Chapter 14: Sibling Reunion
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“It’s alright. Grandpa has been friends with that old man for a long time. Besides, he is Ruohan’s master. Shouldn’t he give me this face? Moreover, he should feel honored that my darling granddaughter is willing to study at his academy,” Leng Qingtian said proudly.
Upon hearing her grandfather’s narcissistic comment, Leng Ruoxue was at a loss for words. However, in order to keep her talent from being discovered, she really had to go through the backdoor. With this in consideration, she couldn’t help being moved by her grandfather’s carefulness.
The next day, she greeted her grandfather before heading to the Heavenly Phoenix Academy with Lü Tao.
The Heavenly Phoenix Academy was located in the northernmost region of Phoenix City, and because it was so remote, they rode a flying spirit beast called ‘falcon’. Falcons were low-level spirit beasts resembling eagles. Although they were not very fast, they were docile and had undergone training. They were one of the more commonly used means of transportation on the Ling Feng Continent. Due to being big, having soft and fluffy feathers, and providing a smooth flight, falcons were very popular with people.
Lying on the falcon, Leng Ruoxue watched the scenery while listening to Lü Tao talk about her brother.
“Young Master really dotes on Miss. He will definitely not let anyone who bullies Miss off the hook, and suffering a beating is already considered a light penalty. He almost beat the seventh prince to death previously.”
“During the few days when Miss was injured and unconscious, Young Master came to see Miss every day.”
As Leng Ruoxue listened to Lü Tao talk about her brother, she was green with envy of the Silly Ruoxue. But since these relatives were hers now, she needed to take care of this familial affection that didn’t come easily.
“Miss, we’ve arrived. The academy doesn’t allow spirit beasts on the premises, so we have to go on foot,” Lü Tao explained.
“Ok.”
The two of them dismounted and walked toward the entrance to the academy. When they reached the entrance, they were stopped by the gatekeeper. Leng Ruoxue simply flashed the badge and walked directly into the academy under the gatekeeper’s surprised and dumbfounded gaze.
“Which family does that young lady come from? How does she have that badge… Could she be the Shui family’s eldest young lady? No wonder she’s so beautiful…” Even a long time after regaining his composure, the gatekeeper was still murmuring to himself.
Leng Ruoxue followed Lü Tao to her brother’s residence, but he was still in class, and only his servant, Ming An, was in the dormitory. Leng Ruoxue carefully looked around her brother’s residence. The environment was quiet, simple, and refined, actually somewhat similar to her brother’s character. Although her memories of her brother were a little hazy, she could still see her brother’s refined makings. It was hard to imagine that a brother like this would actually beat someone to the verge of death.
“Xue’er.” A soft voice broke Leng Ruoxue’s train of thought.
Leng Ruoxue turned around to see an elegant and beautiful immortal-like man at the door. He’s my brother? He’s more outstanding than I remember. She had seen many handsome men, but it was the first time she had seen someone so clean, clear, and untainted like an immortal. His facial features were more exquisite and perfect than a woman’s, enough to make any woman ashamed. She even felt that her brother’s beauty was ineffable.
While Leng Ruoxue was looking at her brother, Leng Ruohan was also looking at her.
This is Xue’er? Xue’er after becoming clear-headed? She really resembles Mother but is more beautiful than Mother. Even though Leng Ruohan had already heard from his grandfather that his darling younger sister had already regained her mental facilities and was prepared to see her like this, seeing her with his own eyes excited him.
“Big Brother,” Leng Ruoxue anxiously called out.
Spurred by his emotions, Leng Ruohan embraced Leng Ruoxue warmly. “Xue’er.”
His beloved sister was finally clear-headed, leaving him overjoyed. Personally seeing his sister better now truly put him at ease.
“Xue’er, you don’t blame Big Brother any more?” Leng Ruohan asked uncertainly.
“Big Brother, Xue’er was ignorant before and didn’t know that you did everything for my own good. But now I understand, so how can I blame you! I should be apologizing instead for saddening you in the past. From now on, Xue’er will definitely be a younger sister who makes you proud!” Leng Ruoxue said earnestly. She said this to let her brother know that the ignorant Xue’er was now the past and that she would be a whole new person from now on.
“You are my dearest sister, so how could I ever blame you?! My greatest wish is for you to live happily forever. I’ll never let anyone who dares to bully you get away with it!” After Leng Ruohan said this, a hint of fierceness that was inconsistent with his makings crept up on his clear, elegant, and beautiful face.
“Xue’er will also never let anyone bully Big Brother. Only I can bully you,” Leng Ruoxue said mischievously while looking at her beautiful brother. Alas, with a man like this around, how can women live!
“Ok, Big Brother will only let Xue’er bully me.” Leng Ruohan’s face was brimming with love.
“Xue’er, this is for you.” Leng Ruohan looked at the little beast sleeping soundly on his sister’s shoulder, took out a white egg about the size of two adult palms from his storage ring, and gave it to Leng Ruoxue.
“This is…”
“The egg of a blazing flame lion,” Leng Ruohan explained.
Spirit beasts were also divided by aptitude. If the innate aptitude was good, then the odds of becoming a holy beast or even a divine beast were much higher. The blazing flame lion was born an advanced spirit beast, and as it matured, it would grow into a holy beast. So the blazing flame lion egg was extremely valuable.
“Big Brother, keep this for yourself. I don’t need it now,” Leng Ruoxue said, afraid that her brother would be unwilling to use it himself. He only wanted to give good things to her, so she chose to turn him down.
“Big Brother already has a spirit beast. This egg was a reward from the academy competition. I always intended to give it to Xue’er,” Leng Ruohan explained. How could he not know that Xue’er thoughts? After explaining, he directly condensed a needle with spiritual power and pierced Leng Ruoxue’s finger. Then a drop of blood fell onto the egg, which the egg absorbed rapidly. Following which, the eggshell cracked, and a wet fiery-red little beast the size of a palm emerged. The little beast shook its wet fur, and when it was dry, it pounced into Leng Ruoxue’s arms and began rubbing against her to show its affection. And then it proceeded to eat its eggshell.
