Chapter 73 - Old Loli Pretends To Be A Pig*

"I knew you could stop it. You are Xiao Yunluo."

Xiao Yunluo repeated Ye Anping's words in her mind, clenching her teeth.

Did this sentence mean that since she was "Xiao Yunluo", she could stop it?

However, if her sword had slowed down for just a moment, she would have been killed by Ye Anping.

Xiao Yunluo even now suspected that this man had tried to take her life.

However, as he said, she withstood the pressure, blocked the strike with her sword, and survived.

But what if she hadn't blocked it?

Without a doubt, she would have died.

And then he would have definitely been arrested and sent to the Black Star's prison.

Was this guy betting his own life on whether or not she could block his attack?

What a crazy man!

But...

Xiao Yunluo grimaced, but when she looked up at Ye Anping's face, she didn't know why, but she felt her heart beating loudly as if a deer was headbutting it.

Noticing this emotion, she hastily shook her head and moved her eyes away.

"Boo hoo------"

Seeing her acting like this, Ye Anping squatted down beside her and asked, "Are you hurt?"

"No..." Xiao Yunluo glanced at him again and nodded slightly. "Just call me Yunluo. If Lianxue calls me that, you can call me the same."

Ye Anping shrugged and said with a smile. "Sister Xiao sounds better."

"Call me Yunluo!!"

"..."

Xiao Yunluo frowned and raised her voice, calling his name. "Ye Anping!"

"I'm here."

Ye Anping sighed, lamenting in his heart that Xiao Yunluo, who had been turned into a 'cat' by his sister, had now become a 'tiger' again.

At this moment, Bai Yuexin, who had heard two sounds of "Bang!" and "Boom!" in the backyard, rushed out of the house.

"Anping?! What happened..."

Bai Yuexin's voice suddenly stopped when she saw Xiao Yunluo and Ye Anping sitting on the ground against the courtyard wall.

When did the Young Lady come?

Were they sparring together?

But why would a sparring session make such a big commotion, and why was there blood at the corner of the Young Lady's mouth?

Blood?

!!

"Hiss--" Bai Yuexin was so frightened that she quickly ran toward Xiao Yunluo and helped her up, then frowned and looked at Ye Anping, scolding, "Anping! It's just a fight, why did you hit so hard?!!!"

"..."

"You're still laughing!!"

Bai Yuexin was very anxious now.

According to the saying 'the sword has no eyes', it was inevitable to be injured while sparring, and it would be okay if the injured person was an ordinary disciple, but the one Ye Anping hurt was Xiao Yunluo.

---The young lady of the Black Star Sect!

---The only daughter of the Great Immortal Matriarch!

If the Young Lady held a grudge and called for help, Ye Anping would definitely be arrested and beaten up.

Bai Yuexin saw Xiao Yunluo in a daze and quickly apologized in Ye Anping's name. "Young Miss, don't blame him too much. Anping didn't really mean it."

"Ah..." Xiao Yunluo came to her senses and shook her head quickly. "It's okay."

"Is it really okay?"ewW ovels updtes on nov/l/b(i)(.)com

"Really, it's okay."

Then, Bai Yuexin looked at Ye Anping and winked at him. "Anping, apologize quickly."

Just when Bai Yuexin winked, Xiao Yunluo frowned, looked at him, and said, "Ye Anping..."

"Hmm?"

"...Thanks."

Bai Yuexin was now filled with questions. How could she thank the person who beat her to blood?

Ye Anping smiled, cupped his hands, and said from his heart, "You're welcome. Sister Xiao, do you want to come in and sit for a while?"

"No, I'm going back."

With that, Xiao Yunluo broke free from Bai Yuexin's arms and left the physiotherapy hall angrily.

Bai Yuexin watched Xiao Yunluo leave and was a little confused about the situation. Was the Young Lady angry or not?

She looked at Ye Anping helplessly. "Anping, the Young Lady was so angry just now, why don't we run away?"

"..."

