Chapter 67: You Deserve It
The sunlight poured through the window into the plain medical room.
Outside the window, only birdsongs could be heard.
As Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue trained hard since childhood, they developed a habit.
At the slightest disturbance, they would wake up from their sleep immediately. But yesterday, not only was the soothing incense lit, but it seemed that there were some herbs that could calm the nerves in the medicine as well.
Therefore, he slept very comfortably all night and even had an unusual dream.
...
*Wearing a red robe, he led Xiyue into the lobby, bowed three times in front of his parents, and then made the vows to become husband and wife.
Xiyue shyly agreed to wait for him in the bridal chamber.
Turning around, he saw his little sister, now grown-up, crying with joy and congratulating him and her sister-in-law.
After giving a toast to the guests, he entered the bridal chamber, but when he excitedly lifted Xiyue's red veil, he saw Feng Yu Die's face there. So, he resolutely put the red veil back on her face and left, totally uninterested.*
At this point, he woke up from the dream.
...
"Hoo--"
Ye Anping exhaled lightly, but his mind was full of mixed feelings. He didn't know whether this dream was a good dream or a nightmare.
At this time, the door was pushed open, and two little helpers walked in, pushing a wooden trolley.
"Master Ye, it's time to change the dressing."
Ye Anping paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered a small plot in the game and replied as politely as possible. "Thank you, guys, for coming here so early. I didn't bother you, did I?"
"Young Master Ye is too polite! This is our job." One of the little helpers narrowed his eyes and smiled, then directed the other boy. "You help Mr. Ye up, and I will change the bandages."
Looking at their expressions, Ye Anping felt that he must have passed the test and breathed a sigh of relief.
The two little helpers nimbly helped Ye Anping remove the old bandages and gently wiped the remnants of the ointment clean with the prepared hot water and a rag.
It was at this time that two soft knocks came from the door.
Ye Anping thought it was probably Bai Yuexin who came to deliver breakfast, so he said directly, "Please, come in!"
"Ah... brother, I came to see you..."
Pei Lianxue opened the door and walked in with a smile on her face, but seeing Ye Anping's naked upper body being wiped by two young boys, she took a sharp breath.
Just when Xiao Yunluo, who was following her, was about to come in and say hello, Pei Lianxue turned around, pushed her out, then closed the door with her foot.
With a confused look, Xiao Yunluo asked, "Lianxue, what's going on?"
"Brother is changing the dressing. You and I will wait outside for a while."
Hearing this, Xiao Yunluo covered her smile, thinking that Lianxue really protected what was hers, and they waited outside together.
In the room, the two boys seemed to have glimpsed Xiao Yunluo, and their eyes shone with surprise for a moment. They seized up Ye Anping and asked, "Mr. Ye, who is that girl?"
"Ah... well, she is my younger sister, and she came to participate in the selection as a companion."
The boy wrapped him in bandages again and said, "It's quite rare to see the Young Lady getting so close to anyone. In the past, she always lived alone. I heard that there were many maids assigned to her, but they were all driven away by her."
"Is that so..."
Of course, there was no need for the little helper to tell him. Ye Anping already knew.
But after hearing what the boy said, he felt a little melancholy.
In the game, after the relationship between Feng Yu Die and Xiao Yunluo improved, Si Xuanji took the initiative to contact Feng Yu Die.
Si Xuanji's purpose was mainly to understand Feng Yu Die's temperament and moral character to see if she could entrust her daughter to her.
Her intention was for Feng Yu Die to grow up together with Xiao Yunluo, acting as a protective elder sister, and at the same time, to let Xiao Yunluo go through setbacks and tribulations to become a strong and self-reliant girl.
It's a pity that with Feng Yu Die's morals, she mistook entrustment for another kind of "*entrustment*". But that was another matter.
In the following main plot, Feng Yu Die and Xiao Yunluo often supported each other.
As mentioned before, Ye Anping did not have any big thoughts of retaliation. He was always clear about his role -- a cannon fodder.
His only expectation was to advance with his sister on the path of Immortality to reach a position as safe as possible, then go to the **Cold Sky Country** to marry Xiyue and return to the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect to live a peaceful life.
However, once the relationship between his sister and Xiao Yunluo reached a higher level, Si Xuanji would most likely come to his door to entrust Xiao Yunluo to his sister.
His sister's temperament and moral values were beyond any doubt.
But in this case, his sister would really become a "pseudo protagonist", and countless dangers would await her in the future.
Ye Anping contemplated all this with a deep frown.
This matter could be considered an oversight on his part -- before his sister entered the ***Black Star*** Sect, he really did not expect that she would become friends with Xiao Yunluo.
Xiao Yunluo's personality in the early stages was extremely arrogant, and her behavior was uncontrollable. She was almost like a wild tigress, while his younger sister was like a rabbit. Could tigers and rabbits become friends?
However, seeing the current situation, it seemed that his sister had tamed Xiao Yunluo from a tiger to a cat.
Cats and rabbits are quite compatible...
Ye Anping squeezed the bridge of his nose, thinking for a while, and suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
---Should those two be forcibly separated?
Thinking about it rationally, forcibly separating the two would definitely cause less trouble in the future, which was the desired outcome.
But...
If he thought about it from an emotional standpoint, breaking them up by force would be a move that would definitely hurt his sister's heart.
He was indeed very hard on his younger sister when he was a child, but he never broke her heart. Now that she had a true friend, he was really happy for her, not to mention that Xiao Yunluo was indeed perfect for being a friend.
Aside from this method, another way he thought of was to make Xiao Yunluo have a more favorable impression of Feng Yu Die than of his sister.
In this way, Si Xuanji would be lured to Feng Yu Die, bringing the plot back on track.
However, with Feng Yu Die's temperament...
Even if Ye Anping took the trouble to counsel her, the most he could do was to keep Xiao Yunluo's good impression of her from further decreasing.
To put it bluntly, good impression was a matter of distribution. The total amount a person had, was only that much. If one person has more, another person has less.
Just like the saying, "Children who are close to their father are basically afraid of their mother".
It might still be possible for Feng Yu Die in the later stages, but how could the current Feng Yu Die compete with the sister that Ye Anping had painstakingly trained for more than ten years?
Ye Anping felt like he was to blame for all this:
---What to do if he raised his sister so well!
---Ye Anping, you deserve it!
