At this moment, Ba Jie, who was completely oblivious to everyone else and only had eyes for 'Miao Yi', felt as if he had been pricked by a needle. He slowly turned to look at Yue Yao, his mouth slowly agape. He pointed at her and said, "You … you … you …"
His eyes were filled with disbelief. Y-y-you stuttered for a long time and still couldn't come up with a conclusion.
Yue Yao's voice suddenly changed, becoming like the chirping of a silver bell. It was truly the voice of a woman, and with a face full of anticipation, she called out, "Second Brother?"
Ba Jie breathed heavily, his expression twitching as he asked, "You … you … you are Little Sister?"
Most outsiders wouldn't even know how the siblings used to address each other. In that instant, Miao Yi and Yue Yao were able to confirm Ba Jie's identity.
Yue Yao's eyes immediately reddened as tears streamed down her cheeks like pearls from a broken necklace. She quickly nodded and said, "I am Little Sister! Are you really Second Brother? "
Ba Jie was also crying as he sobbed, "You liar! How did that silly little girl Little Sister grow up to be so beautiful? Don't you dare lie to this humble monk! This humble monk's eyes are as sharp as a torch. No lies can escape this humble monk's eyes! "
"I'm happy to be this beautiful. None of your business!" Yue Yao also wiped away her tears and whimpered, "Second Brother, don't be biased towards me. You're a fatty. How did you become so skinny?"
"This is all because I'm a vegetarian every day. If it weren't for the fact that I love myself and eat some meat when I'm free, I might have gotten even skinnier …" Ba Jie spread his arms wide and hugged Yue Yao. The two of them didn't dare to cry too loudly for fear of alerting the others, so they sobbed together.
Even though she had already fallen into Ba Jie's embrace and was certain that he was her Second Brother, Yue Yao still felt like she was dreaming. She couldn't believe that she could meet her long-lost Second Brother under such circumstances. She lay on Ba Jie's shoulder and whimpered, "How can you prove that you are my Second Brother?"
"Of course I can. I have a way to prove that not only am I your Second Brother, but I can also prove that you are my Little Sister." Ba Jie's tears streamed down his cheeks as he said, "My Little Sister has a red birthmark on her butt. Take off your pants and let me see."
As soon as he said this, Miao Yi pursed his lips and his eyes reddened.
Yan Beihong had never imagined that he would be able to overhear such a secret. He quickly looked up at the sky and pretended that he hadn't heard anything. In his mind, however, he was imagining how beautiful it would be if Fairy Yue Yao had a red birthmark on her butt.
"Aiya!" Ba Jie, who had just been ruthlessly stomped on by Yue Yao, let out a strange cry before Yue Yao abruptly pushed him away. Wiping away her tears, she glared at him and said, "Lao San, why did you step on me? I, your second brother, am already pitiful enough. I became a monk from a young age, yet you still have the heart to torture me? "
"Shameless!" Yue Yao cursed angrily. How dare he reveal such a private matter in front of outsiders! How was a woman supposed to face others?
But in the next instant, she pounced over and hugged Ba Jie, sobbing, "Second Brother, it's really you! How did you become a monk?"
Even though Ba Jie had exposed her secret, it was precisely because it was her most private matter that she was certain that the person before her was indeed her second brother.
"Do you think I want to be a monk? Back in Changfeng Ancient City, that bald donkey Qi Jie used a great technique to deceive the three of us. After he abducted me, I found out that he was a monk. He brought me straight to the Realm of High Paradise. It was useless even if I wanted to resist! Second Brother kept trying to escape, only to be caught again and again. What a miserable life … "Ba Jie recounted his past sorrowfully.
"Second Brother, I miss you and Big Brother so much!"
"I miss you too! Lao San, since when did you become so beautiful? How about I renounce asceticism and marry you as my wife? That way, we won't have to be apart anymore! "
"Shameless!" Yue Yao pushed him away again and pointed at Ba Jie, who was still trying to hug her. Smiling through her tears, she scolded, "Stay away from me! Don't touch me!"
