He looked at Ayao, puzzled.
A Yao said with a sneer, "Weak? Even if she's weak, she's still a Foundation Establishment cultivator. She can't possibly kneel herself to death, can she? Back then, I was only at the third level of Qi Refining, but I knelt in front of my ancestors' tablets for ten days and ten nights."
Ayao looked sharply at Lu Yunshen and asked, "Third brother, have you forgotten about this?"
Lu Yun Shen was stunned, his heart felt as if it had been violently ripped apart by an invisible hand.
At that time, A Yao had only been back in the Lu family for less than half a year. Lu Xuening had two spirit pets, one was a celestial dog named Tuan Tuan, and the other was a two-tailed lightning weasel. When she was practicing swordsmanship in the forest, the two-tailed lightning weasel suddenly attacked her. A Yao was scratched on the arm by it, and in a fit of anger, A Yao killed it.
Lu Xuening cried her heart out because of this. Everyone blamed her, and even her mother forced her to apologize to Lu Xuening. Ayao naturally refused. It was clearly that beast who attacked her, and she killed the beast to protect herself. Instead, she had to apologize to Lu Xuening. Shouldn't Lu Xuening be apologizing to her?
Because she refused to admit her mistake, she was whipped more than a dozen times and then forced to kneel before the ancestral tablets. She knelt there for ten days and ten nights, and apart from Lu Yun Shen visiting her, no one paid any attention to her.
“It’s only three hours until dawn, and Third Brother is already feeling sorry for her. I knelt for ten days and ten nights back then.” A Yao looked at Lu Yun Shen and said calmly.
She had felt intense hatred back then, but for her reborn self, that was something from hundreds of thousands of years ago. She had forgotten how she felt then, only feeling pity for her former self.
Lu Yunshen was speechless.
Xiao Ba was clearly at fault in that matter; she didn't take good care of her spirit pet, but in the end, it was Xiao Qi who was punished.
Only Xiaoqi.
At the time, he pleaded for Xiaoqi, advising her not to be so stubborn, but he didn't defend her. Xiaoqi did nothing wrong! Why should she admit her mistake?
He should have said those words out loud back then.
However, at that time, he only felt sorry for Xiao Ba and wanted Xiao Qi to endure the grievances, so he persuaded her to admit her mistakes.
Thinking of that incident, Lu Yunshen had nothing more to say; his heart felt heavy and uncomfortable.
"If there's nothing else, please leave and don't disturb my cultivation," A-Yao said, closing her eyes.
Lu Yun Shen slowly walked outside. As soon as he stepped out of the room, the door closed automatically. He stood at the door with his head down, silent for a long time, before walking back to his own room.
Xiao Qi has suffered so much injustice, and Xiao Ba isn't just a paper effigy, so let her kneel until dawn! If these things can be resolved and the family can live in harmony from now on, that would be a good thing.
Lu Yunshen went back to his room.
Lu Xuening waited on the deck for most of the day, but Lu Yunshen didn't return. Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunqi both tried to persuade her not to kneel, but Lu Xuening, in order to put on a show of suffering, could only grit her teeth and stubbornly say, "No, I will kneel!"
Right now, it seems like only Lu Yunxing and Lu Yunqi are here, but she knows that there are many people on this ship watching this place with their divine senses, so she has to keep up the act.
After kneeling for an hour and a half, her legs were in so much pain that she felt her knees hurt so much that she couldn't take it anymore. So Lu Xuening had no choice but to use her trump card.
She fainted.
"Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba, how are you?"
"Little Eight—"
Lu Yunxing picked up the unconscious Lu Xuening and headed towards her room.
Ayao ignored what happened next. She set up a protective barrier in her room and didn't come out until the airship arrived at Burial Dragon Mountain.

【Burial Dragon Mountain】
The sky above Burial Dragon Mountain is filled with floating ships of all sizes, and the ground is teeming with cultivators. Small trading markets have even sprung up here.
Above the steep mountain peak, the sky turned purplish-red, and a huge purple vortex, hundreds of feet long, appeared. Mist swirled around the vortex, and red lightning bolts shot out in all directions from the mist from time to time.
That enormous purple vortex is the entrance to the secret realm. This entrance has always been open, but the storm at the entrance is strong enough to tear a Golden Core cultivator to pieces. Even Nascent Soul cultivators must be extremely cautious, which is why everyone has gathered here to wait.
Every twelve hours, the storm at the entrance would weaken, and the cultivators gathered there would rush towards the vortex.
The Lu family of Kunshan already had three airships anchored at Burial Dragon Mountain, and when the airship carrying A Yao and her group arrived, it still attracted a lot of attention. The young cultivators of the Lu family stood on the deck, gazing at the huge purple vortex, all of them extremely excited.
"Is that...the entrance to the secret realm?" Lu Qingqing's cheeks flushed.
“Yes, that’s the entrance to the secret realm,” Lu Zhi said from the side.
"How magnificent!"
Wow, so many people have come!
While most people were waiting for their chance, some Nascent Soul stage cultivators, undeterred by the storm at the entrance, transformed into streaks of light and entered the secret realm directly, drawing countless envious glances. There was only one entrance to the secret realm, but numerous exits scattered throughout Burial Dragon Mountain.
Nowadays, many unorthodox cultivators choose not to enter the secret realm, but instead hunt down cultivators emerging from it at the various exits. This has led to numerous bloody battles and many deaths.
Lu Yunxing, Lu Yunqi, Lu Yunlin and Lu Xuening came out of the cabin together. Lu Xuening looked up and saw the entrance to the secret realm, and she was also shocked.
"Is that the entrance to the secret realm? It's so magnificent!" Lu Xuening's cheeks were flushed.
She looked around and saw the other boats belonging to the Lu family. She thought to herself, "I knelt for an hour and a half; I can't let it go to waste. When I see my older brothers later, I'll make them teach Lu Xueyao a lesson!" Humph!
A streak of light flew from a ship flying the flag of the Kunshan Lu Clan and landed in front of Lu Xuening. It was a young man in the Nascent Soul stage who was Lu Yunli's guard. He clasped his hands in greeting to Lu Xuening, Lu Yunxing and the others: "Greetings, Eighth Miss and all the young masters. The eldest and second young masters asked me to wait here and give this jade slip to the Eighth Miss."
He handed a jade slip to Lu Xuening, who took it, read the message inside, and said to Lu Yunxing, Lu Yunlin, and Lu Yunqi beside her, "Big brother and second brother said they are waiting for us in the secret realm."
“Then let’s go find them!” Lu Yunxing said. As he spoke, his gaze fell on A Yao, who came out of the cabin, with Lu Yunshen beside her.
The moment Lu Yunlin saw A Yao, he felt his ribs ache again. This vicious woman had actually broken two of his ribs with a single punch—and he was her own brother! She was a beast, and his third brother was even helping this beast.
She injured herself and forced Xiao Ba to kneel down; he'll settle this score with her sooner or later.
Ayao also noticed Lu Yunlin and the others, but she only glanced at them coldly before looking away. At this moment, an old man in white robes appeared at the highest point of the airship. The old man had white hair and beard, but he was full of energy and had an air of otherworldly grace.
Everyone who saw him bowed respectfully to him, saying, "Elder Jing!"
