Chapter 12: The protagonist still wanted to stir up a storm, and I said, “Your sister is really soft.”

“You?”

Lin Yueyao’s delicate body trembled, and she froze on the spot.

Her mouth hung wide open, and she did not even notice some unknown liquid dripping into her cherry lips.

Gasp!

All around her, people drew in sharp breaths.

“Good grief, Senior Brother Ning spit on Lin Yueyao’s face?”

“Watch your mouth; he only spat a faceful of saliva.”

Before the crowd could collect themselves.

Ning Bei had already grabbed the embarrassed and bewildered Qin Jiujiu and strode away.

Qin Jiujiu did not resist, for at that moment she only wanted to flee this place.

Laughter echoed around them.

“Ha-ha, I told you Senior Brother Ning would never go back to his ex.”

“What was Lin Yueyao thinking, and how could she still have the face to ask to get back together?”

“So much for rumors stopping with the wise; they must feel no guilt about holding hands!”

…

The surrounding sneers snapped Lin Yueyao out of her daze, and she shouted in shame and anger, “Ning Bei, stop right there and explain yourself…”

She had just tried to chase after them, but Qin Yu blocked her.

“Yueyao, calm down,” Qin Yu hurriedly said, “wait for me and leave this to me; I’ll go ask Jiujiu what happened first.”

…

Watching the two walk away hand in hand, Lin Yueyao trembled with rage and cold.

She could not believe that the Ning Bei who once pampered her to the core was treating her like this again and again.

And he even held another woman’s hand and left right in front of her?

This stirred a tension and anxiety she had never felt before, yet her subconscious pride kept her from facing it.

“Ow, who kicked me?”

Qin Yu had only taken one step when someone kicked him flying.

Bang, bang, bang!

Next, countless big feet rained down on him, kicking him until he could not even open his eyes.

“Damn it, who’s hitting me; stop it!”

Lin Yueyao turned pale at the sight, could think no further, and could only drag Qin Yu away like rats crossing the street.

…

The scene shifted to Qin Jiujiu’s small courtyard.

After taking a lap outside, Ning Bei returned and pretended to pant as he said, “Jiujiu, I have found out everything.”

Hearing this, Qin Jiujiu’s delicate face shifted, and she hurriedly asked, “Ning Bei, who exactly is spreading rumors about us?”

“Your brother.”

“What?”

“It was Qin Yu and Lin Yueyao,” Ning Bei said slowly, meeting the girl’s astonished gaze, “while we were in the Divine Mirror, Qin Yu egged Lin Yueyao on to gather a few junior sisters and spread rumors about us everywhere, trying to make you stay away from me.”

“Look, they’ve been brought here.”

Ning Bei pointed in that direction.

Several Discipline Hall disciples were escorting four outer-sect female disciples over.

These girls were all Lin Yueyao’s close sisters and had spread rumors to smear Qin Jiujiu and Ning Bei under the guise of helping their friend’s romance.

Yet these so-called devoted sisters had now exposed themselves as fair-weather friends.

“Senior Sister Qin, it’s not our fault; Lin Yueyao forced us to do it.”

“We didn’t dare resist her, and she also said Qin Yu ordered it, claiming to be your brother, so we agreed.”

As soon as they arrived, the four sold the two out.

After all, facing Ning Bei and Qin Jiujiu, the two chief disciples, how could four mere outer-sect disciples still dare to act up?

“…Take them away and punish them according to the rules!”

Qin Jiujiu ground her silver teeth, unwilling to waste words on them.

Her heart was a whirl of emotions, for she had never imagined that all of this was the work of her own brother.

“Yes!”

Several Discipline Hall disciples quickly dragged the girls away.

“Sorry, Jiujiu,” Ning Bei looked at the girl and said in a low voice, “I didn’t expect things to be this serious either.”

“This isn’t your fault,” Qin Jiujiu lifted her slim neck and gazed at Ning Bei, “if anyone should apologize, it should be me; if I didn’t have such a useless brother, you wouldn’t have been dragged into this, and you wouldn’t have fallen out with Lin Yueyao like this…”

Halfway through, she felt too ashamed to continue.

