"You dreamt about your older brother Cheng Feng? You don't have a brother complex and like your older brother, do you?" Luo Mengxuan started talking nonsense again.
Cheng Xue pinched Luo Mengxuan a few times in embarrassment and said, "Don't talk nonsense anymore, or I'll get angry. I do like my older brother, but it's just brotherly and sisterly affection."
"Moreover, my older brother is very good to me and takes good care of me. In addition, I haven't seen him for a long time, so it's normal to dream about him."
Suddenly, the night wind seemed to mutter to itself, "Is it really normal?"
Cheng Xue frowned slightly and said, "Young Master Ye, if you find anything amiss, please say it clearly instead of beating around the bush. I hate it when people only say half of what they mean."
The night wind chuckled and fell silent.
Cheng Xue became even more annoyed and continued, "I hate it even more when people stay silent and pretend to be confused."
"Then hate it if you want, I don't care, we're not close anyway." Night Breeze shrugged.
"How can you be like this? Mengxuan, control your junior brother!" Cheng Xue said, as if complaining.
Luo Mengxuan laughed and said, "I can't control that. My junior brother is more capable than me. It's more like he's the one who should be in charge of me."
"Really? Isn't he your junior brother? How can he be stronger than you? What realm are you at now, and what realm is he at?" Cheng Xue asked in a low voice.
Luo Mengxuan then explained with a smile, "I am currently at the first level of the Divine Travel Realm, while he is at the peak of the True Essence Realm."
"But you're clearly the better one," Cheng Xue said, puzzled.
“You wouldn’t understand, even if I explained it to you.” Luo Mengxuan shook her head and said.
"Why are you only telling me half the story? No wonder you're my senior and junior siblings, I hate both of you!" Cheng Xue said.
Luo Mengxuan knew, of course, that Cheng Xue was joking, and Cheng Xue quickly changed the subject and continued talking about other things with Luo Mengxuan.
The whole day passed by in the blink of an eye.
Night had fallen.
Cheng Xue then arranged another carriage for Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan so they could rest.
After all, Cheng Xue was a lady from a respectable family, and she wasn't familiar with Ye Feng. It was impossible for them to stay in the same carriage all night, otherwise it would damage her reputation.
Upon arriving at the carriage, Luo Mengxuan immediately asked, "Junior brother, is there really something wrong with Cheng Xue? She keeps dreaming about her elder brother; is there something strange about that as well?"
After a moment of thought, Ye Feng said, "I just saw a curse mark inside Cheng Xue's body."
"A cursed seal? What cursed seal?" Luo Mengxuan asked.
"The Curse of Life and Death Reversal," Night Wind said.
Luo Mengxuan had never heard of any life-and-death substitution spell, so her expression remained very puzzled.
Night Wind explained, "If a person suffers an irreparable injury or an incurable disease, they can use the Life and Death Substitution Spell to have someone connected to them by blood die in their place."
Upon hearing this, Luo Mengxuan's expression changed drastically.
She even stood up abruptly, causing her head to hit the ceiling of the carriage with a loud thud.
"Don't get so excited," Ye Feng said.
"How can I not be excited? Junior brother, are you sure this is true? Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?" Luo Mengxuan exclaimed in surprise.
However, Luo Mengxuan's exclamation did not travel, because Ye Feng had already casually set up a sound-blocking barrier, so even if the people outside the carriage were very close, they could not hear their conversation.
"I believe in my judgment, and Cheng Xue's answer proves my judgment."
Ye Feng paused for a moment and then continued, "After the Life and Death Reversal Curse is set up, people with this curse mark will have a mysterious connection with each other, which is why Cheng Xue frequently dreams of her older brother."
"You mean, Cheng Xue's older brother wants Cheng Xue to die in his place?" Luo Mengxuan's face turned extremely ugly.
"I'm just saying there's a possibility. Maybe the Life and Death Reversal Curse on Cheng Xue is just a backup plan that Cheng Feng left for himself. He might try to save his own life through other means," Ye Feng said.
Luo Mengxuan certainly understood what Ye Feng meant.
Cheng Feng might try other ways to save his own life, and if he succeeds, he won't need Cheng Xue as a backup plan.
But if Cheng Feng fails, he will fully activate the Life and Death Substitution Curse, causing Cheng Xue to die in his place!
“For the Life and Death Reversal Curse to be fully activated, two people need to be in close proximity. So if I’m not mistaken, Cheng Xue’s older brother, Cheng Feng, is in Tai Xuan City, right?” Ye Feng asked.
“That’s right. I know about this. There’s a branch of the Cheng Family Chamber of Commerce in Tai Xuan City, and Cheng Feng has always been in charge of the branch,” Luo Mengxuan nodded.
"So you know whether what I said is true or false, right?" Night Wind laughed.
"Junior brother, can you help Cheng Xue remove the Life and Death Reversal Curse from her body?" Luo Mengxuan asked.
“Of course, there are two ways to remove the Life and Death Reversal Curse,” Night Wind said.
"Which two?" Luo Mengxuan asked immediately.
Night Wind replied, "The first method is the simplest; just kill the person who cast the curse."
"What about the second one?" Luo Mengxuan asked again.
Night Breeze smiled and replied, "The second method is much more complicated. As long as the Life and Death Reversal Curse is reversed, the curse seal can be broken, but this carries certain risks."
“Junior brother, you can definitely do it, right? Then can you…” Luo Mengxuan looked at Ye Feng with hopeful eyes.
“But Cheng Xue doesn’t trust me. The second method requires her cooperation, and if she doesn’t cooperate, then I naturally can’t help her,” Ye Feng said.
Luo Mengxuan sighed, her expression turning somewhat dejected.
She knew Cheng Xue definitely wouldn't believe Ye Feng, because the truth was simply too astonishing.
In Cheng Xue's memory, Cheng Feng had always been the older brother who took care of her and cared for her. Now, suddenly, she was told that she had been deceived by Cheng Feng, that he had ill intentions towards her, and even wanted to kill her. It would be a miracle if Cheng Xue believed it.
"How about we go with the first method?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.
"But……"
Luo Mengxuan hesitated and couldn't make up her mind.
Ye Feng said seriously, "Actually, I think the first method is better for Cheng Xue."
"Why?" Luo Mengxuan asked.
"Because the first method doesn't require Cheng Xue's knowledge; we just need to secretly kill Cheng Feng. Although Cheng Xue will be sad when Cheng Feng dies, he will still be the good older brother in her heart," Ye Feng said.
"I...let me think about it," Luo Mengxuan said.
“Okay, take your time to think it over,” Ye Feng said.
Luo Mengxuan didn't say anything more, and Ye Feng didn't say anything more either, sitting cross-legged in the carriage to meditate.
Nothing happened that night.
The next morning, Cheng Xue sent her maid to invite Luo Mengxuan and Ye Feng.
Ye Feng made an excuse not to go over, while Luo Mengxuan went to Cheng Xue's carriage and chatted with Cheng Xue about all sorts of things, enjoying delicious pastries together.
