The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenixchapter 244: brother doesn't know what he did

As noon approached, the maids in the *Cloud Wine Mansion* lined up and prepared to go to the cafeteria for lunch.

But as they walked through the courtyard, they saw someone they never dared to imagine seeing here---

"El... Eldest Lady?!" The leading maid bowed in panic.

Yun Yiyi hadn't been to **Sword Wine Peak** for a long time, and the maids who were new to *Cloud Wine Mansion* didn't even know her. After the leading maid spoke, those behind her quickly moved aside and bowed as well.

Wearing a feathered dress, Yun Yiyi looked at them and asked, "I heard that my second sister has woken up. Where is she now?"

"Well... Sister Jiujiu just went to the back garden."

"Okay."

Yun Yiyi nodded in acknowledgment, then led Ye Anping past the group of maids and headed toward the back garden.

After the two of them walked away, the maids looked at their backs in disbelief and started talking. "Did I hear it wrong just now? The Eldest Lady actually called Sister Jiujiu 'second sister'?! Does the sun rise in the west now?"

"Hey~ Let's go, let's go. It's none of our business. Let's pretend we didn't see anything."

"Yeah... Let's go."

... ...

Slowly walking out into the courtyard alley, Yun Yiyi remembered the expression on the maid's face just now and felt a little helpless.

The poor relationship between her and Yun Jiujiu wasn't exactly a secret. Everyone in the sect knew that whenever they met, they would either argue or fight.

Yun Jiujiu couldn't win an argument against her, and she couldn't win a fight against Yun Jiujiu.

"Young Master Ye, do you think that when Second Sister sees me here, she will feel like I came to mock her? Maybe I shouldn't have come?"

After hearing that, Ye Anping was silent for a moment before answering, "Miss Yun, I am not sure what exactly happened that night, but I heard that Second Miss seemed to have risked her life to save you. Since she was willing to sacrifice herself for you, it proves that there is room for improving the relationship between you two. Moreover, considering her personality, she would definitely not take the initiative to approach you. If you want to reconcile with her, you have to take the first step."

"Hmm..." Yun Yiyi thought there was some truth in it and nodded in agreement. "She also mentioned that night that she intends to elope with that guy, Feng Yu..."

"Oh?"

"To be honest, I envy her a bit for being able to leave everything behind her." Yun Yiyi turned back to look at Ye Anping. "I even feel like doing the same thing; staying in the Sword Sect hasn't brought me anything good."

"You really think so?"

"Well." Yun Yiyi rolled her eyes. "If I weren't the Eldest Lady of the Yun family, Master Ye, you wouldn't have to marry into the Yun family as a son-in-law, but..."

If she weren't the Yun Family's Eldest Lady, would her marriage contract with Ye Anping still be valid?

The relationship between her and Ye Anping as an engaged couple was all established based on her identity as the Eldest Young Lady of the Yun family. If she were to give up this identity, she would be nothing but an average cultivator.

Would Ye Anping still accept her without this prestigious façade?

Yun Yiyi didn't say this out loud; she naturally knew the answer.

---He wouldn't.

---At least not now...

"But?" Ye Anping asked.

"Nothing."

Yun Yiyi shook her head, then gently took Ye Anping's hand and led him forward.

Beyond the moon-shaped gate in the backyard, unlike *Cloud Mansion*, the backyard of *Cloud Wine Mansion* was simply a garden with well-maintained fragrant flowers, no huge pond or pavilion.

After a few steps, Yun Yiyi suddenly found a plum tree hidden among a cluster of flowers that emitted a faint spiritual light.

Because it was midday, the radiance of the plum tree was not obvious, but even someone who didn't know anything about flowers would be able to tell that this plum tree was out of the ordinary.

"Young Master Ye, have you heard about this plum tree?"

Ye Anping stopped and observed it. At first glance, it looked like a plum tree that exuded spiritual energy. But if you looked closely, you could see the clusters of cherry-colored plum blossoms having both stamens and pistils.

It was beautiful, but Ye Anping had the feeling that this thing looked a bit like the product of a genetic mutation caused by radiation.

"I've heard that this is the *Mandarin Duck Spirit Plum*. Each flower has a stamen and a pistil, one male and one female. It is said that lovers who exchange vows under this flower will be together for three lifetimes."

"Master Ye's knowledge is indeed extensive." Yun Yiyi picked up a flower and examined it, saying, "This is the flower of our ***Moon Shadow Sword*** Sect. It can only be grown here."

"This is the first time I've heard of this."

Ye Anping casually replied, pretending not to know.

But in fact, how could he not know?

There was a cherry-colored plum blossom with both a stamen and a pistil tattooed on Yun Tianchong's forehead. He had a natural charm, and with the plum blossom tattoo on his brow, it kind of felt like there was no distinction between male and female features.

Yun Yiyi also remembered her old man.

No matter what was going on with Yun Kunwu, her stinky old man definitely couldn't escape responsibility. He didn't even tell her that Yun Kunwu was still alive.

She, Yun Jiujiu, and Yun Xi almost lost their lives because of Yun Kunwu.

It was mostly to take her anger out on someone, but they indeed suffered, so her stinky old man had to bear responsibility.

"Sigh---"

Yun Yiyi squeezed the plum blossom in her hand, casually threw it on the ground, and continued walking with Ye Anping for a while. Passing through the flowers, they arrived at a pavilion used for resting.

On the pavilion roof, the man named Feng Yu was basking in the sun, while her Second Sister was standing beneath the pavilion holding a kitchen knife behind her back.

?

A kitchen knife?

It was even a jade handle kitchen knife...

At this moment, Ye Anping also saw that kitchen knife, and just like Yun Yiyi, he stopped in his tracks, and a question mark appeared over his head.

What was this supposed to mean?

Point a kitchen knife at the other person and ask, "Will you marry me?"

He pinched his nose bridge, realizing that Feng Yu Die had probably triggered the "love letter incident". However, there was no kitchen knife in the game's "love letter incident".

She really lived up to her reputation.

Ye Anping didn't know whether he should disturb them or not, but while he hesitated, Yun Yiyi had already walked over there.

Right now, Yun Jiujiu had just taken out the kitchen knife and pointed it at Feng Yu Die's chest as she jumped down from the pavilion roof.

"Second Sister, what are you doing? Did you fight with him?"

Yun Yiyi walked over with a frown. Speechless, Ye Anping could only follow her along.

When she heard Yun Yiyi's voice, the shy look on Yun Jiujiu's face disappeared in an instant, and a row of veins popped up on her forehead. She turned around and cursed loudly. "Yun Yiyi, what the hell!!"

Yun Yiyi innocently asked, "What did I do?"

"Don't you see that I..." Yun Jiujiu looked back at Feng Yu Die standing there, then said, "What the hell are you doing here?! Get lost, go to your *Cloud Mansion*~"

"..."

Yun Yiyi didn't know how she offended her, so she pouted and said, "I came to visit you because you were seriously injured."

"Who wants you to visit?! You soft-legged shrimp!"

"..."

Seeing them arguing again, Ye Anping felt a bit annoyed. He had tried so hard to mend the relationship between these two people, but now...

At this moment, suddenly, he noticed the look Feng Yu Die gave him.

In her eyes, there was very obvious hostility.

?

Ye Anping frowned in confusion and asked with his eyes: *What's wrong?*

Feng Yu Die immediately rolled her eyes at him: *Huh~ You know very well!*

???

Ye Anping really had no idea what was going on in her mind. What did he do to upset her now?
