Chapter 163: Oh, My Senior Sister!

Ye Fei executed a swift back-spinning kick!

He focused his gaze and thought: Good grief!

Isn't this my dear Second Senior Sister?

Just a split second before his foot connected with Lin Qiqing, Ye Fei’s left hand made a slight flick, sending a protective layer of spiritual energy around her face.

His Second Senior Sister was as beautiful as a flower; she certainly could not afford to have her face ruined.

"Ye Fei!"

Lin Qiqing roared, wishing she could slap this rebellious brat to death on the spot.

Ye Fei hastily clasped his hands and bowed. "Senior Sister, I didn't mean to! I didn't know it was you! If... if I had known it was you, I would never have thrown a punch."

Catching sight of Chen Yu standing nearby in a long blue dress, Lin Qiqing reined in her fury and forced a tight smile. "Junior Brother, whatever business we have, let's discuss it at home."

She certainly didn't want to quarrel with her junior brother in front of Chen Yu, lest that woman found an opportunity to exploit.

"Alright, alright, let's talk about it back home." Ye Fei let out a quiet sigh of relief.

Along the way, Ye Fei felt extremely grateful for the protective spiritual energy. Had that kick landed squarely on Lin Qiqing's face today, he would undoubtedly have been sleeping on the streets tonight.

As soon as they arrived at the villa, Lin Qiqing instructed the driver, "Take Miss Chen back."

Watching the departing vehicle, Ye Fei distinctly felt the murderous aura closing in on him step by step from behind.

It seemed his Senior Sister intended to settle all their scores at once!

"Get in here!" Lin Qiqing grabbed Ye Fei by the ear, dragging him inside. "If Senior Sister doesn't properly discipline you today, you'll never know Senior Sister's wrath! Daring to stay away from home for so long, you're getting quite bold, aren't you?"

Ye Fei could only let Lin Qiqing drag him along by the ear, not daring to let out a single loud breath.

Upon entering the villa, what awaited Ye Fei was naturally not a scene of blissful family reunion.

Bai Yaoyao and Zhou Danzhuang were sitting on the sofa, both holding weapons—rubber replicas of the *Roll of Honor*.

Lin Qiqing let go of Ye Fei and bellowed, "Get on your knees! Since Master failed to teach you proper manners, Senior Sister will teach you."

Zhou Danzhuang and Bai Yaoyao chimed in like a double act: "That's right, Senior Sister will teach you."

...

Ye Fei tried to offer some explanation, but the two rubber clubs came crashing down on him mercilessly from all directions. It didn't actually hurt, but it left him completely breathless.

"Do you still dare to run away from home?"

"Do you dare anymore?"

Ye Fei immediately raised both hands in surrender. "My dear senior sisters, I was wrong! I was truly wrong! My good senior sisters, this isn't discipline, this is outright torture."

The two senior sisters finally lowered their weapons. Lin Qiqing, standing nearby, let out a cold huff. "Since the outside world holds such carefree places for you, why did you come back? I think that eldest Miss Chen is quite devoted to you after all; you might as well just go live with her."

Ye Fei was slightly stunned. Could this vinegar-laced tone really be coming from Lin Qiqing? He raised his eyes to look at his usually ice-cold Second Senior Sister, a trace of inward triumph flickering in his heart.

"Senior Sister, this is my home. Surely you aren't trying to kick me out, are you?" Ye Fei suddenly assumed a tearful expression. He had practiced this act of playing the pitiful card for a long time; now that the opportunity had finally arrived, he had to put on a proper show.

Zhou Danzhuang had always doted on her youngest junior brother the most. The moment she saw Ye Fei looking so pitiful, she rushed to his side, pulled him into her embrace, and patted his head. "There, there, don't cry. Senior Sister is just all bark and bite; we won't hold it against you."

Enveloped in her tight embrace, a delightful fragrance washed directly over him.

Seeing this, Bai Yaoyao couldn't help chiming in, "What a touching scene of mutual affection between a devoted couple. It's just that the two of you don't really match; my looks are much more compatible with Junior Brother's."

