"Sigh." A silhouette floated in. "Has that fellow left?"
The visitor was none other than Ji Lingxi, holding a big red apple in her hand.
Yun Yang frowned. "Lingxi, you silly girl, let me tell you … a lady must knock before entering someone else's door in the future. There's no exception here. You must cultivate this habit. Otherwise, how are you going to behave in the future?"
Ji Lingxi frowned. "Yun Yang, what do you mean? Can you not use such a tone? I'm not your daughter nor your younger sister. Can you not always put on the airs of an elder in front of me? Can I? I'm begging you, okay?! "
Yun Yang sighed helplessly. "Alright then …"
He raised his head and said seriously, "Lady Ji, how do you do? Please, when you enter my door or someone else's door in the future, you must first … "
Before Yun Yang could finish his words, Ji Lingxi had already turned to leave. The young lady was trembling with rage. She bit off half of the apple in her hand, even the core, and chewed it with all her might.
This blockhead!
Serves you right to be a bachelor for the rest of your life!
Not long after Ji Lingxi left, Yun Yang's door was knocked on.
"Come in."
Yun Yang called out.
"Young Master Yun, are you busy?" Yue Rulan walked in.
Yun Yang stood up quickly and said respectfully, "Sister Lan, you're here. Please, take a seat."
Behind Yue Rulan, Ji Lingxi watched with a pout as Yun Yang welcomed Yue Rulan in politely and respectfully. He even personally placed a stool down for Yue Rulan and looked at Ji Lingxi. "Oh, Lingxi is here too. Find a place to sit."
Ji Lingxi wanted to turn and leave at once.
Was the difference in treatment too obvious?
Was there such a big difference in our appearances? Was she that young? Was Sister Lan that old?
"Didn't the two of you argue again when Lingxi came just now?" Yue Rulan asked as if she was having a headache.
She truly did not understand why Yun Yang was like this.
No matter what, he doted on Ji Lingxi and followed her lead. However, this doting was the complete doting of an elder and had nothing to do with the relationship between a man and a woman. It was like a pair of parallel lines that would never intersect.
What was going on?
Also, I'm Lingxi's sister. We're just sisters and I'm not anyone to you. Is there a need to treat me with such respect?
What did she mean by treating him like an elder?!
I'm only one or two years older than Lingxi!
Yun Yang smiled and said, "Nothing much just now. I was just telling Lingxi to knock first when entering someone else's room, just like Sister Lan did just now … Sister Lan and Lingxi should call me Cousin Brother Yun or Cousin Brother Yun when they meet me in the future … Even if it's a more private meeting or when it's just the three of us, we have to maintain this form of address. Right now, our greatest enemy is in the inn not far from us. Their cultivation is too high, so high that it's beyond our understanding. We must be careful. Even if they are far away, it's not certain that they won't be able to hear our conversation. "
"We only need to hear one sentence from a conversation like tonight's, and we're all done for."
Yun Yang said seriously, "Sister Lan, you understand. We don't have any power to fight them now, so we have to get used to the new way of getting along and acknowledge it from the bottom of our hearts. "
Yue Rulan answered readily, "Cousin Brother Yun is right. We really have to get used to it!"
Yun Yang looked at Ji Lingxi, obviously not trusting the latter's temperament.
Not only was Ji Lingxi unable to vent her anger, it was getting more and more intense. She bit her lips and only said after a long time, feeling wronged, "Cousin Brother Yun is right."
"Good girl!" Yun Yang looked comforted.
However, the compliment almost made Ji Lingxi lose her mind from her anger. She sat on the edge of the bed, almost collapsing Yun Yang's bed. Raising her hand, there was a green cucumber in her hand.
She bit down viciously, her cheeks puffed up as she chewed furiously, her eyes glinting fiercely at Yun Yang.
It was as if the cucumber was Yun Yang, or perhaps it was Yun Yang's flesh that Young Mistress Ji wanted to chew into pieces!
"What's the background of these two people?" Yue Rulan frowned and asked, "Cousin Brother Yun, have you found out anything?"
Yun Yang sorted out his thoughts and said, "This Lei Family's young lord is most likely from another realm … or a mysterious place called the Bound of Universe."
Yue Rulan and Ji Lingxi's eyes froze. "Bound of Universe? Someone from the upper realm? "
Coming from renowned aristocratic families, they were no strangers to the term 'upper realm'. Although they did not know what level the Bound of Universe was or what kind of realm it was, they knew that it was not a simple place. At least, it was far above the Tianxuan Continent!
