The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix - Chapter 199 - A Delicate Noble Lady

After leaving the market, Ye Anping and Yun Yiyi flew back to Flowing Water Peak.

Ye Anping gazed at the towering stone sword sculpture on the Middle Peak of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, lost in thought.

Xue Xinghai’s appearance and the beheading of the Qi Refining stage disciple Yun Shulong were part of the plan. He had also expected Yun Xi to be the first to meet Xue Xinghai.

But Zhuang Yan’s appearance was not in his plan.

In the game, the battle in the market was a killing plot.

Xue Xinghai would flee after severely wounding the player, then block the player’s path as a mini-boss inside the Thousand Sword Pool at the end of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect event.

Ye Anping had planned to finish him off in the market, but he didn’t expect that just as he was stalling for time waiting for Pei Lianxue and Feng Yu Die to come out, Zhuang Yan suddenly rushed over to save the person.

Moreover, not only did Zhuang Yan rescue Xue Xinghai, but he even insisted that the murder case was closed.

In Yun Xi’s case, she kept asking questions and didn’t want to close the case, so she probably sensed that something was wrong and would continue to investigate.

However, on Yun Jiujiu and Yun Yiyi’s side, there were some problems.

Yun Jiujiu probably still didn’t understand what happened until now, so he could only ask Feng Yu Die for help. As for Yun Yiyi…

Ye Anping glanced sideways at Yun Yiyi who was flying on his right side, and saw her secretly looking at him. Being discovered, she naturally shifted her gaze away.

Such a high level of goodwill was also a problem.

Yun Yiyi was supposed to be a person who kept her wits at all times and analyze situations calmly.

The current situation had too many question marks. In theory, even if Zhuang Yan forcibly closed the case, she should continue to investigate secretly.

However, now, in Yun Yiyi’s eyes, there was no trace of wisdom, only two hearts could be seen in her pupils.

It was obvious that she was now focused entirely on him and no longer cared about the causes and consequences of the Sword Pavilion murder case.

He had to find a way to get Yun Yiyi’s mind back to this case, and Xue Xinghai also needed to be dealt with.

Out of the corner of her eye, Yun Yiyi caught a glimpse of Ye Anping staring at her. She was slightly panicked but did not show her emotions on her face, and she even took the initiative to ask, “Young Master Ye, you’re not being forced into anything, are you?”

“What do you mean, ‘I’m being forced’?”

“That sister of yours…” Yun Yiyi pursed her lips and asked, “Yun Xi said that you grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. Now that you are engaged to me, she won’t be happy…”

Ye Anping interrupted her. “I am engaged to you out of consideration of the two sects. As the Young Master of the Hundred Lotus Sect, matters of love and affection come after the inheritance of the sect.”

“But if you have a loving relationship with your younger sister, won’t I become the bad guy who breaks up a loving couple? Won’t you get tired of me?”

“Of course not, Miss Yun, rest assured.”

Hearing this, Yun Yiyi smiled and winked at him with her right eye. “Although I have only recently met you, I admit I have been smitten with you at first sight. If you have any requirements for your fiancée, just say it outright. For example… some special hobbies or something?”

?

Was Yun Yiyi such a person? Wasn’t she quite calm and reserved in the game?

Ye Anping froze for a moment and politely replied, “Miss Yun is joking. I don’t have any special hobbies.”

“Young Master Ye, don’t be so shy.” Yun Yiyi tilted her head with a smile. “Just tell me directly, I want to know you better. Don’t judge me by appearances… I’ve seen some strange scenes in books before.”

“…”

“For example… red candle bondage or something?” Yun Yiyi blushed and twirled her hair. “Um…”

??

Ye Anping raised an eyebrow, feeling slightly puzzled. Could it be that she was not Yun Yiyi but someone who had taken over her body due to changes in the world alignment?

Seeing Ye Anping frozen on the spot, Yun Yiyi suddenly realized what she had just said. Her lips moved slightly and she quickly found an excuse. “Err… Young Master Ye, please don’t get me wrong. My metaphor is a little exaggerated, but in fact, what I meant was that when you are with me, you can be more bold and speak your mind.”

“Oh…” Ye Anping nodded, then asked, “So… Miss Yun, you like red candle bondage stuff?”

