Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

The night was as dark as ink, the moon and stars hidden. The gates of the Lu Ling residence appeared particularly heavy under the dim yellow light. Lu Ling Xiyao and Lu Ling Guihong walked through the familiar courtyard, but their hearts were filled with unfamiliarity and unease. They had been away from home for several years, and upon their return, they found that the atmosphere at home was very different from before. The mansion was no longer filled with laughter and joy, but instead had an oppressive atmosphere.

When the two arrived at the main hall, they were even more shocked to find that sitting in the main seat was their uncle, Lu Lingchenyang, while their grandfather, who always smiled kindly and told them about the family's glory, was nowhere to be found.

"Uncle, where is Grandpa? Why are you sitting here?" Lu Lingguihong's voice carried a hint of disbelief as he questioned.

Upon seeing Lu Lingxi Yao and Lu Ling Guihong suddenly appear, a hint of surprise flashed across Lu Lingchenyang's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference.

“Your grandfather is no longer suitable to lead this family, and I am naturally the one chosen to succeed him.”

Lu Lingxi's sharp eyes keenly caught the evasive words in Lu Lingchenyang's speech, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.

"Lu Lingchenyang, you're lying. Where is Grandpa?"

Before going to the Holy Spirit Academy, Lu Lingchenyang secretly colluded with the Lin family to plot to poison his grandfather. After his crime was exposed, he did not choose to confess to his family, but disappeared quietly. Unexpectedly, after so many years, he still has no remorse.

Lu Lingxi Yao never mentioned this matter to her brother Lu Ling Gui Hong. She never expected that Lu Ling Chen Yang would have the nerve to return to the Lu Ling family. If she had known, she would have definitely helped the family get rid of this scourge.

Lu Lingguihong was unaware that his respected uncle had become cold and ruthless, and had even betrayed the Lu Ling family.

Therefore, when he heard his younger sister, Lu Lingxi Yao, address their uncle by his given name, a look of doubt flashed in Lu Ling Guihong's eyes. He thought to himself: How could my sister be so rude? That is our uncle, how can you call him by his given name?

Just then, Lu Lingxi suddenly stopped, a hint of alertness flashing across her brows. It was a sensitivity deeply rooted in her heart that allowed her to instantly detect the subtle changes in the air, carrying a familiar yet chilling sense of danger. She slowly turned around and looked at the courtyard behind her.

"Who are you, and what brings you to my Lu Ling family?" Lu Lingxi Yao's voice was clear and carried an undeniable authority.

As a gust of cold wind blew by, the lanterns in the courtyard swayed erratically, and a group of people dressed in black with cold faces quietly appeared behind them. These people were the mysterious force that had fought against Lu Lingxi Yao before.

"Haha, as expected of the daughter of the Lu Ling family, your insight is indeed extraordinary." The leader of the men in black sneered, his eyes like knives, staring directly at Lu Ling Xiyao.

“Your uncle is already one of us. He betrayed his family for power and handed your grandfather over to us.”

Upon hearing this, the surprise in Lu Lingguihong's eyes quickly turned into deep shock and pain. His lips trembled slightly, and even breathing seemed to become difficult. His voice was filled with disbelief and despair. He still couldn't believe that the uncle in his memory would become like this.

"Uncle... why... why did you do that? Grandpa, he has never been unfair to you in the slightest. He sees you as the future of the family. Why... why did you treat him like this?"

Lu Lingchenyang's face became extremely ferocious at this moment. He could no longer maintain that fake smile, and he was almost roaring.

“Yes, I crave power! I’m fed up with living in your grandfather’s shadow forever. I’ve given so much to the family, but he never thought of passing the position of family head to me, leaving me forever a follower, a shadow forever living under the family head! But now, everything is different. Without him, the entire family is mine, and I will be the true family head of the Lu Ling family. No one can be above me!”

"Brother, this is his true face, cold-blooded and ruthless. Since that's the case, we absolutely cannot let him live any longer," Lu Lingxi said fiercely. This time, she would never let Lu Lingchenyang escape again.

Anger and sorrow intertwined. Lu Lingxi and Lu Linggui exchanged a glance. Without needing to say anything, they understood each other perfectly. They stood side by side, a resolute look flashing in their eyes.

Opposite them stood the leader of the men in black, dressed in night clothes, his face hidden in the shadow of his hood, revealing only a pair of cold, piercing eyes. Their uncle, Lu Lingchenyang, had come to the side of the men in black. The kinship and trust they once shared had vanished, leaving only a fierce confrontation.

In this tense standoff, Lu Lingxi Yao's spiritual energy surged, her gaze fixed on the leader of the men in black, showing no fear. A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, and she gently raised her hand, gathering a fiery red spiritual energy at her fingertips. Then, the spiritual energy transformed into a sword of fire, aiming straight for the leader of the men in black's vital points.

