"So arrogant and audacious, crippling the eldest son of the Lu family in one fell swoop! We don't know who that person is. The Lu family is currently offering a reward for his capture. The Lu family head said that anyone who can provide clues about this person will be rewarded with eight million high-grade spirit stones. If this person can be killed, in addition to four eighth-grade breakthrough pills, he will also be given three sub-immortal artifacts!" A one-eyed middle-aged male cultivator shouted.

A commotion immediately erupted among the crowd, and some were tempted. However, upon reflection, they realized the opponent was an old monster in the Void Refinement stage, and immediately backed down.

The news that Lu Yunli had been crippled reached the Glazed Tile School.

"Has Lu Yunli really become a cripple?" Song Yan's younger brother, Song Ran, asked.

Ye Chong, an inner disciple who had returned with the news, said, "It should be true. It is said that even the two patriarchs of the Lu family said that the eldest son of the Lu family can no longer cultivate."

Song Ran smiled and looked at her older sister Song Yan beside her, saying happily, "Now, sister doesn't have to marry him. The Lu family would be too embarrassed to send a useless person to marry sister, right? Father, Mother, when are we going to annul the engagement?"

Song Ran had long disliked Lu Yunli. He didn't care about her sister at all, only caring about Lu Xuening. Heaven knows what kind of relationship the two of them really had. Besides, Lu Yunli was always arrogant and looked down on people, which was annoying.

Madam Song said, "It's certainly not appropriate to go now. Let's wait a few years!"

The sect leader of the Glazed Tile School shared the same thought as his wife: going there now would be too much of an insult to someone who was already down.

"Who exactly was it that crippled Lu Yunli?" Song Ran asked curiously.

Song Yan was also very curious, as she had liked Lu Yunli before.

After all, Lu Yunli was handsome, talented, and strong, and they came from similar families. They were also engaged, so Song Yan still had some girlish feelings for him. However, he never cared about her feelings and treated her indifferently, which is why Song Yan gradually started to hate her fiancé, Lu Yunli.

"I heard he's a Void Refinement stage expert disguised as a Nascent Soul stage cultivator in the early stages, dressed in white and wearing a mask. He also has a set of magic weapons, consisting of 365 golden flying swords, each of which is a high-grade spiritual weapon," Ye Chong said.

Song Yan was immediately moved. Senior Jin? The person wearing a mask and white clothes might be someone else, but with 365 high-grade spiritual weapon flying swords, it must be Senior Jin without a doubt.

Why did Senior Jin cripple Lu Yunli? Did he have a grudge against the Lu family?

Recalling how he had saved her twice in the secret realm, a blush rose on Song Yan's pretty face, and her heart pounded wildly.

"Why does this description sound so much like the Senior Jin who saved you in the secret realm, the one my sister mentioned before?" Song Ran looked at Song Yan.

Song Yan said softly, "It seems to be him."

"The Lu family is offering a hefty reward for his life, including a second-grade immortal artifact and an eighth-grade pill," Ye Chong said.

Four Grade 8 Breakthrough Pills plus three Lesser Immortal Artifacts would be enough to tempt any major sect. Ye Chong thought to himself that if he were in the Void Refinement stage, he might even want to kill that person. Of course, he didn't have the strength, but his master and mistress might be interested.

Madam Song glanced at her daughter and said, "Since that Senior Jin has been kind to Yan'er, then our Lu family will not get involved in this mess."

Upon hearing this, Song Yan looked at her mother with gratitude in her eyes. She thought to herself, if Senior Jin were in trouble, she would definitely help him.

"What did you say? Big brother really has no hope of recovery?"

Lu Xuening gripped the maid's arms tightly with both hands, her nails digging into the maid's skin until they bled. The maid looked pained but dared not break free.

"Yes, yes," the maid said fearfully.

Because she was under house arrest, Lu Xuening only learned about Lu Yunli's situation now.

Lu Xuening released the maid, staggered a few steps, and then burst into tears. The maid comforted her, "Eighth Miss, please...please don't cry..."

The maids thought she was feeling sorry for Lu Yunli, but Lu Xuening was actually feeling sorry for herself. If Lu Yunli became a cripple, it meant she would lose another powerful backer in the Lu family. What could she do?

Her father had abandoned her, her third brother had also abandoned her, and her fourth and fifth brothers no longer listened to her. Now, only her mother, her second brother, and her sixth brother remained.

My older brother is already a cripple, so what's the use if his feelings for her don't change?

She only had her mother, second brother, and sixth brother left. What if, what if one day they stopped loving her too? The more Lu Xuening thought about it, the more frightened she became.

As she was crying, Xu Lianxin arrived.

Xu Lianxin came with Lu Yunchuan and Lu Yunlin.

Upon seeing Xu Lianxin, Lu Yunchuan, and Lu Yunlin arrive, Lu Xuening's maidservant hurriedly bowed.

Lu Xuening raised her head, her eyes red from crying and swollen like peaches, which broke Lu Yunchuan and Lu Yunlin's hearts.

As soon as Lu Xuening saw Xu Lianxin, she looked at her with teary eyes and asked, "Mother, Mother, is my eldest brother really beyond saving?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lianxin looked at the maids with a cold gaze: "Who gave you permission to tell Xiao Ba?"

The moment the maids met her gaze, they all shivered and immediately knelt down.

Lu Xuening cried and said, "Mother, please don't blame them. Could you really keep this from me forever? Big brother, big brother, is he... is he really not going to get better?"

Lu Xuening grabbed Xu Lianxin's hand, sobbing uncontrollably.

Thinking of her eldest son, Xu Lianxin was filled with grief and helplessness. She reached out and hugged Lu Xuening, tears welling in her eyes: "Your eldest brother has had such a hard life..."

"Mother, Mother, why don't we ask Seventh Sister? She must have a way. Look, last time so many people couldn't cure Nangong Qi, but Seventh Sister saved him. Seventh Sister also has a powerful expert in the Integration Stage behind her, she must have a way. Mother, I'll go ask her, I'll go ask Seventh Sister, I'll go ask her to save Big Brother." Lu Xuening stopped crying and said excitedly.

Hearing this, Xu Lianxin thought of A Yao. Yes, perhaps Xiao Qi really did have a solution. But, given her relationship with Yun Li, would she help?

Lu Xiuwen had already considered A Yao's intentions, but he remained silent because he knew A Yao wouldn't save Lu Yunli. He was even afraid that A Yao would feign saving Lu Yunli while secretly plotting to kill him.

But Xu Lianxin couldn't care less about that now. She stood up and said, "Yes, your seventh sister, maybe she really has a way! I'll go find her. Yun Li is her older brother no matter what!"

"Second brother, sixth brother, you two come with me to Purple Peak!"

"Yes, Mother!"

Xu Lianxin left with Lu Yunchuan and Lu Yunlin.

After they left, Lu Xuening revealed her ruthlessness. If Lu Xueyao could save her older brother, it would be her achievement. If her older brother could recover, it would always be beneficial to her. If Lu Xueyao did not save him or could not save him, it would be Lu Xueyao's fault.
