Chapter 1004 Guilt And Hatred
While Jiang Yingyue and Xiao Ya were talking, a young man seventy percent resembled Jiang Yingyue walked into the courtyard. He was Jiang Yingyue’s younger brother, Jiang Zhu.
“Are you ready, my good big sister?” A playful smile appeared on his lips as he spoke.
Jiang Yingyue glanced at him and uttered coldly. “Scram.”
Jiang Zhu’s expression changed slightly, and he calmed down the next moment. A sneer appeared at the corner of his lips as he said. “Go ahead. This is the last chance for you to be arrogant. Hehe. I want to see what you look like under Young Master Wang’s crotch later.”
Xiao Ya was so furious when she heard this. “You are going too far, Second Young Master!”
“Too far?” Jiang Zhu glanced at her and chuckled. “If I remember correctly, you are sixteen this year. Good! You will be a bed-warming bitch for me from now on.”
Xiao Ya’s face turned pale as her body trembled in fright. The earlier courage vanished utterly.
Pa!
Suddenly, Jiang Zhu was slapped in the face and was sent flying into the distance.
“You should be grateful for my mother’s bloodline in your body.” Jiang Yingyue stared at Jiang Zhu, who was struggling to get up, with an incomparably cold expression.
“Cough!… You!” Jiang Zhu spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with deep hatred as he stared at Jiang Yingyue.
Since he could remember, he had constantly been suppressed by Jiang Yingyue in every aspect. Everyone in the clan always looked down upon him, and they kept comparing him with her. Hence, toward this genius elder sister, he had nothing but hatred and resentment.
Seeing the hatred in his eyes, Jiang Yingyue sighed inwardly. She naturally knew what he had been through during these years. Unfortunately, she tried everything she could already to fix the relationship between him and her, but it was futile.
“Hehe. Hahaha!” A moment later, Jiang Zhu laughed angrily and said. “You should wash yourself clean now. Otherwise, Young Master Wang will despise you later.”
Jiang Yingyue continued to stare at him without saying a word.
“Hmph!” Seeing Jiang Yingyue remaining silent, Jiang Zhu snorted and flicked his sleeve, walking out of the courtyard.
He came here to gloat about her misfortune, and his purpose had been achieved. There was no point in him staying here further.
“Young Miss… He… He’s so hateful!” Xiao Ya growled.
Jiang Yingyue turned to her and said. “I will send you away later. Someone will protect you.”
Xiao Ya was taken aback and hurriedly said. “No! Young Miss. You can’t kick me away! I don’t want to leave you.”
“Silly girl.” Jiang Yingyue smiled and touched Xiao Ya’s neck, making her faint.
“Uncle Rong.” She stuffed her personal token into Xiao Ya’s pocket and placed her on the nearby bench before speaking softly.
A middle-aged man suddenly appeared a few meters from her and said. “Miss.”
His eyes were filled with guilt and pity when he looked at Jiang Yingyue.
“Please send her to a place called the Heavenly Cloud restaurant.” Jiang Yingyue looked at him and said.
The middle-aged man, Uncle Rong, sighed softly and said. “She will be fine.”
As he spoke, he waved his hand and brought Xiao Ya into his arms.
“Thank you.” Jiang Yingyue said with a faint smile.
Uncle Rong hesitated briefly and said. “I’m sorry, Miss. I can’t protect you this time.”
“It’s not your fault.” Jiang Yingyue replied calmly.
Uncle Rong sighed and said. “It would be good if Mistress is here.”
Jiang Yingyue didn’t say anything further and turned to look at the moon.
Seeing this, Uncle Rong took a deep look at her before vanishing from the place, along with Xiao Ya.
“Junior brother. Junior sisters. Master…” Jiang Yingyue murmured to herself, and her eyes gradually turned resolute.

“Headmaster, this is the information we got from Senior Long Ying.” On the top floor of the Heavenly Cloud restaurant’s building, Yun Chan placed a jade slip in front of Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian used his Spiritual Sense to read the contents inside and fell into deep thought.
The Wang Clan’s territory spanned thousands of kilometers on the northern side of the Azure Ancient City. It was close to the Azure Palace’s location.
In order to protect themselves from an unexpected event, they deployed numerous protective and killing formations around the place. And none of them were below the peak of the Monarch level. It could be seen how rich they were.
The information Long Ying gave him surprisingly included all the formation nodes and hidden passages within the Wang Clan’s territory. This allowed him to formulate a plan more efficiently.
“As expected from a powerful figure like her. Her perception isn’t something I can compare to.” Yun Lintian believed he couldn’t get such a detailed map by himself, even with the help of the Eyes of Heaven.
“Tell Qianxue and the others. I will spend these two days doing something.” He looked at Yun Chan and said.
“Understood.” Yun Chan paused for a moment and said. “Headmaster. Yun Chenyu regained her consciousness not long ago, but she seems to forget her past completely.”
Yun Lintian’s brows raised slightly. He was busy during this period and had no time to take care of his newly recruited disciple.
“Memory loss?” He touched his chin and said in doubt. “This is good as well… I will leave her with you first.”
“Yes, Headmaster.” Yun Chan replied and walked out of the room.
Yun Lintian tapped his finger on the table for a long while and took several formation stones out. He planned to give the Wang Clan a surprise later. 𝐛𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝗼𝐫𝗴
While Yun Lintian was working on the formation stones, Uncle Rong arrived at the Heavenly Cloud restaurant with Xiao Ya in his arms.
When Yun Ai saw this, she stepped forward and asked. “Welcome, esteemed guest. Are you looking for a place to stay or having a meal here?”
A strange light flashed through Uncle Rong’s eyes when he saw Yun Ai as he seemed to see through something extraordinary.
He handed Xiao Ya to Yun Ai and said. “There’s a token in her pocket.”
As he spoke, he turned around and disappeared into the bustling street, leaving Yun Ai standing there in confusion.
She didn’t notice that someone in the crowd had witnessed this scene before speaking to a transmission jade in a low voice…
