Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1095: Chapter 1075: The Existence of Zero

”Oh my, you’re dragging this out.” Qianqian rolled her eyes, looking at her brother who was at a loss for words, feeling speechless.

Is this really her brother? Not just some grade schooler afraid to speak in front of a teacher?

Considering the presence of elders, Tang Tianyi also maintained an image of calm composure, speaking less to avoid mistakes.

Qianqian directly laid out her intentions in a burst of chatter; after all, she didn’t plan to ignore her father. Saying it once or twice didn’t make a difference anyway.

Saying it once saves the trouble.

”Uh, so what?” Luo Xinyue showed no sign of surprise.

”So, does father and brother really expect me to hold up the entire family on my own?” Qianqian blinked her large eyes, full of grievance.

She looked at Tang Tianyi beside her, laughing darkly: ”Or are they comfortable with me and Tianyi setting off to roam the world together? Eloping to the Moon?”

Luo Shufan’s face turned dark. Although Tianyi was the brother-in-law he was grooming, it was still displeasing to hear his sister talk like this in front of him...

”Dad, dad, grandpa agreed, and he said the Luo Family stands behind me.” Qianqian’s big eyes were filled with grievance: ”Does dad want to abandon me and brother again? I know brother will stand behind me.”

Luo Shufan’s expression improved considerably.

Indeed, no matter what his sister did, she was his sister to protect, so he would firmly stand behind her.

”Did you know there are parts scattered outside the Cultivation World?” Luo Xinyue spoke indifferently: ”When these fragments return, the Cultivation World isn’t waiting for you to rebuild it. Letting your grandfather go, isn’t that just waiting to die?”

Cultivators are different from mortals, although they can bring a longer life, without the protection of reasonable laws, the weak still have no value in being protected.

In that world, the strong reign supreme, while the weak are mere cannon fodder.

Qianqian blinked: ”But grandpa and grandma are already cultivating?”

Before she left, she had already opened up the meridians for everyone in the Luo Family, activating the first layer.

Although progress might be a bit slow, it was progress nonetheless.

Luo Xinyue frowned: ”How is that possible? If they, then I...”

As she spoke, her eyes suddenly widened, looking at Qianqian in astonishment: ”You, Chaos?”

Although Qianqian didn’t know how Luo Xinyue found out, she still nodded honestly.

This was her father, and her brother was beside her, so there was no need to hide.

Even if she tried to hide it, Tang Tianyi knew, and he would find out sooner or later.

Sitting in shock on the chair, Luo Xinyue couldn’t recover for a long time.

After a long time, she looked at Luo Shufan and then back at Qianqian: ”Then your brother is in your hands, I... support you.”

He had heard about The Eighth Element before, but if it happened to his own daughter, how could he remain calm?

After speaking, he walked into a room, opened the door, entered, and closed the door.

Qianqian, Luo Shufan, and Tang Tianyi exchanged puzzled glances.

”I just have a feeling... something’s unusual there.” Qianqian tilted her head, looking at the closed door.

Luo Xinyue was unusual; it wasn’t the first time she had that feeling.

Yet, the shared bloodline still led her to choose trust.

The bloodline of the Luo Family wouldn’t harm its own, much less her own father.

After all, the Luo Family was different from the Jimo Family.

Tang Tianyi naturally ended up sharing a room with Luo Shufan, as it was a three-bedroom-and-one-living-room apartment.

He dared not provoke either Qianqian or Luo Xinyue.

But... looking at Tang Tianyi sweating painfully in the barrel, why did he find it somewhat amusing? Why was he taking photos nonstop with a camera?

”Brother, why are you sweating like you’re having a sauna?” Qianqian looked puzzled, her face full of confusion.

Clearly, others expelled black substances, yet Luo Shufan... just sweat, non-stop sweating.

The sweat was nearly transparent, even if not fully so.

This baffled her greatly.

Moreover, he navigated through meditation and the engraving of movement circuits effortlessly, completing it within minutes, much more easily than anyone else.

His normally spiky hair was now flattened against his head due to the sweat.

Moreover, Luo Shufan saw five colors, representing Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth.

This greatly surprised Qianqian, for if that was the case, why could Tang Tianyi awaken on his own, but her brother couldn’t?

After they sorted everything out, Luo Xinyue emerged from the room, showing no surprise at their results.

”This is for you.” She casually handed a book to Luo Shufan. Luo Shufan, fresh from a shower, came out in his bathrobe. He was surprised to catch the thrown book, as Qianqian glanced at him in confusion.

”What we discussed tonight, after tonight, don’t bring it up again.”

Luo Xinyue sighed and started narrating past events.

The founder of Blank, known as Zero, chose to leave after Blank was seized by hidden noble clans.

But with all that information, why would those clans let him leave? Thus began a long pursuit.

Luo Xinyue, by chance, saved the old man during a mission, leading to him discovering her spirit root, making her his closed-door disciple.

The elder taught her everything, and upon foreseeing his imminent death, entrusted some items to her, destroyed others, and passed away.

Because of this, subsequent investigations and chases followed.

The Luo Family got implicated, resulting in a feigned betrayal against each other.

Due to an accident, she lost that period’s memories, only recalling the conflict with her family and not being able to return.

By chance, she ended up with An Zilan, leading to the birth of Luo Shufan.

Qianqian was an unexpected arrival; she hadn’t anticipated Qianqian coming into the world.

Later, she recovered her memory after a fall, but circumstances didn’t allow her to stay.

She realized something odd about those around her.

If she didn’t leave, even her wife and children might not survive under the organization.

Leaving, they still had a chance to live.

So she left.

Less than a month later, she ’died’ in an accident.

However, thanks to what Zero left, she managed to stay alive and fled overseas.

Due to her prior tasks, she held more than one identity, facilitating her safe departure without suspicion.

After all, that disaster killed countless people.

Missing persons went far beyond just Luo Xinyue, so no one felt anything amiss.

”What about Uncle...” Qianqian felt astonished. If so, didn’t her uncle ’recognize a foe as his father’?

”Him? He’s crafty, no need for you to worry.”

Upon hearing her daughter mention her brother, Luo Xinyue chuckled, shaking her head helplessly.

”So, what’s the deal with the Cultivation World?” Qianqian still looked full of questions.

”Zero had those things because he was originally from the Cultivation World. Disregarding his clan’s objections, he aimed to change things, but didn’t expect human nature to be unpredictable. His disciple, desiring those prestigious items, betrayed him...”

The undamaged areas of the Cultivation World mostly belong to noble clans and sects with protective barriers or grand formations, allowing them to barely survive amidst the chaos.
