Too Many Guests at Home

Xu Xin is also coming over.

Lu Xuan thought that when she offered to compensate him, it was just a casual remark.

He didn't expect her to show up in person.

"It's really lively at home today."

Lu Xuan, as usual, gave his parents the Earth Dragon Essence Liquid and sat beside them, recounting the family's situation.

After a brief check of his parents' physical condition.

He paid the medical fees.

Only then did he feel relieved and bought some things on his way home.

12:00 PM

As Lu Xuan arrived at the entrance of the residential complex, he activated his psychic power for a scan.

As expected, the house was already full of people.

Furthermore, his psychic power detected several individuals with strong vitality roaming the complex.

They were likely Martial Artists protecting Xu Xin, or perhaps Jiang Xi.

Lu Xuan didn't show any signs of alarm and walked upstairs.

Before reaching the door, he adjusted his mindset: "I'm just an ordinary person, someone who has to support the family."

After a moment of self-affirmation, he pushed the door open.

Inside the room, Four women were seated, all turning their heads to look at him simultaneously.

They were all different.

The younger sister, radiating innocence, spoke first: "Brother, you're finally back!"

She ran forward, took the things from Lu Xuan, and then pulled him to introduce him to the others.

First was the woman with a full figure, graceful bearing, and a mature, charming face. Lu Ying smiled and said, "Brother, this is Teacher Shen Liyue, she's also my homeroom teacher."

"Hello, Lu Ying's guardian," Shen Liyue extended her hand, her voice slightly sensual.

"Thank you for making the trip, Teacher. You can just call me Lu Xuan," Lu Xuan replied with a simple, honest smile.

Lu Ying then pointed to another girl, small and delicate, sitting on the sofa like a doll. "Brother, this is the classmate I told you about, Jiang Xi."

"Hello, Brother Lu!"

Jiang Xi giggled, her small face filled with pride, a perfect picture of a mischievous child.

"Hello," Lu Xuan replied indifferently.

He then looked at the last person. He didn't need his sister to introduce her; he smiled and introduced her himself:

"This is Class Monitor Xu Xin."

"She's a top student at Jiangnan Martial University, someone I met in Satellite City No. 3."

"Jiangnan Martial University?!"

Lu Xuan's words were like a bombshell, startling everyone and drawing their attention.

When Xu Xin had arrived earlier, she had only mentioned being Lu Xuan's friend.

She hadn't said she was a student at Jiangnan Martial University.

No wonder she was already a Fifth-order Martial Artist at such a young age.

The Four Top Martial Schools, the Imperial Capital Twin Academies, Modu Martial University, and Jiangnan Martial University.

Being accepted into any of these four institutions meant she had monstrous talent.

"Wow!"

Lu Ying's eyes lit up, and she excitedly grabbed Xu Xin's hand. "Sis-in-law... no, Sister Xu, you're amazing! Jiangnan Martial University has very high admission standards."

"Your talent is also good; you should be able to get into one of the four top universities," Xu Xin praised.

From the moment she entered, Xu Xin had noticed Lu Ying's condition.

Fifteen years old, First-order Martial Artist.

It was hard to imagine that this girl and Lu Xuan were siblings.

One was weak in vitality, the other brimming with it.

She wasn't the only one thinking this; Shen Liyue and Jiang Xi were too.

They had initially assumed that since Lu Ying had high talent, her brother Lu Xuan would at least be a Martial Artist. They hadn't expected him to be an ordinary person, and a frail one at that, with vitality only slightly over 600.

Everyone chatted and got acquainted.

This continued until the food was served.

Once the group was seated at the dining table, Shen Liyue spoke again:

"Lu Xuan, forgive my intrusion."

"But Lu Ying's talent cannot be ignored. My main purpose for coming today is to ask about your plans for Lu Ying's future."

As a teacher, this was the first time she had learned about a student's family situation.

It wasn't that it was particularly good, but it was completely beyond her understanding.

This was truly a phoenix rising from a common nest.

What she feared most was parents who, because their child became a Martial Artist, not only didn't support them but also thought attending university was a waste of money.

"You're already a Martial Artist anyway."

"If you go out into the wilderness for a trip, won't you earn millions when you come back?"

"With that ability, why waste money on studying?"

"Of course, attend a martial arts university!"

Lu Xuan laughed heartily and looked at Xu Xin, saying, "If she can get into Jiangnan Martial University, I'll have to trouble you, Class Monitor Xu, to look after my sister a bit then."

Only when his sister entered a martial arts university could he feel at ease.

She would have no worries about her cultivation.

Shen Liyue nodded with relief upon hearing this. "Don't worry, the school will definitely help select the most suitable university for Xiao Ying. Of course, as you said, it would be even better if Miss Xu could offer some assistance."

