Lu Feixue was not quite powerful. She was only at the peak of the Eternal Realm which surprised Lu Li. After all, the Lu Family was wealthy and abundant in resources. As a daughter of the Family Patriarch, Lu Feixue should be able to reach the n.o.ble Lord Realm even if she was not very talented.
Lu Feixue was very nice to Lu Li. There was nothing fake in her sincere emotions to him. She treated Lu Li as if he was her lost son. Lu Li grew up with no father or mother. He never enjoyed the love of parents, so Lu Feixue’s kindness touched him.
Lu Feixue calmed herself down after the time for one incense stick to burn. She took Lu Li to a long bench, stroke his face, forced a smile and said, "You are my big brother’s son. You are so alike."
Lu Li didn’t do anything. He only smiled at Lu Feixue. Lu Feixue came to her senses and nervously asked, "Your name is Lu Li? Where is your father? How come he is not here with you?"
"My father?"
Lu Li almost told her about Lu Renhuang, but on second thoughts, he decided not to tell. Lu Feixue’s Realm was low and she was married. She appeared to be a weak and vulnerable woman. It probably wouldn’t do anything good to tell her.
He decided to get more information first. He said, "I don’t know where my father is. After I was born, my parents went missing. I grew up with my sister. I heard from my sister that I belonged to the Lu Family. So I am here."
"Well…"
Lu Feixue seemed to have no idea about Lu Li. Her expressions grew gloomy. Then she asked, "How about your sister? Why is she not here with you?"
Lu Li sighed and said, "My sister is taken to the Cyan Plains by the Palace of G.o.ddess. Um… Patriarch Four has sent someone to rescue her."
"What?"
Lu Feixue opened her mouth in shock. Tears filled her eyes again and she said with a choking voice, "You poor kids. You must have suffered a lot those years. Where is my big brother? He never went to look for you?"
Lu Li shook his head. He felt stunned inside. How come Lu Feixue didn’t get angry when she heard Lu Ling was taken away?
Shouldn’t the daughter of the Family Patriarch be antagonized when she heard her nephew was taken away by a small force and ask the family to look for her nephew? Was it Lu Feixue was born to be weak in her characters or was she just not capable?
Lu Feixue then asked more about how Lu Li and Lu Ling spent those years. Lu Li didn’t hide any more information and he told her about their lives at the Northern Desert. It was easy to find out that he came from the Northern Desert so withholding such information was unnecessary.
Lu Feixue dropped more tears after hearing Lu Li’s stories. Then she asked more about trivial stuff in his life, such as what his mother looked like and about his maternal grandpa’s family.
Lu Li didn’t feel bothered at all. On the contrary, he felt warmed. His aunt cared about him. The other patriarchs never asked him about those stuff.
After a while, Lu Feixue suddenly remembered something. She took a red long sword from her Interspatial Ring and handed it over to Lu Li, saying, "Lu Li, I don’t have anything fancy to give to you. This weapon is a Xuan Artifact of the Holy Grade. This shall be my gift to you. I hope you won’t turn me down."
Lu Li refused. Xuan Artifacts of the Holy Grade were rare. Also, he was not fond of using swords. What was more, this red sword was more suitable to girls.
"What?"
Lu Feixue pretended to be angry seeing Lu Li was refusing and said, "You think this is not good enough? You look down on your aunt? I have used this sword, but I am married now and I won’t use it any more. This is my welcome gift. Don’t turn me down."
"Um?"
Lu Li was stunned again. Lu Feixue, the daughter of the Family Patriarch and now the wife of the young master of the Palace of G.o.ds, a seventh-rank force, sent a used Xuan Artifact to her own nephew as a gift?
Xuan Artifact of the Holy Grade was rare and it could be sold at a price of about four or five billion Xuan Crystals.
That being said, for the Lu Family, they had many more Xuan Crystals than that. Lu Li had borrowed 20 billion Xuan Crystals from Mo Ye who didn’t even think about it. Mo Ye was only the master of a sixth-rank force, the Palace of Aries.
Therefore, Lu Feixue should have several Xuan Artifacts of the Holy Grade. Why was she sending a used Xuan Artifact as a gift?
This was out of the ordinary.
Lu Li looked to Lu Feixue with doubt. Then to his surprise, he saw a red mark on Lu Feixue’s neck.
Lu Li suddenly stood up and stared at her neck. Lu Feixue sensed what he was doing and covered it up with her hair. She nervously said, "Lu Li, what are you looking at? Sit down!"
Lu Li quickly moved Lu Feixue’s hair and he saw a deep wound. His expressions changed and his eyes coldly glowed. He looked at Lu Feixue and said, "Who did this?"
That was clearly a deep whip wound. Her skin must have been cut open and flesh torn at that time!
Lu Feixue was in a panic. She diverted her looks, too afraid to look at Lu Li and rambled, "Nothing, I cut myself accidentally. Lu Li, behave yourself!"
"Whoosh~"
Lu Li saw that Lu Feixue moved her hands away out of instinct. He reached out and grabbed her hands and rolled up her sleeves.
"What!"
Lu Li could not hold back his killing intent when he saw the intertwined whip wounds on her hands.
His eyes glowed in red. He stared at Lu Feixue like a ferocious beast. He said emotionlessly, "Aunt, tell me who did this. I will protect you! I will make him pay no matter who he is!"
Lu Renhuang only had this one sister. Lu Li only had this one aunt who was very nice to him. She treated him like her own son. Lu Li had already accepted her as his family. He now found Lu Feixue was wounded by someone? It was more hurtful to Lu Li than having himself stabbed.
"It is okay. It’s nothing!"
Lu Feixue was in a panic. Her shoulders trembled. She was freaked out by Lu Li’s looks. She moved her lips and said, "Lu Li, don’t mind it. I am fine."
Lu Li grabbed Lu Feixue’s hands and angrily shouted again, "Tell me, who did this?"
Maybe it was because Lu Feixue was taken aback by Lu Li’s fury, or maybe Lu Feixue felt moved by her nephew’s worry, she answered, "I am fine… last night, I had a quarrel with your uncle-in-law. He, he was drunk and…"
"Fine, I see. Aunt, you sit here. I will be back soon."
Lu Li nodded and then walked out. He waked to Ming Yu and Yu Huashen and said, "Let’s go!"
"Lu Li, what are you doing?"
Lu Feixue was scared. She got up to grab Lu Li. Her eyes were filled with fear. She begged him, "Lu Li, don’t do this. I am fine, really."
"Ming Yu, contain my aunt!"
Lu Li turned to Ming Yu and coldly said. Ming Yu had no other choice but to release Force and stop Lu Feixue. Yu Huashen left with Lu Li.
Lu Li stopped in midair, turned to Lu Feixue and said with determination, "Aunt, I heard that my grandpa is in closed-door cultivation? Do other people think you have n.o.body to rely on now with my father missing? Is that why the Palace of G.o.ds is bullying you? Don’t worry. I am back. I will kill everyone and their families if they dare to bully you!"
