Special 3: Brother’s League (Section End) 1
“Big Brother Xiao!” In the past four years, Cui Yu Zhai had kept a special room for the brothers when they had meals together. As soon as they got into the room, they were happy to see their big brother Lin Xiao, who they had been yearning for, standing with his back facing them as the young man was making the dining table.
“You’ve arrived.” Hearing the commotion, Lin Xiao turned around, the corners of his lips arose and a warm smile appeared on his calm, everlasting gentle face.
“As soon as we heard big sister say that you were cooking dinner for us, we hated that we didn’t have wings to fly here faster.” Jiang Huai An picked up a crunchy pancake that was freshly cooked, smiling.
“Don’t need to be so exaggerating? Oh right, Long-er, Xiang Ning is looking for you with some urgent matter. I think she’s in her room. Do you want to see her now?” Lin Xiao saw his twin sister in the group, raising his voice to call her.
“Mhm, let me see. You guys start without me.” Lin Long slightly frowned, walking out of the room and heading to another room.
“Big brother Xiao, that blockhead Xiang is still chasing after her?” Si Qi Yang rudely shoved a piece of jujube soft cupcake into his mouth, and rudely spoke while chewing.
Lin Long was the oldest sister in their family. Although she was eighteen this year, they hadn’t talked about her marriage. First, it was her cold character that she didn’t like the immature guys from noble families. Second, Feng Yao Court’s issues had always kept her busy. She didn’t even have time to marry someone. At least, she couldn’t wait for some husband to come to her house and use the sedan chair to bring her home like the other ordinary women. Only a rare man, who would understand and tolerate her busyness could be her suitable match. That man shouldn’t use common ethics to bind her freedom. That blockhead Xiang Sheng, the first-born son of the Xiang family couldn’t be such a rare man. He was serious and stubborn, bored, and strict. If Lin Long married a man like him, she would be bound to death by Confucius’s code of ethics, wouldn’t she? Although the Xiangs showed that they agreed to let her continue to manage Feng Yao Court, they wouldn’t be so sure they could be as supportive as they had stated.
“Perhaps, A Yang, check the chicken broth…” Lin Xiao gently changed the topic as he didn’t want people to discuss Long-er’s marriage. It wasn’t something Long-er would be happy to hear. As he was her twin brother, he could still feel her moods.
“Oh right, Xiao, after tomorrow, we’re going to Shui Yue City.” Xue Yuan didn’t care about Lin Xi who was constantly blinking at him. He smiled and advised the other.
“You guys are all going?” Lin Xiao arched his brows, lifting his head and checking all the people seated at the round table. Seeing no one objecting, his heart twisted. “Who? What happened? Elaborate.” His brows slammed together as he remembered the time the entire group came to imperial city. It was when Jian Xing was chased by the infamous assassin organization called Wu Sha Temple. All of the brothers and sisters had come to uproot the entire organization. Then, they donated all the dirty money to Yang Xin House to give aid to refugees, orphans, and single moms. If he carefully thought about it, this was two years ago.
Could it be, one of them provoked another difficult organization?
“Big… Big Brother, please don’t get mad when you know the story. Also, please don’t tell mom.” Lin Xi saw Lin Xiao show his stern face, which was completely different from his normal face. He knew he couldn’t get out of this safe. Sending Xue Yuan a fierce glare, he obediently told his brother how he got hurt last month
“You actually got hurt?” Lin Xiao raised his voice, his face indifferently staring at Lin Xi until his outstanding brother, who got it easy to attract the strong opponent, dejectedly lowered his head. Then, he warned the other in a low voice. “Lin Xi, I remember you promised me that you would never put yourself in a dangerous situation. What do you have to say?”
“Brother!” Lin Xi rubbed his face, explaining in aggrievance. “I didn’t know who I had provoked. This time, I just simply went to the palace and discussed the border cooperation that mutually benefits the two nations with Da Hui’s Emperor. I didn’t know that some hotshots wanted my life.”
