" Where are you?"
" Ah, I am just strolling in the antique market."
" Antique market?!"
Jun Tianyun scoffed inwardly when he remembered Yan Xiao's talent. He can appraise treasures with his Daoist bloodline.
" Antique market... He will pick some random garbage from small stalls, which will turn out into super treasures."
" After that, he will earn millions by selling them. Who knows, he might attract the attention of old NPC like Feng Taihong."
Jun Tianyun mumbled as his brain started working.
" Ah! I forgot, Brother Yan really has some skills. But, You know, it's easy to get swindled there. The antique market is filled with lots of fake goods."
" Haha, Brother Jun, Thanks for your concern. However, I have quite a bit of faith in my luck." Yan Xiao chuckled.
" Hmm, Brother Yang, where is your house? I really want some antique treasures myself. If you bought any good stuff, I might purchase it."
Jun Tianyun spoke.
" You will purchase? Alright, Here is the address of my house. Brother Jun, There is also my little sister in my house. So..."
" Don't worry, I will wait for your return."
Jun Tianyun nodded as he ended the call. A grin appeared on his face as he got ready and went out.
" Hmm, Why work when a protagonist gives you all sorts of treasures?"
Jun Tianyun chuckled as he drove his Ferrari. He quickly reached a small house. It looked pretty old and worn off. Jun Tianyun nodded as he knocked on the door. He waited for a while as there was no response. Jun Tianyun again knocked loudly.
" Wh-Who is it?"
" I am Yan Xiao's friend. Please open the door."
" Elder brother isn't at home. You may come later."
" Ah, I know. I will wait for him."
The door creaked as it slowly opened. Jun Tianyun's eyes widened in surprise when he saw a sickly girl holding the door.
She stood holding her crutches as a wheelchair was behind her.
" Ah! Pardon me. I didn't know..."
Jun Tianyun spoke hastily when he saw the condition of the girl.
" It's ok. I am used to this."
The girl smiled. With such a frail body, her smile appeared like a beautiful rose amidst the desert. Jun Tianyun was slightly stunned as he appraised that girl.
" I am Yan Mingzhu."
The girl spoke as she turned around. However, suddenly, her crutches slipped.
" Ahhh!"
She yelped as her body fell. Jun Tianyun was quick as he held Yan Mingzhu's waist. Their face came closer as Yan Mingzhu's breathing became faster. Her bright eyes gazed at Jun Tianyun's face as her face slowly turned red.
" Ah, Are you ok?"
Jun Tianyun asked with concern. Yan Mingzhu nodded hastily like a little girl. Jun Tianyun nodded as he held her waist and lifted her.
" Ah! Wh-wHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Yan Mingzhu's face turned red as she shouted. One hand on her back as another was almost touching her buttocks. Jun Tianyun princess carry her to the living room.
Yan Mingzhu's heartbeat accelerated as her hands wrapped around Jun Tianyun's neck. Jun Tianyyune entered the living room as he placed Yan Mingzhu on the sofa.
" Errm, I just helped you. You should rest here. Wait a bit, I will bring your wheelchair."
Jun Tianyun spoke in a soft voice as he brought the wheelchair and placed it beside her. Yan Mingzhu finally understood Jun Tianyun's intention as she felt slightly guilty.
" I... I just got flustered and shouted at you. I am sorry..."
" Ah, No no. It's fine. On contrary, I was the one who carried you without your permission." Jun Tianyun scratched his head as he smiled.

Jun Tianyun nodded when he saw the abilities of Yan Mingzhu. She really has the capabilities of being the sister of Yan Xiao, ah!
" Uhm, I don't know your name..."
Yan Mingzhu pinched her skirt as she asked in a gentle voice.
" Jun Tianyun, I am... a friend of your elder brother."
Jun Tianyun smiled.
" Junior Sister, If you don't mind, Can you tell me about your illness?"
" It's fine. It all started two years ago."
" Our parents died on ago, We lived with our grandmother. She used to tell us strange stories of ghosts and taoists." Yan Mingzhu smiled sadly. " But two years ago, A strange illness caught me Both of my legs paralyzed."
" The doctors spoke something about a marrow illness... Whatever that is. All in all, It will cost a hefty sum of money to cure me"
" Grand mother died shortly afterward. Elder Brother Yan Xiao broke down as he neglected his studies to perform odd jobs to earn money."
" Only...Only...If this damned illness had never come...."
Yan Mingzhu clenched her fist, but she called herself.
" Elder Brother, How is he doing in school? Is everything well?"
" Recently, He bought me some nice clothes. It looked pretty costly."
Jun Tianyun smiled when he saw the reaction of Yan Mingzhu.
" It's fine. He helped me, So I gave him some money as a reward."
" But his grades... It..."
Jun Tianyun hesitated, increasing the suspicion of Yan Mingzhu.
" It...his grades are falling? Hmph! I asked him so many times to study. However, He never listens to me."
Yan MIngzhu became angry.
" Junior sister, He is doing these for you."
" I know... It's just."
Yan Mingzhu sighed as she rubbed her forehead. Jun Tianyun looked at her as an idea came to his mind.
