Chapter 151

Just as Sima Sanniang was asking about Yan Hongye's well-being, the spear-bearing youth beside them gave a light cough:

"Hongye, this must be the famous Sima Sanniang. Seeing you today, it is truly better to see once than to hear a hundred times."

He looked around and sighed:

"I didn't expect our family to have such a solid foundation. It seems you don't need to open any clinic from now on; we can just live off our parents at home."

Suddenly, the mother and daughter were stunned on the spot. The former had an indescribable expression on her face, and the latter was both helpless and angry, not knowing what to say.

"Hongye, you and this boy..." Sima Sanniang stopped mid-sentence.

"Mother, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. He is Zhuge Liuyun."

After Sima Sanniang heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief:

"So it's that crybaby from before. Now that he's grown up, he's actually learned to tease his elders."

"Because I was sad. Back then, you personally sent me to my grandmaster to study the Dao and learn techniques. You clearly said you and my master would visit me often, but after so many years, you didn't visit me once, and now you don't even recognize me."

The spear-bearing youth sighed lightly:

"Sigh, my mistress also knows that I loved to cry since I was young. Thinking of these things, I can't help but want to throw myself into Junior Sister's arms and cry bitterly, venting the sadness and pain that are hard to tell in my heart."

"You brat, still wanting to take advantage of Hongye!" Sima Sanniang kicked out.

Zhuang Buran flashed and instantly hid behind Yan Hongye:

"Long time no see, my mistress hasn't changed. You have both a gentle and kind side and a heroic side."

"Hongye, move aside. I want to see how much ability this brat has learned from his grandmaster."

"Mistress, my relationship with Junior Sister is even closer than you want. She will definitely not move aside and let you deal with me."

Sima Sanniang was stunned and immediately stood in place, not knowing what she was thinking.

Yan Hongye saw that her mother had been led astray by someone again, glared at the seemingly innocent spear-bearing youth, and then gave a silent look:

"Mother, this guy's Daoist techniques are not refined, and his martial arts are barely okay, but in terms of lightness skills, he has practiced to an extreme level."

"If you want to deal with him, we must do it together."

As the words fell, she turned and swept her leg, kicking toward Zhuang Buran's waist.

"Junior Sister, you've gone too far!"

But the spear-bearing youth appeared on the pavilion in an instant and sighed:

"Clearly we are on the same side."

"Cut the crap. I have wanted to beat you up for a long time. It just so happens that you know my mother's medical skills. As long as you have one breath left, she will definitely be able to save you."

Yan Hongye jumped up and attacked Zhuang Buran one after another.

Seeing this, Sima Sanniang had a trace of a smile on her face inexplicably, only because after her daughter practiced the 'Xuanxin Profound Mystery Technique', her worries became heavier and heavier, and her temperament became colder and colder. She didn't know how long it had been since she saw her playing around without any scruples.

"Hongye, Mother will set up an array. Today, let's deal with him together and let him understand what it means to respect elders and care for his junior sister."

A quarter of an hour later.

The spear-bearing youth stood leisurely on the pavilion, with the slightly helpless mother and daughter standing below.

Sima Sanniang said with some surprise and slight relief:

"Hongye, I only now know that you didn't exaggerate. This boy's lightness skill has indeed reached a level that is unpredictable, and his array attainments are not shallow. He was able to subtly reverse the array I set up. It seems he has been very diligent and focused on practicing all these years."

Yan Hongye said expressionlessly:

"He hid it so deeply. He lived with me for a year and only exposed his lightness skills. It wasn't until now that he showed such array attainments. I thought he had only practiced the way of talisman arrays to the level of entering the hall."

"What, this brat lived with you for a year?" Sima Sanniang's focus was clearly different.

"Mother, don't be led astray by Zhuge Liuyun again and again. He just lived in my Bingxin Caotang."

Sima Sanniang heard Yan Hongye's words and finally let go of her tense heart.

"Mistress, it's getting late. Shouldn't you cook? Before Junior Sister came, she said she missed the food you cooked very much." Zhuang Buran said lightly.

