The voice, as sharp as a venomous snake, made Lu Fuyue look up sharply. When she saw who it was, her expression changed slightly.
Lu Zhengxuan, what's he doing here? Isn't he afraid of being discovered?
But the next second, she suddenly thought of something and turned around sharply to look at Lu Zhengming.
Lu Zhengming was not surprised that his long-lost younger brother had suddenly appeared here.
It seems that he is here because of Lu Zhengming's help.
"Fuyue, come and greet your second uncle." Lu Zhengming put his hands behind his back, his gaze falling on the woman dressed in white, and slowly spoke.
Lu Fuyue snapped out of her daze, lowered her eyes, glanced indifferently at the two people in the hall, then turned and walked past Lu Zhengxuan out. "I don't remember having a second uncle."
An extremely indifferent voice suddenly rang out in the empty hall, causing Lu Zhengming's face to darken completely.
It would be one thing if it were just a normal day, but she didn't give him any face in front of others at all. It seems she's really spoiled!
Lu Zhengming was furious. He raised his hand and unleashed a terrifying burst of spiritual energy towards the door. "Insolence! Lu Fuyue, is this your upbringing?"
"Disrespectful to elders!"
Lu Fuyue paused, noticing the movement behind her. Her eyes turned cold, and she raised her hand to summon the Weak Water Zither, pressing her fingers sharply onto the strings.
The moment the zither music began, the palm strike that was originally heading towards her suddenly changed direction, reversing its trajectory and heading towards Lu Zhengming. Furthermore, with the enhancement of the zither music, the palm strike was also mixed with countless sharp ice blades.
Instantly, a sharp palm strike ripped up the gauze curtains and candlesticks throughout the hall, leaving everything in a state of chaos.
Lu Zhengming's expression suddenly changed drastically, and a chill inexplicably rose in his eyes. His body swayed backward uncontrollably. How could this be?
Even if Lu Fuyue is highly talented, she has only just reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
He has been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for hundreds of years. Whether it is the depth of his spiritual energy or his practical experience, he is one of the best in the entire cultivation world. How could he be inferior to someone who has been cultivating for less than a hundred years?
Just as the palm strike was about to reach him, Lu Zhengming decisively and quickly formed hand seals, creating a protective shield around himself.
However, in no time, countless tiny cracks appeared on the spiritual energy shield in front of him. With a crack, it split open from the middle outwards and eventually dissipated into spiritual energy in the air.
Lu Zhengming's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes reflecting the thousands of ice blades rushing towards him and the sharp palm wind, but his body seemed to be frozen, unable to move.
In desperation, he no longer cared about saving face and shouted, "Lu Fuyue, do you want to kill your father?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Fuyue paused in her zither playing, and instantly all the attacks in the air vanished.
She glanced indifferently at the man standing beside her, then put away her zither. "Only death is considered patricide. You're fine, aren't you?"
"you……"
Before Lu Zhengming could speak, Lu Fuyue suddenly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, you said he's my second uncle, so why didn't he come to your rescue in your time of need?"
The crisis was over, and Lu Zhengming had just breathed a sigh of relief, but he was stunned by what he was told the next second.
He subconsciously looked at his younger brother, only to see that he had been standing there from the beginning, quietly taking in everything that had just happened, but he didn't seem to want to help him at all.
My heart grew colder and colder.
Back then, it was he who saved him from his master's hands, thus sparing Lu Zhengxuan from death.
Lu Zhengxuan noticed his older brother's gaze, his right hand unconsciously touching the large sword at his waist. He looked up and stared straight at Lu Fuyue, but spoke to Lu Zhengming, "Big brother, have you forgotten? I was injured before and can't use my spiritual power now."
"Besides, Fuyue is your own daughter. How could she possibly kill you? She was just joking with you."
"If someone really wanted to kill you, how could I possibly remain indifferent?"
Lu Zhengming narrowed his eyes, looked at him suspiciously, and then coldly transmitted his voice into his ear: "Hmph, I don't care what you were thinking just now, but you'd better behave yourself and not cause trouble. Otherwise, if others find out that you are here, I will definitely be the first to kill your own relative for the sake of the future of Tianxuan Sect."
Lu Zhengxuan's gaze paused almost imperceptibly, but he quickly regained his composure and said with a smile, "Of course."
Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened slightly. Her gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment before she looked away and turned to leave.
At this moment, Lu Zhengming didn't care whether she left or not.
...
“Brother, don’t you think your daughter and sister-in-law have quite similar personalities?” Lu Zhengxuan walked to Lu Zhengming’s side and looked up at the white figure that had disappeared from sight.
However, Lu Zhengming did not respond to him. Instead, he glanced coldly at the person beside him and said, "I have done what I promised you. Now it's your turn."
Lu Zhengxuan's eyes grew even deeper. He put his hand on Lu Zhengming's shoulder and said casually, "Don't worry, big brother, we're brothers. How could I lie to you?"
Lu Zhengming snorted coldly, "Even tigers don't eat their cubs. You were capable of doing something like that back then. Maybe in your eyes, I am just like them. If your interests are ever threatened, you will abandon me without hesitation."
"How could that be? Although I, Lu Zhengxuan, have killed my wife and children, I would never kill my own brother who shares the same mother."
"However, your daughter shows you absolutely no affection. Do you want me to help you get rid of her?"
"Lu Zhengxuan, are you crazy? That's my own daughter, and also your own niece. I advise you not to touch her, or don't blame me for turning my back on you without mercy."
"But didn't you just want to kill her too? Wouldn't it be perfect for you if I helped you?"
"Lu Zhengxuan, I'm warning you again, don't even think about messing with the Tianxuan Sect, especially those two sisters!"
“No matter what I, Lu Zhengming, am like you, I am not as heartless and ruthless as you.”
Lu Zhengxuan smiled enigmatically, "I understand."
But in reality, only he knows what he's really thinking.
After leaving the main hall, Lu Fuyue returned to the Alchemy Peak. Her cultivation speed was too fast, and slowing down and resting for a few days would actually be good for her mental state.
Therefore, in recent days, she has been playing the zither deep in her peach blossom forest, and using the abundant spiritual fruits in her space to brew some spiritual wine, and occasionally giving Jiang Li some pointers on her cultivation.
Although she was wary of Lu Zhengxuan's appearance, she was not afraid given her current cultivation level.
