The revelation of Yang Guan’s identity as an Upper Realm Possessor caused a huge uproar among the cultivators in Sunset Canyon.
And the cris pointed out by Wang Liang, Yang Yi, and Liu Gong about Yang Guan, after his identity was exposed, boiled down to one thing: though Yang Guan may not be a Demon Cultivator, he is just as detestable as one.
Especially since he practices the path of Incense Fire Will, it’s not hard to imagine the disaster Yang Guan might bring to the Lower Realm after becoming an Immortal through this path.
However, discussions aside, the Immortal Tea Gathering continued under Li Wuyi’s host, but at the sa ti, he had contacted his father to temporarily control the cultivators in Ba Dao Manor’s jurisdiction together with Fenghuo Sect.
The Divine Intent Sect, Xunfeng Country, Baoyuan Sect, and Yang Family were at the forefront.
Even the Wuji Demon Sect was an ally of Yang Guan, leaving no guarantee that righteous cultivators weren’t also secretly aiding Yang Guan.
"Investigate as you will, but don’t take the opportunity to purge dissidents, causing panic!"
After dropping this statent, Lu Jin’an returned to the private room expressionlessly.
Although the information he got from Ning Xu made him feel a sense of unease, since Yang Guan was ’accidentally’ exposed, he also had to take advantage of the Yulin Domain internal investigation to enjoy the sunset before leaving.
By the way... to calm his mood.
Sitting back in his chair, Lu Jin’an crossed his hands, his mind filled with what Qin Ningxu had just said.
He knew that when he originally fled from ho, it was due to his older sister’s intention... because if she really didn’t want him to leave, how could he have escaped her grasp with his ager strength back then?
Moreover, even if he managed to escape, as long as his sister gave a command, wouldn’t the Lu Family retrieve him in no ti?
But he still held onto a glimr of hope...
What if their parents persuaded his sister?
What if his sister was in seclusion?
What if, after coaxing and deceiving him, she was satisfied enough to give him so freedom?
Lu Jin’an considered many possibilities, but he didn’t know the truth and didn’t care anymore.
Because after escaping from ho all these years, he truly experienced ’the sky is high and birds fly freely, the sea is wide and fish leap as they please’, without his sister’s high-handed ’control’.
But today, ten years later, his cousin Qin Ningxu’s words hit Lu Jin’an like a sledgehamr.
He thought the ’freedom’ he had obtained was not ’freedom’ at all, but a facade of freedom that his esteed sister had granted him!
Lu Jin’an suddenly felt quite frustrated.
Although Ningxu didn’t say much, things like ’invite to Yulin Domain for fun’, ’use Jiao Long to pull the chariot’, ’Sunset Canyon is too fiery, command Jiao Long to cast rain’...
Lu Jin’an felt restless, pondering over and over, deriving one aning from these words: My dear brother, did you really escape from your sister’s hands?
In that short mont, despite being at the Late-stage Harmonization Realm and having opened four Dao Palaces, he felt as though there was a mountain pressing down on him.
Just like the feeling before he was ten, living at ho under his sister’s control... suffocating.
Certainly, she was a good sister, willing to teach him anything, but... whatever she taught, he had to learn.
Everything had to go according to her wishes... anything she disapproved of, he could forget about doing, no matter how much he argued.
Because as a sister... she really would hit him.
Though she was just an adopted sister, not one person in the entire Lu Family, parents included, ever treated her as an outsider.
Lu Jin’an still doesn’t understand why, but he couldn’t shake off the shadow of his sister’s domination that still existed in his heart.
Previously, he thought his sister’s strict control was only to nurture him, which is why he started martial arts much earlier than his peers, endured injuries from her training, and then used dicinal baths for Body Refining...
Continuing like this for a long ti.
Back then, Lu Jin’an truly believed his sister was doing it for his own good, so he gritted his teeth and persisted... mainly because slacking off would result in harsher beatings.
But on her eighteenth birthday, Lu Jin’an realized he had been gravely mistaken.
Her priority wasn’t his future success, but for ’establishnt’.
"See, this is the result of your innate talent and your sister helping you with early Body Refining～"
She was very proud of swallowing it all... completely disregarding the thoughts of himself, the little kid!
She had said more than once that working hard on Body Refining benefits your cultivation.
Lu Jin’an admitted that the foundation laid in childhood greatly benefited his current cultivation, but he sneered at her statents.
Clearly, her fundantal goal was ’sister and brother’s cultivation’.
Lu Jin’an admitted that on that night, his body was beyond his control under her manipulation, but the joy he felt was nothing like the euphoria experienced with Nanzhi, Master, and others.
Having experienced the mystery of rebirth... she had no idea how ’frightening’ her actions appeared to the bewildered child.
Lu Jin’an felt he was lucky not to have been crushed.
After that night, he was resolute in his decision to escape... for fear of parents finding out, and even more afraid of her day and night.
It wasn’t the first ti he wanted to see the world outside, but only that ti, he successfully escaped.
No matter what, he eventually succeeded.
But now Ningxu told him, he hadn’t succeeded...
Lu Jin’an closed his eyes.
Mu Qingyue ’looked’ at the Junior Brother with an unpredictable expression, frowning slightly.
On his shoulder, the Little Pink Fox jumped onto the table causing Qin Ningxu to cry out with excitent, rushing to the table’s side with joy on her face looking at Qiu Qingtang: "How cute～"
Qiu Qingtang leaned in slightly to sniff Qin Ningxu, noticing her scent was sowhat similar to Lu Jin’an’s... they were related by blood!
