Chapter 9

Jiang Mingyan gazed at the brilliant clouds in the sky with a calm expression.

He had already seen the Jiang family's malicious intentions, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it for a while.

He was unwilling to bow to the Jiang family, but could some things really be solved with just the three words "unwilling"?

Jiang Mingyan felt like a fly stuck in a quagmire. He was unwilling to give up and struggled hard, but he was still sinking deeper and deeper.

"Ah..." Seeing his brother remain silent for a long time, the cub in his arms couldn't help but stick his head out to look.

"Hehe..." He noticed his brother's depressed mood, so he leaned over and gave his brother a kiss covered with saliva, then stretched out his chubby arms to hug his brother's big head.

Jiang Mingyan buried his handsome face in the little guy's soft belly that smelled of milk, and couldn't help but suck on the cub like a cat.

These days, no matter how tired Jiang Mingyan was, he would clean the little guy every day. Sometimes, when the spiritual energy in his body was more abundant, he would even use a dust-removing technique.

At this moment, feeling the familiar sweet and soft smell of the little guy, his tense heartstrings relaxed temporarily.

The spirit stone can still hold out for a while, let’s wait and see.

He also has Sui Sui.

Jiang Mingyan felt a sense of relief in his heart.

——Fortunately, he still has Sui Sui.

Otherwise, how could he hold on?

After a long time, he moved his head and signaled the little fat boy to let go.

The little fat boy received the message from his brother and let go obediently.

When Jiang Mingyan looked up, he saw the little fat boy staring at him with frowned eyebrows, his face serious, as if asking if he was feeling better.

Suddenly, his heart felt as if it was gently placed in warm water, and it became even softer.

He stood up and walked into the yard, picked up the little fat baby in his arms, and shook him left and right.

“Hahahaha…” The little fat boy was not scared. Instead, his round eyes were shining, as if containing two bright stars. The little fat boy’s face was bright and he was very happy.

"Ah~" When Jiang Mingyan took him back to his arms, the little fat boy was still not satisfied and pestered his brother to do it again: "Hehe! Hehe..."

"No more playing." Jiang Mingyan let the little guy's furry head rub against his arms, refusing to let go: "You can't act like a spoiled child, brother has to go cook for Sui Sui."

The little guy felt his brother's determination and started to behave himself, babbling. But he obviously hadn't given up yet. He stepped on Jiang Mingyan's arm with his chubby feet, and his little face was pouting, looking as if he was deep in thought. No one knew what he was up to.

Jiang Mingyan curled his lips, waiting to see what other cute expressions the little guy could make.

But before the little guy could figure out what to do, the gate collapsed to the ground with a loud bang, sending up a cloud of dust.

Jiang Mingyan blocked the dust for the cub in his arms, frowned, and looked coldly at the group of people behind the flying dust.

They are all acquaintances.

A few days ago, he killed Jiang Ruke, the owner of the spiritual beast Bamboo Green Black Snake, and his lackeys.

When the dust settled, Jiang Ruke couldn't wait to step on the collapsed gate and walk into the courtyard. He looked around and said with regret: "Those servants were too lenient. This is quite good. It can still be lived in."

He walked around the yard as if no one was around, kicked away the low stool for youngsters that was less than calf-high and placed beside the peach tree, and then looked at Jiang Mingyan, whose handsome face was cold and handsome, with a look of superiority mixed with strong malice: "Our Jiang family genius is quite powerful. He has been holding on for so long, and he hasn't even gone to the main courtyard to beg for mercy yet?"

"I heard you want to find a job in Wu'an City?"

"How could our Jiang family genius do such a thing? In order to prevent you from going astray, I specially sent people to inform all the shops."

“No one will use you.”

He then burst into laughter. "No need to thank me. This is just an appetizer. How can I let you enjoy yourself if you dare to kill my bamboo green snake?"

Before Jiang Ruke finished speaking, the Jiang family members who were flattering him also spoke up, and the quiet courtyard was suddenly filled with harsh ridicule.

Jiang Mingyan said nothing, turning a deaf ear to all their ridicule. He just lowered his eyes and carefully held the little guy in his arms.

He remained indifferent, but the little guy, who had hardly ever seen such a scene, opened his dark eyes wide.

