Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

Yu Luoning blinked, her gaze sweeping over the two people's faces. Suddenly, she noticed that the two people's eyebrows and eyes were very similar, only their pupils were different colors.

One is purple, the other is black.

His eyes seemed to say, "I'm the best in the world, and everyone else is trash."

One look in his eyes conveyed the message that the life-and-death struggles of you ants were of no importance.

Yu Luoning scratched his head, recalling Cui Xiu's attitude towards Yue Qi, and a shocking secret exploded in his mind.

Zun Du is fake? Could these two be brothers?

Thinking about it this way, many things that didn't make sense suddenly become clear.

For example, when I first met Cui Xiu, he was killing someone. Given his violent temper, I should have been dead long ago.

But she miraculously escaped death by using a series of awkward lines to cobble together the lines of a three-bedroom apartment. At the time, she was quite pleased with herself, thinking that her verbal skills were unmatched.

It turns out that the plot of a feud between wealthy brothers saved her.

Because Xingqi liked her, and Cui Xiu, as Xingqi's unacknowledged brother, let her go out of consideration for him.

Yu Luoning was deeply shocked.

The next moment, her cheek was pinched by a slender hand, and Cui Xiu's breathtakingly beautiful face was magnified in front of her.

"Stupid fish, what nonsense are you thinking about?"

"No," Yu Luoning said, her lips pouting as she was pinched, her words muffled.

Cui Xiu scoffed, "I can tell you're up to no good the moment you look at me."

"Hehe..." Can you be a little more polite?

Yue Qi ignored the others and was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and his gaze fell on the starry jade bracelet on Yu Luoning's wrist.

"What happened to the things the Wen family gave you earlier?"

Yue Qi suddenly spoke.

Yu Luoning was suddenly taken aback. She took out the ancient pottery figurine from her jade bracelet and handed it over respectfully.

Yue Qi raised his hand, and the jade puppet flew into his palm.

He placed his fingertip on the jade puppet's brow, and a ray of divine light entered it.

At first there was nothing unusual, but in a short while, a red light flashed inside the jade puppet.

Yue Qi's expression was as calm as still water, and he made a cursory gesture with his index finger in the air.

A thin line of blood broke in mid-air.

Not only Yu Luoning, but also Feng Qiguang and Shi Shangxu, who were present, had slight changes in their expressions.

"What is this?" Yu Luoning asked.

Yue Qi: "Blood Pact"

Yu Luoning's face darkened: "Damn it, no wonder the Wen family suddenly did a 180-degree turn in attitude. Were they planting landmines for me here?"

Yue Qi didn't speak, but simply cleaned away the remaining blood pact.

He added, "There's nothing wrong with the magic artifact itself. If the other party hadn't activated the formation from the other end, I wouldn't have been able to detect it."

He handed the jade puppet back to Yu Luoning and said, "Alright, the connection with the mother artifact has been severed."

Yu Luoning laughed in anger, "I knew those old bastards were up to no good."

Cui Xiu sneered, "We shouldn't have let them go in the first place. They should all have been crushed to ashes."

Yue Qi glanced at him and said calmly, "The cause and effect have been severed, there's no need to cause any more trouble."

After speaking, Yue Qi looked at Yu Luoning, a rare hint of hesitation appearing in his usually cold eyes.

He was about to leave when he suddenly stopped. "Do you have a message for Xing'er?"

Yu Luoning paused.

Yes, Xingqi gave so many gifts, I can't just leave without giving anything in return, can I?

One shouldn't be so heartless, but when Yu Luoning reached into her pocket, she fell into despair again.

The magical weapons she possessed came from either Xing Qi or Cui Xiu. She couldn't possibly return the treasures given to her untouched, could she? That would be too stingy.

Yu Luoning gritted her teeth and had no choice but to take out a large number of things from her spatial jade bracelet, including fried chicken, spiritual fruit pastries, and dozens of tightly sealed cups of bubble tea.

Feng Qiguang, standing to the side, nearly popped his eyes out, his expression growing increasingly resentful.

Yu Luoning, oblivious to the situation, smiled awkwardly and said, "My Lord, I wanted to give these snacks and drinks to Xing'er. I remember he quite liked these little trinkets. They're not worth much, but I made them all by hand..."

Yue Qi didn't speak, but looked at the bunch of colorful and incomprehensible things, and the corner of her mouth twitched discreetly.

With a flick of his hand, everything was stored in his Qiankun Ring.

The next moment, Yue Qi disappeared from the spot, leaving only a wisp of divine power in the air.

Cui Xiu glanced at the spot where he had left and scoffed, "Finally, the cargo driver is gone."

Yu Luoning looked at him silently, speechless, and said, "The person's already gone, and you're still cursing?"

Cui Xiu chuckled, "I'll scold him to his face too."

That's true.

Yu Luoning sighed helplessly, "Xiuer, you're still my brother, can't you hold back? The Divine Lord was a great help today."

Cui Xiu turned her head stiffly, looking at Yu Luoning with a blank expression, even wondering if she was hallucinating.

"elder brother?"

Yu Luoning smiled at his reluctance to admit it and his eagerness to deny it, with an expression that seemed to understand everything.

She patted Cui Xiu on the shoulder and sighed, "Okay, I understand. It's just pride. It's normal for brothers in wealthy families to have a bad relationship. I get it, I understand."

"You don't understand," Cui Xiu suddenly roared.

Feng Qiguang and Shi Shangxu behind him looked thoughtful.

Feng Qiguang, in particular, looked at Yu Luoning with the eyes of someone who was an indescribable deity.

He swallowed hard, his heart screaming.

Ningning is truly amazing; she took down the three brothers from the Divine Realm with a single move.

Meanwhile, at the Wen family's main residence, tens of thousands of miles away.

"With this blood pact replica, Phoenix Ancient City will be ours sooner or later. When shall we set off?"

A woman with white hair and white eyes stood in the center of the formation, a confident smile on her lips. "Let's go now."

As a teleportation array lit up, the Wen family members and the white-haired woman's group of more than twenty people instantly crossed the void and arrived at the mysterious ancient city intersection.

A figure suddenly emerged from the blood-red mirror.

Just as everyone was about to use this imposter to open the entrance to the Phoenix Ancient Formation, something incredible happened.

Suddenly, there was a cracking sound.

The red dot on the forehead of the fake body cracked.

But more and more cracks began to appear on the body.

With a loud bang, the replica shattered in full view of everyone.

The white-haired woman was furious, her face turning ashen. "Who? Who broke the blood pact?"

However, no one answered her.

The head of the Wen family looked pained.

A ruthless glint flashed in the white-haired woman's eyes. "Very well."

The head of the Wen family said, "What are we going to do? Without the phoenix bloodline, how can we open this ancient city?"

The white-haired woman sneered, "Since the fake is ruined, we can only invite the real one over."

Meanwhile, Yu Luoning and his group returned to Zhexue Peak.

As soon as Cui Xiu stepped into the Ice Palace, she subconsciously glanced at the side hall where Bai Rongling was healing.

His brows furrowed, and he laughed in exasperation.

This pretty boy actually ran away while he was away?
