Luo Xiaoxiao stared blankly at her ferocious-looking brother, completely speechless.
There was a voice echoing in her heart: How could he say such a thing? How could he be so unreasonable?!
Luo Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with hysterical grief. She realized that she had been too naive. This world was really different from what she had imagined …
Why did everyone have to hurt each other like this? Shouldn't family members love each other? Why did they have to slander each other like this …
Luo Xiaoxiao didn't understand, nor did she want to understand. She felt that her brother was too terrifying, making her want to escape and leave this place.
But where could she go? This was the place she had grown up in since she could remember. Every blade of grass, every tree, every face was etched deeply in her memory.
This was her home. In the outside world, she didn't have a place to go.
She had originally thought that the secular world was different from her family, but that day in the amusement park, when she was almost killed by the man she liked, Luo Xiaoxiao realized that she didn't belong there.
No matter how hard she tried, no one would like her. Just like her aunt, brother, second uncle, third uncle, and so on. No matter how obedient she was, they never liked her from the bottom of their hearts …
At this moment, a deep and dignified voice came from the sky.
"What are the two of you doing here …"
Luo Hang was startled and a trace of panic appeared on his face. Raising his head, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in a green hanfu. His black hair fluttered in the wind, and his expression was cold and stern.
"F-Father!"
He had originally thought that Luo Qianqiu was in seclusion, so he was particularly surprised. He didn't know why Luo Qianqiu had suddenly come out.
Luo Xiaoxiao also raised her head and called out in a low voice, "Father."
Luo Qianqiu slowly descended, staring at Luo Hang and Luo Xiaoxiao with eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything.
"At a time like this, instead of cultivating and resting in your own room, you've come here to argue. You're really giving me face. Do you want the people from the Elder Council to come and see how you two little things are going to argue?"
Luo Hang smiled stiffly in fear, "Father, I … I was just casually saying a few words to my sister. It's nothing."
"Oh …" Luo Qianqiu narrowed his eyes. "I see that you've really grown up. Not only do you think that I'm a fool, but as a man, you're actually afraid of competing with a little girl!"
"I … I wouldn't dare to deceive you." Luo Hang's smile was particularly stiff as he shook his head.
"Ever since you were young, you've been given the most resources out of all the juniors in the clan, but now, you're acting like this just because your younger sister has just stepped into the Divine Transformation Stage. You really make me feel 'gratified'." Luo Qianqiu's expression was somewhat gloomy.
Luo Hang shuddered. Gritting his teeth, he stood up straight and said, "Father! This child knows his mistake, and this child will not disappoint father's expectations! "
He knew that he couldn't hide it, so he decided to come clean with a tough attitude.
"Since that's the case, then scram back to your own place. I can tell you that the Xiao Family and the Ning family have long since had young geniuses of the same age as you who have stepped into the Dark Water Tier. If you can't reach the Dark Water Tier before the Martial Competition of the Three Families next year, see how I'll take care of you!" Luo Qianqiu glared at him.
Luo Hang hurriedly responded loudly with a solemn expression. Intentionally or unintentionally, he turned his head back and shot a warning glance at Luo Xiaoxiao before flying away.
After Luo Hang left, Luo Qianqiu looked at Luo Xiaoxiao for a while with a twinkle in his eyes. In the end, he said indifferently, "You should also go back. Don't talk back to your older brother in the future."
Luo Xiaoxiao's delicate body trembled. She raised her head sadly and said with grievance, "Father … I didn't mean to talk back to Big Brother …"
"It's not important whether you did or not, and I don't care. Since you're in a large clan, it's normal for people to scheme against each other and cannibalism to happen. If you're able to survive and defeat your older brother, that's because you're not worthy of being a daughter of the Luo Family. No one will feel sorry for you," Luo Qianqiu said indifferently.
Luo Xiaoxiao bit her thin lips. Her beautiful oval face was filled with sourness, and her bright and beautiful features looked incomparably lonely.
