The Naughty Senior Sister
Recalling the Genuine Nature of Jiang Nalan - 4

On the way to the main hall.

Miao'er looked somewhat agitated, making Yan Xu unable to resist asking.

"Junior sister, why are you nervous?"

"Hm? Is my anxiety very noticeable?" miao'er asked back, laughing blankly.

Yan Xu nodded, "Very clearly visible, even if you stand three steps away from me."

Miao'er's mouth opened wide and immediately closed back. He did not think that Yan Xu had been paying attention to him even though he had to focus on controlling his clouds.

He looked hesitant to bring out what he was thinking, just that the insistence from Yan Xu's curious expression made him give up immediately.

Miao'er carefully chose the sentence that would come out of his mouth, "Give Master a gift never to enter into our plans. Miao'er was so confused, why did Senior Brother do that. Honestly, Miao'er could barely keep up with Senior Brother's flow of action when he wanted to pay his respects to Master."

In fact, giving gifts and getting a week off is not their plan. Miao'er simply followed Yan Xu's actions spontaneously and immediately adapted to their conditions. It is the socialization ability of a Qian Chuchu that plays a very important role in the smooth process of the previous scenario.

All sorts of actions of Yan Xu made Miao'er feel confused, as if Yan Xu did not normally do such a thing. Even if there were a thousand opportunities to do so, according to Miao'er the man would never act without thinking about personal gain.

But what happened before is very different. Miao'er could see the sincerity and gratitude of how Yan Xu expressed himself. It also affects the inside of Miao'er, although at first he only adapts.

In response to the confusion that was on his junior sister's mind, Yan Xu began to explain in a soft voice and a speed that was very comfortable to hear.

"Sister Junior, sometimes what you see from each other's actions is what they expect will happen to them as well."

"Let's take an example like someone I once knew. He is a good listener, always listening to the problems of others and giving useful advice to them. However, in reality he also wished that others would be listeners to his problems."

"What happened to that guy?" ask Miao'er curiously.

"In the end, no one understood his expectations. Most people only see the outside, but rarely can anyone truly understand the language of others' actions."

"I hope that person will someday find someone who will listen to his problems" Miao'er said in a pitying tone.

Yan Xu chuckled softly then said, "Well, he might have found it already."

"really?" Miao'er's expression began to brighten, but he fell silent due to the next remark.

"—However, someone who understands his actions is gone," Yan Xu continued with a grim expression.

Miao'er slightly closed his mouth, "Certainly, how is that fellow after losing his hope?"

"He wanders in a state of disorientation, circling a journey called life like hell and always haunted by nightmares."

Miao'er closed his eyes as if feeling the same sorrow. He had also felt such a loss, so having a slight sense of mourning over the suffering of the person mentioned by his senior brother was natural.

"In the end, death takes away hope and loved ones, .." murmured Miao'er in a low voice.

Yan Xu who had already sharpened his hearing, could clearly hear the murmur.

He raised his hand and patted Miao'er's little shoulder for his junior sister who was bowing her head to face him.

With a warm smile he said, "Any meeting, there will definitely be a farewell. That's why a pair of longing souls will exchange a few verses, hoping that in the next life they will be reunited."

Hearing that, Miao'er's eyes widened. His surprise he could not hide. The reason why he could not hide it was because someone once said the same thing, with a sentence that was exactly like that of his senior brother.

Meanwhile, sanity began to waver a little. The thing he really wanted to believe was starting to slip back into his mind. With this opportunity, he wanted to make sure of something.

Miao'er grabbed Yan Xu's hand with both of his slender hands, the larger hand was warm, warmer than before.

Her two beautiful brown eyes looked at Yan Xu with great care and firm determination.

Miao'er gave a strong push to his small mouth to open, this was the moment he had been waiting for in making sure at least, the person in front of him was likely to have the same soul.

"Can Senior Brother exemplify the temple?" pinta Miao'er solemnly.

Seeing the earnestness on the little face of his extremely rare junior sister, Yan Xu forgot for a moment how Miao'er kept his hand tightly as if it could not be removed.

With a warm smile, he began chanting a few stanzas that would connect him to everyone.

"Under the same month...."

"We share memories together ...."

"No matter how far apart we are ...."

"Memories are still beautiful like the moonlight that is always the same ...."

"The lovers long for each other at the arrival of the night ...."

"They lifted each other up in the same moonlight ...."

"By the company of silence and gusts of the night wind ...."

"The saying of togetherness will always be eternal under the same moonlight ...."

