The Naughty Senior Sister
The Midnight Invitation
Not noticeably, time passed just like that as Su Lixuan who questioned Yan Xu's true intentions in her plan. Su Yueyin was also immersed in their conversation, already not remembering how long the conversation had been going on.
This time, it could be considered that he was still unable to convince that Yan Xu did not have any intentions towards Su Lixuan. Meanwhile, he also finally found out that Su Lixuan was depressed due to her move to become a temporary elder at the Peak of Wind.
If he hadn't visited in a longer period of time, Su Yueyin was afraid that her third brother would have done too much. Fortunately, the decision he took to visit while giving up longing was right.
Recalling the order placed, Su Yueyin took out a large barrel containing wine.
"What's that?" su Lixuan asked as her two beautiful eyelids opened wide, looking at the golden barrel coming out from Su Yueyin's dimensional storage pouch.
"A gift he gave you."
"Oh! He was also very attentive!"
Forgetting how he had affected Yan Xu, Su Lixuan ran towards the large barrel and opened it quickly to see the contents.
When opened, the fragrance from the wine inside spread throughout the room. Just by the aroma alone, makes anyone who breathes it feel comfort and warmth. The stability of the qi energy present in their dantian cores was also more stable.
Su Lixuan froze when she saw the contents of the wine barrel.
Seeing that unusual thing, Su Yueyin immediately summoned Su Lixuan to bring her to reality.
"Third Brother?"
"Third Brother, do you hear me?"
"— Oooiii~~ ...."
Su Yueyin called out to him a few times, yet there was no answer until a few seconds later ....
Su Lixuan turned towards Su Yueyin and held her two slender jade hands tightly. He called out to Su Yueyin gently and an unprecedented warm gaze.
"Yin'er ...."
Sensing something strange, Su Yueyin became somewhat hesitant to reply. However, he still replied even though his voice was held back.
"Y-yes?"
"I've changed a thousandth of my impression of him, he's a good guy."
Su Yueyin furrowed her brows feeling puzzled, "What the hell is that?"
"You don't know what wine this is?" su Lixuan's beautiful eyelids widened, disbelieving the reaction of her junior sister.
"No, he's never shown it to me."
"Oh .. after seeing this, do you know?"
Su Yueyin looked at the contents of the barrel and simply said, "That's wine right?"
"Yes, continues?" su Lixuan's gaze that led to her grew even more hopeful.
There were a few black lines on Su Yueyin's beautiful forehead that were slightly pouting as she coldly answered her third brother's expectations, "That's all I know."
Sighing with a disappointed look, Su Lixuan immediately approached herself to Su Yueyin and whispered, "Usually, people who give out barrels and wine like this are intended for homage to the bride's parents, from the groom."
"...." - ".Su Yueyin fell silent and lowered her head, not knowing what to answer.
Meanwhile, Su Lixuan suddenly stood up, "Hmph! He does know how to behave, but it's still not enough to get my blessing!"
Su Lixuan showed the lid of the barrel that had an invitation inscription using qi energy and said, "He invited the two of us to meet just at midnight in one of the special rooms of the Eastern Pavilion, which is the only one, by tonight. If my guess is correct, it looks like this man wants you to become a full member of the Peak Wind. That's why he called us both tonight."
"No way." Su Yueyin denied with disbelief and was somewhat inferior.
Not letting his little princess' funny reaction go to waste, Su Lixuan further teased him, "What do you mean impossible? Just look at how he prepared this all specifically for you."
"That's because .. tomorrow we'll start producing pills. So, where could he prepare for such an important meeting. Especially at this moment, he was resting in his private room."
Su Yueyin constantly looked for rational reasons to connect each point of events that made Su Lixuan's statement out of sync with reality.
Hearing that, Su Lixuan shook her head disapprovingly and said, "Son, she does have two hands attached to her body, indeed, but have you forgotten every hand that will move at his command out there?"
That question was somewhat difficult to guess for Su Yueyin who lost half her composure due to Su Lixuan's overly sudden opinion. However, thanks to that insistence he came to mind a few things that might be connected to the answer that his third brother wanted to listen to.
"Perhaps, she asked her junior sister for help to prepare for the meeting place."
Su Lixuan nodded her head in agreement, then there was a sly smile on her pretty face.
"Do you think we'll come?" su Lixuan asked using a tone as if offended.
Seeing how his third brother's expression was, Su Yueyin nodded and said, "You guys will definitely come."
"Right, he must have guessed about our unease all along and used that to make sure that the meeting would happen. Using the available opportunities, he might want to get us to agree and help you move permanently to the Peak of the Wind."
Bruk!
Su Lixuan's slender arms hit the table that was in front of them, creating a quite loud sound.
"But! Indirectly, he also made you a prisoner to guide us!"
"Huh?" Su Yueyin dropped her jaw, speechless anymore with Su Lixuan's opinion.
He did not think that Yan Xu had taken himself prisoner. Logically, he himself is free to go anywhere without being restricted in the slightest. So, the mana part that made him was called a prisoner by his third brother.
Seeing the confusion in his little princess' eyes, Su Lixuan immediately explained, "Because you are becoming an important element in our lives, he will always talk about things related to you to weaken us both later. There is no need to use you as a prisoner of life, just by your name alone, he already holds the weak points of both of us!"
'Third Brother, what crazy thoughts are you talking about right now?' Su Yueyin was anxious to say that right in front of Su Lixuan's face, yet she held it back.
He could get the point from that explanation. Su Yueyin also felt happy that it was true because that way, she would become a permanent member of the Wind Peak and there would be no gap between them later on.
However, what he heard next made Su Yueyin grow grim.
"Then you will come with us! We will make you a prisoner!"
Su Lixuan planned to counter that strategy by holding the original person hostage, so that Yan Xu could not sell Su Yueyin's name against them.
Su Yueyin who sensed a dangerous change of situation was about to flee. Shit, he was late and his body felt like it was being held back by an invisible wall when it wanted to take a distance of over three meters from where Su Lixuan was.
"Third Brother, You!—Ugh! ...."
Su Lixuan smiled cunningly and had already locked onto Su Yueyin's movements using her luring technique, making Su Yueyin unable to move far away from her. Unable to resist, Su Yueyin could only become obedient and frown after her third brother's play.
On the other hand, Su Weiyan who was listening to their conversation secretly also nodded in agreement and was still preparing something to eat. This time, he prepared more as Su Yueyin would stay until midnight with them today.
"Xuanxuan always acted impulsively when it came to Yin'er. There's nothing I can do to help you, son. My good niece, it all depends on you. This good uncle of yours is just following the situation around him."
Somehow, the wind brought by Yan Xu seemed to have affected Su Weiyan little by little without her noticing. A small part of Su Weiyan, had accepted Yan Xu as her son-in-law. However, the other part still could not due to the influence of the wife as well as the punishment she received due to the incident a year ago.
