A sudden roar made Leng Yinyin jolt.
The voice was too familiar to her.
It was her master.
The Valley Mistress of Hundred Flowers Valley.
Du Yuan.
Before she could regain her senses,
Du Yuan, in a flowing red dress, graceful and mature, appeared before her like a ghost.
*Slap!*
Her face contorted with rage as she raised her hand and slapped Leng Yinyin across the face.
The force sent Leng Yinyin flying several meters, spitting blood.
"Little brother, are you alright?" Du Yuan quickly helped Chen Nan up, her eyes filled with concern.
Chen Nan weakly replied, "Thankfully, sister arrived in time. Otherwise, we might never have seen each other again." He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"Master, why did he suddenly become your brother?"
Leng Yinyin's face was filled with disbelief, an expression far more shocked than when she had seen Chen Nan unleash his domain.
She had been training under her master for over ten years.
She knew her master quite well.
Her master was the only daughter of the Valley Mistress of Hundred Flowers Valley.
Because of her exceptional talent, she had taken over Hundred Flowers Valley.
Becoming the new Valley Mistress.
She had never heard of her having a brother.
Leng Qingmei, who had seen her sister sent flying, could no longer afford to hold back and rushed over.
But upon learning that this woman was her sister's master,
She felt as if struck by lightning.
Her skin involuntarily crawled with goosebumps.
The Mistress of Hundred Flowers Valley actually called Chen Nan "little brother"?
Could someone tell me what on earth was happening?
Why did this good-for-nothing have such a powerful sister?
Did it make any sense?
It was illogical!
Even though Leng Qingmei had published countless books and was the renowned Master Lan of Tongcheng.
Even though her writing often featured absurd and unbelievable plots.
Even though her imagination was boundless.
She wouldn't dare to write such a preposterous scenario!
This was utterly unreasonable!
"Little brother, my disciple injured you. Sister is so sorry. Would you accept my elixir?" Du Yuan's face was full of guilt. "If you don't accept it, then you're angry with sister. Sister can only kill this disciple to vent your anger."
Leng Yinyin stood there, dumbfounded.
A colossal wave of shock surged within her, along with a strong sense of loss.
Why would her master say such a thing?
Did it mean.
Her standing in her master's heart was inferior to Chen Nan's?
Leng Qingmei's face was aghast.
What was going on?
Wasn't her sister supposed to be extremely favored in Hundred Flowers Valley?
Why was her master casually mentioning her life and death?
Just to appease Chen Nan and vent his anger?
Chen Nan was also speechless.
Did it have to be this exaggerated?
They had only met yesterday.
Even if he had saved her life.
There was no need for such absurdity, right?
It was a good thing she didn't write books.
She didn't make a living by writing.
Otherwise, no one would read her books.
She would starve to death.
He cleared his throat and said awkwardly, "Sister, please don't be so agitated. I'll accept your elixir, alright?"
Although Leng Yinyin had tried to kill him just now.
He couldn't let Leng Yinyin die.
Firstly, it would create a rift between him and Du Yuan.
Secondly, he still had plans for Leng Qingmei.
If Leng Yinyin were killed because of this, Leng Qingmei would surely bear a grudge.
She would never wholeheartedly please him afterward.
Du Yuan was overjoyed. She quickly took out an elixir, pinched it with her delicate fingers, and brought it to Chen Nan's lips. She fed it to him like she was caring for a beloved family member, whispering, "Here, open your mouth, sister will feed you the medicine."
Chen Nan looked embarrassed but opened his mouth, allowing Du Yuan to feed him the elixir.
He then sat cross-legged, beginning to recover from his injuries.
Du Yuan, standing beside him, said with concern, "It's all my fault. If I had introduced you to my unworthy disciple yesterday at the inn, how could she have dared to hurt you today?"
Upon hearing this.
A thick layer of goosebumps rose on Leng Yinyin's skin.
Meaning.
Chen Nan and her master were at the inn last night?
At this moment.
She finally understood why her master had suddenly thrown a tantrum and told her to get lost when she went to find her last night!
It didn't take much thought to realize.
She must have interrupted something good between her master and Chen Nan.
Thinking this, she suppressed her unease and said, "Master, I don't know why you've recognized Chen Nan as your brother, but your disciple hopes you'll stay away from him."
"This guy isn't just scum, he's a scoundrel."
"Please don't be deceived by his honeyed words!"
She didn't deny her master's strength.
But her master had always lived in Hundred Flowers Valley. How could she know the wickedness of people in the mortal world?
Especially Chen Nan.
This guy was so handsome that women would be mesmerized. She feared her master would be taken advantage of emotionally.
"Insolent!"
Du Yuan roared, "Going by what you're saying, are you implying something happened between us siblings?"
"Let me tell you, we have a pure sibling relationship."
"As pure as white paper."
"Also, little brother Chen Nan saved my life yesterday."
"He is my savior."
"Even if I were to offer myself to him, what then?"
"Disciple knows her mistake, disciple knows her mistake!" Leng Yinyin quickly admitted her error, completely unaware that Chen Nan had saved her master's life.
Du Yuan snorted, "But you, why did you try to kill him?"
"Valley Mistress Du, this entire matter arose because of this junior!" Leng Qingmei knelt beside her sister, saying nervously, "Chen Nan was once this junior's husband. Due to some unpleasant events, we divorced."
"My sister heard about it and wanted to help this junior teach him a lesson. That's all."
Du Yuan reached out and lifted Leng Qingmei's chin, examining her closely, "Your eyes aren't blind, how could you divorce my little brother?"
"That's right."
"A mere vase like you, with only outward beauty, is destined to be unworthy of a man as excellent as my little brother."
Leng Qingmei lowered her head in shame.
She dared not say anything more in front of Du Yuan.
Du Yuan looked at Chen Nan, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes, "Little brother, do you want sister to help you kill your ex-wife?"
"Sister, please don't do that!" Chen Nan quickly said, "Although we no longer have the status of husband and wife, we were married once. Let's let this matter rest here."
He didn't want to kill Leng Qingmei.
She was the obsession and inner demon of the original host.
Wouldn't it be more satisfying to keep her and use her than to kill her outright?
Du Yuan sighed, "Since little brother is pleading for them, I will spare her life."
"However, you are too soft-hearted."
"In the future, you must be more ruthless towards your enemies."
"Only then can you ensure you are not harmed."
As she spoke.
A hint of disappointment flickered in her heart.
She could sense that Chen Nan still deeply loved this woman.
This made her feel a sourness in her heart.
It was very uncomfortable.
Chen Nan replied obediently, "I will remember sister's teachings!"
A trace of reluctance flashed in Du Yuan's eyes, "I received a message from upstream asking me to return to the construction site immediately. Therefore, after Tongcheng overcomes this catastrophe, we siblings will reunite!"
Chen Nan nodded solemnly, "Alright, I will have celebratory wine ready then, and we will drink and reminisce, sister."
Du Yuan looked at Leng Yinyin, her eyes flashing with a cold gaze, "You will stay in Tongcheng to protect my little brother. You must obey any command he gives, understand?"
"If anything happens to him, I will hold you responsible!"
Leng Yinyin quickly lowered her head, "Disciple obeys!"
Du Yuan gave Chen Nan a charming smile and disappeared into the rain like a streak of rainbow.
Chen Nan looked at the sisters before him, grinning, "Little sister-in-law, where is your bamboo flute? You played well just now, but I wonder, how are your skills with other flutes?"
