**[My Senior Brother is Super Strong] Chapter 45**
In Fang Xiao's view, Lu Chen was undoubtedly the best candidate.
But that guy…
Thinking of her several interactions with Lu Chen made Fang Xiao feel dizzy.
A shameless guy who didn't know the meaning of shame; just thinking about it gave her a headache.
More importantly, this guy was very strong.
Even if she wanted to challenge him, she couldn't.
Fang Xiao looked at her cousin in front of her.
Although she was a disciple of Shuangyue Valley, in the Qizhou cultivation world, no one dared to disrespect her.
Coupled with her beauty, she was even known as the most beautiful woman in Qizhou.
No matter where she went, she was surrounded by admirers.
Ji Yan was the dream lover of the girls in Qizhou, while Xia Yu was the dream lover for all the men.
Even other states had many fans of hers.
But!
Fang Xiao didn't think that Xia Yu could gain any advantage in front of Lu Chen.
She didn't believe that Lu Chen would care about Xia Yu's status.
As for beauty, he would probably ignore it altogether.
Fang Xiao considered herself a beauty, but she had been ignored by Lu Chen.
Seeing Fang Xiao's embarrassed expression, Xia Yu became curious. "Sister Xiao, is there something wrong?"
Fang Xiao replied, "This person is quite capable. I just don't know if he will be willing."
"Not willing?" Bian Rourou was skeptical. "Who is this senior sister? Who wouldn't give her face?"
The fact was, as the eldest disciple of Shuangyue Valley, she was also the most beautiful woman in Qizhou.
Everyone would give her some respect.
Fang Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "I can't quite explain it, but this person…"
She struggled to find the right words.
Shameless? Yes.
Shameless, definitely.
While she felt that way, she couldn't bring herself to discuss him behind his back.
In the end, all she could say was, "Anyway, he is just difficult to deal with."
After thinking for a moment, that was the best way to describe him.
"Is it a man?" Bian Rourou asked.
Fang Xiao nodded.
Bian Rourou immediately became disdainful. "Don't worry. With my senior sister here, there won't be any man who doesn't give her face."
Fang Xiao smiled wryly.
She didn't believe Lu Chen would give Xia Yu any face.
Lu Chen was the most extraordinary person she had ever met.
And that made her think that Xia Yu's status wasn't enough.
Xia Yu asked, "Sister Xiao, is this person very strong?"
Fang Xiao nodded. "Very strong. In my opinion, he's no weaker than you, Sister Yu."
That was a very high compliment.
Xia Yu's expression sobered.
Xia Yu was no braggart; she was a representative of the younger generation in Shuangyue Valley.
She, Ji Yan, and Zhang Conglong were known as the three strongest individuals in Qizhou.
Ji Yan undoubtedly ranked first.
The second place had never been determined, and Xia Yu was a strong contender for that position.
Now that Fang Xiao had said Lu Chen's strength was on par with hers, how could that not surprise both Xia Yu and Bian Rourou?
Bian Rourou didn't believe it. "Are you sure? You said it was Zhang Conglong?"
Fang Xiao replied, "Of course not him."
Bian Rourou asked again, "Could it be Ji Yan?"
"But he can't enter the secret realm at the Nascent Soul stage."
When a person at the Nascent Soul stage enters the secret realm, the space of the realm cannot bear it and collapses.
If Ji Yan hadn't entered the Nascent Soul stage, Xia Yu would have gone to Lingxiao Peak to seek his help.
Xia Yu affirmed, "It's not Ji Yan!"
"If it were Ji Yan, Sister Xiao wouldn't say he is not weaker than me."
Before entering the Nascent Soul realm, Ji Yan had already been stronger than Xia Yu.
Fang Xiao continued, "He is not Ji Yan, but he shares a close relationship with him."
"He is Ji Yan's junior brother and a direct disciple of Lingxiao Peak from Qingyun Sect."
"Master Lu Chen."
"Lu Chen?"
Xia Yu and Bian Rourou exchanged glances.
Bian Rourou asked, "Does Ji Yan really have a junior brother?"
Lu Chen was so low-key that no one outside really knew about him.
However, it had to be noted that Ji Yan was so brilliant that he overshadowed those around him.
Fang Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, I only found out after coming here that Ji Yan has both a junior brother and a junior sister."
Bian Rourou expressed her surprise, "There's also a junior sister?"
Fang Xiao replied, "Her name is Xiao Ye, and she has a good relationship with me."
Bian Rourou asked, "Why haven't I heard of her?"
"Could it be that his junior brother isn't very strong, and that's why he's gone unnoticed?"
Fang Xiao shook her head. "Master Lu is very strong, truly very strong."
She recalled the terrifying sword intent from that night and the long sword that had almost passed her head.
Fang Xiao couldn't help but shiver at the memory.
She said, "He also comprehended the sword intent."
"What?" Xia Yu and Bian Rourou exclaimed in surprise.
It was said that among the younger generation, only Ji Yan understood the sword intent.
Apart from that, she had never heard of any other young person comprehending sword intent.
Even Xia Yu hadn't grasped it.
Xia Yu's eyes sparkled with interest. "Sister Xiao, are you being serious?"
Bian Rourou added, "Could it be that Sister Xiao is lying?"
"Is there anyone else with such talent?"
Fang Xiao replied, "What would I gain by lying to you?"
She proceeded to tell them what had happened that night.
At first, she had intended to keep it a secret.
But when faced with her cousin Xia Yu, Fang Xiao felt it was okay to share.
Besides, it was hard to keep it all bottled up without someone to talk to.
Fang Xiao feared that if she continued to hold it in, she might get sick.
After listening to Fang Xiao's story, Xia Yu and Bian Rourou were shocked.
How terrifying was it to kill a master at the Golden Elixir stage with just one sword?
After a moment of silence, Xia Yu said, "I didn't expect that the Qingyun Sect would have such a genius."
"He truly deserves to be Master Ji Yan's junior brother, no less than him."
"If he's really as Sister Xiao has described, just asking him to take action is more than enough."
Comprehending the sword intent before reaching the Nascent Soul stage was vastly different from doing so afterward.
Understanding the sword intent before the Nascent Soul stage showcased exceptional talent.
Once one entered the Nascent Soul stage, their grasp of the Dao would deepen.
They would understand sword intent as effortlessly as drinking water, making it less noteworthy.
Then, a nostalgic expression crossed Xia Yu's face.
She said, "When I faced Ji Yan before, I was defeated by him. I told him he was the number one among the youth in Qizhou."
"But Ji Yan shook his head and said, 'Not including that guy.'"
"That guy?" Bian Rourou and Fang Xiao were both surprised. "Is there such a person?"
Xia Yu continued, "It seems that Master Ji Yan was referring to his junior brother."
Bian Rourou speculated, "If he's so powerful, why is he hiding it?"
Fang Xiao shook her head; she was just as curious about that.
Xia Yu added, "Someone once asked, 'Why be indifferent to fame and fortune?'"
Xia Yu frowned slightly and tilted her head as if pondering something.
After a moment, Xia Yu said to Fang Xiao, "It seems we'll need to pay him a visit."
Xia Yu was intrigued by the Lu Chen mentioned by Fang Xiao and wanted to discuss just how powerful he really was at the Heavenly Royal Summit.
