Ji Zhangzhuo, who had his braid yanked, let out a howl of pain.
He instinctively channeled his energy and struck back, but his intuition told him he missed.
Indeed, he missed because East Gate West, upon seeing his movent, promptly transford into particles.
East Gate East’s ability is invisibility, while East Gate West’s ability is particle transformation. As long as one of them stays conscious, either of them can use both abilities simultaneously, even if the other does not agree.
Abilities are tied to the soul, and also to the body.
At this mont, even if East Gate East wanted to hold back, he couldn’t.
He could only watch as East Gate West sotis remained visible and invisible while yanking Ji Zhangzhuo’s braid and drawing on his face, then transford into particles to avoid attacks.
"Are you a child? Still pulling hair and drawing."
East Gate West ignored him and continued to vent his anger with mischief.
Ji Zhangzhuo couldn’t think of a solution for the mont, so he turned to Tuanzi for help.
"Junior Sister, please have pity on your Senior Brother! This hairstyle is a tradition of our clan, we can’t let it go!"
It seed he was asking Tuanzi for help, but he was actually speaking deliberately for East Gate West to hear.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, East Gate West stopped pulling his braid and instead kicked his calf.
Ji Zhangzhuo dramatically sat on the ground, clutching his leg and howling in pain.
"Ouch, it’s broken, it’s broken, I can never walk again!"
Tuanzi initially intended to help him, but seeing this exaggerated performance, she imdiately covered her eyes with her tiny paws.
"Oh no, I can’t watch."
Ji Zhangzhuo: "..."
The baby-faced young man rolled his eyes and imdiately shifted bla, "It’s Junior Sister taking secret photos, she’s an accomplice!"
Tuanzi: "!"
"Go pull her braid, quick, quick, quick!" Ji Zhangzhuo egged him on.
Tuanzi quickly protected her own braid.
"No pulling," she bolted, "This was braided by Third Brother, and he braids so well!"
The system, monitoring for her, detected a heat source approaching and could only warn her.
"Ahh, Sixth Brother, if you dare pull Miaomiao, you’ll be treating us to als every day, and you’ll never beco a fierce man!"
The wind seed to pause for a second but soon returned to normal.
Just then, Tantai Yi ca out of the house.
Tuanzi, with a little sulky face, flung herself over.
"Third Brother, save !"
Tantai Yi couldn’t see East Gate West, but his actions never relied on sight, rather on the fluctuations of the surrounding air.
With a slight raise of his hand, the cold inner strength released, freezing a human shape out of a certain patch of air.
Tuanzi, clutching Tantai Yi’s sleeve, looked back in astonishnt, mouth agape.
"So air does have a shape."
East Gate East screeched, "You got on Third Brother’s bad side, now I’ve been caught and frozen!"
East Gate West: "..." very displeased.
"You’re still upset? If you hadn’t ssed with Junior Sister, this wouldn’t have happened!" East Gate East let out a few shrieks, and upon sensing the other’s deeper thoughts, changed to guffaws.
"Hahaha, so you think you’re not as good as Third Brother, huh? Isn’t that normal? We’re not that powerful to begin with, we’re abandoned abilities users."
East Gate West grew even more displeased.
He refused to acknowledge East Gate East as his brother, partly because East Gate East accepted what those people said.
Those people thought they were weak, those people thought abandoning them was the right thing to do. East Gate East thought so too, even beca unconfident, cried easily, and was utterly useless!
He didn’t believe what those people said was true.
Why should his weakness or strength be determined by others? Even if he was indeed at a disadvantage for the mont, he’d work hard to beco strong, rather than cowardly hiding away.
As for it being the right decision to abandon them, ha, that’s just an excuse used by the despicable.
The intense emotional fluctuations made the patch of air tremble.
Tantai Yi feared sothing would happen to these two junior brothers and waved his sleeve again.
Once freed, East Gate West imdiately revealed his form, took a deep look at the few of them, and ran out.
"Eh?"
Tuanzi was bewildered, "Sixth Brother looks weird, like he made a terrible decision."
Unsettled, she wanted to follow and see.
Tantai Yi decisively picked her up, held her in his arms, and with a few leaps, their figures disappeared a hundred ters away.
Duan Xiayou poked his head out from the third floor, accusing Ji Zhangzhuo who was sitting on the ground, "It must be you causing trouble again. You never settle down a single day."
"Senior Brother, don’t be too quick with your words."
Ji Zhangzhuo climbed up slowly, dusting himself off.
"Properly venting emotions is good for ntal and physical health," he gazed into the distance, with a sowhat inscrutable expression, "Unlike the emotionally expressive Fifth Junior Brother, the Sixth Junior Brother appears irritable, easily angered, but actually hides many thoughts."
And while East Gate East seems to be at odds with his brother, he doesn’t reveal the part of East Gate West’s thoughts that are hidden.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to say, but he knows so things can only be said or dealt with by East Gate West himself.
"Whether those concerns are vented out, or he adapts to the tis and makes an effort, it’s fine either way."
Ji Zhangzhuo exuded an air of ’I, the Second Senior Brother, have thought this through thoroughly.’
Duan Xiayou had long seen through him.
"That’s what you say, but don’t you have any intention of teasing them?"
Ji Zhangzhuo rubbed his nose in silence.
"Ha, you’re banned from eating at for a week."
The baby-faced youth let out a wail of agony.
"What’s the point of life without at? Braised pork, grill, stead... any will do!"
After wailing, Ji Zhangzhuo suddenly patted his head.
"Wait, if you ban , I just won’t eat? I can sneak and eat!"
Duan Xiayou had already gracefully landed and, hearing this, laughed, "Tomorrow Miaomiao is going to set off to film a program, you’re going along."
The implication being that Tuanzi and Li Zhou would supervise Ji Zhangzhuo.
"As for staying ho," Duan Xiayou smiled slightly, "Do you think the Third Junior Brother can’t stop a weak you?"
Ji Zhangzhuo clutched his heart.
"That word ’weak’ is too harsh."
On the other side, Tuanzi and Tantai Yi chased after.
The little chubby face was full of anxiety.
"Sixth Brother definitely has sothing on his mind, but he won’t say it. Miaomiao already tested Fifth Brother, but he won’t say anything either."
"He has a reason for not saying, no rush."
Tantai Yi patted Tuanzi on the head, "What we can do is be by his side."
"Hmm." Tuanzi nodded, feeling down.
Just as the two were about to fly out of the community, they saw a familiar face standing at the entrance, along with East Gate West by his side.
"Oh? It’s Shilin Brother!"
Tuanzi landed and ran towards Jin Shilin with tiny steps.
"Cousin, why are you here?"
What intrigued her more was how East Gate West, who seed in such a rush to leave, obediently stood beside Jin Shilin.
The young translator adjusted his glasses, glanced at East Gate West, who appeared slightly uncomfortable, and said with a hint of aning, "He just suddenly appeared, scaring a dog held by a resident, and I compensated for him."
East Gate West lowered his head in embarrassnt.
He was currently dependent on his senior brothers and sisters for food and drink. Scaring soone’s pet dog and having his cousin compensate was very un-brotherly, very embarrassing. The previously surging emotions were all scared away at once.