What were they talking about? Would they just walk away like last time? Why did they kick Sui Sui's stool away?

That's the little stool that Dad made for Sui Sui!

I love it every year!

The little guy was almost about to babble and complain, but his brother held him without moving or saying anything. So the little guy hesitated for a while, and finally pouted and said nothing.

But Jiang Ruke noticed the little cat-like creature in Jiang Mingyan's arms.

He narrowed his eyes, and a hint of viciousness flashed in them.

Doesn’t Jiang Mingyan value his younger brother the most?

I heard that there is an old man in the west of Wu'an City who likes such soft and tender little babies.

What expression will Jiang Mingyan show if I send this brat over?

With all kinds of sinister plans in his mind, Jiang Ruke reached out to pinch the kid's face.

Jiang Mingyan's eyes sharpened and he took a step back to avoid Jiang Ruke's hand.

His hand fell empty, and Jiang Ruke's face immediately turned bad.

Today, when they broke in, no matter how they mocked and ridiculed Jiang Mingyan, he remained silent. This gave Jiang Ruke the illusion that Jiang Mingyan had suffered enough these days, learned his lesson, and become soft-hearted. He didn't expect that he just wanted to pinch the little brat's face, but Jiang Mingyan dared to hide.

Suddenly, Jiang Ruke felt that he had been humiliated. The younger brothers behind him were whispering about him, and anger was burning in his heart.

"Why are you hiding? Where else can you hide?" He coldly ordered the servants behind him: "Hold him down."

Perhaps because he had learned from his last lesson, all the servants Jiang Ruke brought with him this time were tall adult men.

The way they stood made the courtyard seem very cramped, and now that they were rushing towards him together, it was difficult for Jiang Mingyan to hide.

But even so, he still protected the cub in his arms well, and would rather take a few hits than dodge the fists in a way that might expose the little guy to the outside.

Jiang Mingyan was busy dodging and waiting for an opportunity to fight back. The Jiang family members were gloating as they waited for Jiang Mingyan to be pushed to the ground by the servants, so no one noticed the abnormality of the little cub in Jiang Mingyan's arms.

The chaotic scene in front of him was reflected in Jiang Suiyan's clear and bright black round eyes.

He saw the look of satisfaction on the face of the slightly fat young man in the lead.

He saw those Jiang family members taking advantage of others' misfortune, their mouths opening and closing, and every word was so harsh.

He saw the bruises at the corners of his brother's eyes and the sweat dripping from his brother's forehead.

The shadows of people swayed and the pages of books rustled.

Countless tiny handwritings swirled around, outlining a dim shadow.

Jiang Sui Yan moved his lips, but his dry throat couldn't make a sound.

He seemed to understand something. The storms that had been blocked out by his brother these days finally broke through the barriers and wet the corners of his clothes.

My father and mother went to a very far place. They went to the world of the dead. From then on, they were separated by the Yin and Yang and would never see each other again in this life.

He understood the sarcasm and ridicule, and saw the Jiang family's undisguised malice.

But he still seemed to understand nothing, still that ignorant little cub living under the wings of his brother, innocent and fragile.

There was a tingling pain in the forehead, and a warm current meandered out from the abdomen, traveling through the limbs and bones. After lingering in the forehead for a long time, it returned to the dantian below the navel along the meridians.

He had a strange, dominant connection with something.

Jiang Sui Yan stared blankly, the sounds around him were blurry and hazy.

But he still caught the clenched fist that was carrying a whistling wind.

elder brother……

Jiang Suiyan murmured: "Brother..."

Don't hurt my brother Sui Sui...

Sui Sui must protect his brother...

You are not allowed to hurt my brother!

How could you hurt my brother!!!

The violent power surged out, and the existence that was so close broke through the shackles and stretched its branches to its heart's content.

【Protect my brother.】

Jiang Sui Yan gave the order ignorantly but firmly.

The next moment, there was a sound of breaking air, and the dark brown branches with clusters of pink flowers were vigorous and powerful, hitting the fist fiercely, followed by the crisp sound of bones breaking.

"Ah——" The tall man who attacked collapsed to the ground, hunched over and wailing with his fists clenched.

No one can hurt my brother.

The little cub opened his pair of innocent black round eyes and thought quietly.

I will protect my brother.

Suisui will always protect her brother.