Only now did she seem to recall that men and women should not touch each other. She even suspected that Ba Jie was trying to take advantage of her earlier. However, this was in line with Second Brother's style. When she was young, she knew that Second Brother would peep at the widows on the neighboring streets as they bathed. He even snuck into a brothel with his friends. Just now, he was trying to take advantage of her.
Ba Jie laughed as he wiped his tears. Then, he abruptly turned to Yan Beihong and asked, "You still haven't replied to me!"
Yue Yao stared at Yan Beihong as well.
Yan Beihong glanced at Miao Yi's reaction, then shrugged and smiled bitterly. "Did you get the wrong person? I really don't know what you're talking about. I'm almost a hundred years old, and I'm from Mulberry Earth City of the Mao Branch. My original name is Yan Debiao. I was once a military commander in Mulberry Earth City. After that, I killed the City Lord's concubine and fled. That's why I changed my name to 'Miao Yi' and embarked on the path of cultivation. If you don't believe me, you can go to Mulberry Earth City and ask around. Perhaps you can even find a portrait of me there. "
He was telling the truth. His original name was indeed Yan Debiao. While he was fleeing, he saw a magnificent rainbow hanging in the northern sky. Filled with ambition, he changed his name to Yan Beihong. In any case, even if there were still people alive in Mulberry Earth City, they wouldn't know that he had changed his name to Yan Beihong. Even if the two of them investigated, they wouldn't be able to find anything.
Yue Yao and Ba Jie exchanged glances. 'Could it really be that his name was' Miao Yi '?
But of all the names he could, he just had to change his name to Miao Yi. Wasn't this too much of a coincidence? ' Ba Jie asked suspiciously, "Why did you change your name to Miao Yi?"
Yan Beihong smiled bitterly and said, "Back when I was still in the secular world, my journey to escape was arduous and I almost gave up. Then, I saw the grass by the side of the road, the weak yet struggling to survive. I was touched, so I changed my name to 'Miao Yi' to encourage myself. I didn't mean anything else."
Since he had explained his origins so clearly, he wasn't afraid of investigating! Yue Yao and Ba Jie were instantly disappointed. 'So that's the reason. No wonder he doesn't look like Miao Yi at all.
'Could there really be such a coincidence?' Fairy Hong Chen kept glancing at Miao Yi from time to time.
'Perhaps it's just a bystander seeing things!' Yue Yao and Ba Jie both overlooked Miao Yi, who was standing not too far away from them. However, Fairy Hong Chen had witnessed everything that had transpired just now. She noticed that Yan Beihong would steal glances at Miao Yi from time to time as he spoke. Furthermore, Miao Yi's fists were tightly clenched, and his eyes were reddened from his emotions. This made her feel even more suspicious! 'Why is he so excited when Yue Yao and Second Brother are reuniting?
'Dowry!' Fairy Hong Chen suddenly recalled Yue Yao mentioning that 'Yan Beihong' had given her a dowry. She fiddled with the storage bangle in her slender hand.
Why would an ordinary person ask Yue Yao to give her a dowry? Fairy Hong Chen's eyes flickered as she fell into deep thought.
After confirming that this Miao Yi wasn't the Miao Yi he knew, Ba Jie turned to Yue Yao and opened up his arms. "Ol 'Third, Second Brother missed you so much. Give me another hug!"
"Go to hell!" Yue Yao gritted her teeth and kicked him in the stomach.
Rubbing his stomach, Ba Jie grimaced and said, "Ol 'Third, I've seen you naked before. What's wrong with a hug?"
"You're still talking! You perverted monk! "Yue Yao was instantly enraged.
She was no longer the little girl she used to be. How could a grown woman like her endure having her pants pulled down and her buttocks peeked at? She couldn't even bring herself to cry. All she felt was embarrassment and anger. A crescent chakram shot out from her fingers and instantly hovered above Ba Jie's bald head.
