Chapter 307 Young Master Jiang, Forever Overshadowed
Chen Xinyue turned her head and looked over. When she saw who it was, her eyes immediately showed a pleading look: "Third brother!"
Jiang Liushuang leaned against the door frame, her long red robe exuding elegance.
He smiled and said, "Xinyue, you're the kind of person who would stab someone in the back. Anyone who didn't know better would think you have a grudge against your older brother and are deliberately trying to sabotage him!"
Chen Xinyue: "?"
She was clearly praising someone!
Unfortunately, neither of the brothers offered her any answers.
Jiang Liushuang put her arm around her older brother's shoulder, and the two walked away amicably, muttering something to each other.
Unfortunately, despite being in the Martial Arts Alliance for so many years, Chen Xinyue had only developed decent lightness skills, with very little internal strength, and couldn't hear what the two were saying at all.
She stomped her feet in anger.
Unfortunately, neither of the brothers turned around to look at her, nor did they seem to want to comfort her.
Jiang Liushuang wanted to tell her older brother about Yu Zhiyi digging up bones next to the Heavenly Ladder, and she also briefly described the scene at the time.
Jiang Liuting frowned: "Is that so?"
He didn't believe in such supernatural and bizarre things, but many people had witnessed the event. Jiang Liushuang only heard secondhand information, yet it was still spread as if it were some kind of divine revelation.
While there may be some exaggeration involved, it is absolutely true.
Jiang Liushuang smiled and said, "Our second younger sister is quite capable."
Jiang Liuting: "..."
The sorrow that had faded away suddenly resurfaced.
Jiang Liuyi was already frustrating enough, but now Jiang Sijin has come along too.
And this girl seems to have a slightly sinister side.
Sensing his younger brother's desire to stir up trouble, he frowned: "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Liushuang said with a grin, "It's nothing, I just hope to see what my second sister is capable of."
Jiang Liuting was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.
Jiang Liushuang followed his gaze, a keen interest appearing in her fox-like eyes: "This is truly a case of 'speak of the devil, and he appears.'"
Yu Zhiyi was strolling on Mingshan Mountain.
They said they were taking a stroll, but they were actually investigating the shady dealings on the mountain.
Unexpectedly, she ran into the Jiang brothers, and nodded slightly in greeting: "Eldest brother, third brother."
Jiang Liuting nodded in response.
As the eldest son in his family, Jiang Liuting received the strictest education from a young age, and he is also a bit stern and doesn't smile much.
On the contrary, Jiang Liushuang's fox-like eyes showed undisguised interest: "I heard that Second Sister is proficient in metaphysics. Today, she not only eliminated evil spirits for our martial arts alliance, but also saved many people at Juxian Manor?"
Yu Zhiyi nodded blankly: "I wouldn't say I'm an expert, I just know a little bit about everything."
Jiang Liuting's expression grew even colder.
Yu Zhiyi felt confused, but then she saw Jiang Liushuang smile even more brightly: "Second sister's posture is just like second brother's. In the past, every time we had to take an exam, second brother would say that he was just so-so, but every time the results came out, he was always number one."
As Jiang Liuyi's peers, Jiang Liuting and Jiang Liushuang, these two unfortunate brothers, suffered greatly as a result.
Yu Zhiyi hadn't expected there to be such a reason. She touched her nose and said, "I'm not being modest. My master only taught me for a few years before leaving. I've been self-studying all these years, so I can only be considered average."
Although she had no expression on her face, the two brothers inexplicably sensed her sincerity.
Jiang Liuting's complexion improved.
Jiang Liushuang became even more curious: "Oh? What can you do, Second Sister? Are you like the fortune teller under the overpass, able to predict the future?"
Yu Zhiyi: "..."
Having witnessed the utterly ridiculous and nonsensical abilities of fortune tellers, Yu Zhiyi was speechless.
Jiang Liushuang smiled and said, "Why don't you tell my fortune?"
Yu Zhiyi refused with a blank face: "There are three things that don't count among us Xuanmen people, one of which is that kinship doesn't count."
His gaze swept across Jiang Liushuang's face, and he said indifferently, "However, although I cannot divine for you, Third Brother, I can estimate that your journey tomorrow will be very dangerous. It is best not to go out, otherwise, at best you will be seriously injured and fall into a coma, at worst you will die on the spot."
Jiang Liushuang raised an eyebrow: "Since we can't be considered related, how do you know I shouldn't go out tomorrow?"
Isn't this a contradiction?
Yu Zhiyi had never been interested in fortune telling for free; she only offered some advice because the other person was her father's nephew.
If the other party doesn't believe her, she won't bother with it anymore.
Anyway, my father has so many nephews, so losing one is fine.
Then there are still two left.
No longer wanting to waste time with these two, Yu Zhiyi took Li Rou and Nuan'er and continued strolling on the mountain.
She walked along, stopping frequently, her route seemingly unstructured, merely wandering aimlessly. Whenever she saw a beautiful view, she would stop to admire it.
On the mountainside, a pair of eyes watched her movements, their gazes filled with gloom and hatred.
Suddenly, Yu Zhiyi looked in that direction.
The people on the mountainside were startled and quickly ducked into the shadows.
After a long while, the man peeked out and saw that Yu Zhiyi had already taken Nuan'er and the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an to the next place.
It seems like I just glanced at it, only unintentionally in one direction.
"What kind of master of mystic arts is he? He's just a charlatan!"
By the time Yu Zhiyi had finished walking around the entire Mingshan Mountain, it was already completely dark.
As Yu Zhiyi was preparing to return to Liuyuan, the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an suddenly said, "Miss, I'm planning to go back to Juxianzhuang."
Yu Zhiyi knew he was planning to investigate the landslide and the assassination attempt, so she didn't stop him: "Go ahead."
Li Rou asked with some concern, "Miss, is there any danger?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Zhiyi looked at her and asked, "Are you very worried about him?"
Li Rou blushed, then her eyes dimmed as if she had thought of something: "He is the bright moon in the sky, while I am just a lowly maid. How can I have the right to worry about him?"
She said, "I just feel that since Juxian Manor is a den of dragons and tigers, it might be dangerous for him to go there rashly."
He paused for a moment and then added, "After all, he has a special status. If something happens to him while he's with Miss, it could cause her trouble."
Just as Yu Zhiyi was about to speak, Nuan'er suddenly asked, "What is that young master's identity?"
Li Rou paused, and Yu Zhiyi also looked at Nuan'er.
Feeling awkward under the gaze of two pairs of eyes, Nuan'er explained, "I was just... just curious. Wasn't that person just a guard?"
Yu Zhiyi looked at her for a while before nodding: "Yes, he is a guard, but his mother has some connection with me. If something happens to him, I will have a hard time explaining it to his mother."
Nuan'er responded with an "Oh".
Li Rou's brows were furrowed tightly.
However, she didn't say anything in front of Yu Zhiyi.
Having been by her mistress's side for several months, she was no longer the clueless, uneducated maid she once was. There was no need to make a scene in front of her mistress.
The group returned to Willow Garden, and before they even entered the archway, they heard humming and hawing sounds.