When the temple ended, Miao'er entered into a strange condition. He did not move in the slightest, as if time had stopped for himself.

The cause of all of that was that the stanzas spoken by Yan Xu were even exactly the same, there was no difference at all. Miao'er hesitates to behave when the thing he wants to believe actually happens before him.

Someone who has always been close to him at this time, is the same man as the person he has wanted to live with forever. However, there were still some things he could not say.

Miao'er was still worried whether he should say that he was actually a reincarnated human from Earth. If Yan Xu did not have the man's memories and only said a few similar things because the soul piece was the man he loved, their relationship would enter a complicated state.

When it was Miao'er who kept thinking hard how to respond to the miracle in front of him, Yan Xu who had been waiting for a long time for his junior sister's response was already unable to endure the silence between them.

"Junior Brother? Did you hear me? Are you still there? Oooiiii~~" he called Miao'er gently several times.

Immediately awakened from his deep thought, Miao'er smiled brightly. From the way he smiled sincerely, Yan Xu could tell that his junior sister was happy even though he did not understand what the cause was.

"Sorry Senior Brother, I think too much" Miao'er said as he stuck out his tongue.

"It's okay, sometimes when I think I'll also forget about it," replied Yan Xu not at all taking heart over the actions of his junior sister.

"By the way ..." Yan Xu glanced at his hand which was still held by Miao'er, "Can you let go?"

Following the direction of Yan Xu's gaze, Miao'er's eyes formed a crescent moon then he did not hesitate to hug Yan Xu from the side.

"A-Young Junior, please take care of your attitude according to our dao vows!"

"It's not just when we're in public. Now that there are only the two of us at this height, Miao'er will not let go of Senior Brother no matter what!" reply Miao'er without a care for Yan Xu who was already sweating coldly due to this sudden change.

'In this life, I will make you truly never escape me no matter what!' such was Miao'er's determination that he had declared loudly in his mind.

Yan Xu let out a long sigh and made an illusionary barrier to cover them. Just this once, he would let his junior sister do whatever she wanted so as not to disturb her happy face.

Yan Xu's tender heart towards Miao'er could not bear to see the happiest face of his junior sister would disappear if he did not come to play.

At least, he hoped that Miao'er would always be this happy in every day that he lived his life. That sincere hope was a natural thing for a senior brother to his junior sister, that was how Yan Xu thought.

...

Arriving at the main hall, the two brothers walked leisurely straight towards Elder Fan who was in the central administration section.

Looking at the figure he had not known in appearance but was very similar in part to his aura, Elder Fan's hardened expression turned soft.

He immediately approached the two men and women as he gave a greeting, "It has only been two days since our last meeting, I did not expect that we would meet again in such a bright atmosphere."

Yan Xu who was in the lead cupped his hands together and answered the greeting politely, "It's nice to see you again, Elder Fan."

Elder Fan laughed amusedly, "Hahaha~ you should have called me Brother Fan. Let's take that as courtesy in public for now. So, what business are you looking for me for, brother?"

Hearing how familiar Elder Fan was to his senior brother made Miao'er dumbfounded and unable to say. This even looked very strange as the person who was obviously much older than them even referred to himself as a younger brother!

Ignoring the confused feelings of his junior sister, Yan Xu remained in close conversation with Elder Fan.

"Before my business, isn't it more important to show you something I've painstakingly made for you, Elder Fan?"

Hearing that, Elder Fan's eyes widened and he was deeply moved by his ever-attentive brother. However, different from the previous days, he felt that there was something new this time.

Elder Fan immediately invited the two of them to his private office so that no one would listen to the important talk, "If that's what you want, how about we talk in my private office?"

Yan Xu immediately agreed, "Of course, just do it as comfortably as you."

That way, Yan Xu and Miao'er followed Elder Fan into his personal office.

...

Inside Elder Fan's private office.

Several documents were scattered everywhere and almost filled the entire room. The furniture in the room is also rather ancient because it follows the basic design of the last century, where the so-called machine even electricity does not exist at all in this world.

"I'm sorry if my office is too messy, I hope you're not offended. If I knew you were coming, I would immediately clean up this dizzying pile of paper" Elder Fan said as he gave a posture of letting them sit down.

Sitting Yan Xu said, "It's fine, it's my fault for visiting you frequently without notice. Besides, I already have the results of the ones we discussed before."

Elder Fan's old face began to tighten in surprise, "You mean, I can finally use it?!"

Yan Xu nodded with a smile, he took out a package containing three spiritual fish and three fake face yokes.

