Seeing that A Yao dared to speak to him like that, Lu Yunli unleashed his Nascent Soul stage aura, filling the entire Yingxiu Peak with oppressive force. However, he discovered that A Yao remained completely unfazed under his pressure.
Ayao smiled at him and said provocatively, "Is big brother angry?"
Seeing that she remained calm, Lu Yunli was surprised. Not only him, but Lu Yunchuan and the others were also shocked. Under the pressure of their elder brother, her expression did not change at all. A Yao's composure even gave them the illusion that they were facing an unfathomable power.
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Lu Yunli stared at A Yao and said coldly, "You have indeed changed a lot. It seems that the Senior Feng you mentioned has given you many fortuitous encounters, but don't forget that you are still a member of the Lu family."
He knew her previous submissiveness in front of him was all an act; now that she had someone to rely on, her true colors were showing. How could someone like that be worthy of being his sister?
"I heard you even talked back to your mother, and she didn't punish you. She's spoiling you too much. If she doesn't punish you, I won't let you off the hook. Will you go to the water dungeon to reflect on your mistakes, or will I drag you there to repent?"
Hearing this, Lu Xuening was secretly delighted: So what if you have the same blood as my older brother and the others, Lu Xueyao? In their eyes, I am their real sister, and you are nothing.
"Big brother!" Lu Yun Shen's expression changed, and he immediately moved to stand in front of A Yao. He looked at Lu Yun Li and said, "Big brother, please spare Xiao Qi this time!"
Lu Xuening looked at Lu Yunshen, feeling indignant. Why was her third brother helping this slut again?
"Get out of the way!" Lu Yunli looked coldly at Lu Yunshen.
Lu Yunshen remained motionless. He had already caused Xiaoqi a lot of harm, and this time he was determined to stand in front of her no matter what.
Lu Yunli's pupils contracted slightly. He looked at Lu Yunshen with intense anger and confusion in his eyes. His third brother had actually disobeyed him because of that wretched child, Lu Xueyao.
Suddenly, a powerful spiritual pressure erupted from Lu Yunli's body. This pressure caused the surrounding airflow to form a gale, and a frosty aura spread, causing the ground to freeze with crackling sounds.
Facing his spiritual pressure head-on, blood trickled from the corner of Lu Yun Shen's mouth, yet he still refused to give way.
He released his spiritual energy, forming a cyan light shield, which he used as a shield to block A Yao's path. However, the difference in power between the Nascent Soul stage and the Divine Transformation stage was too great. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but he still did not move aside.
Lu Xuening bit her lip hard. Why? Why would Third Brother protect Lu Xueyao even at the cost of his own life? How despicable!
Seeing this, Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunqi became anxious, but they didn't dare to approach. They looked at Ayao and saw her leisurely sipping tea, as if the matter had nothing to do with her. Lu Yunxing thought Ayao was heartless; her third brother was injured, and she was still drinking tea.
Lu Yunqi stared intently at A Yao. "Hey! Can't you just admit your mistake? Third Brother is about to vomit blood! Do you have any conscience, Lu Xueyao?!"
Lu Yunli frowned even more as he looked at Lu Yunshen's pale face. He glanced at A Yao and said to Lu Yunshen, "Even if you protect her like this, she won't be grateful to you."
After speaking, he withdrew his spiritual pressure, turned around, and transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the outside of Yingxiu Peak.
Lu Xuening was disappointed that she didn't get to see A Yao suffer.
Lu Yunchuan took Lu Xuening's hand and chased after Lu Yunli. Lu Yunlin glanced at A Yao, snorted coldly, and left as well.
Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunqi walked to Lu Yunshen's side, and one of them asked:
"Third Brother, are you alright?"
One said:
"Third brother, you're being too reckless."
Lu Yunshen shook his head and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Lu Yunxing, always hot-tempered, turned and yelled at A Yao, "Hey, Third Brother is spitting blood!"
Ayao rested her chin on one hand and propped her elbow on the table. She said, "Then let's go back and rest!"
"Hey, is this your attitude? Do you have any conscience at all?!" Lu Yunxing continued to yell at A Yao.
Ayao glanced at him, waved her hand, and melted the ice on the ground. Her behavior angered Lu Yunxing so much that he wanted to hit her. He cursed, "You really have no conscience, Third Brother. You should have had Big Brother teach her a lesson and sent her to the water dungeon for a few months."
"You should go back!" Lu Yunshen said, his face pale.
Lu Yunxing wanted to say something, but Lu Yunshen had already pushed him away. Lu Yunxing snorted coldly and flew away on his sword. Lu Yunqi looked at Lu Yunshen, who waved for him to go first. Lu Yunqi turned and also flew away on his sword.
A gentle breeze blew by, and Lu Yun Shen turned to look at A Yao; his handsome face was very pale.
"Xiao Qi..."
He gazed at A Yao and called out softly.
Ayao looked at the bloodstains on his clothes, and a pang of unease gripped her heart. Whether in her past life or now, Lu Yunshen was probably the only one in the entire Lu family who truly cared for her. When she first returned, she was illiterate, and Lu Yunqi, though claiming he would teach her, deliberately humiliated her.
Later, it was Lu Yunshen who taught her to read. He held her hand and taught her to write stroke by stroke. The basic cultivation techniques she practiced were also taught to her by Lu Yunshen.
Of her six brothers, only he treated her like a younger sister, but she couldn't compare to Lu Xuening. Between her and Lu Xuening, he always chose Lu Xuening.
Of all the members of the Lu family, Lu Yunshen was the best to A Yao, so A Yao had the deepest feelings for him. Therefore, every time he abandoned her and ran to Lu Xuening, she was hurt the most.
“Lu Xuening won’t be happy if you do this,” A Yao said indifferently.
Lu Yun Shen looked at her and said, "No, Xiao Ba, no. Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba really wants to get along with you. She's told me that several times..."
"I don't like Lu Xuening."
Ayao interrupted Lu Yunshen, looking at him sharply: "I have no intention of getting along with her."
Lu Yunshen looked at A Yao, hesitating to speak.
"You can only choose one, me or her. You can only have one sister. Who do you choose?" Ayao's eyes grew sharper, as if her gaze could pierce through Lu Yunshen's heart.
Tens of thousands of years have passed, and she thought she had long forgotten those things. Now she realizes that she hasn't truly let go, at least not completely with Lu Yun Shen. It's precisely because he treats her differently from others that she can't let go.
If he were like everyone else, she could cut the Gordian knot quickly.
Did Heaven grant her a second life so that she could sever all ties with the cause and effect of this?
Ayao stood up, walked up to Lu Yunshen, looked him straight in the eye, and asked, "Lu Yunshen, which sister do you want? Me, or Lu Xuening?"
A look of struggle appeared on Lu Yun Shen's handsome face. He opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Qi, I..."
Seeing him unconsciously back away, Ayao felt utterly disappointed. Fine! She shouldn't have had any hope for him in the first place. Even if he truly cared about her as his sister, he still couldn't surpass Lu Xuening.
Ayao turned her back and said softly, "You should go."
Lu Yun Shen looked at A Yao, who had her back to him, his eyes swirling with various emotions. He was in turmoil. Why did he have to choose a younger sister? Couldn't he have two younger sisters?
