A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 58: Wangcai and Fugui

Silver Sword Peak, formerly led by Daoist Lingxu.

After the old Sect Leader was righteously executed by Li Xuanxiao, Lingxu took over as the new Sect Leader.

Logically speaking, the one who should have succeeded the position of Silver Sword Peak Master was the widely supported First Senior Brother of Silver Sword Peak, Xue Yun.

However, Xue Yun decided to pursue love and left Mount Shushan.

So for a while, Silver Sword Peak had no suitable candidate.

Now, they finally had one.

Lu Ziyin, once the youngest Nascent Soul cultivator of Mount Shushan, and also the youngest to reach Spirit Transformation.

It’s just that later this record was broken by Xue Yun.

Lu Ziyin had entered closed-door life-or-death seclusion fifteen years ago, and now, he had finally emerged.

And the moment he did, he took over as Silver Sword Peak Master.

“Greetings, Peak Master.”

Lu Ziyin gave a small nod and swept his gaze across the crowd.

Excluding outer sect disciples, Silver Sword Peak currently had eighteen direct disciples.

“From now on, we must all work together to strengthen Silver Sword Peak, and strengthen Mount Shushan.”

Everyone spoke in unison: “We will do our best to assist Senior Brother.”

Lu Ziyin was of the same generation as them, and was the first among the younger disciples to take up the position of Peak Master.

He gave a few more instructions.

With the sect's disciple recruitment approaching, and Lu Ziyin just taking over Silver Sword Peak, he naturally wanted to make an impression.

He planned to take this opportunity to go down the mountain and seek out some talented cultivation seedlings, hoping for a stroke of luck.

As for the other disciples, they would remain in the sect and search for suitable candidates among the newcomers who had made it up the mountain.

Although people came from all corners of the land to attend Shushan’s recruitment, inevitably, some gifted individuals might miss it for various reasons.

So the Peak Master’s journey down the mountain was partly to search for outstanding disciples.

“Junior Brother Xuanxiao, Junior Sister Zhao Lu, your cultivation is still in the Qi Refining Stage. You should focus on cultivating well in your cave dwelling. Leave these matters to the other Senior Brothers and Sisters.”

Lu Ziyin had considered everything thoroughly.

On one hand, those in the Qi Refining Stage should prioritize cultivation.

On the other hand, sending two disciples in the Qi Refining Stage out to recruit would be a bit embarrassing.

Zhao Lu had no objections.

But Li Xuanxiao said, “Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Peak Master. But I recently broke through the Qi Refining Stage and have stepped into Foundation Establishment. Recruitment concerns the future of Silver Sword Peak—I would like to contribute what little I can.”

Several Senior Brothers and Sisters turned their attention to him and swept him with their divine sense.

Little Junior Brother’s aura had indeed reached Foundation Establishment.

“Little Junior Brother, you’ve finally broken through Qi Refining.”

“Congratulations!”

“Little Junior Brother, keep it up. But don’t get cocky—you're still far from your Senior Brother who's at Golden Core.”

“Get lost. Little Junior Brother, don’t listen to him. Don’t rush things.”

“........”

Each one had something to say—it was clear they were genuinely happy for Li Xuanxiao’s breakthrough.

Lu Ziyin said, “It’s good that you have this intention.”

Li Xuanxiao added, “Senior Brother, if you're going down the mountain to find disciples, I’d like to accompany you.”

Li Xuanxiao was worried Lu Ziyin might turn him down.

So he added, “After this breakthrough, I was planning to go down the mountain to travel and steady my mindset. Since it just happens to coincide with Shushan’s grand disciple recruitment, I thought I wouldn’t get the chance. Thankfully, Senior Brother is going down the mountain now—this way, I can follow you and learn more.”

Sure enough, after hearing that, Lu Ziyin swallowed back the words he’d been about to say and changed his tone:

“In that case, Xuanxiao, you can come with me.”

Li Xuanxiao’s reason for wanting to follow Lu Ziyin was simple.

He didn’t know much about Lu Ziyin.

After all, the man had been in seclusion for fifteen years.

What he did know was that Lu Ziyin was aloof and focused solely on cultivation.

He had mastered the Ruthless Dao.

Dressed in a long robe as white as snow, his looks were flawless.

His features carried a scholarly elegance, as though untouched by worldly dust.

Every movement exuded an extraordinary aura—gentle and cultured like jade, yet relaxed and unrestrained like drifting clouds.

Such elegance and grace—he was truly one of a kind.

And that made him extremely dangerous!!

This kind of person was the most likely to descend into darkness.

“...........”

The next day.

Li Xuanxiao followed Lu Ziyin down the mountain.

They headed west from Mount Shushan, traveling for several days.

Lu Ziyin’s sword flight was incredibly fast.

He flew casually, and later the two of them landed on an official road to have some tea.

They enjoyed the scenery along the way and continued walking leisurely.

A few days later, they had passed through several towns but still hadn’t found a suitable candidate.

Just when Lu Ziyin thought the trip might be fruitless...

That evening, as they passed through a village—

They saw flames shooting into the sky. A fierce beast was wreaking havoc in the village.

“Help!”

A sweet and delicate-looking girl clung to a tree branch, crying out in panic.

The black wolf below calmly opened its bloodthirsty maw, just waiting for her to fall.

At that critical moment—

A figure flashed by and caught the girl in his arms.

The girl stared blankly at the man who had caught her. That impossibly handsome face was seared into her memory.

Lu Ziyin cradled the girl and spun as they descended.

Cherry blossoms fluttered down from the trees.

Li Xuanxiao watched the scene.

He blinked. His head felt itchy.

Why did this scene feel so familiar?

“Watch out!”

In the girl’s eyes, the reflection of the wolf demon approached.

The next second, the wolf demon smoothly collapsed to the ground.

“Woof woof woof~”

Lu Ziyin casually waved his hand, killing the wolf demon, and then gently set the girl down.

The girl stared at Lu Ziyin, unblinking.

At that moment, two little boys ran over crying and calling for their sister.

The girl hugged the boys. “These are my little brothers, Fugui and Wangcai. Are you an immortal? Thank you for saving me.”

“To slay demons and uphold justice is the duty of all cultivators.”

The girl’s bright eyes sparkled. “My name is Feng Liuli. I still don’t know your name?”

Li Xuanxiao at the side: (⊙o⊙)…

Your two little brothers are named Fugui and Wangcai.

And your name is Feng Liuli!?

You selfish thing!!

Why couldn’t you just be named Cuihua?!

Feng Liuli... you expect me to believe you're a background character with that name?

Are you even in the same layer as the rest of this village?

“Excuse me, Immortal Master, are you a disciple of Mount Shushan?” Feng Liuli asked curiously.

“I am.”

“Before he passed, my grandfather told me that when I turned sixteen, I must join Mount Shushan.”

“Who was your grandfather?”

“My grandfather’s name was Tiezhu. He was the village blacksmith.”

As they spoke, a group of villagers holding various farming tools surrounded them.

“Beat that jinx to death!”

“It’s because of her that disasters keep striking our village!!”

“Jinx, it wasn’t enough that you got your family killed—you still want to kill the rest of us?”