Ba Jie stared at the sharp edge of the blade with his eyes crossed. He shrunk his neck and laughed dryly, "I was just joking. I was just joking. Can't you tell that I'm praising you for your beauty? Why can't you take my teasing? I'm a monk and I'm not lecherous. No matter how pretty you look, you're nothing but a skeleton in my eyes!"
"Stop fooling around. Someone's coming. You two, come with me. I have something to say to you two," Fairy Hong Chen said.
"Ol 'Third, this must be your Senior Sister, Fairy Hong Chen?" Ba Jie immediately walked over and put on a dignified expression. Clasping his palms together, he said, "I've long heard of Fairy Hong Chen's great name …"
Before he could finish, Yue Yao noticed that he was getting closer and closer to Fairy Hong Chen. She immediately interrupted, "Stay away from my Senior Sister!"
Even without her reminder, Fairy Hong Chen had already subconsciously taken a step back. She had already seen how shameless this monk could be. How could she not be on guard?
Yue Yao suddenly turned to Miao Yi and Yan Beihong and said, "I hope you two will pretend you didn't see or hear anything about what happened just now. If word of this reaches the ears of others, you two should know the consequences!"
Yan Beihong shot a glance at Miao Yi, then followed suit.
Before she left, Yue Yao turned to look at Miao Yi again. She suddenly recalled something. This guy only had two Geotranscendence Bangles on his wrist, including the female corpse. Didn't that mean he had given all of them to her?
Miao Yi silently watched as they left.
On the other hand, Yan Beihong sighed and shook his head. He was secretly amazed. He never thought that Miao Yi's younger brother and sister would have such powerful backgrounds. As the big brother, how could Miao Yi endure this?! This little brother of his wasn't the type to live off a woman!
Outside the Moon Gate, Gu Sanzheng had returned. Zhao Fei and the others were worried about him being taken away, so they followed him in as well.
Miao Yi tried his best to restrain his emotions, then asked Gu Sanzheng, "What did that Minister of the Left summon you for?"
Gu Sanzheng shook his head and said, "It's strange. It's about the time I was being hunted down by the Yao cultivators. They kept saying that I was some 'Niu Youde', but I just realized it now. It turns out that 'Niu Youde' was the one who committed the murder in the Western Star Sea's Brass Gong Fort. That Hei Langjun put me through so much trouble!"
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei exchanged glances, then snuck a glance at Miao Yi. They couldn't help but laugh inside. However, Gu Sanzheng was his enemy at the time, so it wouldn't be too much to do anything to him.
Miao Yi felt a little guilty as well. However, it wasn't convenient to explain this matter here, so he decided to leave it for another time. He immediately asked, "Then they didn't do anything to you?"
"Come to think of it, it's quite a coincidence. Back when the murder in Brass Gong Fort happened, a Yao General from the Western Star Sea happened to be a guest at my Sword Deviate Sect. He stayed for a long time, and my master sent me to guard the gates for him. I even had a conversation with that Yao General, so I had a deep impression of him. He was the best alibi I could find. They will naturally verify it with him later. That should be enough to clear my name! " Gu Sanzheng heaved a sigh of relief. Truth be told, he was quite frightened just now as well. The Minister of the Left's aura was simply too powerful. He could destroy him with just a flick of his finger.
"That's good to hear!" Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief as well. It was good that everything was fine. Earlier, he was still wondering if he should admit to Gu Sanzheng if he was in trouble. Now, it looked like he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Sikong Wuwei couldn't help but ask Gu Sanzheng about his experiences in the Western Constellations Palace.
After chatting for a while, the group dispersed. Miao Yi's thoughts quickly drifted back to his Little Two and Little Three. Feeling a little melancholic, he absentmindedly left the Western Constellations Palace for a stroll.
