Chapter 15: Old Tricks From the Past

The next morning, before Yun Ruoyan could wake up naturally, she heard a loud shout from outside. “Sister, you're not awake yet? Come out and play!”

Yun Ruoyan instantly felt an impending headache. Being bullied so early in the morning would actually affect his mood for the rest of the day. "Peoni, Xi Lan."

Hearing their mistress' call, Peony and Xi Lan quickly rushed to her room.

The two began to help make Yun Ruoyan look presentable. As they did so, Xi Lan grumbled, "Miss, those two young women are here especially early in the morning, and even though I told them that you are still sleeping, you are still sleeping, they refuse to listen ..."

"It wasn't your fault." Yun Ruoyan sat in front of her dressing table. “Yun Ruoyao has been pampered since birth, so she is not someone you two have a chance to fight.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Ruoyao and Yi Qianying entered his room.

“Sister, Qianying and I are here to congratulate you.” Yun Ruoyao beamed. “Your cultivation is truly an asset for the Yun family!”

They ... don't believe that at all, do they?

After all, Yun Ruoyan definitely did not think that these two sisters, who suffered defeat at her hands, would congratulate her sincerely.

He did not respond to the compliment, but instead asked, "Sister, are you here for something special?"

No one was happy to be ignored just like that, but Yun Ruoyao hid her emotions well. “Qianying and I are here to invite you on a mountain trip with us to relax.”

Yun Ruoyan's hand came to a halt, and a pearl earring fell from her hand.

The peony quickly helped Yun Ruoyan pick up and wear it.

A trip to the mountains?

Although Yun Ruoyan had failed to enter the imperial territory in her previous life, this same event happened back then. At that moment, he was "accidentally" pushed into the half-frozen pond by Yi Qianying, and nearly died. To save him, Pei Ziao had fallen into a coma, and, in response to his kindness, he begged his grandfather to obtain a high-grade pill that had been passed down from the Lin family for generations.

In this life, would his good sister play the same trick on him?

Seeing his doubt, Yun Ruoyao added, "Young Master Pei will also be there!"

Yun Ruoyan smiled coldly.

In the past, he really did not know how to hide his emotions at all, and it was very clear who he liked. As long as someone mentioned Pei Ziao's name, he would follow him obediently.

Oh, how stupid he is!

Yun Ruoyan smiled. "Then let's go."

Yun Ruoyao and Yi Qianying looked at each other, both of them smiling happily.

By the time the three of them arrived at the top of the mountain, Pei Ziao was already waiting for them there. He quickly ran to the three and stopped in front of Yun Ruoyan. “Ruoyan, it's been a long time since we last met. Are you okay?”

“Good, thank you,” Yun Ruoyan replied politely.

This kind of attitude made Pei Ziao rather uncomfortable — in the past, Yun Ruoyan always attached to him and appreciated his every word!

"Ruoyan, are you feeling unwell today?"

"No, I don't, but maybe I'm walking too much?" Yun Ruoyan did not even deign to look at it. He was worried, if he were to see that familiar face once again, he might not be able to resist strangling her!

"Then let's go ahead and rest!"

Looking at the smiling faces of the two from afar, all Yun Ruoyan felt was a bitter coldness.

These two people were his sisters, but all they were waiting for was his death! They smiled at him so brilliantly, but once he turned around, they would let go of all the pretenses and stab him in the back!

"Ruoyan, let's see the lake together!" Pei Ziao pulled Yun Ruoyan forward while running.

As for Yun Ruoyan, she hesitated a little before pulling her hand back from her grasp.

In his last life, Yi Qianying had pushed him into the lake. To save him, Pei Ziao also jumped into the lake. After the two of them were saved, he recovered quickly, but Pei Ziao fell into a deep coma.

In order to save Pei Ziao, he had started a bitter feud with his grandfather for high-grade recovery pills, damaging their relationship permanently. He was very curious as to what would happen to Pei Ziao if he did not do it now.

Yun Ruoyan rubbed her silver bracelet as she stepped onto the edge of the lake, deliberately giving Yun Ruoyao and Yi Qianying a chance to react.

As expected, he felt a sharp push from his back, and at the same time, he heard, "Ruoyan, be careful!"

Soon after, he heard the sound of water splashing as Pei Ziao jumped into the lake.

Yun Ruoyan had planned to immediately escape into the pocket dimension of her bracelet once she fell into the lake, but this time, after entering the lake, she saw an unusual gleam radiating from the bottom.

Yun Ruoyan did not rush out of the lake; after all, she did not want to ruin her sister's dream too quickly. Using the slight swimming ability he had, Yun Ruoyan swam towards the light at the bottom of the lake. It turned out to be a box, which had obviously been lying there for quite a while, its surface was covered in some sort of water moss.

A weak light emanated from the box.

Yun Ruoyan reached out her hand, intending to bring the box with her, but a huge black fish suddenly swam out from her side. It looked almost as if it was glaring at him.

It looked like a fish, but also no, there were no scales on its body, and a horn protruded from its forehead. In fact, it looked more like a mystical creature.

Yun Ruoyan was so shocked by his sudden appearance that she quickly clutched her mouth.

The strange fish creature swam several circles around him before his gaze ended on his silver bracelet. It swam a few more circles around him before turning to the box and violently hitting him with a horn on his head until it opened.

Inside was actually a legendary weapon!

Yun Ruoyan was stunned, as she actually saw this weapon on the Yun Family list, the legendary Feilai Sword protected by the mystical beast Jiao Lian.

He had not expected that it would actually be hidden at the bottom of this mountain lake!

Jiao Lian circled around Yun Ruoyan a few times before finally leaving.

Yun Ruoyan's water breathing technique was not suitable for long-term use, and it was almost time to return to the surface. Seeing Jiao Lian leave was an encouragement for him to pick up the knife and return again to the beach.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Pei Ziao was still thrashing around in the water. Yun Ruoyao and Yi Qianying were clearly panicking, and they were shouting for help.

Yun Ruoyan temporarily kept her blade inside the pocket dimension of her bracelet and swam towards Pei Ziao.

“Khem! Ruoyan, Ruoyan!” Pei Ziao choked on a few gulps of water, and he even found it difficult to open his eyes.

To be honest, when he saw Pei Ziao behaving like this, he was touched. But compared to the pain Pei Ziao had brought to him and the poison forced into his throat, that brief moment was nothing.

Yun Ruoyan swam forward, gripped her waist, and dragged her ashore.

“Ruo, Ruoyan, you are fine..?” As soon as he said that, Pei Ziao fainted.

At this moment, a large crowd had gathered by the lake, and Yun Ruoyao as well as Yi Qianying were staring with their mouths agape towards the extremely healthy Yun Ruoyan. Now that such a crowd had gathered, they could not move any further against him! Moreover, how were they going to deal with Pei Ziao?!
