Chapter 31: The Wise Jinshi x The Obsessed Emperor 10

On the road leaving the estate.

Yun Huai walked with a light step along the cobblestone path, his tall and slender figure resembling a graceful bamboo stalk.

His handsome and gentle face radiated a composed air, his brows were relaxed, and his phoenix eyes held a smile, like a jade-faced gentleman freed from a sea of suffering.

However, the two people blocking his path ahead gradually erased the smile from Yun Huai’s face.

“Esteemed sisters, please make way.”

Yun Shu let out a scoff. “Where is elder brother going? Could it be that you’ve been kicked out of the estate!”

She had been planning to go to Linfeng Courtyard to pick a fight! Who knew the other party would deliver himself to her doorstep.

Yun Huai’s expression remained calm, showing no anger.

“Where I go is none of your concern, nor do I need my two esteemed sisters to worry about it.”

He tried to walk around the pink-clad girl blocking his way, but the green-clad girl beside her blocked him again.

“Yun Huai, who allowed you to leave just like that!”

Yun Huai stopped walking, lazily asking, “What does second sister intend? Could it be that you’ve suddenly had the whimsical urge to chat with me as siblings?”

Yun Qi’s face darkened. “Based on you? Just an unfavored and lowly illegitimate son, how are you worthy of being my elder brother! What do you even amount to!”

“Who gave you the confidence to address me as a brother in front of me!”

She raised her hand, wanting to slap Yun Huai, but he grabbed her wrist, and she couldn’t break free.

“Second sister, it’s best to watch your tongue.”

The imperial guards following in the shadows silently snapped the branch of the tree where they were hiding. Many vibrant green leaves fell, but no one noticed them at all.

The imperial guard hiding behind the eaves gripped a tile, accidentally crushing the sturdy tile with too much force, and was pulled down hard by the person next to him.

Guard B: “Keep it down, it won’t be good if we’re discovered.”

Guard A: “Those two are really going too far, bullying Young Master Yun like that.”

Guard B: “As if I don’t know, but Young Master Yun won’t allow us to show ourselves.”

Guard C: “Before leaving the palace, His Majesty instructed us not to allow Young Master Yun to be harmed in the slightest, or else we’ll all be bringing our heads to see him.”

Guard B: “On one side is His Majesty, on the other is the future Empress, it’s such a difficult choice!”

Guard A: “What’s so difficult about it! If they continue to act recklessly, we’ll just kill them in the dark. It’s not like we don’t know how to launch sneak attacks!”

Guard C: “That makes sense.”

Guard B: “Let’s do as you say.”

The guards hiding in different positions continued to observe, but the hidden arrows in their sleeves were ready to be launched, prepared to kill the little biatches below at any moment.

On the other side, Yun Qi violently shook off Yun Huai’s hand, her eyes filled with anger. “Yun Huai! You dare to resist! Aren’t you afraid I’ll report you to Father and have you punished?”

“If you want to go, then hurry up, stop talking nonsense.” Yun Huai distastefully shook his wrist. She really only knew childish tricks.

Besides hitting and scolding, she only knew how to tattle.

Yun Shu stared intently at Yun Huai, the legendary transmigrated woman. She didn’t have any good feelings towards this cheap younger sister either. Yun Shu and Yun Qi were birds of a feather.

One was secretly vicious, the other openly mean.

He nonchalantly opened his mouth and said, “Could it be that you also want to complain to Father about me? Or are you going to follow second sister and attack me as well?”

“Heh, if you have the ability, then try it.”

He wasn’t a true proper scholar. The code of conduct of Lu Yan didn’t include ‘not hitting women.’ After all… whether female demons or female immortals, none of them were pushovers when it came to fighting.

Back then, when he hadn’t yet ascended to become an immortal, he fought against female demons and had been beaten up quite a bit, so naturally, he no longer had any thoughts of cherishing women.

Showing mercy to the opponent was being cruel to himself.

If he didn’t want to die, then he couldn’t show mercy. If he was truly weak and incompetent, he wouldn’t have been able to complete his missions successfully in so many no-romance worlds.

