As soon as they arrived, they encountered Bai Ruanruan carrying a food box coming out of there.
Bai Ruanruan's eyes lit up when she saw Lu Fuyue. "Sister, did you come to see Father?"
Lu Fuyue paused, "I told you, don't call me sister."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Bai Ruanruan's eyes. "Ruanruan understands."
Then she forced a smile and said, "Sister... no, senior sister, I'll be going now."
Lu Fuyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she called out to her, "This matter today is also related to you. Let's go in together."
Bai Ruanruan was slightly taken aback. "Does this have anything to do with me?"
Lu Fuyue glanced at her indifferently, said nothing more, and walked straight into the room.
Bai Ruanruan followed obediently behind her, occasionally stealing glances at Lu Fuyue's back.
She couldn't understand why her sister hated her so much. She was her own sister, even if she was just the child of her father and another woman, it wasn't her fault.
Why is my sister taking her anger out on her?
She was really puzzled.
Upon entering the room, Lu Fuyue immediately spotted Lu Zhengming playing chess. He was studying the chessboard with his head down, holding a black piece in his left hand and a white piece in his right, his eyes filled with confusion, completely unaware of her arrival.
Lu Fuyue walked up, glanced at the chessboard indifferently, then picked up a black piece from the side and placed it in front of Lu Zhengming. Instantly, the chessboard changed, the black piece was revived from a dead state, and even gained the initiative.
Lu Zhengming stared blankly at this scene. It was over. The chess game he had been thinking about for so long was solved by a little girl.
Just as he was about to study it carefully, Lu Fuyue raised his hand and waved it, and all the chess pieces scattered on the ground in a chaotic mess.
Lu Zhengming suddenly stood up, pointing angrily at Lu Fuyue, "What are you doing?"
Aside from studying chess games, he doesn't have many other hobbies. What's with this whole commotion today?
Lu Fuyue lowered her eyes to conceal her emotions, then looked at Bai Ruanruan behind her and said coldly,
"The sect leader has arranged for Bai Ruanruan to stay in my cave for so long, resulting in the disappearance of several treasures that my mother specially found for me. I wonder how this should be accounted for?"
Bai Ruanruan's face paled upon hearing this. "I'm sorry, sister..."
Lu Fuyue gave her a cold look, and Bai Ruanruan's tone immediately paused. She had forgotten that her sister didn't like her calling her "sister."
So Bai Ruanruan carefully considered her words again, lowered her head and whispered, "I'm sorry, senior sister, I... I thought those were all trash..."
Lu Zhengming was taken aback. "Ruan Ruan, you really threw those things away?"
Bai Ruanruan was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Lu Zhengming was about to scold her, but he softened at Bai Ruanruan's big, watery eyes.
"Father, I'm sorry, Ruan Ruan has caused you trouble."
Lu Zhengming sighed and looked helplessly at Lu Fuyue. It seemed that she wouldn't let it go until he gave her an explanation.
He naturally knew a thing or two about the things that Fu Yue's mother had prepared for her, and some of them were things that even he would have a hard time getting.
Hopefully, what Ruan Ruan lost wasn't one of those things.
"Ruan Ruan was indeed wrong in this matter, but you are the older sister, so you shouldn't hold it against her."
Lu Fuyue sneered and, in front of Lu Zhengming, grabbed Bai Ruanruan's neck with her own.
"elder sister?"
"Ha, what kind of sister am I to her?"
"Does this mean that some bastard who appeared out of nowhere, who casually called me 'sister,' should be expected to tolerate her in every way, carefully protect her, and let her rise to power by stepping on my flesh and blood?"
Lu Zhengming's expression changed drastically, but he dared not make a move. "Lu Fuyue, are you crazy? Let go of Ruan Ruan right now!"
Bai Ruanruan's eyes widened, her face flushed, and she gasped for breath, forcefully slapping Lu Fuyue's hands.
"Sister...sister, no, I...I didn't mean to..."
Lu Fuyue ignored her and looked directly at Lu Zhengming, "Sect Master, do you still expect me to sacrifice my own interests and give way to your illegitimate daughter?"
As she spoke, she gradually increased the pressure on her hands, making Bai Ruanruan look like a live fish being scorched by the blazing sun, as if she would die at any moment.
Although Lu Zhengming didn't show it on his face, he was extremely shocked. When did his sickly daughter become so powerful? She actually managed to grab Ruan Ruan's neck in an instant when he, a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, wasn't paying attention.
Without any hesitation, the movements were remarkably swift.
Seeing that Bai Ruanruan was on the verge of death, he hurriedly said, "No, Fuyue, you can ask for whatever you want. It's all your father's fault. I shouldn't have given your cave to Ruanruan. I shouldn't have let Ruanruan touch your things."
"If you release Ruan Ruan, Daddy will compensate you for those things on Ruan Ruan's behalf, okay?"
Lu Fuyue glanced down at the person she had almost strangled to death, and said slowly, "I'm afraid the Sect Master is lying to me. Why don't you use the storage ring in your hand to exchange for her with me?"
"After all, the sect leader has never kept his promise."
When she was a child, her mother died. She still had hope for her father, Lu Zhengming, because she was told from a young age that she would not live past sixteen. So she wanted her father to accompany her in her final years.
But he promised her time and time again, only to decline again and again.
Judging by the timeline, he should have been having an affair with Bai Ruanruan's mother at that time.
Suddenly, Lu Fuyue seemed to remember something, and paused, "No, it should be said that they have never kept their promises to me."
He was always willing to grant Bai Ruanruan's requests.
Lu Zhengming froze. "...Fu Yue, you've gone a bit too far."
Lu Fuyue: "Since that's the case, then there's nothing to discuss."
After saying that, her eyes hardened, and she was about to strangle the person in her hand, but the next second Lu Zhengming finally spoke, "Okay, I promise you."
Lu Fuyue smiled and loosened her grip slightly to avoid killing the person.
Bai Ruanruan had already fainted by this time. When Lu Zhengming saw this, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. Since Ruanruan was brought to Tianxuan Sect by him, when had she ever suffered such grievances?
"If the sect leader had done this earlier, nothing would have happened. Why did you have to force me to take action?"
Lu Zhengming's face suddenly darkened, and he took off the spatial ring on his finger and threw it to Lu Fuyue. "Fuyue, if I wanted to make a move against you, with a cultivation difference of nearly two major realms, no matter how talented you are, you are no match for me."
"I'm only giving in to you today because you're my daughter and I can't bear to hurt you. But my patience is limited. I'll let it go this time, but if you dare to act so recklessly again, I won't care about our father-daughter relationship."
