Chapter 69 - Sister Bai's Surprise Gift

Ye Anping couldn't help but admire his sister, but at the same time, he inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief as he considered it lucky that the one his sister met in advance was Si Xuanji and not the Final Grand Boss.

If she had encountered the Final Grand Boss ahead of time and without him making preparations in advance, then the Zhouxing Heavenly Realm would be in big trouble.

But then again-

If Si Xuanji had already set her sights on his sister, it would only be a matter of time before she found him as well.

The only way to deal with Si Xuanji was to resort to tricks.

The nickname "Old Loli" was not for nothing.

It's both the former and the latter.

The latter was not only because of her appearance but also because she had lived alone for thousands of years and was afraid of loneliness.

The former was because she had most of the characteristics of an old lady: unstable temper, insomnia, anxiety, reduced activity, reduced social skills, loss of appetite...

Ye Anping felt a little tired and asked, "And then? What did you do?"

"I escaped. After Yunluo came over this morning, we went to set up an altar in the bamboo forest and performed a passing ritual."Yur favorite ovels at n/(v)el/bin(.)com

?

Ye Anping blinked and glanced at Xiao Yunluo with a worried look.

"And then?"

"Yunluo read the sutra for salvation several times, and I sprinkled chicken blood and red beans there. Brother, tell me, if we did this, will it pass over? Do we need to do some more rituals or something?"

He didn't know if Si Xuanji would pass over, but there was a certain possibility that Xiao Yunluo's butt would be spanked.

Xiao Yunluo this girl, didn't she have the slightest inkling that it was her own mother?

What a filial daughter... Ye Anping was in a dilemma.

He actually wanted to tell them the truth now.

But given his situation, he couldn't. After all, he was not supposed to have met Si Xuanji yet.

Thus, after pondering for a while, Ye Anping simply gave a reminder to Pei Lianxue. "Sister, if you see her next time, be polite, okay? Usually, the ghosts of little girls are very annoyed by rude people. Be careful that she doesn't eat you."

" Ah..." Pei Lianxue frowned and shook her head. "Brother, don't scare me. I couldn't sleep last night, and now I won't be able to sleep tonight either."

"..."

Ye Anping hesitated but didn't say anything more about it. He picked up the cakes they brought and prepared them for the three of them to eat together.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunluo quickly reminded him. "Ah... Young Master Ye, don't eat in bed."

"..."

Ye Anping was startled, he almost forgot about the little helpers. He nodded quickly. "You're right. Then, I'd have to trouble the boys to clean up the dirty bed."

Supported by Pei Lianxue, he then walked and sat down at the table.

The three casually chatted about random stuff. Xiao Yunluo explained to Pei Lianxue about jewelry and the like and also said that she would take her to her bedroom to take a look. As such, Ye Anping didn't get too involved in the conversation.

After the girls left, Ye Anping laid on the bed, planning to take a good nap. After all, the clinic was free these days, and the soothing incense was also free, so why waste it?

However, as soon as he closed his eyes, there was another series of knocks on the door.

Ye Anping sat up again with a helpless face. "Please come in, Miss Bai."

"Eh?!"

Bai Yuexin pushed open the door and walked in, her hands behind her back as if she was hiding something. She was looking at Ye Anping with some confusion.

"Anping, how did you know it was me?"

"Other than you, the only person who comes here to see me is..."

Bai Yuexin smiled and picked up his words. "Your sister and Miss Feng, right?"

"..."

Ye Anping paused for a moment and understood: Bai Yuexin had probably arrived a while ago.

As she said last night, she came to deliver breakfast but probably heard Xiao Yunluo and Pei Lianxue in the room earlier, and that's why she didn't come in, right?

Ye Anping nodded. "Right..."

"Hmm!" Bai Yuexin puffed up her cheeks and complained. "The two girls who defeated me at the sword test are your friend and your sister. Is that why you comforted me and brought me back to Black Star Sect?"

