Chapter 435: Choosing to Sever Ties

"Lu Xiang, you dare to scold me?!" Gui Yan Hong's face flushed red with anger, she directly raised her hand and slapped Lu Xiangxiang.

But Lu Xiangxiang had long anticipated her move, she grabbed her hand with one hand and with the other slapped Gui Yan Hong back!

Pa!

The crisp slap sound rang out!

Gui Yan Hong's head was slapped askew, traces of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, her fair cheeks instantly showed several red fingerprints, then quickly swelled up.

Gui Yan Hong was dazed by the slap, a burning pain spread from her cheeks.

"Yan Hong!" Gui Yan Qing beside her saw this, his pupils shrank slightly, he hurried forward, wanting to check Gui Yan Hong's injury.

But as his hand just touched Gui Yan Hong's sleeve, he saw her acting like she had gone mad, lunging towards Lu Xiangxiang.

"You dare hit me! You dare hit me!" Gui Yan Hong roared, ashamed and furious.

"Lu Xiang, you're courting death!"

"I'll kill you! Kill you!"

Gui Yan Hong's eyes turned red with rage, she threw herself at Lu Xiangxiang without regard for her image, raising both hands to strangle Lu Xiangxiang's neck.

Lu Xiangxiang's expression changed slightly, she immediately retaliated, mercilessly punching Gui Yan Hong in the abdomen.

This punch carried spiritual power, directly blasting Gui Yan Hong flying, she crashed heavily to the ground.

"Yan Hong!" Gui Yan Qing's face changed dramatically, he hurried to help Gui Yan Hong up.

Lu Xiangxiang coldly glanced at the two siblings, then prepared to leave, but she heard Gui Yan Qing's voice laced with anger.

"Miss Lu, make Yan Hong apologize!"

Lu Xiangxiang said coldly: "It was your sister who first provoked me, and it was your sister who first wanted to slap me, I merely retaliated, what fault do I have?"

As her words fell, a blue figure swiftly approached.

Only to see the youth's fox-like eyes now mixed with intense fury, he pressed his lips tight and swung his knife towards Lu Xiangxiang.

Gui Yan Qing's cultivation level is late Nascent Soul Realm.

Under the opponent's fierce assault, Lu Xiangxiang could barely parry, her arm was even sliced by a blade.

Lu Xiangxiang quickly summoned the Azure Dragon Sword and began fighting Gui Yan Qing.

At this moment, Gui Yan Hong also recovered, her face slightly pale, she gritted her teeth and stared at the white figure, then tearfully shouted: "Brother, give her a harsh lesson!"

Having said that, she immediately raised her hand, pinning a high-grade talisman between her fingertips.

"Thunder Talisman!"

She threw the bright yellow talisman, it instantly ignited, followed by bolts of terrifying thunder striking down towards Lu Xiangxiang's position!

Lu Xiangxiang's eyes flickered, by the time she wanted to dodge, it was already too late.

She was struck by lightning, her whole body went numb.

And just then, Gui Yan Qing turned his wrist, using the back of his knife to heavily smash Lu Xiangxiang's back, with a 'thud', Lu Xiangxiang fell to the ground.

Lu Xiangxiang's face turned deathly pale, she looked venomously at the Gui siblings, then quickly used a transmission scroll to teleport away.

Gui Yan Qing was startled by that glance, a vague bad premonition surged in his heart.

"Damn! She actually escaped!" Gui Yan Hong, half her face swollen, looked somewhat comical.

Gui Yan Qing sheathed his knife, stepped towards Gui Yan Hong, frowning: "Yan Hong, don't be so willful in the future. She is the disciple of the Wuxiang Immortal Venerable, we'd better not feud with her."

"Brother, are you not helping me either?" Gui Yan Hong's eyes reddened, she sniffled.

Gui Yan Qing's heart softened, he said helplessly: "It's not that I won't help you, but we also have to consider the situation."

"Brother, I'm being bullied now, yet you still blame me! I'm ignoring you!" Gui Yan Hong turned away in anger, her back to him.

Gui Yan Qing realized he shouldn't lecture his sister now, just as he was about to speak, he heard a commotion from above the city wall.

Looking up, he saw two figures leaping down from the city wall.

Those two were Cang Li and Yuan Yao.

Gui Yan Hong also saw them, she quickly turned her head away, not letting them see her injury.

"Yan Qing." Cang Li raised his brow slightly, called out.

Gui Yan Qing gave a wry smile in response: "You've finished at the Sword Tomb?"

Cang Li smiled faintly: "Yes."

At this moment, Yuan Yao also noticed that Gui Yan Hong seemed evasive, as if hiding something.

Something's off.

Yuan Yao and Gui Yan Hong could be considered mutually dislike, so she didn't ask what happened.

Instead, her own third senior brother spoke up: "How is your sister? Why is she turning sideways to face us?"

Gui Yan Hong directly turned her back to Yuan Yao and the two, coldly replying: "What's it to you! Mind your own business!"

Gui Yan Qing frowned, his voice deep: "Yan Hong! Cang Li is my friend, you cannot be so rude."

"We have matters to attend to, we won't disturb you two siblings." Cang Li kept a smile on his face, but his attitude turned cold.

After Cang Li and Yuan Yao walked a few steps, Cang Li suddenly stopped, looked at the guilt-ridden Gui Yan Qing, and said: "From now on, Fellow Daoist Gui, just call me Dao Friend Cang."

Gui Yan Qing's face stiffened, he hurriedly explained: "Cang Li, my sister didn't mean it, she's just like this. If I offended you, I apologize on her behalf."

"It's not because of that." Cang Li helplessly shook his head, let out a faint sigh.

Before Gui Yan Qing could ask what the reason was, Cang Li and Yuan Yao had already stepped away.

Gui Yan Qing's expression shifted, his mood instantly plummeted to the bottom.

At this moment, Gui Yan Hong also sensed her brother's mood, she lifted her head, seeing her brother's dejected look.

"Brother..."

Gui Yan Hong spoke.

Gui Yan Qing no longer had the mood to deal with Gui Yan Hong.

Wei Yan Hong reached out and tugged at his sleeve, "Brother, even if he doesn't want to be your friend, there are still many people who want to be your friend. Many people want to curry favor with you but can't."

"Wei Yan Hong." Wei Yan Qing called her full name, his gaze complex as he stared at her, but in the end he said nothing.

Wei Yan Hong's heart trembled slightly; she lowered her eyes and silently bit her lip.

On the other side.

Yuan Yao and Cang Li walked forward.

Yuan Yao couldn't help but ask, "Third Senior Brother, do you really want to sever ties with Wei Yan Qing?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"His sister is annoying, and he is annoying too." Wei Yan Qing has a sense of responsibility, but not much.

If Wei Yan Qing had not repeatedly indulged his sister, his sister might not have become so willful and capricious.

Wei Yan Qing's repeated compromises with his sister undoubtedly harmed Wei Yan Hong.

Wei Yan Qing's nature is still good.

But his way of handling things is really not likable.

His previous indulgence of Wei Yan Hong's treatment of Yao Yao in the Flowing Light Secret Realm meant he did not regard Cang Li as a friend.

Should his junior sister be bullied by his sister?

Ridiculous!
