Fu Lizhi's lips curled up. "Achi, when did you learn to flatter people?"
"My sister knows best that I don't like to lie, so what I'm saying is clearly the truth." Fu Chishang's voice had a slightly coquettish tone.
"Sister, did anything interesting happen to you during your tribulation?" Fu Chishang asked casually.
Sometimes, when the gods encounter bottlenecks in their cultivation, they travel to lower-level continents to undergo tribulations in order to gain new insights and break through these bottlenecks.
Those who undergo tribulation will have their memories and strength erased when they go to undergo tribulation, but upon returning, their memories will be fully restored, and they will remember everything that happened during the tribulation.
"So interested in my tribulation?" Fu Lizhi didn't suspect anything and told him everything that happened during her tribulation.
After all, there was nothing to hide, especially since the person she was telling was her beloved younger brother.
"Actually, nothing very interesting happened. I was undergoing a tribulation on a low-level continent called the Secular Continent, as a chivalrous female knight-errant."
"While training on the mainland, he fought against evil and righted wrongs. Later, he offended someone and was killed by an assassin. Then he returned after his ordeal ended."
“That’s all.” Fu Chishang said.
Fu Lizhi nodded.
"What about Sister's Life Pearl?"
The Life-Giving Pearl is a magical artifact that my elder sister crafted in the past. Although it is not primarily for combat, the Life-Giving Pearl contains spiritual energy and vitality, and can nurture souls without anyone noticing.
“When I was undergoing my tribulation, I wore the Life-Giving Pearl on my body. Since I returned from my tribulation, the Life-Giving Pearl has disappeared. Perhaps it was lost during the tribulation,” Fu Lizhi replied.
Looking at her sister, whose expression was calm as always, Fu Chishang hesitated, unsure whether she should mention Ruan Xiyan.
Judging from her appearance, she seemed completely unaware of Ruan Xiyan's existence.
But the little girl looked so much like his older sister, and she came from the secular continent, so he always felt that things were not so simple.
Moreover, although everything about the tribulation that his elder sister described seemed perfect and without any suspicious aspects, his intuition told him that this was not the case, and that something must have gone wrong somewhere.
However, his sister is living a very happy life now, and he doesn't know what the consequences will be after he speaks out, or whether he might unintentionally hurt her.
He felt that someone was manipulating things behind the scenes, and that person must be of extremely high status to be able to do something like this.
Does he intend to disrupt his sister's current peace and tranquility?
"What's wrong? Achi, you look preoccupied. You can tell your older sister what's wrong, and I'll help you."
Fu Lizhi noticed that something was wrong with Fu Chishang, and gently stroked his head, just like she did when they were children.
Fu Chishang smiled and said, "Sister, I'm fine. I was just thinking about when I can be as powerful as you and protect you."
After careful consideration, he decided to remain silent for the time being and not to act rashly.
He had to investigate the whole story thoroughly; otherwise, telling his sister about this nonsensical matter would only cause her unnecessary trouble.
“Our Achi has grown up. He’s not the stubborn crybaby who used to follow me around when he was little anymore.” Fu Lizhi said with a mix of emotion and relief.
"Ah Chi, you've been talking about me all this time. How about you? How have your travels been?"
"Sister, everything is fine with me."
“If you don’t want to wander outside anymore, you can come back anytime. Although you hate the gods, this place will always be your home,” Fu Lizhi said gently.
“Okay, sister,” Fu Chishang replied with a smile.
After staying in Fu Lizhi's palace for a while, Fu Chishang took his leave.
There are still many things he needs to do on the cultivation continent. Now that the identity of that little girl named Ruan Xiyan is still unknown, he must do everything he can to protect her.
He didn't get any accurate information from his older sister, but he just felt a connection with that little girl; she was his sister's daughter, and also his niece, even though this feeling came about inexplicably...
The Thunder Listening Spring Gathering arrived as scheduled, and many forces followed the disciples who were leading the way to the Twilight Thunder Sect.
The Illusionary Hidden Sect was also among them. Ruan Xiyan walked on the road of the Twilight Thunder Sect, looking around at the surroundings of the Twilight Thunder Sect.
"Ah Yu, can you sense the aura of the Corpse Demon King?" Ruan Xiyan asked in a low voice.
Jun Yu shook his head. "His aura is very well concealed."
"It seems that Lin Zhou, the sect leader of the Twilight Thunder Sect, is quite cautious in his actions," Ruan Xiyan murmured.
Behind the Twilight Thunder Sect, a stream rushing down from the mountain converges at the foot of the mountain to form a spring, with mist swirling above it.
A banquet has been prepared facing the spring.
The arriving forces took their seats. Apart from the Twilight Thunder Sect, which sat in the main seat as the host, the other four top forces sat in the leading positions, equally matched.
Ruan Xiyan chose an inconspicuous spot to sit down.
Although they are inconspicuous, given the current reputation of the Illusionary Concealment Sect, they are the center of attention wherever they sit.
Since there's no way to avoid it, let's face it head-on.
This year's Thunder Listening Spring Gathering is probably the most lively in recent years. In the past, the Thunder Listening Spring Gathering was only attended by top-tier forces, and even then, not all of them could attend.
The top powers have all gathered here this time, and even the Weapon Burning Sect, which has been living in seclusion for many years, has made an appearance. It's truly rare.
All the factions were already seated, waiting for the arrival of the Twilight Thunder Sect's sect leader.
Just as Jiang Lin was about to pick up his chopsticks to eat, Luo Wanyin stopped him.
"We don't know what's going on yet, so it's best not to touch the food here," Luo Wanyin advised. "Besides, didn't you just finish eating when you came?"
Jiang Lin rubbed his stomach. "Elder Luo, I did eat before coming, but I'm still growing, and I'll get hungry if I don't eat soon."
Jiang Lin looked at Luo Wanyin with a pitiful expression.
Luo Wanyin rolled her eyes speechlessly. They were clearly the same age as her, yet they had the nerve to act like children here.
Seeing Jiang Lin's shameless behavior, Luo Wanyin shook her head, then took out a few tangerines and handed them to him, "Have this to tide you over for now, and we'll eat something better after the Thunder Listening Spring event is over."
"Thank you, Elder Luo." Jiang Lin happily accepted the tangerine from Luo Wanyin's hand.
Jiang Wubai, who had been watching Jiang Lin closely, sighed as he saw this scene. This gluttonous boy was not only greedy, but also very disobedient.
Today is an important gathering at Ting Lei Quan, and he wanted him to stay by his side so that he could protect him in case anything happened. But the brat refused outright.
He insisted on following the Illusionary Concealment Sect's group, even claiming that he was a member of the sect and needed to support them.
