The Rise of Purple Phoenix

After meeting Lloyd and Alder left together.

Alder looked at his son and asked, "how did you get this strong this fast?"

Lloyd already thought of a lie beforehand. He can't say that the original Lloyd is dead and he occupied the body. He also has a cheat called system.

"during my training, I found a red colored fruit. When I picked it, I felt my bloodline's excitement. So, I ate it. After that I started to break through easily" Lloyd said while acting like he was thinking and explaining like he really did it.

During his time in the library, he knows that there is a fruit called blood fruit. It is red in color and when a bloodline user touches it, he can feel his bloodline's excitement. After eating, one's bloodline can be purified. It is regarded as a treasure for bloodline cultivators. It can help to break the shackles of the bloodline.

"Blood fruit," Alder said in astonishment. He felt that his son was lucky to find blood fruit. Even if one searches for many lifetimes, one may never find it.

"Lloyd, keep the matter about blood fruit, a secret" Alder said seriously.

Alder knows that if old bloodline monsters found about his son eating blood fruit. They may come out of their close cultivation and capture his son to refine and extract blood fruit from his body.

"yes, father" Lloyd nodded. He also knows the dangers of eating blood fruit. If he had any other options. He could have said that. But only blood fruit may help him improve as fast as he improved. So, he told his father that he ate blood fruit.

As they walked, Lloyd reached his parent's home.

After entering, he couldn't find his mother. Only he saw his brother sitting on the lawn.

"where's mother?" he asked his father.

"she left for her parent's house saying, 'now Lloyd also awaken fire phoenix bloodline. I will not lose to you. I will train Leland even stronger than you'. "Alder said while sighing.

Hearing his mother left for ice phoenix clan to train his brother Leland, Lloyd little sad inside missing his mother.

Just then he noticed Derek still sitting on the lawn while looking at the clouds. Derek didn't even notice, they entered the house.

As an origin 7th stage cultivators, his senses should be accurate to sense minute changes with 100 meters from him. But he was still lost in thought.

Lloyd looked at his father for an explanation, but alder didn't say anything.

Lloyd went towards his brother and stood in front of him and asked, "brother, what are you thinking about?"

Hearing his name called. Derek looked towards Lloyd and said, "you came"

Lloyd saw Derek stood up and came towards him with a weird expression.

Derek got hold of Lloyd's should and tried to kiss him.

Seeing Derek trying to kiss, a shiver ran through his spine. His fist moved involuntarily and punched Derek in his face to push him off.

Derek flew and crashed into the ground. He slowly got off the ground and looked around. He only saw Lloyd and Alder.

"where's Kalea?" Derek asked in confusion.

Lloyd knows that Kalea is Derek's fiancée form Lefea clan.

"she's not here," Lloyd said and confusion. At first, his brother tried to kiss him and without explaining why. He is asking about his future wife.

"but just now, I saw her before me. I tried to kiss her but she punched me and now she's gone" Derek said while still looking around.

"YOU!!" Lloyd couldn't believe that his brother. He said loudly, "that was me, you tried to kiss me and now telling me that you saw me as Kalea"

"this" Derek looked towards Lloyd who was angry and turn towards his father for confirmation.

Seeing his father nodding at him, Derek came to know that he almost kissed his brother.

"sorry" Derek apologized to Lloyd.

Lloyd finally calmed down and said, "it's okay. But you can't continue like this. If you really want to see her then go for it"

"I really want to see her but I don't know how," Derek said while looking sad.

Seeing his son like that, Alder saw his younger self in Derek When he was in love with his wife. But then their family were enemies and couldn't meet her.

Alder turned towards Derek and said, "Lafea clan is coming for auction in the capital. I also got news that Kalea is also coming. Derek, go as the representative of the clan and try to meet her"

Hearing his father, Derek's mood got brighter. There is even a large smile on his face.

"Lloyd, you also go with Derek and look after him. We don't want Derek kissing strangers" Alder said while looking at Lloyd.

"yes, father" Lloyd agreed.
