Chapter 6

Hearing what Zhao Shuo said, Zhao Luan said, "A few days ago, when Elder Brother came back from the sea, he told me that he has already cultivated to the Great Perfection stage of the Spirit Aperture period. All the major meridians in his body have been fully unblocked, and he could advance to the Body Tempering stage at any time. He is even more powerful than Chen Tiangui. Elder Brother's talent and comprehension are not too bad. Unfortunately, the star map he inherited is too poor, with only a single layer of spirit apertures. As a result, the attraction of primordial energy is extremely slow. Moreover, he started cultivation a bit late. Otherwise, if he had a good star map, his cultivation speed would have increased several times, and he might already have reached the Body Tempering stage."

Zhao Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "The young masters of those noble families start cultivation from a young age and possess high-level star maps to open their spirit apertures. Many people our age might already have reached the Great Perfection stage of the Body Tempering period."

Just as the two were talking, a deep voice came from outside, "Second Brother, Little Sister, come out and see what Elder Brother has brought for you."

Hearing this, Zhao Luan said happily, "It's Elder Brother, he's back!"

Zhao Shuo, wrapped in bandages, got out of bed. Before he could leave the room, a young man with dark skin and a robust build walked in excitedly. He was the eldest of the Zhao siblings, Zhao Feng.

Holding a string of beautiful shells and some delicate items, Zhao Feng was momentarily stunned when he saw Zhao Shuo wrapped in bandages. Then, a look of concern appeared on his face. He quickly put the items aside, walked over to Zhao Shuo, and examined him up and down, seemingly confirming that Zhao Shuo was not seriously injured. He then sighed with relief and said angrily, "Xiao Shuo, tell Elder Brother what happened. Who beat you up like this? Elder Brother will teach them a good lesson."

From Zhao Feng's reaction, Zhao Shuo could feel the genuine brotherly affection Zhao Feng had for him. He also saw that Zhao Feng had a straightforward and fiery personality. If he were not calmed down, Zhao Feng might really stab Chen Tiangui with a fish spear.

Pulling Zhao Feng, Zhao Shuo hurriedly said, "Elder Brother, you're back. How was your trip to the sea?"

Zhao Luan pulled Zhao Feng's other arm, her bright eyes fixed on the shells and other items, and said happily, "Elder Brother, are these for Luan'er?"

The straightforward Zhao Feng was immediately distracted by Zhao Shuo and Zhao Luan. He grinned and said, "This time, Elder Brother had a great harvest. I caught a net full of Heavenly Star Fish and sold them for nearly a thousand star coins. With the savings from before, Xiao Shuo, you can undergo the star map inheritance to open your spirit apertures."

Seeing Zhao Feng's joyful expression, Zhao Shuo felt a pang in his heart. Looking at Zhao Feng's weathered face, even though he had not been to the sea, Zhao Shuo could imagine the risks of the sea. Zhao Feng was taking great risks to secure a future for his siblings.

A thousand star coins were a significant amount for their ordinary family. One star coin a day was enough for daily expenses, meaning it would take three years of savings to obtain the lowest-level ordinary star map inheritance to open spirit apertures from a传承 merchant.

Seeing Zhao Shuo in a daze, Zhao Feng said excitedly, "Xiao Shuo, aren't you very happy? Don't worry, when Elder Brother catches Heavenly Star Fish again, we can let Little Sister undergo the star map inheritance. Then, all of us can start cultivation."

Zhao Shuo came to his senses and said tremulously, "Elder Brother, thank you!"

Zhao Feng patted Zhao Shuo on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "Brat, what are you being so polite for?"

"Ouch!"

A slight groan escaped Zhao Shuo's mouth, and he instinctively held his shoulder. Zhao Feng was stunned and said guiltily, "Second Brother, are you okay? It's all Elder Brother's fault..."

The pain subsided, and Zhao Shuo shook his head, "It's fine, just a minor injury."

Zhao Feng looked at Zhao Shuo's injuries and said, "Tell Elder Brother, did Chen Tiangui bully you again? How dare he bully my family, I'll break his neck."

