Yi Jiang didn't know how to explain. Her sister, who was usually so timid, was now shamelessly close to their Senior Sister.
As her older sister, she was even getting jealous.
But then again, no matter what, she couldn't do something like that. She was their Senior Sister, not their mother...
She gently shook her sister's head, waking the groggy girl. "Sister, is it morning?"
"It's morning..."
Yi Jiang didn't know what more to say. Thankfully, her sister also relented, only realizing what she had done after a long while.
Blushing, she huddled next to her sister like she had done something wrong.
"I, I'm sorry..."
"It's alright. Little Yi Xuan is quite adorable."
Ye Qingxuan didn't mind. The sudden, unexpected closeness actually made it easier to bond with the two little ones.
She was no longer like when she first joined the sect, only thinking about learning martial arts and revenge. She was the Senior Sister of Yun Kui Mountain, and before repaying her gratitude, she couldn't selfishly leave on her own.
"Alright, after you wash up, I'll take you two to eat."
"Senior Sister, I want to go say hello to Senior Brother first."
Yi Jiang raised her head, her eyes firm.
This inexplicable determination made Ye Qingxuan pause. She knew her Junior Brother was best at coaxing children, but this was a bit too much... Go see Senior Brother after a bath?
A bit cute...
She cupped the girl's face and gently rubbed it, her voice incredibly soft, "Alright, then I'll blow-dry and comb our Yi Jiang's hair, and dress her up beautifully to go see your Yun Ming Senior Brother."
"No, not that... Um, thank you, Senior Sister."
Yi Jiang thought for a moment and didn't offer any further explanation.
The standard Daoist robe of Yun Kui Mountain was right beside her. The inner garments were also smooth and soft. Wearing them, she truly looked bright and fresh, like a little Daoist acolyte, exceptionally cute.
She obediently followed her Senior Sister to a chair, allowing her to part her hair. The warm air from the hairdryer felt very comfortable on her head.
"Yi Jiang's hair is very beautiful, snow-white, fluffy, and thick... Yun'er... your Yun Ming Senior Brother actually really likes white hair."
There was a hint of teasing in her words.
Ye Qingxuan very carefully picked up a comb to tidy the girl's hair, then adjusted her Daoist robe and held up a mirror for her to admire herself.
"Sister, you look so good!!"
This time, Yi Xuan exclaimed, and even the Senior Sister sighed, "Our Yi Jiang will definitely be a beauty in the future."
And Yi Jiang stared blankly at herself in the mirror: sharp features, a melon-seed face, sword-like eyebrows, and starry eyes.
She, she should be considered quite delicate, right? At least, she was clean this time.
"Don't worry, your Senior Brother will definitely love it~"
"...Mm."
Ye Qingxuan watched her walk towards the door with encouragement.
"Little Yi Xuan, it's your turn now. Come, let Senior Sister give you a hug."
Yi Xuan sat obediently. She, she, she couldn't resist. Anyway, Senior Sister wasn't a bad person, so she would reluctantly let Senior Sister hug her.
Senior Sister's embrace was very comfortable, more comfortable than her sister's.
Uh... but, it was still more reassuring in her sister's embrace.
Not long after, in front of Guanyun Courtyard.
The Daoist robe-clad girl, who had arrived with the snow, hesitated, then saw two Senior Brothers walking out. One was a spirited young man, the other tall with a large tail on his back.
Was he a Xi Ren?
Xi Ren, originally also called Yaren, but the character "Ya" sounded like being inferior, so the Municipal Government decided to change the designation.
Yi Jiang's heart fluttered. She hadn't expected others to be here. Then, later... wouldn't she be seen?
Before she could react, Yun Ming drifted over like a gust of wind. His large hand hesitated for a moment, not rubbing her freshly washed head, but gently pinching her cheek.
"It's Yi Jiang, ah, hmm... clean and pretty, just a little thin. Senior Brother will get you extra food later."
"Mm... Thank you, Senior Brother."
