"Just now, wasn't that...?"
Lu Qingqing opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.
“Artistic conception, that was artistic conception just now.” The speaker was Lu Xuening. Lu Xuening was beautiful and was A Yao’s cousin. She was one of the most outstanding women among the younger generation of the Lu family and had already reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
After hearing Lu Xuening's words, the others who were not quite sure all showed expressions of shock.
It truly evokes a sense of atmosphere!
She actually grasped the essence of the concept!
Oh my god!
What kind of monster is this?
She's not even nineteen yet! Ah Yao won't turn nineteen for another three months.
He's already at the late Golden Core stage before he's even nineteen, and he's even grasped the essence of the art! This is practically cheating!
Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunqi stared wide-eyed. They couldn't believe that their younger sister had defeated Gu Huaiyuan, who had just beaten them, and had even grasped the essence of the art.
Why were people so shocked that A Yao had grasped the essence of the art?
For cultivators, it's an undeniable fact that a Qi Refining cultivator cannot defeat a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a Foundation Establishment cultivator cannot defeat a Golden Core cultivator, and a Golden Core cultivator cannot defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator. No one can cross a single major realm to defeat an opponent.
But with the attainment of artistic conception, things are different. Once you comprehend artistic conception, even this common sense can be overturned. A Foundation Establishment cultivator can fight a Golden Core cultivator, a Golden Core cultivator can fight a Nascent Soul cultivator, a Nascent Soul cultivator can fight a Deity Transformation cultivator, and a Deity Transformation cultivator can fight a Void Refinement cultivator.
For those prodigies who can comprehend the essence of things, realm is not a barrier that confines them. Among the many young cultivators in the Lu family, there is no shortage of those with extraordinary talent, but only one person can comprehend the essence of things.
And now, there's one more person.
Gu Huaiyuan was stunned. He reached up and touched his neck, feeling the bloodstains there.
If he had actually fought an enemy, his head would have been chopped off.
Ayao clasped her hands in a fist and said in a calm tone, "Thank you for your consideration."
“A-Yao”.
Xu Fengzhi walked to A Yao's side. Gazing at her beautiful face, his eyes burned even brighter. He said admiringly, "A Yao, you actually grasped the essence of the art! You're truly amazing!"
"Seventh Sister, you're really hiding your true abilities!" Lu Xuening said.
"Seventh Sister, you're becoming more and more unfathomable."
A young man standing next to Lu Xuening said that he was tall and handsome, with a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation. His name was Lu Yunli, and he was A Yao's cousin.
Besides her six older brothers, Ayao also has quite a few cousins. High-level cultivators usually find it difficult to have offspring, but the Lu family of Kunshan doesn't have this problem. The Lu family has always had many children, and even couples like Ayao's parents, who are at the Void Refinement stage, have an enviable number of offspring.
This is because a kind of spiritual herb called Deer Grass grows in the forbidden area of the Lu family. Women who consume this herb will have the miraculous effect of conceiving many children. Although this spiritual herb grows slowly, its medicinal effects can be passed on to the next generation.
After a woman takes this rare and precious herb, her offspring will be more likely to have children than others, even if they do not take this elixir.
Lu Yunshen stood not far away, watching A Yao. He recalled the scenes of teaching her the Autumn Water Sword Technique. When did she become so powerful? Even more powerful than him, she had grasped the essence of the technique.
In places unseen by him, in places unseen by all of them, just how much effort did she put in?
What kind of hardships did she go through in these three years?
Thinking about all this, Lu Yunshen felt a dull ache in his heart.
Lu Yunshen wanted to go over, but for some reason his steps became heavy.
Gu Huaiyuan's eyes widened when he heard Lu Xuening and the others call A Yao "Seventh Sister." He stared at A Yao as if he had seen a ghost: "You, you, you are Lu Xueyao?"
Ayao looked at him and said, "Yes."
Gu Huaiyuan shook his head: "This, this, this is impossible!"
Gu Huaiyuan said loudly.
Everyone stared at him, especially the Lu family members, who all wore intriguing expressions. After all, he and A Yao had been engaged before, and now the person he was engaged to was Lu Xuening. Before, everyone thought Lu Xuening was a hundred times, a thousand times better than A Yao; A Yao couldn't compare to Lu Xuening in any way. But now things were different.
In terms of looks, A Yao surpasses Lu Xuening; in terms of temperament, A Yao surpasses Lu Xuening; and in terms of talent, Lu Xuening is no match for A Yao.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful A Yao, everyone had long forgotten that they had looked down on her in the past, and instead watched Gu Huaiyuan make a fool of himself.
Is this guy regretting it now?
The Gu family members looked at A Yao with the same look of disbelief as Gu Huaiyuan.
"You, you are Lu Xueyao? This, this is impossible. I've seen Lu Xueyao before. She's an ugly monster." The girl in the yellow dress from the Gu family said. This girl was Gu Huaiyuan's cousin named Gu Ruyan. She had always been spoiled and was outspoken, saying whatever came to mind.
She couldn't believe the person in front of her was Lu Xueyao. Lu Xueyao was clearly dark-skinned and thin, with unsightly scars all over her hands. Besides, Lu Xueyao wasn't that powerful. The last time she saw Lu Xueyao, that guy was only in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. How could he have become a late-Golden Core cultivator in just three years? It must be a lie.
Xu Fengzhi's eyes turned cold upon hearing Gu Ruyan's impolite words. He suppressed his gentle smile and said sarcastically, "The Gu family certainly has good manners!"
Gu Ruyan took a step back in fear after being stared at by Xu Fengzhi. A young man in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, dressed in a sky-blue robe, stepped in front of her and said, "My younger sister is young and speaks without thinking. I hope Young Master Xu will not take offense!"
The speaker was Gu Ruyan's brother, Gu Huaimin.
Xu Fengzhi said seriously, "What are you telling me? She should apologize to A Yao."
Gu Ruyan clutched Gu Huaimin's clothes, puffing out her cheeks. She didn't want to apologize to Ayao. She used to like Xu Fengzhi because he was handsome, but now she disliked him completely. This guy is so fierce!
"Never mind, I've heard worse things than this," Ayao said.
Seeing her so calm and collected, Xu Fengzhi felt even more heartache. He had been living in the Lu family for over a month, and in that time, he already knew about Gu Huaiyuan and A Yao's affair. Not only that, he also knew many other things, such as the incident three years ago when A Yao was mistreated by the servants, which led to Lu Yunshen's rage and murder.
The main problem is that these things are not secrets within the Lu family, and Xu Lianxin has not issued any gag order. Xu Fengzhi can easily find out everything by using a few tricks.
The more he learned, the more he felt sorry for A-Yao, and the more he felt that the Lu family was a den of dragons and tigers for her. He wished he could take A-Yao away from here immediately. However, he had no legitimate reason to take A-Yao away, and A-Yao had no intention of going with him.
Xu Fengzhi was a man who cherished women the most. Even in his previous life, before he fell in love with A Yao, when he learned that Gu Huaiyuan, a grown man, had forced his fiancée to break off their engagement in front of everyone and marry her sister, he thought Gu Huaiyuan was a scoundrel.
Any man should not embarrass an innocent girl like this.
