Two Versions of the Story
The rain poured down relentlessly, and Xu Xuanyu, lying on the ground, was still bleeding profusely. Washed by the rain, he looked utterly miserable.
Upon seeing this scene, Xu Qingying's mind went blank, and she went crazy, quickly moving closer and channeling Spiritual Qi into her younger brother.
After examining him, her expression turned icy. She discovered that her younger brother was still alive, but his meridians were severed, his Dantian was completely destroyed, and his cultivation was ruined; he was now a cripple!
"Who! Who is it?!"
Xu Qingying suddenly unleashed the aura of the Great Emperor Realm, instantly shattering the surrounding houses into dust.
She coldly surveyed her surroundings.
At that moment, there were three people standing nearby.
They are the head of the Nangong Household, Nangong Yun, the head of the Huangfu Household, and Huangfu Qi!
The head of the Nangong Household also looked very grim, gripping his daughter's shoulders tightly with his hands.
Faced with Xu Qingying's question, the Huangfu Household head frowned, took a deep breath, and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu, please don't be angry. Please listen to our explanation..."
Before his father could finish speaking, Huangfu Qi stepped forward, his face cold, and said, "Master! It's me!"
The head of the Huangfu Household quickly glanced at his son, clicked his tongue, and at that moment began to stare intently at Xu Qingying Xu Qingying, wary of her making a move.
Xu Qingying really decides to take action, then there's nothing he can do!
Xu Qingying hurriedly fed Xu Xuanyu Xu Xuanyu pill, completely saving his life. Then, her cold gaze fell on her newly initiated disciple, her fists clenched.
At that moment, a murderous intent emanated from her, instantly causing the rain to stop abruptly!
An Emperor Position halo appeared behind Xu Qingying, indicating she was preparing to make a move.
But at this crucial moment, a figure appeared out of nowhere beside Xu Qingying and reached out to stop Xu Qingying.
"Disciple! Stop! If you lay a hand on me, the whole plan will be ruined!!"
Upon hearing this telepathic message, Xu Qingying responded angrily, "What about my brother?!"
"Listen to your master! I'll handle this! You must stay calm! Those who achieve great things don't act impulsively! Besides, your brother isn't dead yet!!"
Lin Qingxue's telepathic message resonated in Xu Qingying's mind.
Perhaps Lin Qingxue's telepathic message was too heavy, because Xu Qingying's rationality regained its dominance.
She glanced at her younger brother, gritted her teeth, and endured it, quickly continuing to channel Spiritual Qi into him.
Seeing that Xu Qingying had calmed down, Lin Qingxue Xu Qingying breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and looked at the three people present. "Fellow Daoists! I need a satisfactory answer from you! What exactly happened here!"
Seeing that a fight hadn't broken out, the Huangfu Household head slightly reduced his hostility, then cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin! Let me explain what happened here in detail!"
He speaks in a way that is very rational, clear, and exceptionally convincing.
The gist of the story is that Xu Xuanyu, after drinking, suddenly came here, found Nangong Yun, confessed his feelings to her, and insisted on eloping Nangong Yun Nangong Yun.
However, Huangfu Qi happened to see this and intervened. After being stopped, the drunk Huang Xuanyu overestimated his abilities and tried to kill Huangfu Qi.
In the end, Huangfu Qi had no choice but to take action, but unfortunately, he was young and impetuous and did not know his limits, resulting in such a severe beating.
"That's how it is! My son certainly didn't think things through, and he was wrong in that respect! But when it comes to dignity, it's difficult for a young person to remain rational... As for whether what I said is questionable, Fellow Daoist Lin can ask Fellow Daoist Nangong!"
The head of the Huangfu Household glanced at the head of the Nangong Household. A tacit understanding flashed in their eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Lin! Things are indeed as Fellow Daoist Huangfu said!" said the head of the Nangong Household.
Xu Qingying could indeed smell a faint odor of alcohol on her younger brother, and she frowned deeply. She then quickly looked at Nangong Yun and asked in a low voice, "Disciple! Tell me, is the situation true?!"
Nangong Yun stood there like a wooden statue, her body trembling slightly. Only after Xu Qingying asked her a question did she come back to her senses and glance at her father.
The head of the Nangong Household gave his daughter a deep look.
