While Yun Yang was training the Double-headed Elysian Lion for Dong Tianleng, the other side of the room was bustling with activity.
Ji Ling crossed her arms and looked at the six sisters with a smug expression, "Call me big sister!"
The six girls were like defeated roosters, slumped on the bed, their gazes listless.
They looked like they had suffered a huge blow.
The Silvermoon Celestial Wolf paced around the floor in an arrogant manner.
At the side were six infant Darkbeasts of various shapes and sizes. All of them were listless and dejected.
"Sister Ling, how did you train it?" Among the girls, a slightly older girl asked with a bitter expression, "How did you make it so obedient?"
"Why are you calling me little sister?" Ji Ling snorted, "Call me big sister! Are you all going to go back on your words? I've always been a man of my word when I lost in the past. "
The six girls sighed, looking at the smug Ji Ling and cursing in their hearts, "You're the youngest … it's only right for you to call us big sister when you lose, but we're all older than you … how are we supposed to address you?"
"Quick! Call us big sister! "
Ji Ling was full of herself.
"But you have to tell us, what did you do with this Silvermoon Celestial Wolf?" The slightly older girl bit her lip, "We have three Silvermoon Celestial Wolves here, but they're not as good as yours in any way …"
"What's going on?"
"That's right. I bought mine from the same shop as yours. I bought mine even earlier than you did. I noticed the black spot on your ear, so I didn't choose it. Also, your ear wasn't as good as the others, but you've surpassed them in every aspect in just a few days. Little Sister Ling, you must have some secret!"
"Yes, yes, tell us quickly."
"Tell us and we'll call you big sister."
"We won't call you big sister if you don't tell us."
"Hehe, let's do that."
Ji Ling snorted and lifted her chin, "According to the bet, you've all lost. Of course, I have a secret, but I can't tell you. I'm going to continue being the big sister next year. If I tell you, what will happen to me next year? "
"Sisters, tickle her!"
Immediately, the six girls swarmed over.
"Haha … Spare us, haha … You guys … Don't call me Big Sister … Ahaha, spare us …"
The girls did not manage to force the truth out of Ji Ling. Helpless, they could only allow the little girl to sit at the head of the table. Reluctantly, the girls stepped forward to greet her, "Big sister!"
"Good! Sister, you may dispense with the formalities. "
Ji Ling's eyes were curved into crescent moons.
All the girls curled their lips.
"When we went to see that Young Master Yun yesterday, we clearly sent him a greeting card and asked him to wait at home. Yet, he still didn't show up." A girl in blue curled her lips and said, "What's so great about that?"
"That's right, that's right, isn't he just the son of some Marquis of Heavenly Clouds? So arrogant! Hmph … "
"It's no wonder that Little Sister Ling is so angry. This kind of boorish man doesn't know how to be sensible, has no manners, and doesn't know how to respect others …"
"That's right, the housekeeper in that manor is also lifeless … Just looking at him makes me angry."
"However, that Young Master Yun does have a merit. He doesn't have any servants or maids at home. Seems like he's quite reliable."
"Tsk, that's because he's poor …"
When the girls spoke of Yun Yang, they were filled with anger as they hurled insults at him. These girls were the precious jewels of their noble families; when had they ever been shunned by anyone?
Although Yun Yang had not done anything this time, he had incurred the wrath of the crowd.
When Ji Ling heard Yun Yang's name, she could not help but fall silent. He had done it. He had said that he would definitely win, and indeed, she had won with an overwhelming advantage.
Besides, her Silvermoon Celestial Wolf was obviously not outstanding. This could be felt from the girls' conversation.
However, in his hands, it had only been a little more than a day and it was as if it had been reborn.
Thinking of the promise she had made with Yun Yang, Ji Ling was conflicted.
They had agreed that if she won, she would give him half of the winnings and allow him to pick first. Besides that, she still owed him information … She did not know what kind of information he wanted …
Recalling how Yun Yang had chased her out that day, Ji Ling gritted her teeth in hatred. She wished that she would never see this bastard who did not have the slightest bit of tenderness for the fairer sex for the rest of her life!
However, she had to send him the winnings and she had to go because there was still a question that she had to answer. And that was the information …
Ji Ling was extremely conflicted.
Ji Ling sat there with a frown on her face, lost in her thoughts. She did not notice that the chatter of her sisters had long ceased. They looked at each other and exchanged glances, quietly observing the changes in Ji Ling's expression.
Each of them covered their mouths and giggled secretly.
It looked like the little girl had something on her mind. Could it be … lovesickness?
"Sigh …" Ji Ling heaved a long sigh.
She could only hear the six girls beside her sigh in unison, "Sigh …"
Their sighs were deep and long, filled with the sorrow of a young lady.
Then, a burst of laughter followed.
"You … you guys …"
Ji Ling pointed at them, stuttering.
"Hey, what's our new big sister thinking about? Why is she so lost in thought? "
"That's right, our new big sister looks like she's longing for something …"
"What longing? She's obviously lovesickness and wants to get married!"
