Being knocked down by the Heavenly Dao while ascending

Mei Shuyu's eyes narrowed at Fang Qing, "You are talking nonsense. What does my illness have to do with my elder brother? When I first fell ill, I hadn't even met my elder brother yet."

"I'm not talking about the black gas in your body." Fang Qing looked around and confirmed that the bracelet's formation was indeed taking effect. She lowered her voice and said anxiously, "I'm talking about the hints you received when you were young. Otherwise, how do you explain your obsession with Mei Shanxue? Don't rush to deny it. Your obsession even exceeds your obsession with yourself. People often say, 'If you don't work for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth.' You don't care about yourself, but you care about a big brother who neither saved your life nor has a blood relationship with you. Do you think it's normal?"

Mei Shuyu was not convinced. "You are just joking. Everyone in the Mei family treats my eldest brother with the same attitude. I am not the only one."

Fang Qing had expected him to say this. "Yes, yes, the Mei family members all regard Mei Shanxue as the god of the Mei family. They think he is omnipotent and are willing to die for him. This includes the head of the Mei family, the elders, and countless disciples of the Mei family. However, no one is as crazy as you. Have you ever thought about why?" Fang Qing saw that he was about to speak, and hurriedly stopped him, "Don't rush to answer me. Mei Shanxue has more than one brother. They are all brothers, so why are you the only one like this?"

"There are many people who love and respect him. There will always be one or two who are like me. This is not surprising." Mei Shuyu's eyes turned cold. He glanced at Fang Qing, "Now I understand why Big Brother insisted on letting me come out with you. It was to give you a chance to show your true colors."

Fang Qing was still thinking about the mental suggestion that the man was really thoughtful. There would always be one or two perverts among so many people. He had thought of this kind of thing. When he heard this, he was unable to react for a moment, "Huh? I——"

Mei Shuyu made a gesture, and a pink braided rope flew out from his sleeve, wrapped around Fang Qing and tied him up tightly.

Although Fang Qing was on guard, he didn't really want to start a fight. He also wanted to see what Mei Shuyu was going to do, so he didn't resist.
Mei Shuyu restrained the person, and when the rope was pulled, she had to stand up. She opened her mouth, wanting to provoke the other person a few more times to see if there was any hope of getting any questions out of her.

Mei Shuyu took out a small bag of flower petals from somewhere and grabbed some from it and threw them out. The petals seemed to have consciousness and flew into her open mouth. She could only make "Mmmm" sounds and could not say anything else.
Fang Qing was about to cry——What the hell is going on? !

"You don't need to quibble." Mei Shuyu stared at the opened window on the second floor of the inn, and his tone softened. "No matter what the purpose is, Big Brother has accepted you as his disciple after all. I don't have the right to dispose of you. So I won't kill you. Let's go see Big Brother together and expose your tricks."

Fang Qing was speechless. He looked at Mei Shuyu and roared in his heart: Fuck! You f*cking thought you had done something great?! When you meet Pei Mingyan, you will know how wrong you are. You will know that the small pot is made of iron!!

Mei Shuyu didn't care about her look, nor did he care about other people pointing fingers at him for tying up a woman with a rope and dragging her down the street.
The waiter of the inn came to greet the guest with a smile, but his face froze when he saw the situation clearly. He quickly moved sideways to the door to make way for the stern-faced man.

The guests who were eating in the inn were also surprised for a moment, but they didn't dare to meddle in other people's business. They immediately started talking about what they were doing.

At a table in the corner of the inn, two people dressed strangely almost burst out laughing at the scene.

Mei Shuyu went all the way up to the second floor, and people he met in the corridor avoided him when they saw him and the situation behind him.
He stopped at the door of his eldest brother's room, straightened his clothes, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

The door opened immediately, and Mei Shuyu dragged people into the house.

Pei Mingyan had his back to the door, intending to expose a flaw to the two people downstairs so that they would think they had an opportunity to take advantage of him.

did not expect……

He thought of many possible situations, but he had never thought that Fang Qing was kidnapped?!
He looked out the window at the sky, and saw no reaction at all, so he guessed that there was no major fighting.

The strategy of only luring the enemy has failed temporarily.
He was a little helpless, and waved his hand. The rope loosened and fell to the ground like a circle. He asked casually, "What's going on?"
Fang Qing jumped out of the rope loop and was about to take the petals out of her mouth when she saw Pei Mingyan take out a brocade box and mutter a few words. The petals in her mouth turned into streams of spiritual energy, which flowed down her throat and into her body.

She wanted to perform the birth of a drama spirit on the spot. For this performance, she walked all the way without blinking, just to brew the tears needed for acting, but the tear just fell and she didn't have time to say anything.

Mei Shuyu lifted up her skirt and knelt on the ground, cracking the blue bricks on the floor. He called out, "Brother."

"Uh..." How come this guy is working harder than her?
Fang Qing held back her crying voice and gave in to the boss, "Don't say I'm bullying you. Let you speak first."

Pei Mingyan was shocked by the scene. "What's going on? Get up and talk." He knelt on one knee to help Mei Shuyu.

Mei Shuyu pushed his hand away, shook his head and said, "This is the punishment I deserve. Fang Qing is Big Brother's disciple, I have no right to punish him on your behalf, this is overstepping my authority."

The word "usurpation" was too unfamiliar and too harsh. Pei Mingyan let go and stood up, turning around and asking Fang Qing, "You say."