Nangong Yun bit her lip, glanced at Xu Xuanyu again, her eyes still a little red, but in the end she made her decision, lowered her head and nodded gently twice.
"Yes..."
Xu Qingying fell silent. All the anger in her heart had nowhere to go.
Lin Qingxue didn't care whether the story was true or not; this was the best outcome for her!
Xu Xuanyu didn't die either, and if that's really the case, then she's not afraid that Xu Qingying will lose her mind.
"Disciple, while Little Qi has made mistakes, Xuanyu has made even greater ones. Let's prioritize the bigger picture! Right now, both of us need both families!"
Lin Qingxue's voice entered Xu Qingying's mind.
Xu Qingying, who had been clenching her fists, finally relaxed them.
She gave up her entire family, she gave up so much, all for that future...
"Master, I'm taking my brother back first!"
She picked up Xu Xuanyu and flew towards home.
Lin Qingxue completely relaxed.
One day later.
The rain had stopped, but the sky remained overcast.
Inside a quaint, antique-style room.
Xu Xuanyu struggled for a long time before finally opening his heavy eyelids.
"Little brother!" Xu Qingying called out with concern.
Xu Yuxuan opened his eyes and saw his sister. He was stunned for a moment, and then a memory that made him angry surge into his mind, and his face instantly contorted into a ferocious expression.
But soon, his face was covered with a blank expression.
"Me! Where is my cultivation?! No! Impossible! How could my cultivation be gone?!"
Xu Qingying didn't know what to say at that moment, so she could only hold Xu Xuanyu's hand.
"Xuanyu, calm down..."
"Sis! What's wrong with me?!"
"You... you have problems with your Dantian and meridians..." At this point, Xu Qingying quickly looked at an elderly man with white hair standing to the side.
The old man was wearing a green robe with a Pill Cauldron painted on his chest.
He is the strongest Alchemist in the Immortal Ruins.
"Fellow Daoist Chen! Is there any possibility that my brother can recover his cultivation?"
The old man frowned, pondered for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, please find someone else. I don't have a solution right now. Perhaps you could give me some time to study it further. Now that your younger brother's condition has stabilized, I'll take my leave."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xuanyu froze on the bed.
It's ruined?!
He ruined himself?!
But this feeling didn't linger in his mind for long, because he quickly thought of something else.
"Sister! Where's Yun?! How is she?! Is she alright?!"
Xu Qingying frowned.
"She's alright..."
"It's good that she's alright! It's good that she's alright!"
Xu Xuanyu calmed down a bit.
Immediately, his emotions changed drastically, and his entire face contorted into a ferocious expression.
"Huangfu Qi! Sister! It's Huangfu Qi!!"
Xu Xuanyu's eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were clenched so tightly that they were rattling. At this moment, his madness perfectly illustrated what it meant to have a blood feud.
The humiliation he had suffered the previous night echoed in his mind.
He drank some wine to embolden himself, found Nangong Yun, confessed his feelings successfully, and prepared to elope with Nangong Yun. However, the two had not gone far when they were suddenly caught up by Huangfu Qi.
Huangfu Qi was stronger than both him and Nangong Yun, and he was even suppressed by Huangfu Qi with a single blow.
He could never forget Huangfu Qi's disgusting expression at the time, saying that he would let the two of them leave if they just knelt down.
For the sake of their future, he chose to abandon his dignity.
Even after he knelt down, Huangfu Qi refused to keep his promise and made him crawl between his legs and kowtow on the spot!
He crushed his dignity and did everything he could, but Huangfu Qi ultimately said with amusement, "I was just playing with a fool!"
There's no way we'll let them leave!
In a fit of rage, he disregarded everything and unleashed unprecedented power, striking Huangfu Qi with a single blow. However, this very blow completely enraged Huangfu Qi.
Xu Xuanyu told his sister everything he had experienced, his voice hoarse from the screams he let out.
Xu Qingying heard another version of the story and fell silent.
"Xuanyu, what I heard is different from what you said..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xuanyu's bloodshot eyes widened.
"Sister! You! You don't believe me?!"
He was shocked.
He actually saw a look of suspicion on his own sister's face!
"Xuanyu, did you drink alcohol last night?"
This sentence left Xu Xuanyu completely stunned.