Actually, it was for a 20% off coupon... Ye Anping shrugged ambiguously.

Seeing him like this, Bai Yuexin suddenly sighed. "Anping, at your age, you should be more playful and address me more intimately. Don't you like me to be your sister?"

"I don't mind it, thanks to you, Miss Bai..."

"Sister!!"

Ye Anping changed his wording. "Thanks to you, sister, my physiotherapy center business is flourishing."

"Then, why don't you call me sister?"

"... Sister."

"That's more like it." Bai Yuexin laughed, then said, "Alright, let's not talk about this. I saw you were bored here, so I got you something to relieve your boredom."

"You got something... to relieve my boredom?" Ye Anping raised an eyebrow and looked at her hands behind her back.

Although he could directly use his spiritual sense to check it, Ye Anping felt that it was unnecessary, so he asked, "What is it?"

"This!"

With a smile, Bai Yuexin showed her hands.

Seeing the "thing" in her hand, Ye Anping sucked in a sharp breath as if Bai Yuexin handed him an exploding bomb.

What Bai Yuexin was holding now was a gold-crowned parrot, exactly like Si Xuanji's.

And on top of that, the golden-crowned parrot's beak was stuffed with a lot of cotton.

Ye Anping gulped, then quickly reached out, held the bird gingerly, and asked, "Why did you stuff its beak with cotton?"

"Isn't this a surprise for you? This thing can talk. Once it talks, you can guess what it is, and it's not a surprise anymore."

Surprise?

Right now, Ye Anping really wanted to give Bai Yuexin a surprise as well: tell her that this was the bird raised by the sect's Matriarch.

He sighed as he stared at the parrot for a while.

If he remembered correctly, Si Xuanji usually sent this parrot to sneak around and spy. She could share her sight and hearing with this bird and even make it speak some words for her.

In other words, most likely, Si Xuanji was already listening now.

Before, he had to pretend that he couldn't see Xiao Tian, and now he had to pretend that he didn't know Si Xuanji.

What a hassle...

Ye Anping gently smoothed the fluff on the back of the parrot that was messed up by Bai Yuexin and pulled out the cotton from its beak.

"Miss Bai, you..."

Bai Yuexin frowned and interrupted. "Huh?"

"Sorry... Sister, where did you get it? This kind of pet is not cheap, right?"

"Maybe it was raised by a rich disciple or an elder and flew away without them realizing it. I just saw it perched on the roof of the medical center and caught it."

"So, that's how it was..." Ye Anping nodded and thought that it probably followed the girls over.

Bai Yuexin came closer, petted the parrot's golden crown, and continued, "It's just as well that you have nothing to do these days, so you can help take care of it. I'll keep an eye on it for you at the office, and if someone is looking for it, they'll surely put out a missing bird's notice, and you might even get a reward for returning it. If no one comes looking for it, you can adopt it or sell it at the pet market."

"..."

As Ye Anping hesitated to speak, he finally pulled out all the cotton in the parrot's beak.

The parrot immediately spread its wings, jumped out of his hand, turned around to glare at Bai Yuexin with its wise eyes, then opened its beak and said, "How rude! Silly ninny! Rude! Silly girl!"

?

Taken aback, Bai Yuexin frowned and said with a grimace, "What kind of incompetent disciple raised this damn thing and taught it to curse?"

Ye Anping didn't expect Bai Yuexin to say that. He was about to reach out to stop her, but she had already finished her words, so he slowly put his hand down.

"Incompetent!! Incapable!!"

"You stupid bird!!"

"Big boobs and no brains!! Big boobs and no brains!!"

"What?!" Bai Yuexin blushed and glanced at Ye Anping. "You damn chicken!!"

The woman and the bird directly silenced Ye Anping.

After a while, he decided to try to help and said, "Sister, you have morning classes soon, right? Don't be late."

"Oh, right! This stupid bird is so annoying that I forgot and almost got late! Anping, I'll bring you lunch later."