"Thanks to your direction in controlling the formation of faces using qi energy, this test product has finally been successfully created."

Ignoring Yan Xu's words, Elder Fan's body trembled violently. He carefully grabbed the fake facial skin then put it on.

After a while, he looked directly at the mirror. The face of a young man was handsome and handsome, and was his face when he was young and strong.

Tears of happiness flowed from the eyes of Elder Fan who yearned for the figure of the young appearance he so desperately wanted.

Seeing that, Yan Xu patted Elder Fan on the shoulder, "Brother Fan, your hope has finally materialized. I hope you can use and keep this stuff a secret with sage— Uhm?!"

Without warning, Elder Fan who changed forms embraced Yan Xu with sobs of happiness, "Sister Xu, I will always be your sister whether it be in this life or the next life! This vow will continue to exist as long as my soul remains intact and still kicks in any life!"

"Take it easy, brother."

Yan Xu tried to break away from the tight embrace of the self-proclaimed old man as his sworn sister. Even he had already used both of his legs to kick Elder Fan, yet the old man was still sticky like glue on his body.

Yan Xu glanced at Miao'er trying to ask for help, but Miao'er immediately turned his gaze and only laughed gigglingly.

The warm embrace filled with sobs of happiness an old and very sticky man finally ended after a few minutes later.

Elder Fan sat down grandly using his new face. Now, it was time for them to talk about important matters after giving the bribe—uhuk!— a gift to Elder Fan.

Yan Xu directly said their goal, "We want to go to the capital of the Great Ming Empire for one week, no less or longer."

From hearing that one sentence, Elder Fan already had speculations as to what his brother wanted.

"So, you need information, exit permits and special transportation so that one week is not wasted?"

"right."

Elder Fan nodded as he closed his eyes, immersed in the thought of a worker in the central administration of the sect.

As for traveling to the capital, it could take three to five days in the normal speed of a cultivator. While their time was very limited, there was no way Elder Fan could not understand that these two people needed transportation at such a high speed that at least a quarter of a day could get to the imperial capital.

For information, he was still lukewarm on what his brother wanted. Talking about this on the back of the above two should be the right move— no, it is indeed the order that is already correct.

Elder Fan who had thought about it carefully began to open his mouth.

"Your adultery will soon be in order when I have started working on it. For transportation, please give me an hour to find them. Next, what information do you need, brother?"

"I need information which parts of the capital are at least safe and convenient to visit. Since the plan to the capital is so impromptu, I haven't prepared myself to go where first."

"If you want to find a convenient place to visit, I suggest that you go to the northwestern region of the capital."

"What's there?" asked Yan Xu who was intrigued by his interest.

Elder Fan chuckled amusedly and took out a gold card then gave it to Yan Xu as he said, "With the special member card of the Jiang Family's trading base in the northwestern region of the capital, you can get anything for free depending on how valuable it is. So, you do not need to bring money in the transaction."

Hearing that brief explanation, Yan Xu quickly took the card thrust towards him, "God, Brother Fan really knows which one we need the most."

"Duh, Big Brother Xu praised me too much, hahaha ...."

The two laughed at each other as their needs were both met in a win-win situation.

After the preparations and information were done, Elder Fan paid his respects first to search for transportation and returned within ten minutes, with a troubled expression on his old face even though he was still smiling.

Behind her, a girl with an early 20-year-old appearance, black-haired to shoulder-top with a indigo-colored fairy robe entered the room.

He immediately smiled gently towards Yan Xu, making Miao'er who was next to Yan Xu feel a sense of danger and bring himself closer to his senior brother.

The woman chuckled as she said, "You guys look very familiar to each other."

"Of course!" miao'er replied with a smile full of absolute confidence in their bond.

Meanwhile, Yan Xu was still silent and observing the situation at hand. He would not act rashly towards that woman because Elder Fan alone could be subdued.

At least, the position of the woman was on top. Realizing that, Yan Xu immediately gestured to his junior sister to keep up the courteous behavior before the woman. The understanding Miao'er grudgingly dispelled his natural enmity.

Taking a passive and polite stance, Yan Xu immediately asked Elder Fan for an explanation.

"Chairman Fan, who is this charming Miss?"

"He ..." Elder Fan glanced slightly at the woman who was still smiling gently and again continued, "His name is Yin, he will usher in your departure as well as your return from the sect to the northwestern region of the imperial capital, he said, and vice versa."

"You can call me Aunt Yin because of the difference in generations and seniority," added the woman who was introduced as Yin by Elder Fan.

