*Hooooo~~*
A sudden snowfall quickly covered the roof of the new mansion in **Night Tide Peak** with a foot-thick layer of white.
Two female disciples in the *Core Formation* stage stood dutifully outside the main house door, keeping watch vigilantly.
After Ye Anping visited Pei Lianxue and left at noon, Pei Lianxue informed them that she wanted to meditate and recover and instructed them not to enter the house under any circumstances.
The two naturally did as they were told, but something seemed rather strange. "Sister, there was such a big commotion in the back mountain just now, but Master Pei didn't say anything. What could be going on?"
"Master Pei asked us not to disturb her, so we won't. Besides, fellow disciples are patrolling the new mansion perimeter, and we are guarding the door at all times. What could happen?"
"But she has been resting for a long time. Even when the maid came to deliver medicine and knocked on the door, she did not respond... How about we go in and take a look?"
The two pondered for a while, then they knocked on the door.
*Knock-knock---*
"Master Pei, would you like some water or something to eat?"
"..."
There was no response from the room.
*Knock-knock---*
"Master Pei? The day is almost over; we're quite worried. If you're okay, just say something..."
---"...I'm fine, I just fell asleep. It's getting late. You two should go back and rest too."
Hearing Pei Lianxue's response, the two guards were relieved.
"Master Pei, have a good rest. We'll be guarding outside. If there is anything, just call us out." One of them replied before looking at the other. "I told you it's okay."
... ...
Meanwhile, inside the room.
Pei Lianxue, who had just climbed in through the back window, responded to the two people at the door, then clutched her chest and let out a breath. She looked at her brother beside her and said in a light voice, "Brother, they didn't discover us..."
"Yes..."
Ye Anping nodded slightly, but he felt uneasy in his heart. Now, he felt like a little thief who broke into a wealthy young lady's bedroom in the middle of the night and had a private meeting with her under the noses of two *Core Formation* cultivators.
He remembered how, this morning, when he came to visit his sister and talked about *"Erotic Pictures of Immortal Palace"* with her, she asked him: ---*"Then... can we do that again now...?"*
His answer at the time was: ---*"Tonight or tomorrow, we are going to rescue Yun Xi. Wait until we come back..."*
... ...
Now that the crisis had ended, it was only natural for him to fulfill his promise.
Of course, Ye Anping knew that "fulfilling his promise" was just an excuse he used to convince himself.
The fundamental reason why he was back with his sister now was actually summed up by the word 'lust'.
The sensible thing to do would have been for him to return to **Flowing Water Peak** and his sister to **Night Tide Peak** and wait a few days for everything to settle down before meeting again.
However, on the way back, he found himself looking forward to this situation. The melodious sounds of his sister from that night still lingered in his mind.
And he didn't know why, but...
"Feng Yu Die" method did not seem to be as effective in suppressing desire as before. Perhaps the "medicine" was overused and some kind of drug resistance developed.
But he should still thank the "Feng Yu Die" image; otherwise, most likely on the way back, he would simply find a cave to hide in with his sister...
"Well... I'll just sneak back to **Flowing Water Peak** later... It will not affect the overall situation..."
Ye Anping quietly murmured, glancing at his sister's white neck. A lot of saliva filled his mouth, causing him to swallow hard.
Pei Lianxue did not notice her brother's hungry wolf eyes.
Still wary of the two disciples guarding outside, she took off her cloak wet from the snow, and put it back in her storage bag. Then, she took off her hair tie, releasing her thick long hair from the ponytail.
She turned to look at her brother, but because there was no lighting in the room, she couldn't clearly see his expression. She just wondered why he stood there like a wooden man.
Then, she walked to him, reached out to untie his cloak, and whispered, "Brother, what's wrong? There's snow on your cloak. Why don't you take it off?"
"..."
Ye Anping's mouth was slightly open, but he didn't know what to say. He only felt that his breath was somewhat in disarray.
He looked at his sister's face and couldn't help but wonder, did she forget what he said at noon?
Then, should he bring it up or not?
If he took the initiative to bring up what happened at noon, his sister might feel that he was obsessed with her body, causing the imposing image he had established in her heart for more than ten years to instantly crumble.
What if she finds him annoying because of this?
Thinking of this, Ye Anping was startled, and he shook his head, feeling a little surprised.
---No, that's not good!
---When did he become so indecisive?
---His sister was his cultivation partner, and he was her cultivation partner now.
---What does the image matter...
Ye Anping was a little confused. This was probably the most chaotic state of mind he had been in in over ten years.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then put his arms around Pei Lianxue's waist, pulled her close to him, and buried his face into her hair, sniffing the light fragrance of gardenia.
Pei Lianxue was startled. In the past, it was always her who took the initiative to ask her brother for a hug, and only then would he hug her, but now, he suddenly took the initiative, and she was directly wrapped into his arms and he even buried his nose into her hair.
*Hoo~~Hoo~*...
She heard her brother's rapid breathing, and on her cheeks, she felt the gusts of hot air exhaled from his mouth and nose.
It tickled...
