"Xiaoxi is so smart, you even guessed that."
What does Big Brother mean by this? Is he praising her or making a sarcastic remark about her? Xiao Xi felt uncomfortable.
"Big brother, I've been holding back for a long time. Today, let's lay things out on the table. All you know is that the treasure of Prince Gong that you painstakingly searched for after returning to China was intercepted by my second brother, sixth brother, and me!"
You apologized to me time and time again, yet behind my back you bribed the people around me to secretly help me deal with those holdout residents! Brother, aren't you tired of all this scheming? Your goal is nothing but the treasure!
Ye Aotian was completely stunned when he heard Xiaoxi say that.
How could I have such an ungrateful sister? I went to so much trouble to help her.
"Xiaoxi, why do you have to misunderstand your older brother like this? The treasure is important, but the bond between siblings is even more important! That's always been my belief."
"Hehe, big brother finally admits you know about the treasure. I like to be straightforward. If you want that treasure, just tell me! There's no need to overthink it."
I'll also pay you back whatever money it cost to settle the holdout residents!
Ye Aotian felt a surge of anger rush to his head. So this was what his sister had always thought of him. His hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white, and he trembled with rage.
Ye Aotian was a cold-faced, ruthless man; no one had ever angered him like this before. Anyone who dared to oppose him was long dead.
He never imagined that his own sister would hurt him so much, so much that his heart and lungs would burst.
He took two deep breaths, and a voice kept telling him: My biological sister, she is my biological sister.
Ye Aotian finally gave in.
Little did Xiaoxi know that Ye Aotian's emotions were extremely unstable. She thought that since she had already gone this far, she might as well tear off all pretenses, reveal their true colors, and settle things once and for all.
"My dear brother, you still haven't said how much it cost? If you don't tell me, I'll offer you the treasure to offset it. I'm sorry, I can only offer my share. The rest are with my second and third brothers. You'll have to ask them if they agree."
After saying that, with a whoosh, all the treasures that Xiaoxi had obtained from Prince Gong's villa were laid out, immediately covering the floor of the living room.
A luminous pearl the size of a basketball rolled to Ye Aotian's feet.
"Xiaoxi! You've gone too far! Do you really have to be so calculating with me? So this is how you see me!"
The entire living room was filled with a cold atmosphere.
Ye Aotian unleashed a terrifying aura, reverting to his icy, icy nature, capable of causing mountains to crumble and the earth to split at any moment.
Xiao Xi sneered, "Ye Aotian, you're using this trick again? Who's afraid of who!"
Xiao Xi also unleashed her power, causing the temperature in the entire hall to drop below zero. The glass of water that Ye Aotian had poured for Xiao Xi earlier immediately froze.
Within seconds, Ye Aotian's breath froze, and his eyebrows were covered in frost.
But Ye Aotian was unyielding. He had wronged Xiaoxi before, but he had done his best to make amends.
The coldness in his body was nothing compared to the coldness in his heart.
He decided to stop bowing down to Xiaoxi, because no matter how much he compromised, Xiaoxi would always think he had ulterior motives.
He didn't want to explain anymore; explanations were pointless anyway. He was tired.
"Xiao Xi, are you trying to kill your brother?" When did Xiao Xi's hatred for him become so intense?
Just then, a cracking sound came from the ice. Xiaoxi saw that the treasures on the ground were all covered with thick ice, including the large luminous pearl that had rolled at her eldest brother's feet, which had frozen solid.
Her elder brother's words about fratricide suddenly brought her to her senses.
This is her older brother, and she even saved him in Southeast Asia.
Xiao Xi quickly withdrew her spiritual power. No matter how powerful her elder brother was, he was still a mortal, while she was a cultivator. If she really killed her own elder brother, who was like a father to her, she would probably suffer a strong backlash.
How will she face her family then?
