The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenixchapter 247: sister resorts to old tricks

Yun Xi and Yun Yiyi went to a quieter guest room at the back of the courtyard and sat down. Pei Lianxue sat between them, holding the branch with a serious expression on her face.

After Zhang Yihe served the tea, he closed the door and stood guard outside the room.

Yun Xi glanced sideways at Pei Lianxue beside her. Her butt was so sore now that she didn't dare to sit firmly on the chair. However, she didn't dare ask Pei Lianxue why she hit her. Instead, she flatly asked, "So, what do you want to say?"

Yun Yiyi was also sitting halfway on her sore butt and looked at Pei Lianxue warily. "It's about what happened a few days ago. Zhuang Yan is currently missing, so I came to ask you to come with me and our Second Sister to the **Thousand Sword Pool** and destroy Yun Kunwu's soul. This is Second Sister's idea. Although it may be a bit too blunt, it's not a bad idea..."

"Yun Kunwu?"

"Zhuang Yan's original target was Yun Kunwu. As long as he dies, all of Zhuang Yan's efforts will be in vain. When Father comes out of seclusion, we just need to inform him of this matter, and then Zhuang Yan will have nowhere to escape."

Yun Xi lowered her eyes and pondered before asking distrustfully, "Are you sure?"

"Yun Kunwu only has his divine soul left. No matter how high his cultivation level is, it will be easy for the three of us to destroy his soul. Besides, I will ask Elder Tianxing and Elder Wu to accompany us in, so even if there is an accident, they can protect us."

"Then, why don't you bring the Elders in yourself? Why have you come to me?"

"There are restrictions in the forbidden area, so we need the Elders to join forces to open a breach for us to enter. Breaking through our father's restrictions requires all three of us to go together; otherwise, the Elders would never agree. And if there are any unforeseen circumstances, all three of us should take responsibility together."

Yun Xi raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it just that you do not want to take responsibility alone? What? Afraid that our stinky old man will kick you out of the Sword Sect?"

"...This is an internal matter of the Yun family. I asked you just because Second Sister wants you to come with us." Yun Yiyi nodded, and her tone softened, "You have a better relationship with her, and she'll feel at ease with you around."

"Ugh~~"

When Yun Xi heard this, she got goosebumps all over her body and rubbed her arms. "Did you take the wrong medicine... Ah---hiss---?!"

*Smack---*

Unexpectedly, she was hit on the butt again and grimaced in pain, but looking at Pei Lianxue's frown, she didn't dare speak again. She planned to wait for Yun Yiyi to leave, then ask what was going on.

Yun Yiyi thought that Pei Lianxue had hit her out of personal revenge, but seeing this situation, it seemed like she really didn't want her to argue with Yun Xi.

In fact, on the way here, she expected to be driven away by Yun Xi, but she didn't expect Pei Lianxue to intervene in this matter.

Coincidentally, she also wanted to make peace with Yun Xi now, so she went with the flow and said, "Third Sister..."

"What?"

"If I apologize to you, can you move on, forget about our past relationship, and treat me as your sister?"

"Hiss---Yun Yiyi, you really took the wrong medicine today!"

*Pah-pah...*

Yun Xi was startled by Pei Lianxue's sudden attack and jumped up from her seat. Unable to hold back, she frowned and looked at Pei Lianxue. "Sister Pei, what's wrong with you today? Why..."

"Sisters shouldn't fight."

"Huh? But the relationship between me and Yun Yiyi has nothing to do with you! Why do you care about this?"

Pei Lianxue fell silent for a moment. She knew she couldn't mention that it was for the sake of her brother's plan. After a brief pause, she frowned. "If your relationship is bad, then..."

"Then?" Yun Xi asked, raising an eyebrow.

Pei Lianxue recalled her brother's plan. It seemed to mention something about them dying if their relationship turned sour, so she said, "... You'll have your butt spanked black and blue."

"..."

"Besides..." Pei Lianxue pondered for a moment before adding, "When they were kidnapped, you were very anxious. That shows you still care about them."

"I... When was I anxious?!" Yun Xi frowned and glanced at Yun Yiyi, defending herself. "I... I would rather they both die on **Jade Snow Peak**. With them gone, I can become the head of the Sword Sect."

