Siblings

"I'm busy training my disciples all day, and she spends all her time at your Prime Minister's Mansion's Residence's Institute of Investigation, so naturally she hasn't seen it."

Old Man Luo said nonchalantly, and as he spoke, he casually asked, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

A hint of amusement flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes as he said with great interest:

"But I heard from my father that you were planning to take your 'disciple' on a journey around the world?"

Old Man Luo frowned slightly upon hearing this:

"Kid, what do you mean by that?"

What do you think it means?

Xu Yuan shrugged and curled his lips into a smile:

"Our Prime Minister's Mansion has ample Cultivation Resources. Is there really any need for you, as a 'disciple,' to travel outside?"

Speaking of this,

Xu Yuan chuckled softly twice, "So, you're thinking of going out now, really not to hide from someone?"

Old Man Luo's face twitched, he looked away, and snorted coldly:

"Why should I avoid her? Why would I avoid her?"

"You're really not going to dodge?"

"Hmph, I have lived an upright and honest life, why should I hide from anyone?"

"Good."

Xu Yuan nodded, clapped his hands, and laughed, "Sister-in-law, aren't you coming out?"

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Old Man Luo slowly turned his gaze to Xu Xinyao, who had brought him there, his eyes filled with confusion and astonishment.

Xu Xinyao silently looked away and whispered:

"Xin Yao needs Senior Xiran's assistance to set up the formation for Third Brother."

"." Old Man Luo.

After a few breaths,

A soft voice gently rang out:

"Brother, it's been a long time."

"..." Old Man Luo's soul turned his head slightly stiffly.

As he turned his head, a beautiful woman in a light blue palace dress appeared in the room, formed from Black Silk Fungal Mat.

Seeing that figure from the depths of his memory reappear before him, even without a physical body, Luo Daofan still felt his heart skip a beat.

Over countless years, everything has vanished with time.

But she is still alive.

That arrogant little girl who followed him around since she was little

An uncontrollable tension began to spread. Luo Daofan opened his mouth, but in the end, he only managed a grin:

"Ah, Xiran, it's been a long time."

Luo Xiran's gaze towards Luo Daofan's soul form was somewhat cold.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan quietly pulled Xu Xinyao, who was about to mediate the fight, to sit on the bed and watch the drama unfold.

His body's Strange Ghost characteristics made him extremely sensitive to the Black Silk Fungal Mat, which is why he sensed Luo Xiran's presence the moment Xu Xinyao entered the room.

As soon as he sat down, before he even started eating, Xu Yuan met Old Man Luo's pleading gaze.

Clearly, this disrespectful old man couldn't handle his younger sister.

In response to that gaze, Xu Yuan simply smiled and opened his mouth at him.

I will not get involved in your siblings' affairs.

"." Old Man Luo

In silence,

Old Man Luo coughed softly, his voice solemn and serious:

"Xiran, you can actually let me explain."

Luo Xiran clenched her fist slightly:

"Explanation? Explain what?"

Old Man Luo's expression remained completely unchanged:

"Whatever you want to hear, I can explain it to you."

Luo Xiran a cold laugh:

"Explain what you just said? Or explain why you betrayed the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion ten thousand years ago? Or have you been secretly concealing your strength and misleading me all along?"

"The letter I left you should have already explained why I chose to betray the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion."

"And what about what you just said?"

"." Old Man Luo.

Luo Xiran stared at her brother, who still looked like a middle-aged scholar, and repeated, word by word:

"What does that woman's life or death have to do with me?"

"I'd be happy to see that woman become like that."

Old Man Luo's eyes began to dart around the room, finally settling on Xu Yuan and Xu Xinyao, who were eating melon seeds. He coughed lightly.

"Ahem, Xiran, let's talk about this later. Let's not make a fool of ourselves in front of outsiders."

Luo Xiran glanced at Xu Yuan, who was suppressing a laugh, then snorted coldly, her thin lips curving slightly, her eyes narrowing:

"Outsiders? How can your close friend and my sworn brother be considered outsiders?"

"."

Old Man Luo felt a long-lost sensation of being drenched in sweat.

From childhood to adulthood, he has always treated the girl in front of him with utmost care, as if she were fragile and delicate.

But is it really necessary for someone who has lived for ten thousand years to apologize to this girl?

Admitting my mistake is impossible; it's never going to happen in my life.

"Senior Xiran, Senior Luo was just saying that to hide his true feelings. He even sent someone to the Institute of Investigation to inquire about you before."

Xu Xinyao's soft voice suddenly rang out in the quiet room.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan, who was engrossed in watching the drama unfold, turned around and glared at Xu Xinyao.

It's so amusing to see this disrespectful old man Luo Daofan, get so humiliated, and you actually helped him out?

Meeting Xu Yuan's gaze, Xu Xinyao pursed her lips and lowered her voice:

"That's how they are as older brothers; they say one thing and do another."

"."

Xu Yuan felt he was being subtly insulted and wanted to refute it, but felt that refuting it would only make him seem arrogant.

Well, anyway, this girl has more than one brother.

They must be talking about Xu Changge, that cold-faced, domineering CEO.

Standing in the center of the room, Luo Xiran hearing this. She fell silent for a moment, then let out a cold snort:

"Forget it, you've always been this way, and you'll never change, not even in ten thousand years."

Old Man Luo breathed a long sigh of relief upon hearing this, finally managing to fool her. He gave Xu Xinyao an appreciative look, then coldly glanced at Xu Yuan, and whispered:

"Xiran, I haven't asked you yet, how did you spend these ten thousand years? And where were you hiding? I haven't heard from you since the Great Cataclysm of the Strange Ghost."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiran's eyes showed a hint of doubt:

"You do not know?"

"What?" Old Man Luo was also puzzled.

"."

After a brief exchange of glances, seeing the genuine look in her brother's eyes, Luo Xiran abruptly turned to look at the little devil sitting on the bed, eating melons with great interest, her eyes flashing with a sharp light:

"You didn't know I've been in the Dead Silence Underground Palace all this time?"

"."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately gasped.

broken.

The siblings need to reconcile their accounts.

Back in the Underground Palace, he pinned many of the blame directly on Old Man Luo.

Without any hesitation, Xu Yuan immediately looked at Old Man Luo.

"?"

Old Man Luo was puzzled for a moment, but his thoughts quickly cleared up and he understood everything.

This kid knows more things than this ancient monster who has lived for ten thousand years; he's probably pinning some things on him again.

Old Man Luo met Xu Yuan's gaze for a moment,

Then,

Look directly up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle.

He can't take the blame for this.
