Lu Family, Kunshan.
Amidst the swirling mist, Lu Xuening, dressed in magnificent palace attire and adorned with jewels, exuded captivating charm. Newlywed with Lu Yunchuan, she was deeply in love and had been enjoying a blissful time. Holding a casually plucked peony blossom, she was followed by several maids as they passed through a covered corridor.
Two people walked towards the end of the corridor.
The two people, one in front and one behind, were clearly master and servant just by looking at their positions.
The man walking in front was clearly tall, but too thin; even his clothes looked loose on him. He was handsome, but looked extremely haggard, with a full beard that made him appear particularly颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or颓废).
This is Lu Yunli and his guards.
Lu Yunli had finally found the mood to let his guards take him for a walk outside Chilian Peak, but he never expected to run into the person he hated the most.
Lu Xuening was surprised to see Lu Yunli. After her initial surprise, she immediately put on a smile and called out sweetly, "Big brother, it's been so long! How have you been?"
Looking at the allure in her eyes, and recalling the utterly shameful scene of that day, Lu Yunli felt a surge of anger and coldly said, "Shameless."
Lu Xuening's smile vanished instantly, and she said to the maids behind her, "You may all leave."
"yes."
Upon hearing this, the maids transformed into streaks of light and disappeared into the distance.
Lu Yunli also said to the guards behind him, "You step back too!"
"yes."
The guard left, leaving only Lu Yunli and Lu Xuening behind.
Lu Yunli looked coldly at Lu Xuening and sneered, "You rejected me that day, brought up Gu Huaiyuan, and then turned around and went to bed with Lao Er. Lu Xuening, you really are something else. I was blind to have failed to see your true colors. You shameless slut."
Lu Xuening was furious. This good-for-nothing actually called her a slut.
She looked at Lu Yunli, suppressing her anger, and smiled seductively:
“Big brother, you’re being really mean. Gu Huaiyuan has fallen for someone else. Am I supposed to remain chaste for him? My husband and I are in love. If he hears you say such hurtful things, he’ll be heartbroken! If he knew that your brother had coveted his wife, he’d probably go crazy.”
"Oh, by the way, I saw Senior Uncle Song from the Glazed Tile School come today. Do you think he came to discuss your marriage with Senior Sister Song Yan?"
Upon hearing Song Yan's name, Lu Yunli's expression changed.
He hadn't even thought of his fiancée, Song Yan, after his accident. Their marriage hadn't been mentioned in years, so what did the arrival of people from the Glazed Tile School mean?
Could it be...?
His face looked extremely grim.
Lu Xuening laughed maliciously, "Although big brother is now a cripple, I think Senior Sister Song Yan is so beautiful and kind, she definitely won't look down on you. Maybe she's here to discuss the wedding date, hehe~"
The more she spoke, the uglier Lu Yunli's expression became. Looking at the mockery and sarcasm on her face, Lu Yunli recalled the great care he had shown her in the past and felt that all his sincerity had been wasted.
The words "useless person" were like a sharp thorn piercing his heart.
He actually... he actually fell to this state because of such a heartless woman.
Why? Why didn't he see through this woman's true colors sooner?
People from the Glazed Tile School, what else could they be here for?
The thought of annulmenting the engagement made Lu Yunli feel suffocated.
"Big brother, don't give up on yourself. It's not a big deal if you get dumped. Look at me, I found someone even better after I was dumped, hehe~"
Seeing Lu Yunli's unpleasant expression, Lu Xuening smiled even more charmingly.
"You bitch—"
Enraged, Lu Yunli threw a punch at Lu Xuening, who easily dodged it. Lu Yunli's fist missed its mark, and he fell to the ground in a disheveled state. As he got up, Lu Xuening feigned concern and offered to help him up.
"Big brother, big brother, what happened? Why did you fall? Let me help you up!"
She made a move to help Lu Yunli up, but Lu Yunli roared, "Get out—"
Lu Xuening immediately dropped her pretentious act, snorted coldly, and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the sea of clouds. The maids were waiting on the other side of the sea of clouds, and they flew away with Lu Xuening.
A long rainbow flew over and landed on this side of the corridor.
They were Lu Yunli's guards.
"Bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch..."
Lu Yunli roared, why was he so stupid? How could he be so stupid to treat such a shameless and vicious scumbag as a treasure?
Lu Yunli pounded on the pillar.
The guard had been with Lu Yunli for a long time. Seeing Lu Yunli pounding on the pillar in despair, his hands covered in blood, he felt sorry for him, but he knew that stopping him would have the opposite effect, so he could only watch.
The guards stood by, watching Lu Yunli vent his anger before taking him back to Crimson Serpent Peak. Not long after Lu Yunli returned to Crimson Serpent Peak, Xu Lianxin arrived to see him.
"Yunli, this is a spirit-replenishing elixir that your mother found for you. Drink it; it will help you repair your spiritual root." Xu Lianxin placed a small porcelain bottle in front of Lu Yunli. Over the years, she had been searching for various spiritual herbs in an attempt to repair Lu Yunli's spiritual root.
In fact, she had also sent people to the Jianan Grand Gathering in the Northern Region three years ago. However, because the Jianan Grand Gathering lasted for a long time, by the time the elders of the Lu family arrived, Ayao was no longer there.
Xu Lianxin sent people to the Northern Region to attend the Jia Nan Grand Gathering, hoping to find some rare spiritual herbs that could help Lu Yunli rebuild his spiritual roots, but she was disappointed.
