13: I Have an Elder Brother? (2)

I Have an Elder Brother? (2)

"Miss, you were angry with Young Master and didn't allow anyone to mention him," Lü Tao explained.0

Leng Ruoxue closed her eyes and slowly searched through the memories of the Silly Ruoxue.

And… it turned out to have something to do with the seventh prince again. In addition to a grandfather who loved her, she also had a very protective elder brother who loved her. Because she was always bullied by the seventh prince, her brother sought revenge and beat him up. But somehow, the Silly Ruoxue found out and refused to recognize this brother anymore.

"Xue'er, Xue'er."

While Leng Ruoxue was looking through her memories, she heard her grandfather calling her. She immediately opened her eyes and saw him walking in.

"Grandpa, my big brother…" Leng Ruoxue looked at her grandfather without blinking.

"Xue'er, are you still mad at Ruohan? He has always been good to you," Leng Qingtian probed her tentatively since she asked. Although he loved both grandchildren, he adored Ruoxue more. Moreover, his granddaughter had lost part of her memory because of her injury, so he felt even more concern for her.

"Grandpa, Xue'er used to be ignorant and couldn't appreciate Big Brother's painstaking care. But now I am clear-headed, so how could I be angry with him anymore!" Leng Ruoxue was touched. Although foolish, the Silly Ruoxue was really fortunate to have these loving family members! This was probably a blessing for someone unfortunate. After becoming this Ruoxue, she was also blessed and could finally feel the love that she had always desired, so she would definitely cherish it.

"Grandpa, Xue'er can't remember many things. Please tell me about my big brother," Leng Ruoxue pleaded.

"Alright. Xue'er, your brother ranks second on the Genius Rankings. He's the pride of our Leng family. Now, he's studying at the Heavenly Phoenix Academy, and he is the last disciple of the principal, who is that old fellow just you saw," Leng Qingtian explained.

<em

No wonder that old man doesn't like me.</em

Leng Ruoxue could understand why. <em

His genius disciple isn't as cared for at home as much as a simpleton girl. No wonder he's angry as a master.</em

"The Genius Rankings?" Leng Ruoxue looked at her grandfather in puzzlement.

"Erm… it's the ranking for the top fifty genius youths who are thirty years old and below on the Ling Feng Continent," Leng Qingtian explained.

"Oh." Leng Ruoxue didn't expect the rankings to be for the entire Ling Feng Continent. <em

My brother is the second on the entire continent. He must be a stunning and exceptional genius!</em

"Grandpa, who's first then?" Leng Ruoxue was curious about who was even better than her brother.

"Huo Qing, the genius young master of the Huo Family, the first of the Five Great Families."

"Is his aptitude better than my brother's?"

"Both of them have superior-grade spiritual power affinity, but his spiritual power has one more attribute than Ruohan's." The Genius Rankings first compared spiritual power affinity and then spiritual power attributes. If both were the same, there would be a tie.

"Grandpa, I want to visit my brother tomorrow," Leng Ruoxue suddenly said. After hearing about him, she was very curious about this talented brother who loved his sister.

"Good! Uh… Xue'er, there's actually something else," Leng Qingtian said hesitantly.

"What is it, Grandpa?" Leng Ruoxue was puzzled. It was rare to see her grandfather hesitating.

Leng Qingtian thought for a moment, and then he took out the imperial edict, handed it Xue'er, and gestured for her to see for herself.

Leng Ruoxue opened the edict in bewilderment. "Ye Chen? Who is that?"

Leng Qingtian was relieved that his precious granddaughter didn't seem to be as angry as he thought she would.

"Ye Chen is from one of the Five Great Families. He's the second son from a side branch of the Ye family. His mother is the seventh prince's aunt, Noble Consort Fang's biological sister. But… he was born frail and sickly."

After listening to her grandfather's explanation, Leng Rouxue understood now.<em

It's that seventh prince again. The emperor evidently has a scheme regarding Grandfather. Why is the seventh prince like a lingering ghost always haunting me? Hmph! Better not let me meet him, or else he will get it!</em

"Grandpa, just ignore the imperial edict. Getting married or not is up to me!" Leng Ruoxue said somewhat arrogantly. She didn't have a good impression of the imperial family, so she didn't want to get involved with them, albeit Ye Chen was not that closely related. As long as she pretended to be intellectually disabled, she was sure the emperor couldn't do much to her. She was a 'simpleton' after all!

Although this was a world that respected the strong, before becoming a powerhouse above imperial power, imperial power was still supreme. So she didn't want to cause trouble for her grandfather. Although her grandfather was at peak Spiritual Sovereign and the first person under Spiritual Supremacy, he was still not a Spiritual Supremacy-level powerhouse. In this world, only by becoming a Spiritual Supremacy would you be qualified to stand on equal footing with imperial power. And only by becoming a Spiritual Deity could you truly stand above imperial power. This was her goal.

"Of course! I will fight with my life on the line against anyone who tries to force my precious granddaughter to do anything she doesn't like!" Leng Qingtian said dotingly. He didn't really care about the imperial edict bestowing marriage. He was just worried that she would be angry. But seeing that Xue'er didn't take it seriously at all, he was relieved.

"Xue'er, this is for you." Leng Qingtian handed her a golden badge.

Leng Ruoxue took the badge in confusion. On the front, there were only the two words, 'Heavenly Phoenix', while the back was blank.

"You are now a student of the Heavenly Phoenix Academy. This badge shows your identity. Don't lose it, or the academy won't let you in!" Leng Qingtian reminded her.

"Grandpa, don't you need to pass an entrance test to enter the Heavenly Phoenix Academy?" Leng Ruoxue asked. From what she knew, the Heavenly Phoenix Academy was one of the three top academies on the Ling Feng Continent, and the entrance test was very strict. Anyone who could enroll in it was a genius or at least an elite.
