"Hey, Brother Ye, stop pulling me! If you have anything to say, just stand and talk. Don't touch me!" Yan Miaoling had just returned from the academy when Ye Xiao grabbed her and dragged her...
Ye Xiao was dissatisfied. He stood still and flicked her head. "How many times have I told you that after we become sworn brothers, you should call me brother and remove the "Ye" character. Do you understand?"
Yan Miaoling released his grip and said, "But I have three brothers now. Are they all my brothers no longer good at mixing?"
"What? Where did you get three brothers? Who else?" Ye Xiao's eyes narrowed dangerously. He wasn't the only one. As the only son in the family, he had been raised alone and couldn't stand it. "Is that Bai Muchen the kid?"
After listening to the other two, Ye Xiao was speechless before praising them, "Yan Miaoling, you're quite capable! Forget about that money-grubbing Jin Xuhe, how could a young master from a noble family like Qingfeng Jiuyue even be related to you? Also, what on earth are you trying to do by hooking up with so many men?"
Yan Miaoling rolled her eyes, "Don't say such harsh words, please. Do you think I want to?" She thought to herself: I am doing this to prevent the emergence of people like you who are love-brained and mentally ill and will cost me my life!
Unfortunately, she couldn't speak directly, so she said succinctly, "I saved Master Feng's life, and to repay him...he agreed to recognize me as his sister. As for Jin Xuhe...you know, all my sister and I have invested in him, so it's not too much to recognize him as a relative!"
After much persuasion, Ye Xiao finally stopped being so hypocritical. He finally made the final decision, "I don't care where those wild brothers of yours came from. I'm the first one to become your sworn brother. You must call me brother, and only me! For everything else, you can add your last name in front."
Damn, it was just a small matter to be pulled into the corner. It really wasted her time. Her homework tonight was to embroider a flower. She really didn't have time to waste time here. "Okay, brother, it's all right now, I'm leaving now!"
"Wait! Come with me..."
A few minutes later, the two arrived at the secret room where Yan Miaoling was captured last time. Night Owl pointed to the empty space and said, "You must have misunderstood. I brought you here last time to introduce you to this place. You wanted to secretly store food, didn't you? I've observed this place for a long time. It's an abandoned secret room and no one has been here for a long time. It's absolutely fine for you to use it for a month or so."
Considering his good intentions, Yan Miaoling didn't bother to bother with this guy's brain damage. Who would knock someone out when introducing a place? That was simply bizarre. Smiling sweetly, she gave him a thumbs-up. "Well, not bad, my brother still cares about me!"
Turn around and walk away...
"Stop, I haven't finished talking yet. Why do you keep running?" Night Owl grabbed her back.
Yan Miaoling turned around and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything else?"
Night Owl walked to the corner and pulled out a chicken coop from under the rags.
Yan Miaoling covered her nose. No wonder she smelled chicken shit as soon as she came in. "Brother, what are you doing? Do you want to eat chicken? But I don't know how to kill it. The chefs have killed it before..." She thought that people were impressed by her cooking skills... and wanted to have a treat after dinner.
Night Owl slapped him on the forehead, "What are you thinking about? I want to teach you how to kill. I'm giving you these three chickens to practice!" He put the chicken cage aside and took out a dagger from his arms, "Here, this dagger is for you. Put it in your space and use it for self-defense in the future!"
"I have a space..." Yan Miaoling's first reaction was to refuse.
"Shut up! How can that piece of junk you have compare to mine? Mine is made of a hundred-year-old red iron by the Lu family. It can cut through iron like mud, and it's incredibly sharp! Take it, and get a feel for it in your hand first..."
Yan Miaoling looked at the red dagger that had been forced into her hand. With a twist of her wrist, she stabbed it back and forth, left and right. She gave a fair assessment, "Hmm, it's heavier than the average dagger. It must be quite a bit more expensive!"
Night Owl scoffed, "Tsk, you country bumpkin!" Uninformed, he didn't bother explaining further. He pulled out a chicken and said, "Watch this: killing requires swift, accurate, and ruthless execution. Killing with two strikes is unprofessional if you can kill with one... You could choose to slit the throat, like this..."
The night owl cut down with one knife, and the poor chicken made a clucking sound, and soon gave up struggling and closed its eyes...
"It could also be the heart. Just like that, stab it. Make sure you use force, otherwise you might miss your target and give the enemy a chance to feign death. Do you understand?"
Yan Miaoling nodded obediently, "I understand, brother..." She looked at the bloody chicken breast that was stabbed by Night Owl, "Brother, I like to eat chicken liver, can you please stop poking it? I understand, I really understand!"
He looked like a foodie, not paying attention at all. Night Owl gently covered his head with a slap and said, "Eat, eat, all you know is eat!"
Yan Miaoling shrank back in fear, "Brother, go on, I'm listening!"
Night Owl was clearly getting into the swing of things. He swung the bloody chicken in his hand over to the wall and began writing on it with the charcoal he'd prepared. "See? If you want to avoid getting splashed with blood, you should stand upwind from here. Don't just sit there and wait... Also, your one-size-fits-all approach from last time isn't a good idea! Not only is it laborious, but it might also get blood everywhere..."
The night owl's voice was clear and beautiful, but it still made Yan Miaoling lose focus and feel sleepy after a while...
Yawning continuously.
Ye Xiao saw through her and knew what she was like. He deliberately tempted her, "Ling'er, I see you're really short of money. I tell you, being a killer is very profitable. Especially since you have the cheating space..."
Yan Miaoling was indeed more energetic, with a blazing gaze. "Brother, is this really possible? I can be a killer, too? How much do you usually pay for killing someone? Do you charge by weight for tall, short, fat, or thin people?"
The silly words made Ye Xiao want to laugh. He tossed the dead chicken aside. He put something in his mouth and chewed it, signaling with his eyes, "Go, kill those two chickens in the coop first. If you kill them perfectly, I'll tell you..."
...
"Ah!" Yan Miaoling had a bad start. She was scratched by a chicken claw just after killing the first one, and blood immediately appeared on her wrist...
Night Owl rushed forward, crushed the chicken to death, and threw it aside. Then he took out a handkerchief and covered it with it, "How can you be so stupid? You can't even kill a chicken!"
Yan Miaoling wasn't that delicate, and didn't say a word despite the pain. She said suspiciously, "Brother, why do I remember that you have to tie the wings and feet first before killing a chicken..."
Ye Xiao took out some medicine powder and applied it to her, his expression serious. "When you kill someone, do you also need someone to tie them up for you? Do you think you're celebrating the New Year at home? There's strength in numbers, someone to tie, someone to carry, someone to kill, someone to retreat? If the bad guys come, you would have died eight hundred times by now! Can't you use your brain a little more? If the chicken struggles, why don't you just hold on tightly? Use your right hand quickly, find the throat and gently wipe it..."
His beautiful eyes caught sight of the red streak on her fair wrist, and he couldn't bear it. "Forget it, I won't practice today. Let's do it another day!"
"No, brother, I must successfully kill a chicken today. Otherwise I won't sleep!"
Idiot!
Night Owl stepped back, revealing the chicken coop. "Okay, okay, try me again!"
