"You have no idea how dangerous it was when we teleported out. The monsters in those spatial turbulence crashed through the barrier and were about to attack. In the blink of an eye, Miss Seven took care of those monsters with a few swift arrows."
In a certain spot in the garden, Ye Qingqing and her companions were recounting their escape from the secret realm, captivating everyone who listened.
"Seventh Miss is truly amazing!"
"That's right. If it weren't for her, countless elite disciples from the major families would have died this time."
When Lu Xuening arrived and heard these words, she felt extremely displeased. These past few days, countless people had come to visit her parents, all because of Lu Xueyao. Lu Xueyao had been stealing the spotlight and receiving countless gifts, driving Lu Xuening to the brink of madness with jealousy.
hateful!
Damn it! Why didn't this kind of good thing happen to her?
"Eighth Miss!"
A maid came from a distance, walked up to Lu Xuening, bowed and said, "The head of the family said that a family banquet will be held at Lianhua Palace on Mingyao Peak at noon today. He asked the Eighth Miss, the young masters, and the Seventh Miss not to forget."
Lu Xuening said "I understand" and the maid left.
At noon, Lu Xuening arrived at the flower hall where the banquet was being held at Lianhua Palace and found that, apart from her father, mother, and Lu Xueyao, all her brothers had already arrived.
"Little Eight!"
Upon seeing her, Lu Yunlin immediately stood up.
"Xiao Ba, are you alright? You look terrible." Lu Yunlin asked.
Lu Xuening said softly, "Maybe I haven't rested well."
Upon seeing her delicate appearance, everyone except Lu Yunshen and Lu Yunqi immediately surrounded her. Lu Yunli took Lu Xuening's hand and said, "Your hands are so cold. Didn't you wear the warm jade I gave you?"
"I forgot today."
As Lu Xuening said this, she glanced at Lu Yunshen and Lu Yunqi out of the corner of her eye. She didn't understand why even her fifth brother didn't seem to care about her as much anymore. He just came to check on her and didn't he hear her say that she wasn't resting well?
Ayao came in at that moment, and as soon as she entered, Lu Yunshen walked towards her: "Xiao Qi!"
Lu Yunqi looked at A Yao, wanting to go over, but hesitated.
Today, Ayao was dressed in a moon-white dress with a light green gauze over it. Her long, black hair was styled into many braids, adorned with butterfly-shaped hair ornaments, and she wore jade earrings and an ice-stone necklace. She looked as radiant as moonlight, dazzling and exquisitely beautiful.
Lu Xuening became extremely jealous as soon as she saw the jewelry on A Yao's body.
This woman has received so many gifts lately, and she still has to show off! It's outrageous!
"Seventh Sister!" Lu Xuening called softly.
Ayao smiled radiantly, touching her earring with one hand, and asked with a smile, "Are my earrings pretty?"
Lu Xuening's face contorted instantly, but she forced a smile and said, "It looks good."
Ayao laughed and said, "It's beautiful, but I won't give it to you."
Lu Xuening was so angry her chest felt like it was going to explode. Provocation! She was provoking her!!
Lu Yunchuan and Lu Yunxing both frowned as they looked at A Yao.
"Lu Xueyao!!" Lu Yunlin roared in fury.
"It's just earrings, isn't it? Little Eight, I'll give you a whole bunch another day." Lu Yunli said coldly to A Yao while supporting Lu Xuening.
Ayao glanced at Lu Yunli, her smile enigmatic: "Spirit Jade Stones are expensive; a whole pile of them will probably empty Big Brother's spirit stone bank."
After all, Lu Yunli was only the young master, not the head of the family, so what he could possess was limited.
“You…” Lu Yunli’s face turned pale with anger.
Ayao found her seat and sat down. A moment later, two long streaks of light flew in from outside and landed on the head seat, transforming into a husband and wife. Upon seeing Lu Xiuwen and Xu Lianxin, everyone took their seats.
“Everyone’s here, let’s begin the banquet!” Lu Xiuwen said, sitting down.
The maids stood by, pouring wine and serving dishes.
“It’s a family dinner today, so don’t be too formal. It’s been a long time since our whole family has been together like this,” Lu Xiuwen said.
Lu Yunli stood up, raised his wine glass, and said, "I toast to my father and mother, wishing them endless happiness!"
Xu Lianxin beamed with joy, and Lu Xiuwen also smiled.
After Lu Yunli offered a toast, Lu Yunchuan also raised a glass.
“Father, Mother, Xiao Ba has learned a new piece of music and wants to play it for you,” Lu Xuening said, standing up.
"Really? Then Mother should also listen to Xiao Ba's new song!" Xu Lianxin said with a smile.
Lu Xuening stood up, and with a wave of her hand, a zither table and stool appeared in the middle of the flower hall. She smiled and played a piece. After she finished, Lu Yunli and the others naturally praised her enthusiastically. Xu Lianxin and Lu Xiuwen also offered a few words of praise. Lu Xuening blushed and happily returned to her seat.
Ayao ate her food without saying a word, as if everything was none of her business.
"Xiao Qi, why aren't you saying anything?" Xu Lianxin asked.
Ayao looked up at her blankly: "What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lianxin felt a nameless anger rising in her heart. This wretched child still had this attitude, showing no regard for her, his mother, whatsoever.
Lu Xiuwen looked at A Yao, a smile playing on his lips:
"Xiao Qi made a great contribution to this secret realm incident. Xiao Qi, this is your reward."
With a wave of his hand, a mirror flew towards A Yao and floated in front of her. The mirror was edged with white jade, and the carved patterns were exquisite and elegant, exuding a rich immortal aura. It was a genuine immortal artifact.
"This immortal artifact, the Xuanli Mirror, is yours," Lu Xiuwen said.
