Cheng Lingyue was taken aback when she saw Cheng Lingyu .
Since when has this timid and cowardly fifth sister been able to face me with such a calm expression?
She must be pretending to be calm!
Cheng Lingyue thought so, as she knew best what kind of person Cheng Lingyu was.
Cheng Lingyue smiled maliciously: "Wasn’t sister frightened last time? I heard that the eldest sister sent you many precious medicinal materials. I must say, the eldest sister’s medicinal materials are truly good. I see your entire complexion has improved a lot."
Cheng Lingyu immediately understood what she meant; her true intention was for those medicinal materials.
"Just in time, I’ve been feeling unwell these last two days. Sister, would you be willing to share them?"
With a mocking glance at Cheng Lingyue, Cheng Lingyu honestly disdained people like her, who were not capable themselves, yet always envied others. Whenever they saw someone have something nice, they always tried to take advantage of it.
But she had no intention of letting her get her way.
She said lightly, "Those medicinal materials were brought by our eldest sister out of concern for me after I narrowly escaped death. If fourth sister wants them, are you planning to have a near-death experience first?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Lingyue’s face turned green: "Cheng Lingyu, how dare you curse me?" ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel•fire.net
Cheng Lingyu remained expressionless: "So fourth sister can change her expression? I thought your skin was too thick for any expression to show."
Cheng Lingyue was used to being arrogant and always thought this sister was easy to bully, so seeing her rebut and mock her now naturally incited her wrath.
Without thinking, she stepped forward and raised her hand: "Today, I’ll teach you what it means to respect your sister!"
Cheng Lingyu had long realized that fourth sister was merely a facade; if she truly had Mystic Qi talent, she wouldn’t be living with Cheng Lingyu.
With a slight shift, she perfectly avoided Cheng Lingyue’s slap, then caught her hand, turning it aside.
"Slap!" Cheng Lingyue’s slap landed squarely on her own face.
"How dare you hit me?" Cheng Lingyue was furious.
Cheng Lingyu feigned innocence: "Clearly, it was fourth sister’s own mistake. Sister, I didn’t do anything at all."
Unconvinced, Cheng Lingyue tried to hit her again, but of course, it was impossible to succeed.
Cheng Lingyue was kicked to the ground, incredulously staring at Cheng Lingyu: Was this that useless Cheng Lingyu? How could this be!
Even though Cheng Lingyu didn’t have Vital Energy in her body, her skills had recovered by thirty percent through continuous practice these days, making subduing someone like Cheng Lingyue a piece of cake.
Cheng Lingyu finally felt a bit scared. She looked at Cheng Lingyue with eyes full of terror: "You... how did Cheng Lingyu become ! You’re not her, are you?"
Cheng Lingyu’s expression turned cold. She glanced around; Xiao Lian had gone to fetch her medicine, and Cheng Lingyue had come alone, so no one heard the earlier conversation.
She quietly walked to Cheng Lingyue’s side, grabbed her collar, and forced her to look up: "My dear sister, you should know the saying ’trouble comes from the mouth.’ If you don’t know how to speak, then there’s no need for that tongue."
Her demeanor was utterly terrifying, and Cheng Lingyu clearly felt a murderous intent from her.
"I... I was just joking. Surely our fifth sister was just teasing her sister, right?" She attempted to force out a smile.
"Whether it’s a joke or not depends on fourth sister yourself." Cheng Lingyu pulled her up and gently smoothed her collar.
Cheng Lingyue practically fled from the courtyard in disgrace.