"However, you brought Elder Hu to rescue them."

"What... What rescue? I wanted to collect their corpses... I only called Elder Hu to be my bodyguard."

Yun Yiyi immediately seized the opportunity. "Third Sister, I sincerely want to reconcile with you."

"..."

Yun Xi frowned, suddenly wondering if Sister Pei was a spy planted by her side; why else was she constantly exposing her shortcomings??

She truly hated Yun Yiyi and Yun Jiujiu, but she also knew that the bad relationship between the three of them mostly stemmed from their mothers and even more so from their stinky father. In fact, she didn't want them to die or something to happen to them.

Yun Xi glanced back and forth between Yun Yiyi and Pei Lianxue, then said with a slight click of her tongue. "Tsk, okay, okay. For Sister Pei's sake, the three of us won't have to compete for the position of sect leader anymore. This position belongs to Sister Pei now."

"Um..."

"But let me be clear, if you dare to pull the same tricks on me again, I won't just give you a dirty look next time, but I will directly draw my sword."

"... Of course."

Yun Yiyi nodded in agreement and glanced at Pei Lianxue.

She had never expected that Pei Lianxue would actually speak up for her. She had never talked to her before. She had only met her once and thought she was quite difficult to get close to.

But now it seemed she was quite easy to talk to.

After some consideration, Yun Yiyi mentioned, "Sister Pei, Young Master Ye is your older brother, right? I heard him mention that you grew up together."

Pei Lianxue blinked, instantly alert, and gave a small nod. "Um..."

"So, I want to talk to you about him..."

Pei Lianxue made a decision on the spot and said, "He's a bad person."

?

?

Instantly, a question mark rose above the heads of the two sisters.

Pei Lianxue continued, "He likes hitting girls, feeding them poisonous insects, and he especially enjoys breaking girls' bones. He's a very bad person."

Yun Yiyi couldn't find her words for a long time before finally asking, "But... didn't you say last time that you didn't want him to marry me and wanted to marry him yourself?"

"Uh..." Pei Lianxue paused, then said expressionlessly, "I like being beaten by him, eating bugs, and having my bones broken."

?

Yun Xi blinked when she heard this, and all she could say was, "Huh?"

Yun Yiyi's expression was not much different.

Perhaps due to Pei Lianxue's poker-faced serious expression, Yun Yiyi felt what she said was true. However, she still wanted to confirm. "For real?"

"Yes, all the disciples in the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect know." Pei Lianxue grabbed her sleeve and stared at Yun Yiyi's face, adding, "If you don't believe me, go there and ask them."

"But he is very polite. In the half month we spent together, he didn't do anything strange..."

Pei Lianxue cut in decisively. "He is deceiving you."

"Ah, really?"

Yun Yiyi lowered her eyes and remembered her time with Ye Anping. She had indeed felt that he was hiding something, but she assumed that he was hiding his feelings for Pei Lianxue. But now...

Seeing that Yun Yiyi believed her, Pei Lianxue nodded exaggeratedly. "Well, that's how it is."

Yun Xi did not intervene in their discussion at first, but when they mentioned this matter, she quickly spoke. "Well... As a matter of fact, Young Master Ye is also from the Yun family. He is our old man's illegitimate child."

Yun Yiyi turned to look at her again, with a puzzled look on her face. "What?"

"Didn't I tell you before? You didn't believe it then, but now that we have reconciled, you should believe it, right?" Yun Xi sighed. "Sister Pei is also from our Yun family. She knows the *Leaf Shadow Sword* technique and even received our grandfather's inheritance. So, you two shouldn't think about him anymore; he is our younger brother."

?

?

One of the question marks shifted above Pei Lianxue's head.

"Eh?"

Yun Xi paused and corrected herself. "To Sister Pei, he is an elder brother, and to you, Yiyi, he is a younger brother."

Pei Lianxue fell silent for a moment, then quickly nodded at Yun Yiyi. "Oh! Yes, yes, yes... that's how it is."

?

The question mark immediately moved back above Yun Xi's head: *Sister Pei, you know that, and still want to marry him?*

Only Yun Yiyi, had a question mark over her head the entire time, and was now even more confused; what the hell was going on?

Ye Anping was her younger brother? And he was rough with girls?

Wow... How exciting.