Faced with this sudden attack, the leader of the men in black did not panic. A chilling dark spiritual power suddenly surged around him, forming a distorted barrier that instantly devoured Lu Lingxi Yao's fire sword.

After the sword of fire was neutralized by the man in black, Lu Lingxi Yao gently waved her hands, and flames, like a long dragon, swept towards the leader of the men in black with an unstoppable momentum.

Faced with Lu Lingxi Yao's fire attack, the leader of the men in black did not choose to flee. Instead, he slowly raised his hands, and dark spiritual power condensed in his palms, turning into black vortexes that devoured the incoming flames and dissolved them one by one.

The collision of fire and darkness generated astonishing energy fluctuations, as if the surrounding air was being torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Lu Lingxi Yao was not to be outdone. She once again gathered her spiritual power, and the flames surged like a raging torrent, launching fierce attacks on the leader of the men in black time and time again. Each burst of flames carried the momentum of burning everything, attempting to completely engulf the leader of the men in black in a sea of ​​fire.

However, the leader of the men in black was not to be underestimated. He was agile and moved through the flames like a ghost. Every move he made was precise and deadly, neutralizing Lu Lingxi Yao's attacks one by one and looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

Dark spiritual energy danced in his hands like a living thing, sometimes transforming into sharp black blades, sometimes into sturdy black shields, engaging in a fierce battle with Lu Lingxi Yao's fire-type spiritual energy.

As time went on, Lu Lingxi Yao's battle with the leader of the men in black gradually shifted from an evenly matched contest to one where she gained the upper hand.

Under Lu Lingxi's control, the fire elemental energy became increasingly intense and dynamic. She no longer relied solely on fire attacks, but began to employ more ingenious tactics. The flames danced at her fingertips, transforming into a series of agile fire snakes that sometimes coiled around and sometimes launched surprise attacks.

She also used the flexibility and high temperature of the flames to slowly deplete the dark spiritual power of the leader of the men in black. The flames were like countless tiny fire butterflies, dancing around the leader of the men in black. Each touch took away a bit of his spiritual power, while also leaving tiny cracks in his defense.

Faced with Lu Lingxi's exquisite use of fire-based spiritual power, the leader of the men in black needed to consume a large amount of his spiritual power every time he devoured flames, while Lu Lingxi's spiritual power seemed inexhaustible and continuous.

Although the leader of the men in black was struggling to hold on, his eyes, hidden beneath his black robe, gleamed with madness and resentment, as if he were brewing something.

"You think you can win like this? Lu Lingxi Yao, you're wrong!"

The leader of the men in black suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, and his dark spiritual energy erupted instantly, forming a huge black sphere that completely enveloped him. An unprecedented sense of crisis enveloped the entire courtyard.

Seeing this, Lu Lingxi took a deep breath, and her light-elemental spiritual power instantly erupted, transforming into a giant phoenix of light. Its wings spread out, dazzling and beautiful, and it rushed straight towards the black sphere.

Light and darkness reached their peak in the final collision. With a deafening roar, the black sphere shattered. The leader of the men in black staggered back, spitting out blood, clearly seriously injured.

"You've lost. Where is my grandfather? If you tell me, maybe I can spare your life!" Lu Lingxi Yao slowly approached, her voice calm yet carrying an undeniable power.

The leader of the men in black looked up, a ruthless glint in his eyes. "Hmph, though I have lost today, darkness will never disappear. It will return with renewed force, and you will ultimately become its sacrifice! As for your grandfather... hahaha..."

After laughing loudly, the leader of the men in black severed his own heart meridian, turning into a wisp of black smoke and dissipating into the night sky, leaving only a harsh remark echoing in the courtyard.

At the same time, Lu Lingguihong's eyes showed both determination and a trace of reluctance. Opposite him was his once highly respected cousin, Lu Lingchenyang, who now stood on the opposite side of the family.

The standoff between the two was like a dark cloud looming overhead, suffocating everyone. With a low rumble, Lu Lingguihong took the initiative. He formed hand seals and chanted a spell. Instantly, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to respond to his call, gathering into a red flame that shot straight toward Lu Lingchenyang.

Lu Lingchenyang snorted coldly, his body surrounded by a terrifying dark spiritual power, which contained wisps of resentment and evil intent. It then transformed into a black tornado, colliding with Lu Lingguihong's flames. The intense collision of spiritual power caused the surrounding area to tremble.

Lu Lingguihong gently raised his hand, mobilizing the surrounding natural elements. A breeze swept by, causing the grass and trees to sway. The spiritual power of wood gathered at his fingertips, transforming into tough vines that quickly wrapped around Lu Lingchenyang.

