now!

The temperature inside the entire private room suddenly dropped to freezing point, as if it had fallen into the deepest hell.

The surrounding air seemed frozen, condensing into visible, tiny ice crystals that shimmered with a chilling light.

Luo Shisan's white robes seemed to transform into swirling snowflakes, enveloping him.

Her white robes fluttered like snowflakes, exuding a cold yet exquisite beauty.

Those eyes saw no one else but Shen Shuchou.

Although his gaze was filled with endless coldness, it also revealed a variety of complex emotions.

Disbelief surged like a raging wave in his eyes, anger was about to burst forth like a raging fire, and disappointment shrouded him like a heavy haze, making him feel fearful.

Shen Shuchou swallowed hard, his throat bobbing, but he couldn't make a sound.

He couldn't explain it, and even if he could, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Now that this second phase has begun, it's like an arrow shot from a bow—there's no turning back.

But just as he was about to get up, a slender, fair hand gently pressed down on his shoulder.

"Thirteenth Sister, why are you so angry?"

Luo Shisi's silvery voice rang out in the cold atmosphere; the voice was crisp and melodious, yet carried a deep hint of mockery.

Upon hearing this, Luo Shisan turned his gaze to Luo Shisi.

His gaze was icy cold, carrying a terrifying killing intent that left Luo Shisi nowhere to hide, as if she would be completely crushed by his sharp gaze at any moment.

With just one glance, Luo Shisan didn't waste any words.

She lightly raised the three-foot-long sword in her hand.

In an instant, a streak of sword energy surged forth, like a brilliant meteor streaking across the night sky, swiftly slashing towards the enemy with a chillingly sharp force.

The sword energy was extremely sharp; wherever it passed, the air seemed to be mercilessly sliced ​​apart, emitting a sharp and piercing whistling sound, like the howling of ghosts and wolves.

Luo Shisi's expression remained unchanged, as if she had anticipated Luo Shisan's move.

With a gentle wave of her jade hand, a surge of purple energy imbued with mysterious Daoist intent burst forth, like a surging, boundless river, meeting the sharp sword energy with overwhelming force.

In an instant, the light shone as brilliantly as fireworks, and a powerful force swept wildly in all directions.

boom!

Immediately afterwards, Luo Shisi's calm expression changed drastically. She felt that the sword energy in front of her had become more and more terrifying, like a raging beast, surging towards her with earth-shattering power.

She couldn't stop herself from retreating, leaving deep footprints on the ground beneath her feet.

What shocked Luo Shisi the most was that Luo Shisan's power was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Eight years ago, Luo Shisi was at the Golden Core stage, but since entering the Purple Qi Pavilion to cultivate, she has only reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

While her talent wasn't among the top thirteen, it was still in the middle range.

What she never expected was that in just eight years, Luo Shisan had cultivated from a mortal to the same peak of the Nascent Soul Realm as her.

Moreover, the power carried by the opponent's sword energy was actually superior to her purple aura.

"Stop it, all of you!"

At that moment, a furious roar, like a thunderclap, resounded, making everyone's ears ring.

Immediately afterwards, another terrifying force pierced through it, a force like a towering mountain, heavy and solid.

It forcibly separated the two who were locked in a stalemate, thus preventing a more intense collision.

The resulting shockwave spread wildly in all directions like a raging sea. The entire private room was instantly shattered into pieces by the impact of this shockwave, turning into ruins.

The ground beneath their feet was cracked in layers, the cracks resembling a winding giant python, spreading continuously.

It seemed that the earth would completely break apart and plunge into an endless abyss in the next second.

Then, Luo An, who was in charge, arrived with a group of people.

Seeing the entire private room in such a wreak havoc, his face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

Luo An's gaze quickly swept over the two of them, finally settling on Luo Shisan, who was dressed in flowing white robes.

"Luo Shisan, you are utterly outrageous! I invited you but you didn't come, and now you've come to disrupt my business on the opening day of my Shuiyue Tingxianlou, and even killed my people. What are you trying to do?"

Luo An questioned him in a cold tone.

"For no other reason than to find my younger brother."

Luo Shisan remained expressionless and spoke calmly.

younger brother?

Upon hearing these two words...