"Murid gave his regards to Aunt Yin," the two brothers immediately bowed and gave a respectful greeting.

"What a sweet student. No wonder Sister Xihe accepted you," Yin said in her distinctive tone.

"Does Aunt Yin know Master?" yan Xu asked while keeping his tone to look as polite as possible.

Yin nodded and said, "She is my sworn sister. So, you don't have to be too polite to me. Forget the formalities, just think of me as your teacher's sister helping her niece."

"Ji-if that's what Aunt Yin wants, the Disciple won't be disinclined because it's rude to refuse."

"That's you still too polite."

"Sorry, Disciple must get used to it first," replied Yan Xu smiling awkwardly.

Of course he was only pretending because the origin of Yin was still not satisfied. He also should not carelessly treat others, before seeing how strong they were when pitted against his teacher.

The savage thought of complaining to his teacher was of course Yan Xu's mainstay when in an urgent situation. If there was nothing particularly urgent, he would have finished all by himself without having to ask his teacher for help.

Aunt Yin sat on the chair opposite Yan Xu while Elder Fan was already farewell first because there was urgent work.

Yan Xu who could not bear the sharp gaze of Aunt Yin's purple eyes that continued to assess her body, began to voice her discomfort.

"Nmh ... Aunt Yin, how are we going to start?"

Aunt Yin stroked her chin and said in a friendly tone, "Hmmm .. First, let's start with an introduction first. My name is Yin, one of the elders of the sect and is a sworn sister to your teacher, Lan Xihe. What about you guys?"

Yan Xu cupped his hands together and said, "My name is Yan Xu, the oldest disciple at the Peak of the Wind."

Miao'er reluctantly followed his senior brother, "Miao'er, the second disciple of the Peak of Wind."

"If it's not wrong, the members of the Peak Wind are just the three of you, right?" ask Aunt Yin.

"really. Teacher's strict selection personality did not let just anyone enter into being a member," Yan Xu replied taking into account the nature of his teacher all along.

"True, my sister was very strict and fierce. I'm surprised this beautiful man and girl in front of me can still survive with behavior— !!!"

Brakk!!!

Yan Xu struck once on the table that was in front of them. The gentle look in his eyes immediately sharpened, killing intent could be seen flowing slightly out as he could still control.

"Aunt Yin, even if you are Master's sworn sister, the Disciple will never be able to accept the way you talk about Master from behind her. For the sake of the good relationship between us, please keep it well in your memory," Yan Xu said coldly, compared to 180° from his initial gentle and polite demeanor.

Aunt Yin's beautiful eyelids flickered a few times, even Miao'er was gaping wide in surprise with the sudden aggressive attitude of Yan Xu.

"God, Master and Disciple are really like fruits falling not far from the tree," there was admiration for how Aunt Yin answered the warning from Yan Xu.

Yan Xu withdrew his killing intent and loosened his facial expression, "Murid regard that as approval and praise."

"Indeed as it is," Aunt Yin lightly replied and moved from her seat.

"Since we already know each other, it's time for us to head to the capital of the Great Ming Empire!" aunt Yin said excitedly as she left Elder Fan's private office, while Yan Xu and Miao'er followed behind.

...

It took them five minutes until they arrived at the vast field without any people or pets there.

Yan Xu and Miao'er stared blankly at Aunt Yin who was standing in the middle of the vast field while clasping a silver token that pointed towards the sky.

"Senior sister, what is that woman doing?" miao'er whispered not to hide his displeasure.

"Hush! Don't do that, later if he hears you ..." Yan Xu caught the two little shoulders of his junior sister, "Bam! Your body will probably be split into hundreds of pieces!"

"Hieek!— Senior Brother, don't scare Miao'er!" miao'er's little nose swelled up in annoyance.

Yan Xu laughed heartily at the cuteness of his junior sister's angry face.

Aunt Yin, who watched them from afar, used her divine consciousness, and laughed even though the two men were unaware that they were being watched.

"God, seeing the two disciples Brother who can still joke around with each other when under his strict upbringing is truly a very rare occurrence. In this way, I can confirm that they do not have bad intentions or inadequate qualifications as direct disciples of the strongest holy maiden among the ten of us."

"It's time for me to show my teeth so as not to be constantly ridiculed by the little girl," Aunt Yin murmured as she channeled the qi energy into the silver token she was holding.

From the sky, a silver horse with five feet high and beautiful wings swooped sharply towards them. It was an extremely rare legendary mount, just like Lan Xihe's white swan.

The horse lowered its body, letting the passengers board. The three people jumped onto his shoulders and stood up straight.

