The Game with Fairies
Chapter 353

Inside the cabin, the woman was crying so hard that she could barely stand.

Seeing this, Li Yuechan hurriedly went to support her aunt, wiping her tears and trying to comfort her.

Li Damu, who was being blamed and beaten, shrank into a corner like a quail.

This burly warrior didn’t dare to talk back to his wife.

Faced with his wife’s wailing, he just shrank his neck awkwardly and stammered.

“I… I didn’t know it would be like this…”

“If I had known someone wanted to harm Yang’er, I definitely wouldn’t have called him back.”

Li Damu hesitated, then turned to Li Yuechan and asked,

“Yuechan, you also practice in the Demonic Sect, you know more about the path of cultivation.”

“Does your Demonic Sect have any techniques to change one’s appearance or to create a substitute?”

“In the stories, there are always plots where someone uses a disguise to take on someone else’s identity and live their life, and no one around them can tell…”

“Why don’t I disguise myself as your brother, pretend to be him and escape with that Aunt Su on the flying boat.”

“And you can take your her and Muyang and flee.”

“As long as those demons come after me, you all will be safe.”

The simple-minded Li Damu, with his limited knowledge, thought of a way to die in place of his son.

But Li Yuechan shook her head helplessly, saying, “Uncle, disguises won’t work.”

“Those demons can track us so persistently, they must have some kind of evil method to follow my brother.”

“Even if you disguise yourself as my brother, they will still chase after him. Wherever he is, that’s where they’ll go.”

Li Yuechan’s heart was also filled with regret at this moment.

She regretted not having her uncle and aunt leave with her.

She had originally thought that when her senior said there was no way, it was because the senior didn’t want to make a move to save her brother.

After all, she had always felt that her senior was inexplicably wary and vigilant towards her brother.

Or rather, after her senior was betrayed and killed by the person she trusted most, she became distrustful of everyone.

The reason she was chosen was that the senior had watched her grow up through the family heirloom jade and knew her very well.

But even so, her senior had always observed her from a distance as she grew from an infant to the present, until last year when she turned sixteen and decided to enter the Demonic Sect to find her brother, then the senior appeared and decided to teach her the ways of cultivation.

If it weren’t for her grateful nature and her caring character towards her family, the senior in the family heirloom jade would have remained silent as she had for thousands of years, not disturbing anyone.

The senior had observed her for a long time, even more so for her “changed his temperament drastically” brother.

Li Yuechan guessed that the senior had a way to break the situation but didn’t want to waste energy on her brother.

After all, the senior was once an immortal, and even though only a wisp of her soul remained, she must have extraordinary methods.

Previously in Tianjiao City, the senior had shown her extraordinary power.

But the senior was unwilling to save others.

She did not want to see her brother die tragically, nor did she want to see the grief of her uncle and aunt sending off their white-haired person to the black-haired one.

But pleading with the senior was rejected.

In utter despair, Li Yuechan could only put herself in danger, hoping that in a critical moment, her senior would make a move to save everyone’s lives.

But now that the situation had deteriorated to this point, the senior still said there was no way.

Li Yuechan then understood that the senior had not lied to her.

Even if she could recreate the miracle of Tianjiao City and bestow her power upon her, the senior’s power probably couldn’t solve the current deadlock.

After all, those who came to kill them were all notorious demons in the demonic path, not to be underestimated.

Their family was probably doomed.

With these thoughts, Li Yuechan’s mind was in turmoil.

After she gently comforted her uncle and aunt and stopped her aunt’s crying, she took a deep breath, stood up, and said,

“I’ll go and discuss with my brother.”

Since staying on the flying boat meant certain death, Li Yuechan thought of letting her uncle and aunt leave alone.

The demonic cultivators were after her brother.

They probably wouldn’t bother to chase two mortals, right?

But just as Li Yuechan was about to open the door and leave, she found her brother standing around the corner.

In the quiet corridor, the siblings looked at each other, and the air fell into silence.

Behind them, in the room, the low sobs of Madam Liu and cries could be heard again.

Li Muyang, dressed in a robe, stood outside the room, seemingly having stood there for a long time, listening for a long time.

But he had not entered, nor had he made a sound.

It seemed that within the house ahead, where his biological parents lived, there was immense terror.

At this moment, the brother and sister faced each other, and Li Muyang’s face showed a trace of embarrassment.

He instinctively wanted to wave to his sister to show his composure.

He had been outside the house for a long time. But hearing the lamenting cries of “mother” and the desperate ideas of “father” wanting to die in his place, the usually calm Li Muyang didn’t dare to enter.

Facing such a scene, he didn’t know how to face the two closest relatives inside, nor did he know what emotions to use to face these “parents” who were willing to die for him.

He had long resisted the presence of these two relatives, and now he found it difficult to accept this heavy love with a clear conscience.

So much so that when his sister came out of the door, Li Muyang didn’t even react.

Now, as the siblings looked at each other, Li Muyang instinctively waved his hand, trying to break the deadlock.

But the girl reacted even faster.

She suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Li Muyang’s hand.

Before he could react, she forcefully dragged him away.

The two quickly left the house and arrived at the exit of the cabin.

The bright daylight shone on them, and Li Yuechan sighed softly,

“Big brother, there’s no need for you to go in. Let uncle and auntie stay there for a while.”

“You going in now would only make things awkward.”

The cunning and clever little sister was as intelligent as ever.

Seeing this, Li Muyang also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much lighter—he really didn’t dare to meet his parents in such an atmosphere.

Now, as the siblings stood at the exit of the cabin, watching the clouds whizzing by outside, Li Yuechan suddenly spoke.

“Big brother, I want to send uncle and auntie away on their own.”

“Even if they leave, they might still be found by the Qingyang Association’s demonic cultivators.”

“But after all, uncle and auntie are just two ordinary people. The Qingyang Association wouldn’t resort to using hostages to chase us.”

“If uncle and auntie go into hiding, they might still have a chance at survival…”

Li Yuechan shared her thoughts with Li Muyang.

After a moment of contemplation, he nodded, “Okay, I’ll have the maids escort them away.”

The fewer witnesses to Li Muyang’s final trump card, the better.

If possible, he even wished his little sister wasn’t on the boat.

Although from the moment Li Yuechan decided to stay and face life and death with him, Li Muyang had let down his guard towards his sister somewhat.

However, he was a cautious person, unwilling to test human nature.

The temptation of ancient times’ immortal weapons could corrupt anyone’s heart.
