"Is his younger sister attractive?"
This soul-searching question almost caused the CPU of You Feng, the ghostly wind, to emit smoke. What kind of question is this?
"I don't know how to evaluate it, but I have collected information on both of them. Among them is a portrait of his younger sister. Please take a look, Master."
You Feng handed a scroll to Xiao Fan.
After taking a look, Xiao Fan saw a young girl with a youthful appearance, dressed plainly, and looking lifeless. She lacked vitality.
She was petite and delicate, perhaps tormented by a cold poison, which made her suffer. Her forced smile made people feel a bit sorry for her.
[Lan Yuhong: The child Xiao Yun's parents brought back from outside, treating her as their own.]
[Xiao Yun's parents claimed that Lan Yuhong was a child they found on their way, with a jade pendant engraved with blue characters. It happened to rain and a rainbow appeared in the sky, hence the name Lan Yuhong(Blue Rainbow).]
[However, Xiao Yun's parents treated Lan Yuhong even better than Xiao Yun himself. A child they found was treated better than their own child, so people didn't really believe the story of finding her, but others were just watching the show and didn't investigate further.]
Xiao Fan closed the scroll and mentally labeled Lan Yuhong as the "daughter of luck." In terms of appearance, she was not particularly outstanding, just average.
But Xiao Fan knew that the daughters of luck were never ordinary people. The youthful swan would surely become a true white swan when she grew up.
Your sister must be very delicate, and she belongs to me!
"Understood, you may leave," Xiao Fan waved his hand.
"Yes." After speaking, You Feng's feet generated darkness, and his whole person slowly descended, disappearing into the darkness.
"First, let's go see Father and ask for some help."
Xiao Fan returned home, not really concerned about the arranged marriage. It was a done deal, and he just let his mother handle it.
He had other things to take care of this time.
...
In the Lin Xian Heaven where the Xiao Family resided, the hierarchy was clearly divided from the inside out.
The most central area was where the main branch of the Xiao Family cultivated. Those inside were all talented disciples of the clan, including Body Integration and Mahayana elders.
The next layer outward consisted of people with slightly inferior aptitude and elders with not very high cultivation levels. They had probably been cultivating for thousands of years and could only reach the realm of Soul Formation Void Refining.
The outermost layer consisted of ordinary clan members with the worst aptitude. It was common for them to form a Gold Core only at the age of eighty.
Although it was the outermost periphery, it was still several times better than the core elders and disciples of ordinary forces.
The outermost periphery of Lin Xian Heaven was the pinnacle that most cultivators would find difficult to reach in their lifetime.
Even in the outermost periphery, as long as you followed the routine cultivation, the spiritual energy environment here could allow you to cultivate to the realm of Void Refining.
Being born well was more important than anything else.
At the outermost periphery of Lin Xian Heaven, there is a dense spiritual energy and a sky filled with rosy clouds. Various Spirit Beasts can be seen everywhere, and Spirit Medicine covers the ground, making it seem like a paradise for immortals.
This is Lin Xian Tian, where there are no dilapidated thatched cottages. At the very least, there are separate courtyards. Those who can enter the main residence of the Xiao Family to cultivate are all outstanding individuals.
The poor environment here is relative to the core area of the Xiao Family.
In a separate courtyard covering more than ten acres, there is a sickly-looking girl. This girl is none other than Lan Yuhong.
At this moment, she is practicing Qi Refining, but the more she cultivates, the more she feels the intensification of the coldness in her body. This is a chronic illness she has had since childhood.
Whenever she cultivates, the cold energy accumulates in her body, so she dares not practice. Until now, she has only reached the first level of Qi Refining and cannot even achieve the stage of Opening the Orifice.
The increased coldness in her body makes her shiver all over, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
The jade pendant hanging around her neck emits a white light, absorbing this coldness. If it weren't for this jade pendant, she probably wouldn't have survived until now.
Xiao Yun has returned.
With a resolute expression and determined gaze, he rushed towards Lan Yuhong's boudoir in the separate courtyard, but he only shouted from outside the door.
"Sister Yuhong, is your health better?"
Lan Yuhong gathered her focus and opened the door, revealing a relaxed expression on her sickly pale face.
"Brother Yun, I'm fine."
Xiao Yun's face was filled with distress as he quickly took out a crimson pill and said, "This is a cold dispelling pill I bought outside. It is said to be very effective. Try it quickly."
Lan Yuhong refused and shook her head. "Brother Yun, don't waste your Spirit Stones. If these pills were really effective, I wouldn't still be unwell after all this time."
Over the years, she has taken countless pills, almost becoming a medicine jar.
None of them have been of any use.
"Just give it a try. What if it really works?" Xiao Yun smiles.
Lan Yuhong's heart warmed up. Brother Yun is such a good person, she can't let him be sad.
In front of Xiao Yun, she took the pill. Xiao Yun looked at her expectantly, but as usual, it turned out to be useless.
Lan Yuhong couldn't help but sigh in her heart. After years of illness, her heart has long been calm and unaffected.
Xiao Yun also had a disappointed expression. What else can he do to cure Lan Yuhong?
Lan Yuhong said, "Brother Yun, I heard that you had a falling out with the clan?"
As soon as this was mentioned, Xiao Yun became angry.
