Chapter 227 A Pig That Loves to Eat the Grass Near Its Nest
Qi Yingxuan realized that things seemed to be going badly, so he decisively chose to shift the blame elsewhere.
"Strictly speaking, we can't be blamed for this; it was Master who forbade us to say it."
"Master?" Ye Wanxi was somewhat surprised. "Why didn't Master allow you to tell?"
"It's the old father's mentality. You know you were taken in by Master and raised from infancy to adulthood. Master has always treated you like his own daughter, but despite all his precautions, he still couldn't stop his eldest brother, this pig who loves to eat the grass near his own burrow. How could Master not be angry?"
Ye Wanxi: “…”
Does your senior brother know that you've been secretly cursing him as a pig? A pig that loves to eat the grass near its own nest!
Xiang Yueqi was at least a little more reliable than Qi Yingxuan. Even if he thought that way, he would at least give his master some face.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. Master told us not to talk about it because he thinks you're too young. You don't have the basic ability to discern whether your dependence on your eldest brother is romantic love or simply affection for a family member. He wanted you to grow up a bit more so you could judge for yourself and make your own decisions. He just didn't expect..."
Unexpectedly, before she could truly grow up, that incident happened. Everything she had planned lost the most important person in her life, and everything went out of control, becoming meaningless.
Ye Wanxi remained silent for a long time after hearing Xiang Yueqi's words, and then, with a slightly flushed face, she said shyly, "Second Senior Brother, do you mean that Master already knew about it, and that he agreed to me being with Eldest Senior Brother?"
Xiang Yueqi: "!!!"
No, no, no, he didn't say that! Judging from Master's attitude back then, he was clearly thinking about how to kill the pig without anyone noticing, how could he possibly agree to let the pig eat his cabbage?
Although this pig also belongs to our family.
But when she met her junior sister's expectant starry eyes, Xiang Yueqi's heart softened, and she immediately smiled like a doting mother and said, "Maybe...maybe."
Anyway, Master has already ascended to heaven, so he probably won't come down to the mortal realm to beat him up over such a trivial matter, right?
The master, who had completely lost his voice due to his ascension, was speechless: "..." These filial disciples!
Ye Wanxi's eyebrows curved into a smile, a hint of happiness in her eyes.
Ultimately, even if the two parties have a very good relationship, they will still hope to get the support of their parents, especially given her relationship with her senior brother and other fellow disciples.
The Dean and her master were the elders Ye Wanxi respected most in both her lives.
Unfortunately, the headmistress is no longer here, and my master has ascended to heaven. I don't know if I'll ever see him again in my lifetime.
Ye Wanxi thought she would never have the chance to receive their blessings in this lifetime, but she didn't expect that her master knew that her senior brother liked her in her previous life, and that he had tacitly approved of it.
Thinking of this, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but feel a little secretly pleased.
Qi Yingxuan rolled his eyes upon hearing Xiang Yueqi's words, then his expression changed slightly as if he had just remembered something: "You just said that your third senior brother told you about this? You've seen that dead fox? When?"
Ye Wanxi: “…”
Seriously, is your reaction time that slow?!
"Just a couple of days ago. Didn't I tell you I was going to attend an auction? You were worried I wouldn't have enough money, so you transferred some to me."
Xiang Yueqi immediately remembered and asked with concern, "Right, right, you said there was something you wanted at that auction. How did it go? Did you get it?"
Ye Wanxi didn't answer his question directly. Instead, she gave the two of them a long, meaningful look: "You two seem completely unsurprised that I was able to be discharged from the hospital a couple of days ago to attend the auction. Did you know I was just faking it?"
Xiang Yueqi and the other person froze, only then realizing that they had accidentally let something slip!
"Hahaha, it seems there is such a thing..."
Ye Wanxi narrowed her eyes, giving them no chance to fool her: "When did you find out? When you came to see me at the hospital that day?"
Feeling guilty under her gaze, Xiang Yueqi reached out and touched his nose, truthfully replying, "Even earlier."
“Earlier?”
"When you pass through the tribulation lightning of the nine heavens."
"Huh?"
"After you survived the tribulation lightning, the Heavenly Dao bestowed golden light, and the two of us unexpectedly gained something as well."
"What?"
Xiang Yueqi didn't speak, but simply raised his hand, and a small flame suddenly appeared at his fingertips.
Qi Yingxuan turned his face away and casually cast a soundproofing spell to cover the ward.
Ye Wanxi's eyes brightened slightly: "You..."
"Well, it's just like what you see."
Unlike Ye Wanxi, even though they regained their memories of their past lives, they were unable to continue cultivating as they had in their previous lives.
But things are different now. That day, when Ye Wanxi passed through the Nine Heavens Tribulation Lightning, countless golden lights suddenly fell from the sky.
As they had a deep karmic connection with Ye Wanxi, they unexpectedly received some blessings as a result.
"According to what you're saying, then does that mean Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother are also...?"
"Um."
No sooner had Xiang Yueqi finished speaking than Qi Yingxuan pinched Ye Wanxi's cheeks and said angrily, "You brat! You've got some nerve. You dare to casually reveal heavenly secrets. It's a good thing that in your past life... the Heavenly Dao of this place happened to favor you a little, otherwise you would have been cleaved into ashes long ago, you know?"
Ye Wanxi wasn't in much pain from his pinching, but she was a little incoherent when she spoke.
"I already put it very... very subtly. He figured it out himself, what does it have to do with me?"
"You're just being difficult!" Qi Yingxuan was amused by Ye Wanxi's self-righteous attempt to shift the blame. "If something else really happens, believe me, that bastard will go crazy again and drag this little world, where even cultivation is a pain, down with him."
Ye Wanxi was stunned. She didn't quite understand why Qi Yingxuan would say that, but she had a gut feeling that he wasn't joking. Her senior brother...
"I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again."
"Hmph!" Qi Yingxuan roughly pinched Ye Wanxi's cheeks before finally letting her go.
When she let go, Ye Wanxi's cheeks were flushed red, which looked quite shocking.
Ye Wanxi patted her cheek lightly and said in a muffled voice, "So, what Third Senior Brother said is true. You all clearly knew I was alright, and you knew this wasn't Eldest Senior Brother's fault. You even passionately insulted Eldest Senior Brother downstairs for a long time that day. It was all just settling a personal score, and it was all on purpose!"
Qi Yingxuan was surprised that Ye Wanxi would suddenly bring this up, and his expression stiffened slightly: "That damned fox still likes to meddle in other people's business."
"Hmm?" Ye Wanxi's eyes flashed with a sharp glare.
Qi Yingxuan felt a chill run down his spine and chuckled dryly, "How can you say it was intentional? I just knew you were trying to fool the others with my acting, so I deliberately cooperated with you. Look, if that guy hadn't reminded you, you would have been fooled by me, not to mention the others. It shows that my acting skills are pretty good, right?"
