Chapter 34 Brother-Sister Relationship Revealed
By now, both had understood each other’s mind. In the midst of joy, the atmosphere of embarra.s.sment spread.
“I said it! If I didn’t get it wrong, she had feelings for me too!” Lyu Liang thought about it beautifully and restored his stupid look before.
“He is only at the Foundation Establishment stage and already, his words so overbearing… I, I promised him?” Shangguan Ying blushed, lowered her hear and pondered.
“Oh, I will attend the auction here tomorrow afternoon. There is a magic treasure that I need urgently. Do you want to partic.i.p.ate together?” Lyu Liang broke the silence, as things would not go on without any words.
“Oh? Which one? I will accompany Aunt Qing to partic.i.p.ate tomorrow.” Talking about the business, Shangguan Ying was back to normal.
“I don’t know. I haven’t read the scroll yet. It’s an auxiliary magic treasure that can store Primordial Qi, Devil Qi, or Demon Qi. I recently invented a new move, which requires a mixture of Primordial Qi and Devil Qi to be carried out. Primordial Qi is still OK, and the key is about Devil Qi. At present, the amount released depending on the Magic Core in my body is too little, it can’t support the move for very long. Also, the Shadow-devil Domain can’t be used at will, so I want such a magic treasure.” To Shangguan Ying, Lyu Liang did not have any intention to hide.
Upon hearing these words, Shangguan Ying smiled gently, “What you said should be the magic treasure at the Void Return stage, the Qi Storage pearl. It can store the amount of Primordial Qi equivalent to the Peak stage of Void Return. You can integrate this pearl into your Divine Soul and save Primordial Qi in peacetime. In the future, when you have insufficient Primordial Qi, you can always replenish it. This magic treasure master once commented to me that this treasure belongs to the ultimate grade treasure in escaping. Of course, it is said to store Devil Qi, Demon Qi and whatever, it’s possible.”
Lyu Liang was stunned for a moment, and then there was some enlightenment. “True, during the real battle, it is more dependent on the cultivation stage and the strength of the magic treasure. As for the stamina of the fight, the requirements are really not high. After all, if you can win then win, if you can’t win then flee.”
No one was so free and stupid to rely on this magic treasure to stay till the end. When Primordial Qi inside was exhausted, and the enemy was yet to be destroyed, then most probably, this person was not far from death.
Later, the two gradually began to talk, starting from the life in their respective sects, all the way about the joys and sorrows they had as a mortal. They chatted until the moon brightens and stars disappeared. If it were not later that Aunt Qing appeared, they would probably chat till the next day when the auction began.
In the end, the two privately agreed that in front of others, they were “Mr. Lyu” and “Fairy Shangguan”, and privately, “Lyu Liang” and “Ying’er”. As for becoming a Taoist couple, the two people had a rapport and did not mention it at all. They promised one another to increase the strength to the Nascent Soul Stage as soon as possible, and then make a decision.
“Lyu Liang, I think, you should explain clearly to Xinyun. I can see that she definitely has a good impression on you! Of course, I have not thought about how to do it, but dragging it will do no good. Do think about a good solution! No matter what decision you make, I will support you!” Shangguan Ying’s words replayed again and again in Lyu Liang’s mind when he went back to his residence in Tianshui Pavilion.
“Aii!” Lyu Liang sighed heavily, and his originally lost eyes gradually became firmer. “I, believe in my sister! Black, can I?”
“This is your decision. I don’t care. I can only say that I don’t object.” Black’s tone was very dull and seemed to be talking about an insignificant thing.
At this time, Lyu Xinyun, lying in bed, tossed and turned. She could not sleep. She had always kept the habit of mortals and went to sleep at night. For the Lyu family, she was the pearl-like existence. As the only granddaughter of the chief, no one at home forced her to practice at night.
