Lu

Ryuu went inside the hotel they were staying, he did not speak anything with anyone during the way, as he entered their shared room as his sisters followed him, Shamiran asked with her voice laced with concern for Ryuu, "Brother is there anything bothering you?"

Ryuu's mind flashbacked to the incident that took place a couple of hours ago which had soured his mood.

As both Yang Chao and Dugu Chen were led out by Aika and Minami a voice bellowed out from the Royal Balcony, "How dare you wenches I asked you to forget about the bet yet you defy me?"

The entire hall was silent they were afraid that if they make a sound they will incur the wrath of the Governor except Ryuu and his sisters who were busy speaking about conducting the deal after all since Yang Chao is currently their slave, everything that was owned by him now belonged to them.

"How dare you ign….", began the voice again only to be stopped by Antariskh herself who replied offhandedly, "I heard you before worm stop annoying me with your squawking."

The Governor Icas Brack trembled in anger, "How dare you challenge an official of our Grand Tianyu Empire, I will have you declared you a traitor and have you hounded by the entire empire, I will see where you run then."

Antariskh let out a tired sigh as a humongous aura accompanied by terrible bloodlust encompassed the entire room, "Since morning your people are making me annoyed now you wish the entire Empire of yours to annoy me, a puny empire headed by a puny Golden Immortal, how laughable I have wiped out empires stronger than yours encompassing several planets in a matter of days and you who share this planet with several others dare to challenge me maybe I should wipeout this planet itself and be done with."

While she was speaking everyone who were not related to Ayindril were already on the floor begging for mercy some were vomiting blood and some even let loose of their bowels the worse were the people of the Royal Balcony number 01, the occupants had tears leaking out of their eyes the attendants were already dead of heart attack as Antariskh had specifically targeted them.

Icas Brack shouted out in fear, "Forgive me your holiness my eyes did not see mount Tai, I misspoke with what you want to do with your slave please have mercy."

Antariskh just snorted as she spoke, "hmp, I am in good mood so I will let you off today, Mr. Lang I wish for my business to be concluded immediately I wish to live."

Ryuu closed his eyes as he remembered that incident, "Sister the thing you said to the Governor about wiping planet, are really so powerful to do such a thing."

Antariskh snorted as she replied with a haughty tone, "Of course who do you think I am, it is as easy as breathing for me."

Ryuu frowned he was not amused, "How could you sister how could you kill all those people like that, there were some innocent people there the children the newborn how dare you slaughter them.", his voice increasing as he shouted the last part in anger.

Ryuu for a short moment felt as if he was going to die, as Antariskh raised her hand towards him as if she was going to choke him but she gently patted his cheeks as she replied with a kind smile, "Ryuu do you think so lowly of me that I will harm innocents, there are many planets which are used as base by powerful cultivators there are no normal mortals present as for the planet I destroyed it was a barren one with no life on it and only a small group of evil cultivator hiding inside it so relax baby brother."

Ryuu visible relaxed at that as he gave a bright smile he looked as if he had been freed from a great burden.

Antariskh, "Brother did you not want to help the poor fellow from the auction house I advise you to hurry we will be leaving this city within a couple of days."

Ryuu hurriedly left with Shamiran and Biskha in tow to find his target, 'Lu Shun'.

Sylvana:"For a second I thought you were going to strangle him."

Antariskh snarled as she replied, "No matter how much I refer to him as my brother he should know his place, who gave him the right to judge and question me."

Sylavana, "So true but a barren planet, we have destroyed so many planets when slaughtering our enemies and some of them just caught in crossfire so many lives extinguish by our hands some of them innocents."

Antariskh spoke somberly, "I know but I do not want our brother to view me as a monster, Ryuu is innocent but such innocence is unnecessary and harmful for us cultivators I plan to get rid of that innocence as soon as possible even if it makes our brother looks cute for the greater good I will wash him off his innocence."

Meanwhile a giddy Ryuu made his way to Lu Shun's house, the cause of his giddiness was because his sister suggested that the sneak in hiding from prying eyes so as not to draw calamity upon those people in their absence.

Lu Shun entered their courtyard which was worn out beyond repair, his sister Lu Wu was tending to a sickly frail looking old man, the previous head of the Lu family Lu De was laying on his bed his breath labored.

Lu Wu upon seeing his big brother smiled brightly, "Big Brother you are back, did you succeed?"

Lu Shun winced at seeing those big doe shaped eyes full of hope, his only beloved little sister after their parents death he had helped his grandfather to raise her he sighed as he shook his head, "No baby, I could not afford it."

Lu Wu's mood plummeted but she put up a bright smile on her face so that her brother does not feel sad as she replied, "Do not worry brother everything will be fine.", she knew that the only way was to take the offer his uncle and aunt gave them, she will have to leave her brother and grandfather behind and give herself to the Governor.

Lu Shun cursed the Lu family in this mind as he thought back to the past, how his own family member poisoned his grandfather and usurped his position, every friend of his grandfather soon turned their back on them without a second thought even his own fiancée who he dreamed to spend his entire life is now ....ugh just thinking about that bitch makes his blood boil, he gave out a bitter chuckle as he thought 'even a dog bites an old toothless lion', no he does not have time to think about anything he has to save his ten year old sister somehow, but how when they are monitored by so many people.

Suddenly the siblings were startled as they heard young voice speaking happily to them, "Hello!"

Lu Shun turned around to see currently the most famous person in the entire city Ryuu smiling towards him his head covered by cloak, behind him stood one of his sisters and another who seemed to be their maid, Lu Shun gulped at that the sight he felt afraid as he saw the grinning visage of Ryuu.
