Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world
Chapter 138 Lei Xiaojie's Tragic Situation
Because Lu Lingxuan's injuries were too severe, although he had woken up, his body had not yet recovered. Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi had no choice but to stay in the town for the time being and send him back to the Lu Ling family after he had recovered.
After leaving Lu Lingxuan's room, having nothing else to do, the two decided to go for a stroll. Just as they left the inn, a little boy who looked about eight or nine years old rushed out from a street corner and was about to collide with them. Nalan Rongzhi reacted quickly, pulling Lu Lingxi into his arms and turning around to avoid them.
However, the little boy lost his balance due to inertia and fell heavily to the ground, letting out a painful groan.
Just then, several burly men rushed over from the end of the street, their faces full of disdain. The leader rudely grabbed the little boy, cursing under his breath.
"You piece of trash, you were born unable to cultivate, yet you dare to dream of living in this world? You are a disgrace to the family!"
The little boy's eyes were filled with fear and despair. His thin body trembled in the strong man's hands as he choked out, "I...I only stole things from home to pay for my mother's medical treatment. She's sick and needs money...that's why I stole from home..."
These words drew sympathetic glances from passersby, but no one dared to intervene. After all, in this world where strength reigns supreme, the weak often have no choice but to silently endure the dictates of fate.
Lu Lingxi frowned, gently freeing herself from Nalan Rongzhi's embrace. She stepped forward slowly and shouted sharply, "Stop!"
The burly men were taken aback, clearly not expecting anyone to dare to meddle. One of them sneered, "Hmph, where did this little brat come from, daring to interfere? Get lost if you don't want to die!"
Lu Lingxi Yao remained silent, but simply raised her hand, and a faint spiritual energy overflowed from her fingertips, swirling around her and forming an invisible barrier that stunned the burly men who wanted to continue their violence.
Her voice grew even colder, "If you dare to make another move, don't blame me for being impolite."
Nalan Rongzhi stood to the side, a faint smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with admiration and tenderness.
This sudden commotion subtly shifted due to Lu Lingxi's intervention. The surrounding crowd began to murmur amongst themselves; some cast admiring glances, while others silently prayed for a peaceful resolution. The burly men, sensing the undeniable power emanating from Lu Lingxi, finally dropped their arrogance and slunk away.
The little boy stood there, tears of gratitude glistening in his eyes. His voice trembled as he thanked Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi, "Thank you... thank you... but, sister, you helped me, they won't let this go. Sister, you should leave the town quickly."
Lu Lingxi and Yao were unaware that the little boy was the young master of the Fenglei family in the town, named Lei Xiaojie. He had been unable to cultivate since childhood. After his father disappeared, he and his mother depended on each other for survival, living in the family's backyard, where they suffered cold looks and bullying.
The Fenglei family, a prominent family renowned for its wind and lightning spiritual power, has a patriarch whose cultivation has reached the Venerable Spirit Realm, making them the overlords of this land. No one in the entire Nevernight Town dares to offend them.
"Sister, you must leave quickly! Those people are servants of the Feng Lei family, they won't let you go." Lei Xiaojie looked up at Lu Lingxi Yao in front of him, his voice filled with urgency and pleading.
Lu Lingxi didn't seem to care, and instead asked with even more curiosity, "Is your mother sick? The reason they beat you is because you stole their things?"
Lei Xiaojie pursed his chapped lips, clenched his small hands into fists, and by the end, his voice was choked with emotion.
“My mother…she is very ill, but the family refuses to call a doctor for her. I…I have no money, so I stole valuables from the house to exchange for money to buy medicine. But I didn’t expect them to find out.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi frowned slightly, a hint of sympathy and doubt flashing in her eyes. "Are you from the Feng Lei family?"
Lei Xiaojie's expression became somewhat complicated. He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to tell the truth.
"To be honest, sister, I am indeed a member of the Fenglei family. My name is Lei Xiaojie, but... but I have been unable to cultivate since I was a child. I was abandoned by the family and even... even often bullied. When my father was still alive, they didn't dare to be too presumptuous. But since my father disappeared... those clansmen have become even more unscrupulous."
At this point, his eyes welled up with tears again, and his voice became low and trembling.
The little boy's fate was so similar to her own that Lu Lingxi Yao couldn't help but feel deeply moved. A trace of resonance flashed in her eyes. This world was so cruel. A person without cultivation talent was like an abandoned boat, suffering not only the indifference of their family but also the humiliation of the world.
"Since no one else will protect you, how about I do it?"
Lu Lingxi's voice was like a ray of warm sunshine, illuminating Lei Xiaojie's gloomy world. He stared wide-eyed, full of surprise and confusion. This sudden warmth left him at a loss, because this was their first meeting, and she actually said she would protect him.
"Yaoyao, you need to understand that even if you save him now, he will still be bullied if the root of the problem isn't addressed. The best way is to nip it in the bud!" Nalan Rongzhi walked to Lu Lingxi's side, his powerful aura making people afraid to approach.
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiaojie's eyes widened in astonishment. He could hardly believe his ears. They actually wanted to wipe out the Fenglei family? Wasn't this... suicide? He quickly tried to dissuade them.
"Sisters, you shouldn't take this risk for me. I'm used to it anyway. At worst, I'll just get a beating!"
Lu Lingxi squatted down, tightly holding Lei Xiaojie's arm, and looked at him seriously, saying, "If we wipe out the Fenglei family, will you feel heartache? Will you fight for them?"
Lu Lingxi's words were like sharp daggers, piercing the depths of Lei Xiaojie's soul. He looked into her eyes, hesitated for a moment, but quickly said firmly, "I don't need a family like that. I just want my mother to be safe and sound!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxi smiled with satisfaction. She gently patted Lei Xiaojie's shoulder and said firmly, "Good, it's good to hear that. We'll go back with you and face those who bullied you together."
When the onlookers heard that they were going to destroy the Fenglei family, they were all stunned and looked at the girl and boy in front of them in disbelief. The girl looked no more than fifteen years old and the boy was at most twenty. Where did they get the confidence to think that they could destroy the Fengyun family?
"Do they... even know the strength of the Fenglei family?" someone whispered in the crowd.
"Yes, let alone the entire family, just their patriarch alone could crush them like an ant. How dare they boast about wiping out the entire family? That's just wishful thinking, utterly absurd."
Lu Lingxi stood up and looked at Nalan Rongzhi. She knew that since Nalan Rongzhi dared to say that, it meant he had the strength, but just how strong was that strength? She was also filled with curiosity.
Afterwards, Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi exchanged a glance and decided to first infiltrate the Fenglei family, rescue Lei Xiaojie's mother, and then deal with them.
