Meng Liangmiao's True Face

The final bolt of lightning struck.

The clouds finally grew quiet.

Meng Xiuchen lay on the ground, unable to move, his face blackened and smoke curling from his mouth.

The rest of the Meng family collapsed onto the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Meng Qing's face was pale, his hands and feet shaking, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

The earth-shattering commotion here had also attracted the attention of others in the Immortal Realm.

A group of people ran towards them.

Meng Qing vanished in a flash.

From behind, Lu Zhiyuan arrived in a hurry, riding a flying beast.

Seeing this scene, he stopped his flying beast in surprise.

The flying beast immediately lay down, panting with its tongue hanging out, clearly exhausted.

He exclaimed in surprise, "Anli? This..."

Meng Anli's bloodthirsty smile vanished, and she mumbled an explanation, "Lu Yao is fine."

"Child, you're the one who's hurt."

He quickly walked up to her, pulling out a handkerchief. "Your aunt gave this to me. It's clean, wipe yourself quickly. It must hurt a lot, right? I have medicine here."

Meng Anli's eyes welled up slightly. "I didn't feel it hurting just now."

At this moment, it suddenly started to hurt.

Was she being too dramatic?

"Anli!" Lu Yao rushed over with the disciples of Gui Class, surrounding her.

"How are you?"

Guang Ling looked at the blood all over her body and gritted his teeth, saying, "The Meng family is truly insane!"

Mo Ziqian produced a pill. "This is to stop the bleeding. Take it quickly."

Meng Anli lowered her eyes, obscuring the redness in them.

Her face was deathly pale, her lips stained with blood, and she had numerous visible injuries, large and small, some still bleeding.

Looking down with her eyes lowered like this made people's hearts ache.

The most tragic part was that these injuries were inflicted by her own family.

The atmosphere was heavy with grief.

Guang Ling feigned a lighthearted tone, "Take it quickly. Getting something from Ziqian is not easy, you know."

Mo Ziqian shot him a glare. "Am I that stingy?"

The other disciples of Gui Class echoed in unison, "Yes!"

"Pfft~" Meng Anli let out a laugh, and her tightly strung nerves suddenly relaxed. "Then I'll take it."

But before she could take it, her legs went soft, and she fainted.

"Anli!"

Lu Yao quickly caught her.

The others also gathered around anxiously.

Lu Zhiyuan said with concern, "Give her some space."

Guang Ling quickly signaled for others to step back.

Mo Ziqian poured the pill into Lu Yao's hand.

Lu Yao placed it by Meng Anli's mouth. "Anli, open your mouth and take the medicine."

However, Meng Anli's mouth was tightly shut, as if she were enduring immense pain with great difficulty.

Guang Ling said anxiously, "Should we pry it open?"

"Are you crazy?" Lu Yao placed her hand on Meng Anli's pulse, her large eyes instantly turning red. "The fire poison has destroyed her internal organs, she has multiple bone-deep wounds, broken ribs, and several fractures."

"Damn it, are the Meng family even human?"

Guang Ling, enraged, delivered a kick to Meng Xiuchen, who had just woken up. He immediately passed out again.

The smile on Mo Ziqian's face had long since vanished. "Just because Anli defeated Meng Xiuchen in a spar, he held a grudge and intended to kill her."

"Why are the Mengs so wicked?"

"Anli is their own sister."

"Anli didn't even injure him during the spar, yet he brought the Meng family to try and kill her."

The surrounding immortals were also horrified.

"The Meng family is relentless. Their eldest brother attacked before, and now their third brother is attacking. Is there any way for Anli to survive?"

"Anli is truly pitiful."

"..."

Lu Zhiyuan said urgently, "Daughter, quickly take Anli back and bandage her wounds."

"Mm."

She wanted to help Anli up.

Guang Ling said, "I'll carry her on my back."

Lu Yao choked back a sob, "Her ribs are broken, you can't carry her on your back."

"Then I'll hold her."

"Be careful of her leg, her leg is also fractured." Lu Yao placed her into Guang Ling's arms.

Guang Ling carefully held her.

The other members of the Gui Class surrounded him as they left.

They left behind the enraged immortals, cursing the Meng family, cursing Meng Xiuchen.

After they had all left, Meng Qing appeared, holding a corner of Meng Xiuchen's clothes, and took him back to the Meng family.

When he carefully placed Meng Xiuchen in the main hall.

Meng Liangmiao excitedly stood up, "Brought him here?"

"Yes..."

Before Meng Qing could finish speaking, Meng Liangmiao kicked Meng Xiuchen in the ribs.

Crack~

A crisp sound.

Meng Xiuchen whimpered in pain.

"It's not Meng Anli?" Meng Liangmiao flipped him over, seeing him like this, he looked up and questioned, "Why is it Xiuchen? Where is Meng Anli?"

Meng Qing recounted the events of that moment.

Meng Xiuchen's gloomy, pale face instantly became even paler.

"Many immortals saw it?"

He thought of the last time it was because of gossip that he ended up in this state.

He anxiously got up and asked Meng Qing, "What about you?"

Meng Qing calmly replied, "I was worried someone would recognize me, so I went into hiding before they arrived. After they left, I came out and brought the third young master back."

"Good." Meng Liangmiao's face broke into a smile. "That's good."

Meng Qing lowered his eyes.

He had been by the eldest young master's side for over ten years and knew his temper well.

He appeared to be gentle and kind.

But...

Meng Liangmiao further instructed him, "Lu Zhiyuan will surely make a fuss again, and Xiuchen was seen by everyone, leaving him with no room to argue. You should spread the word that everything was Xiuchen's own idea."

Meng Qing had anticipated this and was not surprised.

"Yes."

Meng Qing bowed his head in agreement and turned to leave.

He had wondered before if someone like the eldest young master would really save him when he was a cripple.

Would he really bring him food and medicine every day?

He remembered what the eldest young lady had said.

He felt that such a resilient and kind young lady might actually save him.

He had to find out.

Inside the house, when Meng Xiuchen woke up, he happened to hear his eldest brother's last words.

He couldn't believe it, "Big Brother?"

Meng Liangmiao gently helped him up.

"Third brother, I've wronged you, but you've been seen by everyone. Big brother has been through something like this before, and it was impossible to explain. Even if I asked the Crown Prince to find the Heavenly Emperor, but... you saw the result."

"Seen by everyone?"

Meng Liangmiao recounted what happened after he fainted.

Meng Xiuchen was so angry he cursed, "Meng Anli, truly despicable!"

"Yes, now your second brother's inner core is gone. If I lie low carefully, there's still a chance to make a comeback. I can't get involved anymore, so I can only wrong you."

Meng Xiuchen had no choice but to swallow this bitter fruit, and his hatred for Meng Anli grew even stronger.

"Meng Anli, we're mortal enemies!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he clutched his chest and hissed in pain.

"You rest first, I'll go call the Medicine Immortal."

Meng Liangmiao left and saw Meng Zhao standing by the door.

Meng Zhao, with a cold expression, blankly called out, "Big Brother."

Meng Liangmiao paused, "Don't take what I said to heart. We've all suffered at Meng Anli's hands, we need to stick together."

"I know," Meng Zhao looked at him and added with icy eyes, "Big Brother."

"Mm."

Meng Liangmiao left in a hurry.

Meng Zhao listened to Meng Xiuchen's wails from inside and cursed, "Useless."

Then he also turned and left.
