Listening to Ye Ziyan's words, Ye Xiao was really speechless, but to be fair, Ye Ziyan's words were actually quite straightforward.

"Ziyan, you're getting bolder," Cheng Yun looked at Ye Ziyan from not far away and said, "You're actually treating our big sister as a burden, or is it that now you're a student, you're no longer afraid of the big sister's punishment?"

Ye Ziyan quickly chuckled and said to Wang Luoxin: "Big sister, I didn't mean you. I believe you're definitely not a burden."

"Have you two said enough? Can you say something useful?" Wang Luoxin said, looking displeased.

Ye Xiao knew Wang Luoxin was a bit embarrassed, after all, this was in front of Cheng Yun and Ye Ziyan.

Ye Xiao smiled slightly and teased, "Your big sister wants us to say something useful, let's talk about Ziyan."

"Me?" Ye Ziyan said with a strange face, "What's there to talk about me."

"Of course there is," Ye Xiao said to Ye Ziyan, "Now, what I most want to know is, how's your schooling going? Have you finished the procedures?"

"There's just the last step left," Ye Xiao said.

"Oh?" Ye Xiao said with some curiosity, "How come there's still one more step? What does that mean?"

"Haven't paid the tuition fees yet, Yanyuan University said I could start school first and pay later, but I dislike owing people things, especially money, so, brother, it's up to you," Ye Ziyan said to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao suddenly felt helpless, she needed tuition fees now.

However, this money seemed like nothing to Ye Xiao, so he directly took out a card from his clothes, the card didn't look very clean, Ye Xiao said to Ye Ziyan, "All my money is here, you can take it to swipe."

"I won't!" Ye Ziyan said stubbornly.

Ye Xiao was puzzled after hearing that and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You need to personally go to pay for me," Ye Ziyan said with some stubbornness.

"There's no real difference, it seems," Ye Xiao said.

"Isn't it obvious?" Wang Luoxin smiled and said, "She wants her brother to keep her company, it's kind of unbearable, I'm going to sleep."

With those words, Wang Luoxin stood up from the sofa, looking tired and wanting to sleep, and Cheng Yun also stood up when she saw Wang Luoxin standing up.

Seeing these two stand up and leave, Ye Ziyan didn't care, smugly saying to Ye Xiao, "They're definitely jealous, brother, it's great to have a brother."

Ye Ziyan's face showed a blissful happiness, which was definitely genuine.

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, reached out and smoothed Ye Ziyan's bangs, and said with a smile, "Having a sister is also great."

Ye Ziyan was embarrassed by Ye Xiao's somewhat ambiguous move, her cheeks blushing, and she quickly stood up, looking at Ye Xiao and said, "Brother, I... I'm also tired, and I have to go to school with Coco tomorrow morning, so... I'll go to sleep first."

Ye Xiao nodded, then watched Ye Ziyan leaving in a hurry, which puzzled him slightly. Clearly, this girl was acting a bit unusual for Ye Xiao.

However, Ye Xiao was smart, figuring it out just seconds after Ye Ziyan left.

Ye Xiao smiled slightly, chose not to think too much, and stood up, heading directly to his room.

Returned to the room and closed the door.

Ye Xiao understood that Wang Luoxin, Ye Ziyan, Xia Mingyue, and Jiang Miaoke would all assume something might happen between him and Xin Hemei, given that a single man and woman were alone in a room.

However, these things weren't important since Ye Xiao wouldn't do such a thing, firstly, Ye Xiao understood he's not a sleazy person.

Entering the room, Ye Xiao didn't turn on the light but directly went to get the Azure Dragon Tripod from its hiding place, and then took out some Pill herbs along with it.

Ye Xiao didn't stay in the room but took these things and left the room.

But, where should he go?

Standing in the living room again, Ye Xiao was truly stumped.

This house's layout is four rooms, two living rooms, two bathrooms, and one kitchen.

Looking at the spacious living room, it was obviously not suitable, Ye Xiao then glanced at the kitchen, which didn't work either because there's a gas supply, in case his skill's heat energy was too strong and exploded the gas, everyone would be in trouble.

Only the two bathrooms were left.

Ye Xiao immediately shook his head, firmly disagreeing to use the bathroom for Alchemy, it was nonsense, and the Pills made later would be questionable.

But where should he go?

Finally, he made a decision.

Approaching a room door, he knocked.

A vigilant voice immediately came from inside.

"Who is it?"

Ye Xiao said, "It's me."

"Oh!" came the sound from inside the room.

Ye Xiao stood at the door and waited for a full minute before the door finally opened.

Standing at the door was Ye Ziyan, dressed in cartoon Mickey Mouse pajamas and pants.

