"Sister, have I bothered you?"

The boy, who was about three years old, was so frightened by Chu Yun'er's expressionless face that he almost cried.

Upon hearing this...

Chu Yun'er was in a real bind, mainly because she hadn't expected the other party to come here.

"Don't cry, that's not what I meant."

"I just don't want to be disturbed by others when I'm refining pills."

Chu Yun'er tried her best to comfort him, and the boy's emotions gradually stabilized.

At this moment, the little boy and the beautiful young woman became the focus of attention.

The cultivators in the courtyard all focused their attention on the two of them.

"Is this Chu Yun'er's younger brother?"

"I don't recall ever hearing that he has a younger brother, and this child looks quite young, yet his cultivation level is quite high!"

"He looks about two or three years old, yet he already possesses the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage!"

Many Qin family cultivators exclaimed in surprise.

The commotion quickly attracted a group of sword cultivators.

The sword cultivators of the Peerless Sword Pavilion were equally astonished when they saw the child's cultivation level.

To reach this level at the age of two or three is to be a genius among geniuses.

“This is my master’s son, Ouyang Xiu.”

“He had a son late in life, and this child has been close to me since he was little. He is always by my side and always calls me sister.”

Noticing the puzzled looks from the crowd, Chu Yun'er took the initiative to introduce herself to them.

At the same time, she looked at the beautiful young woman, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This is Ouyang Xiu's protector, an eighth-grade alchemist of the Alchemist Association, and a peak Saint cultivator, Mingyue Xin."

Ouyang Xiu! A Heart Full of Bright Moonlight!

When the sword cultivators present heard these two names, the way they looked at Ouyang Xiu changed.

"The second genius of the Alchemist Association!"

"I heard that his talent in alchemy is no less than Chu Yun'er's, but because he is too young, everyone ranks his talent behind Chu Yun'er's."

"Mingyue Xin and Rushuang Sword Saint were from the same era, and were also among the peerless geniuses of the previous generation of Alchemists Association!"

The cultivators were abuzz with discussion. They had never met Ouyang Xiu and Mingyue Xin, but they had heard some of their stories.

Ouyang Xiu, in particular, was born with extraordinary signs.

In just two years, he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage and became a second-grade alchemist.

Some believe that within a hundred years, Ouyang Xiu will be able to catch up with Chu Yun'er and become an eighth-grade alchemist.

"Mingyue Xin greets Immortal King Liu Piaopiao."

Mingyue glanced around, but her gaze finally settled on Liu Piaopiao. She stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

As for Liu Rushuang and Liu Ruxue, she ignored them both.

"Um."

Liu Piaopiao nodded slightly, but did not show much enthusiasm.

Let me introduce you.

"This one is the Frost Sword Saint, and the other one is the Snow Sword Saint."

"And there are also Sage Yun Shu and Sage Qi Jianchun..."

Chu Yun'er noticed that Ming Yuexin's attitude towards others was noticeably arrogant and dismissive.

After she finished refining a batch of elixirs, she got up and introduced the peak-level saints present to Mingyue Xin.

"Sword Saint as Frost, Sword Saint as Snow."

Mingyue Xin nodded in acknowledgment. When she looked at the two of them, she gave off an air of arrogance: "So it's you two sisters. The number one and number two sword cultivation geniuses back then, neither of you have been able to reach the Immortal King realm?"

These words immediately made the surrounding cultivators feel somewhat strange.

Could it be that Mingyue Xin and Liu Rushuang have a grudge?

"Hehe, aren't you the same?"

Liu Ruxue didn't hold back and immediately countered with a question: "Even the number one genius of the Alchemy Association back then didn't become a Celestial King."

Mingyue Xin and Liu Ruxue's gazes collided in mid-air, as if sparks were flying.

"Bright Moon Heart?"

Just then, Liu Rushuang stopped cultivating. She had already noticed the situation around her, so she said in a seemingly indifferent manner, "The girl who secretly plotted against my sister and me back then, trying to steal the opportunity, and who was beaten up by my sister and me in turns?"

Liu Rushuang looked at Liu Ruxue: "Sister, we must have encountered her at least ten times in different forbidden areas."

“After we beat her up, she would bow respectfully to us every time she met us, and she didn’t dare to compete with us for opportunities.”

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

Obviously, no one would have guessed that the Liu sisters, Liu Rushuang and Liu Ruxue, had such a past with Mingyue Xin.

"Hey, little sister, do you remember her?"

"Actually, I've almost forgotten, but there was such a person who knelt on the ground and begged us not to tell anyone what she had done."

"Now that she's become a cultivator at the peak of the Saint realm, she's certainly got some nerve, huh?"

Liu Ruxue has a knack for being sarcastic and unpredictable.

She completely disregarded the unpleasant expressions on the faces of the alchemists.

Because what happened back then was not something the two sisters intentionally did to hit someone.

Instead, it was Mingyue Xin who plotted against the two sisters, attempting to steal their opportunity.

However, at that time, Mingyue Xin did not know that the two sisters' strength was so terrifying.

"you!"

Mingyuexin's face was filled with anger. The old scars were reopened, making it impossible for her to hide her anger and hatred.

Over the years, she has never forgotten that time.

Now that her cultivation level has improved, she has become Ouyang Xiu's protector, has an excellent relationship with Ouyang Xiu's father, and is the branch president of the Alchemist Association stationed in the western part of the Central Region.

Therefore, she originally intended to mock the two sisters.

Who would have thought that they would be ridiculed by the two sisters instead?

"You once tried to sabotage my wife and steal her opportunities?"

Qin Tianlong stepped forward. He didn't hear anything else, only that Mingyue Xin was trying to assassinate his wife.

This made his face immediately darken.

A terrifying pressure descended upon Mingyue Xin.

Mingyue's expression changed drastically. She felt her body trembling and her soul pounding, as if the shadow of death was looming over her.

"You're not allowed to bully my Xinxin, Auntie!"

Suddenly, Ouyang Xiu, with his short legs, stood in front of Mingyue Xin, glaring angrily at Liu Ruxue and Liu Rushuang.

These changes instantly altered the atmosphere present.

Mingyue Xin's eyes lit up, and the oppressive aura she had just endured vanished instantly.

With Ouyang Xiu's protection, she believed she would not be harmed in any way.

"Little guy, get out of my way."

Qin Tianlong would never lay a hand on a child.

However, Ouyang Xiu showed no intention of stepping aside: "Aunt Mingyuexin is a good person. She has always protected my safety, accompanied me in my cultivation, and played with me. You must not hurt her!"

"If you hurt her, I'll have my father beat you to death!"

These words immediately stunned Chu Yun'er and the others.

"shut up!"

Chu Yun'er quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Ouyang Xiu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Even if your father came, he wouldn't say such nonsense!"
