Xiao Yi tugged at Lu Shaoqing's sleeve once more. "Second Senior Brother, we shouldn’t."
"Don't disturb Senior Brother. He won’t be pleased."
From the bottom of her heart, Xiao Yi didn’t want Xiao Qun to meet Ji Yan.
Xiao Qun was not happy. "Xiao Yi, what do you mean by that?"
"What? I’m not allowed to pay my respects to Young Master Ji Yan?"
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to stop me?"
Xiao Yi scoffed, "I’m his junior sister."
"A direct disciple, from the same sect."
Xiao Yi puffed out her chest proudly as she looked at Xiao Qun.
Mentioning this only made Xiao Qun angrier. "You stole my spot! If it weren't for your uncle favoring you, you wouldn’t have been accepted into Tianyu Peak!"
"All of this was supposed to be mine."
After saying that, she turned to Lu Shaoqing, "Take me to see Young Master Ji Yan."
"If you help me, I won’t forget your kindness."
"My grandfather is a Yuanying-stage expert. If you help me, consider it a favor you can call on later."
Lu Shaoqing's eyes lit up, a wide smile spreading across his face as he rubbed his hands together like a sycophant.
"Miss Xiao, you're too kind."
"Talking about favors makes us seem distant. We're all family, and family should help each other, right?"
Xiao Yi was so angry she stomped her foot. Her Second Senior Brother now looked like a complete toady.
"Second Senior Brother, why are you doing this?"
Xiao Yi was upset and disappointed. Could it be that her Second Senior Brother was actually afraid of the Grand Elder?
After all, the Grand Elder was only at the mid-Yuanying stage.
Xiao Yi said, "Second Senior Brother, you don't need to be afraid. So what if he's at the mid-Yuanying stage?"
Lu Shaoqing was displeased, "What do you know, little girl?"
"Do you have any idea how powerful a mid-Yuanying stage expert is? Even our master can't compare."
"Step aside, the adults are talking. Don't butt in."
Xiao Yi grew even more disappointed, stomping her foot so hard that the ground cracked beneath her.
"Come on, Miss Xiao, let’s not mind her. She’s just a child who doesn’t understand."
Xiao Qun looked at Xiao Yi with a smug, provocative expression.
So what now? Even your Second Senior Brother has bowed to reality.
"Haha."
Xiao Qun laughed triumphantly.
Xiao Yi's eyes reddened with a mix of anger and frustration.
She hadn't expected her Second Senior Brother to completely change his attitude after learning that Xiao Qun was the Grand Elder's granddaughter, bowing and scraping in front of her.
So what if he's at the mid-Yuanying stage?
Does that make him invincible?
"Second Senior Brother, you’re not allowed to go."
Xiao Yi gritted her teeth in frustration.
Lu Shaoqing responded, "If you don't want to go, then stay here. Don't follow us."
Then, with a smile, he turned back to Xiao Qun. "Miss Xiao, let’s go. I’ll take you."
Xiao Qun glanced at Xiao Yi with a smug expression, lifting her chin arrogantly. "Let's go."
Seeing Xiao Qun’s gloating expression, Xiao Yi gritted her teeth and followed after them.
Along the way, the young members of the Xiao family accompanying Xiao Qun mocked Lu Shaoqing.
"He looks decent, but who knew he was such a coward?"
"Yeah, what a disappointment."
"All bark and no bite, just a paper tiger."
"I thought the disciples of Tianyu Peak were all real men, but it seems only Young Master Ji Yan is worth mentioning."
"A spineless man like him is disgusting."
"Heh, it must be embarrassing for Xiao Yi to be his junior sister."
"Good thing our eldest sister didn’t join that sect, or we’d be the ones embarrassed."
"Right, the family head miscalculated. Who knew Xiao Yi’s Second Senior Brother would turn out to be such a coward."
"Haha."
Hearing them talk about her Second Senior Brother this way made Xiao Yi even angrier.
She glared at them, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"Bastards!"
Xiao Yi's outburst only made the others laugh harder.
"Angry, are we? Well, take a look at your Second Senior Brother's behavior."
"After what he’s done, how can you argue otherwise?"
"If he isn’t a coward, what is he?"
"Haha."
Xiao Yi wanted to defend Lu Shaoqing, but in the face of reality, her words felt powerless.
A sense of helplessness washed over her.
What kind of person is Second Senior Brother, really?
Why is he acting like this?
Is he truly afraid of the mid-Yuanying stage Grand Elder?
Xiao Yi looked at Lu Shaoqing's back, feeling deeply disappointed.
Xiao Qun heard what Xiao Yi said and chuckled as she spoke to Lu Shaoqing. "My cousin seems to care about you quite a bit."
"Even now, she’s still defending you."
Lu Shaoqing sighed, "She’s just a child. What does she know?"
"Don’t take her too seriously."
Xiao Qun said smugly, "She’s my cousin. Why would I take her seriously?"
"Exactly. It’s exhausting to get caught up in the squabbles of such an ignorant child."
Hearing Lu Shaoqing talk about her like this, Xiao Yi felt tears well up in her eyes.
That damn Second Senior Brother, he’s just awful.
Lu Shaoqing led Xiao Qun to a small wooden cabin.
Pointing to it in the distance, he said, "Miss Xiao, that’s where Senior Brother lives."
"Senior Brother stays in that cabin."
Xiao Qun was suspicious. "Does Young Master Ji Yan really live there?"
They were standing about a hundred meters away from the cabin.
The area around the cabin was barren, not a single blade of grass growing, and the ground was covered in cracks and pits as if meteors had struck it.
This place didn’t look like the residence of someone as esteemed as Ji Yan, the head disciple.
It was too simple.
Xiao Qun eyed Lu Shaoqing suspiciously. "Are you trying to trick me?"
Lu Shaoqing looked aggrieved, "Miss Xiao, your words wound me."
"If you don’t believe me, ask my junior sister. Isn’t this where Senior Brother lives?"
Xiao Qun looked at Xiao Yi, who turned her face away and said coldly, "No, you should leave."
"Haha," Xiao Qun relaxed, "So, this really is Young Master Ji Yan's residence."
"As expected of Young Master Ji Yan, his home is so simple, yet it holds a profound meaning beyond ordinary understanding."
Xiao Qun believed that since this was Ji Yan's residence, it was filled with a deep sense of Dao that only a true cultivator could appreciate.
Lu Shaoqing turned to Xiao Qun, "Miss Xiao, you can go ahead. I won’t accompany you, as I’m afraid Senior Brother might scold me."
He then made a gesture inviting her forward.
Xiao Qun nodded and was about to step forward.
One of her companions warned, "Eldest Sister, be careful of any tricks."
Xiao Qun gave Lu Shaoqing a disdainful look. "What trick could there be? I don’t believe he’d dare deceive me."
With that, she took a step onto the barren ground.
