With Heaven-Defying Talent, I Actually Became Lu Xueqi

Several days later, in the chat group—

Xiao Yan: “Hahaha, everyone, today’s the day Nalan Yanran comes to break off the engagement. Watch me perform!”

Huang Rong: “Xiao Yan, quick, turn on the livestream function. We want to see you slap Nalan Yanran in the face today!”

Xiong Ba: “Looking forward to it!”

Lu Yu: “+1!”

Lu Xueqi: “+1!”

Xiao Yan: “Alright, everyone, I’m turning on the livestream now.”

Right after, Lu Xueqi saw a giant livestream screen suddenly appear next to the chat group panel.

In the video, a handsome young man was following an old servant with a relaxed expression, heading toward the main hall.

Lu Xueqi immediately understood—this must be Xiao Yan, and the iconic engagement-breakup scene was about to unfold.

The other group members also grew excited, eager to see how Xiao Yan would handle the situation.

Huang Rong: “Little brother Xiao Yan looks quite handsome, doesn’t he?”

Xiong Ba: “Indeed, he looks alright.”

Lu Yu: “Hmph, that’s nothing. Once you all see this young master’s peerless looks, you won’t think Xiao Yan is anything special!”

Lu Xueqi: “Lu Yu, you sound so confident. Do you really think you’re better-looking than Xiao Yan?”

Lu Yu: “Naturally! Just wait, I’ll definitely show you my magnificent face someday!”

Xiao Yan: “Lu Yu, stop bragging. In this life, I can be considered the most handsome youth in Wu Tan City. I dare say, if I’m second, no one dares claim first!”

Lu Yu: “Hmph, that’s limited to your little Wu Tan City!”

Amidst this lively chat, Xiao Yan finally followed the family servant into the main hall.

At this moment, the hall was already filled with many members of the Xiao family.

When Xiao Yan entered, all of them looked over, their gazes revealing undisguised disdain.

After all, Xiao Yan hadn’t revealed his true strength yet. Even during the previous strength test, he only showed a third level of Dou Qi, all in order to dramatically flip the tables today.

As he walked into the hall, Xiao Yan glanced around, yet couldn’t find a place meant for him. A surge of anger immediately welled up in his heart.

He knew his current status was far worse than before, but the deliberate humiliation from the Xiao family elders and clansmen still left him deeply upset.

Just then, a crisp, pleasant voice reached his ears.

“Brother Xiao Yan, over here!”

Xiao Yan quickly turned his head toward the sound.

There sat a stunningly beautiful young girl, her long hair cascading to her waist. Like a green lotus, she sat elegantly on a chair, smiling as she waved to him.

Without hesitation, Xiao Yan walked straight over to Xun’er.

Through the threads of the world, he already knew Xiao Xun’er’s true identity and understood the deep affection she held for him, so of course he wouldn’t reject her kindness.

However, as Xiao Yan approached Xun’er, the younger members of the Xiao family shot him displeased glances, their faces filled with confusion and jealousy.

They truly couldn’t comprehend why a proud daughter of the Xiao clan like Xiao Xun’er would fancy Xiao Yan.

At this moment, Xiao Yan paid them no mind at all—his attention was wholly drawn by the messages in the chat group.

Huang Rong: “This little sister looks so pretty—is that Xun’er?”

Lu Yu: “She really is stunning! With such looks at such a young age, just imagine how breathtaking she’ll be when she’s fully grown. The thought alone is thrilling!”

Xiao Yan: “Hey hey hey, what are you guys thinking? Xun’er is mine!”

Xiong Ba: “Hmph! Xiao Yan, you damn lsp—sneaking into a girl’s room when she was that little, claiming it was to ‘nurture her meridians’—don’t tell me you got bad thoughts just because she looked cute?”

Lu Yu: “That’s definitely a possibility. Xiao Yan, we misjudged you. Who would’ve thought you’re such a sleazebag!”

Xiao Yan: “Don’t talk nonsense! I didn’t do anything! There are two beautiful ladies in this group—what you’re doing is tarnishing my reputation!”

Lu Xueqi: “Xiao Yan, we’re not slandering you. Your motives back then were definitely impure.”

Huang Rong: “Exactly! With your barely awakened Dou Qi, what could you possibly ‘nurture’? You must’ve had other thoughts!”

Xiao Yan: “Sister Xueqi, Sister Huang Rong, don’t say that! I truly had no ill intentions. I just accidentally learned that Xun’er had a chronic condition as a child—she’d suffer terrible pain at night. Seeing that she had no one to rely on in the Xiao family, I stepped in to help her nurture her meridians. Don’t let your thoughts run wild!”

Huang Rong: “Sister Xueqi, do you think we should believe him?”

Lu Xueqi: “Whether you believe him or not, I certainly don’t.”

Xiao Yan: “Damn you, Xiong Ba! You’ve ruined my reputation! I challenge you to a duel!”

Xiong Ba: “Xiao Yan, you’ve gotten cocky! Come on, come on, I’ll let you have three moves!”

Xiao Yan: “Damn it, Xiong Ba, just you wait! When I become strong, I’ll make you pay!”

Xiao Yan knew full well that, with his current strength, he stood no chance against Xiong Ba. But the moment he thought of his future glory as the Flame Emperor, he steeled his resolve. Once he became powerful, he’d make Xiong Ba regret ever mocking him.

Lu Yu: “Alright, enough interruptions—let’s keep watching how this plays out!”

Thanks to Lu Yu’s reminder, everyone stopped teasing.

Back in the livestream, Xiao Yan had already walked over to Xun’er. The two sat closely together, whispering softly to each other.

Lu Yu: “Damn, you two and your public display of affection—I can’t stand it!”

Xiong Ba: “Hahaha! Lu Yu, you need more tempering. A man like me doesn’t get swayed just because a beauty’s nearby. To me, women are tools. A man should focus on his path to dominance!”

Lu Yu: “Xiong Ba, I’m not like you! While I do pursue my ambitions, I also want to find a woman who’ll stay by my side for life.”

Huang Rong: “Xiong Ba really is a once-in-a-generation tyrant—he doesn’t care about women at all. In the Storm file, he even abandoned Yan Ying, the number one beauty under heaven, just like that!”

Huang Rong: “Sister Xueqi, we’d better watch out for Xiong Ba.”

Lu Xueqi: “Don’t worry, Sister Huang Rong. In this life, I seek only the Dao. I have no interest in matters of love and certainly won’t fall for any man.”

Huang Rong: “Really, Sister Xueqi? I actually long for love quite a bit.”
