That bastard Gu Huaiyuan has long forgotten about her. That scoundrel probably despises her now. He knows she's no longer the pampered eighth young lady of the Lu family, so he despises her. Men's words can never be trusted; his promise to protect her for life was all a lie, a complete lie!
Lu Xuening was so angry that she smashed things in her room.
"Miss, Miss!"
A maid ran in from outside, and Lu Xuening suddenly threw a vase at her, which hit her at her feet. The maid turned pale with fright and immediately knelt down.
Lu Xuening angrily went over and kicked the maid, breaking two of the poor maid's bones. The maid screamed in pain, but could only endure the pain and get up, kneeling on the ground.
"What is it?" Lu Xuening asked angrily.
"The eldest son does not want to drink the medicine and needs you to come over."
Hearing this, Lu Xuening was so angry that she wanted to kill someone. She was not a servant, so why did she always have to serve Lu Yunli?
But she had no choice but to go.
After storming to Lu Yunli's room, Lu Xuening immediately changed her expression and stepped into the room. The maids inside immediately stepped aside when they saw her.
A bowl of medicine sat on the table, and Lu Yunli's face was extremely pale.
Lu Xuening waved for the maids to leave, and they immediately withdrew.
"Big brother, what's wrong? Why aren't you taking your medicine again?" Lu Xuening asked gently.
Lu Yunli sat on the bed, his face ashen: "I've been drinking this for three years, what's the use? My spiritual root still can't be repaired. No matter how much of this bitter medicine I drink, it's just self-deception."
Lu Xuening sat down next to him and said sweetly, "No, no, there must be a way. Mother and we have been thinking of a way, don't give up. Here, let me feed you!"
As she spoke, she picked up the bowl of medicine, took a spoonful, and brought it to Lu Yunli's lips. Lu Xuening loathed doing such things, but if she didn't, she would still be under house arrest. Although these three years had been painful, at least she had been released from house arrest.
It's just that this bastard Lu Yunli goes crazy whenever he can't see her, which makes it impossible for her to go anywhere.
However, her care for Lu Yunli did at least improve her reputation in the Lu family, making the Lu family members who originally disliked her now treat her much better.
But three years was enough for this kind of life; Lu Xuening had had enough.
Looking at Lu Xuening's beautiful face, his eighth sister, Lu Yunli knew that she had suffered a lot of injustices over the past three years. Looking at her face, which was much more haggard than before, he could no longer suppress the feelings hidden in his heart.
With a crash, the medicine bowl in Lu Xuening's hand was knocked over.
"Little Eight!"
Lu Yunli suddenly hugged Lu Xuening tightly.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you now?"
Lu Xuening was already used to Lu Yunli suddenly hugging her like this, but this time was different. After embracing her, Lu Yunli suddenly kissed her, capturing her lips. Lu Xuening's eyes widened, first in shock, then in anger.
She shoved Lu Yunli away abruptly, took a few steps back, and reflexively wiped her mouth. A ferocious look appeared on her face; she almost couldn't resist killing Lu Yunli, but she quickly suppressed it. To maintain her usual image, she immediately feigned fear, shock, and terror: "Big brother, what...what are you doing?"
"Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba, I want you!" Lu Yunli stood up and walked towards her, his eyes filled with desire.
Lu Xuening immediately backed away: "Big brother, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm your sister!"
"We...we're not blood siblings. I...I only have you now. Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba, didn't you say you loved your big brother the most? We're not blood siblings, so why can't we be together? Could it be...could it be that you look down on me?"
Lu Yunli showed a pained expression. He knew before that his feelings for her were more than just brotherly and sisterly. Before, he was the young master of the Lu family, and he couldn't do anything that would damage the Lu family's reputation. But now, he was already a laughing stock. What reputation did he care about?
Lu Xuening thought to herself: You good-for-nothing, how dare you have such filthy thoughts about me? Do you even deserve it?
"Big brother, I have a fiancé. I am devoted to Brother Huaiyuan. Big brother, please don't talk nonsense." Lu Xuening made a scared expression and kept backing away.
"How many times has Gu Huaiyuan come to see you all these years? He's long forgotten you. Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba, he won't want you anymore. Xiao Ba, will you stay with me?"
Seeing Lu Yunli rushing towards her, Lu Xuening suddenly waved her hand, and a burst of energy struck Lu Yunli's knee. Lu Yunli felt a pain in his knee and fell to the ground.
Lu Xuening feigned panic: "Big brother, you must be drunk today, I... I'll be going now!"
She ran away immediately.
"Hachi, Hachi—"
Lu Xuening returned to her room and started smashing things again.
That good-for-nothing Lu Yunli actually dared to covet her? How shameless! She was furious, yet also terrified. Although her father had abandoned him, he still felt guilty towards him. What if he went to her father and asked for her, and her father actually agreed?
Thinking of this, Lu Xuening panicked to the extreme.
No, no, she absolutely refuses to marry a useless man who can't cultivate.
She absolutely had to get Gu Huaiyuan to see her, and then find a way to make it a fait accompli with him. Even though her father had already abandoned her, she was still the eighth young lady of the Lu family.
At that time, even for the sake of the Lu family's reputation, her father and the entire Lu family would not let Gu Huaiyuan off the hook; he would have to marry her.

On Ziji Peak.
While Lu Xuening was worrying about how to get Gu Huaiyuan to visit her at the Lu family home, A Yao was entertaining Xu Fengzhi's mother on Ziji Peak.
Ayao and Wei Linglong sat around a jade table, surrounded by tall pear trees. The pear blossoms on each tree were a pure, snow-white hue. A deep sorrow shrouded Wei Linglong's face. Her appearance hadn't changed, but the weariness on her skin had deepened. Holding her tea, she looked at Ayao and said:
"You've achieved Nascent Soul so quickly. If Feng'er knew, he would surely be happy for you. However, he has been missing for the past three years."
"I heard that you went to the Northern Region and met him at Jianan Mountain, right?"
Ah Yao was saddened, but she nodded.
"And then? Have you seen him again? Has he contacted you?" Wei Linglong asked anxiously.
Ayao gently shook her head, her eyes dim: "No."
He could no longer speak to her, only hating that she was too weak now. She had severely injured Lou Munan, but hadn't been able to kill him. She hated Lou Munan intensely, and she also hated herself for not avenging Xu Fengzhi.
How can she tell his mother the truth now?
Wei Linglong was very disappointed when she heard A Yao's answer.
Looking into her eyes, which resembled Xu Fengzhi's, Ayao asked, "Did he tell you and Uncle Xu that he was going to the Northern Region to attend the Jianan Gathering?"
