Ye Tianyi followed Shi Jiayi's gaze.

At Heavenly Water Academy, Ye Xian'er, dressed in a simple white dress, stood proudly like a white lotus atop a snow mountain. Anyone who saw her for the first time would undoubtedly be captivated by her beauty, and their second glance would see them deeply lost in her enchanting light blue eyes.

Legends of Ye Xian'er still circulated at Heavenly Water Academy. Just her walking around the academy grounds caused people to flock to her, and those further away secretly took photos.

Everyone knew the legends of Ye Xian'er, but how many had actually seen her? She hadn't appeared in public for several years, only venturing out for necessities like groceries. The rest of her time was spent in the Demon Beast Domain. Many people's impressions of her were still from years ago when she was slightly less mature, but now she was at her most captivating.

"So beautiful, almost half as beautiful as this Immortal Maiden."

Shi Jiayi exclaimed.

Ye Tianyi: ???

Ye Tianyi stared at Shi Jiayi with a look of utter shock.

"What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong?"

Shi Jiayi glared at Ye Tianyi.

"N-no, not wrong."

Ye Tianyi rubbed his nose and said, completely against his will.

This Shi Jiayi really had a thick skin, but Ye Tianyi actually quite liked girls like her.

They were both beautiful in their own way, equally stunning.

"Speaking of which, I truly admire and appreciate your sister. It's a pity she's been held back by you."

Shi Jiayi shook her head secretly.

Ye Tianyi: "..."

"But you don't seem to dislike me."

Shi Jiayi looked at Ye Tianyi with a surprised expression.

"Big Brother, where do you get such a high opinion of yourself? In the entire Heavenly Water Empire, no, on the entire continent, how many geniuses are there like your sister? If she weren't held back by you, she would already be the true Heaven's Favored Daughter. If I were your sister, I would have killed you long ago. But I'm not, and we have no relation, so I have no right to dislike you. At least from our half an hour together, I don't dislike you much. If you could buy me some wine, I might even like you."

Ye Tianyi: "..."

"Hmph, you just want to trick me into buying you wine."

"Uh-huh, are you buying or not?"

"No money."

"Tch..." Shi Jiayi scoffed.

"I really don't have money. I can't even afford a bottle that costs five yuan."

Ye Tianyi shrugged. This wasn't a lie. He was grateful to Sister Hong for giving him a pack of cigarettes, otherwise he wouldn't even have anything to smoke.

"Your sister seems to be in trouble."

Shi Jiayi crossed her arms, a hint of amusement on her lips. She then took out a small bottle of wine from her purse and took a satisfying sip.

Ye Tianyi: "..."

What a top-rank woman.

Ye Tianyi looked over and saw Ye Xian'er being blocked by several men.

"Damn it."

Ye Tianyi rolled up his sleeves and strode over.

"Ding... You have triggered the mission [Take Down Ye Xian'er]. Mission Reward: Cultivation realm advances to Domain Realm. Mission Penalty: Swagger Value reset to zero. Mission Deadline: During the existence of the Scumbag System."

Ye Tianyi: ???

What the hell? This Scumbag System is too realistic! Others trigger missions that are at most 'make her cry' or 'kiss' missions. But for Ye Xian'er, it's directly 'take down'?

Since it's now the Scumbag System, it might trigger missions for any pretty girl he sees. This is the first time Ye Tianyi has seen Ye Xian'er since activating the Scumbag System, so it's reasonable that it triggered now.

Wait, this mission reward...

Directly reaching the Domain Realm?

Qi Foundation Realm, Enlightened Aperture Realm, Body Refining Realm, Spirit Refining Realm, Profound Heaven Realm, Law Domain Realm, Domain Realm, Heavenly Venerate Realm, Saint Ruler Realm, Heavenly Dao Realm. This is the cultivation realm division of the continent. Ye Tianyi is currently in the Body Refining Realm. Taking her down directly advances him to the Domain Realm? What the hell? Ye Xian'er isn't even in the Domain Realm yet. The dean of Heavenly Water Academy probably isn't either.

What should I do? This mission's temptation is too great...

Drug her...?

Gan Lin Niang! He's not a scumbag! Although this mission is incredibly tempting, he'll have to deal with it another day.

"Ye Xian'er, have you thought about it? If you've decided, come with this Young Master. My Wang family, if we don't have anything else, we have plenty of money. My monthly allowance is hundreds of thousands. Follow me, and my Wang family can easily repay the remaining debts of your Ye family."

Wang Xuan, with two others blocking Ye Xian'er, looked at her with a mocking smile.

