Bai Feng: "..."

Well, maybe it's better to let it go.

Lin Yan noticed Bai Feng's silence and assumed he was worried about the matter. He patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Bai brother! With me around, I guarantee I'll catch this person's little tail!"

"Thank you, Lin brother," Bai Feng replied without refusing. "But if you find any clues, please don't act on them right away."

He certainly didn't want to receive news about a son of destiny being manipulated to pressure another son of destiny.

"Rest assured, I'll let you know first," Lin Yan nodded. It was clear that Bai Feng intended to take matters into his own hands, so Lin Yan needed to find information about the mastermind as quickly as possible.

...

After chatting for a while longer, Lin Yan took his leave.

Bai Feng hadn't returned to his study when Bai Yu Mo pushed the door open and walked in.

"Sis, I won't say anything if you don't knock, but could you please focus on your training instead of coming over to my place every day?"

Bai Feng felt a bit speechless. While he did need a sense of security, he didn't need her popping in every day! It was as if she treated his home like her own.

He had a feeling that if he invited Bai Yu Mo to live with him, she would agree without hesitation.

"I can train here too, and I actually progress faster than over there," Bai Yu Mo skillfully placed the ingredients she was holding into the kitchen. "Bro, what do you want to eat today?"

"…I've been eating a bit too oily lately. Let's go for something lighter."

Watching Bai Yu Mo busily working in the kitchen, Bai Feng felt something was off.

When did their relationship become like this?

His sister seemed to have grown up wrong; she didn't feel like a sister anymore but more like a caretaker.

"By the way, if you think my training speed is fast here, I could install a Spirit Gathering Array in your house too."

As Bai Feng spoke, he watched Bai Yu Mo tie on his apron and expertly turn on the 'spiritual energy stove' to cook. His gaze was a bit complicated. "If you like that sort of thing, I can set you up with a full set when I install the array."

"Let's talk about it later," Bai Yu Mo casually changed the subject. "Oh, by the way, Senior Sister Ji from Zixiao Peak invited us over for dinner."

"Huh? Senior Brother Luo Chen is getting married?"

"No, it's because a junior brother from Zixiao Peak just broke through to Foundation Establishment. Since Senior Sister Yu Yao has a good relationship with them, she invited us to celebrate."

Bai Feng fell silent for a few seconds. "Is it really necessary?"

As the eldest son of the Bai family, he didn't even have a celebration after successfully establishing his foundation—just an extra chicken leg added in the kitchen.

"So, are we going?" Bai Yu Mo turned to ask.

"Not going, not interested."

Bai Feng shook his head. While he enjoyed gossip, he wasn't interested in just any gossip, especially not the kind involving a sycophant. Too much of that could lead to heart problems.

Plus, going to Zixiao Peak? Who knew if a few sons of destiny's lackeys would show up to target him?

"Alright, then I'll let Senior Sister Yu Yao know."

Bai Yu Mo nodded and continued to expertly plate the dishes she had cooked.

Bai Feng thought this matter would pass just like that, until...

A few nights later, Bai Feng sat by the window, resting his chin on one hand, listening to the cheerful sounds outside, which he found quite annoying.

So, why was the celebration being held at Qingzhu Peak?

"Junior Brother, stop hiding in your room and come out to play!"

A cheerful voice called from outside the door. Bai Feng ignored it, but a few seconds later, he saw a small head poking in through the window.

It was a 'little girl' who barely reached his chest. She propped her hands on the windowsill and kicked her short legs vigorously.

"Junior Brother, I knew you were in here!"

Bai Feng looked at the little one in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

This was Senior Sister Yu Yao, but it seemed her brain had stopped growing along with her body, leading her to often act in strange ways.

Noticing Bai Feng's lack of enthusiasm, Yu Yao chuckled awkwardly, her face wearing an apologetic smile. "Sorry! I saw you hiding in your room and hardly coming out, so I thought I'd throw a little party to cheer you up."

Oh, so that's why the celebration is at Qingzhu Peak—it's because of you!

He really wanted to grab her little legs and toss her off the mountain.

"Is it possible that I'm not going out because I'm studying formations?"

