The King Guang Mansion was brightly lit under the night sky, serene and quiet.
In the luxurious courtyard, various rare spirit plants emitted dazzling colors, beautiful like a dreamscape.
However, the sudden descent of Luo Xiu instantly shattered this beauty.
Under the ginkgo tree.
Luo Yunnie's hand holding the cup stiffened in mid-air, her gaze at Luo Xiu gradually becoming complex.
Gu Jianxi's almond-shaped eyes widened, her beautiful eyes trembled, her jade hand lightly covering her lips, feeling incredulous.
"Tian'er... are you really... my Tian'er?"
Luo Xiu exchanged glances with Gu Jianxi and nodded slightly.
"Tian'er!"
Gu Jianxi suddenly shouted, got up, and rushed forward to embrace Luo Xiu.
"Tian'er, my Tian'er is finally back!"
"Mother has missed you so much!"
"Wuwuwu... my Tian'er..."
"Tian'er, please don't leave mother again, okay?"
"Let's be a happy family together, not going anywhere, promise mother, okay?"
"..."
Gu Jianxi's eyes flooded with tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
Luo Xiu quietly sighed, gently pushing Gu Jianxi away.
He knew Gu Jianxi was probably pretending, but he couldn't help feeling soft-hearted.
At this mont, Luo Yunnie stood up and walked over, saying, "Jianxi, go inside for a mont. I have sothing to discuss with Tian'er."
Shortly.
After Gu Jianxi reluctantly returned to the building, glancing back every three steps, Luo Yunnie walked up to Luo Xiu, her expression gradually turning gloomy.
"I never thought you would suddenly co here like this."
Luo Xiu sized her up, smiling, "Compared to the last ti we t at the Heavenly Moon Cult, you seem stronger now. Looks like you've obtained quite a few good things from there."
Luo Yunnie didn't respond to his comnt, suddenly asking, "What are you here for?"
Luo Xiu answered frankly, "To find Luo Hao, and to look at you two elders."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yunnie was silent for a mont, then asked, "Are you two brothers really going to co to this?"
"Tian'er, your brother's not targeting you; he's just competitive and jealous of you."
"Listen to your father, go and make peace with your brother, let him feel he's surpassed you, and let this matter pass. In the future, you two brothers will join forces to uphold the true way of Heaven!"
Luo Xiu chuckled calmly, "It seems there is indeed a difference between being biological and adopted."
"Oh, asking to make peace with him, why don't you ask him to apologize to ?"
"With what he has done behind my back, between us, who is at fault, isn't it clear to you in your heart?"
Luo Yunnie angrily said, "Things are already over! Why do you still hold on to them? So stubborn and unrepentant!"
"Besides, it was only after those things happened back then, that your father knew. What do you expect your father to do?!"
"Also, Tian'er, you're wrong! I've always treated you as my own, in my heart, you and your brother have always had the sa weight!"
Luo Xiu sneered, "That makes it sound like you're quite remarkable, having weight in your heart seems to be a kind of honor."
Luo Yunnie took a deep breath, saying, "Tian'er, listen to your father, give it up! Don't act like a child and cause trouble anymore!"
"Regardless of the facts, he's your brother after all; you two grew up together since childhood!"
Hearing this, Luo Xiu couldn't help but laugh.
"I'm only realizing now, you're quite disgusting... If you can disregard the facts, what is there left to talk about?"
Luo Xiu looked at her, his tone slightly heavy, "Let make it clear—between Luo Hao and , only one of us will survive!"
"No one can stop this."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yunnie's face turned ashen, her body trembled, fists clenched tightly.
"You insolent child, so stubborn and unrepentant!"
Her anger reached a boiling point, she suddenly raised her hand to slap Luo Xiu.
With a crisp sound.
Luo Xiu didn't even glance, casually deflecting her slap, speaking indifferently, "But rest assured, I'm not here tonight for revenge, there are other matters."
Luo Yunnie glared at Luo Xiu, gritting her teeth, "You're an unfilial son, is it only when the family is shattered that you're satisfied?"
"Even if you're not biological, the years of upbringing generosity, do you disregard it?"
Luo Xiu's expression was cold, "What, starting to use moral weapons now?"
"It's a fact! If we didn't take you in back then, you'd have died in the wilderness long ago!"
Luo Xiu suddenly knelt and kowtowed three tis, loudly saying, "Thank you, Prince and Princess Consort, for many years of upbringing!"
Then he stood up, saying, "Prince, I've co tonight to repay these years of upbringing."
Luo Yunnie coldly said, "How do you intend to repay?"
Luo Xiu looked baffled, "Didn't I just thank you?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yunnie was dumbfounded.
She suddenly couldn't process it.
"A simple thank you to repay years of upbringing generosity?"
Luo Xiu thought for a mont, saying, "If it's not enough, how about I kneel and kowtow a few more tis to the Prince?"
"Or the Prince could calculate how much you spent on living expenses during those years, and I'll compensate you all at once."
Luo Yunnie's chest heaved with anger, glaring at Luo Xiu.
Luo Xiu said, "If we calculate, without , you would have just remained an oppressed Luo Clan Outer Tribe. How would you have this status today?"
"Your family enjoys everything I've brought you, yet secretly stabs in the back; it's truly disgusting."
With that, he took Hua Muyan's hand and turned away, speaking somberly, "Now, imdiately, take to find Luo Hao!"
"If you don't lead, I'll tear the Imperial Palace down to force him out!"
Luo Yunnie exhaled deeply, feeling helpless, stepped forward.
"Follow ."
She was naturally afraid of Luo Xiu causing trouble in the Imperial Palace.
With Luo Xiu's power, if he ran amok here, no one could control him.
More importantly, this would cause unimaginable damage to the Imperial Palace!
What she feared the most was Luo Xiu exposing the Azure Emperor's identity.
After all, many people still don't know the truth about those events back then, remaining loyal to the Azure Emperor!
anwhile.
In the attic.
Gu Jianxi's face was extrely gloomy, watching Luo Xiu's departing figure, she suddenly said, "Notify Shadow Tower's assassins, no matter what, tonight, leave behind this demon!"
"Yes, Consort!"
"..."
...
Deep within the Imperial Palace.
The forbidden retreat area.
Luo Yunnie suddenly stopped, saying to Luo Xiu, "Follow this stone path, the end is where he's retreating. I won't lead you there."
Luo Xiu ignored her, leading Hua Muyan's hand straight forward.
On the forest path.
Seeing no one around, Hua Muyan let out a long sigh, her jade hand patting her chest, saying, "Master, back at King Guang's Mansion, when you confronted your fu... you confronted Luo Yunnie, the atmosphere was so oppressive, Yan'er was so scared she didn't dare breathe."
Luo Xiu chuckled indifferently, "What are you afraid of, I'm here."
Hua Muyan laughed, "But Master, you're amazing, resolving this matter so simply."
"Yan'er was wondering how you would handle the relationship with that couple, but didn't expect it to be such a straightforward simple way."
"It's just like your Sword Dao, direct and straightforward."
"..."
As they chatted, hurried footsteps suddenly ca from ahead, in the dim light.
Zhu Yu and i Nu rushed over, leading a group of Heavenly Azure War Soldiers, blocking Luo Xiu's path.
Luo Xiu stopped, looking amusedly at i Nu.
"Little i, long ti no see."
"..."
