Chapter 9: Sister Ye'er

The young girl thought that by doing this, she wouldn't be noticed by the little brat in her eyes. However, this little brat was no ordinary child; he was our protagonist, Lu Chen, who had started cultivating in his mother's womb. He had seen all of the young girl's actions, but he just didn't point it out.

The young girl's name was Lu Ye, an orphan who had been adopted by the Lu family since childhood. Although Lu Chen was not very popular in the Lu family now, as he was seen by everyone as a useless person, one who couldn't cultivate magic or martial arts, his unpopularity did not mean that no one liked him. For example, the beautiful girl in front of him had volunteered to be Lu Chen's maid.

Of course, the unpopularity mentioned here did not mean that his family disliked him, but rather referred to the external families. After learning that Lu Chen was a useless person, in this society where strength was revered, both commoners and nobles despised him, despising him for disgracing the Lu family.

Within the Lu family, he was also not very valued, but his family members still quite liked him. His uncles, aunts, and other relatives, as long as they could move around outside, would try their best to find a way to resolve the issue of his inability to cultivate magic or martial arts.

The reason Lu Chen was so unpopular, besides his inability to cultivate, was that on his third birthday, his mother gave birth to a younger sister—Lu Tianxue.

Compared to the affection everyone had for Lu Tianxue, Lu Chen naturally became even less popular.

Lu Tianxue was very powerful. When she was born, it was a grand event, with the sky and earth trembling. Soon after her birth, it was discovered that her magic storage capacity was equivalent to that of a High Mage.

This shocked everyone in the Lu family, and from then on, Lu Tianxue became the treasure of the Lu family. Anyone who saw her treated her like a goddess.

Although Lu Chen had no feelings about this, his two older brothers were not pleased. They had never experienced such cold treatment before, so they often went to their mother to complain. In the end, they were beaten back by their mother, and then they came to play with Lu Chen. They found that their younger brother seemed indifferent to everything, which led to a particularly good relationship among the three brothers.

"Master! What are you thinking about? I called you many times, but you didn't respond!" At this moment, Lu Ye's sweet voice interrupted Lu Chen's thoughts.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about what we're having for dinner tonight! Is there something you need?"

"Oh! Lady called you to come for dinner just now!" Lu Ye pointed to the sky, which was already somewhat dark, and said with a smile.

"I see, I thought I smelled something good! It turns out Mother called me for dinner!" Lu Chen smiled, "Let's go! Sister Ye'er! Let's go eat!"

"Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, Mother, Uncle, Aunt." When Lu Chen arrived at the dining room, the table was already full of people. Lu Chen first greeted everyone, then waited for Grandfather's instructions.

"It's you, Chen! Come and sit down! We were just waiting for you!" Grandfather Lu Yuntian said with a smile.

"Okay, Grandfather! Sorry for keeping everyone waiting!" Lu Chen said as he sat down in his seat and began to quietly eat the food in his bowl.

After dinner, Lu Chen directly excused himself and returned to his courtyard with Lu Ye. Lu Chen's courtyard was at the far end of the Lu residence and was the largest. Originally, this courtyard had been abandoned due to certain reasons, and no one wanted to live there. Later, Lu Chen discovered that there was a spiritual vein underground, so he insisted on living there alone, or rather, with Lu Ye.

"Master, when I went out to buy things today, the Prime Minister's eldest son, Hao Long, bullied me!" That night, Lu Ye lay in bed and softly told Lu Chen.

"What? You mean that martial arts genius, Li Haolong?" Lu Chen's tone was very calm, but if Chen Peng were there, he would know that this was the calm before Lu Chen's outburst.

Seeing that Lu Chen wasn't angry, Lu Ye sighed with relief in her heart, fearing that Lu Chen would be so upset that he couldn't sleep. She continued, "Yes! It's him! He... he called me a slut! And he slapped me!"

"Is that so? Why did he call you that?" Lu Chen's fists were already clenched.

"He said Master is a useless person! And he said he would eventually trample our Lu family under his feet!" Lu Ye began to sob as she spoke.

"When he said this, did anyone else hear it? Did you tell Grandfather and the others about this?" Lu Chen's eyes revealed a desire to kill.

"No!" Lu Ye, not noticing Lu Chen's unusual state, continued to cry softly.

Lu Chen gently pulled Lu Ye into his arms, although their current appearance looked quite strange. "Sister Ye'er, be good! Don't worry, since you are mine, I won't let anyone bully you, even if he is a god! I, Lu Chen, swear here! Li Haolong will pay the price."
