Thanks to "Xuan An Yin Yan" for the reward, mwah~

*****************************

Even Li Shuning probably didn’t expect that Shen Jian would be so proactive.

But it was precisely Shen Jian’s initiative that quickly improved his relationship with Luo Xiao.

The two were inseparable, living at Luo Xiao’s place for a full half month before coming out. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Of course, they were still relatively restrained in public.

Although in this era, people are relatively tolerant of same-gender relationships.

However, given Luo Xiao’s status, and Shen Jian being the Shen Family’s cherished youngest son, if people knew they were together, they might still try to intervene.

After all, the Shen Family has relatively few members, and cultivating the next generation is very important.

Luo Xiao and Shen Jian didn’t want to be talked about.

So in the eyes of outsiders, they were still good brothers.

"Brother Luo, actually, I lied before. This necklace was given to me by Li Shuning, and now I’m returning the necklace to her, it’s like ending things."

Luo Xiao nodded and smiled without blaming Shen Jian, making Shen Jian feel that Luo Xiao was even better to him.

Shen Jian went straight to Li Shuning.

Li Shuning looked at the necklace Shen Jian handed over, expression indifferent: "Something I gave away, there’s no reason to take back. If you don’t want it, just throw it away. I gave it to you purely as a friend, and returning it means even friendship is over, right?"

Shen Jian hesitated a bit, not knowing what to say.

Li Shuning suddenly smiled: "You can go now, making it seem like I’m the one who did something wrong. Shen Jian, from now on, we have nothing to do with each other."

Then Li Shuning left, and Shen Jian felt inexplicably uncomfortable in his heart.

Why is it like this?

He clearly thought it through, didn’t he?

A bit disoriented, Shen Jian walked out of the Li Family, still clutching the necklace.

Luo Xiao’s gaze flickered, then he asked with concern: "Xiao Jian, what’s wrong?"

"Brother Luo, I just feel a bit uncomfortable. So many years of friendship, and it has come to this. Actually, I’m at fault too. Forget it. Shuning said to throw it away, but I don’t want to. I’ll keep it for now."

Shen Jian’s indecision made Luo Xiao increasingly dissatisfied.

Just a little girl, yet she holds such an important place in Shen Jian’s heart?

Before, it was fine that Shen Jian’s heart wasn’t with her. But now they’re together, how can he allow a shadow of another woman in his mind?

However, the Li Family and the Shen Family are close. How to make Li Shuning disappear?

It’s said Li Shuning rarely leaves home, so there’s seemingly no opportunity to act.

And once Li Shuning is killed, the Li Family isn’t easy to deal with either. If there’s a single mistake in the investigation, both she and Shen Jian would be doomed...

Luo Xiao’s brow furrowed.

She always leaves no room for leniency, cutting grass and rooting out its roots.

Li Shuning, through that necklace, naturally saw Luo Xiao’s expression and sneered. This person, much like in the plot, even if she’s not Shen Jian’s wife, anything or anyone related to Shen Jian that he can’t let go of, she will surely destroy.

Even if Li Shuning and Shen Jian have fallen out, they grew up together, and there’s still some sentiment left.

What Li Shuning said before would definitely make Shen Jian conflicted.

Naturally, it would provoke Luo Xiao’s killing intent.

In the plot, all the Li Family members met a bad end, so from now on, this game truly begins.

Three or four months later, the Insect Clan invaded, and the situation became increasingly perilous again.

In the plot, Luo Xiao’s disappearance during a bandit hunt didn’t happen. That was just a show. Now that she’s in love with Shen Jian, she naturally won’t do that. She’s looking for a chance to make Shen Jian’s heart only have her.

The five brothers of the Li Family had to go to the front lines to fight.

They didn’t even have time to have a farewell dinner and directly boarded the Starship, heading to the most severely affected areas by the insect disaster.

Of course, it wasn’t just the five brothers of the Li Family. Many from the Li Family went along, and the Alliance sent a lot of people too.

Upon arrival, the commander, a Tenth Rank expert, was already waiting there.

This time, Luo Xiao didn’t go. He had more prospects for development, and fighting the Insect Clan was too dangerous. Though hunting bandits was also risky, it was more manageable.

It’s worth knowing that Luo Xiao is the most likely to break through in the Alliance and become an ultimate strongman, a hope of the Alliance.

Li Shuning publicly declared she was going into closed-door cultivation, but in fact, she disguised herself and went to the front lines with her five brothers.

Initially, Li Xing and Wang Yulan were against it, but Li Shuning persistently persuaded them, emphasizing her own strength and that she’s on the verge of breaking through and needs real combat experience to advance, so she must go and the like.

Helplessly, Li Xing and Wang Yulan allowed Li Shuning to go, but repeatedly instructed the five brothers to look after their sister.

They also brought out quite a few good items for the siblings to protect themselves with.

Of course, only Li Xing and Wang Yulan knew about this, and Li Shuning repeatedly emphasized that she couldn’t tell anyone in the Shen Family, not even Shen Kezhong.

Li Xing has always indulged Li Shuning, so he naturally listened to her.

And Wang Yulan has increasingly disapproved of the Shen Family’s behavior in recent years, so naturally, she wouldn’t disclose her daughter’s whereabouts.

Who knows if Shen Jian would go crazy again, like last time publicly scolding Li Shuning. What about next time? If he causes trouble on the battlefield, it would be their daughter who suffers.

Five or six days after the brothers left, Shen Jian, whose strength had improved, needed a few days of calm cultivation. Luo Xiao took the opportunity to say he had some matters to attend to and would leave for some time, letting Shen Jian focus on breaking through.

Though Shen Jian was a bit reluctant, important matters come first, so he naturally wouldn’t cling.

Luo Xiao quietly went to the front lines, also under disguise. She felt this was a great opportunity to inflict a heavy blow to the Li Family. If the sons on the battlefield all died, what would happen to the Li Family?

At least after dressing up, even Shen Jian couldn’t recognize him, so he wasn’t worried about being discovered as Luo Xiao at all.

Obviously, not including Li Shuning.

Li Shuning recognized people not just by face; she preferred using spiritual power to sense the spiritual power of others. Everyone’s spiritual power is different.

She naturally also knew the fluctuations of Luo Xiao’s spiritual power, so she wasn’t worried about his disguise. As long as he came, her goal was achieved, and she could also guess his goal.

The six siblings teamed up to fight the Insect Clan effectively, and each was a reliable blood relative who could trust their back to. Naturally, they fought without reservations too.

Li Shuning masked her strength, but in moments of crisis, she would quietly assist.

After about ten days of fighting, while others were more or less in a sorry state, the six siblings remained clean and seemed to have plenty of energy.
