A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother Chapter 59: Ordinary Fate

"Beat her to death!"

"Beat her to death!!"

Lu Ziyin shielded Feng Liuli behind him.

Li Xuanxiao frowned slightly, realizing sothing was off, and quietly retreated behind Lu Ziyin.

"Who are you? Get out of the way, today we’re going to beat this jinx to death," said the man leading the group.

"Jinx?" Lu Ziyin’s face was expressionless.

"The mont she was born, a teor fell from the sky. Right after that, her grandfather died. And since then, wild beasts have attacked our village from ti to ti. If she’s not a jinx, who is?"

"That whole jinx talk is nonsense. There’s no such thing as a jinx in this world—it’s pure fabrication!"

"And who are you to say that?"

"I am Lu Ziyin, Peak Master of Silver Sword Peak from Mount Shushan!"

"Mount Shushan!?"

Even country bumpkins knew the na of Mount Shushan.

Looking at Lu Ziyin’s appearance and attire, it was obvious he wasn’t so ordinary person.

Lu Ziyin added, "If you don’t believe , I’ll do a reading and prove it!"

He then asked Feng Liuli for her birthdate and fortune, calculated on his fingers.

*Pfft!!*

Lu Ziyin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth without changing expression.

"You see? I told you. Her fate is ordinary."

Li Xuanxiao: ..........

That didn’t seem very ordinary.

Due to Lu Ziyin’s identity as a disciple of Mount Shushan, the villagers had no choice but to disperse.

Lu Ziyin gave Feng Liuli another look—both her talent and spiritual roots were very average.

But her fate... why was it so strange?

Just then, Li Xuanxiao said, "Could she be a powerhouse reincarnated?"

Lu Ziyin nodded thoughtfully.

Li Xuanxiao continued, "I checked the beast’s corpse just now. That type of beast shouldn’t be living in this area, and it’s not migration season. There’s no reason it would be here.

This girl might have so kind of special bloodline that’s attracting them."

Lu Ziyin looked at Li Xuanxiao with a hint of surprise.

He hadn’t expected this Junior Brother, whose cultivation and talent were only average, to be so observant.

So powerhouses, in their dying monts, would obscure the heavenly secrets to complete reincarnation—

Prearranging their next life’s bloodline and talent.

That wasn’t uncommon.

But in this girl’s case, why was there only bloodline and no talent or spiritual roots?

Then Feng Liuli said, "My grandpa told to go to Mount Shushan when I turned sixteen."

"Mount Shushan isn’t a place you can just enter. With your talent and roots, forget it," Lu Ziyin said.

"No! I must join Mount Shushan."

"Why? To get stronger? Or to take revenge on those villagers who tried to kill you?" Lu Ziyin asked.

Feng Liuli shook her head. "No. I want to protect more people. Grandpa said a true powerhouse is one who’s willing to take the weak’s freedom as their boundary.

Grandpa also said that no matter what I face in the future, I must never lose hope in this world."

Lu Ziyin nodded approvingly.

"Going to Mount Shushan won’t be that easy."

"I’m not afraid!"

Lu Ziyin glanced at the burned-down straw hut behind the girl, torched by the villagers.

There was still so ti before the sect’s disciple recruitnt. He figured he might as well teach her a few techniques so she wouldn’t get into trouble on the way.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Xuanxiao suddenly said:

"Senior Brother, things are especially busy within the sect right now. Even though Silver Sword Peak has several Senior Brothers and Sisters, there are too many affairs to handle without a leader.

Now that you’re the Peak Master, and since you haven’t found any cultivation seedlings this trip, it’s best to return to the sect as soon as possible."

Lu Ziyin: "This..."

"Leave things here to , your Junior Brother."

Since it was said so directly, Lu Ziyin really had no reason to refuse. He nodded.

He had just taken over as Silver Sword Peak’s Peak Master, and with disciple recruitnt underway, he truly couldn’t afford to waste too much ti.

So he gave Li Xuanxiao a few simple instructions and left.

Feng Liuli stared in the direction Lu Ziyin had gone for a long ti before finally looking over at the plain and unremarkable Li Xuanxiao beside her.

Compared to Lu Ziyin, Li Xuanxiao was like a total background character.

"You... you’re also a Mount Shushan disciple?"

Feng Liuli hadn’t dared ask before. She thought Li Xuanxiao was just an attendant.

"I am Li Xuanxiao, disciple of Mount Shushan."

Li Xuanxiao gave a Daoist salute.

"This place is a ways from Mount Shushan, and there are bound to be dangers on the road. I’ll teach you a few basic self-defense moves."

"Thank you."

Earlier, when Lu Ziyin did the birthdate reading, he coughed up blood.

Li Xuanxiao didn’t dare try that himself.

So over the next few days,

Li Xuanxiao helped Feng Liuli rebuild her straw hut.

He used local materials, caught fish from the river, hunted wild animals in the mountains—

And made sure Feng Liuli and her two younger brothers had delicious at to eat.

Coincidentally, one day happened to be Feng Liuli’s birthday.

So Li Xuanxiao made a richer dinner and added a bowl of longevity noodles.

Then he continued patiently teaching her sword techniques.

All very normal, right?

Then why was Feng Liuli looking at him so strangely?

Illusion! Definitely just an illusion.

Even if she were to like soone, she should be liking Senior Brother Lu Ziyin, right?

I just ask, humbly, that if one day you destroy Mount Shushan, please rember today’s kindness and spare .

"Mount Shushan focuses on cultivating the Ruthless Dao. Once you step into this path, you must take protecting all living beings as your duty and must not indulge in carnal desires. Do you understand?"

Li Xuanxiao emphasized Mount Shushan’s Ruthless Dao.

Feng Liuli nodded. "True love is without attachnt. Grandpa taught that."

Once Feng Liuli’s father returned, Li Xuanxiao prepared to take his leave.

".........."

This Feng Liuli needs to be specially noted!!!

In truth, if Li Xuanxiao wanted to eliminate all danger, there was a simpler solution—

He could have just taken care of Feng Liuli on the road, quietly and cleanly.

No one would have noticed.

But the problem is, doing that would basically make him no different from the Demon Sect.

If you kill soone just because they might be dangerous, without proof, aren’t you the real villain here?

More importantly—

You don’t know if she’s the reincarnation of a murderous Demon Lord,

Or the rebirth of soone with imnse karmic virtue.

If it’s the forr, like Fan Yue,

Killing her would earn you the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, and when you face tribulation, you’d achieve a super-grade Golden Core.

But if it’s the latter—if you kill soone who’s the reincarnation of imnse virtue and carries the luck of the great Dao—

Then you’re screwed.

Just wait until your next tribulation.

The Heavenly Dao will smite you.

And it’ll definitely try to kill you.

So at tis like these, you absolutely cannot act rashly. Get close first. Feel things out.

Could it be that the dream I had, the prophecy, was actually about Feng Liuli?

I really hope that this ti, Mount Shushan’s disciple recruitnt doesn’t bring in any more weirdos...

Li Xuanxiao made a note in his little notebook:

A possibly reincarnated powerhouse with a unique bloodline and a pure, naive nature—Feng Liuli.

Likely to develop entanglent with Lu Ziyin.

Typical traits of this kind of fantasy-romance female lead: frad by petty villains, targeted by hateful Martial Uncles, accused by others—

Eventually gives up completely and becos the Demon Sect Leader!!
