"Don't worry, you're my sister and I'm your older brother. I'll never let you get hurt in the slightest."
But the thought had barely crossed my mind before I immediately snapped out of it.
How despicable! I only recognize Su Xuejiao as my sister, how could I have such a shameless thought?
Isn't this unfair to Xuejiao?
For a moment, he felt a pang of self-loathing...
"Are you Su Yunying?"
Su Yunying also sized up Su Jinyi a few times and basically confirmed that this was her older brother, Su Jinhao.
"Oh, is this Young Master Su? You're too kind."
Su Yunying's attitude was perfunctory, and she did not show much enthusiasm.
Anyway, she had figured it out during this time: no one in the Su family liked her, so there was no need to try to please anyone.
Having confirmed the other party's identity, Su Jinhao once again banished the inexplicable scene that had been lingering in his mind.
He then immediately adopted the air of an elder brother and said to Su Yunying, "Su Yunying, right? I've called you here today to tell you..."
Xuejiao is the true heiress of the Su family, and she is my only sister.
Don't think you can bully Xuejiao just because you're from the Su family. If I find out, I'll never let you get away with it.
Upon hearing this, Su Yunying looked at Su Jinhao as if he were a fool, and after a long while asked, "Young Master Su, which eye of yours saw me bullying your precious little sister?"
Su Jinhao angrily said, "You threatened to kick my little sister out of the Su family mansion, and you still say you didn't bully her?"
Su Yunying smiled and said, "Young Master Su, do you look down on the Su family or overestimate me? How could I possibly kick your sister out of the manor?"
Besides, even if I wanted to kick her out, would Madam Su and Master Su agree? Who's really in charge of this family? Do you think you're less clear-headed than an outsider like me?
"you……"
Su Jinhao was speechless after being choked.
Yin Jiao'e shouted angrily, "How dare you speak to your elder brother like that! Apologize to him right now!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yunying stood up, but showed no intention of apologizing. She simply replied indifferently, "What is there to apologize for?"
Young Master Su immediately launched into a tirade, making things he hadn't done into fact in his words.
I really can't think of anything to apologize for. If you want to apologize, go ahead and apologize. I don't have the time to play this pointless game with you.
After saying that, she glanced at Su Jinhao and said, "The eldest son of the Su family? He has no manners at all. I wonder who is the one who is embarrassing himself."
Then, too lazy to pay them any attention, he got up and walked out of the hall.
"Stop right there!"
Yin Jiao'e was so angry that she trembled all over. Suddenly, she stood up and called out to Su Yunying.
"You're getting more and more lawless, Su Yunying! I order you to kneel down and apologize to your elder brother right now!"
Su Yunying didn't even turn her head, simply waving her hand: "I'm sorry, my experiences traveling around these years have taught me one thing..."
I can eat anything, except taking a loss. I'll apologize to you if you do, unless I have a nightmare and don't wake up properly.
"I'm leaving. I'm not wasting my breath on you. Go do what you need to do."
"Where are you going? Come back here!"
"goodbye!"
Su Yunying went straight back to her room, showing no respect to Yin Jiao'e and Su Jinhao.
As soon as she left, Su Jinhao hurriedly asked, "Mother, are you really planning to bring her back to the manor?"
"Look at her! Does she have even the slightest bit of the bearing of a Fire Phoenix? She's nowhere near as good as Xue Jiao."
Yin Jiao'e composed herself and said, "Jinhao, don't worry. I only have one daughter, Xuejiao, and you only have one sister."
"Then Mother, you should quickly kick her out of the mansion."
"Not yet."
"Why!"
Yin Jiao'e sighed before slowly explaining the reason: "Jinhao, you should know what our Fire Phoenix Clan values most, right?"
"Naturally, it is the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix."
"Yes, the bloodline of the Fire Phoenix. Tens of thousands of years ago, when my Fire Phoenix ancestor was hunting the Nine Heavens Mystic Phoenix, he accidentally swallowed its blood, which caused a dramatic change in his physique."
My Fire Phoenix clan rose to prominence from this point on, becoming one of the oldest families on the Immortal Martial Continent. However, as time passed, the phoenix blood in the descendants of the Fire Phoenix clan became increasingly diluted.
By my generation, we had less than one-tenth of what our ancestors had.
And the phoenix blood within you is even scarcer. Given time, the decline of the Fire Phoenix lineage is inevitable. Alas…
Su Jinhao didn't understand: "But what does this have to do with finding Su Yunying? I still don't get it."
Yin Jiao'e continued, "What you don't know is that the Fire Phoenix bloodline experiences a reversion to its ancestral form every thousand years, which we call Phoenix Nirvana, and the bloodline that undergoes this reversion is always a female infant."
Based on the timeline, Su Yunying happens to possess the ancestral bloodline of this generation a thousand years in the future, which concerns the honor and disgrace of my Fire Phoenix clan.
Su Jinhao: "Are we supposed to treat this unruly wild girl like a godmother?"
Yin Jiao'e shook her head: "No, I only value her bloodline. If she truly possesses the ancestral fire phoenix bloodline..."
Then your mother will definitely find a way to extract her bloodline and transplant it into Xuejiao's body. In this way, Xuejiao can rightfully enter the Fire Phoenix Clan's genealogy.
The marriage arrangements with the Ji family can be settled, and Xuejiao might even stand out in the Immortal Martial Arts Competition in Daliang City of the Southern Region two months later, gaining admission to the Confucian Sage Sect for further studies.
Upon hearing this, Su Jinhao was somewhat surprised: "Mother, are you really planning to do this? After all, these are your own flesh and blood."
"For your sister's future, I have no other choice but to resort to this tactic."
Yin Jiao'e sat down and took a sip of tea, her expression calm and indifferent, as if she were talking about something insignificant.
"It's just fate, even though I carried her for ten months and gave birth to her."
Unfortunately, there was no mother-daughter bond between us. If it weren't for Xuejiao, I wouldn't be alive today.
For Xuejiao's future, and for the prosperity of the Fire Phoenix clan, I had no choice but to resort to this desperate measure. My child, can you understand your mother's decision?
Su Jinhao nodded vigorously: "Yes, I understand my mother's good intentions, but I'm afraid Su Yunying won't agree."
Yin Jiao'e gave a cold smile: "You won't agree? Now that you've entered the Su family mansion, do you think you can just leave everything to her?"
