Xu Fengzhi looked at his guards, and they all stepped forward. The guards raised their hands, and boxes appeared in their palms as a surge of spiritual light appeared. These boxes opened automatically one by one.
The first box contained a thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Mushroom, which exuded pure fire-attribute spiritual energy. The moment it was opened, a dazzling red glow illuminated the surroundings. Even Lu Xuening, who had seen many treasures, showed surprise at the quality of the Fire Spirit Mushroom.
This thousand-year-old fire spirit mushroom must be at least eight thousand years old. Although she wasn't without such a thing, the thought of giving such a precious item to Lu Xueyao made her heart ache.
The second guard opened the box, revealing a necklace inside. The necklace was exquisitely crafted, adorned with rare Ice Soul Stones. Ice Soul Stones possess the power to strengthen divine consciousness, resist soul attacks, and nourish remnant souls. The larger the stone, the more precious it is; this Ice Soul Stone was larger than a pigeon's egg, its value in no way inferior to the thousand-year-old Fire Spirit Mushroom.
The third guard opened the box, inside were two bottles of Rank 6 pills...
All the boxes contained valuable items, treasures even to the Lu family. Therefore, Lu Xuening was seething with anger, her teeth clenched.
"Please accept these things, Miss Seven. They are just a small token of my appreciation," Xu Fengzhi said.
Ayao saved Xu Fengzhi to repay a debt from a past life. She left after saving him without expecting anything in return, and never even thought of letting him know who she was. Yet this guy knew it was her and still came looking for her. Since he'd already said that, Ayao wouldn't hold back:
"Then I'll accept it."
His pose was so perfect that Ayao felt she'd be doing herself a disservice if she didn't take advantage of him. It wasn't that she wanted to take advantage of him; it was that he deliberately offered himself up for her to do so.
After saying that, Ayao put all the boxes into her storage bag.
Seeing this, Lu Xuening bit her lip, feeling resentful and as if her things had been taken away by A Yao.
Xu Fengzhi was very happy to see that A Yao had accepted his gift.
Lu Yunshen frowned when he saw Xu Fengzhi looking so infatuated with his seventh sister.
“It’s rare for Nephew Xu to visit our Lu family, why don’t you stay for a few days and let us show you some hospitality?” Xu Lianxin said with a smile.
Xu Fengzhi was overjoyed to hear this. He glanced at A Yao and bowed to Xu Lianxin, saying, "Then, I will trouble you."
Xu Lianxin smiled and said, "It's just like being at home. Third brother, please arrange accommodation for nephew Xu."
After Lu Yunshen responded, he said to Xu Fengzhi:
"Young Master Xu, this way please!"
Xu Fengzhi glanced at A Yao one last time before reluctantly leaving.
After Xu Fengzhi and his group left with Lu Yunshen, Lu Yunlin immediately jumped out and said to A Yao, "You really didn't cultivate any evil arts? I don't believe it, I don't believe you cultivated so quickly."
Ayao said, "Whether Sixth Brother believes it or not is none of my business."
Lu Yunlin's gaze was so murderous after being rebuked by A Yao.
In her past life, among A Yao's six brothers, Lu Yunlin, the sixth brother, disliked her the most. The way he looked at her was never the way he would look at his own sister. If her second brother, Lu Yunchuan, ignored her, Lu Yunlin made her feel as if her very existence, even breathing, was wrong.
Ayao no longer cared why he treated her this way.
She looked at Lu Yunqi, who was on the verge of exploding with rage, and said sneer, "Does Sixth Brother think I can't do what he can't do?"
"you--"
Lu Yunlin was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and what A Yao said sounded like she was implying he had poor aptitude. Lu Yunlin wasn't a good-tempered person to begin with, and he was immediately provoked like a firecracker. In a fit of anger, he struck A Yao with a palm.
A chilling aura surged from his palm, and an icy blue light flickered within.
Xuan Shuang Palm, it's always a full-force attack from the very first strike.
"Sixth Brother—"
Lu Yunxing cried out in alarm, while Lu Yunqi looked astonished.
Ayao dodged a palm strike to the side, and then she struck out with her own palm.
A Yao's palm strike was faster than Lu Yunlin's. Using the same Xuan Shuang Palm Technique, she struck Lu Yunlin's chest, causing him to stagger back several steps. He was shocked, his clothes were covered in frost, and his face was deathly pale.
Ah Yao has already held back.
"Sixth Brother—"
Lu Xuening helped Lu Yunlin, whose face was extremely pale, and asked with concern, "Sixth Brother, are you alright?" Lu Yunlin shook his head, his gaze towards Lu Xuening was incredibly gentle, but when he looked at A Yao again, it was as if he wanted to tear A Yao to pieces.
"Seventh Sister, how could you hurt Sixth Brother?" Lu Xuening looked at A Yao, her eyes reddening, and she burst into tears. Lu Yunlin was deeply moved; her tearful appearance made everyone around her feel incredibly sorry for her.
Ayao said innocently, "Didn't he strike first?"
Lu Yunqi stepped out and said loudly, "Then does that give you the right to hurt people? He's your own brother."
Ayao said sarcastically, "I'm afraid in his eyes, I'm not his real sister. I held back, otherwise, that slap would have seriously injured Sixth Brother and made him cough up blood. Sixth Brother didn't hold back when he hit me, you know~"
Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunqi could both see that Lu Yunlin hadn't held back, and they were at a loss for words to refute Ayao. After thinking for a long time, Lu Yunqi finally found an excuse for his sixth brother: "That's because you're stronger than him."
Ayao said, "So it's still my fault, okay, I was wrong. I didn't know that Sixth Brother was so weak. He could be hurt by me with just a casual fight. I was wrong."
"you……"
Lu Yunlin was so angry at these sarcastic remarks that he almost vomited blood.
Seeing him angrily trying to come over and fight A-Yao again, Xu Lianxin said, "Insolence!"
As soon as the aura of the Void Refinement stage cultivator was released, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence.
Lu Xuening, Lu Yunqi, and the others all stood obediently in place.
Xu Lianxin looked at her children and said coldly, "You dare to lay a hand on your mother? Do you even respect me as your mother?"
Xu Lianxin instantly appeared in front of A Yao. Looking at A Yao's face, which resembled her own, she reached out and grabbed A Yao's hand. Her spiritual energy surged into A Yao's body as she examined her.
Actually, she had already used her divine sense to examine A Yao inside and out before, and when Lu Xuening mentioned that evil technique, she scanned A Yao countless times with her divine sense. A Yao's foundation was not damaged, nor was there any sign of possession. However, A Yao's changes were too great, and even after confirming with her divine sense, she was still not at ease, so she was now making a close-up contact to confirm again.
Xu Lianxin checked repeatedly but found no problems.
There were no signs of possession, and his foundation remained intact. In three years, he progressed from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the late-Golden Core stage...
Although such a cultivation speed was indeed terrifying, it was normal for Xu Lianxin's child to have extraordinary talent. Looking at A Yao, she found A Yao pleasing to the eye for the first time.
Xu Lianxin gazed at A Yao and thought to herself, "That's right. No matter what, she was born of me and has my and my husband's bloodline. How could she really be a vulgar and uncouth person?"
