Chapter 6

"Little brother, I beg you, please go and see Father." Yi Liu looked at Yi Feng with great helplessness. No matter how he pleaded, his little brother refused to go with him to see their father, which left him in a difficult position.

"Alright, big brother, stop looking so gloomy. Why is the old man in such a hurry to see me? Could it be that he’s in trouble again?" Yi Feng’s eyes gleamed with a mischievous expression.

Yi Feng’s demeanor made cold sweat break out on Yi Liu’s forehead: This rascal, do you really hope your father gets into trouble?

Seeing that Yi Liu remained silent, Yi Feng became excited and chuckled, "Could it be that Albert is causing trouble for the old man again?"

That would be great. Albert, you better put in some effort and make the old man lose face, so he won’t always look at me with that sour expression.

Yi Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, admiring his little brother’s imagination while shaking his head helplessly, "No..."

"What... not?! Damn, Albert is really no good. Oh, I know, someone must be going to die at the birthday banquet, right? Yes, it must be that."

"..." Yi Liu was speechless: You’re really too dark-hearted. Are you that happy about someone dying at the old man’s birthday banquet? And you were just saving someone?

"Isn’t it?" Yi Feng sighed, feeling quite defeated, but quickly became excited again, "Could it be that someone poisoned the old man at the birthday banquet and he needs me to save him? Hehe, that would be great. It would be even better if the old man was poisoned. That way, his inheritance would be ours, wouldn’t it? Hehe."

"Thud..."

Yi Liu couldn’t hold back any longer and fell to the ground: This rascal is only thinking about the family’s wealth. What a beast, what a beast. He wouldn’t poison me for the wealth, would he?

Yi Liu looked at Yi Feng’s gleaming eyes and shivered: Come to think of it, this kid really has the potential to do such a thing, just look at his lofty ideals.

Qin Yi couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh, her beauty captivating.

"Alright, Yi Feng, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. You only dare to criticize your father behind his back."

Qin Yi saw through Yi Feng’s thoughts clearly and couldn’t help but laugh lightly.

"Joke! Do I need to criticize the old man behind his back? I can make him furious just by talking. Cough, it’s just a small family fortune, I don’t care about it. That’s why he’s still alive." Yi Feng said confidently.

Qin Yi’s face turned slightly red, feeling Yi Feng’s thick-skinned nature while laughing lightly: You’re really protective. If anyone really wanted to harm your father, you’d probably have already taken action.

"Brother Yi Liu..." Just as everyone was about to say something, a clear and sweet female voice rang out, so sweet it was almost cloying.

The girl was around sixteen years old, with a beautiful face and bright eyes, walking towards Yi Liu with light steps. She was graceful and elegant, though still a bit young and inexperienced, she was clearly a beauty in the making.

The girl glanced at Qin Yi, who stood beside Yi Feng, and was momentarily stunned by her beauty and grace. She suddenly felt that her own pride in her appearance was insignificant in comparison. However, the serene and dignified aura Qin Yi exuded made her feel no jealousy. But when she saw Yi Feng and Qin Yi standing so closely together, she couldn’t help but feel angry and annoyed.

How can this waste of a person stand so close to someone as beautiful as a celestial being?

"Little sister Brittany, how have you been?" Yi Feng looked at the girl with a teasing smile.

This girl was none other than Brittany, the daughter of Blanche. Although Yi Kai Mu was not well-liked in the Yi family, Blanche did not avoid him like the plague. Instead, she treated him like a true friend, often bringing Brittany to stay for a few days.

Brittany glanced at Yi Feng but said nothing. For the former genius who was now a waste, she didn’t want to waste her expressions.

She still preferred the genius, Yi Liu.

Seeing Brittany, Yi Liu’s heart stirred, but remembering the task his father had given him, he suppressed his feelings: "Little brother, Father needs to see you. Go quickly!"

"Big brother, tell Father that I won’t tell Mother about his visit to the pleasure boat. Let him rest easy, I won’t go."

