Before this, she had quite a prejudice against Chen Anlin. However, now that they had developed a substantial relationship, her way of thinking had changed.
"Brother, he’s just trying to put on an act in front of you," she thought, gazing at her pure and lovely sister. A wave of excitement surged within Li Xiang.
"Alright, I've given you the Hongling Sutra. Since you say you want to practice alchemy, then go ahead," Li Xuexin pondered. Even if her unskilled brother only had a fleeting interest, it was still better than him wandering aimlessly outside.
But just as she thought this, Li Xuexin suddenly furrowed her brows. Why did it feel like her brother's temperament had changed drastically recently? He used to be indifferent to cultivation and had no interest in alchemy at all; now, it seemed he had transformed significantly. Moreover, he was becoming more controlling over her.
But this control mostly came off as unreasonable fussing. What schemes could Young Master Chen Anlin have against her? Even if he did have intentions, he had already succeeded; in any case, she didn’t mind much anymore. Besides, after being with Chen Anlin, he had treated her quite well.
【Ding! Li Xuexin has developed suspicions about her brother Li Xiang's change in character. Fortune value plundered.】
Chen Anlin noticed the notification and stroked his chin thoughtfully. "Interesting. Li Xuexin is suspicious of Li Xiang's character changes. This Li Xiang is still too naive; having been reborn, he hasn’t made any progress at all."
Chen Anlin felt somewhat disappointed. It seemed that this Li Xiang was just an ordinary child of fortune—too weak. However, he relied heavily on his sister, so it would be best to approach him through her.
Li Xiang returned to his room with a gloomy expression and closed the door, recalling the scolding his sister had just given him.
His sister was truly clueless.
Li Xiang cursed inwardly. He was a born strongman, having even ventured into the realm of cultivation in his past life. What was his sister thinking, speaking to him like that? She had no idea who she was addressing. He was a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage!
And yet, she wanted him to be Chen Anlin's subordinate? What a joke! He was destined to be a future cultivator; how could he possibly serve under Chen Anlin?
However, seeing how dependent his sister was on Chen Anlin, it was clear she would end up suffering greatly if this continued. Li Xiang didn’t want to watch his sister make one mistake after another, so he decided he had to find a way to deal with Chen Anlin.
No matter how strong Chen Anlin was, could he compare to a Grandmaster? A first-tier Grandmaster could take him down as easily as killing a dog. Once Chen Anlin was dead, with time, his sister would gradually forget about him.
As for the difficulties their family was facing at the moment—sorry, but what did that have to do with him?
"Senior, this Chen Anlin is not a good person. I'm worried my sister will suffer losses. Can you deal with him?" Li Xiang cautiously asked as he took out a jade vial.
"Li Xiang, didn’t I tell you before? This Chen Anlin seems quite formidable!"
"Even if he's formidable, his cultivation level is right there for all to see. Senior, you're so powerful; you can easily take care of him."
Li Xiang frowned slightly. He thought to himself how could a senior be afraid of some spoiled brat? What cowardice! Of course, he could only think this in his heart; he still needed the senior's help with alchemy.
"Li Xiang, to be honest, I don’t think Chen Anlin has done anything to you; he’s even helping your sister. Why do you insist on dealing with him?"
"Senior, that's not right! Can't you see? This guy has ulterior motives toward my sister."
"It’s normal for men and women to be attracted to each other. That young man has power and influence and isn’t lacking in strength either; your sister wouldn’t be losing out by marrying him."
The first-tier Grandmaster said with some exasperation. He simply couldn’t understand why Li Xiang was so determined to go after Chen Anlin.
"Isn't cooperation a good thing? With such a strong ally by your side, isn't it great? You wouldn't have to struggle as much."
Li Xiang's anger flared up even more. "Senior, my sister would never like that person!"
"I've noticed your sister's attitude towards Chen Anlin; she seems quite fond of him. But you, on the other hand, are being unreasonable. It’s as if you think she should only be with a poor loser."
"I’m not!" Li Xiang retorted angrily.
"Alright, stop explaining yourself. I've lived long enough to see that you have feelings for your sister, don’t you?"
"What? How could that be? She's my sister!"
"Then why are you stopping her from finding happiness? Even a Grandmaster doesn't seem to give you any face," he said with a hint of disdain in his tone.
If it weren't for the fact that he was currently in a spiritual form and could only act through Li Xiang, he wouldn't bother associating with such a petty person.
"I'm not stopping her! I just don't want her to be with Chen Anlin. Anyway, Senior, find a way to get rid of Chen Anlin. Poison him—just poison him without anyone noticing. Afterwards, we can say it was the Xiaoyao Sect or Lin Mountain Valley who did it."
"That way, the court will focus their attention on those sects. Hahaha, this plan is simply brilliant."
The Grandmaster fell silent for a moment before finally agreeing. "Your plan does have its merits. However, I still think it's unnecessary to deal with Chen Anlin. As long as he’s alive, he can garner more support from the court, which would benefit your Wan Jian Mountain Villa."
"Alright, Senior, let's proceed with my plan. Do you understand?" Li Xiang was too lazy to listen to his objections.
"Sigh..."
