After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

Su Mingyue was startled.

This was the first time in all these years that she had seen Lei Ziyue lose his temper so badly.

With a gloomy face, he kicked the prayer mat away, turned around and stormed out of the academy, refusing to even take the exam.

Elder Qin glanced coldly at Lei Ziyue's retreating figure and ignored him.

He's a stubborn holdout at the academy, long since given up on by the elders. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, they can just let him be.

Seeing Lei Ziyue leave, Su Mingyue sat in her seat, her feelings complicated.

If I had a different senior brother to work with today, I definitely wouldn't have let that ugly monster leave so triumphantly.

She thought Lei Ziyue was a bit stupid and brainless.

However, in the lower realms, the fifth senior brother is aloof. Although he dotes on me, he is more interested in helping our master handle the sect's internal affairs. The eldest, third, and fourth senior brothers have already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and often go out to train and seek opportunities for breakthroughs.

Only Lei Ziyue still frequently stays at the sect.

He may be a bit stupid, but there are many times when I need his help with things, so I still have to maintain and appease him.

Thinking of this, Su Mingyue lifted her skirt, her eyes red and her face full of worry as she chased after him.

Lei Ziyue returned to his cave and sulked.

Su Mingyue carefully sat down beside him, keeping him company, looking gentle, obedient, and worried.

A long time passed.

Lei Ziyue growled in a hoarse voice, "Why did she have to do this, making everyone lose face?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mingyue burst into tears.

"It's my fault. Second Senior Brother only spoke up because he felt sorry for me. Mingyue, Mingyue... I really shouldn't have stayed in this sect. I needlessly dragged Second Senior Brother into being reprimanded by Elder Yun Yao because of me."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe away her tears, but the tears just wouldn't stop. Lei Ziyue, who was still angry at Luo Zhenhuan, suddenly panicked.

He hurriedly wiped away her tears, "You're always like this, taking all the blame upon yourself. What did you do wrong? This whole thing was her bullying others, thinking she's some kind of genius. Don't cry, your body can't take it..."

Su Mingyue shook her head vigorously, her tears flowing even more profusely.

"Second Senior Brother... No. I know it's all my fault... After all, she didn't treat you like this when she first joined the sect... It was Mingyue who stole her Second Senior Brother. I am grateful for your misplaced affection, Senior Brother. Mingyue really should leave. Mingyue is that superfluous Junior Sister. Perhaps after Mingyue leaves, she will return to Master and Senior Brothers' side..."

"Alright!" Lei Ziyue interrupted Su Mingyue angrily. "What do you mean by superfluous? I've spoiled you for ten years and decided that you're one of my junior sisters. I think she's just jealous that you're more favored by our master and senior brothers, which is why she's targeting you in every way."

"She used to enjoy the exclusive favor of our master and several fellow disciples, but now that some of that favor has been shared, she's been throwing a tantrum, showing absolutely no tolerance. Since she's so willful, I will never speak to her again!"

He was so happy when she first returned to the sect.

As a result, his return caused chaos and disorder within the sect.

Upon hearing this, Su Mingyue looked worried: "Second Senior Brother, isn't this inappropriate? She...she's just a child after all, still young and doesn't understand..."

Lei Ziyue sneered, "You're just soft-hearted. What are you thinking about for her? If she wants to leave, then let her go with Yun Yao. Grandmaster Yun Yao will ascend to heaven at any time. For the rest of her life, she can only rely on us brothers. When she realizes that we are the family she can truly accompany for life, she will still come back to find us."

Su Mingyue bit her lip and said softly, "Then, then Mingyue will listen to Second Senior Brother. Second Senior Brother, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

"Hmm, Second Senior Brother isn't angry anymore." Lei Ziyue rubbed her head, feeling a surge of tenderness in his heart.

Mingyue is so obedient. Kind, gentle, well-behaved, and knows how to comfort herself.

Then compare it with Luo Huanzhen's actions.

No.

I'm so angry my chest hurts, I just want to bend over and die!

After calming down, Lei Ziyue seemed to remember something and asked, "Is the low-level secret realm going to start in a month?"

Su Mingyue nodded: "Mm."

Lei Ziyue said, "My second senior brother will go with you then."

He was at the peak of the Golden Core stage, the highest level that the secret realm could accommodate. With his protection, Mingyue's training was much easier.

Su Mingyue stopped crying and smiled, leaning against Lei Ziyue's broad chest and acting coquettishly: "Second Senior Brother is so good."

She lowered her eyes, her eyelashes casting a small fan-shaped shadow on her pale, delicate face.

Yun Yao was too powerful and was restricted by the laws of heaven and earth, preventing him from entering that secret realm.

When the time comes, she will definitely make Luo look really good.

After all, it's normal to encounter uncontrollable dangers or even lose your life when you enter a secret realm, isn't it?

……

Luo had no idea that his death had been planned.

After she had eaten a free meal at Yun Yao's place and slept happily, she woke up the next day ready to order more food to make up for the losses of those ten years. But then things changed slightly – she ordered food, but didn't get to eat it.

Blue sky and white clouds, high mountains and flowing water.

Luo Huanzhen stood beneath the massive waterfall, soaked to the bone, gazing longingly at the distant view—

On a giant rock beside the waterfall sat an exceptionally handsome man in a blue robe, with all sorts of food and snacks laid out in front of him.

It was an absolute feast, making Luo's mouth water.

Her master, Yun Yao, sat there waving a reddish-brown, fragrant pork hock. "Zhenzhen, do you want some?"

Luo Huanzhen clenched her little fist and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Yes!"

Yun Yao's lazy eyes curved slightly. "Then use your little fists to break the waterfall."

Luo Huanzhen: "?"

what?

Although I am not a typical Qi Refining stage cultivator, I am still a bit short of skill to interrupt the surging waters of this hundred-foot-high waterfall.

Yun Yao took a bite and said slowly, "Master has started eating, Zhenzhen had better hurry up and get moving. Otherwise, Master will eat all your sweet soup, steamed cake, pork hock, and meat later."

Yun Yao wasn't joking; he meant it when he said he'd eat it.

Despite being such a gentle person, she speaks in an unusually lazy and slow manner.

But it eats incredibly fast, as if it has a huge stomach.

Luo was completely panicked.

Anxious.

These are all foods she wants to eat; she won't allow them to go into anyone else's stomach!

She threw a punch and started beating Liu Shui mercilessly.

Luo is really too young; her punches and kicks are completely unorthodox, relying entirely on luck. It's not that she's wrong, but there are better ways to attack.

Although both were at the Tribulation Transcending stage, Yun Yao, who had lived for thousands of years, had a much better understanding of cultivation and had developed his own set of insights.

He ate while giving Luo Zhenhuan pointers on his movements.

As she said, Luo Zhenhuan understood everything about cultivation very quickly.

Seeing Luo Huanzhen's rapid progress, even Yun Yao, who was gnawing on a pig's trotter, was filled with envy.

He suddenly thought of a sentence: I have met many geniuses, but they all call me a genius.

What is a genius?

True genius is nothing more than this.
