Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

Chapter 174 Is it a thing?

"Senior Sister Shuang, I thought you were very aloof during the battle in the assessment, but now it seems that you are very different from the Holy Clan people I remember. You don't have that deep sense of distance, and you don't have that expression that doesn't treat people like human beings."

At this point, Lu Yunxi glanced at Shuang and let out a sneer.

"Ah~ Speaking of which, it seems that Shuang can't see anything. No wonder she's different from the Holy Clan. Because she's blind, she can't see someone's ugliness, so she rushed over to chase after them."

Lu Yunshi, who was three steps behind the two women, was startled when he heard this.

Miss, when and how did you start speaking ill of others? Are you still the same person I remember?

Hearing this veiled sarcasm, Shuang showed a hint of doubt.

"It's not that I can't see, it's just that it's hard for me to open my eyes. And judging from what you said, the 'someone' you mentioned should be Yun Shi, right? He's considered handsome among humans and demons, and even among the Holy Race, where the average appearance is very high, he's not bad."

"Wow~ You have great taste." Lu Yunshi smiled slightly, but Lu Yunxi seemed to sense something and immediately turned around to look at him, which startled Lu Yunshi so much that he immediately withdrew his smile.

At this moment, Shuang's voice continued. "Furthermore, in terms of behavior, I should really be quite different from ordinary members of the Holy Race, at least Yun Shi also said so about me."

"Yun Shi, is it?" Lu Yunxi stared intently at Lu Yunshi, as if she wanted to scrape the man clean. "Your relationship is progressing quite quickly."

“Well, considering the usual speed at which people become friends, we should be considered fast. We became friends in less than half an hour of meeting. However, if we count from the first meeting to the conversation that made us friends, and include the time we didn’t meet in between, it’s still quite long,” Shuang nodded in reply.

“I don’t think he’ll grow any taller than me,” Lu Yunxi sneered.

“Hmm…” Shuang paused for a moment, then said, “I find it strange. Your relationship with Yun Shi doesn’t seem distant, and you’ve known him for longer, yet you’re not friends? Is it because you don’t want to be friends?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yunxi's face turned green. She took a deep breath and then replied, "No, it's because he doesn't deserve it."

"Why? He's a very good person. Even by the standards of many human women, he's not bad, except in terms of strength."

'Oh dear, I'm not that great either. It would be even better if I could remove that last sentence,' Lu Yunshi thought to himself with secret delight.

"What's not bad about him?" Lu Yunxi glanced at Lu Yunshi, then turned back and snorted coldly. "He's bad in every way."

"You don't like him?" Shuang asked again.

“Of course,” Lu Yunxi replied.

"Then give him to me, okay?" Shuang asked again.

“Heh, whatever…” Lu Yunxi stopped abruptly upon hearing this, her brain finally processing what he meant. “Don’t even think about it. No matter how bad he is, he’s still mine.”

'A thing?' Lu Yunshi frowned. 'I'm not a thing, no, I'm a thing, no, I'm not a thing...'

“You’re right, you’re not a thing.” Frost turned around and gave a definite answer.

"Oh." Lu Yunshi nodded, then finally noticed something was wrong. "You still say you can't read minds? This must be the legendary 'closing your physical eyes and opening your mind's eye,' such a despicable and shameless technique, how could you... how could you, as a good friend, keep it all to yourself? Remember to hand it over to me later."

"I really don't know, it's just that your thoughts are written all over your face," Shuang shook her head and answered seriously.

"We've arrived!" Lu Yunxi suddenly spoke, interrupting their conversation.

Based on Lu Yunshi's past experience, Lu Yunxi's face was pale, she exuded coldness, and her eyes were calm, but undercurrents were surging.

Oh dear, the young lady is angry. You're doomed.

The three of them walked into Lu Yunxi's courtyard together. Lu Yunshi was somewhat surprised to see two familiar people in the courtyard.

Lu Yuan and Lu Qing.

"Why are you still here?" Lu Yunxi frowned when she saw the two of them, seemingly displeased.

"I see you're becoming more and more disrespectful. If I hadn't wanted to celebrate your fourth-place finish in the assessment, I wouldn't be here at all. Besides..."

Lu Yuan's gaze suddenly fixed on Lu Yunshi.

"What's that brat doing here? Why did you bring him along?"

“He’s one of my men, so of course he can come here.” Lu Yunxi walked up to Lu Yuan. “The gifts have been delivered, so please hurry up and leave.”

"Huh? I haven't even taken out my gift yet, how did you know?" Lu Yuan was taken aback.

"It's alright, the gifts will arrive once you leave." Lu Yunxi said, then looked away, seemingly unwilling to take another look.

"Hiss~" Lu Yuan understood what his daughter meant when he heard this. He took a deep breath, but in the end, he didn't say anything and turned his attention to Lu Yunshi.

"You, get out of here! It's one thing for a guard to achieve a higher score than his master, but how dare you show your face in front of me? Get out!"

"Okay! Alright." Lu Yunshi nodded, ready to get out of there quickly.

"You dare!?"

Lu Yunxi's voice came out quickly, and Lu Yunshi withdrew the step he had just taken, immediately stood at attention, and replied decisively.

"I can not."

"A mere guard dares to disobey the patriarch's orders? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to deal with you? I'll let you taste the pain that goes deep into your bones, and let you know what it means to be a servant." Lu Yuan sneered, and a red mark appeared in his palm.

Upon seeing this, Lu Yunshi sighed inwardly. Wasn't that the main seal of the Blood Soul Seal?

Why is my luck so bad today? All I did was show off my first place.

Well, there's no escaping it anyway, I just don't know how much it will hurt.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the imagined pain did not come.

Lu Yunshi looked up and saw Lu Yunxi staring coldly at Lu Yuan. Although she didn't say anything, she made Lu Yuan stop what he was doing.

The father and daughter stared at each other silently, as if they were engaged in a battle.

At this moment, Lu Qing stretched. "I've come all this way, and I haven't even been offered a cup of tea. Patriarch, don't be in such a hurry to punish anyone. Let Xiao Yunxi give me a cup of tea first. Have I served the Lu family for so many years, and I can't even get a cup of tea?"

As they were talking, Lu Qing quietly tugged at Lu Yuan's sleeve, and Lu Yuan followed the steps down.

"Indeed, wasting time is a shameful act. Why should I personally take action against a mere guard at the Nascent Soul Realm?"