" Junior sister, You...You have stopped going to school?"
" I only go once a week. I study from home. School..."
Yan Mingzhu's face turned slightly stiff when she mentioned the word "School". It seems the experience of school isn't pleasant for her.
" Hmm, It seems Yan Xiao will take some time. Junior sister, Wanna have some fun?"
" Fun?"
" Well, Have you gone to the market? A nearby shop is selling fish kebabs. It tastes really well."
" Well, You can see my condition...I only go to school and remain at home most of the time."
Yan Mingzhu's expression turned melancholic. She looked like a caged bird yearning for freedom.
Jun Tianyun got up as he stretched his arms.
" Yan Mingzhu, Will you come for a ride with me?"
Yan Mingzhu became stunned when she heard Jun Tianyun's proposal. She gazed at Jun Tianyun's smiling face, which looked like a radiant sun. She felt an urge that she never felt before. Subconsciously, she nodded.
" That's great. Allow me to help you."
" Ahh!"
Yan Mingzhu startled again as Jun Tianyun carried her. However, she didn't felt much awkwardness as before as she leaned on his shoulder.
" En, Big brother's friend is really handsome."
Yan Mingzhu thought inwardly. "Bah! What am I thinking."
She hurriedly shook her head. Jun Tianyun gently carried her to the outside. He could feel two soft mounds pressing on his chest.
" Thi-This car is yours?"
Yan Mingzhu's eyes turned wide when she saw the red Ferrari.
" Of course. Is there any problem?"
" N-No."
Yan Mingzhu shook her head like a rattle drum which looked very cute.
Jun Tianyun placed her on the seat as he started the engine. The Ferrari moved like a red flash as it sped on the street.
" Whoaa!!"
Yan Mingzhu's eyes sparkled like pearls as she saw the interior of the car. It was reeking of extreme luxury. When she saw the fleeting scenery of outside, a bright smile appeared on her face.
" Junior sister, Are you feeling alright?"
" Yes, It's ok. I...I just got excited about coming outside after so long."
" Haha, As long as you are happy. Here, Let's eat some fish kebab."
" WOW! TIS SHO TASHTY!"
Yan Mingzhu munched the kebab as she spoke. Jun Tianyun lightly patted her head, " Junior sister, Don't talk while eating. You might choke."
" Mhm."
Yan Mingzhu nodded. She felt like it was her happiest moment in these two years. Touring in a luxury car with a rich and handsome young man, Yan Mingzhu felt like a sweet dream.
" Ehh, So you are only a year and a half younger than me, Eh? You should focus on your studies."
" Hehe, I will. Brother Jun, Will you come often to see me?"
" Of course, I will."
Jun Tianyun nodded as they came back to their house.
[ Ding! Yan Mingzhu's favorability toward you increased! Host gets 500 Fortune points!]
" Man, Why do I feel like tricking an innocent girl?"
Although Jun Tianyun's skin was thick, even he couldn't help but shake his head. Yan Mingzhu is really pitiful.
Jun Tianyun even bought ice cream for Yan Mingzhu. Yan Mingzhu felt like all of her dreams coming true.
*Cough Cough!*
Yan Mingzhu coughed as Jun Tianyun hurriedly patted her head. " Junior sister, Are you ok?"
" I am fine. Brother Jun, Thank you for this ride. It's one of my happiest moments in the last two years."
Yan Mingzhu's smile bloomed like a flower. However, Jun Tianyun could see her moistened eyes. Jun Tinayun shook his head as he smiled.
" Ah, Elder brother! You are back!"
Yan Mingzhu shouted as she saw Yan Xiao. Yan Xiao was standing in front of the house, waiting for them.
Jun Tianyun helped her to sit in the wheelchair as he pushed it toward the house.
" You...You went outside?"
Yan Xiao's face twitched as he asked.
" Well, Junior sister was feeling bored. So, I happened to take her sightseeing."
" Zhu'er. H-How can you be so irresponsible? What if something happened to you?"
" Hmph, Elder brother, Am I not fine? Besides, I didn't go outside for so long. Staying in the house all the time, I feel suffocating."
" Zhu'er..."
" It's fine, Brother Yan. It was I who took junior sister outside. Don't worry, I took care of her properly."
" She is sick and frail. But, she can't stay in the house all the time. She also needs fresh air and sunlight."
Jun Tianyun waved his hands as he raised his voice. Yan Xiao wanted to say something, but looking at Yan Minzhu, he remained silent.
[ Ding! Yan Mingzhu's favorability toward Yan Xiao decreased! Yan Xiao's Destiny point -20! Host gets +20 Destiny points! Host gets 400 Fortune points]
" Well..."
Jun Tianyun became speechless when he saw that.
" Anyway, Brother Yan, It seems you have bought quite a good amount of things from the antique market?"
" Indeed. I had some leftover money from the old mister. I purchased some decent stuff at a low price."
Yan Xiao nodded in a happy voice as he opened his bag. Jun Tianyun's eyes narrowed as he saw various antiques inside the bag.
