Four-year-old Juanjuan was unloved by her father, ignored by her mother, and bullied by her older brothers. Left to shoulder the burden of a broken family all on her own.
Then one day, her pa...
Under the moonlight... in the shadows beside me.
Her soft little face was expressionless as she stared at her third brother, who was following behind her. Although he didn't speak, Bai Yun'an seemed to understand what his sister wanted to convey.
"Your brother is useless, so you have to take good care of him. That's why your brother has no choice but to follow you."
Without batting an eye or even breaking a sweat, Bai Yun'an calmly uttered those words.
Juanjuan: ?
Who's useless? Who is she supposed to take care of?
Did she really think she didn't know that her third brother was the only one in the family who could fight her to the death with her eldest brother?
You can't be too thin-skinned; you can't even handle this much pressure...
Juanjuan, having heard her third brother's thoughts: ...
The pressure is immense!
This is comparable to having the older sister from the Mu family stand beside her and watch her write while she does her homework.
So, Bai Yun'an noticed that his younger sister's walking posture was a bit strange.
Are they all walking with the same steps?
Curly realized that she had been walking a little strangely just now: ...
Her little face became even more expressionless. She gave up entirely, ignoring her third brother, and began to focus on "passing the level".
They moved nimbly through the Meng family compound, but since they hadn't brought a map, the children had to search one by one for the room where the head of the Meng family would be.
Juanjuan went to the study first, but couldn't find the head of the Meng family, so she turned around and went to the head of the Meng family's bedroom.
"He's not here either, let's go to the next room."
Bai Yun'an, who had been silent the whole way, suddenly spoke.
Juanjuan's small body trembled, her breathing rhythm was disrupted, and she turned to look at her third brother, her face filled with strong reproach.
She was completely focused; could Third Brother please not suddenly blurt out a sentence?
Bai Yun'an raised his hand and readily begged for forgiveness: "It was my fault."
I really didn't expect my third brother to apologize so directly.
Juanjuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's okay, just be careful next time..."
Bai Yun'an nodded and turned to leave with her sister.
He could feel his sister take a couple of steps with him, then stop, her gaze fixed on him, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
Bai Yun'an: ...
【here we go again. 】
Juanjuan: ? No, even if Third Brother guessed it, she still had to ask.
"Why did Third Brother tell me he wasn't here? I could have just gone over and checked."
Juanjuan now seriously suspects that her third brother is testing her, trying to make her understand the truth.
It's the kind of principle that tells you not to believe what others say, but to verify things for yourself.
There's no way around it, the feeling of checking "homework" tonight is just too overwhelming.
Looking at his "smart" younger sister, Bai Yun'an suddenly felt a little tired.
They were doing something adults should be doing inside that room. If a child saw it, he would probably ask questions, but he didn't want to answer.
Now, even telling the truth gets you suspected, sigh...
Juanjuan: ?
So they weren't testing her?
Should she find a way to back down now?
"If Third Brother is lying to you, Third Brother will be just like Big Brother, stepping in dog poop."
Juanjuan blinked: "Okay, let's go then."
Third Brother's oath was vicious enough, more than enough.
When Juanjuan found the head of the Meng family, her eldest and second brothers had already been waiting for her for a while.
Who would have thought that the head of the Meng family was not in his study or bedroom, but in the library?
"Come on, everyone's here. Let's see how Master will teach the Meng family a lesson."
As Bai Yunqi spoke, he didn't forget to pretend to throw the pot away.
What else can Juanjuan do but focus on teamwork?
The sword that the head of the Meng family had placed in his study hummed and soared into the air at that moment.
The sword seemed to be enveloped in moonlight as it pierced through the study window and flew out with a loud thud.
In any case, the guards patrolling the Meng family all saw it.
Juanjuan also saw it; in the black night sky, the sword hung high, surrounded by a shimmering light, as if it could slay all demons and monsters.
"The divine sword! The divine sword has manifested its power again!"
"As expected, the patriarch was chosen by the divine sword!"
"Oh my god! It's so beautiful!"
Juanjuan sat there, listening to the astonishment of the guards below.
The gasps of surprise quickly subsided.
Because the sword hanging high in the air suddenly stabbed towards the library.
An invisible sword aura shattered the locked door of the library, and the sharp sword tip lightly touched the throat of the Meng family head.
The deep, weathered voice pierced through the void and echoed from all directions.
“Those who are disloyal, unjust, and greedy shall be beheaded.”
Juanjuan couldn't help but marvel silently; her older brother really knew how to...pretend.
She had that kind of awesome, super awesome Fan Fan completely under her thumb.
Sweat beaded on the forehead of the Meng family head; he was extremely nervous.
"You all must not follow in the footsteps of the Tang family, do you understand?"
The head of the Meng family trembled uncontrollably: "I understand, I understand..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sword that had been hanging around his neck disappeared, leaving only a dazzling ray of light in the night.
Bai Yunqi clapped his hands: "Alright, let's go."
Juanjuan: ? ?
That's it?
She struggled and scrambled in, just to see a flying sword that she could see from outside?