Pei Lianxue gradually relaxed her body, closed her eyes, and felt that when she was hugged by her brother, the sense of security was mixed with a feeling that she couldn't describe. Her heart trembled slightly, but it was not uncomfortable.
The small hands resting on Ye Anping's chest slowly clenched into fists.
Also at this moment, Pei Lianxue felt like something was pushing her and subconsciously thought it was her brother's sword. Then, she remembered that her brother always kept his sword in his storage bag, and even if he did carry a sword, it would be on his back rather than hanging from his waist.
She slowly braced herself against Ye Anping's chest and pushed her body a little bit before lowering her head to take a look.
"Brother... is there something wrong with your yang energy again?"
This question was asked without any insinuating thoughts as if she had no idea what it meant.
Ye Anping was slightly embarrassed and thought that afterward, he would have to find an opportunity to give his sister a more detailed explanation...
But that was for later.
Right now, he was still...
"Hmm..."
Ye Anping answered softly in her ear, lifted her in his arms, and gently carried her to the mahogany bed in the room...
*Rustle~*
*Squeak, squeak, squeak~~*
***Thud!!!***
A sudden loud noise startled Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue, who quickly held their breath and focused their attention. Turning their heads, they saw that the legs of the mahogany bed had broken...
The next moment, the voices of the two *Core Formation* stage cultivators came from outside the door. "Master Pei? What happened?! What's that noise?"
Pei Lianxue gulped and hurriedly replied, "It's nothing... just the bed collapsed."
?
Ye Anping, who was on top of her, froze on the spot when he heard her telling the truth, but he didn't dare make a sound.
---"The bed collapsed? Then, let's have someone bring in a new bed."
"No... it's okay... let's do it tomorrow. I can still sleep on it."
---"Alright then... Master Pei, why does your voice sound so strange... Is something wrong?"
"Haha-- Nothing's wrong!!" Pei Lianxue took a deep breath, looked at her brother who had stopped moving on top of her, then turned her head again and said toward the door, "It's getting late. You two should get some rest too."
---"Alright..."
Ye Anping glanced at the door and thought that his sister was really lucky to meet two Sword Sect disciples so easy to fool, who didn't even come in despite such a big commotion...
"Brother..."
"Hmm?"
Pei Lianxue wrapped her arms around Ye Anping's neck and smiled. "Kiss~"
"Oh..."
... ...
The night was not over, and the snow still hadn't stopped.
After Pei Lianxue fell asleep, Ye Anping took some clothes from her storage bag, dressed her, covered her with a quilt, and then took the opportunity to go out the back window. Under the cover of the wind, snow, and darkness of the night, as well as the jade pendant given by Si Xuanji, he secretly snuck out of the **Night Tide Peak**.
It was late at night now, probably past midnight. Inside the Sword Sect, it was quiet, and only the lights on the **Middle Peak** were constantly shining.
Ye Anping flew on his sword, letting the oncoming snow wash his face and, at the same time, cool down his brain and body, allowing him to recover from the recent entanglement with his sister.
To be honest, he still felt a little unfulfilled, and would have been good if he had a few more hours, but his sister couldn't bear it and fell asleep halfway through. Most likely, when she woke up tomorrow, her whole body would be so sore that she wouldn't be able to get out of bed again.
This was no small problem.
If every time after sexual intercourse, his sister couldn't get off the bed, then how would she get through the day?
Would he have to abstain all the time when he went somewhere?
---But could he abstain?
Ye Anping asked himself this question with a dark face, but then suddenly heaved a sigh and looked up at the sky.
"Hey -- let's not think about this for now... What matters now is how to escape."
Ye Anping pinched the bridge of his nose, changing his thoughts.
Currently, the Yun family's matter was over, but he still hadn't thought of any particularly good way to escape.
On Feng Yu Die's side, it was easy; she would just leave, and Yun Jiujiu would probably not say anything. At most, she would regret after a while not retaining her.
It should be easy for him to handle it too. He would just clear things up with Yun Yiyi, and she would let him go.
The problem lay with his sister.
She now owned Immortal Yun Jian's *Snow Jade Spirit Sword*. So even if Yun Yiyi let her go, the ***Moon Shadow Sword*** Sect's Elders definitely wouldn't agree.
After all, the sword was the inheritance of Immortal Yun Jian.
If she tried to leave, the Elders would surely demand that she leave the sword behind.
Furthermore, the fundamental reason Immortal Yun Jian handed the sword over to them was that he hoped they could revitalize the ***Moon Shadow Sword*** Sect, which was the same as recognizing him and Pei Lianxue as his adopted son and daughter.
Regardless of the situation, running away was a bad idea and would also cause big problems.
And it was not just the matter of escaping, there was also Xiao Tian's issue...
"Sigh--"
Ye Anping felt very tired and at a loss, pondering over these problems. He arrived at **Flowing Water Peak** without even realizing it.
After using the jade pendant given by Si Xuanji to sneak back into his house, he cleared his mind and prepared to have a good night's rest and think about what to do tomorrow.
After changing his clothes and tidying the house, he placed a few paintings on the desk, pretending that he had stayed in the house all day yesterday to paint. Then, he got into bed and closed his eyes.