"Silence." Yun Yang said, "The reason why he's looking for trouble with you is probably to use you to complete a stage of his cultivation method … I didn't hear clearly what cultivation method it is and what it's about. But it's probably related to the seven emotions. "
"According to my speculation, the cultivation method should be an extremely evil one, but once it's cultivated, it'll be a mystical cultivation method with boundless power."
Yun Yang analyzed carefully, "Using the seven emotions of life as the cultivation goal, it should be to fall in love, then leave it, break it, and destroy it. Even to the point of being merciless, heartless, and so on. Finally, this extremely evil and inhumane cultivation method is achieved … "
Yun Yang sighed. "I don't know what you all think, but the degree of evil in this cultivation method can be considered the most extreme cultivation method I've ever seen in my life. There's no other!"
Yue Rulan and Ji Lingxi were both born in noble families, so they were knowledgeable people. Hearing Yun Yang's words, they felt their scalps tingle. Yue Rulan paled and said, "You mean … that person is using both of us as cauldrons? Using us to perfect his cultivation method? "
Yun Yang nodded. "That should be the case. Otherwise, there's no way to explain his previous actions."
Yue Rulan and Ji Lingxi's expressions grew darker, extremely unpleasant.
Cauldrons!
These two words were the two words that all women in this world who knew the true meaning of these two words hated the most!
Such an action was also an action that all women hated the most!
"He's been chasing us without killing us or capturing us. He's been torturing us continuously. Is this also part of his cultivation method?" Ji Lingxi asked.
"Most likely." Yun Yang said, "I eavesdropped on their conversation just now. There seemed to be a line about 'Only when the body is free and safe but the psyche can't withstand the extreme fear and despair can I obtain the Primordial Yin of Chaos and complete a part of my Seven Emotions Praxis' …"
"What does it mean?" Ji Lingxi asked.
Yue Rulan sighed. "What else could it mean? It's nothing more than to let us be in an environment of freedom and not be controlled. He then exerted pressure until our psyche is naturally crushed by the pressure. Even the Primordial Yin belonging to a lady of Primordial Yin will be messed up along with the mental breakdown. This is the perfect time for him to strike. If it weren't for Cousin Yun's timely appearance, we might have really fallen into his hands! "
Yue Rulan blushed as she spoke, gritting her teeth.
It was no wonder.
At that time, the two of them were almost on the verge of giving up when they were being hunted down. When they even had the will to die, the other party would immediately slow down to give them a buffer and a chance to rest. When they were about to give up, the other party would change his strategy and start targeting their appearances …
Whether it was then or now, it was obvious that the other party wanted to keep tormenting the two girls until they went insane!
Ji Lingxi said with a dark expression, "Don't tell me that both our families … don't know about this? The pursuit has been going on for such a long time, it's been two and a half months … "
Yue Rulan's gaze dimmed as she said softly, "Lingxi, why are you still thinking about your family's help even now? This is the fate of the daughters of our noble families … From birth, our fate has long been decided. "
"In the first ten to twenty years, we had the glory of being a young lady, we could have anything we wanted. However, when we grow up, it's time for us to pay the price for everything we've enjoyed all these years."
"If the family needs to maintain its current strength through marriage, they'll sacrifice our bodies in exchange. If the family has offended someone they shouldn't and needs a buffer, they'll use our bodies to exchange and mediate. If the family wants to advance and become stronger, they'll still use our bodies in exchange. All in all, as long as the family needs it … the meaning of our existence is to wait for the right price to be sold, to be used in times of need!"
Yue Rulan said softly, "Why would our personal wishes be cared about? Those who achieve great things don't bother with trifles. Our wishes aren't even considered trifles, they're merely insignificant …"
"After I understood this, I've long given up on all beautiful dreams. Sometimes, I feel like I'm a high-class prostitute, flaunting my extraordinariness and uniqueness. Deep down, I'm just raising my price and waiting for a suitable price … Compared to the girls from humble families, we so-called young ladies of noble families are perhaps even more pitiful! Ordinary well-off families or even poor families still have kinship, but for us, it's an extravagant hope, an unattainable extravagant hope! "
Yue Rulan's voice was low, her words clear but the resentment that flowed between the lines was like a surging volcano that was about to erupt. "Even if we're engaged and we've found someone, we can still go back on our word when the family faces a greater temptation, we can still …"
