"Xiaoyue, be careful, don't be reckless."

"If you can't beat them, I'll take your place," Li Changfeng whispered from behind.

"Don't worry, winning over a young girl is a piece of cake," Du Xiaoyue said confidently.

Her martial arts skills are quite good, otherwise why would she have been invited to participate in the treasure hunt?

The imperial guards personally select the best specimens, ensuring their quality.

It's not just a small piece of trash.

"Hmm!" Li Changfeng said nothing more and took a few steps back.

"Little girl, come on, let me see what you're made of." Du Xiaoyue beckoned with her finger.

The young woman rushed forward, and the two began to fight.

The silly young man sat on the ground, watching while in pain, clenching his fists and muttering encouragement.

Instead of rushing home or to the hospital after being injured like that, he insisted on watching the fight.

Is this guy missing a screw in his head?

Blood was still gushing from his leg, and the burns on his face were even more severe than before, making him look like Guan Yu with a red face.

Guan Yu is majestic and imposing, tall and powerful, but this guy has his face covered in burns, a real mess.

This shows that this guy has a very strong temper and is quite stubborn. He will not be satisfied until he sees Li Changfeng and the other person get the appropriate punishment.

Ignoring his own injuries.

However, the result greatly disappointed him. He coughed repeatedly, his chest heaving with anger, as if a stone was blocking his breathing.

"Sister, get up, get up!" the young man urged, pounding his fist on the ground.

He didn't care about his sister's injuries at all; he only thought about getting up and fighting again.

The young woman was no match for Du Xiaoyue. After less than twenty moves, she was knocked down by a kick to the abdomen.

"Little brother, help me up, let's go."

"Sister, are we just going to let this go? No way! You can do it, you have to believe in yourself, I can definitely pin them both to the ground and pull their teeth out one by one!" the young man roared frantically.

“I said I was leaving,” the young woman repeated.

"I'm not leaving."

"Slap!" The young woman turned around and slapped her brother across the face, the blow landing squarely.

It was very loud.

The young man paused for a moment, then obediently helped his sister up and walked away.

Speechless!

Utterly speechless!

Is this the legendary donkey that won't go if you follow it, but will go if you push it?

Is he just asking for a beating?

They won't listen when I talk to them nicely; they only behave when I slap them across the face.

That's how "slut" comes about.

"Are you alright?" Li Changfeng asked as he stepped forward.

"It's alright, didn't you see that she's no match for me?"

"Impressive, Xiaoyue's martial arts skills are quite good," Li Changfeng commented.

"Come on, I'm nowhere near as good as you," Du Xiaoyue said modestly.

"You are Miss Lin's junior brother. Judging from this identity alone, I know you are not simple."

"Furthermore, it was also your achievement to retrieve the Imperial Seal. I heard that ten members of the Heavenly Soldiers died last night, and Abbess Jing'an was seriously injured, while you were unharmed."

"Could you give me a little hint about your level of martial arts skills?" Du Xiaoyue wondered.

"I'm just average, nothing special," Li Changfeng waved his hand.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, let's leave." Du Xiaoyue glared at him, her eyes filled with a hint of flirtatious charm.

"good!"

...

"Sister, since you can't beat them either, why don't you go find Father?" The young man was still obsessed with fighting and remained incorrigible.

"Do you really think I've been taken advantage of?" the woman said calmly.

"Did you get some benefit from this? I saw it all; you got kicked down and you looked terrible."

woman:"!!!"

"Stupid as a pig!" the woman said, exasperated. "Have you forgotten what the Zhu family excels at most?"

"You speak without thinking!"

"Sister, do you mean you secretly cast a spell on the other person?"

"She's somewhat clever, but not much." The woman rolled her eyes. "I not only put a Gu curse on her, but also poison. She'll die from the poison in just two hours, and it won't end well."

"Sister, you're so clever!" The young man's eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up.

“If we were like you, our Zhu family would have been bullied to death, and we wouldn’t have the prestige and status we have now.”

"Sis, did you only give it to one person, or did you give it to both of them?"

“I didn’t have a chance to get close to that man, and he gave me a dangerous feeling.”

"I was afraid of revealing a weakness, so I didn't make a move against him."

"Then what should we do?"

"What do you mean, what should we do?" the woman asked, puzzled.

"Killing just one isn't enough; they both have to die." The young man was very vengeful, his expression filled with resentment.

"A small conflict shouldn't lead to someone's death." The woman maintained a degree of kindness.

"It's enough to teach them a lesson."

"Come over here honestly, apologize, and say some nice words, and I'll untie that woman."

"No way," the young man flatly refused. "I absolutely will not undo the cure for her; it would be better if she died."

“Look what they did to my brother. I wonder if the injuries on his face will leave scars.”

"It will take at least a month for my leg to fully recover."

"I'd be uncomfortable if even one of them died, let alone being able to remove the curse." The young man was a hundred times unwilling and a thousand times against it.

"Slap!" The woman slapped her again.

They say you should discipline your younger brother early on.

They're adults now, they should fight the same way they're supposed to.

They lost all face.

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things, so shut your mouth," the woman snapped.

"Sis, I'm already like this and you still hit me."
