Chapter 179 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue
Yuan Feishuang smiled softly and said, "That won't work. Your brother specifically asked me to wait here to catch you. No matter how reluctant you are, you have to go back with me."
He pressed a few acupuncture points on Gong Jiu, sealed his internal strength and mobility, and dragged him back.
Gong Jiu struggled desperately: "Let me go, I'll go by myself!"
Yuan Feishuang smiled and said, "No."
He half-dragged and half-tugged Gong Jiu back to the courtyard.
Prince Taiping had not returned yet, and there were only Xue Chen and Xiao He in the courtyard. Gong Jiu did not have to face his father directly, but he was equally embarrassed in front of his brother.
Xue Chen sat on the low couch, his waist slightly bent, not as straight as before, and his voice was lower than before: "Thank you, Feishuang."
Yuan Feishuang: "We are friends, no need to be so polite. Moreover, I am not helping you for nothing, you can't refuse when I need your help in the future."
Xue Chen: "That's natural."
System: [Don't you dislike talking to yourself?]
Xue Chen: [I don't want to pay attention to that dog thing, just talk to Xiaofen to let him know my attitude.]
Yuan Feishuang: "That day should not be too far away, you should prepare early."
Xue Chen: "Yes."
Yuan Feishuang did not intend to untie Gong Jiu's acupuncture points, and directly lifted him to Xue Chen's couch.
Gong Jiu looked at Yuan Feishuang unkindly.
Yuan Feishuang was not afraid of him at all. He put him down with a smile. After letting go, Gong Jiu, who was weak, was forced to lean on his brother.
Xue Chen trembled, supported his brother's body, and said softly: "Untie his acupuncture points."
Yuan Feishuang: "Are you worried?"
Xue Chen: "No."
System: [You are still stubborn even if you talk to yourself...]
Xue Chen: [Shut up, don't disturb me from acting.]
Yuan Feishuang: "I won't untie him. He just scolded me. He needs to be taught a lesson. You have planned so much for him, but he doesn't appreciate it at all. He only thinks about himself and doesn't care about you at all. Don't feel sorry for him. Just let him feel uncomfortable."
Gong Jiu leaned on Xue Chen's shoulder and looked at Yuan Feishuang coldly.
Yuan Feishuang pointed at him: "Look at him, he's looking at me with such a hateful look again. If he couldn't beat me, I would have been beaten to death by him long ago."
System: [...]
Xue Chen: [Are you okay?]
System: [No... It's just that Xiaofen's words contain too much information, and my brain can't process it.]
Xue Chen: [You'd better.]
System: [? ? ?]
Xue Chen: "Let me apologize to you on his behalf first. He's in a bad mood today, and it's for a reason. He's not targeting you on purpose."
Gong Jiu tilted his head slightly, rubbed Xue Chen's shoulder and looked over.
Xue Chen's attention was completely on Yuan Feishuang. Even if he was speaking for him, his expression was still dull, without any trace of his former gentleness.
Yuan Feishuang asked curiously: "What's the reason?"
Xue Chen smiled and helped Gong Jiu lie on the couch: "Since you don't want to untie him, forget it. It's better to teach him a lesson so that he doesn't get into trouble outside all day."
Xue Chen: [He always appreciated my kindness before, why didn't he accept my PUA suddenly?]
The system humbly asked: [How did you tell?]
Xue Chen: [If it was in the past, he would definitely respond when he heard me defending him like this, but now he's like a piece of wood, and Xiaofen didn't touch his dumb hole.]
System: [So that's it...]
Xue Chen: [You are not allowed to learn from him!]
The system answered without hesitation: [Okay.]
Xue Chen was still acting.
Yuan Feishuang walked over and sat next to Xue Chen, hugging her true self and acting coquettishly in a very natural way: "I'm not a stranger, just tell me. What's the point of leaving things half-finished? It's just keeping people in suspense. Tell me, I promise I won't tell anyone."
Gong Jiu looked at Yuan Feishuang coldly.
Xue Chen smiled and said, "He has been hiding outside and refused to go home. I took some effort to trick him back. First he was deceived, and then he was scolded by my father, so naturally he was in a bad mood."
Yuan Feishuang: "No wonder, I just saw King Taiping leading his troops out. He should be chasing Xue Lian, right? He is really interesting. The people who are trying to catch him are running all over the city, but the one who was caught is still wandering in the yard and can't even leave the house."
Xue Chen seemed like he couldn't stand someone talking about his younger brother like this. He pulled his arm out of Yuan Feishuang's arms, and used this action to change the subject: "Stay overnight tonight."
Yuan Feishuang smiled and said, "Okay."
Xue Chen asked Xiaohe to make the bed, changed the bedding, and cleaned the room.
The more Gong Jiu looked, the more he felt something was wrong: "Where will Yuan Feishuang sleep tonight?"
Xue Chen said indifferently: "Here."
Yuan Feishuang said softly: "Why do you think I came here? Of course, it's to keep an eye on you. As long as you are in the mansion for one day, I will be here for one day. Wherever you are, I will be there, and I will not leave you a chance to escape."
Gong Jiu felt humiliated: "Brother!"
Xue Chen looked at him: "You have dared to attack me."
