“Xue’er, why do you still have hope for those two ingrates? The patriarch of the Lu family treated them so well, but the two of them did something crazy like killing their own kind. If it weren’t for the patriarch of the Lu family protecting them back then, they would have been executed long ago! How could they have left alive? Now, they’re even playing the blame game and returning kindness with ingratitude. They’re simply heartless!” Xuanyuan Wei said angrily, as if she was the one who was repaid with ingratitude.
Lu Xue lowered her eyes and looked a bit sad. “Third Cousin and Fourth Cousin are members of the Lu family after all. How can they be unrelated just like that?”
After a pause, she continued, “Third Cousin and the others might have some misunderstanding about Eldest Brother and me, so they said those heartless words. But it’s fine. The misunderstanding will be resolved one day. I won’t blame them, because in my heart, they’ll always be my cousins.”
Lu Xue spoke with sincerity, which made Xuanyuan Wei feel even more indignant for her and angry that Lu Yifeng and his brother didn’t know what was good for them.
Lu Xing glanced at his sister without a trace and said cooperatively, “Forget it. Since our two cousins don’t like us, why should we go up and make things difficult for them? Besides, at such a sensitive time, they might even think that we have other motives.”
“What ulterior motive? The Lu family raised the two of them for so many years. Isn’t it worth a few air-transportation spiritual weapons?” Xuanyuan Wei didn’t notice anything wrong at all and blurted out that she felt sorry for the Lu siblings.
On the other hand, Xuanyuan Fan, who had gradually calmed down, had a glint in his eyes. Then, he looked at Lu Xing meaningfully.
“Imperial Sister, that’s the Lu family’s family matter after all. It’s not suitable for outsiders to talk about it,” Xuanyuan Fan said calmly and found an excuse to leave the tent.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Wei was both angry and helpless, feeling like she was suffocating herself to death.
Lu Xing and Lu Xue looked at each other silently and didn’t say anything else.
A day later, there was a rumor about Lu Yizhe and his brother in the mystic realm, and it was about to become more and more intense.
Outside the cave where the members of the Martial Arts Department were.
Everyone sat in a circle, feeling extremely angry for Lu Yifeng and his brother.
“What nonsense are those bastards spreading? Senior Brother Yizhe and Yifeng aren’t that kind of people!”
“I think someone must have spread these rumors on purpose.”
“That’s right. Perhaps it was caused by Lu Xing and Lu Xue. After all, Senior
Brother Yizhe and Senior Brother Yifeng didn’t treat them well before.”
“No way? That Lu Xue looks like an otherworldly dairy. She would actually do such a thing? You really can’t judge a book by its cover!”
“Pfft… Are you trying to make me laugh to death? Lu Xue is otherworldly? This is simply the biggest joke in the cultivation world!”
“That’s right. If Lu Xue was really otherworldly, she wouldn’t have gotten involved with Prince Fan even though he already had a wife. About a year ago, I met them and heard with my own ears that the prince said that they would reduce Shi Ningning to the position of second consort and marry Lu Xue as the main consort in a glorious manner. At that time, Lu Xue was already intimate with the prince.”
“Huh? No way? This is a really explosive piece of news. I wonder how Shi Ningning, Consort Fan, will react when she finds out about this.”
“Ah! I thought of a way. We can spread this piece of news and attract those people’s attention.. Then, won’t the rumors about Senior Brother Yifeng and Senior Brother Yizhe fade?”