Ye Ziyan looked up at Ye Xiao standing at her doorway. She seemed both puzzled and a bit shy.

"Brother, what's up?"

Ye Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Can I stay over at your place tonight?"

"Ah?" When Ye Ziyan heard Ye Xiao's words, she was completely stunned.

Ye Ziyan had never expected Ye Xiao to say something like that, and that he actually wanted to spend the night at her place. How can that be? You know, they are siblings now, though they're sworn siblings, but still siblings.

Ye Ziyan is a clever girl, but she's also a girl with a very rich imagination.

When she heard Ye Xiao mention staying over for the night, many scenes popped into her mind instantaneously, along with numerous words.

Among those numerous words, there was one that shocked her.

Sworn sister!

That's right, she is Ye Xiao's sworn sister. But at this moment, Ye Ziyan thought about the word 'sworn', which is actually a polyphonic character, and one of its tones is the fourth tone, which means it's no longer what was mentioned before but becomes that very sordid 'sworn sister'. Of course, the 'sworn' here has changed to the fourth tone.

"Brother, you should be clear about our relationship now." From the bottom of her heart, Ye Ziyan has long harbored feelings for Ye Xiao. But now they are sworn siblings, if anything inappropriate was done, even Ye Ziyan herself wouldn't be able to forgive herself or Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao, listening to Ye Ziyan's words, suddenly felt puzzled, looking at Ye Ziyan, he said: "I know, that's why I think staying over at your place is most suitable."

Most suitable?

Ye Ziyan, hearing Ye Xiao's words, felt a sudden chill.

Is this really the Ye Xiao she admires? Why would he say such things, and be so brazen to want to spend the night in her room? Could it be that, in Ye Xiao's eyes, she, Ye Ziyan, is just such a reckless woman?

"Brother, you've let me down." Ye Ziyan looked at Ye Xiao, her expression twisted.

Ye Xiao listened to Ye Ziyan's words, suddenly feeling strange.

"How have I let you down? Ziyan, are you okay, it's just spending a night at your place, isn't that a big deal?" Ye Xiao was truly puzzled, how come the carefree Ye Ziyan seemed to have suddenly changed persons?

Ye Ziyan, listening to Ye Xiao, suddenly felt irritation rising, feeling quite unhappy. How could one say it's just a night stay, what else is expected?

To speak frankly, at least she's still a virgin, how can one be so casual? Besides, before confirming their sworn siblings status, what was he doing? And now that they've confirmed they're sworn siblings, Ye Xiao actually wants to stay over.

Ye Ziyan also felt unwilling and dissatisfied, glaring at Ye Xiao, she said: "Ye Xiao, didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

Ye Xiao was directly stunned by Ye Ziyan's words.

To be honest, Ye Xiao was really somewhat clueless at this moment about what on earth was happening, is a night's stay that difficult?

However, since Ye Ziyan had already said so, Ye Xiao no longer insisted, picking up the Azure Dragon Tripod and all the medicinal materials from the ground, he seriously looked at Ye Ziyan and said: "I'm leaving."

Subsequently, Ye Xiao carried his things and walked towards the door. Although Ye Xiao was usually good-tempered, having been lectured by whom he considers his beloved sister, he felt quite overwhelmed, feeling inevitably frustrated.

It was then that Ye Ziyan noticed the Azure Dragon Tripod and some medicinal materials in Ye Xiao's hand.

Suddenly, Ye Ziyan realized something, could it be he didn't mean that?

"Wait... wait a minute!" At this time, Ye Ziyan suddenly spoke.

Ye Xiao stopped, but did not turn around.

Ye Ziyan hesitated a bit, but to prove it was her mistake, she still lightly said: "Are you planning to refine medicine in my room?"

Ye Xiao nodded slightly, saying: "I didn't expect that as your sworn brother, wanting to borrow a small part of your room would actually..."

Ye Xiao was indeed feeling somewhat wounded at the moment, he really couldn't understand what was wrong with Ye Ziyan today, did she take something wrong?

Ye Ziyan, upon hearing this, was immediately filled with mixed emotions, feeling regretful beyond measure.

She quickly stepped towards Ye Xiao.

She truly regretted to the core now, realizing this time she really misunderstood Ye Xiao.

Just because Ye Xiao kept saying staying over, it muddled her.

"Brother, I misunderstood, I'm sorry, truly sorry." Ye Ziyan looked at Ye Xiao, with an apologetic expression, she said.

"Sorry?" Ye Xiao was truly a bit helpless, he really didn't know what on earth was going on, Ye Xiao looked at Ye Ziyan and said: "Ziyan, what exactly happened, why did you suddenly..."

Ye Xiao also wanted to promptly understand what on earth happened.

Ye Ziyan slowly lowered her head, this matter was really something hard to verbalize.
