Even a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its own burrow

By the edge of Soul-Severing Cliff.

Jiang Xinyao and Su Qingyue had already discussed how to confront Xia Lingxi, and now they were just waiting for that vixen to come up.

Qingyue, you have thin skin. When the time comes, just talk less, keep your attitude cold, and use your aura to suppress her!

Su Qingyue nodded, but her expression was still a bit hesitant. Sister Xinyao, do we really have to do this?

Of course! Jiang Xinyao said decisively. Listen to me, you can't go wrong.

As soon as she finished speaking, a fluctuation of spiritual energy came from the bottom of the cliff.

They are here!

Jiang Xinyao immediately straightened her back, tightened her small face, and put on the posture of a lofty expert who kept strangers at a distance. Su Qingyue also tried her best to make herself look unapproachable.

A figure rose from the bottom of the cliff. It was Qin Hao. Behind him followed a petite figure, exactly Xia Lingxi. The little girl's face was flushed, and a bit of excitement still lingered in her eyes.

Landing by the cliff, Qin Hao saw Jiang Xinyao and Su Qingyue looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy. He couldn't help but freeze for a moment.

What is wrong?

Jiang Xinyao didn't answer Qin Hao. Her gaze bypassed him and landed straight on Xia Lingxi.

She looked Xia Lingxi up and down with a scrutinizing gaze. Hmm, she was indeed quite cute, but that was about it. Nothing special.

Jiang Xinyao was just about to follow the plan and give this girl a show of strength to let her know who was boss. However, upon seeing the two of them, Xia Lingxi's eyes lit up, and she pounced over like a cheerful little bird.

Wow, you two sisters are so pretty!

Jiang Xinyao: ???

Su Qingyue: ???

Xia Lingxi grabbed their hands and said with a face full of joy, Brother Qin Hao said that Sister Xinyao is especially lively and cheerful, and that being with you is never boring. He also said that Sister Qingyue is gentle and considerate, and especially good at taking care of people.

I will get along well with both of you sisters from now on.

The cold face Jiang Xinyao had prepared was completely smashed to pieces by Xia Lingxi's barrage of praise before she even had the chance to show it.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found her mind completely blank.

At this moment, Xia Lingxi had no intention of stopping. Holding their hands, her eyes were filled with sincere little stars.

I have always wanted a sister, and now it is great, I have two all at once. Sister Xinyao, your eyes are so beautiful, they look like they can speak.

Sister Qingyue, your temperament is so good, just like a fairy walking out of a painting.

Jiang Xinyao: ...Ah, th-thank you.

Jiang Xinyao replied subconsciously, then immediately realized something was wrong. Wait, I was supposed to put her in her place and suppress her with my aura. How come I am the one feeling embarrassed from being praised now?

Jiang Xinyao turned her head to look at Su Qingyue, only to find a faint blush on Su Qingyue's aloof face. She was smiling and nodding at Xia Lingxi.

No! We cannot let this go on. How can Qingyue and I be led by the nose by her alone?

Jiang Xinyao took a deep breath, trying hard to maintain a fierce look. She coughed lightly twice, then squeezed Su Qingyue's small hand firmly, giving her a look: Do not forget what we are here to do!

Su Qingyue snapped back to reality. The blush on her face hadn't completely faded, but she managed to keep her expression in check and reassumed her cold and aloof demeanor.

Xia Lingxi, completely oblivious to their eye contact, foolishly asked Jiang Xinyao:

Sister Xinyao, why are you coughing? Is the wind from the bottom of the cliff too cold? Let me warm you up!

Saying that, she held Jiang Xinyao's hand.

Jiang Xinyao pulled her hand back with a cold face. Xia Lingxi, right? Am I very close to you? What are you trying to cozy up for?

Xia Lingxi took a step back, her eyes a bit dazed and at a loss. She turned her head to look at Qin Hao beside her, her voice carrying a bit of grievance, her eye sockets slightly red.

Qin Hao, do the two sisters not like me?

Qin Hao looked at Xia Lingxi's aggrieved appearance, then at Jiang Xinyao's feigned fierceness yet wavering face, and then at Su Qingyue's conflicted expression of wanting to speak but not knowing what to say. He couldn't help but sigh a long breath in his heart.

When there are too many people, it really is hard to manage.

It seems I have to use some of the most primitive methods.

The most primitive methods are often the most effective.

Qin Hao chuckled lightly, stepped forward, put one arm around Jiang Xinyao's waist and the other around Su Qingyue's shoulder, and pulled them both into his embrace.

The two girls' cheeks instantly turned bright red. Then, he looked at Xia Lingxi and nodded to her. Lingxi, come here!

Xia Lingxi sniffled and obediently walked over.

Qin Hao released one hand and circled all three girls in his embrace.

Alright. Qin Hao nodded in satisfaction. In order to resolve the barrier between you all, we need to do something we all love to do together.

As soon as Qin Hao said this, the cheeks of the three girls instantly blushed thoroughly.

Qin Hao brought the three of them to the courtyard prepared by Qin Yuanqing.

...... (10,000 words omitted here)

Half a month later, as the sun set in the west and the evening glow dyed half the sky red, Qin Hao's courtyard finally quieted down.

Qin Hao pinched Jiang Xinyao's burning hot little cheek. Will you dare to give me attitude in the future?

Jiang Xinyao, who was extremely satisfied at this moment, naturally obeyed Qin Hao's words completely. I will not do it ever again.

Can you get along well with them in the future?

I will get along well with them, just spare me. Jiang Xinyao nodded repeatedly, indicating that she wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Xia Lingxi on the side also hurriedly expressed, I will also get along well with my sisters.

The corners of Qin Hao's mouth curled up slightly. The most primitive method was indeed the most effective. He nodded in satisfaction. Just at this moment, an electronic voice echoed in his mind.

[You have a new rental order. Do you accept?]

Damn! Dog System, I just finished up here, and you send me an order. You dog, have you been peeping this whole time?

[Tch, as if I would care to look at your few ounces of meat. The order is here, do you accept or not?]

Hmph, let me check the new client's basic information first.

[Name: Qin Kexin]

[Identity: Daughter of the Fifth Patriarch of the Desolate Ancient Qin Family]

[Order Request: What kind of trash are you?]

[Client Rating: Massive Potential (Yin-Yang Divine Physique). Current Destiny: 4 Stones (Has the bearing of an Emperor, favored by heaven and earth)]

Seeing the new client's identity, Qin Hao was dumbfounded.

Wait, Dog System, even a rabbit does not eat the grass near its own burrow. After going round and round, how did I get an order from my own family?

[What is with this feudal dregs mentality? What era is this? It is not like you are direct blood relatives, you are separated by eight hundred generations, what are you afraid of?]

[Are you taking it or not? If not, I will cancel it.]
