Lou Munan heard Xiaoyue's voice in his mind:

"Uncle, Uncle, I will definitely become more amazing than you in the future."

"Uh-huh."

"I want to become the most powerful Immortal Emperor in all the heavens and myriad realms."

"Hmm, and then?" he asked.

Xiaoyue said with a smile, "Then I can protect you."

Thinking of Xiaoyue, Lou Munan gazed tenderly at the boy in front of him, patted the boy's head, and smiled, "Okay, I'll wait for that day."

Feng Chu stared blankly into Lou Munan's amber eyes. The hand on his head reminded him of his father. When he was very young, his father had touched his head like that. Back then, his father still loved him, unlike later when he was beaten and scolded every day and called him a bastard.

Lou Munan removed his hand and asked, "Who injured you before?"

With Feng Chu's strength, those four Nascent Soul stage cultivators shouldn't have been his match at all. He would have been chased around by them. Before he came to the Jianan Grand Gathering, he had fought with an old monster in the Void Refinement stage and was seriously injured.

"Why are you asking this?" Feng Chu asked.

"If we run into each other, I'll take care of them for you," Lou Munan said casually.

Feng Chuyi was momentarily touched, but he said, "I don't need you, I will take my own revenge."

Lou Munan remained silent upon hearing this.

They stood there for a while, then Feng Chu said, "I'm leaving!"

He lowered his head, then turned and flew into the sky. After flying a hundred feet away, the white-robed, golden-eyed youth turned back and saw the figure on the snow-capped mountain below still watching him.

With his Nascent Soul stage vision, he could see Lou Munan standing in place clearly.

On the vast snow-capped mountain, the man's long black hair and black robes fluttered in the cold wind. His black figure appeared particularly lonely and desolate in this white world, as if he were surrounded by trillions of years of loneliness and solitude.

The boy's heart clenched suddenly as he thought of all the moments they had shared over the past few days. For a fleeting instant, he wanted to return to that figure's side, but in the end, he flew away, soaring through the air without looking back.

Watching Feng Chu's figure fly further and further away, Lou Munan, atop the snow-capped mountain, sighed. Then, the gentle expression on his face vanished, along with the overwhelming loneliness. He turned and cast his gaze in another direction, a look of gritted teeth appearing on his face.

Then, he disappeared on the spot.

Lu Family, Kunshan.

Lu Xuening arrived at Crimson Serpent Peak, accompanied by Lu Yunchuan and Lu Yunlin. After regaining consciousness, Lu Yunli learned that he had become a cripple and had been abandoned by his father and ancestor. Unable to accept this, he completely collapsed.

He now spends his days either drinking heavily or smashing things, which is very distressing for Xu Lianxin. At this moment, she thought of Lu Xuening and thought: Yun Li listens to Xiao Ba the most, so why not let Xiao Ba comfort him? We can also take this opportunity to lift Xiao Ba's confinement.

After she told Lu Xiuwen, he agreed. He then directly ordered Lu Xuening to stay at Chilian Peak to accompany her self-destructive eldest son.

Lu Xuening was struck dumb by the news. In her eyes, Lu Yunli was already a useless piece of trash, worthless trash. Why should she be asked to accompany him? But then she thought that she only had her mother, second brother, and sixth brother as her support. If comforting Lu Yunli for a few days could change her father's attitude, it would be worth it.

But she regretted it when she arrived at Crimson Serpent Peak.

Crack!

Lu Xuening, Lu Yunchuan, and Lu Yunlin were standing outside a palace when a wine jug was thrown out and broke right at Lu Xuening's feet, startling her.

"Get out, all of you get out—"

A roar came from inside, followed by several pale-faced maids emerging from within.

Lu Yunchuan and Lu Yunlin were already used to this. Lu Xuening's expression changed, but she had to go in now. Lu Yunlin took her hand, and Lu Yunchuan walked ahead, stepping into the main hall.

The main hall was littered with things scattered on the floor, with empty wine bottles, empty wine jars and broken cups everywhere, and the stench of alcohol was unbearable.

Lu Yunli's long hair was disheveled and loose, his clothes were draped over his shoulders, his beard was unkempt, and his eyes were bloodshot. He had completely lost the prestige and pride of the young master of the Lu family in Kunshan. He looked like a madman, a disheveled madman.

Lu Yunchuan and Lu Yunlin felt extremely distressed seeing Lu Yunli's dejected appearance. Lu Xuening's eyes widened; she could hardly believe that the person before her was her former older brother. This beggar with disheveled hair, stubble, a sallow complexion, and a foul odor was her older brother?

Oh my god!

She wanted to get out, to leave this place immediately.

She was internally screaming that she wanted to leave.

"Big brother," Lu Yunchuan called out.

"roll--"

Lu Yunli roared at Lu Yunchuan and threw a wine jar at him. The jar hovered in mid-air before slowly falling back down.

Seeing his elder brother, whom he had always looked up to, in this state, Lu Yunchuan felt very sad. He said softly, "Brother, don't be like this. Look who's here. It's Xiao Ba. Xiao Ba has come to see you."

Upon hearing "Xiao Ba," Lu Yunli's lifeless eyes finally lit up. He looked towards Lu Yunchuan's side, and when he saw Lu Xuening, his gaze softened. He said in a trembling voice, "Xiao Ba..."

Lu Xuening steeled herself and took a few steps forward, calling out in her usual sweet voice, "Big brother..."