"Father … why doesn't everyone like their daughter? I clearly don't want to fight for anything. The clan should have been inherited by Big Brother … I also never thought that I would be valued …
When I was young, Father, you told me that my mother had already passed away and that I was a child without a mother … so I was especially obedient. I was afraid that no one would like me, so I only hoped to become a part of the family …
In the past few years that I've been living in the secular world, I've seen my classmates with their parents and family. Although they've all experienced birth, death, and pain, I've always been envious of them because they're like a family …
Father, can you tell me, is it because I'm so unlikeable that everyone doesn't like me? Or is it because … our family really can't just be together like that. Must we fight each other … "
Luo Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled as she looked at Luo Qianqiu, like a fairy that could speak.
Slightly narrowing his eyes, Luo Qianqiu's expression was as cold and indifferent as ever. However, his eyebrows unconsciously twitched a little.
After a long time, Luo Qianqiu said in a low voice, "If you want to find the answer, there's only one way."
"Wh … what is it?" Luo Xiaoxiao looked at her father with some hope.
"Become stronger." Luo Qianqiu said solemnly, "When the day comes where you have the strength to face anyone without fear, you'll understand why you're confused about everything."
Luo Xiaoxiao was stunned, her eyes filled with confusion. She didn't understand what this confusion had to do with cultivation.
Luo Qianqiu turned around, his back facing her as he slowly walked away.
"Your fate is in your own hands. Although I'm your biological father, I can't protect you forever, nor will I tell you how to choose your future. Your brother is also my biological son. Which one of you will be able to survive in the end will depend on your own heart and whether you've chosen the right direction …"
As he spoke, Luo Qianqiu had already walked far away.
Luo Xiaoxiao stood still for a long time, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes as she fell into deep thought.
…
At this moment, on the third floor of the alchemy room.
Yang Cheng waited for Hsiao Chih-ching to stop crying before he used the Endless Resolve Restoration Scripture to help her suppress the rampaging Nine Yin Meridians and the large amount of poison in her body to prevent it from erupting again. As for curing it completely, Yang Cheng had no way of doing so at the moment.
After that, Yang Cheng took out a set of clean women's clothes and helped Hsiao Chih-ching wash them before letting her change into them.
The two of them had seen each other on the bed countless times, so it wasn't awkward for them to take off their clothes and change their clothes.
Yang Cheng looked at Hsiao Chih-ching's exquisite and alluring figure after washing herself, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of lust because he knew that this wasn't the time to be lovey-dovey.
Hsiao Chih-ching combed her hair, her neck was slender, and her skin was fair. She had finally returned to her usual delicate and charming appearance, radiant and radiant.
At this moment, Hsiao Chih-ching remembered that she asked Yang Cheng how he managed to disguise himself as Luo Feng and how he found this place.
Yang Cheng briefly told her what had happened recently, and Hsiao Chih-ching was surprised by the magical effect of the "blind leaf". After knowing that Suxin had been rescued by Yang Cheng and that Yang Cheng had killed a Xiao family's Grand Elder, Hsiao Chih-ching was overjoyed.
"Nanny is still alive, that's great! Husband, thank you! "Hsiao Chih-ching was extremely moved.
She was already grateful that Yang Cheng came to save her, but he even saved Suxin who had nothing to do with him! Just because Suxin was her nanny and benefactor.
Hsiao Chih-ching understood that this was because Yang Cheng really regarded her benefactor as his own, which was even more precious.
Even if it was an ordinary married couple, how many men would be able to do what Yang Chen did? Although people had different experiences, statuses, and strengths, risking life and death to save someone who shouldn't have been saved wasn't a joke.
Hsiao Chih-ching felt that her heart was about to melt. This was why her sisters couldn't resist this man's charm. If it wasn't for the fact that they were not suitable for each other, she couldn't wait to immediately get entangled with Yang Cheng.
After Yang Cheng finished explaining, his expression turned serious and he asked, "Qing-er, now it's time to talk about your matter. I heard from Mother Wang that it was Luo Xiaoxiao, Luo Hang, and an old man who caught you together, right?"
"En." Hsiao Chih-ching nodded and said, "It was Luo Hang and that housekeeper called Luo Lei. As for Luo Xiaoxiao … "
Hsiao Chih-ching hesitated for a moment, then relaxed her brows and said with some puzzlement, "Although we can't rule out that she is the informant, she really doesn't seem to have any malice towards me."
