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

After spending ten days and nights in the town that never sleeps, Lu Lingxuan's health has recovered, and the group decided to return to Lingyun Valley, the place where the Lu Ling family resides.

As Lu Lingxi Yao's apprentice, Lei Xiaojie naturally had to stay by her side. In order for Lei Xiaojie to improve, Lu Lingxi Yao sent him into the Kunlun Ring to have those beasts give him special training. His mother, on the other hand, stayed in the Lu Ling Clan and was taken care of by the Lu Ling Clan members.

Inside the main hall of the Lu Ling Clan, the atmosphere was extremely heavy. Lu Lingxuan slowly spoke, "Those men in black are elusive and omnipresent, their methods unpredictable. Their purpose in capturing me this time was solely to seize our clan's most precious treasure, the 'Heart of Spiritual Essence.' During the years I was held captive, I was transported to many places, endured countless hardships, and personally witnessed how they extracted the spiritual power of powerful members of various clans, turning them into puppets or utterly destroying them."

The elders frowned, their hearts filled with worry. One of them asked the question that had been on everyone's mind: "Chieftain, wasn't your daughter captured with you? Why hasn't she returned with you?"

Lu Lingxuan's face instantly darkened, and he said in a low and self-reproachful voice, "Wan'er, my daughter, I still have no idea where she is. It is my dereliction of duty as a father that I failed to protect her."

Seeing Lu Lingxuan's remorseful expression, Lu Lingxi Yao comforted him, "Clan leader, please don't blame yourself too much. We will do everything we can to find your daughter. However, I have something I would like to ask you."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Lingxuan's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded slowly. "Oh? What is it?"

Lu Lingxi paused slightly, a barely perceptible tremor in her voice. "I heard from the clan elders that you had some interaction with my father, Lu Lingchenxuan. Do you know where he went back then?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxuan's eyes widened suddenly. He looked at Lu Lingxi Yao and realized that she looked familiar. She was the daughter of an old friend.

"You are Chen Xuan's daughter. No wonder your features are so similar to his. All I know is that your father went to the Xuanming Palace before he disappeared, and has not been seen since."

Lu Lingxi frowned slightly, a hint of confusion and curiosity in her eyes. "Xuanming Palace? What kind of place is that?"

Lu Lingxuan slowly spoke, "The Xuanming Palace is located in the dark land of Xuanming Shadow Domain in the west of the continent. It is a dark force that mainly cultivates dark spiritual power. The cultivators there are skilled at manipulating dark elements and the power of death. I have a feeling that those mysterious men in black are inseparable from the Xuanming Palace."

Nalan Rongzhi's voice suddenly interrupted, carrying a deep tone, "The clues I've uncovered are related to the Xuanming Palace. All indications suggest that behind those men in black, there may be an even larger force, not just the Xuanming Palace."

Lu Lingxi Yao slowly looked at Nalan Rongzhi. Their eyes met in the air. Without words, their tacit understanding and resolute determination were already clear.

"It seems we should make a trip to the Xuanming Palace." Her voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable firmness.

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxuan's body trembled slightly, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. How could he let these two juniors take such a risk? He spoke, his tone carrying an undeniable authority.

"I disagree! If anyone's going, it should be me. How can I let you two juniors put yourselves in danger!"

Lu Lingxi gently shook her head and slowly said, "Uncle Xuan, you know the current situation of the Lu Ling Clan. They are surrounded by wolves, and all the major forces are eyeing the 'Heart of Spiritual Essence'. If you leave, who in the clan can stabilize the situation? We were able to escape last time, but if we are surrounded again, what will become of the Lu Ling Clan? You are the heart of the Lu Ling Clan, and the clan cannot do without you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lingxuan frowned, his heart filled with mixed feelings. What Lu Lingxi Yao said made sense, but he was still worried about letting her go to the Xuanming Palace alone.

Nalan Rongzhi spoke up at the right moment, "Clan leader, rest assured, with me here, Yao Yao will not be harmed in the slightest. I will protect her with my life."

After receiving Nalan Rongzhi's assurance, Lu Lingxuan finally felt a sense of relief. This man, who looked to be no more than twenty years old, was someone whose strength he could not fathom, even though his cultivation had already reached the Venerable Spirit Realm. He felt that this man was unfathomable and that his strength was probably above his own. More importantly, he had seen Nalan Rongzhi's care and protection for Lu Lingxi along the way and found him to be a very responsible person.

Lu Lingxuan nodded slowly, his voice tinged with a hint of helplessness: "Alright, then you must be careful on this trip and not act rashly. If you encounter danger, be sure to retreat immediately and do not linger in battle."

Lu Lingxi smiled and said, "Okay, Uncle Xuan!"