“No, I…”

Yun Yiyi was screaming inside: Yun Yiyi, oh Yun Yiyi! Why did you say that? Even if you imagine yourself playing with Ye Anping, why did you have to say it out loud?! Why are you acting foolish for no reason?! What if Ye Anping is disgusted with those things, then wouldn’t he dislike you?!

Ye Anping shook his head and said, “Just kidding. Miss Yun, as a delicate lady of noble birth, how could you possibly like such weird things?”

“Well, of course I don’t like it.” Yun Yiyi replied with a calm expression. “However, if you like it, I might as well give it a try. Unmarried couples also need to cater to each other.”

“I don’t like it either.”

“What a pity…”

?

Ye Anping squinted his eyes. “What?”

“…Nothing.”

Yun Yiyi turned her head upright expressionlessly and looked ahead, but in her heart, she screamed again: Yun Yiyi!! Calm down!! You can’t lose your rationality just because he is handsome! Where is your usual composure? These things can be slowly adjusted after the wedding. Why are you saying it now?! What if Young Master Ye finds you disgusting and doesn’t want to marry anymore? What will you do then? Even a cooked duck can fly away!

“…”

Ye Anping was somewhat speechless as he looked at Yun Yiyi’s gentle and pure expression. He sighed in his heart — this was probably just the facade, right?

In the game, players’ impressions of Yun Yiyi were mostly “rich young lady”, “gentle and elegant”, and “talented girl”. As for her fan fiction, they all had themes like “bankrupt young lady, selling herself to pay off debts”.

As a result, underneath this noble appearance, she was actually such a person.

“Heh…” Ye Anping sighed and returned to the topic, asking, “Miss Yun, do you feel that something is wrong with the Sword Pavilion case?”

Surprised, Yun Yiyi turned her head to ask, “Do you think there’s a problem? But Elder Zhuang credited us for solving the case. Moreover, if there is a problem, Elder Zhuang can find out using the soul search technique, so we don’t need to worry about it.”

“That’s true, but…” Ye Anping hesitated for a while before saying, “Miss Yun, what I want to say might cross the line, so please don’t take offense.”

“Tell me.”

“I don’t trust that Elder Zhuang.”

Yun Yiyi frowned slightly. Seeing that Ye Anping’s eyes were serious, she hesitated before asking, “Oh? Do you have any basis for what you say…?”

“I feel that the timing of Elder Zhuang’s arrival is too coincidental.”

“Coincidental?”

“Yes. As far as I know, Elder Zhuang Yan has been in seclusion for the past hundred years and rarely interferes with sect affairs. He often even misses elder meetings. However, he suddenly rushed here today. If it were other elders, I wouldn’t think like this, but Elder Zhuang’s actions are really too conspicuous.”

Yun Yiyi frowned, holding her chin and thinking about it.

If Ye Anping hadn’t said it, she wouldn’t realized there was a problem.

Indeed, Zhuang Yan was the most reclusive among the elders of the Sword Sect.DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()/lbin(.)c/o/m

Most of the elders in the Moon Shadow Sword Sect took sides, either choosing to support her, Yun Jiujiu or Yun Xi. But Zhuang Yan seemed indifferent to everything as if he were solely focused on cultivation.

And yet, it was precisely this person who suddenly rushed over when today’s incident occurred.

After a while, Yun Yiyi raised her eyebrows and asked, “Young Master Ye, your accusation is not a trivial matter?”

“Yes, that’s why I have been hesitating whether or not to discuss this idea with you. This statement does indeed offend the Sword Sect, but…”

Ye Anping turned his head and stared into Yun Yiyi’s eyes, smiling as he said, “As the saying goes, good advice is often hard to swallow. In the future, I will assist you, the young sect master, in managing the Moon Shadow Sword Sect. Therefore, I have decided to caution you about it.”

Is he planning to be my henchman?

Yun Yiyi then said, “If there is a problem with Elder Zhuang, we cannot directly tell the other elders about it. We have to provide evidence.”

“Right, so what are you going to do, Miss Yun?”

“…All the clues now lie with Xue Xinghai.” Yun Yiyi murmured, then slowly stopped flying the sword under her feet and said, “Young Master Ye, can you accompany me to see Xue Xinghai again?”

“Well, of course I will. But we’d better find a Nascent Soul stage elder to accompany us.”

“Alright.”

With that, the two changed the direction of their flying swords and headed toward the Middle Peak.
