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

Everyone present was stunned.

Monitoring… since five years ago!?

Didn’t that mean everything Fourth Senior Sister had done in her cave dwelling—including bathing and changing clothes—had all been…

Another disgrace has appeared in Mount Shushan!!

Fourth Senior Sister Su Wan quickly realized something was wrong. Her fair cheeks flushed red, and she looked at Li Xuanxiao with a hint of anger.

Zhao Lu, on the other hand, looked at Li Xuanxiao in disappointment. Senior Brother… got stolen by someone else!?

Senior Brother is interested in women?

Then why couldn’t it be me?

Before the others could react, Li Xuanxiao continued, “Everyone, please look. Here is everything that happened with Fourth Senior Sister today.”

On the screen, Su Wan was about to remove her clothing.

Without a change in expression or a quickened heartbeat, Li Xuanxiao swiftly skipped past the revealing scene.

Some of the male disciples looked at him in dissatisfaction. Couldn’t you have moved your hand a little slower?

The footage clearly showed that at the hour of Yin, Su Wan was meditating inside her cave dwelling and had not stepped outside even once, all the way until the hour of Chen.

“This….” Jiang Luoshui immediately raised her voice to defend herself. “But I saw it with my own eyes! And what about these wounds on my body?”

The female disciple beside her chimed in, “Exactly, I saw it too! I wouldn’t mistake it!”

Su Wan still did not argue. She simply gazed at Jiang Luoshui with a look of disappointment.

Li Xuanxiao found himself utterly speechless.

Not even a fart after three beatings—you’re a total pushover!!

What’s wrong with saying something? Just explain!

Someone falsely accuses you, and you just let it happen?

So, Li Xuanxiao had no choice but to step in.

“Alright! Then let me ask—why would Fourth Senior Sister ambush you?

Let me put it another way. Why would she attack you so openly, without even bothering to disguise herself, using her own personal sword?

If she truly hated you to the bone, do you think she would resort to such a stupid method?

Even if she succeeded, what good would it do her?

If she really wanted revenge, wouldn’t it be much easier to take care of you during a mission outside the sect—where you could simply disappear, dead or alive?”

“This… this…”

Jiang Luoshui was left speechless.

The other disciples, who had initially just been watching for entertainment, now nodded thoughtfully, finding Li Xuanxiao’s reasoning quite logical.

Su Wan looked at Li Xuanxiao with a complicated expression.

Li Xuanxiao continued, “So, in conclusion, the person who attacked you could not have been Fourth Senior Sister!”

“Then who do you say it was?” Jiang Luoshui asked in frustration.

“Perhaps someone is secretly trying to frame Fourth Senior Sister.” Li Xuanxiao remained calm. “This matter requires a thorough investigation by the sect. Think about it—the accusation of Fourth Senior Sister colluding with the Demon Sect surfaced right after this attack. It’s obvious that someone is setting her up.”

The Law Enforcement Elder nodded. In truth, he couldn’t be blamed for failing to discern the truth earlier.

The main issue was that Jiang Luoshui had presented all the evidence directly before him.

Meanwhile, when he questioned Su Wan, she had simply maintained a cold face as if the whole world owed her something.

And in the end, she had only said one thing—No way to defend herself.

“If someone is trying to sow discord among our sect disciples, we absolutely cannot let this matter rest. Su Wan, you have suffered an injustice today.

Jiang Luoshui, don’t worry. The sect will find the true culprit behind the attack. It seems you misunderstood your Fourth Senior Sister.”

Jiang Luoshui bit her lip, seething with hatred toward this meddlesome Li Xuanxiao.

Where did he even come from?

Everything had been planned perfectly. Su Wan, just like before, hadn’t defended herself at all in the face of false accusations.

According to the plan, by now, Su Wan should have already had her spiritual roots removed and been expelled from the sect.

She herself would have smoothly risen in status and won Senior Brother Murong’s heart.

But now…

Even so, Jiang Luoshui was an excellent actress. No matter how much hatred she felt inside, she still managed to force a smile and say to Su Wan,

“Fourth Senior Sister, it was a misunderstanding on my part. Please don’t blame me.

The real villain behind this is too cunning. Thank goodness Senior Brother Xuanxiao was here to testify for you.

In truth, I have always believed in your character. If anyone is to blame, it’s the one working behind the scenes with such sinister intentions…”

Su Wan shot Jiang Luoshui a cold look and turned to leave.

Jiang Luoshui’s eyes welled up with tears. “What should I do? It seems Senior Sister is angry with me.”

The surrounding disciples quickly comforted her.

“It’s alright. In the end, this wasn’t really your fault.”

“Yeah, Little Junior Sister, you were a victim too.”

“Senior Brother Murong, you’ve always been close with Fourth Senior Sister. I know she must be upset with me. Could you help me apologize to her?”

Jiang Luoshui looked pitifully at Murong Mo.

Murong Mo nodded. “Don’t worry. Wan’er has always been generous—she won’t hold a grudge over something so small. I’ll talk to her.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother. You’re the best.”

Watching this scene unfold, Li Xuanxiao sighed internally.

I just want to cultivate in peace. Can you people stop stirring up all this drama?

This is literally playing out like a female-oriented web novel.

Just as Li Xuanxiao was about to leave—

“As for you, Li Xuanxiao!”

The Law Enforcement Elder’s voice rang out.

“Spying on a fellow sect disciple and even installing a Twin Recording Stone in her cave dwelling—what do you have to say for yourself?”

All eyes turned to Li Xuanxiao.

Li Xuanxiao shrugged. When he had secretly installed the Recording Stone in Su Wan’s cave five years ago, he had already anticipated this day would come.

So he was fully prepared to accept punishment.

Five years ago, Jiang Luoshui had already been pulling all kinds of tricks.

Looking at Fourth Senior Sister Su Wan’s personality, and at Senior Brother Murong Mo…

It was impossible not to associate it with every ancient cultivation drama and female-led web novel.

Su Wan would be framed by Jiang Luoshui, expelled from the sect, and then—

She would descend into darkness and wipe out Mount Shushan in revenge.

To prevent the worst, Li Xuanxiao had made a lot of preparations.

All he wanted was to cultivate quietly and survive in this world.

But that wish didn’t seem so simple.

In the end, because he had bravely stepped forward at the last moment, his merits and faults were balanced out.

His final punishment was merely six months of confinement.

This punishment was exactly what he wanted—it gave him six months of peaceful cultivation.

On his way back to his mountain peak, the passing disciples gave him strange looks.

Clearly, the rumor about him spying on Su Wan had already spread.

But Li Xuanxiao didn’t care about his reputation.

As long as Su Wan didn’t descend into darkness, he’d already be thanking the heavens.

All the way back, Zhao Lu didn’t say a word.

Once they reached the mountain, she quietly left.

Standing at the door of his cottage, Li Xuanxiao hesitated for a moment before stepping inside.

As expected, a cold glint flashed—

A sharp sword was pressed against his throat.