A few years ago, he wouldn't have dared to look Ye Xian'er in the eye his entire life. He was inferior. The Wang family wasn't even one of the Four Great Families, so how could he dare to act like this in front of Ye Xian'er? But now it's different. In his eyes, Ye Xian'er is no longer the aloof Ye family's young lady she used to be, but just a beautiful woman burdened by debt. He, Wang Xuan, now has the confidence to show off in front of Ye Xian'er.

"Oh, you have a lot of money? If you have so much money, why don't you use it to burn for your old mother at her cremation? The crematorium is even calling me to ask how well-done you want your mom."

Ye Tianyi sauntered over from behind, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and stood in front of Ye Xian'er.

Even though Ye Tianyi knew Ye Xian'er was definitely not in danger, he got angry when he heard this Sha Bi's words. What are you so superior about?

Ye Xian'er stared at Ye Tianyi's retreating back, a little stunned.

He had stepped forward to shield her? Was this really her brother?

She was deeply moved. What might seem like an ordinary act to others made her incredibly happy.

"Ye Tianyi, you!!"

Wang Xuan pointed at Ye Tianyi, his face a mask of displeasure. He couldn't understand why a piece of Trash, a nobody, dared to curse at him.

"What 'you'? Your grandma's gonna raise prices at the market, Your Grandpa's gonna get lectured when he plays chess, you'll never get a 7 when you play Dou Dizhu with 3456, your brother's computer will definitely have DingTalk installed, your dad will definitely set off a bomb when he plays mahjong, and your grandma will prick her fingers every time she sews."

Ye Tianyi's barrage of insults spewed out.

Shi Jiayi, who had followed, stumbled and nearly fell.

This kid has potential. For some reason, he suited her taste.

"You're asking for death!"

A surge of power erupted from Wang Xuan. However, in the next instant, it was crushed by another force. Sweat poured down his face, and his complexion turned pale.

Of course, it was Ye Xian'er behind Ye Tianyi. In front of her, he was nothing but Trash.

How could she let anyone bully Ye Tianyi in her presence?

"Fine, Ye Tianyi, you just wait! This Young Master will see if your sister can be by your side every single moment!"

Wang Xuan pointed at Ye Tianyi, his face ugly, and then walked away.

"Hey, remember to repost two lucky carp when you get back, praying that your mom doesn't die tonight."

Ye Tianyi shouted again from behind.

Wang Xuan clenched his fists tightly!

Endure for a moment and find peace. Take a step back and get angrier and angrier. But there was nothing he could do. How could he possibly beat up Ye Tianyi in front of Ye Xian'er?

"Put out the cigarette."

Amidst the envious gazes of everyone, Ye Xian'er took the cigarette from Ye Tianyi's lips and held it in her own hand. The cigarette then turned to ash.

"Wuwuwu... I wish I could be managed by Ye Xian'er too."

"This Ye Tianyi really doesn't know how lucky he is, sigh."

"Ye Xian'er is probably here because of what happened yesterday, right?"

"..."

The surrounding people were in an uproar.

"Since you're here, let's go check the surveillance footage together," Shi Jiayi said to Ye Xian'er.

"Mhm." Ye Xian'er nodded slightly.

On the way, Ye Xian'er said softly:

"Eleventh Sister, I'll trouble you with Xiao Yi from now on."

Ye Tianyi looked at the two walking ahead with a look of surprise.

They knew each other?

Wow! No wonder Shi Jiayi seemed to treat him quite specially. So that's how it was. It was likely Ye Xian'er deliberately handed him over to Shi Jiayi.

But why did she call her Eleventh Sister?

Wait...

Shi Jiayi, ten plus one, could this be the origin of "eleven"?

"You've given me a difficult task. His cultivation is low, he's hard to manage, and he loves causing trouble..."

Shi Jiayi sighed.

"Ten Jars of Superior Immortal Fairy Brew."

"Deal!"

Shi Jiayi's beautiful eyes lit up, and a sly smile appeared.

Ye Tianyi: ???

Once upon a time, I sat in the front row during a speech by Ma Yun. I was so engrossed in his speech that I accidentally missed a step and almost fell. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and supported him!

Ma Yun was very grateful and wanted to give me a hundred million, but I refused. He asked what I wanted instead. I chuckled, waved my hand, and said, "I want handsome little brothers and pretty misses to cast recommendation votes."

After saying that, I strode away. Ma Yun was greatly inspired and announced: Whoever casts a recommendation vote for him will become as wealthy as him in the future.
