Chapter 18
Ye Lingshang had just walked a short distance when he suddenly saw a figure jump out and block in front of him.
"Hehe~Second Senior Brother, I didn't expect to meet you here~~"
"...White Deer?!" Ye Lingshang was shocked, "Why are you here?!"
Bai Lu had a cold smile on his face, "I should be the one who asked the second senior brother you~ Why is the second young master of the dignified Ye Family Castle near the Phoenix Sect?"
"..." Ye Lingshang's face darkened, "Could it be that you were also sent by my father to spy on me?!"
"Whether it is true or not, what does it matter?" Bai Lu still smiled coldly, "What is Second Senior Brother going to do with me? Do you want to poison me too?"
"...How did you know?!" Ye Lingshang was even more shocked.
"Oh, that's not important..." Bai Lu said with a sly smile, "The most important thing is, is Second Senior Brother willing to let me die of gut rot? Are you willing to have your only biological sister become a widow at such a young age?"
"Stop threatening me!!" Ye Lingshang snapped, "Xiaozhi is still young, even if you die, she will forget you soon!!"
"Okay, okay, second senior brother, don't be so angry~" Bailu's expression softened instantly, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you are the master of the Ye family castle or the elder brother is the master of the castle, it doesn't matter to me at all. It doesn't matter, right? So, I don't need to expose you at all, do I?"
"..." Ye Lingshang felt that this made sense.From the looks of it, Bailu didn't necessarily want to make things difficult for him, but just had a plan, "Well, let's talk about what conditions you have."
Bailu smiled slightly, and said, "As long as you can help me speak kindly to Master and tell him not to object to my being with Xiaozhi."
Ye Lingshang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.It turned out that the white deer was only for this. "Hmph, you don't know Xiaozhi's temperament. Who can stop her from what she wants to do and who she wants to like?"
"Hehe, then I would like to thank the second senior brother for fulfilling it." Bai Lu knew that Ye Lingshang's implication was that he had agreed to his request, so he smiled and clasped his fists.At this time, he heard some movement in the grass beside him.It seems that there is no need to delay any longer.So his expression immediately became serious again, "However, I have to make sure that Second Senior Brother, you are really only for the position of castle master, and you will not conspire with the Demon Cult to harm Master, Senior Senior Brother, and Ye Family Castle!"
"...!" Ye Lingshang was startled, it was the first time that Bai Lu had such a righteous side.It seemed that I had underestimated him before. "You can rest assured about this. Dad and elder brother are my dearest and most beloved people in this world. How could I hurt them?"
"Oh~~" Bailu smiled meaningfully, "Then the second senior brother is not planning to use the method of cooperating with the Demon Cult to force the master to give way to you to achieve your goal? If so, what kind of method are you planning to use, second senior brother?" How?"
"...This..." This question really caught Ye Lingshang.In fact, he didn't expect things to develop to this point, so he hasn't considered the next countermeasure yet.
"Heh~ Let me guess, okay? Yejiabao has a rule. In order to avoid unnecessary power struggles between brothers, the position of castle master shall be inherited by the eldest son. However, there is one exception, that is— ——The eldest son is mediocre, but the concubine has made great achievements, right? So..." Bai Lu paused, then smiled and said word by word, "So second senior brother, you plan to get close to the Demon Sect and get their Trust, and then eradicate the Demon Cult in one fell swoop, make great contributions, and win the position of the Young Castle Lord with justification! Am I right?"
"......!!" Ye Lingshang looked at Bai Lu with admiration after hearing these words - how could he guess his previous thoughts so accurately? !However, since he fell in love with Ai Yuhua, he was no longer prepared to use this method.It's just that it's troublesome to explain clearly to Bai Lu right now, so why not just admit it, "I never thought that Junior Brother Bai is such a smart person. It seems that I can safely hand over Xiaozhi to you."
"How dare, how dare~Second senior brother praised me~" Bai Lu still had a smile on his face, "It's just that although this method is good, it's too dangerous, right? Second senior brother is willing to do this for senior brother The level is really touching~~”
"... What did you say?!" Ye Lingshang was surprised again when he heard this.
"Isn't it?" Bailu smiled, "Second senior brother and I grew up together, how can I not understand that you are not a vain person? It's just that it is painful for senior brother to be the master of this castle, so you You don’t hesitate to take risks to help him escape, don’t you?”
"...Hehe, since you know everything, what else can I say?" Of course Ye Lingshang couldn't deny that this was indeed one of the most important reasons for his actions.
"Then, I have one last question~" Bailu's smile suddenly became a little charming, and he approached Ye Lingshang step by step, "Why hasn't senior brother ever gotten married? Is it because he didn't get married at all?" Don't like women? Are you and him... really an ordinary brotherhood?"
"...?!" Ye Lingshang was startled again, and took several steps back, "What nonsense are you talking about?! Of course the relationship between me and my elder brother is just brotherhood!!"
"Okay, okay, second senior brother, don't be so excited~ It's my younger brother who said something wrong, sorry~" Bai Lu smiled and bowed, "I just find it strange that the senior brother doesn't look like the eldest brother of the second senior brother, but like He is someone who has been protected by you all the time. Can a weak person like him really take on the responsibility of a husband and father in the future?"
"Shut up!!" Ye Lingshang yelled sharply, "Brother is actually very strong in his heart! Don't say that about him!!"
"Second Senior Brother, can you tell me why Senior Senior Brother hasn't gotten married yet at this age?" Bai Lu asked fearlessly, "Is it really for the purpose of getting married after practicing Kung Fu well? May I ask what level of Kung Fu you need to be counted?" Okay'? Besides, is there a conflict between getting married and practicing martial arts? If the family is happy and happy, wouldn't a man be more motivated? After getting married and having children, isn't your swordsmanship, second brother, constantly improving?"
"..." Ye Lingshang suddenly remembered what his elder brother once said to him: "If any woman follows me, it will really delay him."At that time, he just thought that the eldest brother said this out of inferiority.But, maybe it's really because...he doesn't like women? ! "... Enough! Don't dwell on it anymore!! Big brother is a very normal man!!"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, big brother, don't be angry. This time is really the last, little brother, let me ask a question out of curiosity..." Bai Lu stared straight into Ye Lingshang's eyes, " Senior brother, do you really not like men?"
"..." Regarding this question, when thinking of Ai Yuhua, how could Ye Lingshang categorically deny it?
But he would never have imagined what kind of misunderstanding his silence would cause.And what a catastrophe it caused.
The man who was spying on all this in the dark deeply embedded his long nails into the delicate flesh, dripping blood.His heart was already dripping with hatred.He swore secretly: If I don't take revenge, I swear I won't be a human being! !
