The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

Xiao Yunluo was sitting on the edge of the bed, gently stroking her sword sheath.

Ever since Feng Yu Die left, she also hadn\'t left the house. Heeding her advice, she was wary of anyone who wanted to get close to her. Even the servants who came to deliver her food were driven away by her.

Looking at the night light filtering into the house through the paper window, Xiao Yunluo was feeling restless. "Why hasn\'t he come back yet... Has something happened to Ye Anping and the others? It\'s been a whole day..."

While muttering to herself, Xiao Yunluo suddenly realized that these words were unlucky and slapped her mouth lightly. "Bah, bah, bah! Don\'t jinx it!!"

However, thinking that Ye Anping and the others were dealing with a Ghost cultivator in the Core Formation stage, she still couldn\'t stop worrying.

She took a deep breath, looked around the room, then simply turned around and rolled onto the bed. She took out an erotic book from her storage bag, and while still holding her sheathed sword, she curled up into a ball.

She wanted to distract herself with other things so she wouldn\'t feel the emotional pressure anymore.

"Anyway, if something happens to Ye Anping, I will more than likely die here as well... Why am I so nervous? Just relax... hmm..."

Finding this excuse for herself, Xiao Yunluo pointed at the book with a white jade finger and waved lightly. The book was lifted up by her spiritual power and floated, while the pages were flipped through.

Just as she was about to inject her spiritual energy to make the pictures move, a sudden rush of footsteps reached her ears.

Startled, she rolled off the bed and went to the door, holding the sword hilt with her right hand.

Swish---

The sword was five inches out of its sheath.

The footsteps seemed to be really heading toward her, and they sounded hurried, unlike the servants from the mansion.

Xiao Yunluo held her breath and counted silently.

Three...

Two...

One...

Bang!!

As she finished counting, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Xiao-- Hiss..."

Swish---

A silver light flashed by.

Feng Yu Die, who had just opened the door, watched the incoming sword with wide eyes. She ducked down subconsciously as the sword passed by the tip of her nose and sliced off a few of her silver hair strands in the process.

Xiao Yunluo froze when she saw Feng Yu Die at the door, lowering her stance. Then, she hastily withdrew her sword and put it behind her.

"It\'s you."

"..."

Feng Yu Die straightened up, watched Xiao Yunluo gulp, and complained. "Sister Xiao, do you want to kill me?"

"Who told you to enter without knocking?"

Xiao Yunluo shrugged as she went into the room and sat on the bed.

Feeling a little helpless, Feng Yu Die asked weakly, "...Sister Xiao, can\'t you check who it is before you strike down with the sword? If I hadn\'t reacted quickly, I would have been finished off."

Xiao Yunluo pursed her mouth apologetically and, after a while, replied in a small voice. "I knew if it was you, you would definitely be able to avoid it. I believe in you."

"Really?" Feng Yu Die felt inexplicably happy. Her expression changed, and she scratched the back of her head, smiling. "Sister Xiao, am I so reliable in your eyes?"

Easier to fool than Sister Pei... Xiao Yunluo didn\'t want to talk to her about this, so she changed the subject. "Since you\'re back, that means everything went well, right? The demonic cultivator died?"

"It went well... Well, the demonic cultivator\'s death went smoothly, but..." Feng Yu Die took out the jade pendant she had just found in Li Longling\'s bedroom. "Things are not going well on Li Feng\'s side. He seems to be ready to make his move."

"And this is?"

"The jade pendant that Sister Li has given me. It can mobilize the Dragon House guards."

"..."

"Sister Xiao, hurry up and pack up. I\'ll take you to a safe place first, and you leave the rest to me and Young Master Ye. He should have a plan. Although I haven\'t heard what he has to say yet, I will talk to him soon."

Xiao Yunluo frowned. After a short hesitation, she said, "You don\'t have to worry about me. I can protect myself."

"Sister Xiao, I don\'t even know what kind of Blood Sacrifice Formation they prepared. It\'s too dangerous for you to stay here."

"Where is Sister Li?"

"She\'s been imprisoned by Li Feng in the inner chamber, with a maid accompanying her."

"Then, I will go there too. No matter what, Master Li will never attack Sister Li. There is no danger in being with her." Xiao Yunluo stood up with the sword in her arms and started packing up the talismans around the room. "Besides, after you guys settle this matter, I need to help Sister Li stabilize the place. She can\'t control everything by herself. How many elders from the sect have gathered in the Dragon House now? They will definitely ask her for an explanation."

"Ah? But, it\'s dangerous."

"Don\'t underestimate me!"

Xiao Yunluo frowned, walked to Feng Yu Die, and turned her face to hers. "I can\'t help you fight, but there are things I can do. I am the Young Lady of the Black Star Sect. When such a big thing happened in the Dragon House, how could I hide away from the battle..."

Feng Yu Die did not know what to say for a moment.

"Besides, I believe Ye Anping can solve this matter."

Saying this, Xiao Yunluo sidestepped Feng Yu Die and walked out of the room.

Feng Yu Die still wanted to persuade her, but Xiao Tian, who was sitting on her shoulder, grabbed her head and stopped her. "Yu Die, it\'s okay. Miss Xiao has her own standpoint. You\'d better hurry and find Young Master Ye."

"..."

Hearing Xiao Tian saying that, Feng Yu Die then shut her mouth.

"Sister Xiao, then, be careful. I\'m going to look for Young Master Ye now."

"Well, you guys be careful too, and look after Ye Anping for me."

Xiao Yunluo nodded, turned around, and walked along the corridor toward the exit while holding her sword.

However, after taking a few steps, she stopped again and turned to look back at Feng Yu Die.

?

Feng Yu Die tilted her head and asked, "What\'s wrong?"

"Um..." Xiao Yunluo glanced away, pursed her lips, and asked awkwardly, "Which way to the inner chamber?"

"..."

Feng Yu Die raised her eyebrows, and after a moment of silence, she pointed ahead. "Go out along the corridor, then turn right and walk past two intersections, then turn left, and after three more intersections, you\'re there."

"Oh... Okay."

Xiao Yunluo nodded, took out an umbrella from her storage bag, opened it, and hurried toward the inner chamber.

After watching Xiao Yunluo leave, Feng Yu Die sighed, looked up at the sky, and then summoned her flying sword. Defying the falling raindrops, the flying sword soared into the sky, leaving a trail of light, and headed toward the Jiang Mansion in Duchun City.
