Chapter 125 Yuan Miao and Yuan Yan

Three months later, Wuliang Mountain was dyed red, like rolling red waves.

"Take your time eating!"

Xu Yuanyan had an expression of indifference, but she occasionally glanced at the foot of the mountain and, seeing someone approaching, quickly grabbed a handful of spirit rice and scattered it out. Countless firebirds immediately swarmed over.

Xu Yuanyan's residence was located halfway up the mountain. The area around the courtyard was completely bare, but there were many steel supports stacked together, resembling a steel jungle.

A flock of cardinals were perched on the perch, some frolicking and playing, while others interacted with each other, gently preening their feathers.

These little guys have incredibly sharp claws and teeth; the evidence is that steel left outdoors exposed to wind and sun should have rusted long ago.

However, these supports are now gleaming, and upon closer inspection, one can see that they are covered with the marks of the Firebird's claws and teeth.

These little creatures, though exceptionally fierce, are extremely useful. They not only serve as her guards but also as scouts. If a flock of firebirds were to disperse, it would be as if she possessed hundreds or even thousands of eyes.

The Xu family is now even considering training fire larks to serve as carrier pigeons. They are extremely fast, and if they had been in the Red Maple Forest this time, the losses might not have been so great.

Xu Yuanyan is now completely focused on these firebirds. After feeding them until they are half full, she begins to train them.

In the past, she envied her elder brother Xu Yuanhao for his outstanding talent, which enabled him to join the Qingming Sect and achieve Foundation Establishment more easily. Now that Xu Yuanlang has killed Li Luomao, she has secretly vowed that although she cannot do such an earth-shattering thing, she must achieve Foundation Establishment.

"Sister Yuanyan, Seventh Sister is getting married. Would you like to see her off?"

Xu Yuanmei dodged the omnipresent Firebirds, carefully poked her upper body into her eighth sister's courtyard, and called out loudly.

"No way. That brat backed down so quickly. I don't have a sister like that. She has no backbone at all. Just tell that guy we're never going to see each other again."

Xu Yuanyan suddenly grabbed the spirit rice and threw it all away in a fit of anger, huffing and puffing.

Xu Yuanmei looked at Xu Yuanyan, who was still angry, and was a little confused. She then spoke up.

"Eighth Sister, you and Seventh Sister are siblings from the same mother. Although everyone knows that you don't get along, you grew up together since childhood, and you almost simultaneously cultivated your inner energy and hunted demons together. Even the first Fire Cloud Sparrow was caught by the two of you together."

"After Seventh Sister marries into the Dian family, although the two families have an excellent relationship, it will still be inconvenient for them to meet again. Eighth Sister..."

"Stop talking!"

Xu Yuanyan forcefully slammed the spirit rice to the ground. As if sensing her anger, all the firebirds instantly flapped their wings and circled in the air like a blood-red storm.

Xu Yuanmei was startled and quickly shut her mouth. Xu Yuanyan suddenly pointed at the door.

"go out!"

Xu Yuanmei dared not provoke her eighth sister's bad luck, so she quickly turned around and walked away. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and took out a rather ugly wooden carving from her storage bag.

"Seventh Sister said she found something she lost when she was little, so she's returning it to you."

After saying that, she looked at Xu Yuanyan's unfriendly expression, had no choice but to put the wooden carving on the ground, and then turned and ran away.

After she left, Xu Yuanyan picked up the wood carving. Calling it a wood carving was a bit of a stretch; it only had some rough lines on it. She looked at the abstract face and chuckled.

In another lively courtyard, Xu Yuanmei jogged back to her room.

At this moment, Xu Yuanmiao, dressed in her wedding gown, was breathtakingly beautiful. She was saying goodbye to her sisters, sisters-in-law, and aunts in the room when Xu Yuanmei burst in, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"Seventh Sister..."

Xu Yuanmei shook her head in grievance, and the people around her immediately erupted in a commotion.

"This girl is being ridiculous and doesn't even know the time. Wei Huan, go and call her."

A very senior woman with completely white hair became angry, and Wei Huan hurriedly stood up, preparing to call for help.

"I gave the wood carving to her."

"Given it."

"Then forget it, everyone don't need to bother. My little sister is just having a moment of weakness. We are siblings from the same mother, and we don't have any deep-seated hatred for each other."

Alright, it's almost time. Get ready, I should be leaving now. Sisters, sisters-in-law, aunts, Yuanmiao, and everyone else, see you later.

As they finished speaking, tears welled up in the eyes of Xu Yuanmiao and the others; how could cultivators be without emotion?

As the sound of gongs and drums rang out, the guards dressed in red slowly set off. Just before departing, Xu Yuanmiao looked back with some regret, realizing that he had not yet seen the person he most wanted to see.

After the group passed through the Tulongkou Pass on Wuliang Mountain, the chirping of birds suddenly came from the horizon, followed by a sudden drop of red clouds. However, upon closer inspection, everyone realized that it was not a red cloud at all, but a dense flock of firebirds.

"elder sister!"

A figure suddenly pounced down the mountain. Xu Yuanmei looked up and saw it was Xu Yuanyan, who had fiercely driven her away. Was he here to cause trouble again? She was somewhat angry and prepared to step forward to stop him, but Xu Yuanmiao shook his head and said it was unnecessary.

Only then did she see Xu Yuanyan rushing down the mountain shortcut without regard for anything else. She was tightly clutching a wooden carving in her hand, which was much more exquisite than before. There was a faint outline on it, and it was clear that it was Xu Yuanyan's face.

"Sis, this is for you."

She awkwardly grabbed Xu Yuanmiao's hands, who had already boarded the car, and stuffed the wooden carving she had finished into his hands.

"I carved one for you too, little sister, here you go."

Xu Yuanmiao handed her a wooden carving with his own face on it. She looked at the wooden carving, which had the same face but a completely different temperament, just like the two of them, and carefully put it away.

"We've always competed with each other since we were little, even in cultivation. Neither of us wanted to fall behind, and neither of us would admit defeat to the other. Sister, why did you give up so quickly?"

Tears streamed down Xu Yuanyan's face as she looked at her sister, who had been her adversary for decades, with utter helplessness for the first time.

"Becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator is too difficult. My sister had no hope in this life, so she gave up in the end. Yuan Yan, my sister just accepted it. Becoming a Foundation Establishment cultivator is just a beautiful dream to me. Everyone has to wake up one day."

Xu Yuanmiao uttered a sentence that struck Xu Yuanyan like a thunderbolt, turning his face pale.

"Little sister, would you accompany me on this journey to the Dian family's house?"

Xu Yuanyan nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile.

"Just this once, you can hit me and scold me as you please!"

Upon hearing this, the wedding party burst into laughter.
