What He Was Showing Off Was Just Too Bizarre

As soon as Lu Zixuan heard her younger brother's voice, she knew he must have something he wanted to brag about to her again.

That kid deserved a beating since he was a kid!

It's a pity her younger brother isn't here, so she really can't beat him up.

If you really want to come here, that would be perfect. She can beat you up for as many days as you stay!

Her father was right; you have to discipline your younger brother when he's still small, because it's not so easy to discipline him when he's older.

"Zixuan, are you sure?" Xu Yunyi was starting to feel sorry for Lu Zhengran.

Lu Zixuan nodded seriously.

Xu Yunyi had no choice but to hand over the Sound Transmission Jade Slip slip to Lu Zixuan.

Over at the Immortal Ruins.

Xu Xuanyu had already handed the Sound Transmission Jade Slip to Lu Zhengran. At this moment, he looked at Lu Zhengran, who had come specially dressed in armor, and secretly shook his head.

Kid, when you actually go over there, you'll realize how much you regret not choosing your dad...

He was just about to go to sleep when Lu Zhengran returned from the Green Mountain Academy. Knowing about his situation, he rushed over to visit him.

Lu Zhengran comforted him and, after confirming that he was not in mortal danger, suddenly asked him to help transmit a message to the Demon Domain Realm.

He originally didn't want to help Lu Zhengran transmit his voice, but after thinking about it, he realized that he would be going to the Demon Domain soon, and then his little nephew would no longer be able to transmit his voice there.

Because his second sister no longer answers his eldest sister's telepathic messages; his previous incident had completely severed ties between the two sisters.

He was prepared to leave without saying goodbye; there was no other way. If he informed his older sister, he might not be able to make it over there.

Xu Xuanyu then glanced at the group of young men and women sitting next to Lu Zhengran.

Indeed, Lu Zhengran also brought three men and two women with him. They were all around fourteen or fifteen years old and looked like they came from wealthy and powerful families in the Immortal Ruins.

It must be a friend Lu Zhengran met at the Green Mountain Academy.

"Hey, spit it out."

Lu Zixuan's voice rang out from the Sound Transmission Jade Slip that Lu Zhengran had placed on the table.

Upon Lu Zhengran's lips curled into a smile, "Sis! Did you miss me?"

"I've thought about it," Lu Zixuan said.

"Really?!" Lu Zhengran in surprise.

Lu Zixuan: "Yeah, I want to beat you up! Does this count as wanting to?"

Lu Zhengran: "..."

"Hmph, even if you wanted to beat me up now, you might not be strong enough to withstand my attack!"

After regaining his senses, Lu Zhengran said smugly.

"Ha, beating you is no different than beating a dog; one finger from me is enough."

"Tch! You're bragging again! Let's put it this way, even if my cultivation level is higher than yours, just look at me wearing the tenth-grade treasure armor my mother just gave me. I could stand still and let you beat me up, and you wouldn't be able to do anything to me!"

Lu Zhengran patted his armor, making a crisp sound, and the expression on his face clearly showed what it meant to like something.

"What a coincidence, my father also commissioned a set of armor for me, providing all-around protection from head to toe. Even Peak Great Emperor Realm expert couldn't touch me. Can your armor defend against the Peak Great Emperor Realm expert?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhengran's lips twitched.

The young men and women sitting opposite Lu Zhengran were stunned when they heard this.

How could it possibly withstand the armor of the Peak Great Emperor Realm expert?!

Is this for real?!

"Sis! Will you die if you don't brag for a day?! Even a tenth-grade supreme armor can't defend against the full power of the Peak Great Emperor Realm! You're getting more and more illogical with each boast!"

Lu Zhengran truly felt a sense of defeat.

It's not because of my ability, but because I'm not as good at bragging as my older sister!

That's quite a boast!

Who did he learn this from?!

If there were a bragging contest, his sister would absolutely take first place by a landslide!

Lu Zixuan's face was full of disdain as she said, "You're a bit ignorant, aren't you? Isn't it possible that above the tenth-grade supreme level, there's another level that no one else has ever heard of?"

As she spoke, she revealed the armor she was wearing.

This armor, made of a special metal, can become invisible. When invisible, it's as if you're not wearing anything at all, which is truly amazing.

This is clearly no longer as simple as the tenth-grade supreme level.

Lu Zhengran: "..."

"Fine! I give up! I can't outdo you in bragging! I'm not going to talk to you about armor anymore! I have something else to tell you!"

"Alright, go ahead and say it!" Lu Zixuan wondered what her younger brother wanted to show off next.

"Hey little brothers and sisters, come on, call her Big Sister!"

Lu Zhengran smiled and raised the Sound Transmission Jade Slip, signaling the three men and two women sitting opposite him to get to work.

"Hello, Big Sister!!" the three men and two women shouted earnestly.

"Sis! Did you hear that?! I've only been cultivating at the Green Mountain Academy for a short time, hehe, and I accidentally gained five little brothers and sisters! Now I'm their big brother, and you, naturally, are their big sister!"

Lu Zhengran really enjoyed himself this time.

Head held high.

I've always been the younger brother, but now I'm finally the big brother!

This sense of accomplishment is really great!

Lu Zixuan: "..."

Seeing his sister remain silent, Lu Zhengran's smile grew even more smug. Finally, something had made his sister unable to keep up her bragging, so he quickly continued, "Sister, the little brothers and sisters I've taken in this time are all young masters and ladies from the major powers in the Immortal Ruins! You should have heard of the Frost-Defying Pavilion and Yellow Imperial Hall, right? The young masters of those two powers are my underlings! Come on, you two little brothers, call me 'Big Sister' again!"

"Big sister!!" the two exclaimed in unison.

Xu Xuanyu: "..."

Xu Yunyi: "..."

The two adults listening to Lu Zhengran's words were utterly speechless.

Are all kids these days this strange?

Recruiting followers...

Lu Zixuan also fell silent.

My younger brother, is he out of his mind?!

She thought her younger brother was going to show off something, but instead, he ended up showing off by recruiting a follower...

Looks like he's gotten cocky since he hasn't been beaten up by her in a long time!

"Wow, you've put away your underlings!" Lu Zixuan said speechlessly.

"Haha, it's nothing special! After all, Mother's talent and strength are undeniable! You don't know, just recently, so many young masters and ladies from various powerful families have come to me to call me their elder brother, I can't even keep up with them all!"

He didn't know what had happened, but he figured it must be related to his mother!

Perhaps it was because my mother was too famous?

Upon hearing this, Xu Xuanyu's expression became even more strange.

Zhengran, if I'm not mistaken, it must have been shortly after I was crippled that you were able to recruit followers like this...

It's likely that many forces, large and small, in the Immortal Ruins are speculating that it was his eldest sister who crippled Huangfu Qi and his son.

So he made a decisive decision to try to establish a relationship with his older sister through other channels.

Among them, Lu Zhengran still a child and is easier to fool.

The fact that these five people are coming back with Lu Zhengran is probably at the behest of their elders.

Thinking of this, he shook his head.

This kid got used and is even helping the guy count the money...
