41: Who said I'm a spiritual follower?

Tears welled in Su Yueyao's eyes. She turned and ran into the courtyard, where she furiously plucked at the vibrant flowers in the garden!

Wei Xuan stood behind her, a helpless expression on his face.

Even he hadn't expected Su Yueyao's father to be such a snob.

The 180-degree shift in his attitude caught Wei Xuan completely off guard.

It was probably true what they said: 'turning your face faster than turning a book'!

Su Yueyao squatted on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"When I was little, Father doted on me. He'd give me anything I wanted."

"But ever since his business ran into trouble, he changed!"

"He became snobbish, cunning, and hateful!"

"He even tried to set me up with people I'd never even met."

"Just for his business!"

"For his damn money!!!"

Su Yueyao finally screamed, like a bleeding cuckoo, her voice shrill and helpless.

Her frail body trembled.

At this moment,

it was as if all the grievances she had harbored burst forth completely!

Like a long-dormant volcano,

this moment of hysteria,

shook Wei Xuan's unmoving heart.

He had never seen Su Yueyao like this.

Until now, Su Yueyao had always appeared gentle, lovely, lively, with a tiny bit of playful violence, but deep down, she was quite strong.

Little did he know, what had been weighing on her shoulders all this time was the coercion from her own father.

Those slender shoulders were already precarious,

overwhelmed.

Su Yueyao's voice was unmasked, and it could be heard clearly in the living room.

Father Su stood in the living room, dazed.

His eyes were vacant, and his body seemed to sag at that moment,

as if he had aged considerably in an instant,

his eyes now filled with pain and weariness... Wei Xuan gently put his arm around Su Yueyao's shoulder, wiping away her tears.

"But he is still your father. Even with all his faults, he is your family."

"Yueyao, trust me, I'll handle it!"

"Okay?"

Su Yueyao froze, staring blankly at Wei Xuan.

At this moment, Wei Xuan's gaze was incredibly firm,

like a shot of adrenaline injected into her heart.

Su Yueyao nodded gently, clutching Wei Xuan's arm tightly,

her chest pressed out of shape!

making Wei Xuan's mind wander.

"Trust me, I'll handle it!"

An extremely sappy and greasy voice came.

Wei Xuan and Su Yueyao looked at each other in astonishment, then turned to the side.

They saw the Crazy Old Man hugging a pillar with deep affection,

muttering the words Wei Xuan had just spoken.

Wei Xuan's mouth twitched!

He suddenly kicked him!

and glared at him fiercely.

The Crazy Old Man was having another episode!

Just then,

the doorbell rang.

The butler walked out of the courtyard and opened the door.

Two figures appeared outside the door.

One was a man around forty years old, dressed impeccably, his hair meticulously combed,

each strand gleaming.

Beside him was a handsome young man, dressed in designer clothes, wearing expensive gem rings on no less than four fingers!

However, his gaze was slightly shadowed.

The butler chuckled, "Oh, it's Brother Zhao!"

The man laughed heartily,

"Brother Hao, I've brought Yunfeng to visit Old Su!"

"Oh ~ please come in!"

"Thank you, Brother Hao!"

The group chatted as they entered the courtyard, and the two men immediately fixed their gaze on Wei Xuan,

their expressions showing displeasure.

The young man frowned even more, his eyes filled with hostility as he looked at Wei Xuan.

Zhao Helai, the middle-aged man, smiled faintly,

"Brother Hao, this is..."

"Hahahaha, Old Zhao, you're here? Why didn't you let me know in advance! I would have come out to greet you!"

At this moment, Father Su walked out, smiling, very enthusiastic.

Zhao Helai quickly put on an expression of feigned reproach,

"Old Su, you're being too formal, aren't you? With our friendship, why are you being so polite!"

"Hahahaha, my bad!"

"Quick! Yunfeng, greet Uncle Su!"

"Yunfeng greets Uncle Su!"

"Oh my! Yunfeng has grown so much?"

"It's been five or six years, hasn't it!"

"This child is truly handsome and extraordinary!"

"Oh, come on! How can he compare to little Yueyao? I almost didn't recognize her!"

"Yueyao, come quickly and greet your Uncle Zhao! How can you be so ill-mannered!"

Su Yueyao was unwilling.

"Uncle Zhao."

Father Su frowned,

"This child, I've spoiled her!"

Zhao Helai laughed heartily,

"It's alright, it's alright. These young people, they're not comfortable talking to us."

"That's true. Quick! Don't stand in the courtyard anymore, come inside."

The group nudged each other and entered the villa.

Throughout, Zhao Helai and Zhao Yunfeng did not acknowledge Wei Xuan, who stood nearby, completely ignoring him.