Lu Lingchen snorted coldly, and his dark spiritual power erupted instantly, tearing the vines apart one by one.

Seeing that his opponent had neutralized his attack, Lu Lingguihong quickly changed his spiritual power attribute. The metal spiritual power transformed into a golden longsword, which, like lightning, pierced straight for Lu Lingchenyang's vital point.

Lu Lingchenyang dodged easily with a flash, and at the same time waved his hand, sending a black spiritual energy wave sweeping over, attempting to devour Lu Lingguihong's spiritual energy.

Seeing this, Lu Lingguihong quickly switched to water-based spiritual power, his figure becoming as agile as flowing water, easily dodging the attack. At the same time, the water-based spiritual power transformed into a torrent, attempting to disperse Lu Lingchenyang's dark spiritual power.

However, Lu Lingchenyang's evil spiritual power was exceptionally resilient. Although the water spiritual power could temporarily alleviate its offensive, it could not completely eliminate it.

Lu Linggui took a deep breath, silently reciting the principles of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, and decided to combine the spiritual power of fire with the spiritual power of earth.

Flames blazed in his palms, resonating with the earth beneath his feet. The combination of fire and earth formed a scorching lava, attempting to block and neutralize Lu Lingchenyang's offensive.

Lu Lingchenyang had no choice but to temporarily avoid the limelight, but the dark spiritual power still struggled stubbornly in the magma, trying to break free of its restraints.

Lu Lingguihong knew that although the Five Elements spiritual power was strong, if the key to restraining Lu Lingchenyang's evil spiritual power could not be found, the battle would never end.

Therefore, he used the vitality and regenerative power of the wood element to continuously replenish energy for himself and the surrounding natural elements. At the same time, he meditated quietly, searching for that one flaw that could penetrate Lu Lingchenyang's evil defense.

Finally, in a fierce battle, Lu Lingguihong found a flaw in Lu Lingchenyang's spiritual power. He decisively attacked, fusing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth into one, transforming it into a five-colored divine light that struck Lu Lingchenyang's heart.

Just as he was about to succeed, an indescribable emotion welled up within him—a deep longing for family ties and a reluctance to part with his uncle who had once guided and cared for him. He spoke softly, his voice tinged with pain and expectation.

"Uncle! Turn back before it's too late. Don't let a moment of stubbornness ruin your life!"

Lu Lingchenyang looked at the leader of the black-clad men who had been defeated and committed suicide by Lu Lingxiyao. He understood that the situation was hopeless. The madness on his face gradually faded, replaced by deep despair and regret. He looked at his nephew and niece, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. In the end, he did not resist anymore, allowing Lu Lingguihong's five-colored divine light to merge into his body. His figure began to blur, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke, dissipating into the night sky, ending his sinful life.

As the leader of the men in black and Lu Lingchenyang vanished into the air as black smoke, a figure darted out from the crowd like a startled deer. It was Lu Linghuaian, Lu Lingchenyang's son, and an important but forgotten figure in this family feud.

Using the chaos as cover, he moved like a ghost through the panicked crowd. His movements were swift and decisive, and finally, amidst the chaos and noise, he successfully escaped the scene.

On the way to escape, Lu Linghuaian's heart was pounding like a drum. The scene of his father falling kept replaying in his mind, and his eyes burned with the flames of anger, which was a deep hatred for Lu Lingxiyao and Lu Lingguihong. An unprecedented determination took root in his heart, and he clenched his fists.

"I will come back. I will make those two siblings pay for what they did today. I swear I will not be a man if I do not avenge this!"

As Lu Linghuai'an's figure gradually disappeared into the night, a new storm was quietly brewing.

After Lu Lingguihong and Lu Lingxiyao defeated the leader of the men in black and Lu Lingchenyang, the rest of the men in black had already quietly fled when their leader committed suicide. As for those clansmen who supported Lu Lingchenyang becoming the head of the family, they were ruthlessly expelled from the family under the authority of Lu Lingguihong and Lu Lingxiyao.

Now that their grandfather is missing, the family's daily operations and future plans still need to be managed. Therefore, Lu Lingxi Yao has taken on the heavy responsibility of going to the Upper Realm to find the lost family members, as well as their father, mother, and grandfather whom they miss day and night. Meanwhile, Lu Linggui Hong has stayed at home to handle the complicated family affairs and ensure the family's stability and prosperity.

Lu Lingxiyao's journey carried far too many expectations and responsibilities. She made a promise to Lu Lingguihong, vowing to bring her loved ones home safely and reunite them with her family.

After settling matters at home for a few days, Lu Lingxi Yao bid farewell to her elder brother, Lu Linggui Hong, and embarked on her journey to the Upper Realm...