Luo An was slightly taken aback before turning his gaze to Shen Shuchou, who was slumped on the ground.

Over the past eight years, Luo Shisan's reputation has rapidly risen in the Holy Dynasty.

She appeared before everyone like a rising star, her brilliance dazzling and impossible to ignore.

What is most impressive is that Luo Shisan, despite being a woman, often appears dressed as a man in white.

Every time she appears in public, she always has a fan painted with winter plum blossoms in her hand.

Little did she know that in Luo Shisan's heart, she could only carefully show her true gender to her younger brother in the quiet of the night or in the warmth of her home.

That was the softest, most secret corner of her heart, belonging only to her and her brother.

As for that folding fan, it was something Shen Shuchou had painstakingly painted to pass the time while he was at home for too long, and he gave it to Luo Shisan.

Luo Shisan treasured this as a precious gift, seeing it as a sign of his younger brother's deep love and concern for him.

So much so that she carried it with her wherever she went, as if her younger brother was always by her side.

The fan was still tucked into Luo Shisan's waist, but the scene she saw sent chills down her spine.

At that moment, Luo An saw Shen Shuchou and instantly understood everything. The source of this disaster was Luo Shisi.

Of the thirteen people, only Luo Shisi had met Shen Shuchou before, so she recognized him at first sight and insisted on bringing him here.

Luo An glared angrily at Luo Shisi, his gaze filled with reproach and fury.

Luo Shisi, however, didn't take it to heart. Instead, she gave him a seemingly innocent yet cunning smile.

Seeing this, Luo An's anger burned even more fiercely, like a raging fire.

But now is clearly not the time to settle scores with Luo Shisi.

In any case, today is the grand opening ceremony of his Shuiyue Tingxianlou.

Luo Shisan dared to create bloodshed here and turn the private room into a mess. He should demand an explanation from Luo Shisan first, both morally and logically.

"Luo Shisan, I don't care whether you're looking for your brother or not, you must give me an explanation today, or you won't be able to take your brother away." Luo

As soon as Luo An finished speaking, his powerful cultivation at the early stage of the Divine Transformation Realm swept over him like a surging tide.

Although he was somewhat unreliable in his daily life, his cultivation level was still a step above Luo Shisan's.

Upon hearing this, Luo Shisan's icy gaze instantly fell upon him.

This is what it looks like at first glance.

Luo An suddenly felt as if his mind had been struck by a heavy hammer, and it trembled violently.

He could actually feel a chilling, murderous intent in her eyes.

With his profound cultivation at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, he was actually so intimidated by Luo Shisan, who was still in the Out-of-Body Realm, that he lost his composure.

"We're all family, why make such a fuss? Thirteenth Sister, apologize to Ninth Brother, and we'll let this matter rest."

At this moment, a young man slowly walked out from behind Luo An, with a gentle smile on his face, trying to act as a peacemaker.

He was none other than the sixth prince, Luo Yunxiao, who had been invited to attend.

"Who says otherwise? Thirteenth Sister, why don't you apologize to your Ninth Brother? Eighth Brother will take care of this and clear things up."

At this moment, another gentle male voice rang out, carrying a hint of persuasion. The voice belonged to Luo Chisheng, the eighth prince of the current dynasty.

Accompanying the two were the Fifth Prince, the Sixth Princess, and the Eleventh Prince.

At this moment, everyone spoke up, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Although they had bullied Luo Shisan when they were children, times have changed and things are different now.

Despite lacking a powerful backer, Luo Shisan's sudden rise to prominence, coupled with the strength and potential she has demonstrated, deserves praise.

Listening to everyone's comments, Luo An's expression gradually softened.

Although he was not afraid of Luo Shisan, he really did not want to make the relationship too strained, after all, it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy.

Luo Shisan listened to the various words of advice from the crowd, and finally left only a cold sentence: "I will compensate for the losses here."

Luo Shisan only mentioned compensation in his words, but never once said the word "apology".

Immediately afterwards, she strode up to Shen Shuchou, her eyes cold and piercing as she looked down at him, a sharp pain shooting through her heart as if she were being pierced by a thousand arrows.

She pulled him up without any hesitation, and then slowly walked away from the crowd.
