The Thing on Xiao Yi Xian's Face (Second Update!)

"Are you stupid? We may not know where Master Han lives, but is the Xiao Family's compound that hard to find?"

"Right, right. We'll go tell the Xiao Family."

"Not only do we have to tell the Xiao Family, we also have to join them and wipe out the Aoba Family!"

Just like that, the elders of the Jialie Family each chimed in, and in a few words, they sold out the Aoba Family.

The Jialie Family acted as soon as they decided. The next night, Jialie Bi secretly went to the Xiao Family alone.

"What! Aoba Dun actually dares to make a move against Master Han?"

In the Xiao Family hall, Xiao Zhan was shocked when he heard the news Jialie Bi brought.

Right now, Su Yun was the great benefactor of their Xiao Family.

Over the past two years, because of this pill business, the Xiao Family's profits had soared wildly. It could be said that the Xiao Family's current standing was entirely thanks to Su Yun.

Naturally, Xiao Zhan did not want anything to happen to Su Yun.

"Jialie Bi, is this true? Do you know the consequences of passing on false information?"

Xiao Zhan spoke sternly to Jialie Bi before him.

"Of course. How could I lie to you? It's not as if my brain has been soaked in water."

Jialie Bi put on an earnest, heartfelt look and poured out his grievances, saying how difficult things had been for him, how he would never dare make a joke out of a Fourth Grade Alchemist, and so on.

Xiao Zhan narrowed his eyes. That was true. This matter directly concerned Master Han. Even if Jialie Bi had ten times the courage, he would not dare offend a Fourth Grade Alchemist.

"When are they preparing to act?"

After thinking it over, Xiao Zhan decided to trust him this once and asked Jialie Bi.

Seeing that Xiao Zhan believed him, Jialie Bi was delighted and said,

"At the start of next month. The Aoba Family doesn't know where Master Han is.

"They plan to ambush and kill him on the road after Master Han comes to your Xiao Family to deliver the pills at the beginning of next month."

Hearing that there was still a month left, Xiao Zhan felt steadier. There was still time to prepare.

Master Han had always helped the Xiao Family. Now that Master Han was being plotted against by villains, the Xiao Family naturally had to prove useful in order to show him the Xiao Family's ability.

Thus, Xiao Zhan and Jialie Bi settled the details.

The Jialie Family would act as the inside agent, while the Xiao Family would surround them from outside.

They would catch the Aoba Family in one fell swoop!

After the discussion ended, Xiao Zhan sent Jialie Bi away through the back door. Watching his departing figure, he thought about Jialie Bi's intention in leaking the information.

After only a little thought, Xiao Zhan understood. He was pledging allegiance.

He was a smart man. Knowing there was no chance of winning, he sold out his teammate and switched sides.

A trace of contempt flashed through Xiao Zhan's eyes. He shook his head and paid Jialie Bi no more mind. The urgent matter was to arrange this with the three elders.

On the other side, Jialie Bi smiled viciously.

Aoba Dun was all brawn and no brains, and Xiao Zhan was also a foolish man content merely to guard what he had.

Those two fools would never guess the truth even if they racked their brains. They were both being played in the palm of my hand!

Hahaha...

Xiao Zhan called out all three elders. At this moment, the four of them were inside the Xiao Family hall.

The Great Elder frowned as he listened to Xiao Zhan's description.

"There is actually such a thing!"

The other two elders were also furious.

Although the three of them did not get along with Xiao Zhan, when it came to the Xiao Family's interests, they would definitely stand united against outsiders. They could still distinguish right from wrong on major matters.

Right now, Su Yun and the Xiao Family were not merely in a relationship where they prospered together and suffered together. Rather, the Xiao Family was completely dependent on Su Yun, this Fourth Grade Alchemist.

Now that someone had set their sights on their backer, how could they not be angry?

"That is how things stand. That Jialie Bi just left, so the news should not be false.

"This matter requires mobilizing all of the Xiao Family's strength. I cannot decide it alone. What do you think?"

Xiao Zhan sat in the main seat and swept his gaze over the three elders.

The three elders exchanged glances, all understanding one another's thoughts.

Fight!

The Great Elder was the first to speak.

"In that case, we'll cooperate with the Jialie Family and destroy the Aoba Family!"

The other two elders also nodded in agreement one after another.

Xiao Zhan nodded. This matter was settled, then. One month later, only two great families would remain in Wutan City!

Su Yun, who was idling leisurely at home, had no idea that Wutan City was about to stir up a huge storm because of him.

At this moment, he was eating the fruit Xiao Yi Xian had brought over.

He had never eaten this thing in his previous life. It was probably a unique variety from the Douqi Continent.

This shape... was a bit like a honey peach from his previous life.

Su Yun picked one up from the table. This thing was especially juicy. When he bit down, quite a bit of white pulp splashed out. Xiao Yi Xian was right across from Su Yun, and sitting rather close too, so it sprayed all over her face.

"Brother!"

Xiao Yi Xian cried out sweetly, somewhat annoyed.

Su Yun laughed awkwardly. "Xian'er, if I said I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?"

Xiao Yi Xian glared at Su Yun, wiped her face with a finger, and put it into her mouth.

It was pretty sweet.

Su Yun watched Xiao Yi Xian's movement, his gaze turning a little strange. Those cherry lips...

Xiao Yi Xian took out a handkerchief and wiped her face. Although she wiped it clean, because it was fruit pulp, her face still felt a little sticky.

"Brother, what are you looking at? Are you thinking something rude?"

Xiao Yi Xian looked at Su Yun with a hint of disdain in her eyes, as if she were looking at a creep intending to molest a beautiful young girl.

"Ahem, Xian'er, how can you say that about your brother?"

Su Yun coughed, trying to recover a shred of dignity as an elder brother.

"Ew..."

Xiao Yi Xian's face was full of disdain, but a trace of secret delight rose in her heart.

Brother is looking at my lips. Does he want to taste Xian'er?

Just as Xiao Yi Xian's thoughts wandered off, Su Yun flicked her forehead.

"Xian'er, were you just thinking something strange?"

Su Yun looked at Xiao Yi Xian with a trace of teasing in his eyes.

"Ah, stinky brother! Bad brother!"

Xiao Yi Xian's face flushed crimson, and her defenses instantly broke. She pounced at Su Yun and pawed at him.

Su Yun and Xiao Yi Xian fooled around for a while, all the way until late at night. Xiao Yi Xian lay sprawled on Su Yun, clearly too tired to have any strength left.

Su Yun slapped Xiao Yi Xian's bottom, and a sense of guilt rose in his heart. "Do you yield?"

"I yield! Xian'er is convinced in heart and speech. Brother, please spare Xian'er."

Xiao Yi Xian rolled her eyes cutely, a blush flashing across her face. Her arms wrapped around Su Yun's waist as she begged for mercy.

So embarrassing. Hmph, bad brother, you just love bullying Xian'er.

A trace of pleasure flashed through Su Yun's heart. He helped Xiao Yi Xian up and held her in his arms.

He walked toward the bed, holding Xiao Yi Xian like a piece of warm, soft jade, and fell into a deep sleep.

When he woke up in the morning, Su Yun opened his eyes. Xiao Yi Xian was already gone from his arms.

Suddenly, he felt his butt get slapped.

"Brother really is a big lazybones. The sun is already shining on your butt, and you still won't get up."

Su Yun turned around. Xiao Yi Xian was wearing a homely apron, smiling at Su Yun, and a hint of satisfaction from getting revenge flashed across her face.

Su Yun got up and tapped Xiao Yi Xian's little head. "You~"

The smile on Xiao Yi Xian's face became even sweeter.