Ensuring all the passengers were already on his shoulders, the silver horse flicked its wings and flew at full speed in the air towards the northwestern region of the imperial capital.

On a journey that took at least twenty minutes to get to the destination, Aunt Yin spoke again to break their silence.

"Yan Xu," called Aunt Yin gently.

"Yes?" Yan Xu who had quickly changed his way of speaking, had already become much more relaxed compared to before.

"What do you think of my mount?" there was a tone that was quite proud of how Aunt Yin asked.

Yan Xu who was not stingy about praise voiced his honest opinion, "Aunty Yin's mount is very gallant and beautiful. Can be seen from how he stomped his feet to the ground, the mightiness of this mount is really quite amazing and deserves a thumbs up."

Hearing the praise from Yan Xu, the horse roared several times as if to say that he was happy and asked to continue being praised.

"God, he really likes your compliments a lot," Aunt Yin continued her remark with a small mutter, "I hope all the men in this world can have tongues and faces like you."

Miao'er who had been silent had finally voiced out, "The world will soon be split into hundreds if all the men in the world are like Senior Brother."

"Eh? How could that be? This young girl of ours has a mind that—"

Before Aunt Yin finished her sentence, Miao'er immediately interrupted.

"After all, it's never going to happen. I'm sure, no man has the exact nature and uniqueness of Senior Brother in this world," Miao'er irresponsibly said as he shrugged both shoulders.

Hearing that irresponsible sentence, Yan Xu wanted to make a sound. However, he immediately paused his intention from seeing how Miao'er looked at Aunt Yin with hostility. The rest, he did not want to get involved between the two.

Aunt Yin who was standing in front seemed to have discovered something interesting from the relationship of her sister's disciples.

"Young Miss, you seem to love your senior brother very much. Aunty felt a little jealous because she didn't have a single man she could admire like that."

"Well, that's unfortunate. It's best for Aunt to hurry to find him if she doesn't want to be called an Old Bachelorette" Miao'er replied sniffling with a mocking smile.

"Aiya~ don't I have to look for her now?" Aunt Yin returned Miao'er's attack with a sly smile.

Miao'er frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, look!" Aunt Yin immediately hugged Yan Xu who was behind her, "How is it? Have you got the answer, Young Miss?~"

Different from what Aunt Yin expected, Miao'er just laughed out loud while holding her stomach as if something was amusing.

Satisfied with the laugh that was going on in front of him, Miao'er smiled crookedly, "Do you think I would be jealous, so? Senior Brother has perfect value in my eyes and my affection for him, will not be affected just because there are other women who also love him!"

Aunt Yin who was calm on the surface, was extremely astonished within her inner being, 'This little girl seems to have a problem in her brain, then what about ...'

Aunt Yin glanced at the face of the man she held in her arms, but instead of being human, she instead hugged the body of the substitute doll with Yan Xu standing two steps away from her.

The embarrassing incident made Aunt Yin lower her head with a face that was flushed with embarrassment. It has lived for a very long time, only this time there are young people who drop their dignity to the bottom of the mud pit.

No wonder these two disciples could survive the rigors of Lan Xihe's training. That was how it was in Aunt Yin's mind that quickly changed her expression to normal, as if the incident had never happened.

"Well, he changed his face very quickly. Senior Brother, you must be careful," Miao'er sneered with his crooked smile.

Yan Xu nodded in agreement, "You're right, Junior Brother. Thanks for the advice."

"Don't treat me like a freak!" aunt Yin shouted helplessly due to the treatment of these two savage disciples.

"Oh, just now Aunt Yin thought she was indeed strange. Though none of us called himself strange" the wail of pity was so thick in Miao'er's brown eyes that it constantly threw verbal attacks.

Not taking it anymore, Aunt Yin started whining even sobbing, "Hwaaaa!!! You're running me! Hicks! A-aku—hiks!— hwaaaa!!!"

He could not even say anything more because of his sobs. This time, Aunt Yin had actually fallen to the bottom of the mud pit dug by Miao'er without being able to crawl out.

Getting the perfect victory, Miao'er smiled in satisfaction and went back to being silent like a statue, without looking for more.

Meanwhile, Yan Xu calmed Aunt Yin who was still sobbing due to the merciless verbal attacks from her junior sister.

The beginning of Aunt Yin—'s encounter which was the disguise of Su Yinfeng, the Eternal Sect Head of Luo— was completely filled with the boundless bullying of the disciples of her two sisters, so that she was actually made to cry without being able to fight back in the slightest.