"I can help you with other things, but I can't stop this."

Bai Yuexin thought for a while and suggested. "How about you take your sister, and then we leave the Western Region together and open a physiotherapy center in the Cold Sky Country? There are more martial arts practitioners there, so business should be good."

"Sister, it's all right. Don't worry."

"But just now..."

Ye Anping thought about what he had done to Xiao Yunluo just now and that if the golden-crowned parrot happened to be here, Si Xuanji had probably seen everything. However, he had been too focused to notice the presence of the parrot.

"What about the golden-crowned parrot? Is it still in the house?"

"Nope, that stupid bird flew out of the window earlier, most likely went to grab something somewhere, right?"

"..."

Ye Anping went silent, then looked at the roof eaves of the physiotherapy center and saw a golden feather left on one of the tiles.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Sister, you can leave early today. I'll close the shop and go take a nap."

Feeling worried and helpless, Bai Yuexin said with a pained smile on her face. "I'll talk to the Young Lady again for you."

...

It was night, and the moon arc shyly covered its face with clouds.

The Black Star Sect's town market was lit up.

Ye Anping had just gone to the clothing store to pick up the clothes his sister had ordered. It was a light blue one-shoulder dress with a red clouds pattern brocade belt. After that, he went to a small auction house in town and purchased some spiritual items and earthly treasures that his sister could use in the Foundation Building stage.

Upon his return, in front of the door of the physiotherapy center, suddenly there was a duck call in the sky.

"Congratulations on your fortune!! Congratulations on your fortune!!"

"..."

Ye Anping looked up and saw the golden-crowned parrot circling a hundred feet above his head.

This parrot thought it was an eagle, why was it circling over someone's head for no reason?

After hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand and took out a piece of glutinous rice dumpling from his storage bag, spread it out in his palm, and raised it slightly.

"Come!"

The next moment, the golden crown parrot swooped down like an eagle, spread its wings, and landed lightly on his wrist.

Just as the parrot was pecking at the dumpling in his hand, a bell-like voice suddenly came from behind him.

"It seems that the parrot likes you quite a lot."

Startled, Ye Anping looked behind him.

A seven or eight-year-old girl with yin and yang eyes was standing on the street, dressed in a baggy Black Star Sect disciple uniform. Her hair, reaching almost to her calves, glistened in the moonlight.

Ye Anping recognized Si Xuanji at a glance. Judging by her clothes, she probably borrowed them from some disciple, and they didn't fit her at all. She should be incognito on a private visit.

Ye Anping paused for a moment, pretended not to recognize her, and said, "Could it be that you're the owner of this golden-crowned parrot?"

"Yes." Si Xuanji stepped forward. She stretched out her little plump hands, and after the parrot jumped in her hands, she said, "Thank you for taking care of it for me these days."

"That's all right. This little bird is quite the chatterbox and brought me some fun."

Si Xuanji chuckled, then saw Ye Anping staring into her eyes, and tilted her head slightly. "Why are you staring at me?"

Your left eye is white, and the right one is black. Who wouldn't stare when they meet you for the first time?

Wasn't he just playing along with her act?

After tearing down the masks, there will be a lot of suffering.

Ye Anping looked away and said, "Your eyes are really strange. It's the first time I've seen such a strange color."

"Strange?" Si Xuanji covered her mouth, chuckled, and said, "Most people who see me for the first time regard me as a ghost because of my eyes. Are you not afraid of me, sir?"

Ye Anping thought for a while and praised her. "Actually, I think it's beautiful."

"Mister, do you really think so?"

"It's the truth."

"Why don't you come with me for a walk in the neighborhood?" Si Xuanji looked up at the sky. "It would be an honor for this old... little girl to be accompanied by such a handsome young man while walking around the streets."

Were you going to say 'old loli?' Ye Anping blinked and ignored this, then extended his hand and said, "Girl, please."

Si Xuanji nodded and stepped closer to Ye Anping. "Just call me Xuanji."