Zhao Shuo and Zhao Luan were startled and quickly held back the impulsive Zhao Feng, saying, "Elder Brother, calm down. You can't be so impulsive. It's easy to teach that guy a lesson, but our family is not as powerful as the Chen family. They are connected to the main branch of the Chen family, unlike us, who have no family support. If something happens to you, what will Mother do?"

Zhao Feng punched the wall, leaving a fist mark on the stone wall. Zhao Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, hearing Zhao Feng say angrily, "Can we just let it go like this?"

A cold light flashed in Zhao Shuo's eyes, and he said, "Let it go? Hmph, it's not that simple. If he had just beaten me, it would be one thing, but he dared to have designs on Little Sister. I will make him understand that some people are not to be provoked."

Zhao Luan noticed the cold light in Zhao Shuo's eyes and felt a shiver. These days, Zhao Shuo's changes had been noticed by the mature Zhao Luan. Although she was a bit frightened, she felt more at ease. She believed that not only could Elder Brother protect her, but Second Brother would be even better at protecting her in the future.

However, Zhao Luan was worried about Zhao Shuo. After all, Chen Tiangui was not an ordinary person. He had the backing of the Chen family, one of the three major families in Wanghai City, which was far beyond what their family could handle.

Noticing Zhao Luan's worried gaze, Zhao Shuo smiled at her and said, "As the saying goes, a gentleman's revenge is ten years in the making. One day, I will make Chen Tiangui pay for his actions."

Zhao Luan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Zhao Shuo's words. She had truly felt the changes in Zhao Shuo over the past few days. In terms of wisdom, she knew that Zhao Shuo would not rashly take action against Chen Tiangui.

After calming Zhao Feng, the family reunited.

In the evening, Zhao Feng and Zhao Shuo slept in the same room. Zhao Feng said, "Second Brother, tomorrow Elder Brother will take you to open your spirit apertures!"

To Zhao Feng's surprise, Zhao Shuo said, "Elder Brother, there's no need to rush. I want to go fishing with you at sea first, and then I'll open my spirit apertures when the opportunity arises."

Zhao Feng was taken aback and said, "Second Brother, although the ordinary star map inheritance is not great, it's better than nothing. Without opening your spirit apertures, you might not be able to handle many risks at sea. High-level star map inheritances are almost impossible to obtain without great fortune."

Zhao Shuo chuckled and said, "Elder Brother, you're thinking too much. I just don't want to rush into the star map inheritance."

Nodding, Zhao Feng said, "Second Brother, the sea is full of storms, and there are many sea beasts. It's very dangerous. Besides, if you go to sea with me, there will be no man at home. What if Chen Tiangui comes to harass Little Sister?"

A cold light flashed in Zhao Shuo's eyes, and he said coldly, "If that's the case, we should get rid of Chen Tiangui first to eliminate any future worries."

"What!"

Zhao Feng looked at Zhao Shuo in shock and said, "Second Brother, what are you saying? You want to get rid of Chen Tiangui? This morning, you and Little Sister said..."

Zhao Shuo smiled at Zhao Feng's surprised expression and said, "Elder Brother, we stopped you from openly confronting Chen Tiangui because it would bring great disaster to our family. If we can't do it openly, we can do it secretly."

Zhao Feng looked at the confident Zhao Shuo, somewhat disbelieving, and said, "Second Brother, do you have a plan? Tell me quickly."

Zhao Shuo whispered softly, and Zhao Feng's eyes grew brighter and brighter. Finally, he couldn't contain his excitement and clenched his fists, saying, "Good, it's a great plan. So subtle and seamless."

A few days later, Zhao Shuo and Zhao Feng set out to sea, leaving Zhao Luan and Chu Xiu at home.

Chen Tiangui, who had never let Zhao Luan out of his mind, soon learned from his friends that the Zhao family had only Zhao Luan and Chu Xiu left at home. His eyes gleamed with excitement. Thinking of Zhao Luan's slender figure and fair skin, Chen Tiangui couldn't help but swallow hard. If not for the presence of Zhao Feng and Zhao Shuo, he would have already made a move on Zhao Luan.

Under the bright sun, in a fragrant garden filled with bees and butterflies, the plump Chen Tiangui was reclining in a lounge chair, with two blushing maids massaging him. A few servants stood nearby, but as the master goes, so do the servants. They leered at the maids' curvaceous figures, their expressions extremely indecent.
