In the bamboo forest, the breeze blew softly and the afternoon glow fell on the bamboo leaves.
After Ye Anping left with Liang Zhu toward the east, Su Waner said she wanted to visit **First Spring Town**, so only Pei Lianxue and Feng Yu Die were left in the forest.
For Feng Yu Die, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be alone with Pei Lianxue.
Although she had just taken a hit from the *Molong Spear* and now her back was burning in pain, this injury was nothing compared to the chance of being alone with Pei Lianxue.
After meditating for a while, she slowly opened her eyes and glanced at the other girl.Pei Lianxue was also sitting cross-legged on the ground full of fallen leaves, resting with her eyes closed. The sunlight shone on her long dark brown hair, adding a little glittering to it.
Feng Yu Die looked at her and slightly opened her mouth, wanting to start a conversation, but she suddenly realized she didn't know what to talk about with Pei Lianxue.
She had searched for countless topics, but Pei Lianxue didn't seem to be interested in any of them, only reacting with 'Oh' or 'Hmm'. She rarely said more words.
After much thought, she felt that the best would be to talk about Ye Anping.
Sister Pei liked Ye Anping the most. If she praised him, she would definitely be interested in the conversation.
And ever since she talked more with Ye Anping back in the Sword Sect, she also felt that meeting him was a happy occasion.
No matter how big the storm was, as long as Ye Anping was there, she would be able to get through it smoothly.Ye Anping was really different from those stinky men her master warned her about.
"Well... Sister Pei, it would have been great if I had met Young Master Ye a few years earlier, like you~"
When Pei Lianxue, who was quietly meditating, heard these words, the long dark brown hair that was fluttering in the breeze behind her instantly exploded.
?!
She slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Feng Yu Die. "What?"
Seeing that Pei Lianxue engaged in the conversation, Feng Yu Die's eyes lit up. "In the past, my master told me that men are all bad, but Young Master Ye seems to be different from other men. Not only does he not lie to me, but he is also very kind. He helped me earn a lot of spirit stones, and he also gave me techniques, swords, and pills."
Pei Lianxue listened and nodded slightly, feeling very calm.
Her brother had explained to her before that giving the second idiot good things was only because the second idiot could bring him more benefits. It was like an investment.
"Well, it's normal. Brother is nice to everyone."
Feng Yu Die nodded in response, but then she looked up at the sky and continued, "Furthermore, when Young Master Ye trained me to practice the *Black Moon Routine* those days, he reminded me of my master. My master also trained me in the same way. If I was slacking off, she would hit me with bamboo sticks... Hehe."
"Do you see my brother as your master?"
"Of course, he can't compare to my master. My master is the best master in the world." Feng Yu Die looked into the distance with nostalgia in her eyes. "Master was the person who treated me best, and Young Master Ye is the second person who treats me well."
As she spoke, she scratched her silver hair and said with a silly smile, "Although, it's true that I haven't met many people since I was a child. I have always lived in the mountains with my master. I occasionally went out to play, but my master would not take me to crowded places. Haha..."
It turned out that the second idiot regarded her big brother as her second master. In this case, this would explain her clinging to him these days.
As for her brother, he was probably treating her as a disciple, right?
The apprentice follows the master, the master takes care of the apprentice!
It's normal...
Yeah!
Pei Lianxue nodded impassively, feeling relieved, and her tone lightened as she asked, "Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?"
Hearing Pei Lianxue's tone soften, Feng Yu Die was secretly delighted; she finally made Sister Pei talk to her.
Taking advantage of Ye Anping's absence, she could secretly take a step closer to Sister Pei.
"Just casually chatting. It's so rare to talk to you, Sister Pei... I wanted to hear your voice."
Pei Lianxue nodded, and just to reassure herself, she asked, "Could it be that you want to marry my brother?"
"What, no way~~"
Feng Yu Die pursed her lips and observed Pei Lianxue's expression again. Seeing that her face was calm, she looked around again.
The forest was deep and green, bamboos were everywhere, and a cool breeze blew.
Maybe this wasn't the best time, but...
Feng Yu Die took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and shouted. "Sister Pei!! I..."
"Huh?"
Feng Yu Die turned to look at Pei Lianxue and roared, "I like you!!!"
"Oh."
"Sister Pei, I'm serious." Feng Yu Die pursed her lips, clenching her fists nervously, as she continued, "From the first moment I saw you, I knew you were the only one in my life."
"Oh."
"I don't mind if you marry three wives and four concubines in the future, and I don't mind if you marry Young Master Ye first, so..."
Feng Yu Die poked her thumbs pitifully and asked in a low voice, "Sister Pei, will you marry me?"
She looked at Pei Lianxue's face quietly, expecting her to open her mouth and say the word 'Okay!'
Unfortunately, Pei Lianxue just looked at her, then closed her eyes and continued to meditate, seemingly ignoring her words that came from the bottom of her heart and took a lot of courage to say.
Seeing that Pei Lianxue did not respond, a trace of disappointment showed on Feng Yu Die's face. She lowered her head and pouted as if she was about to cry.
But on second thought...
Maybe it was just that the timing was not right. In any case, Sister Pei did not reject her and didn't even glare at her.
"Sister Pei..."
"..."
"You haven't called me Second Idiot for a long time... It's so nice when you affectionately call me Second Idiot. Can you call me Second Idiot from now on?"
?
Pei Lianxue slightly opened her eyes and glanced at her again. After hesitating for a moment, she simply answered her request: "Second Idiot."
Almost instantly, the disappointment on Feng Yu Die's face disappeared and turned into her usual goofy look.
"Hehe~! Hehehe..."
Right at this time, Su Waner walked out from behind a bamboo, coming from the south. As soon as she came back, she heard Feng Yu Die's heartfelt confession to Pei Lianxue, and she was stunned.
She originally thought that these two girls were that guy Ye's concubines or something, but unexpectedly...
But anyway, the conversation she had just heard between Ye Anping and his elder brother revealed such a fantastic story that it was enough to shock the four regions!
Just the things she heard, sold to the black market could bring her hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.
She really was right, that guy named Ye was indeed of high status. As long as she followed him, she wouldn't suffer a loss.
Not long after, Ye Anping and Liang Zhu also walked back from the east side of the bamboo forest.
Ye Anping glanced at Feng Yu Die who was giggling inexplicably and frowned slightly. "Why are you smiling like a fool?"
Feng Yu Die hastily erased her smile and looked away before saying, "No reason, hehe."
?
Ye Anping looked at his sister who was meditating quietly, then looked up at the sky and said, "Tonight, we will stay at the inn in the nearby town. Anyway, you need to recover from your injuries as well. Miss Su, please go to the inn to book some rooms for us."
Su Waner smiled. "I just came back from the town. I figured you would probably have to spend the night here, so I already made a reservation a long time ago."
"Is that so..."