His martial arts are not as good as Gong Jiu's, and it is difficult to restrain him just by family affection.
If Gong Jiu had the opportunity to leave from under Xue Chen's nose, who knows if he would kill King Taiping.
Gong Jiu knew he was being unreasonable, so he softened his tone: "I was emotionally agitated at the time, and I really didn't want to face him. I did that
in a moment of desperation, and I didn't mean to hurt you." Xue Chen: "You hit me in a moment of desperation this time, and you might do something even worse next time. I used to think that things hadn't gotten to the worst, and as long as I put in more effort, I could win you back. Now it seems that I was wrong, and I shouldn't have pinned all my hopes on your conscience."
He still took his brother's feelings into consideration, and didn't let Yuan Feishuang watch the joke from the side. He controlled Yuan Feishuang to get up and quietly left the room.
Gong Jiu's face turned pale: "Yes, I have no conscience."
Xue Chen sighed: "You are just blinded by fear."
He has been living in fear since he witnessed his father killing his mother, and his repressed emotions also come from this.
Fear of death is human instinct. Even if you don't believe in ghosts in the world, humans will feel scared when they live with corpses.
What's more, Gong Jiu was still young at that time, and the person who died was his biological mother, and the murderer was his respected and beloved father. The only brother he could trust was frail and sickly. He fell ill after learning of his mother's death.
His father was too powerful. As long as he wanted, he could kill anyone at will.
He and his brother had no power to resist, just like his mother.
He was so overwhelmed with fear that others would find out that he had exposed his father's true face. He suppressed his temperament at a young age and was no longer as cheerful and lively as before. He gradually became the cold, arrogant and extreme person he is now.
Even if he later realized that there was a misunderstanding, there was no way to correct it.
Gong Jiu sneered: "I have outstanding talent, superb martial arts, huge influence outside, and endless money. As long as I leave the palace, no one can do anything to me. What is there to be afraid of?"
Xue Chen said lightly: "Is that what you think?"
Gong Jiu's tone softened a little: "If big brother is willing to leave here with me, it would be the best."
Xue Chen did not intend to argue with him. His expression remained unchanged. He walked to the table, opened the drawer, and took out a whip.
Gong Jiu's breath was choked: "Brother, don't..."
Yuan Feishuang did not untie his acupuncture points. He was half lying on the low couch at this time. He could not use any strength in his body. His internal strength was also sealed, and he could not suppress the reaction of his body.
His eyes were fixed on the whip.
It was a pure black leather whip, without barbs or other messy things on it. It reflected a misty white light and looked smooth and soft. It was not as cold as the whips he often used.
Gong Jiu had experienced the feeling of being whipped by this whip.
Any whip would hurt when it hit the body, but the pain was strong or weak. His brother was particularly concerned about his body. Even if he was very angry, he was reluctant to use too much strength.
He would react when he heard the word "whip", not to mention seeing a whip and being whipped by it? And the person who did this was his dearest and most beloved brother...
Gong Jiu kept complaining. He didn't want to look ugly in front of his brother, and he didn't want to be tortured lightly after his desire was aroused.
Even if his elder brother beat him up, it would be more comfortable than whipping him.
Xue Chen clapped his hands lightly with the whip: "What are you afraid of?"
Gong Jiu remembered what he had just said. After leaving the Taiping Palace, he was not afraid of anything.
His elder brother was refuting him with action!
Xue Chen: "Speak."
Gong Jiu only hated himself for being tricked by Yuan Feishuang. At this moment, he was lying on the couch and couldn't move, and he couldn't even hide.
"I..." After making the sound, Gong Jiu realized how tense his throat was, and his voice was extremely hoarse, "I don't want to..."
Xue Chen approached him: "Don't want to know what?"
Gong Jiu closed his eyes.
Xue Chen raised his hand and swung a whip, and the soft whip hit the ground, making a crisp sound, and Gong Jiu's body trembled.
System: [So perverted...]
Xue Chen: [Really?]
System: [What are you doing? Aren't you going to whip him?]
Xue Chen put away the whip, wrapped it around his left hand, sat on the stool next to him, picked up the teacup with his other hand, and drank a sip politely: [Who said I was going to whip him? I was obviously going to teach him a lesson. The push he gave me just now can never be easily forgiven! 】
System:【You praised him for being cute before? 】
Xue Chen:【No conflict. 】
System:【……】
Gong Jiu waited for a long time, but the whip didn't fall on him. He opened his eyes and looked over. He saw his brother put away the whip and was looking at him calmly.
Xue Chen: "Feishhuang is still outside. It's not good to keep him waiting for a long time. Let's forget about it today. I'll teach you a lesson later."
Gong Jiu was in great pain. He couldn't move. He could only bite his lips. He used too much force and it bled in an instant.
Xue Chen quickly put down the whip, walked to his brother's side, and pinched his chin.
The warm blood flowed onto his hand, and Gong Jiu looked at him with pleading eyes.
Xue Chen: "You just said that you didn't want to."
Gong Jiu uttered a sob, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
Xue Chen: "Even if you are gifted, have great martial arts skills, and have great power, it cannot change the fact that you are timid! Those things are just the shells you created for yourself in fear. You are still you after all. What is the difference between you now and you when you were nine years old!"
