Chapter 27: Sister Always Loves Her Brother the Most [End]

"The Dayan Dynasty is over, completely destroyed by Li Chunfeng!"

"Why do we have to send troops to the major sects? In such a chaotic world, how can ordinary people like us survive?"

"Haha! Li Tianai, the youngest military god of Dayan... Bah! She is just a running dog cultivated by Li Chunfeng with countless people's blood and sweat. As long as they can achieve their goal of usurping the throne, they don't care about the lives of the lower-class people at all!"

"I received a rumor that the sect coalition has formulated a decapitation operation against Li Tianai. She will die on the battlefield in no more than half a month..."

During that time, every time Li Xu walked out of the Xiangguo Mansion, he could always hear the resentful curses from the people.

He was so scared, both terrified and worried. He didn't care about his father being cursed. After all, no matter how harshly others cursed, it couldn't hurt Li Chunfeng a hair, but his sister was on the front line of the battlefield. How dare she be full of hatred?

Is there a reason in the world that you can kill others but others can't kill you? ?

Li Xu was terrified and could not rest day and night. He kept writing letters to beg his powerful father to recall his sister to the Imperial Capital and never let his sister fight on the battlefield again.

Compared with Li Tianai's doting and loving, Li Chunfeng's fatherly love was like a landslide. He had no good tone at all for his young and immature son. Every time Li Xu begged him to recall his sister, he would always be scolded by Li Chunfeng harshly.

"You can't help, so don't make trouble in the rear!"

"If I recall Tianai to the Imperial Capital, who will go to the front line to resist the sect coalition forces? You, a waste!"

"What's the point of worrying about Tianai? If you really worry about her, you can go to the battlefield for her!"

Li Chunfeng was so busy that he lived in the Secretariat for a long time. Even these harsh and fierce scoldings were also conveyed back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the form of letters.

Li Xu was almost driven into autism by his father's scolding. One morning when he missed his sister, he left another letter and left Xiangguo Mansion alone:

"Okay, I'm going to the battlefield in my sister's place. I hope Dad will keep his promise and call my sister back."

As soon as he reached the gate of the Imperial Capital, Li Xu was caught by the guards of Xiangguo Mansion.

Li Chunfeng finally found time to meet his son in his busy schedule. As soon as they met, he slapped Li Xu in the face and made him spin 360 degrees on the spot.

"Although you are young, how can you not understand the angry words in my letter?"

Li Xu's eyes were full of stars. At first, he was a little touched, but his father's next words immediately confused him.

"Why do you take Tianai's place on the battlefield? Even if there are 100,000 of you, you can't beat Tianai's finger!"

"From the day you were born, you were destined to be from two different worlds with Tianai. A useless person should have the awareness of a useless person. It would be better if you can have self-knowledge and just eat and wait for death, and stop dragging your sister down!"

After the voice fell, Li Chunfeng left with a gloomy face, and ordered Sun Bo to confine Li Xu to his house, not allowing him to step out of the small dark room again, as if he really regarded his son as a useless person who just eats and waits for death.

Li Xu also learned afterwards that the front battlefield had undergone major changes on the day he ran away from home.

The northern barbarians saw the opportunity of the court and the sect fighting, and they marched south in a big way, intending to compete for the Central Plains and the world.

This alien version of the "First World War" was suspended due to the participation of the northern barbarians.

The main reason was that Li Chunfeng really didn't expect that the northern barbarian tribe, which had been silent for thousands of years, would actually have a founding empress in this era!

It was because of the founding empress of the Northern Barbarians that the Dayan Dynasty had to accept the peace request of the sect coalition.

On the day when Li Tianai returned to Beijing, there were no more rumors cursing her among the people. Countless soldiers and civilians lined the streets outside the city to welcome her. The prince of Dayan personally drove the car and horse for her, and the scene was magnificent and grand.

However, the youngest military god of Dayan in history only missed her younger brother.

After entering the palace to meet the emperor, Li Tianai went to visit her brother who was under house arrest as soon as possible.

The reunion of the sister and brother after a long separation should have been very joyful, but Li Tianai never thought that she was fine before going to the battlefield, but her brother suddenly became much stranger after returning. She asked herself with a complicated face: "Sister, are you and I from two different worlds?"

"How could it be!"

Li Tianai understood that her brother had done something stupid and was taught a lesson by his father. She would inevitably have emotions in her heart. She hugged him and comforted him softly like when she was a child: "You will always be the closest person to your sister."

"Really..."

Li Xu took a deep breath.

"Then sister, can you promise me one thing?"

"What?"

"Please, sister, abolish your cultivation."

"..."

Li Tianai was stunned, and before she could react, she heard Li Xu's subsequent explanation:

"Only by abolishing your cultivation can the gap between sister and me be closer - and most importantly, only when sister becomes like me, will she not be sent to the battlefield by father again."

