Xu Lianxin was speechless. Yes, Xiao Ba had said before that she only had Gu Huaiyuan in her heart, and that their feelings were mutual. But she quickly made excuses for Lu Xuening: "Perhaps it was because Gu Huaiyuan distanced himself from her that she transferred her affections..."
She spoke softer and softer, as if she herself didn't quite believe it.
"In short, I will absolutely not let the second son marry her," Lu Xiuwen said coldly.
Lu Xiuwen refused, but Xu Lianxin kept pestering him, and Lu Yunchuan also threatened to kill himself. In the end, Lu Xiuwen had no choice but to give in.
Lu Xuening was overjoyed to learn that Lu Xiuwen had agreed. However, to her great disappointment, her wedding was very quiet and uneventful.
It was a quiet and deserted place, but red ribbons and lanterns were still hung up. Although Lu Xiuwen disliked Lu Xuening, he couldn't resist Xu Lianxin's nagging, and Lu Yunchuan was, after all, his own son. Even with a cold face, he still presided over the wedding.
However, he had already given up on Lu Yunchuan in his heart, just as he had given up on Lu Yunli: This boy is not up to any great task!
On the day of the wedding, Ayao definitely didn't go, and it wasn't surprising that everyone knew she wasn't there.
The guests outside were not invited; all those attending the wedding were members of the Lu family. Everyone knew that the patriarch loathed Lu Xuening, and he maintained a cold expression throughout the wedding, so it was unlikely to be a lively affair. Everyone knew that Lu Xuening was just going through the motions, and she felt extremely wronged.

On Orange Wash Peak.
The bridal chamber was decorated everywhere in festive red, with red gauze curtains hanging low. Lu Xuening, wearing a phoenix crown, with exquisite makeup and a red wedding dress, sat on the bed, her veil already lifted.
Lu Yunchuan, dressed in a red groom's suit, sat next to her, holding Lu Xuening's hand in one hand, and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you today."
Lu Xuening felt extremely wronged. She had imagined what her wedding would be like, where all the prominent figures in the entire Southern Region would attend. She would wear the most magnificent wedding dress and enjoy the envious and jealous gazes of countless female cultivators.
But today, there wasn't a single guest outside. Not even the entire Lu family was present. Her father, Lu Xiuwen, maintained a cold expression throughout, and the guests offered only perfunctory congratulations with forced smiles. The way they looked at her wasn't out of envy, jealousy, or hatred; instead, their gazes held a strange glint, as if mocking her shamelessness.
Lu Xuening's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She looked at Lu Yunchuan and called out in a pitiful voice, "Second Brother..."
Her voice was incredibly charming, and Lu Yunchuan felt a pang of heartache as he looked into her tearful eyes. He pulled Lu Xuening into his arms: "Xiao Ba, don't worry, I will never let you suffer any more grievances in the future."
Lu Xuening leaned softly against Lu Yunchuan's chest. Although she felt wronged, she had at least avoided marrying the useless Lu Yunli, and besides, she would be the second young mistress of the Lu family from now on. Right, Lu Yunli was now crippled, so shouldn't the Lu family be inherited by her husband, Lu Yunchuan?
Lu Xueyao?
No matter how capable Lu Xueyao is, she is still a woman. How could her father let a woman like Lu Xueyao inherit the Lu family? Besides, her husband Lu Yunchuan is also of excellent talent. If he could be nurtured by the entire Lu family, he might not be inferior to that little bitch Lu Xueyao.
Thinking that her husband Lu Yunchuan would inherit the Lu family in the future, and that A Yao would have to be mindful of her feelings, Lu Xuening felt much more at ease.
She gazed at Lu Yunchuan's handsome face, recalling the day they had made love. The memory lingered, and she realized that the intimacy between men and women could be so enchanting...
Especially since her intimate encounter with Lu Yunchuan had allowed Lu Xuening to break through the bottleneck of the early Foundation Establishment stage and enter the middle Foundation Establishment stage, she now had an idea in her mind: if she were to cultivate with Lu Yunchuan in the future, perhaps her cultivation speed would advance by leaps and bounds. Thinking of this, she called out to Lu Yunchuan in a sweet voice:
"Second brother, let's rest now..."
Her eyes were misty and watery; as a bride today, she was indeed more charming than usual after careful dressing up. Lu Yunchuan was immediately captivated by her, and the two hit it off immediately, hastily taking off their clothes and starting their wedding night.
————
The closest mountain to Orange Washing Peak is Lu Yunli's Crimson Serpent Peak. Looking towards Orange Washing Peak, Lu Yunli can still see the red silk and strings of festive red lanterns on the palace.
The glaring red color made him extremely uncomfortable, especially as he thought of the disgusting scene he had witnessed that day. Now, he was certain that the woman he once loved most and his second brother were doing that kind of thing in bed.
Damn it! Damn it!
Lu Yunli picked up the wine jar and poured it down his throat.
He recalled every word Lu Xuening had ever said to him—what about not disliking him? It was all a lie, a complete fabrication. She was so eager to hook up with the second brother just to get rid of him. Bitch! She's a complete slut! A slut!
Why would he fall for such a despicable person!
You bitch!
He hated Lu Xuening, and he also hated Lu Yunchuan.
He's his older brother. Although they have many brothers, they're the closest in age, having grown up together and sharing everything. He clearly knows, clearly knows he likes Lu Xuening, so why is he still involved with her?
Of all the women in the world, why did he choose Lu Xuening?
Lu Yunchuan's betrayal was like a knife to Lu Yunli's heart, causing him immense anguish. He had lost his cultivation, become a mortal, been abandoned by his father, and even his most trusted younger brother and the woman he loved most had betrayed him. He had nothing left, absolutely nothing.
"Hahahaha..."
Lu Yunli poured himself a lot of alcohol, and then cried and laughed.
