Chapter 202: Chapter 202 - 88: He’s Sure He Won’t Become an Idiot, Right?
’The moon smiles in the hand, the child beams, the clouds sleep early before their eyes; the spring breeze can’t topple my willow waist; bouncing around in this Peach Blossom Spring.’
’Young man, don’t long for home too soon, even the swallows have come flying in pairs; the peaches are blooming, and the banana leaves are still green; regardless of the rain and wind at night, flowers bloom red anew only to wither again...’
The prelude of "Peach Blossom Smile" directly transported Yun Wanyao to a world full of blooming peach blossoms, birds singing and flowers fragrant, with nothing but joy, forgetting all worries.
She almost couldn’t help but hum along, but fortunately, she snapped back in time and covered her mouth, stifling the sound that had reached her lips.
Otherwise, today she would have been exposed.
Not only her, but even Lady Yun and Yun Wanye found the tune enchanting, unable to believe that such a beautiful tune existed in the world.
Yun Wanqing hummed twice before stopping, yet the three of them still felt they hadn’t had enough, with the melody lingering in their ears.
This must be what they call "lingering melody".
Noon~
On the beauty couch, Yun Wanqing was lazily basking in the sun. She lazily opened her eyes, glancing at the sky through the window.
The sky was a vast blue, with clouds floating like cotton candy.
However, the sun was not visible, blocked by the beam of the house.
[It’s about the right hour now, but with my brother and sister both here, who should I control?]
[Hmm, it’s still going to be second brother, if sister were alone here, I’d have no choice, but since second brother is here, it’ll be him.]
[The Duke Mansion is so big, reaching the center is no easy task, not to mention having to carry me, sister’s strength is not enough, carrying me such a distance would be suffering.]
Yun Wanqing’s gaze turned to Yun Wanye.
Yun Wanye’s scalp tightened instantly, his whole body tense, looking helplessly tearful, why is he always the one to get hurt?
There’s also an important point, is he sure he won’t turn into an idiot?
He didn’t mind being controlled by his little sister, but he was afraid of turning into an idiot ah ah ah ah!!!
’Little sister, if you turn me into an idiot, you’ll have to be responsible for the rest of my life!!!’
Yun Wanye put on a pained expression, as if going to the guillotine.
Lady Yun and Yun Wanyao, already puzzled by Yun Wanqing’s words, were even more confused by Yun Wanye’s expression.
What is Xiao Si up to?
Why control Yun Wanye?
Why go to the middle of the mansion?
Both looked at Yun Wanye quizzically, asking him silently. Yun Wanye sighed, pursing his lips, finding it hard to articulate.
Little sister is still here, how can he explain this complicated matter?
Better wait and talk to mother afterward.
Just as the thought passed, he felt a mysterious, vast force enter his mind, his consciousness immediately turned blank, and the next moment, he plunged into darkness.
And his body, suddenly, rose and walked towards the window by the couch, effortlessly hugging Yun Wanqing’s small body.
"Mother, I’m taking little sister out to play."
[Hope mother won’t stop us, or else, I’ll have to control her too.]
Lady Yun: "..."
Yun Wanyao: "..."
Minds went blank for a moment. Lady Yun quickly regained her senses, swallowing the words she was about to utter, and gently responded.
"Alright, be safe, don’t drop Xiao Si, and don’t play for too long, come back early."
Though not knowing what the little bundle was up to, upon hearing her internal voice, Lady Yun realized this was something she had to do, and she couldn’t bear to stop it.
Moreover, even if she wanted to stop it, she couldn’t, didn’t she hear Xiao Si’s inner voice saying, if she stopped them, she’d have to be controlled as well.
So, Ye’er is being controlled now???
"Okay."
The young man’s slender figure quickly disappeared.
Lady Yun watched them until they were completely out of sight, unable to snap back.
"Cough, cough, cough, Mother, what exactly is little sister up to? Why do I feel like Yun Wanye and little sister are keeping something important from us?"
Yun Wanyao choked on her saliva, coughing non-stop, yet still insisting on finishing her words.
Her eyes were full of turmoil, since little sister’s birth, she’s always encountered such bizarre events.
Lady Yun looked at her, slowly shook her head, and there was an inexplicable firmness in her voice.
"I don’t know what Xiao Si is up to either, but I believe, whatever Xiao Si does, she won’t harm us."
"Hehe, Mother, that’s not what I meant, I was just curious and asked."
"Little sister certainly wouldn’t harm us, instead, if anything happens to us, little sister would help us at all costs."
Yun Wanyao chuckled, explaining with a smile.
Lady Yun reached out and touched her hair, saying, "Yes, I believe you, and I believe Xiao Si, about this matter, let’s not worry, we can discuss it after Ye’er returns."
"Xiao Si is not really a child, she has her own mind, she knows what she’s doing."
Yun Wanyao nodded repeatedly, "Mm, mm, mm, okay, I know, Mother."
At the center of Duke Ning Mansion, stood a three-story vermilion building.
This building housed the Yun Family’s hidden books and treasures, as well as Yun Zheng’s study. It was the tallest structure in the entire mansion and the most heavily guarded place.
Yun Wanqing, spiritual power extending, pinpointed the right location, then controlled Yun Wanye to leap onto the rooftop, an action that drew the hidden guards to unsheathe their swords and encircle them.
"Second, Second Young Master, how could it be you? What are you doing here?"
Upon seeing Yun Wanye arrive, holding the Fourth Miss in his arms, the guard captain was slightly taken aback, sheathed his sword, and voiced his surprise.
"The view here is wonderful, my mother asked me to bring little sister to enjoy the scenery, you all may withdraw."
His voice was normal, but if listened to closely, it was somewhat vacant, as were his eyes, yet the guard captain didn’t notice.
Hearing his words, the guard captain quickly bowed, waved his hand, and led the guards off the rooftop, resuming their hidden positions.
Once everyone had withdrawn, Yun Wanqing chose a spot and threw the Spirit Jade in her hand downward.
Buzz!
As the Spirit Jade touched the green tiles of the rooftop, it vanished instantly, like snow meeting fire, or a stone thrown into a lake, yet it triggered ripples of transparent energy.
Countless invisible beams shot skyward, interweaving to gradually form a massive shield, securely enveloping Duke Ning Mansion within.
The surface of the shield flowed with mysterious, intricate spirit patterns, releasing a compelling pressure.
Outside the mansion gate, Yun Zheng and Yun Zhan had just dismounted when they suddenly sensed something, and both instinctively looked skyward.
Though nothing could be seen, both felt that today, Duke Ning Mansion seemed to possess something indescribable and elusive.
"Big brother, I seem to sense some mysterious power."
Yun Zhan gazed at the sky, squinting his eyes, speaking faintly.
Upon hearing this, Yun Zheng furrowed his brows, swiftly showing frost in his eyes.
Could it be that the system has indeed targeted our Yun Family?
