My Senior Brother Takes Me Flying to Immortal Ascension

[Two male leads * cultivation * good-for-nothing * underdog comeback * no female lead]

"Lian Yiran! You little brat, slacking off again!"

What's going on?

I hunched my shoulders and hurriedly stuffed the Annals of Shaoxing Prefecture into the drawer. As soon as I straightened up, I got smacked on the back of the head.

I'm Lian Yiran, the young shopkeeper of Yongxing Pawnshop. The one hitting me is my aunt. The pawnshop used to be pretty big, too. As for why it keeps getting smaller... I'll tell you another time.

The woman standing before me is in her early thirties, wearing a blue cotton robe and clutching a feather duster.

She points it at my nose. "Your parents entrusted you to me. They didn't do it so you could live like a young master! Your aunt here! I've put my own life on hold for you!"

Parents? I've never even seen them. The neighbors say they died long ago. Others say they went off to cultivate immortality and became celestial beings.