"Hmph, I see it's not Hongye who misses it, it's clearly you, you brat."

Sima Sanniang glared at him, then said softly to Yan Hongye:

"Mother will go cook a few small dishes you like first. There are some snacks in the pavilion; you can pad your stomach first."

After she finished speaking, she shouted toward the spear-bearing youth:

"Liuyun, why don't you come over and help me?"

"Mistress, are you sure you want me to help you?" Zhuang Buran smiled.

Yan Hongye saw her mother's surprised and puzzled expression and said faintly:

"Mother, others cooking and burning food is at most unpalatable or poisonous, but if he cooks, he is aiming for mutual destruction. If you don't want Despair Villa to be destroyed, it's best not to call him for help."

"Having said that, he lived in Bingxin Caotang for so long, and you were still the one cooking!" Sima Sanniang suddenly thought of something.

Zhuang Buran didn't wait for Yan Hongye to speak and said helplessly:

"Mistress, actually the disciple wants to do it, but my strength doesn't allow it!"

"Good boy, when I sent you up the mountain, you actually said you would learn Daoist techniques and martial arts well and protect your junior sister." Sima Sanniang gritted her teeth:

"Is this how you protect her?"

Zhuang Buran immediately hid behind Yan Hongye and said in a voice that was not too loud or too quiet:

"Junior Sister, Mistress is really angry. Help your senior brother plead for mercy, otherwise, I definitely won't see tomorrow's sun."

"Rest assured, at most you'll just be hungry and kicked out of Despair Villa." Yan Hongye had a trace of a smile in her eyes.

"What will it take for you to help?" The spear-bearing youth said immediately.

Yan Hongye's eyes were filled with deeper smiles:

"Simply promise me three things."

Zhuang Buran looked suspicious:

"Let's say it first, there are eight or nine out of ten things in the world that I can't do."

"Just do three things within your power." Yan Hongye smiled.

"Fine." The spear-bearing youth looked very reluctant.

Yan Hongye raised her hand:

"As a practitioner of the Dao, the most important thing is a vow. Let's strike palms to vow!"

"As you wish."

With a "slap", Yan Hongye continued to hold up her slender, white, and tender palm:

"Three things, naturally require three palm strikes."

The two's behavior, ignoring others, made Sima Sanniang's expression increasingly strange, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Mother, you also saw it. From now on, he will be working like an ox or a horse for me." Yan Hongye said with a smile.

Sima Sanniang said meaningfully:

"Hongye, this brat's temperament has completely changed after growing up. The honest and reliable child from before can't be seen at all now. Don't be fooled by him."

"Mistress, you are my own mistress!" The spear-bearing youth cried out in injustice.

"Seeing you, I can't help but think of that hateful old thing, Yan Chixia." Sima Sanniang was very angry:

"Sure enough, like master, like disciple."

After saying this, she turned to cook, and the three young men standing around followed.

"Junior Sister, I think it's because Master taught you the 'Xuanxin Profound Mystery Technique' that Mistress treats Master like an enemy." Zhuang Buran shook his head.

"That's right. When my father learned that I had practiced this martial art, we started arguing endlessly." Yan Hongye looked sideways at the spear-bearing youth:

"I know you are willing to come to the Forget-Love Forest with me, you must not have given up the idea of learning the 'Xuanxin Profound Mystery Technique'."

She said word by word:

"My first thing is that you are not allowed to practice the 'Xuanxin Profound Mystery Technique'."

Zhuang Buran's eyes darkened:

"You really are my good junior sister, it's just a pity..."

"Pity what?" Yan Hongye frowned:

"We just made a vow, you wouldn't want to go back on your word, would you?"

"I consumed too much energy just now and am a bit hungry. I need to eat some snacks to pad my stomach." The spear-bearing youth walked into the pavilion on his own.

"Zhuge Liuyun, don't play dumb with me." Yan Hongye followed.

"Fine, fine, fine, whatever you say, it is." Zhuang Buran nodded and agreed.

"Stop playing the fool here. Can you do it or not?" Yan Hongye stared at the spear-bearing youth.

"No problem at all." Zhuang Buran nodded and agreed.
