Lan Ying: "Shut up!"

The moment he opened his mouth, her illusions shattered.

Li Bate immediately made a zipping motion with his mouth and gave her a fawning smile.

It looks ridiculous.

Lan Ying felt even more pain in her eyes when she saw it.

Bai Bai has a face similar to that person, but his demeanor is so sleazy.

If Li Bate knew what she was thinking, he might just shut up on the spot.

He's been popular with girls since he was a child, and no one has ever called him sleazy!

Lan Ying came up behind Li Bate, slipped her hands under his armpits, and brought them to his chest.

Li Bate screamed inwardly, "Help! I don't want incest!"

Although he was separated from this great-aunt by countless generations, the thought that she was from his ancestor's generation still sent chills down his spine.

Lan Ying didn't care what he thought.

She wanted to press her face against his back, imagining herself back in that scene from her memory.

Then, standing on tiptoe, its fangs protruded from the corners of its mouth, about to embed themselves into his neck—

"Clang!"

A resounding, clanging melody, like the clanging of swords and the thunder of horses, suddenly rang out.

Lan Ying was so startled that her head spun for a moment. After regaining her balance, she said to Li Bate, "You stay here and don't wander around. I'll go check on things."

She just left him there.

In the study.

A zither hangs on the wall.

Xuan Tu's fingers plucked the strings of the zither.

The clear, resonant sound of the zither just now came from his fingertips.

The moment Lan Ying opened the door and saw Xuan Tu, her expression changed.

"Lord City Lord, you're so busy, how come you have time to come here?"

Xuan Tu turned around and said, "A secret realm is about to emerge at sea. When that happens, people from the aristocratic alliance will definitely flock to it. Your people can then play a role."

Lan Ying closed the door behind her. "How did you know?"

Xuan Tu: "You don't need to worry about that."

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

Just then, a familiar voice came from below: "Open the door! Guards are searching for fugitives!"

Outside the ornate iron gate, Xin Sui pounded on the door, pretending to be a patrolman without batting an eye.

Inspired by this, He Qianjiao also started banging on the door and shouting loudly.

"Hurry up! If you don't open the door, you'll be charged with obstructing official business!"

Li Bate, who was wandering around in the dressing room, heard the shouts outside and hurriedly ran to the window to take a look.

He immediately spotted He Qianjiao's two conspicuous green high ponytails and knew that she must have come to rescue him, so he jumped out of the window.

As a superhuman, even if they are not a body enhancement type, their physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people.

Jumping from the second floor is no big deal.

"Little Jiaojiao, you—"

Li Bate ran over excitedly.

He Qianjiao tried her best to wink at him, her eyes almost twitching.

Li Bate realized what was happening and quickly swallowed the rest of his words.

He cautiously turned around and glanced up, praying that Lan Ying hadn't heard him.

Quickly open the courtyard gate and let the two in.

"Please come in, sirs." He put on a very convincing act.

Then she whispered to He Qianjiao, "Little Jiaojiao, who is this?"

He Qianjiao chuckled, "You don't even recognize your own sister?"

Li Bate stared at Xin Sui, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets in shock.

In his memory, his sister was a little girl with a shaved head and honey-colored skin.

The woman before him, however, had thick hair and fair skin, quite different from the sister he remembered.

However, upon closer inspection, one can still find traces of her younger sister in her face.

He's only been away from home for a little over a year, and his sister has changed so much!

"You...are you really Sherry?"

Li Bate still couldn't quite recognize him.

Since Xin Sui has taken over Li Xueli's identity, she naturally has to take over her social connections as well.

Based on her memory of how Li Xueli interacted with her brother Li Bate, she stomped her foot and said reproachfully:

"Libat, it's heartbreaking that you don't even recognize your own sister!"

"I don't care, you have to buy me at least three new outfits to get my forgiveness, otherwise don't even think about me calling you."

That domineering and unreasonable tone was both damn familiar and damn endearing.

Li Bate opened his arms and gave Xin Sui a bear hug.

"Girls change a lot as they grow up. I never expected you to become so beautiful."

"Brother, you have bad eyesight. I apologize. I'll buy you new clothes as soon as we leave here."

Lan Ying leaned against the second-floor railing, watching the family reunion scene below with a leisurely air.

"Weren't you here to hunt down a fugitive? Why are you suddenly claiming kinship with him?"

Li Bate whispered in Xin Sui's ear, "I know you two are pretending to be patrolmen to rescue me. Listen to your brother, let's go."

"That woman is not someone to be trifled with. I'll be fine for now, so you don't need to worry about me."

He pushed Xin Sui outwards.

I wanted to push her out of the yard.

He Qianjiao watched as he focused solely on his younger sister, completely ignoring her, his little friend, and felt a sour taste in her mouth, as if she had eaten a mutated lemon.

He said irritably, "You're just showing off. You've been arrested and brought here, do you think you'll get away with it?"

Li Bate wanted to say something, but Xin Sui stopped him with a look.

She gave him a reassuring smile, looked up at Lan Ying on the second-floor balcony, and waved a warrant at her.

"Madam, we are indeed here to apprehend a fugitive, but we never expected to run into my brother here. Isn't that a coincidence?"

“According to my brother, he was arrested and brought here by you. Please come with us to the patrol bureau to explain the situation.”
