Shuchang, Part I

Shuchang had always considered himself a good for nothing layabout older brother with no talent. His older siblings were all much more powerful than him, having mastered the phoenix cultivation arts much faster and gone much further with them. Meanwhile, his younger sister was a once in a thousand year prodigy. She not only had more phoenix blood than anyone in their family, but she had mastered almost every technique within her current available power, and she was only getting stronger.

He didn’t begrudge his sister. If anything, he was proud of her for being so amazing, but he also wouldn’t lie and say he wasn’t disappointed in himself for not being stronger. His father had designs on Huo Yulie. Shuchang only had a small inkling of what those designs were, but he knew they weren’t good. He had wanted to save his younger sister from whatever fate their father had in store, but he lacked the power to do so.

Then he met Wu Jian.
