577 You Really Don’t Care?
“Big Brother!” Ye Chenglin was furious.
Don’t I have the best brother? He used to get me whatever I wanted! Why did it turn out like this?
Is it because of An Jiuyue?
“You’re my biological brother! How can you not help me? Have you developed feelings for An Jiuyue, that vixen— Ah!”
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Chengzong slapped her hard.
“Ye Chenglin, don’t you know what to say and what not to say?” he questioned.
As the question left his lips, he remembered when his sister learned this. Every time she offended someone, he was the one who stood behind her, shouldering her responsibility.
I was wrong. I should have let her bear the responsibility on her own. Then she won’t believe everything she says and does is right. She won’t provoke Mistress either.
“I’m right. Am I right?”
Ye Chenglin’s eyes lit up when she saw how exasperated Ye Chengzong was. She appeared pleased that she had hit the nail on the head.
“Ye Chengzong, let me tell you something. Return quickly and plead for mercy with Master on my behalf. Otherwise, I’ll tell everyone that you like Mistress! You won’t have an easy time either!”
Ye Chengzong was startled.
He had seen their mistress for the first time today, while Ye Chenglin was causing trouble.
When did he fall in love with her?
“Ye Chenglin, are you done fooling around? The Mistress is Master’s wife. I only have respect for her. Do you think everyone is like you and wants what they shouldn’t?”
“Hmph, stop denying it. There’s no point in denying it. I already know your secret.”
Ye Chenglin continued acting as if her brother liked An Jiuyue. Even though she knew it was nearly impossible, so what?
She knew this was the only way to threaten her brother and make him plead for her. She had no choice but to go all out.
“Big Brother, beg me now. Beg me to keep your secret. As long as you plead for mercy with Master, I promise I won’t tell anyone your secret. How about that?” she suggested.
“You—” Ye Chengzong did not know what to say.
“Think whatever you want! You can’t escape going to the Spirit Severing Cliff!”
His sister had truly defeated him. She came up with scheme after scheme. Did she think she could use this to coerce him like she did their master with the antidote?
But what kind of person was their master? Would he be threatened?
There were so many lords on Huayan Peak. Their master must know at least one of them and have close ties to them. How would he be unable to obtain a medicinal pill?
And he, Ye Chengzong, would not be threatened by his biological sister.
Ye Chenglin would only cause greater issues and make them ultimately insoluble if he continued to indulge her.
“You… You really don’t care?” Ye Chenglin was in disbelief.
“Aren’t you afraid Master will kill you if he finds out you like Mistress?”
“Isn’t that better?” Ye Chengzong smiled at her indifferently.
“You can be at ease if I die. How about that?”
“You—” It was Ye Chenglin’s turn to panic.
I thought I could use this opportunity to return, but my brother isn’t falling for it?
She thought for a moment before recalling that Ye Chengzong had detoxified the poison by taking an antidote pill, so he had to return it. If she took out the antidote pill, would he soften his heart and bring her back to the camp?
