Despite Lu Jingxing's comforting words, He Sichen still didn't feel happy.
He knew An Wan well. On the surface, she was all smiles and enthusiastic to everyone, but inside she was a cold and guarded person. Not everyone who was nice to her could get into her heart.
Anyone who upsets her will hold a grudge and wait for an opportunity to get revenge.
I heard from Xiye that in the first battle at Shenxian Mountain a month ago, Anwan defeated the enemy with a single move, killing five cultivators with cultivation levels above the Nascent Soul stage.
At that time, the force that erupted was enough to shake half of the Immortal Mountain.
He Sichen didn't mention the Marrow Cleansing Pill again. Instead, he and the five Lu brothers looked at books on introductory cultivation techniques to find a suitable path for them.
...
Around noon, An Wan woke up and got up to eat something.
Despite her cultivation level reaching the Void Refining stage, she can abstain from grains for several years without feeling a single pang of hunger.
But she still loves to eat delicious food.
The delicious taste made her feel good all over, as if she had eaten something addictive.
Lu Sen and Yun Ping were busy cooking a table of dishes that An Wan liked in the kitchen. When they saw that she was awake, they were overjoyed and hugged her.
Regardless of whether Lu Jingxing and his brothers would return, the two first brought the food to the table and served An Wan lunch.
Lu Jiayan woke up shortly after and felt uncomfortable seeing An Wan eating so eagerly.
If she hadn't been taking care of her family last night, she wouldn't have stayed up all night, skipped breakfast to catch up on sleep, and is still hungry now.
When Sister Zhang notified the five Lu brothers to go home, they learned that An Wan had woken up.
He Sichen went along to freeload a meal, and also brought He Yurou, Jiang Wanruo, and Grandpa He along.
He would feel embarrassed to go and freeload a meal by himself.
If An Wan knew what He Sichen was thinking, she would definitely chase him away with a broom.
Would he feel embarrassed to freeload?
Pooh!
I wonder which jerk used to come over and freeload off me all the time, without even blushing or feeling guilty.
Now you feel embarrassed?
Nobody would believe him.

“Wanwan, you have no idea how bad they are… This morning they deliberately slipped away and hid. I suspect they’re up to something bad.”
Upon entering the Lu family home, He Yurou hugged An Wan and asked her to tattle on He Sichen and the others.
An Wan was the sister-in-law he had chosen, so He Sichen naturally wanted her to discipline her.
If he's not strictly managed, he'll probably do bad things outside.
"Hmm? Doing something bad?" An Wan glanced at He Sichen and the five Lu brothers, smiling mischievously.
She naturally knew what the "bad thing" He Yurou was talking about was, but this time she joined He Yurou in bullying them.
"Sister Yurou, what bad things could my brother and his friends do while they're hiding? Don't talk nonsense. But last night I thought I heard them going to the village to find some girl to play with."
"Huh? They really went to look for them?" He Yurou was startled, not expecting that her nonsense would actually come true.
"He Sichen—"
She yelled at He Sichen, who had just entered the restaurant, startling Lu Jingxing and his brothers behind him.
Why is He Yurou so angry about washing her hands?
They couldn't understand it; are all girls like this?
"Tell me! Did you go to see that girl this morning?" He Yurou walked over angrily and pointed at them.
Jiang Wanruo couldn't stop her no matter what.
An Wan chuckled to herself as she ate the braised pork.
Since meeting He Yurou, she has developed a bad habit of teasing and bullying others.
"Sis, what nonsense are you talking about! How could we possibly go looking for some young lady? Who told you that?" He Sichen was so angry he felt like his lungs were about to explode.
His sister actually falsely accused him of going to see some young ladies.
In both his lifetimes, he never harmed any woman.
He has always been a man of integrity, never owing any romantic debts, and would never knowingly harm innocent girls.
When Lu Jingxing saw Jiang Wanruo, he was worried that she might misunderstand him. "We were just out reading and learning this morning, we absolutely didn't go looking for any girls. All six of us can swear on our honor, Wanruo, don't listen to other people's nonsense."
This "other person" is a veiled reference to He Yurou.
"Who are you calling nonsense! Lu Jingxing, you did something wrong and you won't admit it. Are you even a man? And you even brought your younger brothers with you. You're utterly depraved."
He Yurou was furious and went berserk.
Ever since she learned that Lu Jingxing liked Jiang Wanruo and that they were dating, she couldn't stand anything about him.
She always doubted and opposed what he said, saying a few negative things or going against him.
Even the smallest mistake he made could be magnified tenfold and used to scold him.
"Yu Rou, don't be angry. Jing Xing didn't mean it that way. Let's sit down!" Jiang Wanruo hugged He Yu Rou's arm, her eyes reddening with worry and brimming with tears.
Seeing that things were going badly, An Wan quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "Sister Yu Rou, I misheard the name. Last night I heard Sister Wan Ruo. My brother and the others want us to go to that little waterfall together this afternoon. We're going to the county town tomorrow."
"So that's how it is. You little rascal, you can't even hear your name clearly. You almost caused your sister Yu Rou and your older brother to quarrel. You have to make them happy."
Jiang Wanruo exhaled and jokingly scolded An Wan.
"Oh~ I didn't mean to, Sister Yurou, come quick, my mom made egg dumplings, they're so delicious."
An Wan made a face and stuck out her tongue, then ran over and pulled He Yurou away.
She turned around and stuck her tongue out at He Sichen and Lu Jingxing.
They then realized that she was the one who had deliberately told them they went to see some young lady that morning; she was really wicked.