“From Zhang Ran’s words, the red fairy is a disciple of the Xuan Nyu Sect. Then, if I join there, will she be my senior sister? Oh, so troublesome! What am I thinking?” Lyu Xinyun angrily hammered her little head and decided to sleep.
“Junior Sister, have you rested? Or are you practicing? I have something to say to you. If it is convenient, can you withdraw the ban and let me in? If it is not convenient, then never mind.” Lyu Liang’s voice appeared in sudden outside the door. So sudden that Lyu Xinyun almost fell to the ground.
“Ah! Senior, senior brother, erm, wait wait!” Lyu Xinyu got up from the bed in a panic, quickly sorted out the clothes, and used her Divine Sense to check her own appearance before she nervously withdrew the ban.
“He, why did he look for me at such a late time? Did, did he, did he wants to…” Lyu Xinyun uncontrollably remembered the things that she looked for sneakily about the Taoist couples. Her mind was in a blank. She was in a dilemma. Eventually, she stood rooted in the middle of the house.
At this time, Lyu Liang had pushed the door open and saw Lyu Xinyun dumbly standing in front of him. He smiled gently and said, “Junior Sister, you can resume the ban.”
“Oh, good. Senior, senior brother, you, what do you want?” Lyu Xinyun’s mind was in complete chaos. After the ban was resumed, she blushed and lowered her head, her shoulders still shivering slightly.
“Black, may I trouble you to add another layer of Bounded Domain? It is safer that way.” Lyu Liang communicated with Black in his sea of consciousness. Then, he turned to examine the anxious girl, who lowered her eyes in front of him.
Without any signs, a whip shadow like a bolt of black lightning was waved towards Lyu Xinyun. The little girl who had indulged entirely in the cranky thoughts was. .h.i.t without any accidents.
“Ah!!!” Lyu Xinyun suddenly felt the shudder of her Divine Soul, and the body’s Primordial Qi stopped working momentarily. At this moment, she was like a weak creature who could be slaughtered by anyone.
This feeling of horror only lasted for a breath, but her cold sweat had flowed all over the body. No more cranky thoughts. At this moment, with a horrified look, she stared at Lyu Liang who was holding the whip. There was only one word in her mind. “Why?! ”
Seeing Lyu Xinyun’s horrified gaze, Lyu Liang smiled bitterly and handed the whip to the front of Lyu Xinyun and said calmly, “Xinyun, do you recognize this whip?”
With the actions and words of Lyu Liang, Lyu Xinyun turned her attention to the whip that made her shudder. She did not doubt that if Lyu Liang really wanted her life, there would be no resistance, and she would die with shattered souls. But Lyu Liang did not do that. Apparently, he just wanted her to confirm this whip.
“This, this is…! No, impossible!” By the first focused look on it, Lyu Xinyun stepped back a few steps as if she was struck by lightning until she stopped at the table behind her. Her face was full of disbelief.
“Yes, this is my Sishui Lyu family’s family secret treasure that never pa.s.sed out, the G.o.d Whipping Whip!” Lyu Liang said word by word, “The missing uncle you said is my biological father, Lyu Liren.”
“This, this means that you, you are my… What, what the h.e.l.l is going on?” Lyu Xinyun’s tears had flowed down her cheeks, rushing over. She clutched Lyu Liang’s arms tightly. Her beautiful big eyes were full of fear and confusion.
“This is a very long story. Let’s sit down and talk about it…” Then Lyu Liang started to tell her about the mortal-devil couple that fell in love in the relic of Immortal Devil at Breeze Valley and the chase of the Blood Divine Sect in Qingluo Town that resulted in a broken family. The story of the ancestor of the Lyu family who secretly moved to save the last chance of survival, and the secret of Lyu Liang’s dual ident.i.ty were all presented to Lyu Xinyun.
