Gu Huaiyuan wasn't a meticulous person, and when Lu Xuening said she just hadn't rested well, Gu Huaiyuan didn't suspect anything. After they came out, he pulled Lu Yunxing aside and said, "I got a magic weapon a few days ago, it's very powerful. How about we go to the martial arts arena and spar?"
Lu Yunxing smiled and said, "Okay!"
"What about Yun Qi and Yun Lin? Let's call them too!" Gu Huaiyuan said.
Lu Yunxing immediately sent two telepathic messages, one to Lu Yunqi and one to Lu Yunlin. He then flew with Gu Huaiyuan and the rest of the Gu family towards the nearest martial arts arena.

Yingxiu Peak.
Ever since Xu Fengzhi stayed at the Lu family's residence, he has been going to Yingxiu Peak every day. Now, the Lu family members have started a betting game in secret: betting on when Xu Fengzhi will propose marriage to the family head and his wife.
To be honest, A Yao was getting a little annoyed by Xu Fengzhi's daily visits. However, since he was her savior from her past life, she couldn't afford to give him a hard time. So, even though she was a bit annoyed, she still had to entertain him when he came. But A Yao decided that if he continued to linger at the Lu family's house for a few days, she would go into seclusion.
“Young Master Xu, you’ve been staying at the Lu family’s house for a month now. Are you that free?” A-Yao said, picking up a cup of tea.
Xu Fengzhi smiled and said, "Although my parents are currently in seclusion, the elders are helping to handle matters within the sect, so I can stay here for three to five years without any problems."
Three to five years?
Ayao's eye twitched. Although this time was not very long for a cultivator, this person's thoughts were written all over his face, clearly indicating that he had ulterior motives towards her!
“My mother and your mother have known each other since childhood, and our two families are old friends. It feels too formal to keep calling you Seventh Miss. Can I call you A Yao?” Xu Fengzhi asked with a smile.
Ayao rubbed her temples: "Whatever you say."
"Ah Yao, Ah Yao..."
The black-haired, golden-eyed man murmured A-Yao's name in a deep, gentle voice. He gazed at A-Yao opposite him and said with a smile, "Then you shouldn't call me Young Master Xu anymore. How about calling me by my courtesy name, Songqing?"
Ayao's gaze suddenly sharpened.
Xu Fengzhi continued with a smile, "Or you can call me Brother Xu? Senior Brother Xu?"
Ayao stared intently at Xu Fengzhi, her sharp gaze making it hard for him to maintain his smile. She then said, "My third brother said that you have many concubines and are entangled with many women, and he told me to stay away from you."
"Rumors!" Xu Fengzhi hurriedly said, "Those are all rumors. I don't have any concubines. I did take in some female cultivators, but they are not my concubines. I only took them in because they had nowhere else to go. Ayao, don't listen to your third brother's nonsense."
"The claim that I have entanglements with other women is completely unfounded."
"Ah Yao, you have to believe me."
Ayao said, "Whether it's true or not has nothing to do with me. I just said it casually. I'm focused on the Tao and have no interest in anything else."
Even after A Yao said that, Xu Fengzhi's gaze remained fervent as he looked at her. He nodded and smiled, saying, "A Yao, your resolve is unwavering, truly a model for us all. I need to learn more from you. If I could sit down and discuss the Dao with you every day, it would be of great benefit to me."
Ayao: "..."
This man has such a thick skin! If it weren't for the kindness she showed him in her past life, she would have kicked him out right now. But thinking of her past life, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to coldly send him away.
She could only sigh inwardly and tell herself that this guy was a womanizer, and his enthusiasm for her would only last a year or two at most. If there was no progress after a year or two, he would probably get bored and stop bothering her.
"Ah Yao, look at the nice weather today, why don't we go for a walk?" Xu Fengzhi said with a smile, looking at the clear sky outside.
Ayao glanced outside and stood up.

Martial arts training ground.
A large number of cultivators had gathered at the martial arts arena on the West Emperor Peak side. Some sat, some stood, watching the two figures fighting in the sky. The two figures were Gu Huaiyuan and Lu Yunxing. Lu Yunxing held a white longsword in his hand, and wisps of cold air swirled around the blade. Every time he swung the sword, a chilling aura would rise.
Gu Huaiyuan held a blue-silver longsword in his hand, with blue lightning crackling around it. He was also surrounded by lightning, and every time he swung the sword, electric snakes shot out in all directions.
The two fought from the sky to the ground, and then back up again. In the end, Lu Yunxing was defeated.
Gu Huaiyuan's sword was pointed at Lu Yunxing's throat. The ice spikes floating around Lu Yunxing, like his body, froze in mid-air. Lu Yunxing's body stiffened, and he stared at Gu Huaiyuan, his face extremely pale. Gu Huaiyuan and Lu Yunxing both landed on the ground. Gu Huaiyuan burst into laughter:
"Thank you for your kind offer!!"
"Well done, Senior Brother Huaiyuan!" A boy who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old clapped and cheered. This boy was a child from the Gu family named Gu Wen.
The young cultivators from the Lu family around them all looked grim, as did Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunlin. Actually, Gu Huaiyuan often visited the Lu family and frequently sparred with these cultivators of similar age. In the past, there were wins and losses, so no one had any real animosity.
However, today Gu Huaiyuan somehow obtained a powerful magic weapon—the Thunder Abyss Sword in his hand. With the power of this sword, all the juniors of the Lu family who were at the Golden Core stage were defeated by him, and the Lu family members' faces immediately changed.
People like Lu Yun Shen, who are at the Nascent Soul stage, or others at the Deity Transformation stage, are unlikely to have a good outcome. Gu Huai Yuan is only at the Golden Core stage, yet he's at the Nascent Soul stage. This isn't about getting revenge; it's about the strong bullying the weak.