When facing difficulties, he never underestimated the power of women, nor would he care about face and talk about the useless principles of a gentleman.

Yun Shu lightly smiled, gracefully flicking a strand of hair beside her ear.

She hypocritically said, “Elder brother is joking, how could I attack elder brother!”

She wasn’t Yun Qi, that stupid girl who was spoiled rotten by Luo Shi, who only knew how to act high and mighty by relying on her status as a di daughter.

Why did she have to do some things herself?

Yun Huai was too lazy to waste any more words with them, directly saying, “I am leaving the estate today, and I will never step foot in the Yun estate again in this lifetime.”

“There’s no need to greet each other if we meet in the future, just treat each other as strangers as before.”

They didn’t care about Yun Huai, this eldest illegitimate brother, and he similarly didn’t care about these two di sisters.

One was a transmigrated female lead with vicious methods, the other was a brainless and foolish ancient di daughter. One wolf den couldn’t raise two good daughters.

Upon hearing this, Yun Shu didn’t rush forward again, coldly watching her second sister Yun Qi make a scene.

“As expected of an unpromising illegitimate son! You couldn’t even hold back before passing the imperial exam.”

“Hurry up and get lost! The Yun estate doesn’t welcome you!” Yun Qi’s mouth spewed out vicious words, lacking any of the composure of her mother.

“A bastard born from a lowly person, even if you’re lucky enough to grow up, you’re still an unwanted piece of trash.”

Yun Huai suddenly raised his hand, slapping Yun Qi, who was babbling non-stop, on the face.

“Slap!” The sound was crisp and clear.

His gentle brows and eyes were stained with some anger, and his eyes contained a few hints of cold fury.

“Yun Qi! I gave you some respect, but that doesn’t mean I’m really afraid of you.”

“Although I don’t want to argue with women, nor do I bother to engage in petty arguments with you.” His face was stern, and his words came out like knives. “But if you don’t know what’s called propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame, I don’t mind teaching you a lesson on behalf of your mother.”

Yun Qi covered her face, angrily saying, “Yun Huai! You actually dare to hit me in the estate!”

Yun Huai coldly said, “So what if I hit you? You kept calling me an illegitimate son and a bastard. I am your half-brother, yet you scold me like this. Aren’t you scolding the entire family?”

“So what if I’m an illegitimate son? Does that mean an illegitimate son isn’t human? You only have the title of a di daughter, but your character is not even as good as the daughters raised in ordinary families.”

Yun Qi angrily said, “You wait! I will never let you off easily today!”

Her expression was particularly ugly, and her eyes were as wide as bulging goldfish eyes.

“Bitch, I’ll tear your mouth apart!”

Yun Huai dodged Yun Qi, who lunged at him, and slapped Yun Qi again with his backhand.

“Your words are so foul, did you eat swill!”

“You have a head, but you’re not using it as decoration. You should make up for what your brain lacks!”

After he finished speaking, he was too lazy to pay attention to Yun Qi behind him, and left straight away with Zhang 嬷嬷 (momo, a respectful term for an older female servant) and Zhang Ping. For a moment, no one dared to stop them.

Yun Qi, who had been slapped twice for no reason, had bloodshot eyes, and her chest heaved up and down.

“Bastard! Dog thing!”

Her voice trembled. “I only scolded your bitch mother once, and you dare to hit me, and even dare to insult me so boldly. Then I will let you go and accompany her sooner!”

“Now that you’ve left the Yun estate, don’t even think about coming back.” Yun Qi, who was mindlessly furious, said with red eyes, “Yun Huai, you just wait to be a homeless ghost for the rest of your life.”

Yun Qi clenched her fists and quickly left, her eyes burning with inextinguishable anger.

Standing in place, Yun Shu lightly curled up the corners of her lips, smiling nonchalantly. “With Yun Qi around, I probably don’t need to take action.”

Yun Qi and her mother would definitely find ways to make Yun Huai’s life difficult, and may even try to kill him, and this might even become a great opportunity for her to bring down Yun Qi and her mother.

Now, she only needed to watch the show.