Lyu Xinyun was utterly shocked! At this moment, she completely let go of her secret crush on Lyu Liang. The only feeling she had left now was sympathy and injustice for her brother’s miserable life. She couldn’t imagine that her brother was carrying such a heavy burden when she was cared for by her elders and enjoyed her luxury life. Even, when his relatives were right in front of him, he could not recognize each other properly. As for the Lyu family that initially belonged to him, it was impossible for him to enter even the door!
Lyu Xinyun cried, desperately rushing to the arms of Lyu Liang. Lyu Liang also hugged her thin and delicate body. At this moment, the tears were all over his face! It was nothing related to the love between men and women. The only thing they had was a blood kinship between the brother and sister who finally recognized each other!
“Brother! It’s been hard for you! As well as for my uncle! And also my pitiful aunt! Rest a.s.sured, I won’t say anything! Even for my father, I will say nothing!” After a good while, Lyu Xinyun left Lyu Liang’s arm. At this moment, the way she looked at Lyu Liang, was full of clarity and savvy.
Lyu Liang also calmed himself down. He looked pitifully at the sister in front of his eyes. “It’s fine. Fortunately, my father is safe. Although the mother’s body is no longer there, there is indeed a remnant of the soul. After ten years, there may be a chance to condense the complete soul. I, Lyu Liang swear that once I have the strength, I must let our family return our home in Sishui aboveboard!”
“Okay! When I enter the Xuan Nyu Sect, I must practice at my best! No wonder the family elders looked down on the Blood Divine Sect. It turns out to be like this! Brother, you can rest a.s.sured! Someday, when my strength is strong enough, let us brother and sister go together to wipe out the Blood Divine Sect!” Lyu Xinyun clenched her hand in a small fist, with a dazzling, arrogant and fearless look.
“Haha, no hurry. It’s good that you will enter the Xuan Nyu Sect. The former fairy in red was the only pro-disciple of the Xuan Nyu Fairy, who was the chief of Xuan Nyu Sect. I will notify her so that she can take care of you. In that way, I will be more relieved.” Then, Lyu Liang took out a small bottle and stuffed it into his sister’s hand. “Here are twenty Foundation Establishment Pills. Take it and wait until you reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, then you use it. Inside there is also a Bottleneck-breaking Pill, so you can use it when you hit the Gold Core Stage! Don’t mention it. Your brother still has a lot of stock left.”
Lyu Liang was not boasting. When he used to practice alchemy at King of Medicine’s place, he refined a lot of Foundation Establishment Pills. Even if he gave Lyu Xinyun twenty pills, he still had at least a hundred left on his hand. The Bottleneck-breaking Pill was more precious, and he had only four. In addition to his sister, he still wanted to leave Shangguan Ying one. It was enough to leave two for himself.
Lyu Xinyun did not refuse it. After receiving the pills, she put them in her storage bag. Immediately, her eyes turned, and she whispered with a snicker, “Brother, tell the truth! That fairy, is she my future sister-in-law? Don’t deny it! Even fools can see that you two are interested in one another!”
“Er, this one, we have made an appointment, not to talk about this before the Nascent Soul Stage!” This time it was Lyu Liang who stammered.
“Brother, let me remind you! No man is a fool! A fairy with her stunning look can never be short of pursuers? If not, why don’t you just made her your woman? Anyway, I see you both are already crushing… Ouch!” Lyu Xinyun’s words were not finished, and Lyu Liang’s fist hit her on her head.
“Where have you heard all these! Though you are young, you can have a lot of lousy ideas! Don’t meddle with our things!” Lyu Liang was directly stunned, and reached out his hand and knocked on his sister’s head.
In the long night, the time pa.s.sed while the brother and sister laughed and talked. When the sky was overcast, Lyu Liang stealthily sneaked back to his room. After all, this thing should be kept only between heaven and earth, and you and I.
The next morning, when Zhang Ran saw the brother and sister in high spirit, he couldn’t help but mutter himself, “Still not admitting. Either they are related, or they are in love, even their spirit has so much similarity!”
