"What did you say?" Luo Xiaoyu lunged at her. "You actually ordered someone to poison my mother! Do you know that could be fatal? She's your wife!"
Luo Xiaoyu looked utterly devastated. The Luo family patriarch watched silently, seemingly having made a decision, before suddenly raising his hand to strike Luo Xiaoyu and her father.
"Ah!" With a scream, the Luo family head had all his cultivation destroyed.
"Those three shall be banished from Tianwu Imperial City and never allowed to return. From today onwards, the Luo family shall be taken over by the new patriarch, Luo Xiaoyu," the Luo family patriarch said calmly.
“Very wise,” Yan Lin suddenly interjected.
Ignoring him, the Luo family patriarch looked at Luo Xiaoyu and said, "I know you are of the Luo family bloodline. The Luo family ancestors accumulated good deeds and produced a special bloodline for you. The rise and fall of the Luo family in the future depends on you."
Having said that, the Luo family patriarch ignored the three people screaming on the ground, turned around, and stepped into the air, disappearing into the depths of the Luo family compound.
Soon, the three members of the Luo family were expelled from the Tianwu Dynasty. Even after sitting in the position of family head, Luo Xiaoyu still looked incredulous.
They thought that being expelled from the Luo family was the best outcome, but they never expected to end up as the head of the family.
"Thank you, Dongfang," Luo Xiaoyu said, knowing that without Dongfang Mian, she wouldn't be who she is today.
"You always call me 'Classmate Dongfang,' there's no need to be so polite, just call me by my name," Dongfang Mian said with a smile.
"Mian'er, without you, I, Luo Xiaoyu, wouldn't be where I am today. From now on, you will be my best friend, and my life is yours," Luo Xiaoyu said earnestly.
Just as he was about to speak, Madam Luo called out from the doorway.
"mother"
"Little Fish"
The mother and daughter embraced and wept bitterly again. Dongfang Mian couldn't help but think of her deceased mother, vaguely remembering that her mother often hugged her like this when she was little.
Sensing the turmoil in Dongfang Mian's heart, Yan Lin suddenly squeezed her hand. Dongfang Mian immediately pulled her hand away like a startled rabbit. Unfortunately, this scene was witnessed by Dongfang Yuanyan, who was carefully observing the two of them.
Once again, Dongfang Yuanyan, who was always swearing, felt embarrassed after receiving a heartfelt thank you from Luo Xiaoyu and her mother, and he politely declined the thanks.
Luo Xiaoyu was worried about her mother's health, so the group decided to set off immediately for the Beast-Seeking Mountain Range.
At the entrance of the Luo family's residence, Dongfang Yuanyan pulled Dongfang Mian aside and whispered, "My dear Mian'er, what's going on between you and that boy?"
"Uncle, your eyes are about to twitch. I have nothing to do with him. We're just good friends, good brothers," Dongfang Mian said irritably as she watched Dongfang Yuanyan keep glancing at Yan Lin.
"Good friend? Why should a good friend touch your hand? Don't think your uncle doesn't know anything. No, I have to go ask him myself," Dongfang Yuanyan said, looking ready to fight.
"Uncle," Dongfang Mian said angrily, her face flushed, and she stomped her feet. "If you go there, I will never talk to you again."
Dongfang Yuanyan's foot froze in place the instant he took the step.
"My immediate priority is to help Xiaoyu find medicine to treat her mother's illness. I'll go home when I get back, and then I'll tell you in detail," Dongfang Mian said.
"Okay, then your uncle will be waiting for you at home," he said, glancing at Yan Lin one last time before leaving.
Dongfang Mian returned to the group, and Yan Lin said, "Your uncle's eyes look like he wants to eat me alive."
"Well, he's just jealous. He's jealous of your good looks, it's purely jealousy, nothing more."
