Call Me Big Brother, and I'll Have Your Back From Now On

Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang has arrived.

I redid my makeup, changed into a new outfit, and came with a mindset of knowing my shame and then striving to improve.

Then,

Completely bewildered.

What did she see?

Two grown men and a small child were squatting on the ground watching a group of ants fight.

Is it childish or not?

Xiao Zhaohuang simply stood at the door, waiting Jingjing, without rashly going in to disturb what she considered a naive and childish act.

Perhaps this is what Immortal.

Such unconventionality and uniqueness.

As for Zhang Qingyan standing to the side,

She had already automatically blocked it.

In her eyes,

From beginning to end, there was only that one aloof and ethereal figure in green.

Time passed little by little,

However, the three people squatting in the vegetable garden did not move an inch.

Until the ant colonies in the vegetable garden determined a winner,

The serious expressions on the faces of the two adults and one child finally changed.

"What a thrilling and exciting battle!"

"I never expected them to use such a roundabout tactic to catch us off guard."

"Uh-huh."

"The opponent's defeat was not undeserved, given the vast difference in strategic acumen between the two commanders."

"That's right. As the saying goes, war is based on deception. Blindly engaging in head-on battles only increases losses. The best strategy is to use a combination of deception and surprise attacks to achieve victory."

"Uh-huh."

"..."

The two adults and one child stood in the vegetable garden, as if they had transformed into generals and strategists on a battlefield, pointing out the landscape and talking eloquently.

Then,

The chubby boy suddenly froze.

His two small eyes widened in shock and horror.

Who are you?

"And who are you? Are you perhaps the illegitimate son of the Eldest Princess?"

Zhang Qingyan lowered her voice and whispered in the chubby boy's ear, her face full of curiosity and excitement.

The chubby boy plopped down in the vegetable patch, gripping the small hoe tightly in his hand, his face filled with fear and wariness.

It was as if the stranger who had suddenly appeared before him was a terrifying boar demon that devoured people without spitting out the bones.

As for the other one,

Someone who's that good-looking can't be a bad person.

"Hey... fatty, what are you afraid of? We're not bad guys."

Zhang Qingyan looked at the fear and apprehension in the chubby boy's eyes and was somewhat speechless. Did he look like a bad guy?

However, before he could even speak,

A cold voice came from the doorway.

"How dare you be so disrespectful to the Heir of Prince of Qin! Guards, drag him away and give him twenty strokes of the cane as a warning to others."

Zhang Qingyan was stunned upon hearing this.

This chubby little boy is actually the Heir of Prince of Qin?

Besides,

Why do you guys always like to beat me up?

But when he saw several tall and burly guards rushing in from outside, Zhang Qingyan was so frightened that his legs went weak.

It's you again.

He recognized one of the guards.

He was the one who hit the hardest last night.

"Big brother, help me!"

Zhang Qingyan hid behind Gao Yunyi while pleading tearfully.

But Gao Yunyi remained unmoved.

He allowed four guards to drag him outside.

Zhang Qingyan has such a sharp tongue; it's good for him to get a beating.

Immortal Venerable enjoy boundless blessings.

Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang curtsied, her face showing no trace of the shame she had previously displayed.

That's right.

She rallied and stood up again.

Gao Yunyi glanced at her meaningfully, but that casual glance almost made Xiao Zhaohuang's legs go weak and her heart tremble.

That meow, like a cat in heat, seemed to keep echoing in her mind, impossible to shake off.

"Immortal Venerable? You... you are that Immortal."

Fortunately,

Her little nephew, who was holding a small hoe, rescued her.

The chubby boy's eyes were very bright, shining.

They stared intently at Gao Yunyi, like fans meeting their idol.

But he was also very reserved.

His feet were firmly planted in the vegetable patch, and he dared not take a single step.

"This is my second brother's child. Since my second brother passed away, and my second sister-in-law died of grief, he has been the only one left in the entire Prince of Qin's mansion."

"My father was seriously ill, and after Xiao Chengchen seized power, he became heartless and ungrateful, completely disregarding the lives of the imperial relatives. Later, I passed through Chang’an on military business and discovered that there were wicked servants in the Prince of Prince of Qin's mansion who were bullying their master. In a fit of anger, I executed all the servants in the Prince of Qin's mansion and brought him back to the Capital, where he has been raised in my residence ever since."

"This child has had a hard life. He lost his parents at a young age, is timid and easily bullied, introverted and shy. He spends all his time locking himself in the yard tending to the vegetable garden, silent and taciturn, and doesn't like to go out."

"I can protect him for a while, but I can't shelter him forever. The Capital now turbulent and fraught with danger. If I'm gone, I really don't know what will become of this child."

After calming his emotions, Xiao Zhaohuang began to recount the little fat boy's background and circumstances, then sighed softly.

The chubby boy stood still the whole time.

Looking at the Immortal with unease,

I want to get close, but I'm afraid to approach.

Actually, Gao Yunyi's feelings were somewhat complicated from the moment he entered and saw the chubby boy.

He saw a reflection of his younger self in this chubby boy.

They were both introverted and socially anxious, and both were withdrawn and taciturn.

I enjoy immersing myself in my own little world, doing what I love, regardless of the gossip or the chaos outside.

It turns out he was just like me.

I lost both my parents when I was young.

"Little fatty, what's your name?"

Gao Yunyi asked.

"Xiao... Xiao Gaoyi."

The chubby boy lowered his head and whispered, his face full of fear and timidity.

Call me "Big Brother," and I'll protect you from now on.

Upon hearing this,

The chubby boy was dumbfounded.

Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang's eyes lit up.

A promise from Immortal is worth far more than a thousand pieces of gold; it is as heavy as Mount Tai.

Unexpectedly, her usually timid nephew was able to receive the favor and protection of the Immortals Immortal.

Once today's events become public knowledge,

Even if she fails to seize the throne and her entire family is executed,

His weak-willed little nephew would never dare to be bullied again.

Looking at the Immortal's calm and composed gaze, and then glancing at her aunt's encouraging and expectant eyes,

The chubby Xiao Gaoyi finally mustered the greatest courage of his life and spoke.

"Big... Big Brother."

Upon hearing this,

Gao Yunyi felt very comfortable.

Before, no one took care of him; he had to struggle and make a living on his own in society.

Now he has the ability

It wouldn't hurt to help someone out if I could.

He fears that one day his feelings will completely fade, and he will no longer regard them as human beings.

Raise your palm slightly.

A flash of light appeared.

A Star-Patterned Daoist Robe appeared out of thin air in his hand.

This level 20 equipment was a leftover Common material from his last Artifact Refining. He had originally planned to destroy it once his inventory was full.

This is perfect as a gift when we meet.

"Here you go."

Gao Yunyi casually tossed the Star-Patterned Daoist Robe to the chubby boy, who then caught the exquisite robe bestowed upon him by an Immortal with a flustered and bewildered expression.

Seeing this scene,

Xiao Zhaohuang admitted that she was envious and jealous.

Immortal Treasure

It's another magical treasure.

It was just given away so casually.

Immortal

That's a bit too willful.
