Chapter 131: Bai Yun’an – Four Have Been Replaced, So What About the Last One…?

Bai Yun’an truly hadn’t expected that the eldest brother of this body was actually hiding something.

Sensing the invisible wave of energy surging toward him from behind, Bai Yun’an silently called out in his mind: 【System! Ability, defense only!】

Just as the blade formed from Spiritual Power came within half a meter of his forehead, he felt that familiar energy once again.

Thunder clashed, lightning flashed. Amid the sparks, Bai Yun’an turned and swiftly retreated.

A thin line of blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

He couldn’t blame the System for not granting him abilities—this body simply couldn’t withstand them.

This Bai Yunqi…

He really hadn’t expected that his eldest brother was the one hiding the deepest secrets in the family.

After all, someone who always stepped in dog poop, fell into latrine pits, lazed around all day, and constantly bickered with Da Chui from next door hardly seemed like the type to be hiding anything at all.

Their parents had transmigrated from the pre-apocalypse world—harmless.

But the eldest brother had come from another world where people had abilities—dangerous.

A faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at Bai Yun’an’s lips. Things were getting more and more interesting.

Of the five people who had fallen off the ox cart that day, including himself, four had already had their “cores” replaced.

So then…

With practiced ease, Bai Yun’an flipped over the courtyard wall and slipped back into the house.

What about the last one—their second brother, his twin?

Had he been replaced too?

If not, maybe he’d like to sneak in a little switch of his own?

Passing by the water vat in the courtyard, Bai Yun’an scooped up a ladle of water and rinsed out his mouth.

At the very least, he needed to get rid of the metallic taste of blood.

Big Brother would probably be back soon.

Thankfully, before heading out, he’d already disinfected and treated their mother’s wound.

Bai Yun’an quickly made his way to the door, pushed it open, and then—

Then he came face-to-face with a very familiar face, and a pair of eyes staring straight at him.

It wasn’t anyone else. It was the very person he’d just been suspecting—his twin brother, Bai Yunxing.

Bai Yunxing sat quietly on the bed, calmly watching his younger brother walk in.

“You went out?” Bai Yunxing asked.

Bai Yun’an already had his suspicions, so he answered truthfully, “Yeah, I went out to look for Big Brother.”

Sometimes, passing the blame was an art form.

With a puzzled expression, Bai Yun’an muttered under his breath, “I don’t know where Big Brother went. When I woke up, he was already gone, so I went out to find him…”

“Brother, when did you wake up? Did you see Big Brother?”

Bai Yunxing: Huh? He’s asking me? So this little brother doesn’t know anything either?

“Not long ago. I didn’t see him.”

Who could understand the feeling of waking up to find that the room, which should’ve had three people, now had only one?

If he hadn’t gone to check and seen that their parents and little sister were still there, he might’ve thought the whole family had gone off to do something big without him.

If these two still hadn’t come back soon, he’d been ready to go wake up their father—though that idea was a bit of a stretch.

As the two nearly identical brothers sat there, both silently spinning thoughts in their heads, a noise came from the courtyard outside.

In an instant, both of them instinctively held their breath and quieted down.

Bai Yunxing: He’s back?

Bai Yun’an: Here we go. Let’s see what happens.

Outside the door.

Bai Yunqi was still fuming over the bastard who hadn’t even shown his face, just zapped him with lightning a couple of times.

“Ran off faster than a rabbit!”

He muttered under his breath, pushing the door open.

Then, the moment he stepped into the room, his foot froze mid-step.

Inside, both of his younger twin brothers were wide awake, both staring straight at him, both looking almost exactly the same.

Bai Yunqi had to admit, his heart skipped a beat. Twice.

More thrilling than any adventure in the Cultivation World.

Wait a minute—weren’t these two usually sound asleep at this hour?

He’d been observing them for days!

So how were they suddenly both awake?

And when the hell did they wake up?!
