Chapter 27

Am I about to die?

As Xiao Yi was about to be surrounded by lava, the scene before her eyes suddenly changed.

She reappeared in Lü Shaoqing's hall.

Looking at everything around her, Xiao Yi felt as if she had been transported to another world.

It felt like a dream.

"Second, Second Senior Brother!"

Xiao Yi saw Lü Shaoqing in front of her.

Lü Shaoqing yawned and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Chirp!"

Xiao Hong chirped on his head and then flew to Xiao Yi's shoulder.

Lü Shaoqing shook his head and sighed, "Young people, why are you so impatient?"

"Can't you wait a little longer?"

"You had to rush in so urgently."

Xiao Yi was still shaken, "Second Senior Brother, what just happened?"

Lü Shaoqing didn't explain, "Don't enter someone's home without permission in the future. This isn't a joke."

"Fortunately, you came to me. If you had rushed to the First Senior Brother, you would probably have been skewered by a bunch of swords."

If it were just now, Xiao Yi would have dismissed Lü Shaoqing's words.

But after what she just experienced, she didn't dare doubt him.

Xiao Yi nodded obediently. After this experience, she knew she was wrong.

If Lü Shaoqing hadn't appeared in time, she would surely be in grave danger now.

This must be an array or restriction set up by Second Senior Brother to prevent intruders.

Seeing Xiao Yi still shaken, Lü Shaoqing patted her head and said, "It's okay now."

"Don't be afraid."

Then he scolded Xiao Hong, "Stupid bird, go find some candy."

Xiao Yi immediately pouted in protest, "Second Senior Brother, I'm not a child."

"Do you almost cry? Did you wet your pants just now?"

Xiao Yi's face turned

</di>

red, "Second Senior Brother, you're a pervert."

Lü Shaoqing sneered, "Pervert? Even if I were a pervert, no one would pay attention to you, little Miss Peaceful."

"Phew!"

Xiao Yi's face turned even redder.

Knowing she had offended Lü Shaoqing, she quickly changed the subject, "Second Senior Brother, you said you would let me enter the Sword Cave today."

Lü Shaoqing said, "Go in yourself. Are you still a child?"

Xiao Yi said sheepishly, "I, I'm scared."

The experience in the Sword Cave that day left a deep impression on her. She still felt a lingering fear when she thought about it.

Lü Shaoqing sneered, "You're not a child, and you got scared like that?"

"Second Senior Brother, take me there. You have to be responsible for me now."

Lü Shaoqing spat, "Spit, don't say things that cause misunderstandings."

"If I don't have a dao companion yet, and I get harmed by your words, I'll beat you to death."

Xiao Yi huffed, "Aren't you and First Senior Brother very close? You two can just live together."

Lü Shaoqing said sternly, "Stop talking nonsense."

"I and your First Senior Brother are irreconcilable enemies. What do you mean by 'very close'?"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you now."

Xiao Yi didn't believe him at all.

She wasn't stupid. She had been on Tianyu Peak for more than two months. Didn't she know?

Shao Cheng, Ji Yan, and Lü Shaoqing.

The three of them didn't have a good attitude toward each other most of the time. They would curse and even draw their swords at each other.

Especially Lü Shaoqing, who showed no respect, cursing at First Senior Brother Ji Yan and defying their master.

But she knew very well that this was a sign of their deep bond.

She also liked this atmosphere.

There were no rules here, and she could do as she pleased, feeling very free.

Seeing Lü Shaoqing's unwillingness to admit it, Xiao Yi found it amusing.

"Second Senior Brother, hurry up and take me to the Sword Cave."

She wanted to become stronger, to have the qualifications to stay on Tianyu Peak, and not to disgrace her master and senior brothers.

To truly become a part of Tianyu Peak.

"Let's go, let's go."

"Being hasty won't do. Take it slow," Lü Shaoqing continued to educate her on the way, "Don't be like your First Senior Brother."

"Your First Senior Brother is a pervert. One pervert in Tianyu Peak is enough."

"Follow the steps and cultivate steadily. Maintain a normal mindset."

Xiao Yi asked, "What about you, Second Senior Brother?"

"You're younger than First Senior Brother, but your strength isn't much worse than his."

Lü Shaoqing raised his head proudly, "Don't compare yourself to me."

"People can't be compared."

Xiao Yi wrinkled her nose at Lü Shaoqing's expression, "If you can do it, why can't I?"

Lü Shaoqing said, "I'm a genius."

To Lü Shaoqing, this was a boastful statement.

But to Xiao Yi, it was the truth.

She admitted that Lü Shaoqing was indeed a genius.

If he weren't a genius, how could he fight Ji Yan to such a degree?

In Xiao Yi's view, Ji Yan could knock Lü Shaoqing flying because his realm was higher.

If they were at the same realm, it was uncertain who would win.

Xiao Yi huffed, "You two are geniuses, I'm not a genius, so I have to work even harder."

Lü Shaoqing said,

</di>

"Hard work is necessary, but don't rush it."

"No matter how hard you work, you won't catch up. You might as well take it slow."

Xiao Yi was speechless, "Second Senior Brother, are you encouraging me or discouraging me?"

"I'm just speaking the truth."

"Is this Tianyu Peak?"

The peak master of Chiyue Peak said to the people behind him, "Yes, this is Tianyu Peak. Don't wander around or cause trouble."

"Yes."

"Uncle Xiao Chuang, where is Sister Xiao Yi?"

A girl about the same age as Xiao Yi asked.

Xiao Chuang gave her a cold look and said, "Xiao Qun, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're the eldest elder's granddaughter."

"Xiao Yi isn't just a Miss Xiao now. She is also a direct disciple of Tianyu Peak, a member of the Lingxiao Sect."

"I know you have a conflict with her, but I warn you, don't cause trouble here."

"If anything happens, I won't protect you."

The girl, Xiao Qun, quickly lowered her head, "Yes, Uncle Xiao Chuang, I understand."

Xiao Chuang huffed and didn't continue.

He said, "You are here to represent the Xiao family in congratulating Junior Brother Ji Yan. Don't lose your manners."

Then he said to a young man, "Boyuan, come with me."

"The rest of you wait here and don't wander around."

After saying that, he left with Xiao Boyuan, the envoy of the family head.

Xiao Qun was full of annoyance, "Hmph, I want to see Young Master Ji Yan too."

"Damn, why didn't he take me?"

Someone beside her immediately said, "The deputy head of the family probably did it on purpose."

"After all, he is Xiao Yi's uncle."
