Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

"Brother!"

Zhou Xi also looked at Zhou Yu with surprise.

Although their last parting could be considered as a falling out.

But how could a relationship of over a decade be broken because of one argument?

During the time in the Demon Abyss, Zhou Xi had missed Zhou Yu more than once.

Years of being together had made them completely accustomed to each other's presence.

Zhou Xi had also become completely accustomed to Zhou Yu treating her well.

Although she was gradually realizing that Zhou Yu's kindness towards her might be mixed with other factors.

But...

Being treated well is being treated well.

This is undeniable.

She even started to think whether her attitude back then was too stubborn.

Whether there was a better way to make Zhou Yu accept her departure.

Although after thinking for a while, her conclusion was that there wasn't.

The time was too short, she couldn't slowly persuade Zhou Yu and make him agree to her leaving.

"Xi'er, I miss you."

"I miss you too, brother."

However, they met on the battlefield, with countless demons rushing towards them, so they didn't waste time on unnecessary words. They fought on their own, occasionally glancing at each other.

Just a glance at each other was enough to satisfy them.

But when Zhou Yu saw Zhou Xi wielding her halberd and fighting the demons fiercely, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of heartache.

This was the woman he cherished, now fighting against the demons on the battlefield.

"Xi'er, did Gu Lingxiao just leave you here?"

Even though it wasn't the time to talk, Zhou Yu couldn't help but speak up.

Because seeing Zhou Xi in her current state, he truly felt heartache.

He could even imagine how much hardship Zhou Xi had endured to grow to this point.

Zhou Xi looked at Zhou Yu's slightly indignant face, feeling a bit puzzled. "Um... yes."

"What a bastard!" Zhou Yu became furious. "Is this his so-called opportunity? Suffering in the Demon Abyss, is that considered an opportunity?"

He was genuinely angry.

In his opinion, if Gu Lingxiao really wanted to give Zhou Xi an opportunity.

Then he should have taken her to a sacred place for cultivation, providing her with excellent techniques and abundant resources. That would be considered giving her an opportunity.

But how could the current situation be called an opportunity?

"But brother, my cultivation has really made great progress. Gu Lingxiao gave me a technique that is very useful to me. Look at me, I've already reached the Immortal King realm, just like you before you left to participate in the Jiuli Tower."

Zhou Xi was six years younger than Zhou Yu.

In terms of age, Zhou Xi reached the Immortal King realm five and a half years earlier than Zhou Yu.

She sincerely believed that her cultivation progress was rapid.

If this couldn't be considered an opportunity, then what could?

"But... you've suffered too much! How about this, I'll go talk to Master, and you can also join the Xuantai Saint Sect."

Zhou Yu knew that he was currently the most favored and valued disciple of the Xuantai Saint Sect.

He believed that the Xuantai Saint Sect wouldn't refuse his request.

"No need. As long as Gu Lingxiao is willing, I will continue to cultivate under him. Besides, the technique I'm currently cultivating is quite special, and I can only progress quickly in the Demon Abyss."

"How is that possible? What kind of technique has such...restrictions?"

Zhou Yu originally wanted to say it was burdensome, but his words changed before they left his mouth.

Zhou Xi shook her head, indicating that she didn't intend to answer.

"Xi'er, come with me."

"Brother, I won't leave here for a short time."

"Why?"

"Do you really want to know, brother?"

"Yes."

Zhou Yu furrowed his brows, not understanding why Zhou Xi would refuse him.

They had just reunited, and Zhou Xi had shown a very surprised expression.

So logically, she should still have feelings for him.

Why would you not want to walk with yourself?

"Then I can tell my brother my thoughts."

"Because ever since Master Gu brought me to the Zangmo Abyss, I have witnessed a whole new world."

"I have seen many people lose their loved ones because of the demon race. Their wives leave, their families are destroyed, and they die."

"I have seen some people who are not long for this world, yet still willing to burn themselves in the Zangmo Abyss, using their last bit of strength to kill the demons."

"I used to not know the purpose of cultivation and the meaning of life, but now I know."

"I will eradicate the demon race and eliminate evil!"

Zhou Xi's voice was resolute.

A faint golden light descended from the sky and entered Zhou Xi's body.

Zhou Yu carefully observed Zhou Xi and noticed that although her appearance was the same as before, her eyes were completely different from the previous Zhou Xi.

The previous Zhou Xi's eyes were generally soft with a hint of determination.

Like a small white flower standing tall in the storm, it was the best interpretation of her.

But now, the softness in Zhou Xi's eyes was gone, replaced by an unparalleled determination.

The little girl who used to need protection from the wind and rain had disappeared, leaving behind a female warrior who could stand on her own.

She was different from the girl in his memories.

"But..."

Zhou Yu's expression was extremely complicated.

Zhou Xi's growth was undoubtedly something to be happy about, but he couldn't feel happy.

Because he felt that if things continued like this, the distance between him and Zhou Xi would only grow further.

At the same time, he was filled with anger towards the instigator of all this, Gu Lingxiao.

If Gu Lingxiao hadn't taken Zhou Xi away, things would never have turned out like this today!

Swoosh~

A long halberd pierced the heart of a demon, and Zhou Xi forcefully stirred inside the demon's body. The demon completely lost its life and was finally thrown away by Zhou Xi, disappearing from Zhou Yu's sight.

The clean and neat movement made Zhou Yu realize that the current Zhou Xi was truly different from before.

"But what?" Zhou Xi asked in confusion.

"But I still hope that Xi'er can stay by my side. Xi'er's wishes, I will help her fulfill them," Zhou Yu said, still looking at Zhou Xi with great hope.

However, beneath this hope, there was also a gradually suppressed anger.

But Zhou Xi didn't notice his gaze and continued to kill the demons around her while speaking.

"Sorry, brother. During this time, Xi'er still hopes to continue cultivating under Master Gu's guidance."

Zhou Xi's thoughts were simple.

With Gu Lingxiao's help, she had found a new direction in her life and accepted the techniques he had given her.

She hadn't even crushed the jade pendant Gu Lingxiao had given her yet.

Next, she would definitely crush the jade pendant and follow Gu Lingxiao's arrangements.

How could she stay by Zhou Yu's side?

But Zhou Yu, who was already filled with anger, became completely furious when he heard the words "Master Gu."

"It's Gu Lingxiao again! What kind of spell did he cast on you? Making you not want to return to my side? Is being with me so unhappy for you?"

Zhou Yu clenched his fists and stared at Zhou Xi fiercely.

But Zhou Xi furrowed her brows, unable to understand Zhou Yu's emotional fluctuations and why they were so intense.

They were siblings, but after growing up, they had chosen different paths in life. Wasn't that normal?

Whether they were mortal siblings or cultivator siblings, it didn't make sense for them to stick together all the time.

They had simply chosen different paths in life, not severed their relationship and never interacted again.

If they wanted to meet, couldn't they find time to see each other and catch up?

Countless thoughts surged in Zhou Xi's mind, leaving her confused.

But seeing Zhou Yu's agitated emotions, Zhou Xi ultimately didn't voice these doubts.

She was afraid that these questions would upset Zhou Yu.

"Tell me! What did he do to you?"

Seeing Zhou Xi's silence, Zhou Yu's eyes burned with anger.

This was the first time he had seen Zhou Xi show such anger towards him.

After hesitating for a moment, she chose to voice all the doubts that had just arisen in her mind.

But unexpectedly, these words made Zhou Yu burst into uncontrollable laughter.
