Ye Junfei's expression was icy: "They arrived very quickly!"
Lin Xiuyan looked down the mountain, her brows furrowing slightly: "Was it the old hag who did it?"
Flames raged down the mountain, and shouts of battle could be heard from a great distance.
Lin Xiuyan was extremely anxious, thinking of Ye Qingwan who was still down the mountain and the head of the village who had helped her find a fishing net earlier that day.
Although she didn't know what was happening down the mountain, such a large fire must have caused casualties.
After she finished speaking, she wanted to go down the mountain.
Ye Junfei pulled her back and said, "We're on our way now. The fire has already burned out down there. Don't worry, nothing serious will happen."
Lin Xiuyan turned her head and looked at him.
He raised an eyebrow slightly: "We've caused so much trouble in the Prince's mansion these past few days, it's bound to anger them."
“If we stay in the palace, they won’t have a chance to make a move.”
“Now that we’re in the village, they’re sure to make a move, so I’m prepared.”
"They acted today, which was faster than I expected."
He sneered as he said this: "They really can't wait to take my life."
Lin Xiuyan looked at him and said, "But even so, it's still dangerous that such a big fire has broken out in the manor!"
"Don't even mention the village head and the villagers; Qingwan is still inside!"
After she finished speaking, she shook off Ye Junfei's hand and used her lightness skill to rush downhill.
After such a big incident, she no longer had the mood to be affectionate with him.
Ye Junfei frowned slightly and followed her down the mountain.
It takes them about half an hour to go up the mountain, and they can come down in a little faster time, but it will still take about fifteen minutes.
By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, the midnight attack was already drawing to a close.
The fire in the main house was burning brightly, its intense flames illuminating the entire village.
The assassins who stormed into the manor were either killed or fled.
Because Ye Junfei was prepared, Wu Ge and his guards captured several more people.
Wu Ge was very experienced; he dislocated the jaws of those assassins, preventing them from seeking death.
When Lin Xiuyan arrived, she saw Wu Ge kick an assassin away, then rush to his side and twist his chin with both hands.
He twisted the object while cursing, "Damn it, you're pretty fast! I'll kill you!"
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
This Wu Ge was the same Wu Ge from her past life in her memory.
As soon as he saw Lin Xiuyan, he hurriedly greeted her, looking extremely obsequious.
Lin Xiuyan pursed her lips slightly upon seeing his expression and asked, "Where is the princess?"
Ye Qingwan stepped out from the side and said, "I'm here."
After she finished speaking, she said to Ye Junfei, "I knew it. The first thing Xiuyan will do after coming down the mountain is to find me."
"I won! All the colorful ropes that Xiuyan braided this afternoon are mine, you don't get a single one!"
Lin Xiuyan paused for a moment, then looked at Ye Qingwan and Ye Junfei with some suspicion.
Ye Junfei remained silent with a dark expression.
Ye Qingwan hugged Lin Xiuyan tightly and said, "I knew it. It's no wonder I've been so loving towards you all this time."
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
What the heck!
She reached out and pushed Ye Qingwan: "Get out of my way!"
Ye Qingwan hugged her tightly and wouldn't let go: "No, no, my brother can hug you, I want to hug him too!"
Seeing Ye Junfei's face darken, and then looking at Ye Qingwan who was practically clinging to her, Lin Xiuyan was utterly speechless.
Ye Junfei reached out and pressed Ye Qingwan's pressure points, pulling her off Lin Xiuyan and throwing her rudely to the ground.
Unable to move for a moment, Ye Qingwan said anxiously, "Ye Junfei, you can't use my victory to settle personal scores!"
"Xiuyan is willing to be close to me; that's my charm. You can't stop us from being together!"
Ye Junfei ignored her and said to Lin Xiuyan, "After she lost to you this afternoon, she felt very uncomfortable and came to me crying."
“She said she’s your own sister and you’re her sister-in-law, but you don’t give her any leeway and you’ve hurt her feelings.”
Lin Xiuyan: "..."
She knew Ye Qingwan was a drama queen, but she never imagined she was this dramatic.
Ye Qingwan sniffed and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's not true."
Ye Junfei continued, "Then she made a bet with me, saying that if the old hag's people came to kill us tonight, would you be the first one to go to her?"
"It turns out that you really do care about her, so she won."
After he finished speaking, he took out several colorful ropes from his pocket and threw them directly into Ye Qingwan's arms.
Ye Qingwan shouted, "Quickly release my pressure points!"
Ye Junfei ignored her.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyan knew that not only Ye Junfei had anticipated what would happen tonight, but Ye Qingwan had also guessed it.
The brother and sister had been fighting with the people of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion for a long time and were very familiar with their tactics.
Because they were so familiar with the area, they were not only prepared, but also killed most of the assassins. The whole process was very easy, like playing a game.
She also became the object of the bet between the brother and sister, and her feelings were somewhat complicated.
Lin Xiuyan looked at Ye Junfei and said, "Why didn't you explain things clearly on the mountain? You made me worry for nothing!"
Ye Junfei smiled and said, "Did you give me a chance to speak back then?"
"Do you still think that I didn't come down the mountain in time because I'm cold-hearted and treat human life like dirt?"
Lin Xiuyan was slightly embarrassed.
She had indeed thought about this when she came down the mountain, because the brutal memories of Ye Junfei that she had left in her heart were too deep.
Ye Junfei sighed and looked at Lin Xiuyan, saying, "You've hurt my feelings again. You have to comfort me."
Lin Xiuyan looked at him.
He said with a wronged look on his face, "You still owe me a purse from last time."
"The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, can you braid me a unique colorful rope?"
Lin Xiuyan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You two siblings have been using me as a tool for betting behind my back."
"I'm not angry and looking for you to settle scores, so how dare you ask me for colored ropes?"
After she finished speaking, she glared at Ye Qingwan and said, "You say you consider me a good friend, but then you turn around and complain about me. Is there any kind of friend like you in this world?"
Ye Qingwan was stunned for a moment.
Lin Xiuyan continued, "Also, you two could have told me about this beforehand."
"But you insist on seeing my reaction, and you insist on making me feel scared."
"One of you said you liked me and wanted to spend your life with me, but Ye Junfei, are you honest about what you've done and whether you intend to spend your life with me?"
Ye Junfei: "..."
Lin Xiuyan pursed her lips slightly: "Also, regarding what happened today, what right do you have to expect me not to believe you?"
"You were the one who hid it from me first! How can you so brazenly ask me to braid colorful ropes for you?"
This was the first time Ye Qingwan had ever seen someone lecture Ye Junfei like this, and so eloquently at that. If she hadn't been acupunctured, she probably would have applauded Lin Xiuyan.
