A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Take a good look—this woman before you, whose heart is dead as ashes, is named Su Wan.

At this moment, she was kneeling in front of the main hall, falsely accused.

“Fourth Senior Sister, I don’t know what grudge exists between us, but why would you be so cruel to me?”

The sobbing beauty was called Jiang Luoshui.

She wept like a pear blossom battered by wind and rain, her tears streaming like a flood breaking through a dam. Her delicate body trembled, as if she were a flower swaying in the wind, ready to wither at any moment—truly pitiful.

In contrast, Fourth Senior Sister Su Wan’s face was icy cold.

She looked at Jiang Luoshui with disdain.

Her again. Once again, she was framing her.

The Law Enforcement Elder glanced at Jiang Luoshui, then at Su Wan.

“Su Wan, the wounds on Luoshui’s body bear the distinct marks of your sword. How do you explain this?”

Everyone watching turned their eyes to Su Wan.

Su Wan looked toward Senior Brother Murong Mo, hoping he would speak up for her…

But Murong Mo remained silent, and in that moment, Su Wan’s heart turned to stone.

“Disciple… has no way to defend herself.”

The crowd erupted in an uproar.

The Law Enforcement Elder spoke in a deep voice, “Su Wan, do you realize that Jiang Luoshui was at a critical moment in her breakthrough when your sword nearly took her life? Harming a fellow disciple is punishable by expulsion from the sect.

I also have evidence of your collusion with the Demon Sect. How do you explain that?”

“I have no desire to explain. I accept my punishment.”

Su Wan refused to argue any further.

As soon as she said this, the murmurs around them grew louder.

“This… how could this be?”

“Fourth Senior Sister colluding with the Demon Sect?”

“Su Wan has always been jealous of Junior Sister Jiang—it makes sense that she would act out of desperation…”

“That’s right, not only is Junior Sister Jiang more talented than Senior Sister Su, she surpasses her in every way. Most importantly, ever since Junior Sister Jiang arrived, Senior Brother Murong no longer treats Senior Sister Su with the same closeness.”

For a moment, rumors flew, and voices overlapped in heated discussion.

Su Wan let out a cold laugh.

“Su Wan, you have violated sect rules. As punishment, your cultivation will be abolished, and you are hereby expelled from the sect!”

Su Wan noticed Jiang Luoshui’s gaze.

Just for a split second, she caught a glimmer of triumph in her eyes.

Yes… she had won.

Back then, it was Su Wan and Senior Brother Murong who had brought Jiang Luoshui back to the sect.

They had saved her life.

She had been her benefactor when Jiang Luoshui had first entered the sect.

She had given her the best cultivation resources, guided her in her training, and even risked her life going down the mountain to find a life-saving medicine for her.

And now, Jiang Luoshui had repaid her kindness with betrayal.

She had even driven a wedge between her and Senior Brother Murong.

But what truly crushed Su Wan’s spirit was Murong Mo’s attitude toward her.

Even if the whole world refused to believe her, he, of all people, should have.

Just then, a voice rang out.

“Wait! I have something to say!!!”

“.........”

One incense stick’s time earlier.

Silver Sword Peak.

Li Xuanxiao was cultivating inside the peak.

The sect leader, who had passed away, had left a box to First Senior Brother, who then gifted it to Li Xuanxiao before leaving the sect.

Li Xuanxiao opened the box.

It was a storage-type artifact, similar to a storage pouch.

Inside was a sword case, which held four swords named Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.

A sword manual.

Two Marrow Cleansing Pills.

With Li Xuanxiao’s current strength, he could only wield the Spring Sword among the four.

Spring symbolized the growth of all things, full of vitality.

“Senior Brother, Senior Brother! Something big has happened!”

A breathtakingly beautiful face suddenly appeared in Li Xuanxiao’s view.

That face was like a masterpiece of jade carving, delicate and smooth, with a faint glow that made it look like fine white jade.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains brushed with ink, her eyes as clear as autumn waters, and her nose was small yet elegantly defined.

Zhao Lu reached out to grab Li Xuanxiao’s sleeve, but he effortlessly brushed her hand away.

“If you have something to say, just say it.”

“Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Sister is in trouble.”

“When is she not in trouble?” Li Xuanxiao said helplessly.

She was, after all, the biggest femme fatale in the sect.

Naïve and clueless.

The Jiang Luoshui she had brought into the sect years ago—Li Xuanxiao had seen through her scheming nature long ago and had discreetly warned Fourth Senior Sister Su Wan multiple times.

But Su Wan had never paid attention.

Li Xuanxiao couldn’t help but think of the female-oriented web novels he had read before.

According to the usual plot progression, next would be the Junior Sister falsely accusing the Senior Sister.

The Senior Sister would be condemned, pointed at by thousands.

Her cultivation would be abolished, her spiritual roots destroyed, and she would suffer countless tortures.

And the one to carry out the punishment would be none other than the man she loved—Senior Brother Murong.

Then, the Senior Sister would leave Mount Shushan in despair.

Next, she would find herself on the brink of death, only to be reborn and reverse her fate.

If the world had betrayed her, then why should she continue upholding the righteous path? She would then turn to the Demon Sect.

Since they already suspected her of colluding with the Demon Sect…

She might as well make it real!!

In the end, she would destroy the entire Mount Shushan…

And finally, Senior Brother Murong would step forward to stop her.

The two would fall in love while battling each other…

As for Mount Shushan, and his own innocent self—by that time, he’d probably have already reincarnated.

If you asked Li Xuanxiao why he knew so much about these kinds of stories?

Simple. He’d just seen too many of them.

In his previous life, lying paralyzed in bed, his greatest joy every day was reading novels.

This kind of plot—he was all too familiar with it.

Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, he had to do everything he could to stop it.

“They said Fourth Senior Sister ambushed Senior Sister Jiang Luoshui and even colluded with people from the Demon Sect!” Zhao Lu rattled off like a machine gun.

“I already know everything.”

Li Xuanxiao nodded calmly.

“Let’s go, let’s see what’s going on. This sect really never gives me a moment of peace…”

With that, he and Zhao Lu headed toward Tongtian Peak.

“...........”

“I have something to say!”

Having listened to everything, Li Xuanxiao finally stepped forward, drawing all eyes to him.

Fourth Senior Sister Su Wan, who had already closed her eyes in resignation, now opened them—clear as autumn waters—gazing at her Little Junior Brother in confusion.

Li Xuanxiao cleared his throat, “Junior Sister Jiang, when you were attacked, did you see with your own eyes that it was Senior Sister Su?”

“Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The wounds on my body prove it as well.”

“That’s right, I saw it too.”

At that moment, another female disciple spoke up cautiously.

“When exactly were you attacked?” Li Xuanxiao asked again.

“This morning at the hour of Yin.”

“This morning at the hour of Yin, Fourth Senior Sister was cultivating in her cave dwelling and never left.”

Jiang Luoshui’s gaze darkened as she looked at Li Xuanxiao, who had suddenly appeared to disrupt things.

She then gave a subtle glance to the female disciple who had spoken earlier.

That female disciple immediately added, “And how can you prove, just by your word alone, that she never left her cave dwelling? Besides, Su Wan herself already admitted it.”

“Senior Sister Su, I apologize.” Li Xuanxiao said.

Su Wan was baffled by Li Xuanxiao’s sudden apology.

Li Xuanxiao then raised a Twin Recording Stone. “I’ve been monitoring Senior Sister Su’s cave dwelling for the past five years—her every move is within my grasp. I can prove that she never left at the hour of Yin.”

Su Wan: .........

Li Xuanxiao’s words left everyone present in utter silence.
