"Brother."

"Qinniang is awake, come, it’s time to eat."

He took out a box full of rice and a spoon from his backpack, originally prepared for himself. But now that he had gained a younger sister, he naturally gave it to her instead.

"Brother, you eat, I’m not hungry."

Little Qinniang pursed her dry, cracked lips and turned away.

He didn’t say a word; he simply used the spoon to transfer the pot’s mishmash rice into the metal box, spoonful by spoonful. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Little Qinniang just standing there blankly. She didn’t turn to watch his movements but instead looked away into the distance.

On the surface, she seemed indifferent, but her slightly quivering little nose revealed her inner craving for the food.

With a gentle smile, her kindness sincerely touched him. Putting aside that she was now his sister, even if she was a stranger, he would still feel a natural sense of compassion.

When the food box was full, he walked over to Little Qinniang with the box and spoon, hugged her from behind, and placed the box and spoon in front of her from either side.

"Little girl, as long as I’m alive, I won’t let you go hungry again. Eat up."

Saying that, he spooned some fragrant mishmash rice and brought it to Little Qinniang’s mouth.

"Open up."

Little Qinniang slightly opened her mouth and took in all the food from the spoon.

"Is it good?"

"Um," Little Qinniang nodded vigorously.

"If it’s good, brother will make it for you every day. Here, you hold the spoon and the food box."

Little Qinniang took the box and spoon and sat down beside him.

He had thought she would wolf it down, but she ate slowly, in little bites, and from time to time, she would glance at him, as if worried he wouldn’t have enough to eat.

"Eat up, don’t worry. If it’s not enough, your brother will cook more for you."

He gently stroked her head with his hand, then absentmindedly picked a couple of tree branches of similar thickness, peeled off the bark to use as chopsticks.

"Brother, here."

Little Qinniang handed her spoon over to him.

"Brother doesn’t need it. I’m a boy, so it doesn’t matter if I’m a bit rough when I eat. You are a girl, Little Yan, and I will dress you up beautifully like sisters Wu and Xi Yu."

Unexpectedly, Little Qinniang shook her head: "I just want to be with Brother."

He smiled, "Silly girl, your brother will always be with you."

After dinner, Little Qinniang took the initiative to clean the pots and pans in the nearby creek. Watching her cracked skin, a pang of pain surged in his heart for no reason.

It was distressing. Girls her age were usually the treasures of their parents’ hearts, unlike Little Qinniang.

He took the pots from her hands and set them aside, then stretched out his left hand to her: "Little Yan, put your hands in your brother’s palm."

Little Qinniang wouldn’t resist his words. She obediently placed her cracked and peeling hands in his.

His right hand covered hers, and to Little Qinniang’s astonishment, a green halo emanated from his right hand. The green light, like a living thing, intricately seeped into the outer layer of Little Qinniang’s skin. Under their gaze, the dead skin quickly shed, and new, fair, and smooth skin gradually appeared.

"Ah!" Little Qinniang let out a cry of surprise, staring at her gradually changing hands with disbelief, "Brother, my hands have changed, huh?"

Petting her head affectionately, he smiled and said, "Brother said that I’ll be sure to make Little Yan pretty."

Little Qinniang didn’t say much, just nodding seriously.

"Leave making Little Yan pretty to me," Wu Qiyi said as she walked over from not far away.

You looked at her with slight surprise and asked, "How did you find this place?"

Wu Qiyi pointed at the still brightly burning fire in front of the tent and said with a smile, "The smoke is so thick, how could I possibly not see it?"

"Elder Sister Wu."

Little Qinniang called out politely.

Wu Qiyi walked up to Little Qinniang, mimicking your action, she placed her hand on the girl’s head and gently caressed it: "Little Yan seems a bit distant when she talks to me. It seems she’s more attached to you."

"Nonsense, I’m her brother," you retorted with annoyance, shooting her a sidelong glance, "She’s my sister, what kind of jealousy are you eating?"

Suppressing a smile, Wu Qiyi reached out and took Little Qinniang’s delicate hand, saying to you, "Join me in going to the village tonight. It’s still too cold outside at this time of year. I’ve also prepared clothes for Little Yan; after she takes a bath tonight, she can change into them."

"No," you shook your head, looking in the direction Wu Qiyi came from, "Not just Little Yan, tonight, you and Xi Yu will sleep in the tent. The three of you will squeeze in together; I’ll sleep in that dormitory."

Wu Qiyi’s eyes widened with surprise, and a sharp glint flashed through her gentle gaze. She was on the same wavelength as you, and from your words alone, she had already picked up some information. She asked gravely, "Is the problem really that serious?"

"I’m not sure, I need to investigate personally to find out. Just to be safe, it’s better for the three of you girls to be outside," you paused, then added, "I’ll set up a Five Elements Formation here in a while so you can have a good night’s sleep without worry."

Seeing Wu Qiyi nod, you then inquired, "Where’s Xi Yu?"

"She just went to check the supplies; she should be heading back to the dormitory by now. I’ll call her over."

"No need, the moment she realizes you’re not there, she’ll definitely find her way here. I’ll start setting up a Talisman Formation first. This place gives me a bad feeling—I keep thinking that something big is about to happen, I better act quickly."

As you said this, you took a few steps forward, and seeing this, Wu Qiyi pulled Little Qinniang back to the side of the tent.

"Scenic Sect, open!"

With a low shout, the Sen Luo Curse Mark in your pupils spun rapidly as five Orange Charms flew out of your pocket. These Orange Talisman Papers slowly circled around you, each Charm glowing with a different light.

You spread your hands, formed a Hand seal, and commanded loudly, "Activate!"

The five charms soared into the sky, spinning rapidly in midair.

At this moment, Wu Qiyi and Little Qinniang looked up and saw a giant Bagua Map faintly appearing within the swirling charms.

"Descend!"

The five charms immediately burrowed into the earth from midair. Wu Qiyi and Little Qinniang noticed that within a twenty-meter radius centered around where they stood, Bagua Maps encased the area, which quickly vanished into the earth as well.

"I’ve never seen this Five Elements Formation before, and it’s not mentioned in the books that Xiao Feng and his group practice with."

Although Wu Qiyi seldom visited the Detective Agency, she was a member of the agency after all, and she had a firm grasp on all its information.

Of course, the Detective Agency was not the only thing under her control—you knew that she almost knew everything about all of you!

In a sense, Wu Qiyi was actually the most frightening one!
