A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 213: The Start of a Dog-Blooded Story

“Demonic entities, accept the punishment of Mount Shushan’s Sword Formation.”

“Mount Shushan!?”

The Heishui Cave Lord was shocked. “Mount Shushan, we’ve had no grudges past or present—why attack me out of nowhere!?”

“Demonic entity, you refine Gu using human lives. The Recording Stone has already been delivered to Mount Shushan, and you still want to deny it?

Take this—Mount Shushan Sword Formation!!”

Several Mount Shushan Elders descended from the sky in formation.

“Boom——!!”

“.........”

Half a month later.

Li Xuanxiao and his party left Heishui Cave.

Now they’d have to come up with a new plan again.

Truth be told, Li Xuanxiao rather regretted the decision.

If he couldn’t even protect the people in front of him, what future was there to speak of?

Now the Gu insects could no longer be used.

The spatial formation was crucial and had to be foolproof.

After returning to Mount Shushan, Li Xuanxiao shut himself in the Scripture Repository once more.

He began researching other methods.

“...........”

In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.

“Soul Elder, Soul Elder!”

Xiao Ran’s urging voice rang out.

Soul Elder had been asleep for over two years.

Now, under Xiao Ran’s insistence, he finally awakened again.

On Silver Sword Peak, beneath the straw hut.

Li Xuanxiao rubbed his temples.

He didn’t have the mental capacity to split into so many personas right now.

He felt like he could go schizophrenic at any moment.

Every time he spoke, he had to mentally prep for a long while.

Afraid of switching characters incorrectly.

Li Xuanxiao looked at Xiao Ran through the ring.

It was thanks to Li Xuanxiao’s careful guidance over the years that Xiao Ran hadn’t rushed to Mount Shushan to challenge Su Wan to a duel.

He’d told Xiao Ran to wait a bit.

He already had more than enough on his plate—just couldn’t deal with more trouble.

“Ahem, ahem~”

“Xiao Ran, what is it?”

“Soul Elder, you’re finally awake!”

“Mm, that nap did me good. What do you need me for?”

“Soul Elder, I recently met a senior. He gave me a cultivation technique.

This senior’s cultivation is extremely profound, but I don’t know if the technique suits me. He even said he intended to take me as his disciple!”

“Senior? What’s his title?” Soul Elder asked.

“Zhenren Hongyun.”

Hiss~

At that moment, Li Xuanxiao sucked in a cold breath.

Even after years of cultivation and mastering the art of concealing emotions, he couldn’t help but show his joy.

What a lucky break!

He’d been searching everywhere for Zhenren Hongyun, and now the name had fallen into his lap.

From the start, Li Xuanxiao had wanted to use Zhenren Hongyun’s golden gourd as the formation core of the spatial array.

But Hongyun had roamed far and wide for years—extremely hard to locate.

Li Xuanxiao suppressed his excitement.

He instructed Xiao Ran to go seek out Zhenren Hongyun as quickly as possible.

Two days later, Xiao Ran found Zhenren Hongyun in an inn.

Naturally, Li Xuanxiao couldn’t come out and bluntly ask to borrow the gourd.

So he had Xiao Ran make contact first.

Zhenren Hongyun felt a strong connection with the young man named Xiao Ran and indeed intended to take him as a disciple.

Xiao Ran could tell Zhenren Hongyun seemed troubled by something and probed a bit.

Turns out, Zhenren Hongyun’s younger sister had gone missing over a hundred years ago, and he had been searching for her ever since.

But even now, he had found no trace.

As he spoke, Zhenren Hongyun let out a deep sigh.

Xiao Ran asked, “Do you know why your sister disappeared back then?”

Zhenren Hongyun’s past had been something he never spoke of.

But today, for some reason, he was willing to open up in front of this young man.

“My sister found out a hundred years ago that she wasn’t my father’s biological daughter. In fact, her maid was the real daughter of my father.

Afterward, my sister ran away from home and hasn’t been heard from since.”

Xiao Ran frowned slightly.

At that moment, Soul Elder’s voice rang out in the spiritual sea.

“You can follow Zhenren Hongyun back to his home and take a look.

If you can find something his sister used or the room she lived in, I might be able to locate her.”

Then Soul Elder added:

“If you can make Zhenren Hongyun owe you a favor, that would be ideal.”

Xiao Ran was overjoyed.

So he offered to help find Zhenren Hongyun’s sister.

Zhenren Hongyun chuckled. “I appreciate your kindness, but let’s not bother.”

He clearly didn’t believe a Golden Core Stage cultivator could do better than himself.

Xiao Ran insisted, “You don’t understand, Zhenren. I inherited a miraculous people-finding divine ability.

Even the divination skills of seasoned powerhouses pale in comparison.”

“Truly?”

“Truly!”

Zhenren Hongyun saw his sincerity and figured it had been many years since he last returned home.

After a slight hesitation, he agreed.

“............”

Soon after, Xiao Ran went home with Zhenren Hongyun.

His family was quite prestigious in the local area.

As soon as Zhenren Hongyun entered the courtyard, a female voice rang out.

“Brother!”

Out came a young maiden in a light green dress.

Brother?

Xiao Ran was puzzled.

Didn’t Zhenren Hongyun say he had only one sister, who was missing? free𝑤ebnovel.com

But then he realized—

This was Hongyun’s true sister, Sun Miaozhen,

The former maid.

However, it was clear that Zhenren Hongyun wasn’t close to this half-sister.

Zhenren Hongyun’s father was Sun Chengshan.

There was also his young and beautiful stepmother.

And his uncle, Sun Chengmai.

The uncle’s wife, and their daughter...

“Father... Mother, I’ve returned.”

When he called her “mother,” his expression was visibly awkward.

Clearly not used to calling someone younger than himself “mother.”

His father, Sun Chengshan, just nodded slightly.

The stepmother, however, welcomed him warmly.

After a brief greeting to the elders, Zhenren Hongyun headed straight for his missing sister’s bedroom.

Ever since her disappearance, he hadn’t let anyone enter her room.

Not even his current biological sister.

Xiao Ran entered the room and looked around—it was just a typical young woman’s bedroom.

“Soul Elder, Soul Elder.”

“Don’t rush. Follow my instructions.”

“..........”

At that moment, on Silver Sword Peak.

Li Xuanxiao looked at the grand formation Xiao Ran had set up and stretched out his hand.

At the same time, within the Purple Mansion.

The mysterious Nascent Soul within slowly raised its hand in response.

This was a new divine ability Li Xuanxiao had gained after acquiring the mysterious Nascent Soul.

It seemed to come innately with this Nascent Soul.

Divination!
