Fantasy: My Senior Brother Is Super Strong [Comedy + Xinxia]

**[My Senior Brother is Super Strong] Chapter 44**

Faced with Lu Chen's words, Fang Xiao no longer knew how to respond.

But she didn't intend to dwell on this topic.

She had brought it up just to test the waters.

Lu Chen had already answered in this manner. If she continued pursuing the subject, she might arouse his suspicion.

She knew that Lu Chen was thoughtful and could easily become suspicious if there was too much conversation about certain topics.

That wouldn't be good for her.

Seeing that their conversation was nearly at an end, Fang Xiao said, "In that case, I won't disturb you any longer, Mr. Lu."

"I'm heading back now."

Lu Chen waved his hand casually and replied, "Go slowly; you don't need to see me off."

After Fang Xiao said goodbye, she turned to leave.

But just as she stepped outside, a violent fluctuation rippled behind her in the distance.

"Haha, second senior brother, just wait; I'm coming out!"

Fang Xiao's pupils dilated sharply.

"Is that… sword intent?"

Fang Xiao stood there, dumbfounded, staring at the direction of the wave.

Although the fluctuations disappeared quickly, she was certain that she hadn't felt wrong; it was indeed sword intent.

For a long time, Fang Xiao gazed in that direction and whispered to herself, "That voice belongs to Sister Xiao Ye."

"Could it be that she understood the sword intent?"

"But how is this possible?"

"In just one month, she comprehended the sword intent?"

Fang Xiao felt as if her worldview were collapsing.

A month ago, Xiao Ye had been working in her restaurant.

At that time, she and Xiao Ye had gradually become familiar with each other and known each other as sisters.

She had also learned about Xiao Ye's strength.

In the later period of the Qi Refining stage, one could only reach the eighth level of Qi Refinement.

And Xiao Ye had still just broken through.

Fang Xiao knew this.

Moreover, she knew from Xiao Ye that her two senior brothers planned to help her comprehend the sword intent within two months and then break through to the Foundation Building stage.

Fang Xiao had been frightened at that time.

Was it really that outrageous?

She had once thought it a joke.

Later, Lu Chen had lightly mentioned it as a joke when he took Xiao Ye away.

Fang Xiao had sighed with relief.

Fortunately, it was merely a joke.

But now, it seemed…

This was not as simple as a joke.

Fang Xiao didn't know how to describe her inner collapse.

Xiao Ye had comprehended the sword intent not in two months but in just one month.

Fang Xiao didn't know if it was because the world had become too crazy or if she simply couldn't keep up with the trends.

Could it be that she couldn't keep pace with the world?

Was the sword intent so easy to grasp that anyone could casually understand it?

Looking at the gate of Lingxiao Peak behind her, Fang Xiao wanted to rush in to take a closer look and ask questions.

Did Lingxiao Peak possess some secret that allowed people to easily grasp the sword intent?

Fang Xiao didn't know how to get back to her restaurant.

The scene that had just unfolded still hadn't allowed her to recover her senses.

It was so shocking.

If understanding the sword intent was this straightforward, could it be that Xiao Ye was also a genius?

When considering this, she realized that all three direct disciples of Lingxiao Peak had understood the sword intent.

How incredible was such potential?

At this moment, someone outside called, "Miss, someone is looking for you."

"Who?" Fang Xiao asked, then waved her hand dismissively. "Just say I'm not in the mood today and let him go back."

It was hard for her to digest what had happened today, so she didn't want to see anyone.

But a voice came from outside.

"Is it possible that my cousin doesn't even want to see me?"

Then a tall and beautiful figure appeared at the door.

Upon hearing the voice, Fang Xiao looked up, surprise written on her face.

"Sister Yu? Why are you here?"

The person who entered was none other than Xia Yu, the eldest disciple of Shuangyue Valley.

"Come in quickly."

Fang Xiao welcomed Xia Yu and Bian Rourou inside, then closed the door.

"Sister Yu, why are you here?"

Xia Yu's mother was connected to the Fang family by a branch line.

After Xia Yu became the top disciple of Shuangyue Valley, the Fang family naturally tried their best to maintain this connection.

Xia Yu and Fang Xiao were similar in age and had grown close by chance.

Their relationship had deepened.

It was precisely because of her connection to Xia Yu that Fang Xiao had been able to come to Qingyun City and open her restaurant, giving her a chance for a comeback in the family in the future.

"It's been a while since you were here."

"But I've been busy with something, so I haven't come to see you, Sister Xiao."

Xia Yu's voice was calm, soft, and pleasant, like a breath of spring breeze.

Talking to her, both men and women felt a peaceful aura.

This had something to do with the skills she practiced.

Fang Xiao replied, "If you need any help while you're here, just ask."

"If you don't say anything, you're treating me like an outsider."

Xia Yu smiled. "No way; I'm here to ask for your help."

Fang Xiao became curious at this.

She sat opposite Xia Yu and asked, "What could be so difficult for you, the chief disciple of Shuangyue Valley?"

Xia Yu, like Ji Yan and Zhang Conglong, was a representative of the younger generation in Shuangyue Valley.

Behind her stood Shuangyue Valley, one of the three sects in Qizhou.

The most famous thing about Shuangyue Valley was not only that its disciples were all female but also its financial resources.

Disciples from Shuangyue Valley were often seen as "little rich women" in their own right.

Countless cultivators sought to marry a female disciple from Shuangyue Valley as their Dao companion.

Marrying a female disciple from Shuangyue Valley was akin to securing a small treasury.

If even Xia Yu needed help, it could only mean that what had come her way was genuinely challenging.

Xia Yu explained, "That's right; I know there's a secret realm nearby."

"I initially thought my junior sister and I would explore it."

"Unfortunately, it's too vast inside, and there are a lot of dangers. Just the two of us would have a hard time completing the exploration."

"It's too late for the sect's senior sisters to arrive. So, I can only seek help here in Qingyun City."

The secret realm was different from a cave sky or a small world that could exist for an extended period.

If it wasn't opened, perhaps this secret realm would remain for a long time.

But once activated, the spiritual energy inside would gradually dissipate. Once the energy was exhausted, the secret realm would also vanish.

It was akin to a spiritual egg—once broken, it would turn into a rotten shell after a while.

Bian Rourou interjected, "The secret realm has been opened. Based on my senior sister's estimates, in about a month, the aura of the secret realm will completely disappear."

"There is something inside that is very important to my senior sister, so we can only seek outside help."

Xia Yu asked Fang Xiao, "Sister Xiao, do you have anyone to recommend?"

"You should know someone here in Qingyun City."

Fang Xiao replied, "Sister Yu, do you have any specific requirements for the candidates?"

Bian Rourou answered, "Just three or four people would be sufficient."

"Strength is essential."

Xia Yu added, "They must be at least at the Foundation Building stage; anyone weaker won't do."

Xia Yu herself was at the eighth level of the Golden Elixir stage, so she didn't expect to find someone at that level.

Just finding one or two helpers in the Foundation Building stage would suffice.

Given the various dangers in the secret realm, those who are too weak would merely become fodder.

Fang Xiao's expression brightened upon hearing this. "I can do that!"

Her strength was at the seventh level of the Foundation Building stage, so she was not weak at all.

Xia Yu smiled sweetly and confirmed, "I came to seek your help, Sister Xiao."

"Of course, I won't leave you behind."

"Sister Xiao, just recommend one or two more people, and that will be enough."

Fang Xiao nodded, then suddenly recalled someone who met Xia Yu's criteria.

For some reason, she subconsciously thought of Lu Chen.

She hesitated and said, "There is a candidate; I'm not sure if he is suitable."