Yi Liu’s legs trembled, almost making him fall: Too ruthless, too ruthless. A blatant frame-up. With Brittany’s loose lips, Father would have no way to defend himself.

Thinking about the war that would break out between Father and Mother, Yi Liu shivered: I must never let this little brother get involved, or I’ll have no chance to cry.

Yi Liu was about to explain to Brittany but was interrupted by Yi Feng: "Big brother, I have a piece of advice for you: Your thoughts can be dirty, but your life must be healthy! Because only a strong body can support a dirty soul!"

After saying this, Yi Feng gave Brittany and Yi Liu a sly look and, while Yi Liu was still stunned, left with Qin Yi, who smiled helplessly.

After they left, Yi Liu finally reacted and shouted at their retreating figures: "My life and soul are both pure."

Hearing Yi Liu’s angry shout from a distance, Yi Feng chuckled: No need to think, the old man wants to see me. He just wants to know what I’ve been doing for the past five years. But can I let him know?

"Can’t you really tell me what you’ve been doing for the past five years?"

Qin Yi’s bright eyes sparkled as she looked straight at Yi Feng, her hands supporting her delicate face. She really wanted to know what the person she cared about had been doing for the past five years.

Yi Feng stared at Qin Yi, his hands squeezing the slight blush on her face, admiring her graceful figure and soft hair. His heart couldn’t help but race. How could heaven create such a beauty?

Yi Feng could feel his heart pounding. He had a new feeling in his heart.

Seeing Yi Feng’s bold gaze, Qin Yi’s face turned slightly red. She glared at him and lightly tapped his forehead, scolding, "Snap out of it..."

"Cousin, you’re really beautiful..." Yi Feng didn’t hide his admiration, still looking at Qin Yi with a straight gaze.

Qin Yi glared at Yi Feng and said with a hint of sadness, "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have involved you in my broken meridians."

Yi Feng shook his head and looked at Qin Yi seriously, "I said it’s not your fault, so it’s not your fault. You don’t need to feel guilty about it. You don’t need to apologize to me, not now, not ever. From the moment I saw your worried eyes when I first came to this world, you’ve been more important to me than anything else."

"But..."

Yi Feng interrupted, firmly saying, "No buts! I don’t want to see a Qin Yi who’s always blaming herself!"

Qin Yi felt her heart start to race, and tears couldn’t help but stream down her beautiful face. Looking at Yi Feng, she felt as if her heart was being soaked in a warm spring, but it was also a bit painful.

Yi Feng hugged Qin Yi’s trembling shoulders and wiped away her tears with his sleeve, asking softly, "Does your cold illness still flare up frequently?"

Hearing this, Qin Yi’s tears, which had just stopped, started falling again like raindrops. She knew that the moment she saw Yi Feng use his medical skills, she understood that he had learned them for her, to treat her cold illness.

Qin Yi looked at Yi Feng’s worried eyes, trying to stop her tears, and shook her head softly, "In the past five years, every time it flared up, I practiced the technique left by my biological parents. It always suppressed it. So I’ve been quite stable. It’s just a little pain before it flares up."

Hearing Qin Yi’s words, a hint of surprise flashed in Yi Feng’s eyes. He was curious about the yellow book left by Qin Yi’s parents. A technique that could suppress her cold illness was definitely not simple.

However, even though Qin Yi said it was a little pain, Yi Feng understood that even a small flare-up of the cold illness was excruciating.

Thinking about such a beautiful person enduring such inhuman pain, a pang of pain flashed in Yi Feng’s eyes.

"Rest assured, I said I would protect you, and I will protect you." He murmured to himself, his gaze on Qin Yi becoming more determined.

Yi Feng clearly remembered that when he first came to this world, she had taken great care of him, even risking her life for him.

Such a person, he couldn’t bear to see her hurt. So, he was determined to eliminate the forces behind the assassin.
