Chapter 966: You Are Fooled
Translator: RITF_Rain Editor: Chrissy
Ye Xiao just felt it so weird to call her Miss.
It sounded like he was satirizing her by calling her that.
However, the truth was, he was shocked again.
After he called her Miss Xuan… Xuan Bing didn't feel annoyed at all. She didn't stop him. She didn't get mad at him.
[Oh?]
[Does it mean… She accepts it?]
Ye Xiao felt relieved. [It seems this Great Elder Xuan Bing is a weird person. How weird!]
If Han Bingxue were Ye Xiao, he would definitely believe Xuan Bing fell in love with him.
However, Ye Xiao was not Han Bingxue. He was just a stupid young man with no such kind of experience.
No matter how narcissistic Ye Xiao was, he wouldn't believe this great female cultivator would fall in love with him.
That seemed to be the biggest joke there ever was in the world!
It remained a question in his heart though. [Why? How come? There must be a reason for this?]
Xuan Bing, a woman who suppressed the entire realm, before whom nobody dared to gasp heavily, actually allowed Ye Xiao to call him Miss Xuan, such a weird appellation. That confused Ye Xiao for a long time.
"Ye Jun, what's the relationship between you and Han Bingxue?" Xuan Bing squinted at Ye Xiao as she slightly bit her own lips.
"Ha. We are brothers. Sworn brothers," Ye Xiao answered cautiously.
"Liar! How could you? That's ridiculous!" Xuan Bing wasn't being polite.
Ye Xiao freaked out once again.
[Heavens… Dear sister… grandmother… my great grandmother… Please… Do you have to call me a liar every time after I answer your question? Can I ask you something? What should I say to stop being a liar to you?]
"You have just come to this world not long ago. Han Bingxue is not a good man, and he is known to be always alone. Besides, he is so much more powerful than you. Why would he recognize you as a brother? Sworn brother?" Xuan Bing was confused. She looked at Ye Xiao and said, "There must be a reason that you don't want to tell me!"
"Well…" Ye Xiao rubbed his head and said, "I don't know. I am sure he is my brother anyway!"
"Ah. You are new to this martial world. You don't know how vicious a man can be in this world. Maybe he just stays with you for some evil purpose. He may be flattering you so that he can get something he wants from you. I believe there is nothing you have that attracts him, but maybe something that is related to you attracts him… Otherwise, why would he be your brother? Kiddo, you are naive like other kids. Just a few simple words and you are persuaded. I am afraid you may get yourself sold by him!"
Xuan Bing was just having a guess, but as she said so, she felt it more and more possible. Finally, she concluded, "Han Bingxue is a bastard. He must have some unspoken purpose to stay with you. He is not truly kind to you! I am sure!"
Ye Xiao opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
It was true. Normally, Han Bingxue had no reason to be brothers with a young man who had just come to this world for half a year—someone who was weak like an ant compared to him.
Except if Han Bingxue was crazy, or he stayed with the young man for some unspoken purpose!
Han Bingxue was surely not crazy. There must be a reason that he would be a brother to the young man.
Xuan Bing was having a strong point on this.
Maybe Ye Xiao had something, or he was related to something that Han Bingxue wanted!
However…
That was not the truth. This was not a normal circumstance…
"He is married, so he wouldn't want you. Well, maybe you are a trace that leads to some secret treasure?" Xuan Bing continued guessing, "Or maybe you know where a priceless treasure is hidden? Maybe you can lead him to some secret place? To a mysterious super powerful figure? There must be something he wants!"
"Anyway, he gets close to you because he wants something that he can't tell you!"
"You idiot! You must be fooled!"
Xuan Bing gave a conclusion.
Ye Xiao was speechless.
[Han Bingxue? Fooled me?]
[Does he dare?]
[How dare him?]
[This is…]
[I can't explain this to her… I can't tell her I am Xiao Monarch, Han Bingxue's boss…]
[If I say so, the most possible thing that would happen to me must be… Xuan Bing waves her hand and turns me into a pile of flesh and blood instantly!]
As Xuan Bing was speaking, a mass of murderous qi slowly rose up from her body. She blandly said, "Han Bingxue the bastard. He actually dares to lay his filthy hand on you… Hmm… a young man who has just arrived to this realm. That is nasty and vicious. He is unforgivable… He deserves to die…"
Then she was ready to do something. "Wait here. I'll catch up with him and kill that filthy piece of shxt! How dare he… How could he… Humph… How could he do this! He disgraced all cultivators in the realm!"
That seemed to be a righteous reason. She was about to attack Han Bingxue—she was about to move ahead and kill the man who 'disgraced all cultivators in the realm'.
That was such a death crime… She had to kill him for this…
Ye Xiao was frightened. He didn't have time to hesitate anymore or to think about how weak he was to stop Xuan Bing. He just went over and opened his arms to stop her. "Stop! Stop! It isn't like what you're thinking! Han Bingxue and I, we are definitely sworn brothers! We are brothers…"
"I am not being emotional. I am sincere. I mean it… Miss Xuan, thank you for your concern. Han Bingxue has no malice to me. It's true!" Ye Xiao was sweating because of anxiety. He tried to convince her.
He knew that it was so easy for her to kill Han Bingxue. It was just as easy as waving her hand.
If he stopped her any bit later, he might lose his brother forever. Han Bingxue might become a cold dead body under Xuan Bing's attack. He might even lose his soul and completely die.
