Lu Jingyi looked down at Ling Feng, who had been thrown in front of her, and said coldly, "Ling Feng, stop making trouble. You're making everyone laugh at us."
Ling Feng braced both hands on the ground and struggled to his feet. "Fine! Fine, Lu Jingyi! You'll regret this!"
He stared at Lu Jingyi, gritting his teeth. "Just you wait!"
Lu Jingyi looked at him, her eyes betraying no emotion.
With that, Ling Feng gave a cold snort, turned, and limped away.
Lu Jingyi turned to Nan Xunran with an apologetic expression. "Young master, I'm sorry you had to see that."
Nan Xunran remained composed. "It's nothing."
After that farce, Nan Xunran had completely lost his earlier interest and no longer wished to stay.
He turned slightly, preparing to leave.
Seeing that Nan Xunran was leaving, no one dared stop him. They all bowed and said, "Take care, young master!"
When Lu Jingyi and Jiang Ruxi saw this, they hurried after him and followed him out through the main gate.
The Lu Clan
When Lu Mingzhou saw them return, he hurriedly pulled Lu Jingyi aside and asked anxiously, "Jing'er, did anything happen?"
Lu Jingyi calmly recounted everything that had happened, leaving nothing out.
After hearing her out, Lu Mingzhou flushed red and roared, "Ling Feng?! Him again! He used to stir up trouble every single day.
"Now that he can cultivate, I thought he'd at least rein himself in a little. I never expected him to be so arrogant that he'd even dare provoke the young master!"
He hurriedly asked, "The young master wasn't angry, was he?"
Lu Jingyi gently shook her head.
Only then did Lu Mingzhou breathe a sigh of relief. "All right, don't disturb the young master."
Lu Jingyi nodded in agreement.
Nan Xunran stayed in his room for an entire day.
Boom! A tremendous pressure burst from the room and enveloped the entire Lu Clan in an instant.
Nan Xunran opened his eyes, the corners of his lips curving slightly.
He had mastered the fourth level of the Chaos Visualization Method.
He felt his control over Chaos Qi grow ever more refined, and the pressure around him increased along with it.
Jiang Ruxi's eyes filled with delight, and her lips curved upward slightly. "Congratulations, Master."
Knock, knock, knock. A sudden knock sounded at the door.
The pressure just now had startled everyone in the Lu Clan into rushing outside Nan Xunran's door, but no one dared step forward to ask about it.
Lu Jingyi hesitated briefly, then stepped forward and asked softly, "Young master?"
A voice came from inside the room. "Enter."
Lu Jingyi slowly entered the room.
Inside, Nan Xunran sat on the edge of the bed, while Jiang Ruxi sat obediently at his feet. His hair was unbound, his silver locks falling loosely around him.
The red beauty mark at the corner of his eye was like a dot of cinnabar, lending him an alluring air.
Lu Jingyi was momentarily transfixed, her gaze fixed on him.
[Lu Jingyi, daughter of destiny, affection increased by 10 points]
[Current affection: 85 points]
He noticed Lu Jingyi's gaze and raised his head slightly. "What is it?"
Lu Jingyi asked in a daze, "Ah... young master, did you break through?"
"I merely made a little progress in my cultivation technique."
"Young master, what realm are you at now?"
"True God Realm Peak."
Hearing this, Lu Jingyi couldn't help drawing a sharp breath. After a long while, she exclaimed, "Wow... are all the Upper Realm's heavenly geniuses that formidable?"
Jiang Ruxi's slender brows rose, and she said displeasedly, "How can you compare those people to Master?"
"Master is several entire realms above others of his generation!"
Jiang Ruxi tilted her head back and gazed at Nan Xunran in a daze.
Her gaze was burning with fervor, as though she were a loyal believer gazing up at her supreme god.
Lu Jingyi asked curiously, "Then what realms are the Upper Realm's heavenly geniuses at?"
Jiang Ruxi answered, "Most are at the Saint Lord Realm, and a few ancient freaks are at the King-Sealing Realm."
Lu Jingyi was filled with shock. She couldn't imagine it—setting Nan Xunran aside, at the same age as her,
even those ordinary heavenly geniuses had already reached the Saint Lord Realm.
In the Lower Realm, someone in such a realm could practically walk sideways, with no one able to stand against them.
This made Lu Jingyi look forward to the Upper Realm even more.
Nan Xunran remained composed as he asked, "Has anything unusual happened outside today?"
She hurriedly answered, "Yes. A secret realm is about to open, and people from the various lineages are all keeping watch there now."
Nan Xunran nodded slightly. "Come on, let's go take a look."
Hearing this, Jiang Ruxi stepped forward to tie up his hair, the silver strands flowing between her fingers.
She then took out a black cloak and draped it gently over Nan Xunran's shoulders, her movements tender.
Afterward, the three of them headed out.
When the people outside saw Nan Xunran emerge, they quickly made way for him.
Lu Jingyi hurriedly told Lu Mingzhou, "The young master is going to that secret realm that's about to open."
Hearing this, Lu Mingzhou quickly turned around. "Come on, we're going with the young master!"
With that, he looked back at Nan Xunran.
Seeing that his expression was calm and he showed no reaction, Lu Mingzhou quietly breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind him without worry.
