Beating Up Her Little Brother

She didn't want to lie to the child.

How old are you? Still lying to children like this.

Thinking of this, she glared at Xiao Qingyi again, which reminded Xiao Qingyi of the bad experiences he had had with Xue Tianfei in the past, and he quickly stopped pretending.

"Ahem, kid, we were just playing with you, haha, hahaha." Xiao Qingyi patted Lu Zhengran on the shoulder.

Upon Lu Zhengran felt as if he had been electrocuted again, and he fell silent.

His face flushed, and his eyes turned a little red.

They're all treating me like a fool!

That's so unfair!

"Dad, you kept it from me too..." Lu Zhengran looked at his father pitifully, and he couldn't help but recall the words his father had said to his uncle at the beginning.

We grew up wearing the same pair of pants!

How could they not have grown up wearing the same pair of pants?!

Lu Qing'an laughed and said, "I've practically made it clear to you, but you just didn't understand, so you can't blame anyone else."

"I give up." Xue Tianfei rolled her eyes at Lu Qing'an, then stared at Lu Zhengran and smiled, "Child, come here, Aunt Xue prepared some gifts for you after knowing you were coming!"

"A gift? What gift?" Lu Zhengran's aggrieved expression lessened considerably.

Xue Tianfei took out several items and handed them to Lu Zhengran.

"I asked your father and uncle, and learned that the older you get, the more you want to become a sword cultivator. So, I've prepared three things for you."

When Lu Zhengran was young, he and Lu Zixuan talked about wanting to become sword cultivators, but even learning simple sword moves took them a long time.

As time went by, he suddenly became very interested in sword cultivation, so a few years ago he switched to sword techniques and grew to love them more and more as he practiced.

I also particularly enjoy watching battle footage recorded by powerful sword masters.

"The first item is the sword case. This sword case has a special space inside that can store many long swords and short swords. Carrying this sword case can also help you refine your sword energy!"

"The second thing is that there are a large number of sword technique manuals here in the Demon Domain, a full ten thousand of them."

"The third thing is the top-tier token of the Demon Domain Saber Cultivator Alliance. I've registered you into the Saber Cultivator Alliance. Moreover, through the array on this token, you can watch battle recordings left by many powerful blade cultivators."

Lu Zhengran hearing this.

He stared blankly at Xue Tianfei.

These... they were all given to me?!

That hit the nail on the head!

"Thank you, Aunt Xue!!!" Lu Zhengran shouted, quickly accepting the gift.

Lu Qing'an glanced at Xue Tianfei: "You must have spent a lot of money, right?"

Xue Tianfei smiled and said, "What does it matter how much money it costs? As long as the child is happy, that's all that matters."

"Remember your Aunt Xue's kindness. These things are worth at least a billion Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone from the Immortal Ruins," Lu Qing'an said.

Lu Zhengran just accepted the gift when he suddenly heard his father's words, and his movements abruptly stopped.

I felt like I'd been struck by lightning again.

Ah?!!

Ten billion Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone?!

"Why are you saying all this? Are you trying to put a burden on the child?" Xue Tianfei gave Lu Qing'an a resentful look and transmitted her voice.

Lu Qing'an replied with a smile, "Isn't it just that you want this silly child to accept you as their stepmother? I know my son; this will make him appreciate your goodness even more."

Upon hearing this from Lu Qing'an, Xue Tianfei paused for a moment, then smiled.

He's helping me!!

"Aunt Xue, you really gave this to me? This is so precious..." Lu Zhengran's hands were trembling slightly.

One billion Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone?!

That's terrifying!!

"It's alright, Aunt Xue has plenty of money," Xue Tianfei said with a smile.

"Thank you again, Aunt Xue!" Lu Zhengran said gratefully once more.

"Hmph, you're just being smug after getting the benefits," Lu Zixuan couldn't help but snort.

After accepting Xue Tianfei's gifts, his thoughts returned to what had just happened.

His own father was actually the Eternal Night Demon Emperor!

It will take him a long time to fully process this information!

So, Mother divorced the Eternal Night Demon Emperor for the sake of power?

ah???

Thinking of this, Lu Zhengran's vision blurred.

Recalling the words his mother had spoken before she went into seclusion, his heart was filled with bitterness.

What would Mother think if she found out about this?

He felt a little sorry for his mother.

