“Hehehe, senior sister, please stop praising us. It makes me feel embarrassed.” Wei Wuxian scratched his head and was about to walk forward with a smile.

He was so frightened by the Jiuyou that Zi Muliang showed that his legs went weak. The Jiuyou, which was emitting a faint cold light, seemed to carry endless pressure, making him and Jiang Cheng unable to move in an instant.

"Oh? You still think I'm praising you?" Zimu looked at the two boys in front of him, who were about twelve or thirteen years old, still childish and in a period where they often got into trouble.

That smile is even more meaningful and unpredictable.

Jiang Cheng frowned slightly and shook his head: "Not really."

Jiang Cheng felt a little uneasy in his heart, knowing that his sister must be like this this time because of the trouble they caused.

“Then who of you two can explain to me what’s going on with Young Master Jin of the Lanling Jin Clan?” Zimu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze moving back and forth between Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng’s faces.

That look seemed to be able to penetrate their minds, leaving them nowhere to hide.

Wei WuXian swallowed and glanced at Jiang Cheng secretly, then stammered, “Senior Sister, that… that Young Master Jin, he… what happened to him?”

"What happened to him? Don't Master Wei and Master Jiang know?"

Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng were in tears, as this was the first time Zimu called them that.

Jiang Cheng frowned and glared at Wei Wuxian, as if blaming him for hesitating.

Then he said with a stiff upper lip: "Sister, that fellow was too arrogant, so the two of us gave him a small lesson yesterday."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

"Just a small lesson? So simple? I heard that Young Master Jin was embarrassed by you and even caused a big commotion in the courtyard of the Lanling Jin Clan's guest residence."

Wei WuXian’s eyes widened as he said in disbelief, “No way? Golden Peacock knows it’s the two of us?”

Jiang Cheng felt so tired looking at his senior brother. It was obvious that the elder sister was trying to trick them just now, but the fool Wei Wuxian just blew himself up.

Wei Wuxian suddenly realized that he had been tricked and stared at Zimu with an expression as if he was looking at a traitor, which made Zimu's scalp tingle.

The two brothers are still wondering who had wronged them and actually came to Zimu to complain.

Zimu put away Jiuyou and said, "Alright, alright, stop looking at those expressions on your faces. If Yinzhu hadn't seen it, I wouldn't have known about it."

Only then did Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng breathe a sigh of relief, as long as they were not accused of something bad.

Jiang Cheng muttered quietly, "It turned out to be Yinzhu. I was so scared. I thought it was someone who was deliberately trying to make things difficult for us."

Wei WuXian also echoed: “That’s right, Senior Sister, you just did that so suddenly that we were both scared.”

Zi Mu rolled his eyes at them and said, "You still feel scared?"

"Don't you think about it? This is Lotus Pier. He just offended me during the day and was punished at night. Will he think too much?"

Wei WuXian said nonchalantly: “Why are you afraid? He deserves a lesson anyway. Who made him so arrogant?”

Although Jiang Cheng felt that what Wei Wuxian said made sense, he still said with some worry, “Sister, what should we do now? If the Lanling Jin Clan investigates, how are we going to explain to them?”

Zi Mu sighed and said, "Fortunately, Yinzhu found out early, and Young Master Jin was fine. He didn't say much when he returned, only saying that he accidentally stepped on air and fell into the water."

"Then let's be patient next time and settle the score later."

Zimu looked at Wei Wuxian with admiration. She said, Xianxian has been a smart child since he was young, and her stupid brother was also enlightened.

"Alright, Jiang Cheng, you know that Peacock is very concerned about his reputation. He won't make a scene like Senior Sister said and let everyone know."

Wei Wuxian put his arm on Jiang Cheng's shoulders and consoled him.

Jiang Cheng looked at his elder sister and found that Zimu was also looking at him, and he felt relieved instantly.

Wei WuXian, however, said with a look of disapproval: “Besides, they have ruined my reputation. Does that mean that Yunmeng Jiang Sect is being merciful by not pursuing them?”

"How dare they hold us responsible?"

Jiang Cheng suddenly realized, “That’s right. Even if the Lanling Jin Clan pursues the matter, Wei Wuxian and I are only twelve years old. We are just trying to protect our sister. Who can say anything?”

"Not bad, not bad, Junior Sister is really smart."

"Screw you."

-----Interesting things before the elixir was formed----

There was actually a reason why Yu Ziyuan forbade Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian from entering Zimu's yard at will. Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng were too fascinated by the ghost stories told by the storyteller.

As it turned out, there happened to be lightning and thunder that night, and the two little guys began to wonder about it, especially after seeing the huge bronze mirror in their room.

Why is the bronze mirror in their room so big? Well, these two guys are late for morning class every day and always say that the bronze mirror is not big enough, which causes them to waste time in dressing and washing.

In the end, Yu Ziyuan was fed up with her teacher's complaints, so she simply spent a lot of money to hire someone to grind a huge bronze mirror and put it in Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian's room.

"When thunder and lightning strike, a rift will appear between the Yin and Yang worlds. Who knows what kind of wandering ghosts will escape."

As soon as little Wei Ying finished speaking, a flash of lightning burst out from the horizon. He even took a breath in an exaggerated manner, and then he heard a thunderous sound like a landslide.

Little Jiang Cheng was so frightened that he was shaking. He gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up now. God can't stand it anymore. Be careful or he will kill you with lightning."

"Junior sister, do you think what the old man said today is true?"

"What's real or fake?"

"He said that at the moment the lightning struck, you could see some lonely ghosts who died unjustly, and also..."

"Wei Ying, can you please shut up? You're the only one who can talk, right?"

"Junior sister, are you scared too?"

Jiang Cheng glared at him in the dark: "Nonsense, only ghosts would be afraid."

"I don't know if ghosts are scary or not, but I am pretty scared anyway."

At this time, another flash of lightning flashed outside the house, followed by a loud thunder.

Jiang Cheng forced himself not to look at the huge bronze mirror, and silently recited the mantra to suppress evil in his mind.

"It's over, Junior Sister. I can't sleep anymore. I need to go find Senior Sister."

Jiang Cheng panicked and said, "Why are you so useless? You go looking for Sister just because there's thunder?"

Little Wei Ying said timidly, "I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep."

In the end, Jiang Cheng had no choice but to go find Zimu with Wei Ying, holding a blanket.

In the end, Zi Mu had no choice but to take in his two cowardly and stubborn brothers, but Yu Ziyuan exploded the next day.

After that, the two brothers were not allowed to go to Zimu's yard.

From then on, whenever these two went to Zimu's yard, they either got beaten or acted sneakily.
