Chapter 657: Shang Yue: In your second brother-in-law's eyes, you're not even as good as an ant

Shang Hongchen clasped her hands, coldly watching this scene.

Shang Yue seeing that he could no longer pretend, could only loosen his grip on the older sister, not daring to look up at the older sister before him; even if his strength increased and he was no longer the former Shang Yue Xiao Pangzi, he still had a psychological shadow toward this older sister, childhood memories surfacing, yet he dared not look down on the older sister.

"Shang Yue, you've been doing well lately, your cultivation has improved a lot, Elder Sister is very pleased."

"Ahaha, just so-so, not as good as Elder Sister and Second Sister."

Shang Yue knows his limits, but he doesn't dare to show off in front of Elder Sister, or he'll get beaten.

Shang Hongchen glanced at her brother before her; he had changed greatly, become steadier, slimmed down, and now bore a man's aura, no longer the little child who needed protection in everything.

This change signifies that this brother has grown up and can support the family.

In short, Shang Hongchen is very pleased with her brother's change; the improvement in his cultivation and strength is less than the improvement in his overall demeanor, and the more she looks, the more satisfied she is—the once crybaby little brother has grown up, truly grown up.

"You've grown up."

Shang Yue rubbed his head and gave a hehe laugh: "People always grow up, Elder Sister, I'm not a little kid anymore."

"Indeed, you've grown up, no longer a child."

Shang Hongchen thought for a moment; she had left home for a while—three years, or maybe four?

Not having counted carefully, upon reflection she realized she had been away from home that long, while her brother had grown from the little brat, the little fatty, into a man—truly, if one didn't pay attention, one wouldn't notice.

"Elder Sister, what brings you back this time?"

Shang Yue asked timidly; when he returned, he saw his parents sneaking off, and wondered what they were up to.

It turned out they were avoiding Elder Sister.

Had he known earlier, he should have asked his parents and not come back.

Now wanting to leave, it's too late.

"Shang Yue, Elder Sister is in trouble—are you going to help her?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Yue thought it was disastrous, he was doomed.

"This matter is not easy to handle."

"Cough, Elder Sister, my little brother's strength is weak; I'm afraid I can't help you. How about this: I'll go fetch Father to help you—Father is a master of Condensed Dan, he can surely settle your affair."

"Elder Sister, you don't need to see me off; I'm going to find Father right now."

After taking two steps forward, Shang Yue couldn't move.

His shoulders were pressed down again.

His sneaky escape plan was seen through; he couldn't get away.

Shang Hongchen looked at her brother before her with a grin; everyone would play tricks on her, truly he is her good brother.

Back then, Shang Yue wouldn't dare do this; seeing his own fear, he wouldn't have time to react, let alone act so recklessly.

Over these years, he has truly become clever.

"You wouldn't be thinking of sneaking off, would you?"

Shang Yue's heart jumped; he immediately turned back to explain: "Where... Elder Sister, my dear Elder Sister, you are my most beloved Elder Sister, how could I..."

Shang Hongchen stared at him straight, without a hint of a smile.

Shang Yue's heart pounded wildly; indeed, he still couldn't face Elder Sister directly.

"Elder Sister, tell me, what exactly is it? If I can do it, I can help you."

Only then did Shang Hongchen reveal a smile, taking Shang Yue's hand affectionately: "It's simple; you can definitely help me."

Then, Shang Hongchen gave a brief description.

After hearing it, Shang Yue was about to be dumbfounded.

"Elder Sister, you want me to go to Longshe Mountain to help you rescue your master?"

"That's Longshe Mountain, not some evil place."

"Everyone in Longshe City knows that place is a forbidden zone."

"Without permission, no one may approach; Shang Yue could approach, but after coming down the mountain he never went back up."

"Those days left a deep memory; he doesn't want to go through it again."

"All these years we've been avoiding Longshe Mountain, avoiding the Second Brother-in-law, avoiding the Second Sister, and you want me to go up the mountain to find trouble? Isn't that courting death?"

"He had just enjoyed a few days of happy life, and Elder Sister comes to ruin it—how unreasonable!"

"Right, our parents won't help me; you're my younger brother, you'll definitely help me, right?"

Shang Hongchen's words brook no objection; once decided, it cannot be changed.

Shang Yue wanted to cry; at this moment he only wanted to weep.

"Elder Sister, can we not go?"

"What do you say?"

"Elder Sister, do you know the danger of Longshe Mountain?"

Shang Hongchen nodded: "Of course I know; I'm not someone who hasn't been there."

Shang Yue shook his head: "No, you don't know; the present Longshe Mountain is not the same as before; the formations there have been upgraded who knows how many times—it's completely different now."

"If we don't inform Second Sister beforehand and try to go up, we might suffer."

"Then you go tell Second Sister now; we'll set off immediately." Shang Hongchen acted swiftly and decisively, not wanting to waste time.

Shang Yue was speechless.

His meaning was not to go, rather than not to go now.

"Elder Sister, why don't you go yourself?"

"He can't help with this matter."

"He's not an idiot; this matter clearly has a problem—Second Brother-in-law has detained True Person Tianlian, surely he has his reasons."

"What he should do is not doubt Second Brother-in-law, but trust him and assist him."

Anyone who opposes the second sister's husband is Shang Yue's enemy.

Even if this enemy is the eldest sister, there is no exception.

"What do you say?"

Shang Hongchen crossed arms and coldly stared at Shang Yue.

Shang Yue took a deep breath and helplessly said: "I can accompany you up the mountain, but I won't help you."

This is his last bottom line, and also his principle.

Neither side helps, nor interferes in their affairs, letting them resolve it themselves.

The eldest sister and second sister, he chose the second sister's husband.

"Are you that afraid of Chen Chuyang?"

Shang Yue explained: "It's not fear, but respect, eldest sister. You're not me, you haven't seen how formidable the second sister's husband is, so you don't understand my feelings."

"The second sister's husband won't lay a hand on you, because you're the eldest sister, you're an elder. If he did lay a hand on you, just one glance from him would make you immediately kneel and beg for mercy."

"The eldest sister's petite frame isn't even enough for a single glance from the second sister's husband."

"That's because the second sister's husband doesn't quarrel with the eldest sister, and partly because of the second sister."

"Otherwise, regarding the eldest sister's past broken engagement, the second sister's husband wouldn't give her a pleasant look."

Shang Yue doesn't want, because of the eldest sister's relation, to make himself disliked by the second sister's husband—it would be a loss not worth the gain.

"He who knows the times is outstanding."

He, Shang Yue, stands on the second sister's husband's side, forever supporting him.

"Have you been deceived by him? I admit he's formidable—could a single glance really make me kneel?"

Shang Hongchen simply doesn't believe this; it's too fantastical.

"That's not how you brag."

Shang Yue glanced at the eldest sister and scoffed: "Eldest sister, with your strength lacking even a condensed pellet, you're utterly unqualified to face the second sister's husband."

"A condensed pellet, to the second sister's husband, is no different from an ant."

"And you, my dear eldest sister, you're not even as good as an ant—how could you possibly negotiate terms with my second sister's husband?"

"Forget it, eldest sister. You'd better return to the Heavenly Heart Sect; I'll remain the young master of the Shang Clan, and we'll keep to ourselves."

"No way!" Shang Hongchen can't go back; she must make a trip to Longshe Shan to see whether Chen Chuyang is really that formidable.
