On a misty mountaintop, several members of the Lu family were discussing A Yao's sudden increase in cultivation.
"Three years, from the mid-Foundation Establishment stage to the late-Golden Core stage, this kind of cultivation speed is unprecedented and will likely never be seen again."
"This seventh young lady is too terrifying!"
"That's right, this is even more extraordinary than the eldest young master's talent."
"Compared to this, Miss Eight is really pathetic. She's consumed so many rare and precious herbs and is only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment. It's such a waste."
In a corridor somewhere, several maids were also talking:
“I told you that Seventh Miss is a beauty in the making, but you didn’t believe me at first. With the blood of the head of the family and the madam, how could she really be an ordinary person?”
"I never expected that when the Seventh Miss first came back, she was dark-skinned and thin. In just a few years, she has transformed into a fairy. Like begets like!"
"Seventh Miss is so beautiful, a hundred times more beautiful than Eighth Miss!"
"Seventh Miss's demeanor and bearing are absolutely stunning! Indeed, the daughters of the head of the family and the madam are different. Even though she has been living outside, she is still an outstanding person, incomparable to ordinary people."
All of these words reached Lu Xuening's ears. Hearing that many people were now comparing her to A Yao and felt that she was inferior to A Yao, she was so angry that she was almost furious.
hateful!!

Purple Peak.
Enraged, Lu Xuening swept everything off the table, startling the maid beside her.
She was so angry that her beautiful face twisted in anger. "Lu Xueyao, Lu Xueyao, Lu Xueyao, why did you come back?" Just then, Lu Xuening heard Lu Yunqi's voice, and she immediately put on her usual gentle, innocent, and naive appearance.
"Little Eight—"
Lu Yunqi came in with a smile. When he came in, he saw the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground and frowned. Lu Xuening immediately said, "It was broken by a servant who was clumsy. It's nothing."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunqi coldly looked at the maids behind Lu Xuening and said, "You all better serve Xiao Ba, or I'll kick you all out of the Lu family."
The maids lowered their heads, not daring to speak. Everyone said how wonderful the Eighth Miss was, but they weren't fools; they had served Lu Xuening day and night and knew her true nature perfectly well.
Lu Xuening hugged Lu Yunqi's arm and said gently, "Fifth Brother, don't be so fierce. They didn't mean it. Okay, sit down!"
Lu Yunqi reached out and gently flicked Lu Xuening's nose with his finger, smiling as he said, "Xiao Ba, you're so kind."
Lu Yunqi sat down, and the maids tidied up and poured tea.
"Fifth Brother, did you come to see me today because you have something good for me?" Lu Xuening asked with an innocent smile.
Lu Yunqi smiled and said, "You guessed right."
After speaking, she took out a beautiful blue palace dress from her storage bag. The dress was made of silk spun by a hundred-year-old blue jade silkworm. The color varied in shade from every angle, and the embroidery on it was even more lifelike. Lu Xuening liked it very much at first sight.
"What a beautiful palace dress!" Lu Xuening liked it at first sight.
"Try it on!" Lu Yunqi said with a smile.
Lu Xuening cast a spell, and the clothes floated up and instantly appeared on her body. She ran to the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror, while Lu Yunqi stood beside her, constantly praising, "Beautiful, so beautiful!"
Lu Xuening looked at the clothes, touched the necklace around her neck, and said:
"These jewelry pieces don't quite match this palace dress. Hmm... Seventh Sister's Ice Soul Stone necklace goes very well with this outfit. If I were to trade my necklace for hers, would she agree? It was a gift from Young Master Xu to Seventh Sister; she definitely wouldn't be willing to give it to me..."
He frowned as he spoke, revealing a disappointed expression.
Lu Yunqi said, "It's just a necklace. She's not that stingy. Wait for me, I'll go ask her for it."
After speaking, Lu Yunqi strode out, transforming into a streak of light and leaving Ziji Peak, flying towards Yingxiu Peak.
————
Yingxiu Peak.
This was Lu Yunqi's first time visiting Yingxiu Peak. Only after arriving did he realize how vastly inferior the spiritual energy of Yingxiu Peak was to Xiao Ba's Ziji Peak and the main peaks possessed by all his brothers. No wonder Lu Xueyao was targeting Xiao Ba; she was probably resentful!
A vague feeling stirred within him, but he quickly dispelled it.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with Xiao Ba. It's just that Lu Xueyao is too petty.
"Lu Xueyao, Lu Xueyao—"
Lu Yunqi shouted as he walked toward the main hall ahead.
Today, A Yao had deactivated the protective array around the peak, which allowed him to walk in directly. Upon entering the main hall, Lu Yunqi saw A Yao sitting by the carved window, drinking tea. She wore a hibiscus-purple gauze dress, her long, black hair flowing smoothly down her back, and long earrings inlaid with red gemstones dangling from her ears. In the bright light, she resembled a serene and beautiful painting.
Lu Yunqi stared blankly for a moment, then cleared his throat.
Ayao looked at him and said, "It's you?"
Seeing such coldness, Lu Yunqi felt a surge of anger. He strode forward and sat down opposite A Yao, saying, "I need to talk to you."
Ayao glanced at him and said, "Speak."
Looking at A Yao's stunning face, Lu Yunqi gritted his teeth and said, "Give the Ice Soul Stone necklace that Xu Fengzhi gave you to Xiao Ba."
A Yao revealed a mocking smile, which made Lu Yunqi feel both angry and embarrassed. He immediately said, "I... I won't take yours for nothing. I... I can exchange it with you using a magic weapon."