Su Yueyao was about to pull Wei Xuan away, but Wei Xuan shook his head and followed them in with interest.

Su Yueyao could only pout, holding onto Wei Xuan's arm and refusing to let go.

In the living room,

Zhao Helai was about to sit down.

Wei Xuan immediately rushed in, directly pushing Zhao Helai's backside aside, and sat down with Su Yueyao in his arms!

Zhao Helai was left awkwardly standing there,

his face livid.

"This is..."

Father Su also had a headache watching Wei Xuan's actions, and could only apologetically explain to Zhao Helai.

"Ah! This is Yueyao's friend, Wei Xuan."

Zhao Yunfeng narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Oh, so it's the famous person from Qingcheng Spirit Martial Academy!"

"Oh? Yunfeng, you know him?"

Father Su and Zhao Helai looked at Zhao Yunfeng in surprise.

Father Su only knew that Wei Xuan was Su Yueyao's friend, but he didn't know much more.

At this moment, he was also a bit surprised that Zhao Yunfeng, a typical rich second-generation, actually knew Wei Xuan?

Zhao Yunfeng looked at Wei Xuan's hand around Su Yueyao, a hint of ruthlessness on his face, then continued to speak fluently.

"This person once caused a sensation throughout Qingcheng. He became a Spirit Apprentice at ten years old, a talent unmatched in the entire country!"

"What?!" Father Su and Zhao Helai exclaimed, their faces filled with shock!

"Became a Spirit Apprentice at ten? That talent is too terrifying!"

"So he's the one who shocked all of Qingcheng eight years ago."

"Truly remarkable!"

Their eyes were filled with astonishment as they looked at Wei Xuan.

Su Yueyao's expression was already displeased; she had already guessed what Zhao Yunfeng was going to say next!

Wei Xuan, however, listened with relish, not taking it to heart at all.

Zhao Yunfeng let out a strange chuckle,

"He was indeed remarkable. At that time, the dean of Qingcheng Spirit Martial Academy even personally went to pick him up, placing great hopes on him!"

"But who would have thought, this great Genius stagnated at the Spirit Apprentice Level for eight whole years!"

"He became the laughingstock of the entire Qingcheng Spirit Martial Academy!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

the air instantly fell silent.

Su Yueyao's face was frosty. If Wei Xuan hadn't held her tightly, she probably would have directly made a move!

Father Su and Zhao Helai's expressions were very colorful.

Zhao Helai even burst out laughing,

"Heh heh, what a waste of such good talent!"

"He made such a big joke."

Father Su was also awkwardly speechless.

He hadn't expected Wei Xuan to have such a background and experience.

Zhao Yunfeng didn't stop, but instead stroked his chin, making a gesture of recollection,

"Apparently, he grew up in an orphanage. Perhaps he's just a lucky ordinary person?"

As soon as the words fell,

everyone's gaze turned to Wei Xuan,

the meaning in their eyes was unmistakable.

Zhao Helai scoffed, "So he wants to climb the Su Family's big tree."

Su Yueyao's eyes were already red, and the flames of anger burned Blazing in her pupils.

"Zhao Yunfeng! You..."

Wei Xuan gently patted Su Yueyao's shoulder, his face serious.

"Yueyao, don't get angry! Don't bother with an idiot! I've beaten too many idiots like him!"

Zhao Helai snorted coldly, "No manners!"

Zhao Yunfeng's face had already darkened.

"A Spirit Apprentice Level rookie! You can only rely on your sharp tongue!"

Wei Xuan raised an eyebrow, "May I ask what Rank you are?"

Zhao Yunfeng's face was full of arrogance, "Three-Star Spirit Scholar, nothing to brag about!"

Zhao Helai's face was also full of pride.

Father Su was greatly surprised, "Yunfeng is already a Three-Star Spirit Scholar at such a young age?"

"How can it be nothing to brag about? Yunfeng, you are too modest!"

Zhao Yunfeng smiled modestly.

"It really is nothing to brag about!"

A light, airy remark just floated past everyone!

The expressions of the Zhao father and son completely turned cold!

Everyone looked at Wei Xuan again.

Zhao Yunfeng immediately sneered,

"A mere Spirit Apprentice has the right to say that?"

Wei Xuan spread his hands, his face full of innocence,

"Who said I was a Spirit Apprentice?"

Then, a vortex suddenly released from his body, absorbing a large amount of Spiritual Qi.

Under everyone's gaze,

Wei Xuan's Rank went from Spirit Apprentice Ten Stars to Spirit Apprentice One Star!

Wei Xuan smacked his lips, his face full of helplessness.

"Life is just so dry and boring ~"
