Chapter 220 The Origin of Grudges

"This... Senior Brother Lin, there's something wrong with his wine. He made us pass out and tricked us into being drunk!"

Several disciples from other sects immediately started to clamor in dissatisfaction.

Lin Shiyi pointed at the drunken disciples, shook his head and said with a smile: "Take a closer look."

Upon hearing this, the monks also looked over. Although the disciples who drank the immortal wine were drunk on the ground, a faint light was emanating from their bodies. Their aura was also slowly rising, and it looked like they had taken some magic medicine.

Seeing this, the remaining disciples all showed surprised expressions.

Li Jiuxian was even more drunken and said: "I will take my immortal wine and exchange it for your immortal wine. How about it? Do you want to exchange it?"

Since there were tangible benefits, the disciples were not fools and they immediately offered up all the immortal wine on their tables. They held the immortal wine in their hands, found a comfortable place to lean against, and then drank it all in excitement.

Soon, the disciples were all drunk, but their auras rose as expected.

The immortal wine brewed by this Divine Transformation cultivator was indeed good stuff. The auras of those disciples gradually became stronger, and they were about to break through.

Li Jiuxian looked at the wine jars piled up in front of him, his mouth wide open with joy. He sat down on the ground and started drinking.

Seeing this, Lin Shiyi shook his head, then bowed and said, "Senior, please do as you please. I have something important to attend to, so I will not accompany you any longer."

Li Jiuxian didn't even look at Lin Shiyi, just waved his hands randomly and kept drinking.

Lin Shiyi didn't bother him any more. He got out of the Benlei Ship and headed straight for the Demon Refining Palace.

When I entered the hall, I saw Lu Qingyao sitting alone on the phoenix chair in a daze.

Lin Shiyi didn't say anything, but directly took out the Heart Demon Mirror from the storage bag. He controlled the mirror with his vital energy and let it slowly fly towards Lu Qingyao.

Lu Qingyao was still thinking about something. When she saw the mirror flying over, she quickly took it in her hand and examined it carefully. She couldn't help but said in surprise: "This is my Heart Demon Mirror! Where did you find it?"

Lin Shiyi answered truthfully: "I took it from a mysterious man."

He did not reveal the man's name because he wanted to trick Lu Qingyao.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Lu Qingyao immediately looked worried and asked, "Where is that man? How is he now?"

Lin Shiyi then asked, "Why is the Palace Master so worried about him? What is your relationship with him?"

Lu Qingyao was stunned, and realized that she had overreacted, so she said with a complicated expression: "I just want to know who stole the treasure..."

Seeing that she was still unwilling to speak, Lin Shiyi said confidently: "He told me the truth. His name is Lu Lingxi, and he and you, Palace Master, are brothers from the same mother."

Lin Shiyi only knew that the man's name was Lu Lingxi, and the rest were all guesses. However, his confident look made Lu Qingyao believe it.

She looked sad and said, "I never thought my silly brother would tell you his identity..."

Lin Shiyi secretly thought that he was right in his guess. Lu Qingyao and Lu Lingxi were actually siblings.

So he spoke to comfort her, "Don't worry, Lu Lingxi is fine, but he refused to return to the Demon Refining Palace. He is your brother, and I can't force him to come back, so I just ignored him."

Lu Qingyao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then she asked with a hint of anticipation: "Then... has Lingxi ever mentioned me?"

Many years ago, Lu Lingxi was dissatisfied with Lu Qingyao's actions and left the Demon Refining Palace without saying a word, causing Lu Qingyao to still worry about him today.

But seeing the expectation in Lu Qingyao's eyes, Lin Shiyi couldn't bear to tell her the truth.

Lu Lingxi said a lot of bad things about Lu Qingyao, saying that she had brought shame to the Lu family. If Lu Qingyao heard these words, wouldn't she be heartbroken?

So he thought about it, and then said, "He did mention it. He said he missed you too, but his ideas were different from yours, so he didn't want to come back for the time being."

Lu Qingyao nodded slightly and couldn't help but smile.

Lu Lingxi's departure from the palace has always been a concern for her. At the beginning, the two siblings had different ideas. Lu Qingyao believed that she should endure humiliation and slowly expand her power before turning against the three major forces. However, Lu Lingxi was unwilling to do so. He angrily accused Lu Qingyao of being servile to the envoys of the three forces and said that she was a sinner of the Lu family.

How could Lu Qingyao not be sad when her brother said this? But in order to let Lu Lingxi grow up safely, she had to do this. However, Lu Lingxi did not understand her sister's painstaking efforts and left the Demon Refining Palace in anger.

As her thoughts turned, old memories came to her mind and Lu Qingyao couldn't help but sigh.

Lin Shiyi sat on a chair beside him in silence. He did not say anything either, just waiting for Lu Qingyao to speak.

Not long after, Lu Qingyao stood up, flew down from the platform, and landed in front of Lin Shiyi.

She also sat on a chair beside him and said with a sad look, "I have never told anyone these words, but now I want to tell you, are you willing to listen?"

Lin Shiyi held his chin and said, "You say it. You are the Palace Master, and I am just the Guardian. My official position is here. How dare I not listen to you?"

This time, Lu Qingyao didn't argue with him. She just looked ahead, and her thoughts seemed to have gone back many years.

"A long time ago, in addition to the three major forces in the Hunyuan Star Realm, there was another extremely powerful force..."

"This force doesn't have a resounding name, it's just called the 'Lu Family', but everyone is extremely wary of the Lu Family, not for anything else, but because the head of the Lu Family, Lu Dongjun, is the only cultivator at the peak of the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, and he is only one step away from the realm of Refining Void."

Lin Shiyi listened quietly. He needed to find out the grudge between Lu Qingyao and the Divine Palace. Knowing more would also help his future plans.

Lu Qingyao's eyes were calm, and she continued to speak slowly: "Although Lu Dongjun is powerful, he is kind to others and never bullies the weak. Therefore, he has become friends with the leaders of the three major forces, and has contacts with many independent cultivators, especially the God King Long Tianyou of the Divine Palace. He and Lu Dongjun are the best friends. The two often drink and talk happily, and discuss matters of cultivation together. Not only that, they are also in seclusion together, guiding each other, and preparing to explore the realm above the Divine Transformation together."

"But who knew that Long Tianyou had ulterior motives, and attacked Lu Dongjun at the critical moment of his cultivation, killing him... After killing Lu Dongjun, he led the monks of the Divine Palace to kill the Lu family and swept away all the skills and treasures treasured by the Lu family..."

Having said that, the hatred in Lu Qingyao's eyes could no longer be concealed. Her body trembled slightly and her fists clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

Lin Shiyi finally figured it all out. It turned out that the feud between the Lu family and the Temple of God originated from this.

It’s no wonder that Lu Qingyao killed the monks from the Divine Palace as soon as she saw them. Who could bear the revenge of exterminating their entire family?

But as a bystander, he could see many suspicious points.