"Oh, and this is your Eldest Senior Brother, Xu Zhimo."
"Hello, Eldest Senior Brother!"
Yi Jiang smiled sweetly, finally having greeted him, but saw that the Xi Ren Senior Brother's expression was stiff, and his smile was rather eerie.
Did he dislike her? Or had she interrupted the two Senior Brothers' conversation and annoyed them?
"Tsk, can't you smile!? If not, hurry up and leave, don't scare my Junior Sister... Yi Jiang, don't mind him, he's just like that. He gets shy around the opposite sex, even children."
"What a useless Eldest Senior Brother, right?"
Xu Zhimo's facial expression became even stiffer. His Junior Brother was slandering him for no reason. He just liked lolis too much.
He was only acting this way to avoid showing a perverted expression.
Ah, how could Junior Sister Yi Jiang's smile be so cute! Indeed, lolis were the world's only salvation.
He rummaged through his belongings and finally pulled out a ten-dinnar bill, offering it to Yi Jiang.
"Ahem... First meeting, I wasn't prepared. Take this money, Junior Sister, and buy some candy if you get the chance."
Tsk!
Yun Ming snatched the money without a word, explaining with clear disdain.
"Your Eldest Senior Brother's money is dirty. Senior Brother will hold it for you..."
"Senior Brother won't let you lose out. Here's fifty dinnar for you. Consider it compensation for you and Yi Xuan."
He looked provocatively at Xu Zhimo. Ten dinnar? How dare he offer that? This was a Junior Sister whose talent far surpassed his!
He had told him in the house just now, why was he so clueless, not knowing to invest early?
"Yun Ming, you... ahem, it's all the same. Your Yun Ming Senior Brother's intentions are also my intentions."
Shameless. He was about to curse him just now, wasn't he?
Yun Ming was too lazy to argue with his Eldest Senior Brother. He turned to look at Yi Jiang, who had been blushing and silent since earlier.
By rights, the Senior Sister should have taken them to eat by now. Coming over suddenly meant something was up.
"Junior Sister, is there something you need to see Senior Brother about?"
Yi Jiang finally looked up. Yes, there was something, something very important!
She whispered, "Senior Brother, squat down. I have something to tell you."
Oh ho, a secret.
The Junior Sister he brought up himself, she just knew to be close to him, already knew to keep things from the shameless Eldest Senior Brother.
Yun Ming looked at his Eldest Senior Brother with amusement.
He disdained him, took out his phone, and prepared to take a picture of his Junior Sister, to let the Junior Brothers still out on commissions know that Yun Kui Mountain had another Junior Sister.
If they met her outside, they should remember she was one of their own.
Yun Ming naturally knew his Senior Brother's intention and squatted down without much thought, leaning his ear to listen.
The little girl leaned very close, her hands originally behind her back, but at this moment, they suddenly came forward, cupped around Yun Ming's ear like a megaphone.
Warm breath puffed out as she said seriously.
"Senior Brother, I'm not dirty now."
Yun Ming froze, not understanding what she meant for a moment.
But then Yi Jiang hugged his head and boldly kissed him on the side of his face. It was ticklish, and the girl herself seemed very embarrassed.
After all, this was a bribe for Senior Brother.
It was a dirty transaction... Ah, ah, ah, steam instantly rose from Yi Jiang's head. Finally, she quietly said, "I'll trouble Senior Brother to take care of me more in the future."
She fled, running away as if escaping, disappearing around the corner of the road.
Meanwhile, the Eldest Senior Brother, who was taking pictures with his phone, perfectly recorded this scene. His mouth twitched.
He slapped his Junior Brother heavily on the shoulder.
"Junior Brother, Junior Brother! Who gave you the guts to mock me for being a loli-con, hmm! You deserve to die!!!"
"I'll give you a discount, 999 dinnar... Otherwise, you wouldn't want your admiring Junior Sisters to know you're a loli-con, would you!?"