Xu Xin smiled. "When I return to school, I can mention it to my teacher, but I don't know if it will be helpful."

Becoming a Martial Artist before the Martial Arts Examination.

It basically guaranteed admission into one of the four major academies. Her saying this was merely a gesture of goodwill, intended to increase Lu Ying's chances of admission.

The conversation flowed quite harmoniously.

During this time, Lu Xuan paid close attention to the emotional changes of the group.

Jiang Xi's reactions were particularly strong.

Every time this kid looked at his sister, there was a hint of malice in her eyes. If it weren't for her powerful Mental Power, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Lu Xuan didn't understand.

Why did she harbor such intense hostility towards his sister?

But Lu Xuan knew one thing.

This woman absolutely could not be kept around!

The meal concluded in this subtle atmosphere.

In the afternoon, After seeing the three women off one by one, Lu Xuan turned back and instructed his sister, "Sis, before the Martial Arts Examination, don't go to school for now. I'll request leave for you. You'll cultivate at home during this period."

"Why?"

Lu Ying asked, confused.

"Our parents' vitality has recovered a lot recently. The doctor said if their children spend more time talking to them, they might wake up at any moment."

"Really? That's wonderful!"

After leaving Lu Xuan's house, Xu Xin boarded a multi-million dollar hovercar and drove deep into the heart of Jinling City.

"Miss, there are no powerful Martial Artists in this neighborhood," the driver reported.

Xu Xin rubbed her temples. "It seems I was overthinking. If even you, a Qi and Blood Martial Master, can't sense anyone, then they must be ordinary people."

But how could such an ordinary person...

...have a sister with such high talent?

Xu Xin was perplexed and confused.

Ever since Lu Xuan had safely survived a night in the wilderness, she had suspected that he might not be an ordinary person.

A normal person would have certainly died encountering Monsters in the wilderness, even with a combat suit. Yet, Lu Xuan not only survived but also showed no signs of psychological trauma from encountering Monsters, which was illogical.

There were too many suspicious points.

To the extent that she suspected Lu Xuan was the Ghost Face Martial Artist who appeared in Ruins City.

"Miss, should we continue to observe?" the driver asked.

Xu Xin put down the investigation files and shook her head. "Since he's an ordinary person, there's no need to waste any more time."

"However, the other party's sister is indeed a promising talent. We should try our best to bring her to the Imperial Capital. The family will need such pillars in the future."

"Yes!"

The hovercar completely disappeared into the distance.

On the roadside where they had been, a supercar was parked. Looking at the receding hovercar, the two people inside the supercar couldn't help but look grim.

"This woman's background is not simple."

Jiang Xi pulled up some information, displaying Xu Xin's basic details. "She's from the Imperial Capital. Even though she's only a Fifth-order Martial Artist now, she managed to kill a High-level Monster during the last Jiangnan Martial University training."

"It seems the meat we ate today included High-level Monster meat."

She recalled the monster meat she had eaten at Lu Xuan's house.

Shen Liyue gripped the steering wheel, staring ahead, and said, "Putting this woman aside for now, Lu Ying has already broken through to become a Martial Artist. It will be difficult to recruit her into the Holy Cult, but it's not impossible..."

She let out a sinister laugh, started the supercar, and continued, "Her brother is the best bargaining chip."

"We'll threaten her with her brother, forcing her to join the Holy Cult. We won't even need to damage her martial arts foundation."

"Great!"

Jiang Xi chuckled, "I love threatening people the most, especially geniuses like her... Our earnings this year have been quite good. We've already recruited over thirty talented individuals for the Holy Cult."

Vroom--!

The supercar roared and disappeared at the end of the street.

Lu Xuan stood by the window, watching the two groups of people leave. He muttered, "Jiang Xi, this person has other forces behind her, otherwise she wouldn't be targeting my sister. The email last time mentioned that the one who harmed my sister was a pharmaceutical company... I need to find an opportunity to investigate this company. If they are indeed involved, I must deal with them as soon as possible."

Now that his psychic power had broken through, it was time for him to find ways to earn more money.

He needed his vitality and martial strength to keep up.

"Next, I need to cultivate martial skills. I must find a martial skill to practice first."

"Brother."

As he was lost in thought, Lu Ying called out from behind him, "Are you coming with me to the Federation Martial Artist Association? Teacher said everyone who breaks through to become a Martial Artist must register there. She also said I can do virtual combat inside, so I don't have to train in the wild."

Virtual combat?

Lu Xuan repeated in his mind, then clapped his hands. "That's right, I can completely use virtual combat to cultivate my martial skills."
