Seeing Yun Xi's current state, Ye Anping felt sorry for her. He had expected her to be injured, but this situation looked really scary.
Out of good intentions, he stepped forward and asked, "Third Miss, your injury..."
Zhang Yihe, who was pushing Yun Xi's wheelchair, waved his hand. "Hey, Master Ye, don't worry. Third Miss just suffered a superficial injury. It's nothing more than some broken bones, disfigurement, and so on. Third Miss is used to it."
?
Yun Xi moved her fingers, motioning Zhang Yihe to lower his head, and said a few words in a mosquito-like voice.
Zhang Yihe nodded and conveyed to Ye Anping with a smile. "Young Master Ye, Third Miss will not meet her ancestors yet."
Hearing what Zhang Yihe said, Ye Anping felt a little relieved. Some broken bones or a disfigured face was no problem for a cultivator. Not to mention, Yun Xi was still the Third Young Lady of the ***Moon Shadow Sword*** Sect, so there would be no shortage of pills, and she should be back to normal after a while.
"Then, I wish you a speedy recovery, Third Lady. I'll take my leave now."
After cupping his hands again, Ye Anping sidestepped the two and walked along the courtyard. But after only three steps, Zhang Yihe suddenly stopped him again. "Young Master Ye, Third Miss said thank you."
Ye Anping stopped, not understanding why Yun Xi would thank him. He turned and said in confusion, "Why are you thanking me? I didn't do anything..."
Zhang Yihe leaned to Yun Xi and listened for a while, then conveyed again. "Third Miss said it's for what happened at the ***Dragon House*** last year. She always wanted to find a chance to thank you. If you hadn't saved her at that time, she and this bastard next to her would have died at the hands of the demonic cultivator."
Ye Anping looked at Zhang Yihe who was smiling and nodded. "...You're welcome."
Zhang Yihe leaned down to listen again before saying, "Third Miss also said that although you won't believe her now, you are her biological brother, Pei Lianxue is her biological sister, and Yun Yiyi is also your sister..."
Ye Anping grimaced. He had just handed Yun Yiyi the two original sword manuals, the *Interrogation Sword* and the *Leaf Shadow Sword*, that he had obtained, so he didn't explain anything further but just cupped his hands. "Third Miss, when you go inside and see the Eldest Lady, she will explain everything to you."
Without waiting for Yun Xi's response, Ye Anping walked out of the courtyard gate. He went back to his bedroom to pack his bags and get ready to leave.
... ...
The next day, the sky was clear and cloudless.
A rare winter sunny day warmed up the temperature quite a bit.
In the back garden of the *Cloud Wine Mansion*, Feng Yu Die held a blunt iron sword in her hand and practiced the *Nine Heavenly Sword* technique with full concentration.
After Yun Jiujiu discovered she was actually a woman, she didn't bother to wear the scholar's outfit from Ye Anping anymore and changed back to a simple black robe.
Beads of sweat dripped as the sword wind gusted.
The long silver hair, shining brightly in the sun, danced with her movements.
*Swish---*
After swinging the sword for the last time, Feng Yu Die let out a breath, held the sword behind her arm, covered her forehead, and looked at the cloudless blue sky. She then looked left and right, and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Tian, how was my practice?"
"..."
No one answered her.
Feng Yu Die lightly bit her lips, pondered for a while, then said, "Xiao Tian, I miss Young Master Ye. Do you know where he is?"
"..."
Still, no one answered.
There was only the sound of the breeze blowing through the tree branches, and when Xiao Tian still didn't respond to her, Feng Yu Die pouted. As if she could not stand it, she started shouting, "Xiao Tian!! Come out quickly!!"
Feng Yu Die remembered that when she used the Holy Emperor Dragon Body to cooperate with Sword Sect Elder Hu to capture Zhuang Yan, Xiao Tian was still with her, but after she woke up yesterday, she had disappeared.
Normally, when Xiao Tian disappeared, she would be sleeping or resting in her soul realm, but after waking up yesterday, she felt empty in her heart, as if a piece of her was missing.
"Sniff---" Feng Yu Die frowned lightly and sniffled. "Xiao Tian, stop playing, okay? Come out now... I'm going to cry."
"..."
"I'm really going to cry! If you don't come out, I won't talk to you anymore!"
Two bean-sized tears seeped out from Feng Yu Die's eyes as she hugged her sword and directly squatted down on the garden lawn, burying her face in her thighs and sobbing.
*Sob sob~~*
*Click-clack~~*
From behind her came the sound of wooden clogs clattering on the ground.
Yun Jiujiu, wearing her favorite golden coat and shorts, walked in her little wooden clogs and stopped behind Feng Yu Die. She hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, "Liar, what are you doing here?"
Feng Yu Die turned and looked at her with red eyes. "What do you care?"
"Hiss---" Yun Jiujiu took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and cursed. "You're fucking living in my house and eating my roasted chicken. You lied to me, and I didn't even kick you out, and you still ask what do I care?! Why are you like that?"
"..."
"Urrgghh, it's so annoying!! I don't know how to comfort people." Yun Jiujiu pouted and simply squatted next to her, patting her back gently. "Stop crying!! Don't fucking cry!"
"Wooo..."
"I told you to stop crying!! Did you hear that?! If you cry again, I will beat you up!!"
"You can't beat me... sob--" Feng Yu Die raised her head, watching her aggrievedly while sniffling. "Don't bother me. Just go and do what you have to do."
Yun Jiujiu pouted. When Feng Yu was not yet Feng Yu Die, she and 'he' had fought, let's not say a hundred times, but at least fifty times, and she really hadn't won even once. After hesitating for a while, she pulled out a roasted chicken from behind her. "Here, eat your favorite roast chicken and stop crying."
Smelling the aroma of the sauce, Feng Yu Die moved her nose and simply sat down on the lawn, snatching the roasted chicken and urgently stuffing it into her mouth.
*Nom, nom, nom~~*
Yun Jiujiu looked at her, speechless, but also sat down on the ground. "Where are you going from here?"
"Back."
"Back where?"
"***Black Star*** Sect."
"Huh?" Yun Jiujiu was stunned before asking, "Are you a disciple of the ***Black Star*** Sect? No wonder you are so powerful..."
"Why do you ask this?"
"Then, at least let me know where I can find you in the future..." Yun Jiujiu looked away, her face a little red. She hesitated for a while, then pulled off the wine gourd on her belt and took a sip. "Ha -- there are only a few people in the world that I acknowledge, and you are one of them."
"There are plenty of people who can beat you, so what's the value of your acknowledgment?"
"You can't say that! You were the only person I wanted to marry in all these years, did you know that?"
"Sorry, I have a sweetheart."
"What?" Yun Jiujiu was stunned. "Who is it? Tell me..."
"Sister Pei."
Yun Jiujiu frowned. "That girl who followed Yun Xi?"
"Yes, Sister Pei is so bold and awesome, and she even saved my life before!" Feng Yu Die wiped the grease around her mouth with her sleeve and looked up to the sky. "Sister Pei is so cool."
"Hiss--- but isn't she a girl?"
"So what if she is a girl? Can't a girl like a girl? A girl is much better than those smelly men. My master said so."
"Then... how are you two going to have a baby? Neither of you has a 'bird'."
Feng Yu Die was stunned for a moment, then recalled Ye Anping's crotch, and asked weakly, "Is it necessary to have a bird to give birth to a baby?"
"What do you think?"
"Can't you borrow a bird?"
?
Yun Jiujiu's brain circuits instantly froze. "Huh?!"
