Now Xu Fengzhi finds Gu Huaiyuan utterly displeasing, and even really wants to beat him up right now to vent A Yao's anger. He really wants to do that, but it seems that he doesn't need to do it; A Yao has already done it herself.
Gu Ruyan was still a young girl after all, and Xu Fengzhi saw that A Yao didn't care, so he didn't want to make things difficult for a young girl.
"You...you..."
Gu Huaiyuan still looked at A Yao in disbelief: "You, you really are Lu Xueyao."
Ayao said, "Does the Lu family have another Lu Xueyao? Why are you all asking me this?"
Gu Huaiyuan was so shocked that his mouth gaped open. In just three years, the ugly girl in his memory had not only become a beauty, but her strength had also become so terrifying that she had easily defeated him. This, this, this…
Gu Huaiyuan couldn't even accept that this was reality.
"How could you..."
He looked at Ayao, said half a sentence, but couldn't say anything more.
How did you become so amazing? How did you become even more beautiful than Ningning?
"This...this is impossible!"
"That's impossible!"
Gu Huaiyuan took a few steps back, unable to accept that he had been defeated by his former fiancée, whom he had once humiliated. He had always looked down on A Yao, and the moment he saw her, he felt utterly disgusted. The thought of his fiancée changing from Ningning to her had even given him nightly nightmares.
Deep down, he believed that A Yao was not good enough for him and did not want anything to do with her. Disregarding A Yao's feelings, he publicly announced that he would break off the engagement and change his fiancée to Lu Xuening. But now, the wild girl he once looked down on had transformed herself and defeated him in front of everyone, which was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
He could feel the mocking and ridiculing gazes of everyone falling on him, making him feel utterly humiliated and exposed.
"Young Master Gu, are you a sore loser? You lost, so what kind of man are you to refuse to admit it?" Xu Fengzhi mocked.
Gu Huaiyuan felt even more embarrassed by his mockery.
Xu Fengzhi was about to make a few more sarcastic remarks when a voice rang out: "Junior Sister Xueyao is amazing."
As soon as the voice rang out, the temperature in the air seemed to drop several degrees, and everyone looked in one direction, where a young man in black was walking towards them.
He looked to be around twenty-eight years old, though his actual age was certainly older. He was tall, nearly two meters, with a cascading head of white hair parted in the middle and draped over his sides. His skin was pale, and his icy blue eyes were set in narrow sockets, gleaming with an eerie light.
His appearance is very distinctive. At first glance, he is not handsome, but upon closer inspection, he has a unique beauty.
Lu Yin, the eldest disciple of Lu Xiuwen, the head of the Lu family, is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Because Lu Yin is the disciple of A Yao's father, all of her siblings have to call him Senior Brother.
In her past life, from the moment A Yao returned to the Lu family until she left, she never spoke a single word to her senior brother, Lu Yin. Did Lu Yin look down on A Yao and dislike her just like everyone else? That's not entirely wrong, but he was different from the others. He wasn't targeting A Yao; he looked down on everyone equally and disliked everyone equally.
Ayao was ostracized by everyone, while he was the opposite, ostracizing everyone himself.
Upon seeing that it was Lu Yin, everyone instinctively took a few steps back.
Lu Yin's appearance surprised everyone. Why did he come?
Among the younger generation of the Lu family who are less than four hundred years old, Lu Yin is the only one who has grasped the essence of the art. Now, there is also A Yao.
Outside the Lu family, everyone thought that A Yao's eldest brother, Lu Yunli, was the most talented among the younger generation of the Lu family, but in reality, Lu Yin was the most talented in the entire Lu family (not counting A Yao).
Lu Yin had almost never left Kunshan since birth, and outsiders rarely knew of his existence. Even those who did know that the Lu family patriarch had a disciple knew nothing about him except his name.
He was naturally aloof and arrogant, but Lu Xiuwen indulged him. In the eyes of the Lu family, he was a freak, but because of his strength and status, no one dared to provoke him. When they saw him, they would automatically give way.
This was the first time Xu Fengzhi had seen Lu Yin. He thought to himself: Who is this person? He calls her Junior Sister A Yao? Could he be...?
"Senior Brother Lu Yin." A Yao looked at Lu Yin walking over and was surprised. This guy actually spoke to her. How strange.
Lu Yin? Upon hearing this, Xu Fengzhi thought to himself: It really is him! The freak disciple of the rumored Lu family patriarch.
Apart from Gu Huaiyuan, the others were also seeing Lu Yin for the first time. Gu Ruyan grabbed Gu Huaimin's sleeve and hid behind him, finding Lu Yin's appearance somewhat frightening.
Taking advantage of his height, Lu Yin looked down at A Yao and said:
"Let's have a friendly spar."
ah?
Ayao looked surprised again.
“Senior Brother Lu Yin, you are at the Nascent Soul stage, how can Xiao Qi spar with you?” Lu Yun Shen came down from the height and landed next to A Yao.
Lu Yunxing also walked over and stood beside Lu Yunshen without saying a word. Lu Yunxing looked at A Yao, still in shock. What kind of extraordinary encounter had she had to become so powerful?
Lu Yunlin stood not far away, staring intently at A Yao, his eyes filled with jealousy. He was actually jealous of his own sister.
Lu Xuening chimed in from the side, "Even if Seventh Sister has comprehended sword intent, she is only at the Golden Core stage. It's too much of a stretch for her to spar with Senior Brother Lu Yin!"
“Yes! Senior Brother Lu Yin, please don’t make things difficult for her,” Lu Yunli said.
Lu Yin didn't even glance at them, treating them like they were invisible, and just stared at A Yao: "Dare you?"
Ayao looked up at his icy blue eyes: "What's there to be afraid of?"
A flash of spiritual light appeared on Lu Yin's body, and he was in mid-air.
“Ah Yao…”
Xu Fengzhi wanted to say something, but A Yao's figure flickered and she also flew into the sky.
Above the sea of clouds, Lu Yin and A Yao stood facing each other, about ten feet apart. Streams of light flew towards the surrounding mountain peaks. Xu Fengzhi landed on a mountaintop, and Lu Yunshen landed not far away. Both of them looked at A Yao and Lu Yin standing on the sea of clouds.
Lu Yunxing, Lu Yunlin, Lu Xuening, and others were also standing on the mountain peaks or on the sky locks and floating bridges between the peaks, watching the two of them.
With a flick of her longsword, A Yao unleashed thousands of flying swords that hurtled towards Lu Yin. These swords, numbering in the thousands, shot forth simultaneously, reaching Lu Yin in the blink of an eye. Lu Yin simply raised his hand, and the swords shattered into ice shards.
A flash of lightning appeared on A Yao's body. Just as Lu Yin shattered the flying sword, she was already above Lu Yin. The long sword in her hand burst forth with a strong sword intent and slashed down at Lu Yin below.
In that instant, the bleak autumn wind rose again, and her sword energy transformed into a winding river that lingered in the sky. In a flash, the river transformed into a giant dragon, threatening to tear Lu Yin in two.
A Yao's sword strike was even faster than before.
