Senior brother is so awesome!

The shadows of the trees swayed, a morning breeze blew, and a slight chill crept in. Yang Shanshan couldn't help but shiver. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the little thief, suppressing an unknown panic in her heart. She patiently asked, "You, explain yourself clearly. Who is your young master? Who is the Regent? I don't know them at all. You must have the wrong person."

The thief hurriedly replied, "Miss, did you take in an injured young man a few days ago? That man is my young master, and the Regent is none other than your senior brother, Zhong Zhichen!" His words were filled with intense hatred.

Yang Shanshan wasn't surprised, because her senior brother possessed an innate nobility that was beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, it was strange that a regent, second only to the emperor, would be in a small place like Sanqing Mountain. There must be something amiss! But nothing is absolute; perhaps he had grown tired of power struggles and was simply exercising. As for that flirtatious-eyed thief—what did he have to do with her whatsoever—young master?

Looking down, she saw that the petty thief was still kneeling on one knee, and she felt uncomfortable. She thought that she had been a nobody for more than 20 years, and she was not worthy of this feeling of being high and mighty. She quickly said, "Don't kneel down. Sit down and talk. Also, please release my pressure points. My whole body is numb and uncomfortable."

The thief stood up and apologized, then tapped her body a few times with his fingers. Instantly, he felt much better, and his hands and feet were able to move freely again. He couldn't help but sigh at how profound and extensive ancient martial arts were.

While massaging her arms, Yang Shanshan asked, "Let's not even talk about whether I want to save him or not. Even if I agree, what then? I'm a frail woman, I don't know martial arts and I'm simple-minded. I can't break him out of prison."

In the darkness, the thief's eye twitched as he said, "So you agree? Miss, don't worry, we'll handle the details. You just need to stall the Regent."

Yang Shanshan asked curiously, "What are your specific plans?"

"I will inform you when the time comes. Only if the Regent is too busy to attend to the prison can we rescue the young master."

Alright, it seems they're not going to tell her the specifics of the plan. But isn't it a bit of a stretch to ask her to hold off Senior Brother? The image of that icy, chiseled face flashed before her eyes, and she couldn't help but shudder. "How can you be sure I have that much ability? Senior Brother is no ordinary person and can't be fooled. You'd better give up on that idea!"

The thief's eyes dimmed, and he said in a low voice, "Even if it costs me my life, I must try. How can someone as noble as the young master withstand the Regent's torture? Zhong Zhichen is notorious throughout the land for his cruelty..." His hand on the table clenched tightly, his killing intent palpable. He rose and knelt again, repeatedly kowtowing on the bluestone slab beneath his feet, pleading, "You have a compassionate heart, please save the young master!"

Yang Shanshan had never seen anything like this before. She quickly stepped forward to help him up, saying, "Don't be like this. I'm afraid that if I can't save you, you'll all be wiped out!"

The thief bowed deeply and said excitedly, "If you agree, regardless of whether it works out or not, I will thank you on behalf of my young master and lord for your great kindness!"

Helpless, she regretted taking in the petty thief; now trouble had come her way.

Looking at the horizon, the sky was already ablaze with the colors of dawn, and the sun was peeking out. The thief's features became clearer; he was indeed extremely simple-minded. Only someone like that could blend into a crowd and go unnoticed.

“It’s dawn. You should go now. I will help you, but if you manage to rescue your young master, leave immediately and never trespass on Sanqing Mountain again. Otherwise, I won’t be able to save you next time.”

The thief nodded emphatically, lightly touched the ground with his toes, and gracefully disappeared. Yang Shanshan exclaimed in admiration, "He came and went without a sound; his lightness skill is indeed amazing!"

At that moment, the door creaked open, and Sui Xin came out of the room yawning. Seeing Yang Shanshan standing alone in the courtyard, she ran over in surprise and asked, "When did you get up, Miss? Why didn't you wake Sui Xin to serve you?"

She smiled faintly, "I'm not a child anymore. Do you think I can't live without you?"

Stomping her foot in frustration, she called out, "Miss!" and helped her into the house, nagging, "The morning dew is heavy and very harmful to the body..." Yang Shanshan was annoyed, but she knew that she was genuinely trying to help her. No one had ever nagged her like this in her previous life, so she just smiled and remained silent.

Dividing line

Yang Shanshan had just finished breakfast and was pondering how to seduce her senior brother when the torment she had endured for the past three days was served. Looking at the bowl of steaming black soup, a bitter taste filled the room. She waved her hand in disgust: "I won't drink it. My wound has healed. I don't need to drink it anymore."

Despite the young lady's childish behavior, she said earnestly, "This was ordered by the second young master. It wouldn't be good if he didn't finish it and develop a chronic illness."

Yang Shanshan pinched her nose and dodged, saying, "It's just that my second senior brother diagnosed that I'm cured and don't need to drink that bitter medicine anymore. Please take it away quickly."

Sui Xin listened with a skeptical look, "Really?"

She answered firmly, "Really!"

At this moment, the second senior brother's tall figure appeared at the door, dressed in flowing white robes, looking like an immortal. The smile on his face clearly showed that he had heard what had just been said. "Junior sister, don't be naughty."

Yang Shanshan was extremely embarrassed. Did they have to arrive at such a timely time?
