Four Seas Cloud Moon

Chapter 8 Change

Arriving at Chu Mengyao's courtyard, she was still brandishing a giant sword. I wondered why such a weak woman would practice with a giant sword! The moment Chu Mengyao put down the giant sword, the pig-killing howl began!

A week passed, and Lu Xiaotian insisted on coming every day. Chu Mengyao did not let him down, and was still merciless! Back at his residence, Lu Xiaotian did not let Ling'er disturb him. Lu Xiaotian sat cross-legged, still practicing the Nine Revolutions Chaos Sutra. Time passed by minute by minute. Now Lu Xiaotian was at the peak of the ninth rank, and he was only one step away from breaking through to become a martial artist.

At this time, Lu Xiaotian continued to condense his energy to attack the bottleneck. One hour, two hours, three hours, and just when he was about to give up, with a "bo" sound, the bottleneck was broken. At this time, Lu Xiaotian was full of strength, and his meridians expanded more than twice.

He activated the Nine Revolutions Chaos Art again, and the Chaos Pearl transported the purple energy to the meridians throughout his body. After the purple energy entered the eight extraordinary meridians, it rushed through them with overwhelming force. Although it was only a small strand, Lu Xiaotian could not bear it. He trembled with pain, veins on his head bulged, and his face turned purple, which was very scary!

What on earth was going on? Why was this happening? An hour later, the purple energy became much calmer, slowly returning to his Dantian. Lu Xiaotian let out a long breath!

Soaring Cloud Step, three words appeared in the sea of ​​​​mind. This step is divided into three levels: beginner level, slight success, and perfection. When you reach perfection, you can soar into the clouds! Then the training method of this step appeared in his mind! With this skill, the tigress may not be able to beat me. Just practice it! Lu Xiaotian practiced according to the skill. Late at night, Lu Xiaotian lay in bed and thought to himself, although I have mastered a little, but this step is really mysterious. Could it be that the Nine Revolutions Chaos Sutra and Soaring Cloud Step are heaven-level skills? The patriarch of the Chu family only practices high-level Xuan-level skills! After thinking about it, it is a bit impossible. Heaven-level skills can't be so cheap. Two of them suddenly appeared in my hands! In fact, Lu Xiaotian didn't know that what he practiced was not only a heaven-level skill, but also a super-heaven-level existence!

Lu Xiaotian came to Chu Mengyao's courtyard. Chu Mengyao didn't practice sword today, as if she was waiting for Lu Xiaotian. Let's start! Lu Xiaotian said, Chu Mengyao didn't even look at Lu Xiaotian and asked, "What level have you reached in cultivation now?" Can't you see it yourself?

Chu Mengyao tried it, and with a shaky hand, the cup fell to the ground, shattering into pieces! Chu Mengyao looked at Lu Xiaotian with a bit of surprise, wondering, "How did he do that?" It had only been seven days since she'd last seen him in the water, and he'd already broken through to the Ninth Rank, becoming a Martial Master! He'd leaped six steps! There was no way anyone in the entire continent could have done that!

Suddenly, Chu Mengyao found herself in front of a face, less than a foot away. She instinctively reached out and slapped it, but due to the force she used, she knocked the person across from her with their back facing her. Without a second thought, Chu Mengyao raised her leg and kicked the person, sending them flying five or six meters, landing on the ground in a huge scissor shape. Ah, a scream echoed throughout the courtyard!

The cry seemed a little familiar. Without looking, one could tell with one's toenails that the person lying on the ground was Lu Xiaotian. Lu Xiaotian struggled to get up, pointed at Chu Mengyao and said, "You bad woman, you are so cruel. No one will marry you in the future. It's none of your business if you can't get married." Chu Mengyao said this subconsciously.

The two hearts trembled at the same time. When he was three years old, Chu Xiong took Lu Xiaotian and Lu Xiaoxuan away. Two months later, only Lu Xiaotian and his father came back. After that, Lu Xiaotian and Chu Mengyao practiced martial arts, played, and ate together! They even slept in the same room. Chu Mengyao was two years older than Lu Xiaotian and was extremely talented. She always beat Lu Xiaotian. When Lu Xiaotian was beaten, he would say, "You bad woman, you are so cruel. No one will marry you in the future." Chu Mengyao pouted and said, "It's none of your business if I can't get married." At this time, Lu Xiaotian would run over and pull the corner of Chu Mengyao's clothes and say, "Sister Mengyao, don't be angry. I will marry you when I grow up." Chu Mengyao said, "What if someone snatches me away from you?" Then I will defeat everyone and marry you home in glory! After that, he would continue to practice martial arts. The same words were said countless times day by day, month by month, and year by year! But everything changed three years ago!

Lu Xiaoxuan was sent to the Sword Sect to train in martial arts, returning every three years for a month at home each time. During that time, the three of them were inseparable! Lu Xiaoxuan was exceptionally talented, possessing the highest martial arts rank of the three. At fifteen, when Lu Xiaotian returned to the Chu family, he was already a peak martial artist. At the time, the Chu family's patriarch's son was only eighteen years old and a third-rank martial artist. Because Lu Xiaoxuan was a disciple of the Sword Sect, the Chu family always prepared a family feast whenever he returned. This was partly to gauge the Sword Sect's attitude, and partly to gauge Lu Xiaoxuan's strength.

Chu Xiong had already betrothed Chu Mengyao to Lu Xiaoxuan back then, and today, in front of the entire Chu family, he announced that he would marry Lu Xiaoxuan and Chu Mengyao in three years! Three different opinions emerged at the time. Lu Xiaoxuan and the Chu Xiong couple were extremely happy, while Chu Bao, the head of the Chu family, and all the elders had a vague feeling that Chu Xiong was relying on Lu Xiaoxuan to regain the position of head of the family! Lu Xiaotian and Chu Mengyao were indescribably sad.

Meng Yao cried and begged her father to marry Lu Xiaotian, but at that time Lu Xiaotian was only a fourth-rank official, and was far superior to Lu Xiaoxuan! Her begging was fruitless.

After that, Lu Xiaotian never looked for Chu Mengyao again, nor did he practice martial arts. He spent all day hanging out with noblemen, spending his days in debauchery, brothels and gambling houses, and doing nothing. Lu Xiaotian's behavior in the past few years made Chu Mengyao extremely disgusted.

Half a year ago, Lu Xiaoxuan came back from the Sword Sect. At the family dinner, Lu Xiaoxuan took out a high-level Xuan-grade technique from the Sword Sect as a betrothal gift to Chu Mengyao. Chu Xiong was naturally delighted, while Chu Bao and the elders looked gloomy. There was only one high-level Xuan-grade technique in the entire Chu family. How could they not be jealous!

Whenever Chu Mengyao saw Lu Xiaoxuan, she would think of Lu Xiaotian. After all, they were twins and looked very similar. Recalling Lu Xiaotian's bad deeds, Chu Mengyao slowly accepted this fact. Just one month before the wedding, the head of the family invited Lu Xiaoxuan and Chu Xiong to a banquet. During the banquet, the head of the family and the other two elders toasted frequently. Lu Xiaoxuan got drunk and was sent back to his room unconscious.

The next day, Lu Xiaoxuan was found dead! The coroner's report concluded that he died of natural causes. Chu Xiong noticed something was amiss, but the head of the family and the elders wouldn't give him the chance to investigate further. The body was cremated that same day.

So Lu Xiaoxuan only left behind a set of advanced Xuan-level skills and a giant sword, which is the giant sword that Chu Mengyao is using now!
