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

After leaving Shengyuan Auction House, Lu Lingxi quickly returned to Yunyao Garden.

As soon as I entered the room, I heard Lu Lingqingyue's voice coming from outside the courtyard.

"Xiyao, are you feeling any better?"

Lu Lingqingyue is Lu Linghuaian's younger sister and Lu Lingxiyao's cousin. Their grandfather, Lu Lingyunsong, and Lu Lingxiyao's grandfather, Lu Lingyuntian, were brothers. Unfortunately, Lu Lingyunsong passed away ten years ago.

He has a son named Lu Lingchenyang, who is three years older than Lu Lingxi Yao's father, Lu Lingchenxuan. Behind the scenes, he often lets the two siblings bully Lu Lingxi Yao and even does some underhanded things for the sake of the family head's inheritance.

Because Grandpa intended to groom Xi Yao's brother, Lu Lingguihong, to be the next head of the family, the siblings became jealous. Whenever Lu Lingguihong was not at home, he would come to the courtyard to bully her, and even bring a group of sycophants with him.

Unfortunately, the original owner was a weak and timid person. When he was bullied, he dared not tell his brother and grandfather if the other party threatened him even slightly. As a result, he died without his grandfather and grandson knowing. It is truly tragic!

Lu Lingqingyue's voice was gentle and soft, but only Lu Lingxiyao knew that beneath her gentle and delicate appearance lay ruthlessness and cunning.

Zhi Xia, who was outside, turned pale with fright and her eyes were filled with deep fear. She was about to knock on the door, but before her hand could touch it, Lu Lingxi Yao had already pushed the door open and walked out.

A hint of joy flashed in Zhixia's eyes, but her lips still trembled slightly.

"Miss..."

She gently patted Zhixia's hand, her eyes full of tenderness.

"Don't worry, no one will dare to bully us again."

Zhi Xia nodded, stepped forward to open the door, then quickly returned to Lu Lingxi Yao's side, spreading her arms to protect her behind her.

As soon as Lu Lingqingyue entered the room, she noticed the change in Lu Lingxiyao, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

Strange, she was severely injured that day, clearly lifeless, and then Lin Wanwan threw her into the Illusion Moon Forest. How did she get back? Judging from her appearance, she doesn't seem to have suffered any serious injuries.

She pretended to approach Lu Lingxi Yao, reaching out her hands to take Lu Lingxi Yao's arm, but Lu Lingxi Yao skillfully avoided her, leaving her hands awkwardly hanging in the air. Her anger surged, but she couldn't show it.

She quickly adjusted her emotions and posture, forcing a smile, and tried to ease her discomfort with words.

"Oh dear, look at my impatient nature, I almost forgot, little sister Xiyao isn't used to being this close!"

She paused, then continued, "Little sister... are you still resentful of your older sister for not helping you that day? You know the Lin family's influence in Guiyun City. My brother and I were afraid of making enemies with them and bringing bad influence to the family, so we didn't step in to stop them. After returning, we were filled with guilt. We originally wanted to come and visit you sooner, but we were afraid that you wouldn't want to see me, so we delayed until now. Please don't blame me, little sister."

After speaking, she naturally withdrew her hands and gently patted her clothes, as if she were tidying up the slightly messy hem of her clothes caused by her previous actions. In reality, she was trying to save face and maintain an elegant and composed demeanor in front of Lu Lingxi.

Despite Lu Lingqingyue's grievances and delicate demeanor, Lu Lingxiyao's gaze remained unwavering, her voice carrying an undeniable coldness.

“Lu Lingqingyue, there’s no one else here, so stop acting. Aren’t you tired? Seeing you like this makes me feel exhausted just looking at you.”

"you..."

Lu Lingqingyue was speechless after being rebuked by Lu Lingxiyao. To her surprise, Lu Lingxiyao was not only unharmed, but had also become so sharp-tongued.

"Lu Lingxi Yao, I didn't expect you to be so tough, you actually survived. But it doesn't matter, your brother is not here, and your second grandfather is still in seclusion. No one can protect you. Crushing a piece of trash like you is as easy as crushing an ant."

After saying that, he raised the golden snake whip in his hand and swung it at Lu Lingxi Yao.

Lu Lingxi Yao channeled her spiritual power, trying to catch the golden snake whip, but Zhi Xia stood in front of her without hesitation.

With a sharp "smack," Zhixia fell to the ground. A deep gash had split the skin on her back, and blood immediately stained her clothes.

The Golden Snake Whip is golden in color and four feet long. It is made from the skin of a level nine spirit beast, the Five-Colored Gilded Python. Without the enhancement of spiritual power, its physical strength is enough to make it difficult for ordinary people to withstand.

As a five-star spiritual master, Lu Lingqingyue's cultivation far surpasses that of Zhixia, a three-star spiritual practitioner. With the Golden Snake Whip's enhancement, how could Zhixia withstand this lash?

Looking at the wound on Zhixia's back, one can tell that Lu Lingqingyue had used a ruthless method.

Lu Lingxi's lips curled into a wicked smile, her eyes blazing with anger.

“Lu Lingqingyue, do you think you can act recklessly just because of your family’s power and status? The value of life is never defined by the strength or weakness of others. I, Lu Lingxiyao, even if I am a so-called ‘trash,’ have my own dignity and principles. The ‘trash’ you speak of may be temporarily behind on the path of cultivation, but that does not mean I will be stagnant forever. Everyone has their own destiny and growth trajectory, and my story has only just begun.”

She gently raised her eyelids, and her eyes seemed to be instantly illuminated by a cold light, sharp and deep, exuding a fierce aura that could not be underestimated.

Her gaze was fixed on Lu Lingqingyue, like the first ray of sunlight piercing through the thin fog in winter, bright yet carrying a chilling edge, making one feel an inexplicable pressure, as if all secrets and pretenses would be exposed at this moment.

Under the gaze of those eyes, Lu Lingqingyue involuntarily shrank her neck slightly, trembling like a fallen leaf in the cold wind.

Soon, her face quickly regained its usual arrogance and haughtiness, as if the unintentional fear she had just shown had never existed. She chuckled inwardly, thinking that she had overreacted.

"So what? Can a piece of trash turn the world upside down?"

In this tense and fierce standoff, the air seemed to freeze, and even breathing felt exceptionally heavy.

Suddenly, Lu Lingqingyue brandished her golden snake whip, like a serpent emerging from its hole, slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, heading straight for Lu Lingxiyao.

This strike contained all her anger, an attempt to defeat her enemy in one blow.

However, in that split second, Lu Lingxi Yao displayed astonishing speed and composure.

A resolute glint flashed in her eyes. Instead of retreating, she dodged and caught the incredibly swift golden snake whip with both hands.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and the two figures were drawn together by an invisible force, tightly linked.

Using the opponent's force against her, Lu Lingxi Yao tensed her arm muscles and unleashed astonishing power. With a sudden pull, the force was so strong that it caused Lu Lingqing Yue to lose her balance and fall uncontrollably towards her like a leaf caught in a whirlwind.

Lu Lingxi quickly adjusted her hands and tightly gripped Lu Lingqingyue's wrist as she wielded the whip. The force was so great that it seemed capable of crushing even iron and stone.

A crisp "click" sound rang out, particularly jarring in the already secluded courtyard.

Lu Lingqingyue's face instantly lost all color, turning as pale as paper, her eyes filled with a mixture of disbelief and pain.

Her body trembled slightly, as if all her strength had been drained away, and her expression became dazed and confused.

My hand... is broken?
