Chapter 219 Fearing He'd Go Astray in Cultivation
No way, could it be that the reason Lu Chi's attitude suddenly changed so drastically recently is because Lu Chi wants a younger sister, but he doesn't have one himself, and seeing that Sheng Sheng is sweet, cute, well-behaved, and clever, he wants to snatch Sheng Sheng away and make her his own younger sister?
Xie Yunqi understood.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt I understood.
He had a complete and profound realization!
"So that's how it is. I knew it! This Lu Chi was ready to fight the moment he saw me, but suddenly he's a completely different person. He had something to do with it all along, you bastard!"
Xie Yunchuan concealed the satisfaction in his eyes and earnestly admonished him: "You must not be presumptuous. As a prince, you should be even more careful in your words and deeds."
"Pah, pah, pah! If we keep being so careful, Shengsheng will be kidnapped!" Xie Yunqi said indignantly. "Shengsheng is still so young and doesn't understand anything. She could easily fall into the trap of bad people. Second brother, I'm going to take Shengsheng into the mountains to play right now. My sister doesn't need anyone else to accompany her!"
Therefore, Xie Yunqi rushed over immediately, fearing that if he was a step too late, Lu Chi would take advantage of the situation.
At this moment, Xie Yunqi listened to her beloved younger sister defending Lu Chi so much—although she wasn't really, it was all just Xie Yunqi being blinded by anger.
Xie Yunqi was still very angry and became even more convinced that Lu Chi was trying to take his precious younger sister away.
Lu Chi was jealous of Sheng Sheng's family because he was so happy and had a younger sister while he didn't, and also because Lu Chi simply didn't like him!
That's absolutely right. Otherwise, how could he have been my enemy for two years, only to change his mind after meeting Sheng Sheng?
Yes, that's right, that must be it.
Feeling ashamed, I wondered what Xie Yunqi was imagining again, but judging from his expression, he must be thinking about something bad.
Sometimes Sheng Sheng really wanted to know how her fifth brother could come up with so many outlandish ideas.
Sheng Sheng was both amused and exasperated: "Fifth Brother, you're overthinking it."
Xie Yunqi scoffed, "Impossible, little sister, you don't need to say anymore. Lu Chi and I are both men, and I know exactly what men are thinking. Look at how attentive he is! Normally, it's a miracle he doesn't scold me, but he actually went with us to stir up trouble. Normally, he would have called me childish! Sister, listen to your brother, all men are the same!"
Sheng Sheng: "...Okay."
Xie Yunqi's facial expressions were very rich when he spoke.
His eyebrows twitched, his eyes widened, his mouth pursed, he patted his chest, and he swung his fist.
It gives one a feeling that the world is in my hands.
She was afraid that if she didn't say a word of thanks, Xie Yunqi would immediately go mad.
Xie Yunqi was finally satisfied and took her hand: "That's right, little sister, you have to be careful. Be wary of those scumbags outside from a young age! All the nice men outside are fake; they all have ulterior motives. They just think you're cute and want to take you away to be their own little sister!"
When Xie Yunqi said this
Sheng Sheng was truly at a loss. Xie Yunqi's words were becoming increasingly exaggerated, and Sheng Sheng, fearing that these words would get out, quickly stopped him: "Fifth Brother, Sheng Sheng isn't a pearl, where would so many people like her? You're really overthinking it!"
"That's because you don't know it. Don't you know how good you are? In short, you can't go wrong by listening to your fifth brother. Your fifth brother is a man himself, don't you understand men's thoughts?"
"Actually, Fifth Brother is only nine years old, isn't he?" Sheng Sheng chuckled, speechless at his childish question, before finally asking, "Then, is Father Emperor also nine?"
"Well."
Now it was Xie Yunqi's turn to be speechless.
"Oh dear, Father Emperor is no human being!"
Sheng Sheng: "?"
Sheng Sheng was horrified and was about to say, "Fifth Brother, are you crazy?" when he heard Xie Yunqi gasp, "Father is a dragon, the true Son of Heaven!"
"..."

After some twists and turns, Sheng Sheng finally made it up the mountain.
At first, Sheng Sheng was thinking of taking it easy and strolling up the mountain, treating it like a hike.
Now that Xie Yunqi was going to accompany her, Shengsheng naturally followed Xie Yunqi on horseback.
Despite Xie Yunqi's lack of martial arts skills, he is an excellent horseman. Even though he is only a teenager, he can steadily keep Shengsheng in front of him and ride together.
Sheng Sheng was pleasantly surprised. She hadn't expected her fifth brother to be such a good horseman. She had ridden horses with many people before, but Xie Yunqi's horse was the most stable. She didn't feel any bumps at all while riding it.
She used to get dizzy easily when riding horses because she was small and had a low center of gravity, and the horse would wobble when it ran.
But now, I don't know if it's because she didn't feel any vibration, but her head isn't dizzy at all.
"Fifth brother, you're amazing! You don't get dizzy at all!"
Xie Yunqi said proudly, "Of course, I may not be good at other things, but I am quite good at riding horses. When I was six years old, I was able to ride a horse for the first time and run easily. Even the riding instructor at the time praised me for my talent."
"Wow, Fifth Brother is really amazing!" Sheng Sheng praised without reservation.
Because the two of them were riding horses and moving very fast, Sheng Sheng decided to go up the mountain alone with Xie Yunqi, while Zijuan led the rest of the people to catch up.
Stone nestled in Sheng Sheng's arms, listlessly shaking his head and looking around.
There were no more Imperial Guards checking at the foot of the mountain, so the two men didn't stop their horses and galloped straight up the mountain.
This was Sheng Sheng's first time entering this mountain. Perhaps because the large prey had all been hunted in the past few days, Sheng Sheng only occasionally saw a few wild rabbits and pheasants along the way.
The mountain wasn't too big. Sheng Sheng said he wanted to go into the mountain to find Li Manyan. Xie Yunqi didn't know Li Manyan, so Sheng Sheng told him to walk towards where there were more people and that he would eventually find her if he looked slowly.
The two wandered around for a while, but instead of encountering Li Manyan, they met someone else.
The boy, around seventeen or eighteen years old, was anxiously calling out from his horse: "Sister, second sister!"
Following the sound, she looked up and saw a strange man she didn't recognize.
Sheng Sheng tugged at Xie Yunqi: "Fifth Brother, do you know that person?"
Xie Yunqi shook his head: "I don't know him, but judging from his clothes, he should be a young master from some family."
"oh."
After listening for a few more moments, the man called out for his two younger sisters, looking anxious. Had he taken his younger sisters with him into the mountains and accidentally gotten separated from them?
Although there is no danger in the mountains now, and there are quite a few people in the mountains, it is still frightening for two young women to get separated from their families in the mountains, and it would be bad if something happened.
Thinking this, Sheng Sheng decided to help him find the person.
"Fifth Brother, shall we go and ask them?"
Xie Yunqi naturally went along with her: "Okay, whatever my sister says goes."
