Chapter 257: The Troubled Brothers’ Reunion

Even though she was asking Ye Shiyuan for help, she still maintained that kind of disgusting attitude.

Ye Shiyuan had returned this time precisely for this matter.

"Then why not think of a way to steal them back? If you cannot do it, I can."

Bai He felt that he was quite skilled at this kind of thing.

"Host, have you forgotten that you get discovered every time?"

Bai He was speechless.

Even if he got discovered every time, the outcome was not always that bad.

"Master, do you remember your parents?"

Bai He hesitated for a moment, then shook his head. "I do not remember. Everything before I came to Lingguang Sect has already been completely forgotten."

It was not that Bai He did not want to say it, but the memories transmitted to him only included what happened after arriving at Lingguang Sect.

There was absolutely nothing from before that time.

Even Bai He suspected whether he had been born by jumping out of a stone, naturally this large from the very beginning.

"That is really good."

"How is that good?"

"Master will not remember many unpleasant things. Actually Master, once one enters the path of cultivation, it takes a very long time for a person to truly integrate into the cultivation path. Even I cannot do that."

Some cultivators, unable to watch their loved ones leave them, will try every possible method to keep them alive, falling into the demonic path, or even ending in complete annihilation.

Ye Shiyuan’s attachments, compared to those people, were considered very few.

"Shiyuan, can you tell me what kind of person your mother was?"

"Alright."

If it were anyone else, Ye Shiyuan would never have said it.

But he was willing to tell Bai He about these things, and even felt happy that he was willing to listen to him speak.

...

In a dazed state.

Bai He opened his eyes.

He had been woken up by the noise outside.

It was loud and chaotic, and his head hurt.

Early in the morning, can they not let someone sleep properly?

"Host, the sun is already shining on your butt, you woke up late."

Is that so?

Bai He rubbed his eyes and only heard the noise outside growing louder and louder.

He looked out from the second floor window toward the street.

It was fine not to look, but one glance was enough to shock him.

There were so many people.

And all of them looked like officials.

A carriage was lowered, and a person stepped out from inside.

He wore luxurious embroidered robes, and every gesture carried nobility.

The green jade pendant at his waist looked like something worth an unimaginable fortune.

"Host, you’re doing it again. You really should not keep focusing on that."

He did not want to focus on it either, but he just could not help it.

This extremely noble looking man was completely different from the drunk man he had seen last night as if they were two entirely different people.

"Ye Xingyun?"

"Yes, Host. He is very likely here to look for Ye Shiyuan."

Isn’t that obvious? Otherwise, why would he leave a perfectly good mansion and come all the way here?

Bai He thought for a moment and still decided to open the door and go outside.

Just then, he saw Ye Xingyun.

He was standing at the entrance of Ye Shiyuan’s room.

Just as he was about to open the door and go in, he suddenly walked toward him instead and grabbed his hand tightly.

His tone was extremely excited and his bright eyes looked as if he had found his beloved doll.

"Fairy sister."

Huh?

He had said that when he was drunk last night, fine.

But now he was completely sober and still saying it.

"Let go. Who is your fairy sister?"

"You look exactly like the fairy sister in my dream. Fairy sister, so you are here..."

Although Ye Xingyun was slightly younger than Ye Shiyuan, he was actually already twenty years old, even older than Bai He.

Being called "sister" by him was something he truly could not accept.

Moreover, he was a man and Ye Shiyuan’s master.

Bai He coughed lightly and said, "I am not your fairy sister. Stop calling me randomly. Also, I am not even eighteen this year and I’m a man, do you understand?"

"Then you are fairy little sister."

Bai He: ...

At that moment, the door to Ye Shiyuan’s room opened.

Bai He looked at Ye Shiyuan, then at Ye Xingyun still holding his hand.

He tried to pull it back, but his grip was far too strong.

"Ye Xingyun, let go at once."

Ye Xingyun obediently released Bai He’s hand.

"Big brother."

"Get lost."

Ye Shiyuan uttered those two words, pulled Bai He to his side, and then closed the door.

The entire series of actions was simple, direct, and decisive.

Bai He have seen it clearly that when Ye Xingyun heard what Ye Shiyuan said, he did not get angry.

Instead, he looked somewhat disappointed.

What exactly is the relationship between these two brothers.

"Master, he did not do anything to you, right?"

"No, nothing happened. But Shiyuan, are you just going to ignore him like this?"

"He probably came again to try to take me back," Ye Shiyuan said with obvious disdain. "Just ignore him. He has always been like this since he was young."

The door was knocked so loudly it rattled.

"Big brother, I know it was mother’s fault, but I am here today to bring you home. Please, come back with me."

After a brief silence, his voice sounded again from outside.

"Big brother, do you really not care about our brotherly bond at all anymore? Think about when we were children, you treated me so well. I still remember back then..."

Then Ye Xingyun simply sat down right outside the door.

He did not seem embarrassed at all.

He began recounting everything that had happened between him and Ye Shiyuan, like he was telling a story.
