Chapter 757: Chapter 476 Siblings

"I’m always busy with my disciple, and she’s always buried in your Prime Minister’s Mansion’s Geometry Institute, so naturally, we haven’t met."

Old Man Luo said indifferently. As he spoke, he naturally countered, "Why bring this up all of a sudden?"

A hint of mischief flashed in Xu Yuan’s eyes as he said with interest,

"Yet I heard my father say that you seemed to be preparing to take your ’disciple’ to travel the world?"

At these words, Old Man Luo’s brows furrowed slightly:

"Young man, what do you mean by that?"

"What do you think I mean?"

Xu Yuan shrugged his shoulders, his lips curling up:

"All the cultivation resources within our Prime Minister’s Mansion are fully managed. Does your ’disciple’ really need to travel the world?"

At this,

Xu Yuan chuckled twice, "So, are you thinking of going out now to avoid someone?"

Old Man Luo’s face twitched, he looked away and huffed:

"Avoid her? Why should I avoid her?"

"Are you truly not avoiding her?"

"Hmph, I have always acted openly and honorably in my life, why would I need to avoid anyone?"

"Alright."

Xu Yuan nodded, clapped his hands together, and smiled, "Sister, aren’t you coming out yet?"

As his voice faded, the room fell into silence.

Old Man Luo slowly turned his gaze towards Xu Xinyao, who had brought him here, with a look of bewilderment and astonishment.

Xu Xinyao silently averted her gaze and said softly,

"Xinyao needs Senior Luo Xiran’s assistance in setting up a formation for my Third Brother."

"....." Old Man Luo.

After a few moments,

a gentle voice sounded faintly,

"Brother, long time no see."

"..." Old Man Luo’s soul stiffened slightly as he turned his head.

As he turned, a beautiful woman in a pale blue palace dress had already solidified in the room from the black spore fungus carpet.

Seeing this figure from the depths of memory appear before him again, even without a corporeal body, Luo Daofan couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat.

Millennia had passed, and everything had faded with time.

But she was still alive.

That annoying little girl who had always followed him around...

Anxiety began to spread uncontrollably; Luo Daofan opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only force a smile and said,

"Ah... Xiran, long time no see."

Luo Xiran’s gaze on the ghostly form of Luo Daofan before her grew somewhat cold.

Seeing this, Xu Yuan quietly pulled Xu Xinyao, who was preparing to mediate, to sit on a bed and ready themselves for the show.

The ghostly traits his body possessed made him extremely sensitive to the black spore fungus carpet, and thus, he had sensed Luo Xiran’s presence the moment Xu Xinyao entered the door.

He had just sat down, not even having started to enjoy the drama, when he met Old Man Luo’s pleading gaze.

Obviously, this old fellow who didn’t act his age, couldn’t handle his sister.

And to that pleading look, Xu Yuan just smiled and mouthed a response.

I’m not getting involved in your sibling affairs.

"....." Old Man Luo

In the silence,

Old Man Luo cleared his throat gently, his voice very solemn and serious:

"Xiran, you could actually hear me out first."

Luo Xiran clenched her fist slightly:

"Hear you out? What for?"

Old Man Luo’s expression remained unchanged:

"Whatever you want to hear, I can explain."

Luo Xiran smiled coldly:

"Explain your words just now? Or explain why you chose to betray Jiatiange ten thousand years ago? Or perhaps how you had been secretly hiding your true power all this time, misleading me?"

"The letter I left for you should have explained why I chose to betray Jiatiange."

"What about the words you said just now?"

"....." Old Man Luo.

Luo Xiran, still looking like a middle-aged scholar, stared at his brother and repeated each word deliberately:

"What does that woman’s life or death have to do with me.....

"To see that woman turn out like that is actually what I enjoy..."

Old Man Luo’s gaze started wandering around the room and eventually landed on Xu Yuan and Xu Xinyao, who were eating melon seeds. He cleared his throat:

"Ahem, Xiran, let’s talk about this matter later; don’t let outsiders see us as a laughing stock."

Luo Xiran glanced at Xu Yuan, who was holding back laughter, and then snorted coldly, his thin lips curling up slightly, eyes bending:

"Outsiders? Since when are your dear friend and my sworn brother considered outsiders?"

"..."

Old Man Luo suddenly felt himself breaking into a sweat for the first time in a long while.

Ever since she was young, when it comes to this girl, he had always been extremely careful, as if holding something precious that might break or melt in his hands.

But for him, a man who has lived for ten thousand years, to admit his mistake to this girl?

Admitting a mistake was impossible, not in this lifetime.

"Senior Xiran, Old Man Luo is just saying the opposite of what he means. He even sent someone to the Geometry Institute to inquire about you before," Xu Xinyao’s soft voice suddenly broke the silence in the quiet room.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan, who was intently eating melon seeds and watching, shot Xu Xinyao a look.

Watching Old Man Luo get put in his place is such fun, why on earth are you helping him out?

Meeting Xu Yuan’s gaze, Xu Xinyao pursed her lips, her voice growing softer:

"That’s what elder brothers are like, they say one thing with their mouth, but their actions say another...."

"....."

Xu Yuan felt like he was being implicated, wanted to retort, but felt that doing so would only make him seem petulant.

Well, it’s not like he’s her only brother.

She must be talking about Xu Changge, that cold-faced, domineering CEO.

Standing in the middle of the room, Luo Xiran heard this and his cool gaze shifted, quieting down for a moment before he huffed:

"Forget it, you’ve always been like this. It’s been ten thousand years and you haven’t changed."

Old Man Luo breathed a long sigh of relief upon hearing this, managing to stave off the confrontation. He gave Xu Xinyao an appreciative look before casting a cold glance at Xu Yuan, and then spoke in a low voice:

"Xiran, I haven’t asked you yet, how have you managed these ten thousand years? And where have you been hidden? After the catastrophe of the foreign specters, I’ve heard nothing from you."

Upon hearing this, a flicker of confusion passed through Luo Xiran’s eyes:

"You don’t know?"

"What?" Old Man Luo was also puzzled.

"....."

After a brief exchange of looks, seeing the genuine confusion in his brother’s eyes, Luo Xiran abruptly turned his head towards the young boy sitting on the bed eating melon seeds with great interest, his gaze sharpening slightly:

"I’ve been in the desolate Underground Palace all this time, don’t you know that, brother?"

"....."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan involuntarily took a sharp breath.

This is bad.

The siblings were about to reconcile their stories.

Back in the Underground Palace, he had pinned many of the problems straight onto Old Man Luo with no hesitation.

Without any delaying, Xu Yuan immediately looked at Old Man Luo.

"?"

Old Man Luo was momentarily confused, but his quick-thinking soon illuminated everything.

This kid knew some things even more than him, an ancient demon who had lived for ten thousand years; he probably pinned something on him again.

Old Man Luo met Xu Yuan’s gaze briefly,

And then,

He deliberately looked up at the ceiling at a forty-five-degree angle.

This pot was not one he could carry.
