A Family of Hopeless Romantics, Except for the Evil Little Junior Brother-Chapter 89: Finally Fell For It

After settling the matters in Panlong City.

Zhao Lu returned to the palace with the Golden Armor Guards and her mother.

At Zhao Lu’s repeated requests, Li Xuanxiao finally agreed to accompany her back.

The journey was uneventful, and soon, the group arrived at the capital city of Daxia.

Zhao Lu secretly let out a smile: („ಡωಡ„)

"Finally fell for it!!!"

Arriving at the imperial palace in the capital, Li Xuanxiao slowly raised his head, the sunlight a little blinding.

He couldn’t help but squint slightly, gazing into the distance.

From afar came the sound of a lively commotion—gongs and drums, suona blaring—it was bustling!

Focusing his gaze, he saw a wedding procession heading this way.

The team was dressed in bright red clothing, their steps uniform and orderly.

A grand bridal sedan was steadily carried by several burly men, decorated with intricate patterns and silk, looking especially festive.

Just then, two figures appeared ghost-like out of nowhere, instantly flanking Li Xuanxiao on either side.

Both were cultivators at the Spirit Transformation Stage, radiating powerful auras, sandwiching Li Xuanxiao tightly between them.

Meanwhile, looking to the side—Zhao Lu.

In less than the blink of an eye, she had already changed outfits.

Now she was dressed in a luxurious red robe, like a blooming, radiant flower.

Her beauty was absolutely stunning—skin like cream, brows like distant ink, eyes as dazzling as the stars.

“Senior Brother~”

“This is what you taught me!”

“When facing someone stronger, pretend to be weak, don’t act rashly, plan before taking action,”

“It’s best to lure them to your own turf first, then make your move.”

Li Xuanxiao:..........

She really used all her cleverness on her senior brother.

“Senior Brother, just say yes to me already.”

Li Xuanxiao swept the area with his divine sense—there weren’t just the two Spirit Transformation cultivators.

There were over ten Golden Core Stage guards around, and beneath their feet was a large formation laid out by a talisman master.

The stone tiles on the ground had been specially treated.

To prevent Earth Escape.

That was Li Xuanxiao’s most skilled escape technique.

Li Xuanxiao nodded.

Good. Not bad for a student of mine.

Li Xuanxiao looked at the storage ring on his hand again.

That was handed over earlier when entering the palace, as required by the palace guards.

Storage rings had to be deposited outside.

As expected, those who plot against others are often plotted against!

“Senior Brother... do you hate me that much?”

Zhao Lu said coyly.

“Senior Brother, if you marry me, you’ll be the Prince Consort. My royal father and mother dote on me so much. When I inherit the throne in the future, I’ll pass it on to you. You’ll be the Emperor, isn’t that great?”

“Not great at all.”

Li Xuanxiao refused without hesitation.

Zhao Lu puffed up her cheeks.

“Senior Brother, then don’t blame your junior sister for being ruthless!

A melon forced off the vine isn't sweet, but it quenches thirst. Let’s cook the rice now.

Bowing to Heaven and Earth!”

With a wave of her hand, the two Spirit Transformation cultivators firmly dragged Li Xuanxiao toward the bridal sedan.

“First, get Senior Brother changed.”

Zhao Lu clapped her hands again.

A group of palace maids stepped forward gracefully, cautiously carrying a bright red wedding robe.

On close inspection, the robe was crafted with fine gold thread embroidery, each thread shimmering like stars in the night sky.

Its designs were exquisitely intricate, featuring lifelike phoenixes, mandarin ducks, and other auspicious symbols, representing marital bliss and harmony.

From the design and materials, it was obvious this wedding robe had been meticulously planned and crafted over a long time.

No doubt countless master artisans poured their efforts and time into making such a magnificent piece.

Clearly, this wasn’t a sudden whim from Zhao Lu.

She had been plotting this for quite a while.

“Senior Brother, pretty, right? As long as you’re with me, all of this will be yours. Plus, my inner treasury.”

“Underwear?”

“No, not that.” Zhao Lu blushed. “I mean my inner treasury. It was prepared for me since I was a child by my mother. It holds countless rare treasures and enough wealth for a lifetime.”

Li Xuanxiao nodded.

“Senior Brother, you agree?”

“I meant let’s hurry back to Mount Shushan, don’t wander around outside.”

As he spoke, Li Xuanxiao’s body suddenly began to dissolve.

In the end, it turned into an octopus tail.

Zhao Lu’s eyes widened, “It’s... Senior Brother’s clone!”

“Bad Senior Brother, smelly Senior Brother. You promised to go home with me, but sent a clone instead.”

“Crying and whining won’t solve anything. Remember what happened today.

Write a 10,000-word argumentative essay themed ‘Those who plot against others are often plotted against’, and an 8,000-word post-event summary.

Your essay must clearly state the central idea to deepen the message.”

A voice came from the octopus tail, which then began to dissolve on its own, leaving no trace for the enemy to analyze.

“.........”

After returning to the palace, Zhao Lu went to greet her royal father.

When she arrived at the Emperor’s chambers, a eunuch saw her from afar and hurried to bow.

Zhao Lu had always been favored by the Emperor, and was often allowed into his chambers since childhood.

Now that she was a disciple of Mount Shushan, the eunuchs knew well enough to flatter her.

Thus, Zhao Lu followed the eunuch into the chambers.

“How is my father doing?” Zhao Lu asked.

The eunuch wiped sweat from his brow, “Princess, you’re finally back. His Majesty has been in a terrible mood lately. No one can calm him down—only you.”

“Is it because of the Panlong City matter?” Zhao Lu asked.

“We lowly servants didn’t dare to ask.”

As they walked, the eunuch leaned closer.

“Princess, allow this old servant to report your return. His Majesty will surely be delighted to hear it.”

Zhao Lu nodded.

The eunuch entered, and not long after, the Emperor’s furious voice echoed from within.

“Get out!!”

“Get out!”

“I won’t see anyone.”

“.......”

Moments later, the eunuch returned awkwardly.

“Princess, as you see...”

“Father, it’s me—your Lu’er is back,” Zhao Lu called.

“Out! All of you out! I won’t see anyone.”

Zhao Lu frowned.

“Out! I said out!”

Zhao Lu stomped her foot in anger and turned to leave.

“......”

Inside the luxurious royal chambers, the old Emperor, with white hair and deep wrinkles, stood seething with rage.

His once-cloudy eyes now burned with fury and despair, as he violently grabbed whatever was within reach—

Delicate porcelain, priceless scrolls, ornate decorations—

And smashed them all to the floor without mercy.

With every crisp shattering sound, the chamber descended into chaos.

The floor was soon littered with shards and debris.

“D*mn it!!”

“Where the h*ll am I going to find another Spirit Transformation Stage puppet?!”

“And in the end, it was my own daughter, leading the Golden Armor Guards I trained, to destroy my puppet!!”

“It’s only refined a few people—what good is that?!”

“Your Majesty, the exam questions you provided—none of the candidates this year could answer them.”

“Get out!!”

The old Emperor roared.

“They don’t even know CaO + CO2 = CaCO3. They don’t even know the Palace Jade Liquor Wine is 181 per cup.

They don’t even know ‘Raising my head, I gaze at the bright moon;lowering it, I think of home’. What’s the point of taking the imperial exam?! Just go sell sweet potatoes instead.

Keep looking, find that person for me!

The one who knows the next line to ‘The vast horizon is my love…’

The one who knows what a car is, what a plane is.”

“...Yes, Your Majesty.”
