Chapter 1559: Chapter 1559: Yun Mengyao Loses Her Temper
Qin Yi looked thoroughly troubled and said:
"This is really not easy to handle."
"You have to understand, Yaoyao and I are devoted loved ones, we’re bound by life and death. If you want me to take care of this, unless..."
Yun Luocai raised an eyebrow and said, "Unless what?"
Qin Yi said with a face full of righteousness, "Unless you add money."
Yun Luocai: "..."
A deep look of contempt flashed in her eyes. She had never seen someone so shameless.
If you’re greedy, you’re greedy—why dress it up so nobly.
Looked like her cousin’s taste in people was really not that great.
"Say it, how much do you want?"
Qin Yi thought for a moment, then slowly raised one finger.
Yun Luocai said, "Ten thousand Gold Coins?"
Qin Yi shook his head.
"A hundred thousand?" Yun Luocai sneered. "Don’t you think you’re being too greedy?"
"No, it’s one million Gold Coins, or you can convert it into Earth Spirit Stones, that works too."
"You have to know, you’re asking me to betray my life-and-death friend here. I’m staking my reputation on this."
Yun Luocai looked completely disdainful, thinking: someone like you actually cares about reputation?
"Fine, I agree. Tomorrow morning, I’ll wait for you at Yunbin Building."
Qin Yi’s face was covered in smiles. "Thank you, Holy Daughter!"
The contempt in Yun Luocai’s eyes couldn’t be concealed at all. She let out a cold laugh and prepared to leave.
Right at that moment, Yin Qianqian and Yun Mengyao walked in from outside.
Yun Mengyao’s eyes were swollen red; looked like she’d been crying again.
"Big Sis."
Yun Luocai was slightly stunned, then quickly went up to greet her.
Hearing her voice, Yun Mengyao lifted her head. When she looked at Yun Luocai, her expression was full of complexity.
This was the woman who had taken everything from her.
Her relationship with Yun Luocai had never been good; Yun Luocai’s jealousy was too strong.
But now, Yun Luocai was the Feather Clan’s Holy Daughter, Jin Wuji’s wife.
"What are you doing here?"
Yun Mengyao’s expression and tone were both very cold.
Yun Luocai, however, said with a smile, "Didn’t I hear that you’d come back, Big Sis? So I rushed over early this morning to see you."
"You don’t look too well—did you not rest properly last night?"
Yun Mengyao said indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, Holy Daughter. I rested very well. If there’s nothing else, Holy Daughter may leave now."
"Big Sis, I wouldn’t dare call myself Holy Daughter in front of you. After you left for several years, I was just forced by circumstance to take over your position as Holy Daughter. You’re so broad-minded, you wouldn’t blame me, right?"
"If you want to blame me, Big Sis, I’ve got nothing to say. After all, I did take your place. I’m willing to apologize to you."
Yun Luocai’s words sounded nice, but there wasn’t a trace of guilt on her face; instead, it was full of smugness.
Yun Mengyao sneered and said:
"No need to apologize! That little Holy Daughter position—I don’t care about it at all. If you like it, you can have it."
Honestly, if it were before, she definitely would have been furious.
But now, after traveling all over with Qin Yi, seeing all kinds of things, her horizons had widened. A small Holy Daughter position no longer mattered to her.
Yun Luocai marrying Jin Wuji, stealing her fiancé, had only shaken her a little. Thinking it through, she didn’t actually care that much.
What she truly cared about was the cause of her parents’ deaths, and the murderer who killed them.
Seeing Yun Mengyao’s calm expression, Yun Luocai felt like she’d swung a fist only to hit cotton, and anger crept onto her face.
Whether it was looks or cultivation, she was inferior to this cousin in every way. So she had always been full of jealousy toward Yun Mengyao.
What thrilled her was that Yun Mengyao had disappeared, and she had taken everything that belonged to Yun Mengyao.
She could finally hold her head high in front of Yun Mengyao, so she’d rushed over at dawn.
But Yun Mengyao didn’t care in the slightest, and that made her so angry her stomach hurt.
A woman’s jealousy is truly terrifying.
Yun Luocai’s gaze flickered. "Big Sis, I know you’re in a bad mood because of Second Uncle. But the dead can’t come back; don’t be too sad. Taking care of your health is more important."
"Shut up!"
Yun Mengyao snapped in a harsh shout.
Yun Luocai could poke at her with anything else and she wouldn’t care, but her parents’ deaths were off limits.
"Yun Luocai, I’m warning you! You’d better remember this clearly. You want the Holy Daughter position, you want to marry Jin Wuji—these things I can choose not to care about."
"But if you dare use my parents’ deaths to provoke me again, don’t blame me for being rude to you."
"Do you really think you can replace me? If I feel like it, I can make everything you’ve worked so hard to get vanish in an instant."
Yun Mengyao’s gaze was sharp as a blade, her whole body wrapped in killing intent.
Yun Luocai was so frightened she stepped back two paces.
Her cousin had changed.
The Yun Mengyao of the past was noble and pure, gentle and warm. Even though she wasn’t the Holy Daughter, she never lost her temper.
But the Yun Mengyao now, when she got angry, was filled with murderous Qi.
And she knew very clearly that Yun Mengyao’s talent and looks were both above hers. She herself was just a stand-in; now that Yun Mengyao had returned, there was no guarantee Jin Wuji wouldn’t start having thoughts about Yun Mengyao again.
So what Yun Mengyao had just said was true—if she wished, everything Yun Luocai currently possessed could turn to nothing.
This was also why she had tried to rope in Qin Yi earlier.
Yun Luocai’s face-changing skills were top-notch; in an instant she became pitiful and aggrieved, saying:
"Big Sis, I’m sorry, I misspoke. I know you’re in a bad mood right now. Vent whatever anger you have on me, I won’t blame you."
"Since you’re feeling down now, Big Sis, I won’t bother you. When your mood improves, little sis will come visit you again."
With that, she hurriedly left with her people.
Only, before leaving, she deliberately glanced back at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi smiled faintly and gave a slight nod.
Yin Qianqian led Yun Mengyao over toward Qin Yi, casually saying:
"Seems like your relationship with your sister isn’t very harmonious."
A hint of bitterness touched Yun Mengyao’s lips as she said:
"It doesn’t matter, I really don’t care. Right now I only want to find the murderer who killed my parents."
Yin Qianqian was just about to speak when she saw Qin Yi playing with a finely forged gold hairpin, and said with interest:
"What a beautiful gold hairpin. Are you planning to give it to me, or to Yaoyao?"
Qin Yi hurriedly put the hairpin away. "Stop dreaming. I went to a lot of trouble to trick this out of that woman’s hands. This gold hairpin is completely handmade and quite valuable."
Yin Qianqian was slightly startled. "You mean Yaoyao’s cousin."
Qin Yi gave a slight nod.
"While we weren’t here, what shady deal did you two make? Or did you sell your charms just to get that hairpin?"
Qin Yi said teasingly:
"I lied to her that my legs were crippled. She thought I was pitiful and gave me the hairpin."
Yin Qianqian rolled her eyes. "Only a ghost would believe you."
"Looking at it now, that woman isn’t just vulgar, she’s a total vase. Didn’t she bother to find out who you are?"
"Oh?" Qin Yi asked curiously. "Who am I?"
Yin Qianqian laughed. "Anyway, you’re not a good person. I can practically smell the scent of scheming. Tell me, are you plotting someone again?"