Will my Dao heart collapse...?

He suddenly realized why his sister and aunt hadn't explained some things clearly when they communicated telepathically.

So that's why...

He felt like a clown again.

"Come here, child, let me reintroduce myself. My name is Xiao Qingyi, you can call me Grandpa Xiao. I am your father's best friend, known as Great Emperor Leixiao!" Xiao Qingyi stopped playing with the child and said with a smile.

"My Wang Duanshan, the Great Emperor Heaven Suppression." Wang Duanshan introduced himself with a smile.

Lu Zhengran let out a deep breath. "Seniors, you guys are so mean..."

I thought the powerful figures from the Demon Domain Realm would be more serious and decisive in their killings.

I never expected them to be so unreliable.

They're bullying the kids!

Seeing her younger brother being surrounded and discussed, Lu Zixuan couldn't help but step forward.

"Come out with me."

Lu Zhengran glanced at his sister and said happily, "Sis, you finally paid attention to me?"

Lu Zixuan ignored Lu Zhengran and walked straight outside.

Lu Zhengran had no choice but to keep up.

"These two kids seem to be at odds." Xiao Qingyi, having been a gossipmonger for many years, could tell at a glance that there was something going on between the two children.

Lu Qing'an remained calm. "It's always been like this since we were little. The relationship between the two siblings may seem strained, but it's actually quite good."

"I have a feeling they're about to fight?" Xue Tianfei said.

"Go ahead and fight. It'll be over soon," Lu Qing'an said.

"Huh? Are you sure this is a good thing?" Xue Tianfei blinked her beautiful eyes.

Lu Qing'an remained silent.

This is the only way to ease the tension between the three children.

His intervention might backfire.

In the courtyard.

Lu Zixuan crossed her arms and squinted at her younger brother.

"Little Clown, weren't you so smug when we were communicating telepathically? Didn't you say you wanted to spar with me after you came here? Come on, how do you want to spar?"

Lu Zhengran: "..."

Sister, you're almost two whole realms ahead of me, how can I compare to you...?

"What, you're all talk and no action in the voice chat, but all timid and submissive in real life?"

Lu Zhengran forced a smile and said, "Alright, let's have a spar!"

"Are you sure?" Lu Zixuan sneered.

Sun Minzi and Lu Miaomiao also came out at this time.

Sun Minzi stepped forward and said, "Zixuan, isn't this inappropriate..."

Lu Miaomiao simply took a small chair and came out, then took out some iced watermelon and popcorn, and sat quietly to the side, waiting to watch the excitement.

"Minzi, you don't need to worry about it, just keep an eye on things from the sidelines," Lu Zixuan said.

Sun Minzi gave a wry smile. Unable to persuade Lu Zixuan otherwise, she could only go and stand next to Lu Miaomiao.

"Miaomiao, is this really okay?"

Lu Miaomiao grinned. "Sister Minzi, you don't need to worry about it. Sister and Second Brother fight all the time, but they're fine afterward."

It was as if she had long been accustomed to this scene.

Sun Minzi: "..."

Lu Zhengran gritted his teeth, took out his weapon, and released his cultivation power, but he didn't move, just stood there in the air.

"Fine! You clown! I won't bully you anymore. I'll suppress my cultivation and reach the same level as you!" After saying that, Lu Zixuan suppressed her cultivation to the First Layer of the Body Integration Realm.

Upon seeing this, Lu Zhengran's face lit up with joy. "Sis! You said it yourself!!"

Seeing that her younger brother's face had suddenly changed from a sour expression to a cheerful one, Lu Zixuan snorted coldly, "I knew you'd react like this! Then I won't feel guilty at all about beating you up! Come on!"

"Alright! I'll show you my newly learned swordsmanship." Lu Zhengran took a deep breath.

But before he even started, he completely deflated.

Suddenly, a crystal appeared in her sister's hand and floated out from her palm.

The crystal emanated an extremely terrifying aura!

Ice threads began to condense in the surrounding void!

The aura of the Peak Great Emperor Realm!!

"No! Sister! What, what is that?!" Lu Zhengran trembled all over.

Locked in by that aura, he felt completely unable to move!

"My treasure? What, can't I use my treasure in a fight?" Lu Zixuan said without any emotion.

Lu Zhengran: "..."
