The two of them heard the sound of footsteps and turned around in unison. However, the footsteps had stopped at the corner, and they didn't see anyone.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er walked out. The two girls looked at Lord Liu, who was hiding in the corner, then at Miao Yi in the hall.
They had also heard the commotion and came out to see what was going on. However, when they heard Xue'Er say, 'Milord has returned,' Lord Liu, who had rushed out, slowed down his pace and hid in the corner, not daring to come out.
Miao Yi quietly looked at the corner. Hiding in the corner, Lord Liu was biting his lip, his jade-like fingers intertwined together.
After waiting for a while, neither of them responded.
In the end, Miao Yi waved his hand and shook off Yan Beihong's arm. Then, he calmly walked towards the corner.
He was also nervous, but he could feel his little sister's difficulties. When she was in trouble, as her big brother, he naturally and resolutely walked out. This was the responsibility that a big brother like him should have!
Hearing the heavy footsteps approaching him, Lord Liu's breathing quickened. He was so nervous that he wanted to find a place to hide.
The light in front of him changed slightly. When he looked up, he saw Miao Yi already standing before him. It was indeed the person he had mistaken for 'Yan Beihong'.
"Milord!" Qian'Er and Xue'Er bowed, then stepped back and stood to the side.
Brother and sister exchanged glances. Miao Yi revealed a faint smile and said casually, "Little Sister!"
Yue Yao's eyes instantly reddened. Tears welled up in her eyes as she bit her lip.
Miao Yi turned to Qian'Er and Xue'Er and said, "This is my Third Sister. Don't ask for her name or background. From now on, just call her Lord San."
"Understood!" Qian'Er and Xue'Er answered. They then turned to Yue Yao and bowed. "Lord San!"
However, Yue Yao didn't appreciate the gesture. With tears streaming down her face, she said with a trembling voice, "What proof do you have to prove that you are my big brother?"
Miao Yi didn't say anything else. He walked up to her and reached out to grab her delicate ear. It was a rather unique method of grabbing ears with just three fingers. He pulled her ear upwards, then dragged her away.
Yue Yao grimaced in pain. She lifted half of her body and stood on her tiptoes. She sucked in a breath of cold air as Miao Yi grabbed her by the ear and dragged her out from the corner.
Qian'Er, Xue'Er, and Yan Beihong were completely dumbfounded. Yan Beihong, in particular, knew full well that this was the disciple of the Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun. Who would dare to do such a thing?
Unexpectedly, after dragging Yue Yao to the main hall, Miao Yi let go. Yue Yao immediately threw herself into Miao Yi's arms and hugged him tightly. She wrapped her arms around his neck and immediately burst into tears, "Big Brother!"
There was no need for him to produce any proof, just this tug was enough. When she was young, she was disobedient and followed her second brother to get into trouble. Every time, she would be pulled back like this. This was her eldest brother's special technique. Not only would it hurt, but it would also make it impossible for her to escape.
All these years, this feeling could only be found in dreams. How many years had it been? He was experiencing this feeling again.
Yan Beihong, Qian'Er, and Xue'Er exchanged glances. This method of recognizing one's kin was truly unique.
"Big Brother … I couldn't find you … I thought … you were dead …" Yue Yao's body trembled as she sobbed. She laid her head on Miao Yi's shoulder and sobbed uncontrollably. She cried so hard that even her snot and tears were streaming down her face. A peerless beauty like her was about to collapse from crying.
Miao Yi closed his eyes and wore a smile on his face. He looked calm, but his lips were tightly pressed together as he gently stroked Yue Yao's back. It was a silent comfort.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and let out a long breath. His gaze was calm. His gaze was calm as he patted Yue Yao's back and said, "Alright, Little Sister. Don't cry anymore. You'll look ugly if you keep crying."
Such familiar words. This was what Big Brother used to say when she cried as a child. And so, Yue Yao cried even harder.
Miao Yi pushed Yue Yao a few times, but Yue Yao refused to let go.
Miao Yi smiled at Yan Beihong and said, "Big Brother Yan, I'm sorry. This girl has always been a crybaby."
"Haha! I didn't see anything. Anyway, I still have something to do. I'll be going back first. " Yan Beihong laughed heartily and left with a flick of his sleeves. He knew that the siblings had just reunited and had a lot to talk about. As a guest, he would undoubtedly be disturbing them if he stayed here any longer.
"Help me send them off," Miao Yi said to Qian'Er and Xue'Er. He was being held back by Yue Yao and couldn't get away.
"There's no need for that!" Yan Beihong said, then flew into the sky.
Miao Yi then said, "Go and stand guard outside. If there's nothing important, don't let anyone disturb us."
Xue'Er hurriedly replied and ran out.
The clothes on Miao Yi's shoulders were already wet from her tears. His expression was calm, but his eyes were filled with boundless gentleness. He gently patted Yue Yao's back as memories of his childhood flashed through his mind.
Qian'Er watched enviously from the side. She had never seen Miao Yi look at her like this before. Just looking at him warmed her heart. She stood quietly to the side, not wanting to disturb him.
Miao Yi didn't know how long he had been standing there, his mind still immersed in his childhood. Suddenly, Qian'Er transmitted her voice to him, "Milord! Milord!"