"Xiao Xu, don't talk nonsense..."

"I'm not talking nonsense!"

Li Xu cried earnestly, "Sister, I beg you! Since you went to the battlefield, I haven't slept well for a single day, and I worry about your safety every day and night!"

"Although the war with the sect is over, the war with the northern barbarians will start again soon, sister! I really don't want you to take risks on the battlefield again!"

Li Tianai hesitated: "I know what you mean, but, Xiaoxu, there are always some things that sister has to do."

"It's okay if sister doesn't do it!"

Li Xu retorted excitedly: "I don't care about other people, I just want to take care of sister. If sister dies on the battlefield one day, I will definitely not be able to survive!"

Li Tianai was speechless.

"Anyway!"

Li Xu clenched his teeth and said fiercely: "From today on, sister will not waste her cultivation for one day, I will go on a hunger strike for one day until I starve to death!"

At first, Li Tianai didn't take her brother's harsh words seriously, thinking that her brother was playing a temper with her and that he could be coaxed for two days.

Unexpectedly, for three full days, Li Xu kept his word and didn't eat a drop of water.

He was born with a weak constitution, and after three days of hunger strike, he was so weak that he was just skin and bones, and there was only a trace of air between his mouth and nose.

"Xiao Xu, listen, drink this bowl of soup!"

Li Tianai sat in front of the bed, persuading his brother with tears.

Although Li Xu was weak and dying, he was still determined and shook his head slowly: "I will drink it if my sister's cultivation is ruined."

"Xiao Xu, how can you force my sister like this, woo woo woo!"

"It's not me who forces my sister, it's my sister who forces me..."

"Evil creature!"

Li Chunfeng kicked the door and swept his eyes towards the rebellious son on the bed.

"It's fine if you become a waste who can't cultivate, but you want to make Tianai a waste like you?!"

Li Xu's mouth twitched, and he turned his head to look at his father coldly.

"Dad, don't scold Xiaoxu..."

"If I don't wake him up, this evil creature will turn the tables!"

Li Chunfeng blew his beard and glared, scolding: "Who do you think you are? If it weren't for the brother-sister relationship, a useless person like you who can't practice is not even worthy of Tianai looking at you from afar!"

"Now you dare to shamelessly threaten Tianai with death, good! If you want to die, I will fulfill your wish. You don't have to starve to death. I will send you to death with my own hands!"

After saying that, Li Chunfeng shook his wrist, and a long whip appeared in his hand out of thin air. With a "snap" sound, he blew the air and threw it towards the bed fiercely.

"Xiaoxu!"

Li Tianai cried and shouted, and threw herself on Li Xu without hesitation. The dress on her back was torn by the long whip, revealing a bloody wound.

"Tian'ai, get out of the way. I'm going to beat this evil creature to death today!"

Li Tian'ai shook her head desperately, "No, Dad will beat me to death first if he wants to beat Xiaoxu!"

Li Chunfeng gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and pulled out the second whip with all his strength.

"Snap."

Another bloody mark was torn on Li Tian'ai's beautiful back.

"Tian'ai, get out of the way!"

"No! I won't let you!"

Li Chunfeng raised his hand again-

"Enough."

Li Xu, who was protected by his sister, suddenly opened his mouth and curled his lips: "What a clumsy self-torture trick."

Li Tian'ai: "..."

Li Chunfeng: "..."

Although he could see that it was a self-torture trick, watching his sister being whipped one whip after another, Li Xu's psychological defense line was finally broken and collapsed, and he sighed: "Bring the soup."

Li Tian'ai quickly turned over and brought the bowl of medicinal soup made from various natural materials to his mouth, and watched his brother drink it in two gulps.

"Xiao Xu..."

"I've figured it out. I really shouldn't be so selfish. I have no right to force my sister to please me. I will never force my sister to do anything against her will again."

Li Tianai and Li Chunfeng both breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Li Tianai found that she seemed to have relaxed too early.

Although her brother never asked her to give up her cultivation after the hunger strike, he seemed to have changed into a different person. He was no longer as close and sticky to her as before, and showed a deliberate indifference to her. He also stayed out of the Xiangguo Mansion every two or three days.

"Xiao Xu, who have you been hanging out with recently?"

"Friends."

"What friends?"

"You don't know them."

...

"Xiao Xu, don't go out and make friends with random people anymore, just stay in the mansion."

"Then I tell you not to go to the battlefield and stay in the mansion, do you agree?"

Li Tianai bit her lip, knowing that her brother still wanted her to lose her cultivation, and deliberately acted rebellious to stimulate her.

...

"Xiao Xu, I've checked, and all the friends you make outside are bad friends, don't play with them in the future!"

