The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix

According to Ye Anping's estimation, by the time he and Pei Lianxue arrived in Wuxi Town, they still had seven days of preparation left.

But, in fact, everything that could be prepared, he had already prepared without missing a single detail.

He had honed this plan for ten years.

So, he wanted to arrive in town several days in advance, not only because he was worried that something unforeseen might happen, but also to let Pei Lianxue relax so that she would not be too nervous and make a mistake at a critical moment.

Not to mention Pei Lianxue, a little girl who only lived for fourteen years, even a thirty-five-year-old adult like him, who lived twenty years before the time travel and fifteen years after, would inevitably feel nervous.

After all, they were going to deal with an internal cultivator who was two stages above them.

Once they arrived in town, Ye Anping was glad he had chosen to bring Pei Lianxue here ahead of time even though she was not usually nervous.

After he booked an inn, he wanted to take her out for a stroll. As a result, as soon as she stepped out into the streets, Pei Lianxue became wary of everyone she saw, and everyone looked like a demonic cultivator.

Seeing a Foundation Building cultivator who was buying steamed stuffed buns not far away, she asked Ye Anping in a low voice, "Brother, is that person the demonic cultivator you mentioned?!"

"No, that's just a random cultivator."

"Oh..." Pei Lianxue nodded weakly, then saw an ordinary constable with a sword on his back and asked again, "Brother, is that him?"

"That is Wuxi Town's bailiff."

"...What about the one with the disheveled hair?"

"That's just a beggar."

Ye Anping suddenly thought her reaction was cute and said with a smile, "Sister, you are like a mouse now."

"You're the mouse!" Pei Lianxue pouted in dissatisfaction, "I'm not..."

"Scared?"

"Of course I'm scared! We must deal with a demonic cultivator who reached the Core Formation stage..."

Ye Anping cupped her face and said, "You have to believe in your big brother. There will be absolutely no problem. Remember the first positive thinking quote I taught you?"

"I remember."

"Say it again."

"When you encounter any difficulties, don't be afraid. Face it with a smile. The best way to dispel fear is to face fear. Go for it!" Pei Lianxue shook her little fist and said, "Oreo!"

"Well, so don't be afraid."

"Brother, I've always wanted to ask. What is Oreo?"

"Well..." Ye Anping paused, then explained, "Just think of it as a word that cheers people up."

"Oh."

The two walked along the street for a while when suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums came from ahead. It seemed there was a wedding in town today.

Not long after, a bridal procession appeared in sight.

A red palanquin led the way, followed by more than a dozen people carrying chickens, ducks, fish, and dowries. The sound of gongs, drums, and flutes was extremely festive.

Ye Anping didn't find it novel, but Pei Lianxue seemed very interested. Staring at the red palanquin at the head of the column, the fearful look she had before was gone, and she just wished she could sit on that red chair.

Generally speaking, it was normal. Pei Lianxue was a girl from a simple farming family. In this world, girls like her grew up expecting to be married into a good family and carried in a red palanquin when they reached adulthood at the age of fifteen.

She was also fourteen years old this year, the time of budding youth.

After thinking about it, Ye Anping asked, "Do you want to go over there and have a look? There should be a wedding banquet."

Pei Lianxue hurriedly turned her gaze away, and after a moment's hesitation, shook her head. "Aren't we still looking for that demonic cultivator? How can we have time to watch other people get married?"

"That's fine. Seeing how you stare at those newlyweds, you've never seen a wedding before, have you?"

"I've read about it in a book."

"Then, go there and experience it."

Ye Anping grabbed Pei Lianxue's hand and dragged her after the red palanquin to the door of the commoner's house where the wedding took place.

He explained to the wedding manager that they came to celebrate the occasion, and after showing the badge of the Hundred Lotus Sect, they were immediately invited to sit in a special place in the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, when he sat down at the table, he realized that there were quite a few cultivators who had come to eat, just like them.

They sat at a table of eight people, all cultivators, and as soon as Ye Anping sat down, a cheerful young man next to him started a conversation.

"You guys, are you so idle to come and see other people get married?"

"Heh, Senior is joking." Ye Anping nodded and said, "My sister has never seen a marriage before, so she's quite curious. Since we just came across this procession, I brought her over to have a look."

"So, you're both brother and sister. You two have such a good relationship."

Ye Anping looked at the other cultivators at the table, ready to greet them and ask if they had heard of Wu You nearby.

However, when he saw the man in front of him at the table, he realized he didn't need to ask anymore.

That man had elegant features, both masculine and feminine, giving a kind of neutrality to his face. His hair was tied into two long braids, and his purple irises had a slightly sinister light.

There was no doubt that this appearance and temperament were exactly the same as the Grand Master of the Magical Poison Sect in the game.

But here's the problem. Why would he, a demonic cultivator, come to a wedding of ordinary people to dine? Didn’t he have anything better to do?

Ye Anping did not dare to stare at him for long. After nodding, he and Pei Lianxue looked at the bride and groom, who were toasting to the guests in the distance.

However, Wu You took the initiative to talk to them.

"Hey, kid, I think you are only fourteen, fifteen years old, but you have already reached the third stage of Qi Refining. Your future looks very promising."

"Ah..." Hearing that neutral voice, Ye Anping quickly pretended to be a shy little boy. "Thank you for the compliment, Senior. It's the master who taught me well."

"And this little girl too... if I'm not mistaken, she has already completed the _Qi Refining _training?"

"Oh, thank you, Senior, for your compliment. My sister has good aptitudes and is diligent in her daily practice." Ye Anping smiled and scratched the back of his head, then patted Pei Lianxue on the shoulder. As she pulled her gaze back from the bride, he said, "Sister, this Senior is praising you."

"Ah..." Pei Lianxue looked at Wu You on the opposite side and nodded in a daze. "Thank you for your compliment, Senior."

Wu You smiled and nodded to the two, then moved the wine jug on the table with his spirit power and filled the cups in front of Ye Anping and Pei Lianxue.

"You two dragon and phoenix siblings are bound to be a generation who will bring great pride in the future. Consider these two cups of wine as a sign of friendship."

Ye Anping nodded with a smile and looked at the two wine cups in front of him and Pei Lianxue.

The wine inside was clear, and there was nothing wrong with it at first glance, but he knew that it must have a spell cast on it.

It seemed that Wu You knew that Pei Lianxue's spiritual root was extraordinary.

However, his and Pei Lianxue's ten years of hard work were not in vain. After ten years of training, including taking all kinds of poisons, this was bound to have no effect on them at all.

"Sister, look, this Senior has poured wine for us."

"Ah... oh, thank you, Senior."

Pei Lianxue picked up the wine cup, drank it, then patted Ye Anping's shoulder and called out, "Brother, look, look. The bride and groom are ready to pay their respects!"
