My Good-for-Nothing Second and Third Senior Brothers

Because of Li Zi's unspoken thoughts, the two of them spent days and nights talking. At last, they cleared up the conflicts that had built between them over the years, and their relationship eased considerably.

Just as they were enjoying their drinks, they heard her.

[I, Hu Hansan, have returned!]

They exchanged a smile.

Well, the girl had come out of seclusion.

Li Zi had reached the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage.

The Sect's Primordial Sage Secret Art linked the acupoints within the body. By circulating energy in a particular pattern, a cultivator could open those acupoints and absorb spiritual energy.

This Heaven Tier art was something else. Cultivating with it brought twice the result for half the effort. At its peak, it could even turn the acupoints into tiny whirlpools with a formidable power to devour energy.

The Myriad Flower Divine Bone was one of the divine-grade Immortal Bones of antiquity. Its cultivation speed went without saying, but more importantly, it could connect its bearer to the rhythms governing all things.

The sun rose and set.

The seasons brought forth life.

Li Zi was only at the Qi Refining Stage, yet simply standing there, she seemed able to sense the breathing rhythm of all creation.

She lightly touched a plant with her finger and circulated her Spiritual Power.

The plant grew rapidly, until at last it produced a flower bud.

[Host, the cultivation you got from taking pills won't do. From now on, you'll have to cultivate on your own.]

Li Zi rolled her eyes. [Enough talk. Hurry up and redeem the Seven-Orifice Exquisite Heart for me.]

The system's cheerful voice rang out. [Redemption successful! Host, try it out.]

Li Zi sat cross-legged in the courtyard of her cave dwelling.

As the art circulated through her body, four acupoints became whirlpools, ravenously devouring the Spiritual Power around her.

Li Zi focused all her attention on keeping that energy circulating.

She merged every trace of spiritual energy she absorbed with her own Spiritual Power.

[Host, can you feel it? The system didn't pick at random this time. The effect should be pretty good.]

Li Zi checked. [Where? Why can't I feel anything?]

The system changed the subject at once. [Host, you might not know this, but Ran Zirou has returned to the Sect. What's more, your Second Senior Brother and third senior brother were the ones who brought her back.]

My Good-for-Nothing Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother

At that, Li Zi forgot all about cultivating and anxiously asked the system, [What happened? How did those three end up together?]

How had she forgotten? Ran Zirou had been reborn.

Now that she had been reborn, she certainly wouldn't let Ji Zheng's Pure Yang Physique or Li Zi's Myriad Flower Divine Bone slip away.

And now that Marrow Cleansing had awakened Li Zi's Myriad Flower Divine Bone, a powerful cultivator who found her could tear the bone right out of her body.

Right now, she was practically a human vessel for carrying bones!

[Your Second Senior Brother and third senior brother have been training on Cragstone Mountain lately, honing their Martial Arts Techniques. As it happened, they rescued Ran Zirou while fighting a Spirit Beast. The three of them grew close, and your brothers brought her back a few days ago.]

Li Zi's heart trembled with fear.

[No, wait... You three should just focus on acting out your love triangle. Why did you have to bring her home?]

The system had an even bigger shock for her.

[Oh, Ran Zirou is already on her way to see you.]

Li Zi went rigid.

Why was the heroine always fixated on her?

Couldn't Ran Zirou spend that time cultivating instead?

Besides, hadn't Ran Zirou's godmother taken her away? How had she managed to come back?

Meanwhile, the two Sect Masters who had been about to visit Li Zi stopped dead in their tracks.

The Hehuan Sect Master frowned. "Senior brother, Ran Zirou has been staying with Ziyang all this time. But a few days ago, Ziyang and her Dao companion went out to gather Spirit Medicine. That gave Ran Zirou the chance to slip away."

The Spirit Sword Sect Master's gaze sharpened.

"I've long suspected we didn't seal the Demon Prince completely. A wisp of that fiend's soul escaped. I also suspect Ran Zirou has some connection to him. After all, that Dual Cultivation art is something found only in the Demon Realm."

The Hehuan Sect Master nodded, worry flickering in his eyes.

"So we just let her prance around under our noses? What if she hurts little Zi?"

In just one month,

Li Zi's importance had become clear.

The Thunder God Hall Sect Master had reconciled with his wife, and the two were back to their shamelessly affectionate ways.

The Medicine King Sect Master had rescued his son and avenged his wife and master. He had also cleared his name within the Sect, after nearly having his reputation ruined in his later years by a fake son.

After returning, the Five Elements Sect Master had begun training Meng Ning. To his surprise, she truly possessed the exceedingly rare Azure Lotus Yin Body. The Five Elements Sect was about to produce another peerless genius!

All the Sects that had visited the Secret Realm last time knew they could hear the unspoken thoughts of a female disciple from the Spirit Sword Sect.

They had even sought out the Spirit Sword Sect and held a group meeting with its Spirit Sword Sect Master.

At that meeting, the Medicine King Sect Master, the Thunder God Hall Sect Master, and the Five Elements Sect Master all declared that they would protect Li Zi unconditionally. Anyone who tried to harm her would be making an enemy of them.

To everyone's surprise, the perpetually gloomy Hall of Samsara Sect Master said, "Me too."

If not for Li Zi, the Hall of Samsara Sect Master would never have known someone had used him as a spear.

Li Zi's existence might be dangerous, but he was stubborn to a fault. She had saved him, and that was that. Whoever killed Li Zi, he would kill in turn.

Add the Spirit Sword Sect and the Hehuan Sect,

and at least five Sects had pledged to protect Li Zi. For the moment, that kept those with guilty consciences from making a move.

And so they reached an agreement.

From then on, they would secretly listen to Li Zi's unspoken thoughts without letting her catch the slightest hint of it.

Ever since the Hehuan Sect Master had reconciled with the Spirit Sword Sect Master, he had treasured Li Zi dearly.

The man was a closed book. He wasn't handsome either, and his face looked downright sly. No one would know about his good deeds, no matter how many he did. Li Zi could speak for him.

The Spirit Sword Sect Master laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"Junior brother, how did I never notice what a kind heart you have? Don't worry. I'm keeping an eye on her."