Fang Qing saw Pei Mingyan's hands hidden behind his back. His hands were clenched very tightly. If he were playing with walnuts in modern society, the walnuts would probably be crushed into powder.
It seemed that she was really angry. She stopped teasing and said concisely: "I failed to get the information, and Mei Shuyu believed that I had ulterior motives and was here to alienate your relationship."

The anger that had just risen in Pei Mingyan's heart was extinguished by these words, which made him wonder whether he should cry or laugh.
"Just for this?"

Fang Qing nodded, and in order to add some fuel to the fire, he repeated in a positive tone, "Just for this matter."

"Okay, what a farce." Pei Mingyan said.

Mei Shuyu glanced at his elder brother in surprise, then glanced at Fang Qing's expression, and immediately realized that he had done something wrong.
He lowered his head even lower.

Pei Mingyan looked at him, and he couldn't tell what he felt. He was silent for a moment, then he stretched out his hand to him.
If time had been longer, Mei Shuyu might have committed suicide by disembowelment in the next second.
It is imperative to restore him to normalcy.

Mei Shuyu looked at the hand his brother stretched out to him, and naturally would not let his brother feel embarrassed about "not being able to do it", so he stood up obediently.

Fang Qing thought there would be a—
“You get up.”
"I don't, I don't get up, it's my fault"
"You can't get up"
"No! I won't get up unless Big Brother punishes me."
……

In the end, nothing happened. It was all her imagination. She rolled her eyes and quickly found a place to sit down. "You misunderstood Fang Qing." Pei Mingyan said.

"Brother, she said——"

Pei Mingyan nodded, "I know what she said. It was my instruction."

"Why?" Mei Shuyu was puzzled. "Why do you want to sow discord between us?"

Pei Mingyan pushed him to sit on the chair and poured him tea. "Looking at the look on your face and hers, she probably hasn't finished talking yet. Where was she talking about?"

Fang Qing wanted to add some drama to herself, and was about to reply, but she couldn't remember what she said. Although this was normal, after all, it was not like when she hadn't put it on yet, and she could still look at the chat history on her phone. She had completely forgotten what she said and where she talked about, and could only remain silent.
Then he watched Mei Shuyu repeat their conversation, word for word.

God is really unfair! People are different from each other!!
After listening, Pei Mingyan asked, "Do you remember our last conversation?"

Mei Shuyu nodded. He remembered every word his brother said.

"At that time, I asked you why you came to the Mei family instead of going to Xuantianmen, right?"

"Yes, big brother." Mei Shuyu took the tea and took a sip. "Then I told you the reason."

"I remember." Pei Mingyan threw some food to Fang Qing. "You said someone whispered in your ear and asked you to come to the Mei family, because only here can you be saved, right?"

Mei Shuyu was slightly happy, "So, big brother also remembered it."

Pei Mingyan also smiled, "Shuyu, do you understand? Maybe this is the reason why you are so obsessed with me."

Mei Shuyu lowered his eyes, "What paranoia?"

Noticing his depressed mood, Pei Mingyan paused and continued, "You were still young at that time and listened to your parents' advice, but now you should understand. Your parents have passed away. Who could have reminded you?"

Mei Shuyu shook his head quickly.

"You know." Pei Mingyan glanced at him and said.

As if affected by some emotion, the veins on the back of Mei Shuyu's hand bulged for a moment. He was in pain, but seemed to have to answer this question, "The most likely person is... the wet nurse."

Pei Mingyan blinked slowly, "Yes. This may be the reason why she sent you to the Mei family alone and left."
Pei Mingyan did not elaborate, he knew Mei Shuyu could understand, why a nurse who looked after him and escorted him would hand him over to the Mei family and leave, and even be reluctant to go in for a cup of tea, there must be other reasons. But time flies, if it weren't for Mei Shuyu's abnormality, this would have been just an old thing that was not worth mentioning.

"But...but the nanny didn't mean to harm me!" Mei Shuyu's forehead was bulging with veins, and cold sweat broke out. The five fingers that were gripping the tabletop had already sunk deeply into the wood. "I came to the Mei family and enjoyed treatment that I wouldn't have even if I went to Xuantian Sect. Even if the nanny had selfish motives, she never thought of harming me."

Although Pei Mingyan still suspected that there was something wrong with the wet nurse, seeing Mei Shuyu's persistence, he could not help but evade, "Maybe she really doesn't want to harm you."

After these words were spoken, Mei Shuyu finally relaxed. The bulging veins gradually subsided, and only the wet mark on his forehead indicated his violent emotional fluctuations.

Pei Mingyan asked again, "Over the years, apart from family gatherings, how many times have we met alone?"

Mei Shuyu answered without hesitation, "Seven times."

Pei Mingyan didn't say anything else, and asked again, "How many words did I say during these seven times?"

"One hundred and seventy-six sentences." Mei Shuyu said.

Pei Mingyan nodded. "You and Fang Qing have only known each other for a short time. How many words have you spoken to her?"

"..." Mei Shuyu did not answer for a moment.

Pei Mingyan added, "Xiao Douding likes you very much. I heard that he went to see you the day before you left. How many words did you say to him?"

"I..." Mei Shuyu couldn't answer. It wasn't that he couldn't count. He could repeat the conversations with people he knew. As long as he had a little time, he could always do it. It was just...

Pei Mingyan saw that he had reacted, and asked again, "From what you said just now, the nanny is very important to you. I think you remember the scene of her leaving that day very clearly, and you have even recalled it countless times. So what did she say that day?"