Bai Feng sighed. He actually had a decent impression of Senior Sister Yu Yao. During his month at Qingzhu Peak, she had often helped him and Bai Yu Mo. She was genuinely a good person, but... her thinking seemed a bit too aligned with her height.

Yu Yao smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, sorry! Is there anything you want? Senior Sister will buy it for you!"

"…"

I'm only a junior brother because I joined Qingzhu Peak late, not because I'm younger.

Bai Feng sighed again. He felt that Bai Yu Mo had been easier to deal with when she was younger!

"Come on, come on! I also invited the sisters from Zixiao Peak. If you're interested, I can introduce you to them~"

Yu Yao lowered her voice, glancing around as if she were sneaking around.

"No thanks, I'm not interested in the sisters from Zixiao Peak."

Bai Feng waved his hand without hesitation. No way! Zixiao Peak was the territory of Luo Chen, the son of destiny. Besides, Zixiao Peak had been so thoroughly licked by sycophants that their brains were scrambled. He'd have to be crazy to want to get involved with them.

"Well, if you go, I'll give you a great gift that I guarantee you'll love." Yu Yao looked around again, this time even more cautiously. "But don't tell anyone, okay? I worked hard to get this."

With that, she pulled out a book from her storage bag. The cover looked very familiar, especially the elegant characters for "Spring and Autumn," which gave him a sense of urgency to get back to writing.

Bai Feng looked at the "Spring and Autumn" that had been stuffed into his arms and then at Yu Yao's eager face.

At this point, he didn't even know what expression to wear.

You seriously gave a junior brother who just joined a month ago a "Little Emperor's Uncle"? What disciple could handle such a test?

But the author of "Little Emperor's Uncle" could.

"Senior Sister, how did you get this book?" Bai Feng sighed.

"Because I heard that if you give this to a boy, they'll be really happy," Yu Yao said with a smile (???) that suggested she thought she understood boys well. "Besides, it's just a little revealing; it's not like it's one of those books with explicit content."

"But aside from those three points, everything else is exposed!"

Yu Yao looked surprised. "Huh? You've seen it too?"

Bai Feng replied flatly, "Bai Yu Mo didn't tell you? I live in Qinghong City."

Upon hearing Bai Feng's answer, Yu Yao perked up. She climbed onto the windowsill, her face filled with excitement. "Can you bring me a few more books?"

Bai Feng: "?"

Is it appropriate for a junior brother to be carrying "Little Emperor's Uncle"?

Chapter 28: So It Was You Who Was Shearing My Sheep!

It seemed Yu Yao also realized she was a bit too excited. She quickly straightened her posture, a hint of embarrassment on her face.

"Actually, I really like making clothes. The books by Teacher Spring and Autumn always inspire me."

"…"

Oh, so it was you who made Bai Yu Mo's clothes! You're the one who was shearing my sheep at Tianjian Sect!

Today, I'm settling old scores along with new ones!

Yu Yao suddenly gritted her teeth. "If you help me out, I can share a portion of the money I make from selling clothes with you!"

"Huh? Tell me more!"

As for shearing sheep, what sheep? I've never heard of it!

"Well, it's just..."

But before Yu Yao could get close to share her business plan, a voice suddenly came from the side:

"Bro, Senior Sister, what are you two doing here instead of joining the party?"

Bai Yu Mo stood nearby, tilting her head with a curious smile on her face.

However, Bai Feng felt that this smile seemed a bit dangerous. As Bai Yu Mo focused her attention on Yu Yao, he quietly stuffed the book into his storage bag.

"Ahem!" Yu Yao, being thick-skinned, coughed a couple of times and said with wide eyes, "I just saw Junior Brother hiding in his room, so I came to encourage him to come out and play."

"Then why are you standing so close?" Bai Yu Mo still wore that curious smile.

"Uh, why is that?"

Yu Yao was suddenly at a loss for words. She looked at the sky, then at Bai Feng, only to find him enjoying the show. She felt a strong urge to bite someone.

"Of course, it's because Senior Sister wanted to trick me into coming out, using the excuse of making custom clothes for me."

Bai Feng helped Yu Yao out, after all, the two might become partners in the future, and it was better not to make things too awkward for a potential collaborator.

Seeing this, Yu Yao quickly seized the opportunity. "Yeah, yeah! I was planning to give you a surprise."
