Sister and Brother Play with Two Scoundrels

At this moment, on the second floor of Forget Worries Pavilion.

The Black Shadow Leader peered his head over the staircase, scanning the second floor. It was dark, and aside from a few tables and cushions, there wasn't much else to see.

He entered the second floor unguarded, but what he didn't notice was a pair of eyes watching him with amusement from a hidden shadow.

"He finally came. I was about to fall asleep."

Saying this, Ye Zifeng activated Wind's Aftermath Gate, enveloping the entire second floor within his Wind's Aftermath Gate formation.

The Black Shadow Leader remained completely unaware, still searching for his target on the second floor, fantasizing about the day he would gain an opportunity, evolve his Martial Soul, and roam the Continent.

Ye Zifeng silently murmured, "Wind Hexagram, Wind Rope!"

Suddenly, a translucent rope composed of wind appeared out of thin air, forming a trap beneath the Black Shadow Leader's feet.

Because the Wind Rope was translucent, the Black Shadow Leader, believing his elder siblings had already been dealt with, hadn't released his spiritual sense to investigate, and was relaxed. He stepped into the trap set by Ye Zifeng.

The Black Shadow Leader felt a sudden, powerful pulling force tugging him forward, followed by another force pulling him backward with his other foot.

The Black Shadow Leader muttered, "This isn't good, there's a trap!"

The Black Shadow Leader immediately struck a horse stance, a sharp pain shooting through his legs.

He quickly covered his mouth, preventing himself from shouting, lest he awaken his two siblings.

After the pain subsided, the Black Shadow Leader quickly regained his composure and frantically tried to break free from the Wind Rope's restraints using his Soul Power, then stood up. Even after escaping the Wind Rope's grip, a dull ache persisted in his groin.

"Damn it, I was careless to set up a trap."

"This hurts like hell."

"This time, I won't leave this Forget Worries Pavilion without emptying it. I won't stop until I do."

Speaking, the Black Shadow Leader, enduring the pain in his groin, continued to patrol the second floor, but this time he was cautious, releasing his spiritual sense to probe the surroundings.

With the spiritual sense probing, the surroundings appeared in the Black Shadow Leader's mind. Seeing this, he felt relieved.

However, his spiritual sense hadn't detected Ye Zifeng hidden in the darkness.

"Ouch, how much does that hurt? I can feel something down there just watching him, and he's covering his mouth to keep from making a sound."

"You're quite the ruthless person."

"But since you've chosen to continue down this path, don't blame me for not being polite."

Saying this, Ye Zifeng in the shadows continued to unleash various techniques to trap and torment the Black Shadow Leader.

Fireballs, earth spikes, water spheres, wooden stakes…

A variety of magical traps emerged one after another. Since Ye Zifeng had turned his Heart Demons inward, his mastery of the Eight Trigrams had reached a level where he could utilize the elemental energies around him in a limited area.

After suffering from these traps, the Black Shadow Leader began to doubt his own spiritual sense, wondering how he could have failed to detect them. He thought that since this was Forget Worries Pavilion, there must be something here that could block spiritual sense.

However, he then saw three exquisitely crafted Ancient Qin hanging on the wall, and greed filled his heart as he headed towards them.

Ye Zifeng in the shadows saw him heading towards the three Ancient Qin and felt a wave of panic, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Those are Elder Sister's most beloved Ancient Qin?"

"Those three Ancient Qin were personally crafted by Senior Brother and given to Elder Sister."

"Even I and Second Sister wouldn't dare to touch those Ancient Qin. Last time, we only took one out to play with without Elder Sister's permission, and were beaten severely."

"I and Second Sister lay in bed for over a week after that, looking utterly miserable."

"If Elder Sister finds out someone has touched her Qin, the consequences…"

Ye Zifeng recalled the time he and his sibling had gotten into trouble, and how the cold and aloof Elder Sister had suddenly smiled and brutally beaten them. He shuddered, resolving to protect Elder Sister's possessions and prevent that man from touching the Qin.

Who would have thought that the aloof and ice-cold Forget Worries Pavilion Elder Sister would be so terrifying when she smiled.

Immediately afterward, Ye Zifeng no longer concealed his presence, directly using Shock Technique, lightning crackling in his hand as he swatted towards the Black Shadow Leader.

Caught off guard by the sudden appearance of lightning, the Black Shadow Leader was blasted through the second-floor window.

Second Sister Ye Hanxue on the first floor also heard the thunder on the second floor and muttered, "Trouble! Something's happened."

She then threw the bound Black Shadow Brother out of Forget Worries Pavilion and hurried up to the second floor.

Upon entering the second floor, Ye Hanxue saw her younger brother, Ye Zifeng, and quickly asked, "What happened?"

"I was just messing with them a little, why did you use Lightning Law?"

In response to Second Sister's question, Ye Zifeng chuckled, "At first, I was just toying with them, but then they started trying to steal something pretty important, and I feared we'd receive a little…special attention afterward."

Second Sister Ye Hanxue frowned, "What did they try to steal that would make you do that?"

Hearing Second Sister's question, Ye Zifeng smiled and glanced at the three Ancient Qin hanging on the wall, then stopped speaking.

Second Sister Ye Hanxue followed Ye Zifeng's gaze to the Ancient Qin on the wall, her breathing hitched, her pupils shrinking, and she silently sighed.

"I swear, it's Elder Sister's Ancient Qin! That guy wants to steal Elder Sister's Ancient Qin!"

"We wouldn't even dare touch it, and he has the gall to steal it."

"If he gets away with it, Elder Sister will definitely disown him."

Thinking back to Elder Sister's terrifying smile last time, Ye Hanxue shuddered and quickly grabbed her younger brother, Ye Zifeng, asking anxiously, "Did he touch it?"

Seeing the panicked look on her sister's face, Ye Zifeng understood she already knew what he meant. He reached out and patted her shoulder, relieved to say, "Don't worry, he hasn't touched it. For our lives, I won't let him."

Hearing her brother's words, Ye Hanxue finally relaxed. Immediately, anger surged within her, and she said to them, "Let's go, let's go kill him! Stealing from Forget Worries Pavilion is one thing, but daring to touch Elder Sister's qin? He's asking for death."

Saying this, Ye Hanxue flew out the window. Seeing her sister go to teach the Black Shadow Leader a lesson, Ye Zifeng also felt a surge of anger, nearly losing control. He wouldn't be able to rest until that person was dead.

Thinking this, Ye Zifeng also flew out the window from the second floor.

The Black Shadow Leader, blasted out of the second floor by Lightning Law, stood up and addressed his subordinates at the entrance of Forget Worries Pavilion.

He instantly realized he'd been exposed too early. The pavilion's siblings hadn't been stunned; everything that had happened to him was their doing. He intended to flee the area.

But just as he was about to act, a silver needle, moving with incredible speed, shot through the air and pierced a pressure point on his body.

The poison on the needle quickly spread, rendering him unable to move. He couldn't even use his Soul Power.

At that moment, a furious roar echoed from the sky.

"The audacity of a thief, daring to come to Forget Worries Pavilion to steal!"
