Nascent Soul* stage. Take them to the cave on the **Jade Snow Peak** outside the Sword Sect."
Ye Anping looked back at Feng Yu Die and said, "After Yun Jiujiu is kidnapped, she will be imprisoned there, and you'll have to secretly follow them as well. Yun Yiyi will also be captured, and I'll be there undercover. At that time, you and I need to secretly help them stall the time until Lianxue and Yun Xi come over with the Sword Sect Elders, understand?"
"Can't we just take them and escape directly?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be several *Core Formation* cultivators inside, and Zhuang Yan will also appear there. It's too risky for us to confront them head-on. Besides, letting Yun Jiujiu and Yun Yiyi experience some hardships together can help improve their relationship."
Feng Yu Die nodded, then took a deep breath, stood up straight, and shouted, "Alright, I got it!!!"
"..."
Ye Anping was startled by her loud voice. Before he could recover from the shock, Pei Lianxue quickly responded with an even louder voice. "Alright!!!!!"
"Hiss--" Ye Anping took a deep breath and looked up at the night owl, stirred by the yelling. Half helpless and half weary, he said, "It's a good thing to be energetic normally, but we are now working secretly; do you want to attract the patrols over here?"
"Oh..."
"Oops-- hehe--"
"Alright, let's go back for now. The next meeting will be scheduled for the night after Yun Jiujiu is kidnapped, at the same place."
"Okay~" Feng Yu Die nodded, then looked at Pei Lianxue and asked, "Sister Pei, do you want to kiss me?"
?
Pei Lianxue looked at her with a frown. "No."
Feng Yu Die tapped her lips and leaned over. "Huh? Why? I specially put some honey on my lips when I came here. It's sweet. Try it. It's definitely better than Young Master Ye's kiss."
Pei Lianxue stepped back with a disgusted face and waved. "No!"
"Oh, come on, just give it a try. It doesn't cost any spirit stones, and you won't lose anything if you try."
Pei Lianxue clenched her fist. "No!!"
Ye Anping watched from the side for a while with blue veins popping on his forehead. He reached out and pulled Feng Yu Die's hair.
"Hey?!"
Feng Yu Die turned to look but was met with Ye Anping's purple eyes filled with killing intent, staring at her intensely. He said flatly, "Go... back..."
Feng Yu Die flinched, and she pitifully licked the honey on her lips, saying, "Oh..."
She pouted and reluctantly glanced at Pei Lianxue, but in the end, she relented and waved, saying, "Sister Pei, see you later."
After that, Feng Yu Die summoned her flying sword and soared into the sky. Her figure gradually merged into the starry night before disappearing
After she left, Ye Anping breathed a sigh of relief. Then, he also summoned his flying sword and stepped on it. "Sister, you should go back too."
"Oh..."
Pei Lianxue nodded with a disappointed expression on her face. She had waited for Feng Yu Die to leave so she could have another kissing session with her brother, but since he asked her to leave, she didn't say anything else and turned around, summoning her flying sword, ready to go.
However, just as she turned around, Ye Anping suddenly reached out and grabbed her shoulder, turning her back around. He gently lifted her chin with his right hand and closed his eyes as he pressed his lips against hers.
*Mwah~~~*
Their lips touched lightly before separating.
Pei Lianxue was stunned, and then a blush spread across her face. She didn't know why, but even though this kiss wasn't as strong as the previous few dozen, it felt more comforting than all those kisses combined.
Ye Anping smiled helplessly and said, "Sister, kissing is not something to be forced. Kisses are about form and meaning. Both form and meaning are indispensable. Only when there is heartfelt intention can it be considered a kiss. What you just did to me was called nibbling."
Pei Lianxue didn't quite understand and tilted her head. "Huh?"
Ye Anping caressed her cheek, smiling. "It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now. I will teach you later."
"Okay!"
At last, Ye Anping patted his sister's head, then jumped onto his flying sword and hurried back toward **Flowing Water Peak**.
The silver moon was shining above, and the cold wind was howling.
Ye Anping flew to the forest below **Flowing Water Peak** and observed for a while until the next patrol went away. Then, he flew up the mountain, carefully returning the same way.
By now, most of the lights inside the *Cloud Mansion* had already been turned off, and the servants patrolling the corridors had also returned to their rooms. Even the guards standing in front of the main gate were dozing off, holding onto their weapons.
Ye Anping cautiously sneaked along the road and soon arrived at his bedroom.
*Creak---*
He gently opened the door and entered the room.
However, just as he closed the door, a candle suddenly lit up in the room. A girl in white nightwear with flowing hair was sitting on a pearwood chair next to the bed as if she had been waiting for a long time.
Ye Anping was not at all flustered. He had anticipated being discovered sneaking out, so he acted surprised and asked, "Miss Yun, it's already this late. Why aren't you resting?"