After all, saddled with such a brother who first flirted with someone else’s fiancée and then slandered Ning Bei’s integrity, every deed was outrageous.

Because they were siblings, Qin Jiujiu could not help feeling guilty whenever she looked at Ning Bei.

[Congratulations, host; the Child of Destiny’s sister has undergone a major change of heart and will henceforth play a more favorable role in your life.]

[Reward: 5,000 Revenge Points.]

Huh?

Ning Bei’s lips twitched harder than a Barrett rifle’s recoil.

He knew that the system’s prompts were iron-clad facts, which proved that Qin Jiujiu would no longer side with Qin Yu.

On the contrary, she might stand with him and fight Qin Yu together.

It was simply an unexpected delight!

At that moment, footsteps sounded outside.

Qin Yu suddenly paid a visit.

He had originally been stopped outside the core area, but despite being beaten black and blue he still insisted on seeing Qin Jiujiu.

The gate disciples had no choice but to come and report.

Qin Jiujiu did not refuse and ordered someone to bring him in.

“Aren’t you going to ask me why I still agreed to see him?” Qin Jiujiu looked at the silent Ning Bei and asked curiously.

Ning Bei looked harmless and said, “He is your brother; I will respect your decision.”

“Ning Bei…”

Qin Jiujiu pressed her lips together.

At that moment, she even fantasized what it would be like if Ning Bei were her brother.

As soon as the thought rose, she shook her head to dismiss it and blushed instead, for the two of them had already done certain things.

Not long after, the silence stretched.

Qin Yu was brought in; seeing Ning Bei there too, he pulled a long face and said, “Jiujiu, why are you still with him? He has already ruined your reputation.”

…

Hearing this, Qin Jiujiu remained silent.

For the first time, she felt such intense hatred and disgust for her brother.

She could even call it loathing.

To take revenge on someone else, he even sacrificed his own sister’s honor and then played the victim.

Utterly disgusting!

“Hey, stay away from my sister from now on, got it?” Qin Yu pointed at Ning Bei, knowing the latter would not dare strike him right now.

Ning Bei said nothing.

“Have you had enough?” Qin Jiujiu could no longer bear it and cut him off coldly.

“Jiujiu?”

Qin Yu blinked, then said with exasperation, “I’m doing this for your own good; as a girl, you should know how important your reputation is.”

“Hah, how long do you intend to keep pretending?” Qin Jiujiu said mercilessly, “do you really think I don’t know it was you who urged Lin Yueyao to spread rumors about me and Ning Bei; who exactly ruined my reputation?”

“I…”

Qin Yu froze at her words, embarrassment flashing across his face at having been exposed.

He had not expected this to be revealed and hurried to argue, “Jiujiu, listen to me, don’t believe others blindly; I am your brother, how could I possibly harm you…”

“Enough,” Qin Jiujiu clenched her silver teeth, “I agreed to see you today to make things clear; from now on you are not allowed to claim to be my brother outside the sect, I do not have a brother like you, and you are not to use my name to do anything, am I clear?”

Thud!

Hearing this, Qin Yu was stupefied.

How could the sister he had always regarded as his pride treat him like this?

Yet he did not reflect on himself and instead blamed Ning Bei, “Was it you; what did you say to my sister; you bastard ruined her reputation and now you’re trying to drive a wedge between us, aren’t you?”

“Jiujiu, don’t believe him!” Qin Yu looked at Qin Jiujiu again, “that bastard hit me, I’m your brother, shouldn’t you avenge me, how can you still be so close to him?”

Ning Bei had not yet spoken.

Qin Jiujiu suddenly wrapped her arm around his and said to Qin Yu, “Stop blaming everything on Ning Bei; do you really want him to ruin my reputation; fine, I’ll tell you the truth, I have long belonged to Ning Bei.”

“Jiujiu, don’t talk nonsense.”

Qin Yu’s mind buzzed at her words, and he hurried to stop her.

He already envied Ning Bei, so how could he accept his sister being with him; he could not bear even the notion.

It would make him miserable.

Yet the next moment Ning Bei wrapped his arm around Qin Jiujiu’s waist, met Qin Yu’s angry and shocked stare, and chuckled.

“Your sister is really supple~”