Miao Yi abruptly opened his eyes and was shocked to find that the sky had already darkened. He estimated that he had been standing there for four hours.
"Milord, Third Master has fallen asleep," Qian'Er came over to remind him.
Miao Yi was taken aback. He noticed that Yue Yao's breathing was even. She really had fallen asleep.
"Ol 'Third, wake up. Ol' Third …" Miao Yi patted her back and called out to her a few times, but realized that he couldn't wake her up at all. She was sleeping extraordinarily well.
For a cultivator to be able to sleep this soundly, it was clear how peacefully they slept. It was as though she could relax so much just by lying in Miao Yi's embrace.
Miao Yi's heart ached a little when he saw her like this. She must have been holding back her emotions for a very long time, and now she was crying her heart out. Otherwise, she wouldn't be sleeping so soundly.
Miao Yi had no intention of forcefully waking Yue Yao up again. He pried Yue Yao's arm away from his neck, picked her up by the waist, and walked towards the dormitory.
As soon as they reached the dormitory, Qian'Er quickly smoothed out the mattress that Yue Yao had messed up earlier.
Miao Yi gently placed Yue Yao on the mattress, then carefully placed a pillow under her head. He then personally moved her feet and helped her take off her boots and socks.
Qian'Er wanted to do this kind of work for him, but Miao Yi waved his hand and gestured for her to do it himself. "Fetch some water."
Soon, Qian'Er returned with a basin of water and a white towel draped over her arm.
Miao Yi reached into the water and invoked his arts to adjust the temperature. He then threw the towel into the water to wet it and wring it dry. He then turned around and picked up the towel to carefully wipe Yue Yao's tear-stained face.
After wiping her face clean, Miao Yi picked up Yue Yao's jade-like feet and placed them on his lap, carefully wiping them clean.
Beside him, Qian'Er giggled and said, "Milord, not only is Third Young Master beautiful, even her feet are gorgeous."
"Of course. Just look at whose sister she is." Miao Yi was rather pleased with himself. He then added, "This might have something to do with her physique. She was born with the Phoenix Physique, which makes her as pure as ice and as pure as jade. She won't be easily corrupted by external forces. A person with this kind of physique is destined to be a dragon or a phoenix. However, she wasn't this beautiful when she was younger … Perhaps it's because she was too poor when she was with me. As her big brother, I didn't take good care of her … When this girl was young, she would often fall asleep the moment she got tired of playing. I would always help her clean up like this, so I won't be doing it again. After all, she's a big girl now. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to do it again. "
Qian'Er nodded and said, "I will take care of Third Young Master from now on."
Miao Yi helped Yue Yao clean up, then placed her legs on the mattress once more. He then pulled the blanket over Yue Yao's body.
Qian'Er couldn't help but feel envious of Miao Yi's considerate manner. This big brother of hers simply loved his little sister to the core. How nice would it be if she had a big brother like him?
Miao Yi sat on the mattress and quietly stared at Yue Yao for a while. Looking at Yue Yao's beautiful sleeping face, he reached out and gently caressed her cheek, then pinched her nose. He then stood up and said to Qian'Er, "Stay here and watch over her tonight. This girl has a habit of kicking off her blanket."
"Understood!" Qian'Er chuckled. "Milord is so good to Third Young Master."
Miao Yi smiled bitterly, then shook his head and left...
Yue Yao slept all the way until noon the next day before she woke up. She had never had such a good sleep since she stepped into the cultivation world. As she stretched lazily, she suddenly remembered where she was. She quickly got up and surveyed her surroundings.
Qian'Er came over and smiled. "Third Young Master, you're awake?"
Yue Yao asked, "Why am I sleeping here?"
Qian'Er smiled. "Third Young Master, don't you remember? You fell asleep on Milord's body yesterday. After that, Milord was the one who carried you in. He personally cleaned your face, washed your feet, and even tucked you in with your blanket. Milord said that when Third Young Master was young, he would often help you clean up like this after you fell asleep from playing. Milord is so good to Third Young Master. I'm so envious of him. "
Yue Yao looked at her jade-like feet. Her jade-like toes twitched. When she thought about how a grown man had touched them, her cheeks flushed red. She muttered, "Big Brother is really too much. I'm not a kid anymore."
Qian'Er nodded. "Milord said that he can't help you clean up like this anymore. He said that you've grown up, and it won't be appropriate for you to do this anymore."
Yue Yao bent her knees and hugged her toes. She humphed and asked, "Where did Big Brother go?"
Qian'Er replied, "Milord is outside discussing some matters with someone. He told me that when you wake up, you shouldn't go out of the sleeping quarters and meet with outsiders. He said that with your status, it's not appropriate for you to show your face here. That's right, Milord even personally cooked some appetizers. He said that they were your favorite when you were young and that you should eat them when you wake up. We haven't tasted the food that Milord personally cooked. Milord is so good to Third Young Master. "
Yue Yao recalled the taste from her childhood memories. Her eyes lit up, and she quickly dressed and washed up.
After tidying up, she quickly followed Qian'Er to the dining hall.
The gauze on the dining table was removed, and a few appetizers were placed delicately on the table. There weren't any good dishes, but rather vulgar ones. There were coleslaw pig's ears, tongue, and other dishes made from pig offal.