"Hmph, I said you are my sister, but those people refuse to treat you because we don't share blood relations. I don't need the Xiao Family if that's the case."
Lan Yuhong was stunned in her heart. Don't need?
She is not worried about herself, but about Xiao Yun.
She has no blood relation with the Xiao Family, so it's normal for them not to help her.
Because of this, Lan Yuhong felt an indescribable discomfort and felt that her existence made it difficult for Xiao Yun.
Even though this is the outskirts of the Lin Xian Heaven, there are few places in the world better for cultivation.
She doesn't want Xiao Yun to miss the opportunity to cultivate in Lin Xian Heaven because of her.
Lan Yuhong spoke up, "Brother Yun, don't have conflicts with the family because of me."
"The Xiao Family is very strong and they have given you an opportunity to cultivate in Lin Xian Heaven. You must cherish it. When you become powerful, you will definitely be able to cure me."
Xiao Yun sighed, "By then, I'm afraid..."
At the Qi Refining stage, coupled with her condition, whether she can live past fifty is a question. It's too difficult to cure Lan Yuhong in just a few decades.
Lan Yuhong is optimistic. She was already an orphan and being adopted by someone is already a great fortune. Having a caring brother, she has no regrets in life.
At this moment, a group of people arrived at the courtyard where Xiao Yun was.
"Xiao Yun, have you collected the Mingyan flowers?"
"What Mingyan flowers?"
The people looked at each other, somewhat puzzled. Nevertheless, they explained to him, "It's your task to collect three hundred Mingyan flowers. The family notified you a month ago, and today is the deadline for submitting the task."
Xiao Yun coldly said, "I haven't received my salary for the past two months, so why should I do the task?"
He resented the fact that the family didn't save Lan Yuhong, so he ignored the task. He saw the notification, but he just didn't do it.
The person was a disciple of the Xiao Family, and he was quite confused by Xiao Yun's righteous and confident appearance.
"If you don't receive your salary, it's there for you to take. No one is forcing you not to take it."
"But the task assigned by the family, you should do it. As a descendant of the collateral branch, you should understand the importance of cherishing opportunities. Lin Xian Heaven doesn't accommodate idle people. There are many people outside who want to enter here for cultivation, but they don't have the opportunity."
"Collecting Mingyan flowers is not difficult for you. You have more than enough ability. Yet, you didn't do it. Are the rules of the family no longer effective?"
At the end, he was somewhat annoyed.
Hating iron for not becoming steel.
Xiao Yun has good talent and works hard in cultivation. He can definitely reach a higher level.
Xiao Yun angrily said, "If they won't even save my sister, what kind of favor does the Xiao Family owe?"
The person suppressed his emotions. "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have good talent. There are many people in the Xiao Family who have higher talent than you."
Lan Yuhong wanted to speak a few words to ease the tension between them.
Xiao Yun sneered repeatedly, "If worse comes to worst, I can leave the Xiao Family. The sea is wide and the fish can leap, the sky is high and the birds can fly."
But before Lan Yuhong could speak, Xiao Yun completely shut down the conversation.
This provoked a disciple to coldly snort, "I will explain the situation to the clan, you can prepare to move out."
After speaking, he left without looking back.
Lan Yuhong wanted to explain, but Xiao Yun stopped her and said, "Yuhong, I won't abandon you. I will definitely cure you."
Seeing his serious expression, Lan Yuhong couldn't get angry and could only blame herself in her heart for dragging Xiao Yun down.
Seeing her self-blame, Xiao Yun felt a bit proud in his heart. With remorse, she should develop feelings for me in the future.
Yes, he likes Lan Yuhong and wants to make her develop feelings for him by making her feel guilty. As for the matter of treatment, he is very confident.
He has a great opportunity on him. When he is on the verge of death, he will express his feelings and save her, and everything will naturally fall into place.
"Forget it, let's pack up and prepare to leave," Lan Yuhong sighed.
However, the Xiao Family is not a place where you can come and go as you please.
Xiao Yun and Lan Yuhong packed up and were about to leave the Xiao Family, but they were stopped by the guards at the entrance of the city.
Xiao Yun said coldly, "Why are you targeting us?"
The guard replied mercilessly, "You haven't completed your mission, so you can't leave."
"I haven't received my salary for the past two months. It's normal not to do the mission. Why should I be restricted?" Xiao Yun retorted.
"I received orders to keep an eye on you," the guard replied.
The guard sneered, "Figure out your own identity. You have spent a lot of money in the clan in the past six months without doing any missions. Do you think the Xiao Family is a charity?"
"If you want to leave, then return all the Spirit Stones and Spirit Medicine that the clan has given you during these days, plus the rent for your stay in the Lin Xian Heaven. Settle everything, and I will let you go immediately," the guard said.
Xiao Yun angrily shouted, "You!"
"The Xiao Family doesn't support idle people. If you want to leave the clan, you must return everything you have received in the clan," the guard said.
Lan Yuhong persuaded Xiao Yun to calm down. She actually didn't want to leave because there was no place better suited for cultivation than here.
She didn't want him to leave such a good place because of her.
Being stopped now, she actually felt relieved in her heart.
Helpless, Xiao Yun had no choice but to give up, but this was only on the surface. Everything was calculated, and he was also unwilling to leave this place.
Everything was just a performance, a performance for Lan Yuhong to see, proving her importance in his heart.
