Chapter 70: Seeking the Phoenix
To be honest, Lian Yun could be considered among the wise, yet the conversation between Meng Yixuan and Xi Men Yu Ying left Lian Yun somewhat enlightened, yet still puzzled.
At that moment, the general and Yao Yun'er approached. Upon seeing Xi Men Yu Ying, Yao Yun'er immediately appeared in front of Xiao Jun, arms wide open, glaring at Xi Men Yu Ying with utmost vigilance. "Don't you dare make a move on my senior brother."
"Pfft~~ Your senior brother is such a wooden block. I would love to make a move, but is there even an opportunity?" Xi Men Yu Ying scoffed disdainfully.
However, Yao Yun'er remained firm in her stance. "Even if there’s no opportunity, you still can’t make a move on my senior brother."
"Alright, alright! I won’t make a move on your senior brother, okay?" Yet Xi Men Yu Ying was gazing at Lian Yun with a face full of springtime brightness.
"No making a move!" the three women said in unison.
Meng Yixuan held onto Xi Men Yu Ying while the general stood protectively in front of Lian Yun.
Xi Men Yu Ying blinked her alluring eyes, not speaking but gazing into the distance.
In response, the three women reiterated their stance: "You are not allowed to make a move on Yun Di (Brother Yun)."
Lian Yun looked at Xi Men Yu Ying with some curiosity because from the behavior of the three women, it seemed that this Xi Men Yu Ying was quite fierce. However, their lack of disgust indicated that she might not be as bad as she appeared.
Noticing Lian Yun looking at her, Xi Men Yu Ying immediately shot him a playful glance that seemed to invite him to take liberties.
At this moment, the general had climbed onto Lian Yun's back and spoke very seriously for once. "Little brother, don’t think this general won’t take care of you. This woman has her sights set on countless men, as if collecting stamps—she's drawn to famous young talents. The more renowned they are, the more she likes them. So right now, you are definitely her target; you must be cautious!"
Uh~~ Lian Yun couldn’t help but freeze for a moment before shaking his head in speechless disbelief.
“Do you not feel disgusted by the filthiness of Young Master Yun?” Xi Men Yu Ying asked, her demeanor showing a bit more sincerity and a touch less seduction.
“Have you ever seduced a married man?”
Xi Men Yu Ying shook her head. The general, however, stabbed with words: “You just enjoy meddling!”
Lian Yun inadvertently took this to heart, smiling lightly as she replied, “If one does not forcibly dismantle another's family, those who succumb to Miss Xi Men’s allure are merely weak-willed individuals.”
“Although it could be said that I am somewhat lecherous and indulgent, since neither my Dream Sister nor the general have shown any signs of disdain towards you, it seems you are not the type to cruelly mistreat others.”
“If I were to dislike you, there would be no basis for it. Hmm~~ I only ask that you do not come to harm me.”
The four women simultaneously burst into laughter, finding it amusing yet unable to fully express their mirth.
Due to Xi Men Yu Ying’s particular interests, her allure was a mixed bag for the other women; it served as a test of loyalty for those they admired or revealed the true character of individuals.
However, many times things are not so straightforward; for instance, without temptation, there can be no infidelity. Yet Xi Men Yu Ying's interference could indeed ruin someone else's feelings.
But whether one finds her detestable or hateful is something outsiders truly cannot perceive.
Thus, to harbor dislike is difficult; however, there are likely many who do not like or even despise Xi Men Yu Ying.
While Lian Yun did not exactly hate her, she also did not wish to have too much contact with her—at least that was how she felt at the moment.
Nonetheless, Lian Yun's attitude pleased Xi Men Yu Ying greatly. She blushed shyly and then looked at Ximen Zhendao and said, “Hehe, I am quite happy today and it’s rare for me to go out with my sister. Uncle True Path, could you please fetch my treasured collection?”
“Uh~~ Is that the Phoenix Wine that even the head of the family cannot drink?” Ximen Daozhen asked, somewhat dumbfounded and shocked.
"Life rarely grants the chance to meet someone who doesn't despise me. Today, to encounter several at once while out for a stroll, this must be the only opportunity in my life. If I don't take out my unique treasure now, wouldn't it mean I would regret it for a lifetime?" Xi Men Yu Ying revealed a hint of melancholy.
Perhaps her 'lust' was not her true nature; it was just her body that couldn't be controlled!
Ximen Zhendao nodded seriously and said, "Alright, please wait a moment, Sister, Young Master Yun, Young Master Xiao, Dream Girl, Leader, Miss Yao."
With that, Ximen Zhendao turned and entered the Fragrant Pavilion. When he emerged again, he respectfully handed a beautifully carved brocade box adorned with two phoenixes to Xi Men Yu Ying.
He continued, "The family head just sent word to arrange for ten guards to escort you and the two young masters along with the three ladies."
Xi Men Yu Ying showed a slight displeasure at first, but Ximen Zhendao quickly added, "Sister, rest assured. The twenty guards are only there to help drive away any disturbances. They won't appear in your sight or that of the two young masters and three ladies."
After saying this, Ximen Zhendao seemed hesitant to continue.
Noticing his demeanor improve slightly, Xi Men Yu Ying said, "If there's anything else, just say it all at once!"
"Uh... The family head asked to leave some for him."
Xi Men Yu Ying couldn't help but chuckle lightly but then said somewhat carelessly, "We'll see how it goes. If there's any leftover, I'll save some for grandfather. If not, I can't be blamed for being unfilial."
"Understood. I will report truthfully."
At that moment, Meng Yixuan, who had been dumbfounded after hearing about the phoenix request, suddenly snapped back to reality and said with a hint of regret and longing, "If we could drink the phoenix request from my sister, I wonder if we could go to Phoenix Valley!"
"Eh? Has sister already begun composing her own exclusive music score?" Xi Men Yu Ying asked curiously and felt happy for Meng Yixuan.
Meng Yixuan smiled slightly and replied, "The name is the same as the current guzheng piece—Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix—but it’s not yet complete."
“True Path wishes Dream Girl to achieve her aspirations soon. However, if you are heading to Phoenix Valley, you will need someone from Yama Hall as protection.”
“Hmm! Let me ask Grandpa!”
From their previous conversation, Lian Yun understood that the Ximen Family Head was extremely fond of Xi Men Yu Ying. Now seeing Xi Men Yu Ying needing to inquire, it was clear that the members of Yama Hall were indeed exceptional.
Then, noticing the joy on Xi Men Yu Ying's face, Ximen Zhendao revealed an expression of surprise and admiration.
Xi Men Yu Ying held Meng Yixuan's hand and said, “Grandpa doesn’t want me to have any regrets in life; the Yama Palace Twelve Guards have already been dispatched.”
Meng Yixuan might not know what the Yama Palace Twelve Guards represented, but she understood that calling upon them was a significant favor. She smiled gratefully and remained silent.
“My grandpa said the Yama Palace Twelve Guards can only be active for three hours. We shouldn’t delay; let’s go!”
“Wait a minute, my food isn’t ready yet!”
“You glutton! Can anything you eat compare to your sister’s future?”
