There were a bellyful of questions he wanted to ask, but dared not to, fearing Yun Wanqing might hear him.
After a while, the sound of footsteps arose. Yun Zheng turned his head to see Yun Wanye, cradling the small baby, appearing at the Moon Cave Gate of the courtyard, walking slowly on the stone-paved path.
[Back, back. I should lift the control over Second Brother now.]
[Second Brother, the upcoming scene is up to you.]
As they entered the house, Yun Wanqing retracted her spiritual power. Yun Wanye’s mind cleared instantly, but he stared blankly at Yun Zheng, momentarily unable to react.
"Father, why are you here? When did you come back?"
His memory lingered on his little sister saying she wanted to control him to carry her to the home’s center. Therefore, seeing Yun Zheng suddenly made his brain crash.
Yun Zheng looked at him with deep eyes and said lightly, "I just got back. By the way, where were you taking Xiao Si?"
"Huh???"
Hearing this, Yun Wanye’s brain jolted. He instinctively looked down to see the little baby lying obediently in his arms.
A pair of smiling eyes looked at him, spinning around, scaring him so much that his arms quivered, almost dropping the little one.
Upon seeing this, Yun Zheng’s face immediately darkened. He sternly scolded him, reaching out to take Yun Wanqing away.
"Did you not eat? Almost dropped Xiao Si, here, give me Xiao Si."
Yun Wanye stood dazed, allowing her to be taken away, his mind in utter chaos.
Why was he holding his little sister?
When did this happen?
Why doesn’t he have any recollection?
Oh, right, little sister said she wanted to control him, so is it done? But why doesn’t he remember a thing?
[Hmm, Second Brother seems quite pitiable, being used as a tool without reason, and even getting scolded by Father.]
[And, Second Brother now looks so confused; he’s probably shocked seeing me in his arms suddenly, wondering if he was sleepwalking.]
[Ah, it’s my fault, Second Brother. It’s my fault that my spiritual power isn’t strong enough yet to weave new memories for you.]
[Once my spiritual power strengthens, I’ll be able to weave new memories to fill the gaps during the control period.]
Yun Wanye: "..."
So, is it really over now, and he played the tool without remembering anything?
Originally, he wanted to secretly witness her barrier, but in the end...
Hearing those inner thoughts, Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow looking at him, a touch of surprise flashing in his eyes. So, it was Xiao Si controlling Ye’er to go out?
What did they do?
Usually, Xiao Si wouldn’t act to leave alone; she must have gone for something important.
Could it truly be related to the mysterious power he sensed when he and Yun Zhan returned?
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Yun Zheng sat by the window with Yun Wanqing in his arms.
"Xiao Si, where did your Second Brother take you? Don’t follow him running around; he’s unreliable, might lose you."
[Definitely not.]
Upon hearing this, Yun Wanqing immediately began to retort in her heart.
[Father’s statement is inaccurate. I controlled Second Brother to take me out, not the other way around. Besides, even though Second Brother can be a jerk at times, he really cares for me and would never lose me.]
[Last time when we went out to play in the snow, Second Brother was afraid I’d catch a cold, so he used Inner Strength to shield me from the cold for a long time.]
[Wait, Father didn’t notice Second Brother’s odd state when we came in?]
[No way, how could Father’s perception be so off?]
[Maybe because I showed up with Second Brother, Father focused entirely on me and overlooked Second Brother, is the only explanation that makes sense.]
Yun Zheng: "..."
Xiao Si is very adept at finding reasons for illogical situations, making things seem logical without him having to act in front of her.
"Yun Wanye."
He suddenly looked up at the youth still standing at the door.
"What is it, Father?"
Yun Wanye snapped back to reality, stepping forward, looking at him puzzled.
"When I returned with your Seventh Uncle, I sensed an extremely mysterious power in the mansion. Do you know what that was?"
"..."
Yun Wanye was slightly stunned, immediately guessing that the mysterious power Father mentioned was likely his little sister’s barrier.
But he couldn’t say that.
He shook his head and subconsciously glanced at Yun Wanqing, whose eyes changed dramatically.
