A life of two souls traveling through time

Chapter 148 It's Good to Be a Brother for a Lifetime

"So it was a misunderstanding?"

After Li Yunye explained the causes and consequences of the robbery, Mu Liang finally put down the heavy stone in his heart. However, after getting these answers, he couldn't help but have new doubts.

"Yes, it was Yanyu's sister who misunderstood." Li Yunye nodded, then picked up the tea poured for him by his brother Mu Liang and drank it in one gulp.

"You, really don't like Xuanyu? But why did you... in Qile City back then..." Mu Liang looked at his seemingly innocent brother in front of him with suspicion again. Just a year ago, he had made a vow to Xuanyu, and even threatened to redeem Xuanyu and marry her after disobeying his adoptive father after getting drunk. How long has it been now, and they have become good friends again?

"Hehe, just think of it as a dream of my youth and ignorance. Now I'm awake. Money is still the most important thing in this world!" Li Yunye's heart tightened when mentioning Qile City, and he quickly put on a money-loving face and smiled.

Mu Liang's mouth twitched slightly. This was not the Li Yunye he had known since childhood. However, this face and this pampered body could not be fake. Rather than saying that Brother Yunye had become a different person, it would be better to say that his soul had changed.

Soul exchange? Mu Liang's pupils shrank, and then he shook his head. The more he thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed. How could there be soul exchange in this world?

"Brother Mu Liang, what's wrong with you?" Li Yunye saw Mu Liang suddenly shaking his head and looking absent-minded, so he asked with concern.

"Ahem, it's okay." Mu Liang coughed lightly, and then asked seriously, "Don't you think this Yan Yu's identity is suspicious? She has such a powerful sister, and she is also skilled in martial arts, how could she commit herself to a brothel? Unless she is hiding in the brothel or has other purposes."

"Yeah, I thought of that, too. But as a wanderer, she must have made a lot of enemies outside. I guess she hid in the brothel temporarily to avoid trouble." Li Yunye thought for a moment and nodded his analysis.

"She didn't explain to you why she went to the brothel?" Mu Liang asked immediately. He didn't agree with his brother's speculation. According to Yun Ye's description, Xuanyu's sister was probably a master of poison and cruel. Why didn't Xuanyu ask her sister for help to hide from her enemies? Why did she hide in the brothel alone? Besides, she didn't seem to be hiding in the brothel. Instead, she became famous throughout Qile City with her piano and dance and became the most popular courtesan. It didn't seem like she was avoiding trouble so blatantly.

"Uh, I didn't ask." When asked by Mu Liang, Li Yunye scratched his head guiltily. He really didn't think so much at that time. Besides, he already regarded Yan Yu as a good friend. He always felt that he should not have so many suspicions. After all, everyone has secrets that cannot be told.

Mu Liang held his forehead helplessly. With his brother's brain, he still wanted to be a money-grubber? Even if you gave him a mountain of gold, he probably wouldn't be able to keep it.

"When you were robbed that night, An Yun was also poisoned by Honghua. Although it is not a highly toxic substance, it is a common insect poison in southern Xinjiang." After a moment of silence, Mu Liang continued.

"Southern Xinjiang? You mean that Xuanyu's sister is from Southern Xinjiang, which means Xuanyu is also from Southern Xinjiang?" Li Yunye widened her eyes in surprise, but when she recalled carefully, Honghua acted eccentrically and brutally, and her words and deeds were indeed not like a woman from Jingsong Kingdom.

"It's very likely." Mu Liang nodded, then raised his hand and patted his brother's shoulder and continued to persuade: "The two sisters are mysterious and unpredictable. It's unknown whether they are good or bad. You should have less contact with them in the future."

"But Brother Mu Liang, not only has Xuanyu never hurt me, she has also helped me and even saved me several times. Although we are good friends now, I don't think she has the obligation to confess everything about her to me. Everyone has their own secrets in their hearts. Let alone good friends, even if we are brothers, even I cannot be honest with you..." Seeing that Mu Liang still had doubts about Xuanyu, Li Yunye hurried to speak for her, but in the end he almost sold himself out, and he was so scared that he hurriedly shut up.

"You can't tell what her purpose is in approaching you, but you are the daughter of a famous Li family in Jiangnan..."

"Oh, here we go again. He's just the son of the richest man in Jiangnan. People who don't know would think I'm the crown prince..." Before Li Yunye could finish his impatient words, Mu Liang rushed forward and covered his mouth with his hand:

"Silly boy, you can eat carelessly but you can't talk carelessly. If people hear this and spread it, not only you, but also the famous Li family in Jiangnan will be in danger." Mu Liang looked nervous as if facing a great enemy. Then he lowered his head, held his breath and said to Li Yunye in a frown.

At this time, Mu Liang covered Li Yunye's mouth with one hand and pressed his back with the other hand. The force was so great that he was forced to lean forward, and their upper bodies were almost touching each other.

Mu Liang felt nothing in such an ambiguous posture, but Jiang Siyao's heart began to beat like a deer. Her dependent face enlarged in front of him, her eyebrows were like ink paintings, her eyes were like night stars, and her lips were slightly raised under her high nose bridge. Against the backdrop of her neatly trimmed goatee, he exuded a mature sexiness. Smelling his light and warm scent, Jiang Siyao's desire and reason were in the final struggle:

No, no, even though they are just gay on the surface, I can’t accept it!

What's unacceptable? My soul is female, and liking men is a normal sexual orientation!

But Brother Muliang couldn't accept it, he only regarded me as his younger brother. The Li family couldn't accept it either, two brothers being gay, it was too outrageous, Li Xingyuan would be so angry that he would beat me to death...

Seeing Li Yunye in front of him suddenly blushing and his eyes blurred, Mu Liang finally realized the impoliteness between the two of them at the moment, and stood up quickly in fright.

"Ah..." Li Yunye, who was suddenly released, lost his balance, fell on the bed and accidentally touched the abrasion, and couldn't help but scream in pain.

"Are you okay?" Seeing this, Mu Liang went back to the bed with a guilty look on his face and helped Li Yunye up.

"Why are you reacting so strongly? I'm not a monster." Li Yunye, who was helped up, glared at Mu Liang with resentment on his face.

She was already very satisfied that Brother Muliang could be with her, how could she be so greedy? The price she had to pay for this greed was probably something she couldn't afford, so she should just be his younger brother. It would be nice to be his younger brother for life.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I apologize to brother Yunye."
