Chapter 26 26: Sister Always Loves Her Brother the Most

"Sister, can I not drink these medicines? I want to become a monk like you."

Pinching his nose again and drinking the medicine, the boy asked his sister with a sad face.

"No."

The sister, who was as noble and flawless as a fairy, would only be so gentle and doting to her brother, touching the boy's hair: "My brother is born with deficiencies and can hardly embark on the path of cultivation. He must drink a can of spiritual medicine every day to improve his physical strength."

The boy wanted to cry after hearing this: "Sister is so powerful now. If I can't practice, won't I become a waste in the future, and the gap between me and sister will become bigger and bigger?"

The sister hugged the boy in her arms and coaxed him, kissing his forehead: "Even if I can't practice, my brother won't become a waste."

"My brother can increase his wisdom through reading and become the smartest think tank around Dad in the future. Sister will be the most powerful monk around Dad. Together, we will help Dad achieve hegemony."

The boy was confused and didn't know that his father, as a prime minister, was already a high-ranking official with endless wealth and glory. What kind of hegemony did he want to achieve?

"Then...if I can't be the smartest think tank around my father, and I'm also a waste who can't practice, will my sister look down on me?" The boy choked with sobs and hugged his sister tightly with his backhand.

"No~"

The sister gently patted the boy's back, and said in a royal sister voice: "No matter what my brother will grow up to be, he will always be the closest person to my sister. I love my brother the most."

Although the sister loves her brother the most, she can't spare any extra time to accompany the boy.

Her qualifications are too good. There is no one who can match her among the countless sages and great men in the past dynasties. In the true sense, there is no one before and there may be no one after. In order to protect her brother and help her father achieve hegemony, she must seize every minute to practice.

The boy is also very sensible. He knows that he can't practice and has been useless. He can't delay his sister anymore, and he never dares to disturb his sister's practice.

So, every time his sister practiced, the boy was bored and could only sneak out of the Xiangguo Mansion to play with the children of the ministers in the court nearby.

More than a decade ago, Xuanwu Street was full of mansions of dignitaries, and it was hard not to form a small circle.

Those playmates of the same age were very friendly and harmonious. Seeing that the boy was weak and sick, they took care of him intentionally when they were together, allowing the boy to experience friendship other than his sister.

Apart from his sister, the boy only had these playmates to accompany him. He cherished and liked his friends very much.

The only thing that bothered the boy was that there was a boy named Ye Fan among his friends. Every time Ye Fan saw Li Tianai, he drooled in amazement. Several times he pulled the boy to become his brother-in-law.

Finally one day, Ye Fan no longer pulled the boy to become his brother-in-law, and he was no longer drooling in amazement by Li Tianai.

Because Ye Fan's family was raided by Li Chunfeng.

"Li Xu! Ye Fan's father was charged with treason by your father. Tomorrow at 3:30 noon, all nine clans will be escorted to the execution ground and beheaded!"

When they saw their friends again, they all shouted at the boy in unison.

The boy was shocked: "How could Ye Fan's father commit treason? This is a capital crime punishable by beheading!"

Friends sneered: "Ye Fan's father did not commit treason. According to my father, Emperor Yan is now obsessed with cultivating immortals. Your father, as the prime minister, has monopolized the power of the government and intends to wipe out all the sects in the world and destroy the people, so as to usurp the foundation of the Great Yan Dynasty in the future. Ye Fan's father and your father just have different political views, but he was framed and bloodbathed."

"Li Xu, your father is a traitor who harms the country. We are ashamed to be with you!"

Friends left angrily after saying a word.

The boy returned to the mansion and found his sister anxiously, asking what kind of hegemony his father wanted to achieve?

That night, the sister slept with the boy in bed, hugged her brother and told him a lot of truths, analyzed the situation in the world, and said that the major sects were like cancers that harmed countless people. The court and the sects would eventually have a war, and only one of them could survive.

Compared with those friends, the boy certainly trusted his sister more. Whatever his sister said was right, that was right!

The next day, the boy wanted to find his friends one by one and tell them what his sister told him last night, explaining that his father was not a traitorous minister. Unexpectedly, those friends found him faster than him and knelt down outside the Xiangguo Mansion, crying and repenting:

"I'm sorry, Li Xu! We shouldn't have said bad things about your father yesterday. Now your father has eliminated dissidents and eliminated our father. He also wants to exterminate our nine clans!"

"Please, help us say a few good words to your father? Don't exterminate our nine clans!"

The boy was cold all over and at a loss.

The next day, the boy avoided his sister's supervision and ran to the front of the Meridian Gate alone. He witnessed all his former playmates kneeling neatly on the execution ground. As the executioner's sword fell, rotten watermelons rolled all over the ground.

From then on, the only noble family on Xuanwu Street was the Xiangguo Mansion.

That day, the boy fell seriously ill. The miserable and resentful looks of his playmates before they died haunted him like a nightmare.

Fortunately, with his sister's constant care, the boy's frail body did not fall ill.

However, on the day he recovered from his illness, the boy had to part with his sister for the first time in his life.

Li Chunfeng planned to issue an imperial decree, on behalf of the Dayan Dynasty, to formally declare war on the sect!

Raising troops for a thousand days and deploying them for a moment, Li Tianai, who was only fourteen years old, went to war as a deputy general of the army.

"Good news! The eldest lady led the army to razed the Sun and Moon Sect!"

"Great victory! Another great victory! All the 100,000 elders and disciples of Guangmingding were killed!"

"The latest news! The eldest lady broke through the second-grade fusion realm on the battlefield!"

"A fourteen-year-old second-grade cultivator...hiss! The eldest lady suppressed the terror of the world like this!"

The boy was in the Xiangguo Mansion, and through the housekeepers and guards around him, he kept receiving news that his sister was leading troops outside. His heart was hanging in his throat every day, for fear of hearing bad news about his sister one day.

Unlike the good news of victory inside the Xiangguo Mansion, rumors were spreading outside the Imperial Capital.

The fierce battle between the imperial court and the major sects has caused countless people to lose their homes and families. The people of Tianxuan Continent are in dire straits and even the Imperial Capital, the capital of a country, is suffering from famine, causing countless people to curse Li Chunfeng for starting the war.

There are even rumors that Emperor Yan is not obsessed with cultivating immortals at all, but has Li Chunfeng under house arrest. Now the power of the government is completely controlled by Li Chunfeng, and he is just waiting to wipe out the major sects and there will be no more forces opposing him in the world, so that he can usurp the throne and become emperor.