Hearing this, Zhou Danzhuang pressed Ye Fei's head even tighter against her chest and retorted defiantly, "He's my junior brother, too."

Having been thoroughly tortured by these senior sisters the moment he stepped through the door, he had almost forgotten to tell Bai Yaoyao about the situation with the Bai family. Their family had practically been saved by Ye Fei, and Bai Lin no longer needed to wail in despair.

"Third Senior Sister, do you know what recently happened in South City?"

Bai Yaoyao calmly shook her head. This young heiress seemed to have zero interest in current affairs; she had no idea such a massive event had shaken her own hometown.

After learning about the drastic economic upheaval in South City yesterday, Lin Qiqing had been on edge all day. She was terrified that Ye Fei might do something reckless. With Master away, she had a duty to ensure Ye Fei's safety.

Yet the moment she arrived at the airport, she had seen Ye Fei and Chen Yu walking out together, instantly triggering a surge of fury and churning emotions in her chest.

She marched right up to Ye Fei and demanded sternly, "You've grown quite bold! Running off to such a distant place all by yourself—if something had happened to you, how would I ever answer to Master?"

Bai Yaoyao, however, remained carefree, lounging leisurely on the sofa as she drawled, "Junior Brother, that's the Liu family we're talking about; how could they be brought down so easily? Look, I appreciate the thought behind wanting to look out for Senior Sister, but bragging isn't a good look."

Zhou Danzhuang couldn't stand watching any longer. She handed her phone over and made a mock bow. "Your Highness, please deign to look at the news! A tiny bit of radiation won't affect your precious looks."

Bai Yaoyao picked up the phone and sure enough, the top news headline blared the news of the Liu family's demotion to a second-tier family.

"Is this real? Junior Brother! They really fell to a second-tier family? Does that mean I don't have to marry into their family anymore? Do I no longer need to psych myself up into liking Liu Xiaonan?"

Psych herself up? The others stared at Bai Yaoyao in utter bewilderment. Not only was this girl emotionally dense, but some of her behaviors were utterly incomprehensible.

"You guys know my family's influence is mediocre. If things went south, I was definitely going to end up married to that punk Liu Xiaonan, so didn't I have to prepare in advance? If I mentally conditioned myself to like him, maybe I actually would have grown to like him later on."

Hearing Bai Yaoyao's explanation, the three of them froze in place. People actually operated that way?

Ye Fei said nothing, simply giving her a thumbs-up. "Senior Sister, well done! I... I am truly in awe!"

Zhou Danzhuang gave an awkward chuckle, clapping her hands. "Bai Yaoyao, I have to hand it to you!"

Lin Qiqing sighed softly. Regardless of how it happened, this matter had come to a satisfactory conclusion. She had previously considered using the Eternal Corporation to suppress the Liu family—though that would have been like throwing an egg against a rock, it still would have been better than watching Bai Yaoyao get forced into a marriage.

Just as everyone was roasting Bai Yaoyao for her bizarre logic, the front door swung open from the outside!

All four of them snapped their gazes toward the entrance. Pitch darkness lay beyond the threshold, completely devoid of any human shadow.

Bai Yaoyao gasped sharply. "Where did everyone go? Could it be ghosts? Tonight isn't even the Ghost Festival, is it?"

Ye Fei chuckled inwardly. This senior sister of his knew very little about proper knowledge, but she was exceptionally well-versed in all sorts of bizarre gossip.

"It's not ghosts, it's definitely just someone playing tricks. Don't be scared, I'll go check it out." With that, Lin Qiqing stood up. Bai Yaoyao immediately latched onto Ye Fei, refusing to let go no matter what.

Ye Fei simply scooped up Bai Yaoyao and stood with her. "I'll go take a look too. Senior Sister, it's not safe for you to go alone. It's better if I go with..." He glanced down at Bai Yaoyao, "...Third Senior Sister!"

Hearing this, Bai Yaoyao let go instantly.

Calmly, Ye Fei strode toward the doorway.