Li Xu sneered: "I'm just a waste who can't practice. If I don't play with bad friends, do they play with you in the mansion?"

"Sister, sister can play with you..."

"How long can you accompany me?"

...

"Xiao Xu, stop!"

"Even if you want to stimulate your sister, you can't deliberately make yourself like this. You are not allowed to leave the Xiangguo Mansion today!"

Li Xu was impatient: "I don't care about your business, so don't tell me what to do."

"You--you made my sister angry!"

"What if I made you angry?"

"I can teach you a lesson!"

After all, Li Tianai had just returned from the battlefield not long ago. Facing her brother's rebellious attitude, she finally couldn't be gentle and doting anymore, and waved her fist at Li Xu for the first time in her life.

She could certainly suppress her brother by force, but as Li Xu asked: How long can you stay with me?

As the Dayan Dynasty went to war with the Northern Barbarians, Li Tianai once again went to the battlefield in the northern border.

The night before leaving, Li Tianai talked with Li Xu all night long, trying to influence her brother's rebellious psychology with her heartfelt words, but she only got the last faint sentence from her brother:

"Can you not go?"

The result is self-evident.

Over the past thousand years, there have been thousands of barbarian tribes in the northern border, large and small. They fought each other and posed no threat to the Dayan Dynasty. However, since Ji Weiming came out of nowhere and unified thousands of barbarian tribes with her own strength, she ascended the throne as the first female emperor in history. The Great Barbarian Dynasty under her command is enough to pose a fatal threat to Dayan, and the degree of fatality is even more than that of the major sects.

If Li Tianai did not go to the battlefield, no one could resist Ji Weiming's edge with the group of drunkards in the border.

This is indeed the case.

As soon as Li Tianai led his army to the northern border, he immediately curbed the retreat of the border army and blew the horn of counterattack. There were continuous reports of victory in the imperial capital.

In less than a year, the million northern barbarian army was completely defeated by Li Tianai out of Kunlun Mountain. She was able to return to Beijing after this great victory, and she was greeted by countless soldiers and civilians.

However, Li Tianai saw everyone in the crowd who were welcoming her, except her brother.

"Reporting to the eldest lady, the second young master is...drinking wine in the brothel." The guard of the Xiangguo Mansion reported tremblingly.

"Brothel?!"

Li Tianai was full of disbelief. Under the guidance of the guard, she went to the brothel and saw a scene that she would never forget.

She saw her brother, who had loved her since childhood, sitting in the wine pool and meat forest with a group of friends, holding a beautiful dancer in his arms, with a wild and wanton smile on his face.

"Li Xu! How could you degenerate like this!!"

Li Tianai's delicate body trembled, and her anger erupted like a volcano. She raised her foot and kicked the friend closest to Li Xu dozens of meters away.

"Li Tianai, if you are angry, just vent it on me. Why are you kicking my friend?"

Li Xu raised his head and drank a big mouthful of wine, and said lightly with a smile: "Are you worried that I will be kicked to death by you?"

Li Tianai was silent for a long time, and the terrifying murderous intent emanating from his body made everyone at the scene except Li Xu feel terrified.

"Too childish!"

"You stimulate me in this way, Li Xu, you are really childish and disappoint me!" Li Tianai stared at her brother with her phoenix eyes, and spoke in a cold and icy voice.

"Who said I was stimulating you? I just chose a lifestyle I want like you." Li Xu didn't care at all and poured himself a glass of wine.

"You want a life of fighting and risking your life, and I want a life of debauchery and extravagance. As a useless person who can't practice, I can only pursue this kind of happiness."

Li Tianai bit her lower lip with too much force, and a streak of bright red blood flowed out:

"You apologize to me immediately and swear to change your ways, otherwise... I will always look down on you!"

"..."

Li Xu's hand was frozen in the air while pouring wine, and he didn't even know that the whole bottle of wine had been drained.

"You will always look down on me."

Li Xu's mouth slowly raised an ironic arc, looking directly at the disappointed and heartbroken eyes of the royal sister.

"How could I look down on you?"

"Go ask around the streets and alleys yourself. When we were fighting the sects in the past, people said you were a dog raised by Li Chunfeng. Now when we are fighting the northern barbarians, people say you are a dog raised by Emperor Yan... Li Tianai, are you really as noble as you think you are?"

"..."

After this long silence, Li Tianai didn't speak again.

Her eyes were red, and she turned around and left, as if she had made up her mind.

…

…

In the secret room inside the martial arts field in the Xiangguo Mansion.

"Fuck that saintly old lady on Tang San!"

"How could you fall asleep after just absorbing and exhaling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth twice?"

Li Xu woke up with his eyes open and exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

Feeling his face was wet for some reason, he stretched out his hand and wiped it randomly, and his palm was full of tears.
