Chapter 172: The Right Way to Sow Discord (Fourth Update)

This was already the fifth time ‘Ye Meijing’ had been ignored by Fatty. She was getting anxious too. She was clearly beautiful, but Fatty looked at her like she was a ghost.

As if realizing that ‘Ye Meijing’ was angry, Fatty explained the reason for his attitude.

“Sister-in-law, you’re Big Sister’s woman. Of course, I have to be cautious. But you two really look like a married couple, even your way of speaking…” The more Fatty spoke, the more uneasy he felt. He glanced at ‘Ye Wenxin’ and then at ‘Ye Meijing’, as if he had finally realized what was wrong.

“Big Sister, are you Big Sister?” Fatty looked at ‘Ye Meijing’ in astonishment, finally understanding why ‘Ye Meijing’ seemed closer to him, while his own big sister was so distant and indifferent.

‘Ye Meijing’ calmed down and did not hide the fact that she had disguised herself. She explained quietly to Fatty, “Yeah, I brought the mercenary.”

Of course, she was very afraid that Fatty would continue speaking and reveal all her secrets to Fairy Fengya. If that happened, Ye Wenxin would really be in trouble.

Fatty suddenly realized, and looked at Fairy Fengya with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He continued to flatter her diligently. “As expected of Big Sister, to come up with such a low… uh, no, brilliant method.”

‘Ye Meijing’ smiled faintly, but to outsiders, it seemed like a strange combination of beauty and beast, making them both envious and jealous.

But only Fatty knew the ins and outs of the situation. ‘Ye Meijing’ gritted her teeth, and continued, “Fatty, I feel like you’re in need of a spanking lately.”

Fatty’s heart jumped. He hurriedly changed the subject. “I wouldn’t dare. But Big Sister, who is this? Is she formidable? Can she make it to the finals?”

‘Ye Meijing’ was naturally prepared for this question; when Fatty asked, she casually revealed: “Oh, this is Fairy Fengya.”

Fatty’s smile faded slightly, completely disbelieving Ye Wenxin’s nonsense. Moreover, this was not the first time Ye Wenxin had spouted nonsense about Fairy Fengya.

“Hehehe, Big Sister, you’re still as humorous as ever.”

Ye Wenxin, speaking truthfully, once again felt life’s spite. She just wanted to be an honest, good kid, but no matter how many times she brought up Fairy Fengya, no one ever believed her.

“However, if Big Sister truly likes Fairy Fengya, there’s a big opportunity. Rumor has it that someone dissatisfied with Fairy Fengya pretending to take on disciples, has complained to the Sect Master.”

Upon realizing that ‘Ye Meijing’ was actually his true Big Sister, Fatty started chattering away with ‘Ye Meijing’ again.

‘Ye Meijing’ felt an anxious flutter in her heart as they were openly gossiping about Fairy Fengya. However, she knew that Fairy Fengya was not the kind of person to hold grudges, and even if she did, she could not do anything about it. So, she continued to inquire about the source of this gossip.

“I heard it from a senior brother I get along with. But I didn’t think Gu Aotian would dare to do such a thing. So, I asked around and found out that Su Mei went with him.” Fatty thought of his brother, who was once a rising star but had now become so useless, which frustrated him somewhat.

“What happened later?” ‘Ye Meijing’ continued to inquire about the follow-up, even catching the attention of Fairy Fengya beside her. Although her expression remained the same, ‘Ye Meijing’ sensed that she had no idea about this matter at all.

“The Sect Master seemed very impatient and said that if Gu Aotian took the top spot again, Fairy Fengya would acknowledge him.”

“Pfft…”

‘Ye Meijing’ could not help but laugh out loud.

Leaving aside the character of the Sect Master, the old fox, this statement completely shut down Gu Aotian and Su Mei’s intentions.

At the recruitment assembly, Gu Aotian became the fake top candidate. Ye Wenxin did not want to draw attention to herself, so she gave the title to him.

But the Immortal Sect Grand Tournament was different. Gu Aotian had been driven in the beginning, but later on, his intelligence declined due to Su Mei, and he obviously lost his male lead qualification.

Although it was strange for Ye Wenxin, a villain, to pass this judgment, she did not want to experience another trauma like Zhao Teddy.

Now, with the Sect Master setting such stringent conditions, it was clear that he also did not have much hope for Gu Aotian.

“That’s not the main point, the main point is that the Sect Master told them that this time, the champion would also become Fairy Fengya’s true disciple.” Fatty noticed the conversation veering off track and quickly corrected himself to say what he intended to.

‘Ye Meijing’ looked at Fairy Fengya, who shook her head subtly. It seemed that she was completely unaware of the pitfall dug by the Sect Master.

“And that’s why I asked if this mercenary is any good.” Fatty thought the two were negotiating prices, and hoped that ‘Ye Meijing’ could spend some money to secure a champion title.

In that case, Ye Wenxin would be Fairy Fengya’s second true disciple.

Of course, it would only be in name.

“But look at Gu Aotian’s outcome, even if I became that woman’s, uh, no, the disciple of the most beautiful woman in the world, I’d probably still be ignored. And besides, the price for becoming the champion is quite steep. I probably couldn’t afford it even if I gave up everything.” 

‘Ye Meijing’ saw Fatty’s expectations, but did not tell him that she was currently being forced to become Fairy Fengya’s true disciple. Not only that, but this Fairy Fengya was also going all out to pave the way for Ye Wenxin, even personally stepping into the ring.

Setting aside past grievances, this gesture deeply moved Ye Wenxin.

“Well, how much would it cost approximately? Let me discuss it with the gang. After all, with Fairy Fengya’s name, things will go more smoothly for us in the future.” After some contemplation, Fatty decided to grit his teeth and support Ye Wenxin in continuing to become Fairy Fengya’s disciple.

“It’s really not necessary, and besides, she might not even win.” ‘Ye Meijing’ looked at Fatty, who seemed ready to sacrifice everything, and ultimately could not bear to deceive her well-meaning little brother.

Hearing this, Fairy Fengya’s lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to protest against ‘Ye Meijing’ thinking she was weak. However, when she felt ‘Ye Meijing’ holding her hand, she ultimately remained silent, not saying anything.

This was their previous agreement: Fairy Fengya could not disrupt Ye Wenxin’s social interactions or reveal her own identity, causing chaos in Ye Wenxin’s social circle.

Therefore, Fairy Fengya remained silent.

But seeing the way ‘Ye Meijing’ held ‘Ye Wenxin’s hand, Fatty, who was still talking, became visibly uneasy, realizing that what his Sister-in-law was most concerned about was unfolding.

It seemed that his Big Sister and this mercenary had developed an unusual bond. Fatty felt he had to respond to Xiao Zhang’s expectations.

As he thought about it, he came up with an idea to sow discord. So, pretending to be very surprised, Fatty said, “Big Sister, could it be that this person is actually Sister-in-law Xiao Zhang?”
