Chapter 1405: Chapter 1402: Clashing of the Wealthy - Intrigues and Scheming (2nd Update)

The maidservant from today is an example, assigned by the third young master of the Wei Family, Wei Yuhua.

Whether it’s strength or reputation, Wei Yuhua surpasses Wei Haocang, who is mocked as the "greatest waste in history," by a long shot.

But the issue lies in the fact that Wei Haocang and Wei Qingxiao’s biological mother, who passed away early, was someone even the Wei Family dared not provoke lightly.

Under these circumstances, no matter how outstanding Wei Yuhua may be, it is impossible for him to take the lead.

Thus, Wei Yuhua meticulously plotted, wishing to immediately kill Wei Haocang at the first opportunity.

This maidservant is a prime example—if one is even slightly careless, his younger brother might very well die at this maidservant’s hands.

Therefore, Wei Qingxiao must eliminate all threats to ensure there are no lingering dangers.

Such matters—she has done them countless times since childhood.

It is only due to her protection that Wei Haocang managed to miraculously grow up instead of dying young.

Yet as Wei Haocang’s age increases, the pressure Wei Qingxiao faces from all sides grows heavier and heavier.

No one would agree to a fool being the young master of the Wei Family.

In response, Wei Qingxiao can only do everything possible to cure her brother, hoping he recovers as soon as possible.

But no matter how miraculous the elixir or how brilliant the divine doctor, it’s all to no avail when it comes to Wei Haocang.

A divine doctor whose strength rivals the Great Luo once remarked, "This eldest young master of the Wei Family has a perfectly normal body, but his soul is incomplete, as if part of his soul has been sealed by something, completely inaccessible."

This is basically a death sentence for Wei Haocang, but Wei Qingxiao refuses to give up.

From childhood to now, the only person she loves and treasures is her younger brother. For him, Wei Qingxiao is even willing to give up everything.

This journey to the depths of the Ghost Realm is due to the immense pressure from the family. Wei Qingxiao found an excuse to take her brother out to evade it for a while, as well as seek possible solutions for his illness.

Still, Wei Qingxiao is fully aware that this hope is as faint as the edge of nonexistence.

But no matter how faint the hope, Wei Qingxiao must try.

If all else fails... I’ll slaughter every child of the Wei Family if I must—just to protect my brother’s safety!

Danger flashed in Wei Qingxiao’s eyes, yet her silhouette seemed all the lonelier because of it.

At just that moment, a sudden thud came from the room behind her, immediately followed by Wei Haocang’s loud sobbing.

"Sister... I want Sister!"

The killing intent on Wei Qingxiao’s face evaporated instantly, replaced by a radiant smile, as she pushed open the door and walked inside.

Meanwhile.

The Luo Family Mansion was ablaze with lights.

Representatives of noble families from all directions had essentially packed the courtyard to the brim.

People clustered together, discussing the matter anxiously yet excitedly.

"Oh, I wonder which young master from the Wei Family comes to visit us this time?" someone said with a grin.

"Whichever one it is, it’s enough to make the Luo Family feel triumphant! Didn’t you see? Practically every member of the Luo Family has turned up!" another person said enviously.

"The Pan Family and Mo Family are the same, aren’t they? Both houses have sent quite a few people!"

"Haha, did you notice? The young masters from the Mo and Pan families are chatting enthusiastically with the Luo Family’s eldest young master. Meanwhile, the seventh young master, Luo Jian, looks deeply displeased at the side!"

"Shh! These petty disputes among noble families aren’t something for us to discuss!"

Though these people tried their best to keep their voices quiet, Luo Jian’s cultivation level allowed him to hear every single word.

Watching his elder brother Luo Qifeng, standing grandly at the forefront with a proud, spirited expression, a flash of hatred flickered deep within Luo Jian’s eyes. His fists clenched slowly beneath his long sleeves.

Why?

Why is it that no matter how hard I try, I’m still not his equal?

Is it merely because he was born days before I was?

I refuse to accept this!

Luo Jian roared furiously in his heart.

Just then, a waft of fragrant breeze swept by, and Luo Xuan strolled past him gracefully, her smile enchanting as she quipped, "Seventh Brother, you don’t look so well. Would you like to take a rest?"

Facing this younger sister of his, Luo Jian showed no expression—his previous flash of hatred vanished. He merely offered a faint smile.

"No need to trouble yourself!"

"Oh, really? Haha..." Luo Xuan fluttered her eyelashes before suddenly saying, "You know, there’s a Human Clan saying: recognize your limits, and then you’ll learn contentment. I find it quite insightful. What do you think, Seventh Brother?"

Luo Jian’s pupils contracted instantly to pinpoints as he stared coldly at Luo Xuan. "Sound advice. But the Human Clan has another saying: there are some things you must fight for before you can measure your worth! Besides, if a younger sister is too eager to flaunt, her behavior might... not look so appealing!"

"You..." Luo Xuan’s face turned pale. She glared furiously at Luo Jian before sweeping away in a huff.

Watching Luo Xuan’s retreating figure, swaying elegantly as she made her way to Luo Qifeng’s side—a radiant smile now illuminating her face as she conversed with Mo Jing and Pan Yongge—Luo Jian sneered coldly under his breath: "Shameless!"

Meanwhile, Luo Xuan found an opportunity to whisper into Luo Qifeng’s ear, "Big Brother, Seventh Brother seems quite unhappy!"

Luo Qifeng glanced at Luo Jian in the distance out of the corner of his eye and chuckled lightly. "Pay him no mind! Let’s see what chaos he can stir up!"

The confidence in his tone caused Luo Xuan’s eyes to light up with admiration as she responded tenderly with a "Yes."

These subtle dynamics among the noble house’s heirs would go unnoticed by the majority of people. But to a few observant individuals, they were strikingly clear.

Compared to the crowd that gathered around Luo Qifeng like stars surrounding the moon, Luo Jian’s side seemed much lonelier and more desolate.

Just then, however, a voice came from behind Luo Jian, "Seventh Young Master, why are you standing here by yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Jian turned around abruptly, only to see a man in black standing not far away, smiling at him.

Luo Jian blinked in mild surprise. "Ren Tianqi?"

Indeed, the visitor was none other than the second young master of the Ren Family, Ren Tianqi.

However, his position as a second young master was rather frustrating, given that he was born of a concubine and his mother lacked significant power, causing his talents to be mediocre.

As such, he paled in comparison to Ren Family’s eldest young master, Ren Tianyun.

This also explained why Ren Tianqi rarely made public appearances, leaving Luo Jian startled to see him now.

"Surprised?" Ren Tianqi chuckled softly, though his eyes betrayed no trace of humor.

Luo Jian nodded slightly and scanned the crowd as if searching for someone.

"No need to look—my esteemed elder brother Ren Tianyun was sent to the borders of the Ghost Realm recently to investigate something. He hasn’t returned yet!" Ren Tianqi said flatly.

"Oh!" Luo Jian exclaimed, dawning realization in his eyes as he nodded lightly.
