After passing through the cannon fodder in the book, my brother turned out to be the male protagonis

Seeing that Dong Heng was indeed frozen in place, Fang Yiqin walked past him toward the bedroom. As soon as he entered the bedroom, he was shocked by the tools scattered all over the place. He walked to a display shelf and saw some unrelated trinkets on it.

Suddenly, a jade whistle caught Fang Yiqin's attention. He picked it up and examined it closely. He noticed a small character and realized something was wrong. He immediately sent a message to Xu Changluo, hoping she could bring Xu Rongxin over right away. He looked around the furnishings in the bedroom, and as if sensing something, he suddenly turned around. He saw Dong Heng, who had somehow gotten rid of the immobilization talisman, standing backlit and saying to Fang Yiqin, "You've discovered my biggest secret."

Fang Yiqin gripped the hilt of his sword and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Unexpectedly, Dong Heng went berserk, touching his mask with his fingers and laughing maniacally, "Qin Yi, do you know? No one has ever escaped Dong Heng's territory alive after learning A Fei's secret, and you won't be an exception~"

He got goosebumps from Dong Heng's inexplicable tone, raised his sword and pointed it at Dong Heng, saying, "Whether we can get out or not, we'll only know after we fight."

Fang Yiqin attacked Dong Heng, only to see him crouch down and attack him with a beast-like style of attack, a style that seemed to combine human and animal elements, catching Fang Yiqin off guard.

……

When Xu Changluo received Fang Yiqin's message, she and Feng Xiaoling were being lectured by Xu Rongxin. Upon seeing the message, she immediately blushed and turned to hide. Xu Rongxin said, "Looking at you like that, is there anything that your senior sister and I can't stand?"

After Xu Changluo read Fang Yiqin's message, his expression turned somewhat grim. He looked at his mother sitting at the head of the table, then at Feng Xiaoling, and said, "Senior Sister..."

Feng Xiaoling understood her meaning and left the main hall. After confirming that Feng Xiaoling had left, Xu Changluo told Xu Rongxin the contents of the message. Unexpectedly, her expression changed drastically after hearing it. She immediately stood up, grabbed Xu Changluo, and said, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere."

As soon as she stepped out of the main hall, Xu Rongxin summoned her flying boat and headed towards the Tongdao Sect. The wind on the way made Xu Changluo unable to open her eyes. She sensed that her mother was extremely angry at the moment, so she silently reduced her presence, afraid that Xu Rongxin would take her anger out on her if she was unhappy.

Upon arriving at Tongdao Sect, Xu Rongxin saw several disciples of his own sect engaging in shameless acts in public, their clothes disheveled. He frowned, bound them all with the Immortal Binding Rope, and said, "I'll deal with you later."

Heading towards the direction with the strongest spiritual energy fluctuations, Xu Rongxin's suppressed anger suddenly found an outlet when she saw the person fighting with Fang Yiqin. She teleported in front of Dong Heng, set up an isolation barrier, enlarged her natal musical instrument, and smashed it hard at the masked man.

boom--

boom--

boom--

Before Dong Heng could react, he was slammed into the ground by the sudden, enormous black shadow, unable to break free. His mask shattered, revealing his effeminate face.

Upon seeing this face, Xu Rongxin laughed, saying maliciously, "I didn't expect it to really be you!"

Dong Heng looked up at the woman, unable to recall who she was. Just as he was about to use his spiritual power to break free, Xu Rongxin restored her natal instrument to its normal size, placed it to her lips, and blew out a few short, rapid notes. In an instant, all of Dong Heng's meridians were severed. He struggled wildly on the ground in agony, wanting to beg for mercy but unable to make a sound. Xu Rongxin smiled with hatred, "You didn't let me go when I begged you back then. Don't think it will end so easily now."

Outside the barrier, Xu Changluo caught Fang Yiqin, who had been thrown back by the barrier. Seeing the numerous wounds on his body, he asked worriedly, "Are you alright? I have some pills here, would you like to take one?"

Fang Yiqin waved his hand, supported himself with his sword, and barely stood up. Looking at the bloodstains on Zhan Lei, he carefully wiped the sword with the clean corner of his clothes and explained to Xu Changluo, "Sorry, maintaining a sword is very expensive."

Xu Changluo expressed his understanding, handed over his handkerchief, and said, "Buying new clothes also costs spirit stones, Fellow Daoist Fang, why don't you use my handkerchief?"

He looked at the clothes, then at the handkerchief, and finally decided to accept the offer. He said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm a little short on cash right now, but I'll buy you another one when I'm better off."

The female cultivator in front of him blushed and waved her hand, saying, "No need, no need! It's just a handkerchief. If Fellow Daoist Fang needs it, I can give you the rest of my handkerchiefs."

"We don't accept spirit stones." Perhaps fearing that Fang Yiqin would ask for spirit stones, Xu Changluo hurriedly added.

This made Fang Yiqin even more embarrassed, and he decided to ask Zhou Feihan for a huge sum of spirit stones after this mission was over.

Looking at the barrier erected by Xu Rongxin, Fang Yiqin said, "It seems your leader still cares about you. I didn't think you would arrive so quickly."

Xu Changluo lowered his eyes, bit his lip lightly, and said with a puzzled tone, "It's not like this on normal days. I don't know what's wrong with me today. As soon as I mentioned it, the sect leader immediately set off."

They looked at the two people facing off inside the barrier. Unable to hear their conversation, they could only judge from their body language. The woman was venting her anger in the most primal way, while the man was powerless to resist and was dragged into the hall.

Xu Rongxin dragged Dong Heng into the bedchamber and said, "In the secret realm twenty-four years ago, do you still remember the female cultivator you used your 'life-draining' technique on?"

Upon hearing her words, Dong Heng recalled that when he had just learned the Great Harmony Technique, he had accidentally entered a secret realm where he encountered a severely injured female cultivator. Thinking that she was going to die soon anyway, he might as well make the most of her value and thus used his sexual energy to replenish his essence.

"You're actually alive?" Dong Heng exclaimed, his eyes wide and his voice hoarse.

"What, are you disappointed?" Xu Rongxin took back her belongings from the antique shelf, glanced at him sideways, and said, "I never expected that you would actually establish a sect right under my nose. These are all the relics of the cultivators you harvested, aren't they?"

She ground her foot against his body and asked, "If I remember correctly, all the cultivators who practiced the Joyful Union Technique were suppressed and eliminated by the Heavenly Dao back then. How exactly did you escape?"

Not expecting Dong Heng to answer the question, Xu Rongxin knew that this person had a great relationship with the Hehuan Sect and that his life or death was no longer something that Xu Rongxin alone could decide. So she beat him up again before passing on the message to the other two sect leaders.

She squeezed the old jade whistle into dust, trying to crush the humiliation of many years ago. But when she walked out of the palace and saw Xu Changluo in the distance, her emotions were complicated. For many years, just seeing Xu Changluo's face would make her inexplicably furious. But because of blood ties, every time she grabbed Xu Changluo's neck, "motherly love" would sweep over her, and she would hug the small body tightly and repeat her guilt.

Over the years, she had fantasized countless times that Xu Changluo would leave this world for various reasons. As long as she didn't do it herself, she wouldn't feel guilty... right?

? ? ……?

But why? Every time she saw Xu Changluo's red, swollen eyes from the shadows, her heart would clench. She attributed all these abnormalities to her lack of ruthlessness and insufficient cultivation, thinking that once she ascended, she would no longer have to worry about these problems.
