28: Section 28

That is, he was waving the Empress's banner.

Otherwise,

why would the Divine Martial Division pay attention to a Young Marquis barely in his early twenties?

It seems

I still need to build my own team!

Only then will it be

more convenient to use.

Cao Yang felt a slight pang in his heart, his gaze narrowed slightly, and he already had a plan... In a flash,

the people were gone, the building empty, and the scene silent.

Only Cao Yang, Xiao Moran, and Ye Liuli remained in the manor.

Of course,

there was also the Dust-Covered Fairy Dan Ruyan, whose cultivation was sealed and who was still unconscious...

"Brother..."

Witnessing her brother Ye Chen's death with her own eyes,

Ye Liuli's mind had already collapsed, her legs gave out, and she slumped in front of Ye Chen's corpse, her face streaked with tears.

These past few days,

she had endured humiliation and swallowed her pride,

all for nothing more than to secure a path to survival for her brother, Ye Chen.

But now,

her brother, Ye Chen, was still dead!

In the end,

she accomplished nothing, protected nothing... Father, Mother, and Brother... all dead.

All dead!

"Xiao Moran, why did you kill my brother!"

Ye Liuli clenched her fists tightly, her eyes bloodshot, staring intently at Xiao Moran!

Staring at this

woman who was originally supposed to become her sister-in-law!

"Your brother?"

Xiao Moran smiled: "He's not your brother, but your enemy. You should thank me for killing him..."

"You're lying!"

Ye Liuli's gaze was cold.

This Xiao Moran first killed her brother, and then tried to sow discord.

In the past,

she had truly misjudged this woman!

It was a pity that her brother had liked her so much when he was alive...

"Although you two are siblings, can you honestly say you bear any resemblance to each other?"

Xiao Moran's expression was disdainful: "Furthermore, Ye Chen's blood hasn't dried yet. You can also check your bloodlines; it's not a difficult task..."

Ye Liuli gritted her teeth.

She bit her fingertip,

letting out a drop of blood, then touched it to Ye Chen's blood.

She didn't believe Xiao Moran's words.

This woman

must be lying to her!

She wanted to expose her lies!

But... seeing the scene of their blood not mixing, she stood there stunned.

How could this be?

Ye Chen... really wasn't her brother!

"Eighteen years ago, Ye Father and Ye Mother annihilated your Family. Seeing your extraordinary Bloodline, that you were a Mysterious Yin Body, they brought you back to the Ye Family and adopted you, calling you Ye Chen's younger sister..."

"In reality—"

"You were merely a Cauldron raised for Ye Chen..."

Xiao Moran continued to twist the knife.

"Don't..."

"Don't say any more!"

Ye Liuli covered her ears, unwilling to accept it.

Eighteen years of living together,

she had long regarded Ye Father and Ye Mother as her own parents, and Ye Chen as her own brother.

Now,

Xiao Moran was actually telling her

that Ye Father and Ye Mother were not her parents, and Ye Chen was not her brother.

Their Family

was, on the contrary, the enemy who annihilated her own Family.

How could she possibly accept this...!

"How truly pitiful..."

But Xiao Moran was relentless.

A smile played on her lips,

as she continued to attack Ye Liuli's heart: "To be sold and still help count the money, in this world, only my Little Sister Liuli could be so foolish..."

"No!"

"It's not like that!"

Ye Liuli covered her ears, her eyes full of tears.

Compared to before,

she was even more distraught!

It wasn't the despair of witnessing Ye Chen's death.

It was the despair of being hidden from and deceived for eighteen whole years!

The despair of being sold

yet still helping to count the money!

Beside them,

listening to Xiao Moran's words,

Cao Yang's expression was amused.

He naturally knew Ye Liuli's background.

After all, this was the standard for a cool novel's Protagonist: he has a sister, but nine times out of ten, she won't be biological, and might even be an enemy, leading to a love-hate relationship... But now,

Xiao Moran had revealed this secret.

It couldn't help but make Cao Yang a little surprised.

Was this woman helping him recruit a younger sister...?
