Chapter 49: He's my little brother
Ye Fei glanced at them; they were all spiritual master techniques used by cultivators of dark spiritual energy.
"Go back tonight and take the pills to absorb them." Li Yuan put the few spiritual master techniques into the ring on his finger, his gaze falling lightly on Ye Fei's face. "You can choose between the third-grade Azure Spirit Pill given by the Grand Elder or the fifth-grade Gathering Spirit Pill given by me."
Ye Fei blinked: "You clearly needed that Grade 5 Spirit Gathering Pill too, so why did you give it to me?"
Li Yuan asked, "Aren't you angry anymore?"
Ye Fei: "?"
The girl frowned her pretty brows: "Are you stupid? The Seventh Elder gave you this gift, and you're trying to exchange it for me not being angry?"
“I don’t really need it,” Li Yuan answered truthfully. “Besides, my master is very good to me.”
The implication was: it's just a fifth-grade pill, don't worry about it too much, your master has more anyway.
Ye Fei's breath hitched: "..."
Does your master know how wasteful you are?!
“Master said we can leave now.” Li Yuan gently turned the ring. The ring was entirely black and its design looked ordinary, yet it exuded a unique and ancient aura.
Ye Fei took a few more glances and noticed that not only Li, but also Huang Rongyu, the First Elder, and the Seventh Elder all had things they could use for storage.
She also needs to buy a storage ring or belt to store hidden weapons or other items.
The two left the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
As the sun set and its afterglow resembled a rosy sunset, it was already evening. Ye Fei was hungry and decided to go to the cafeteria for dinner.
On her way to the cafeteria, Ye Fei saw a young man in a purple brocade robe walking towards her.
"Ye Fei, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" The young man waved his folding fan, a rather dashing smile on his handsome face.
"I don't think I know you. Who are you?" Ye Fei stopped and looked the boy up and down.
Feng Ruyue fanned herself with a smile and said, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Feng Ruyue, and I am... a friend of Su Haochen."
Ye Fei responded with an "Oh," and crossed her arms: "What brings you here?"
"Tomorrow is a day off. I received news that Su Haochen will be visiting the Ye family with the Su family head, and by the way... to finalize his engagement with your fifth sister, Ye Ning." Feng Ruyue winked at Ye Fei. "Such a joyous occasion, as the older sister, aren't you going back to the Ye family to see it?"
Tomorrow, Su Haochen is going to get engaged to Ye Ning.
Ye Fei asked with a half-smile, "You came all this way just to talk about this?"
"Weren't you always infatuated with Su Haochen?" Feng Ruyue saw no trace of disappointment or melancholy on Ye Fei's face, and was a little surprised. "Now that your fiancé has been taken away by your sister, aren't you sad at all?"
Upon hearing Feng Ruyue's words, a ripple of emotion, which even he himself did not notice, quickly surged in Li Yuan's dark and deep eyes.
Ye Fei was speechless: "First of all, the verbal engagement was just a joke, neither of us took it seriously. Secondly, I used to like him a lot, but now he's less than a weed in my heart. Who he marries is none of my business, so why should I be sad?"
Feng Ruyue stared at Ye Fei with a strange expression, then turned her gaze to Li Yuan behind her, and suddenly realized: "You suddenly don't like Su Haochen anymore because you've fallen for the one behind you..."
Ye Fei's face darkened: "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. Neither of you is married, so how can you say you've fallen for someone else?!"
"And—" Ye Fei put an arm around Li Yuan's shoulder, pulled him to her side, and arrogantly gestured with her hand: "He's my little brother!"
