Chapter 41: Origins
Han Li glanced at Lin Yiyin in surprise, refreshing his impression of her as silly and cute.
It seemed that after experiencing years of cultivation in the cultivation world, Lin Yiyin had also grown a lot. Although she still looked cute and silly on the outside, her inner thoughts were clear.
"Of course," Han Li said.
Looking at the peerless sisters, Han Li made a solemn promise.
"Then we'll trust you," Lin Yiyin said with a playful smile, revealing two dimples on her face.
Han Li looked at Lin Yiwu and thought for a moment before saying, "You don't have to hold back anything with me. You can say whatever you need."
"In the future, you will find that staying in the Han Residence is a very fortunate thing," Han Li said.
"I understand," Lin Yiwu and Han Li exchanged a glance and nodded.
Since Lin Yiyin had no objections, she didn't have any either. After wandering outside for these years, always being cautious, she had long been tired. It was good to have someone to rely on.
Although Han Li was flirtatious, his reputation was good, so she didn't have to worry about them being mistreated in the Han Residence.
"Let's take a walk and tell me about your past. If it's not convenient, you don't have to," Han Li suggested.
Afterwards, Han Li walked with Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin in the Fragrant Garden, enjoying the scenery and learning about the sisters' past.
The sisters were originally from a powerful cultivation family in Yuanzhou. When they were very young, their family suffered a sudden disaster and was annihilated.
The two sisters were saved by a few loyal guards and fled all the way to Leizhou. In the end, only one guard remained alive, but he was killed to prevent the enemy from finding them.
When Lin Yiwu was eighteen and Lin Yiyin was seventeen, the remaining female guard went out to find cultivation resources and was killed. The enemy also found their hiding place and wanted to take advantage of the sisters.
Fortunately, Lin Yiwu was clever and sensed something was wrong, so she took Lin Yiyin and escaped. Since then, the two sisters have lived a difficult and wandering life.
As young girls in their prime, they were beautiful and attracted the attention of countless men. But Lin Yiwu resolved all these issues, taking care of her sister and surviving through cultivation. For this, she even wore a human skin mask and didn't dare to show her true face, so as not to attract trouble.
They have come a long way, and Lin Yiyin was even taken away by a powerful cultivator named Cui Ping before. It was undoubtedly very difficult, but Lin Yiwu casually skipped over this part and didn't want to mention it too much.
Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin are now both under thirty years old, and time has not left any traces on their faces. They still look like young girls, which is related to their aptitude.
Lin Yiwu has a fifth-grade aptitude, while Lin Yiyin is slightly lower with a sixth-grade aptitude. Even without joining a major sect, they have cultivated to the first level of the Sea Opening Realm and the eighth level of the Innate Realm through the cultivation techniques of their family.
Of course, this is also related to the guidance of a late-stage Sea Opening Realm guard in the early stages. If it weren't for that guard constantly providing cultivation resources to the two sisters, even with their good aptitude, their current cultivation level would be lower.
As for why they didn't join a major sect, it was related to the enemy that wiped out their family.
Yuanzhou is the center of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the imperial capital of the Great Qian Dynasty is located here. It is also where the most powerful forces of the Great Qian Dynasty are located.
The Lin family in Yuanzhou can only be considered a small family. They used to have a Grandmaster of the Empty Void Realm, but it has been hundreds of years since they disappeared, and there hasn't been another Empty Void Realm Grandmaster since then.
It was not a major sect that destroyed the Lin family, but the Grand Qian National Teacher, specifically his third disciple Yu Chengkong, who is a master of the Empty Void Realm.
The sisters' stunning beauty is also inherited from their mother, who was known as a beauty of the nation during her lifetime. She was a mature and beautiful woman, renowned for her exceptional looks.
While on a mission, Yu Chengkong happened to pass by the city where the Lin family resided and was instantly captivated by Mrs. Lin's beauty.
After inquiring about Mrs. Lin's situation and learning that she was a married woman, Yu Chengkong became even more interested. He went directly to the Lin family and demanded that the family head give Mrs. Lin to him as a concubine, promising to take good care of her.
The family head of the Lin family was furious and refused to give away his wife. He did not want to see Yu Chengkong again and promptly expelled him.
If it weren't for Yu Chengkong's background and cultivation level, the family head would have wanted to kill him on the spot.
Although Yu Chengkong was rejected, he did not immediately take action. With his strength in the Empty Void Realm, it would be easy for him to annihilate the Lin family. However, he had some concerns and did not dare to easily trigger the laws of the Grand Qian.
Keeping this matter in mind, Yu Chengkong immediately returned to the imperial capital and investigated the Lin family. He discovered that the Lin family possessed three precious medicinal herbs that could be used to refine longevity pills.
The Lin family had hidden these three medicinal herbs very well. If Yu Chengkong had not spent a great price to purchase detailed information from the Heavenly Tower, he would never have known about this secret.
Yu Chengkong immediately found his master, the Grand Qian National Teacher, and reported this news. The National Teacher knew that he had ulterior motives, but he didn't mind. He ordered Yu Chengkong to bring back the three medicinal herbs by any means necessary.
With the approval of his master, Yu Chengkong gained confidence. He gathered a group of people and rushed to the Lin family.
At this time, the Lin family was preparing to relocate and escape to another place to avoid Yu Chengkong's attack. However, they did not expect him to arrive so quickly.
Without any scruples, Yu Chengkong directly attacked, slaughtering the strong members of the Lin family. The Lin family had dared to offend him, and this was seeking death!
When he had visited earlier, all he needed was for Mrs. Lin to be given to him, and he would have taken care of the Lin family. But now, he would only destroy the Lin family and then take Mrs. Lin and the three longevity herbs with him.
The Lin family head, who was at the Soul Refining Realm, fought against Yu Chengkong with an Earth Grade lower-ranked treasure. However, he was no match for him and could only struggle to buy time for the family members to escape.
In a desperate situation, Mrs. Lin did not run away. She knew that she had brought disaster to the Lin family and had the guards take her two daughters to escape. Then, with a sorrowful smile, she committed suicide.
With Mrs. Lin dead, the Lin family head fought desperately. After using a secret technique that consumed his lifespan, his aura soared and he managed to entangle Yu Chengkong.
Yu Chengkong was also angry. He had come for Mrs. Lin, but now that she was dead, he felt regretful. He struck the Lin family head with anger and killed him.
Then, he ordered his subordinates to chase and kill the remaining members of the Lin family, ensuring that no one was left alive. He himself went to search for the three longevity herbs.
The longevity herbs were extremely important, and he had to find them and bring them back. He couldn't let the Lin family members take advantage of the chaos and escape, otherwise, he would have trouble explaining when he returned.
If he brought back the longevity herbs with the support of the National Teacher, destroying a small Lin family would not be a problem for the court. But if he failed to bring them back, his life would be in danger. Even if he didn't die, he would be thrown into the heavenly prison.
He understood his master's temperament well. He had used his master but failed to bring back what his master wanted. His master would not stand up for him.
Under Yu Chengkong's pursuit, the members of the Lin family were almost wiped out, except for a female guard at the Sea Opening Realm who managed to escape with her two sisters and hide in Leizhou, not daring to reveal their identities.
When Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin grew up, the female guard repeatedly warned them not to reveal their identities and not to think about joining a sect, cultivating to become stronger, and seeking revenge. There was no hope in that.
When joining a sect, the sect would investigate the background of disciples, especially the larger sects. They would be cautious to prevent infiltrators. Only those with a clean background would be accepted into the sect.