"Maybe she's thinking about a woman …"
"Nonsense! She must be thinking about a man. "
"Maybe it's that Young Master Yun …"
"It's hard to say … The ancients said that the person a woman can truly remember is never someone who can make her laugh, but someone who can make her angry and cry … It's true."
"Yes, yes. Looks like our new big sister has someone she likes. "
"Who is it? Who is it? Tell us quickly, big sister. We sisters will help you check it out. "
"Yes! Check it out! "
The girls made a ruckus.
Ji Ling's eyebrows shot up. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just thinking about something else … I'm just thinking about my brother. He's been away for so many years and there's been no news of him. I don't know what's going on. I heard that he appeared in Tiantang City more than a year ago but the family has sent so many people to search for him but there's been no news at all … Sigh … "
She heaved a deep sigh at the end of her words.
"Yes, we don't know where Big Brother Ji has gone to … It's so worrying …"
The girl in green who was the big sister could not help sighing softly as well, her eyes filled with longing.
This time, the girls were not joking. They all knew that their big sister was deeply in love with Big Brother Ji. When Big Brother Ji had just disappeared a few years ago, the girls still had the courage to tease her.
However, after so many years without news, no one dared to joke about this longing.
They had thought that they were a match made in heaven, but who would have thought …
"Sigh …" All the women sighed with sincerity.
"Didn't we force the competition to be held in Tiantang City to look for Big Brother Ji?"
"We'll split up and go everywhere these few days."
"Yes, places like the Celestial Prison, Penal Prison, exile, whatever … check them all."
"Yes, check the military as well."
"Check the martial artists within three thousand miles of Tiantang as well."
"This is the most important reason we've come here this time!"
"We must find Sister Lan's sweetheart and get him married!"
"Hee hee hee …"
"You little b * stards!"
Sister Lan's face was flushed as she pretended to hit them. Then, she sighed softly and murmured, "I only hope that he … is safe and sound …"
As she spoke, her eyes reddened.
The girls fell silent as well. Feeling their big sister's deep-rooted longing, their hearts were heavy.
…
When Dong Tianleng left, his expression was extremely interesting.
He was even a little distrustful of this boss he had just acknowledged, looking at Yun Yang suspiciously. His lips quivered, looking like he wanted to curse.
However, he dared not do so.
In his eyes, the leader of the popinjays might do something … Besides, it was rare to meet someone he liked so much …
"If you lose, I'll help you pay ten times the amount of the bet, no matter how much you lose!" Yun Yang frowned. "You don't have the slightest bit of adventurous spirit and you actually want to be a popinjay … That's all you've got!"
"You'll pay ten times the amount if you lose?" Dong Tianleng's eyes widened.
"Hmm, not only will I pay ten times, but I'll be beaten up together with you no matter how badly you're beaten up." Yun Yang said disdainfully, "However, it's impossible for me to lose based on the punching and kicking skills I've taught the little lion!"
The corners of Dong Tianleng's lips began to twitch again.
You're bringing up the punching skills you've taught my lion again …
However, Dong Tianleng was still relieved.
What he wanted was not Yun Yang's wager but Yun Yang's confidence! Since Boss Yun was so confident, did he not have the guts to take the gamble?
Even if he were to be beaten to death, he could not be so cowardly!
"You can't be a popinjay like this." Yun Yang patted Dong Tianleng's shoulder earnestly. "A popinjay must have a fearless spirit."
The two Dong Family guards beside him felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.
Our young master is already a popinjay enough. How do you want him to be more 'fearless'? If he continues to be 'fearless', the whole family would probably be burned down by him …
"Alright! Let's do it! "
Dong Tianleng's red nose started to bleed again in his agitation. "If I win, I'll make the three of them look like pigs tonight! No! More pigs than pigs! "
"What if I lose?"
"If I lose … I'll just be beaten up again. I'm already like this anyway, what's the big deal if I get beaten up again?" Dong Tianleng looked like he was ready to risk it all. "I can't be uglier anyway …"
"If I lost the last time, they made me wear green for a year … Damn it! It's finally time for your father to hold his head high! "
It was only then that Yun Yang realized that Young Master Dong was not dressed in green this time.
His palm was burning hot.
A piece of jade appeared in his palm. Yun Yang stuffed the jade back into his flesh without batting an eyelid, disappearing in an instant. Everything was being carried out under his sleeve.
Dong Tianleng had finally left!
"If I win, I'll celebrate with boss!"
"If I lose, I'll beat you up!"
Dong Tianleng left with these words and left with a hearty laugh.
"How dare you beat me …" Yun Yang snorted. "Your Double-headed Elysian Lion alone can gnaw you to death …"
He returned to his room slowly and took out the jade to have a look.
There were indeed messages flashing on it.
"Traces of the black-clothed men from the Residence of Marshal have been discovered. Currently at … Cirrus House."
The message flashed more than ten times consecutively, showing how urgent it was.
Cirrus House.
Yun Yang's expression changed.
