Chapter 1914: Wu Qi (1/2)
Li Qiye’s comment caught Wu Fengying off guard. She stood there awkwardly, not knowing the right words to say.
“You go, Sis, this is good.” The younger brother immediately applauded with a smile while quietly speaking: “Grab the opportunity to win the guy over now.”
“Wu Qi!” She turned red and turned into a raging dragon again, rus.h.i.+ng closer to beat her brother up.
The guy immediately squatted down while covering his head to withstand the barrage. Nevertheless, he was still running his mouth fearlessly in order to tease her: “Sis, you’re too heartless. I’m clearly teaching you how to win a man over but now, you’re hitting me? I won’t help you any more then.”
“Shut your mouth!” Fengying was in a tough spot. All was well but now she had acted so weirdly in front of Li Qiye, all because of this d.a.m.n brat! Thus, only more fists raining down on him would make her feel better.
“Alright, alright, I’ll shut up, I’ll shut up.” Wu Qi was still running his mouth despite claiming otherwise “Sis, even if you make me shut up, it doesn’t change the fact that you’re mistreating your own brother so badly after finding a crush, I’m still your brother…” [1]
In a short time, the sister continued to punch while the brother grabbed his head for self-defense while endlessly teasing.
The princess didn’t know what to do besides covering her mouth. This duo can be such clowns sometimes.
Fengying eventually got tired and stopped. Meanwhile, despite the battering earlier, Wu Qi was still fine and well. It looked like he had been used as a punching bag for a while now so he got used to it.
After stopping, she noticed that Li Qiye was smiling to the side. It made her too embarra.s.sed to look at him so she glared at her brother again.
On the other hand, Wu Qi didn’t mind at all and stood there not giving a d.a.m.n. He patted the dust off his body and stood up. With a relaxed att.i.tude, he came over and bowed deeply at Li Qiye: “My name is Wu Qi, the seventh in the family, nice to meet you, Brother-in-law.” [2]
Surprisingly, his gesture was very elegant and appropriate to the occasion just like a child from a great clan, outside of the last part. The sudden s.h.i.+ft in att.i.tude would sometimes make others think that he was putting on an act. Alas, this was just his frivolous style.
“Idiot!” Fengying angrily shouted at him while avoiding Li Qiye.
Wu Qi immediately got behind Li Qiye then peeked out his head and smiled at Fengying: “Sis, remember, be ladylike. If you keep on howling like a lioness all day, you’ll disappoint Brother-in-law.”
Fengying had the urge to vomit blood but she didn’t dare to give him another lesson since he was behind Li Qiye.
Li Qiye smiled and dragged Wu Qi out before giving him the side-eye: “A powerful bloodline of the citadel, looks like your sect is treating you as the orthodox successor.”
Wu Qi laughed and said: “Ah, Brother-in-law, my sister is the main branch. She’ll be in charge of the sect, I’m just a n.o.body.”
“If you’re not the main line, then why would they give you their important artifact?” Li Qiye leisurely said.
“Just a coincidence, just a coincidence.” Wu Qi smiled wryly and became slightly nervous. He felt naked before Li Qiye’s nonchalant gaze. Even his biggest secret had been revealed by Li Qiye. This was truly scary.
“Hmph, you’re saying that my Citadel Lord position is unjustified and undeserving?” Fengying didn’t like how he was praising her brother.
He looked at her and chuckled: “You cultivate the Fiendish Manifestation so you are qualified to become the Citadel Lord. However, he’s definitely the main successor. This is how the citadel has always been.”
She snorted and didn’t retort. Of course, she was also avoiding direct eye-contact the entire time.
“Brother-in-law, what is this about being the orthodox successor, you’re putting it too elegantly. Frankly, I’m just a stallion. If I had the choice, I wouldn’t want to be one.”
Li Qiye ignored this complaint and said: “If the two of you keep on messing around, I’ll throw you off Eternal next time.” With that, he turned away.
