Han Li looked at Lin Yiyin with surprise, which refreshed his impression of her as a naive and adorable girl.

It seemed that after years of harsh experiences in the Cultivation Realm, Lin Yiyin had grown a lot. Although she still looked cute and naive on the outside, she was clear-headed inside.

“Of course,” Han Li solemnly promised, looking at the stunning sister duo.

“Then we’ll trust you,” Lin Yiyin said with an innocent look that revealed two small dimples on her face.

Glancing at Lin Yiwu, Han Li thought for a moment before saying, “With me, you don’t need to restrain yourself in any way, feel free to ask for anything you need.”

“You’ll find that staying in Han Mansion is a very fortunate thing,” he added.

“I understand,” Lin Yiwu met Han Li’s gaze and nodded.

Since Lin Yiyin had no objections, she had none either. Having been cautious and vigilant during their years on the run, she was tired of it and the idea of having someone to rely on seemed quite nice.

Despite Han Li’s reputation for being a flirt, his reputation was very good, so she wasn’t worried about them being wronged in Han Mansion.

“Then let’s go for a walk, and you can tell me about your past. If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to talk about it,” he suggested.

After that, Han Li walked with Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin in Fragrance Garden, enjoying the scenery and learning about the sisters’ past.

The sisters were born into a powerful cultivation family in Yuanzhou. When they were very young, their family faced a calamitous incident and was annihilated.

The two sisters were saved by several loyal guards and fled all the way to Leizhou to settle down. In the end, only one guard was left, having sacrificed everything else just to steer clear of the enemy’s attempt to utterly eradicate them.

When Lin Yiwu was eighteen and Lin Yiyin was seventeen, the remaining female guard went out to search for cultivation resources and was killed. The enemies even found their residence and intended to disgrace the sisters.

Luckily, Lin Yiwu was smart and sensed the danger early. She took Lin Yiyin and fled, and since then, the two of them had led a difficult and nomadic life.

Being beautiful teenagers who were quite stunning and also sisters, naturally, they drew the covetous gazes of countless men, especially since they possessed low cultivation levels.

But Lin Yiwu resolved all these dangers, protecting her sister through hardships and cultivation. To avoid trouble, they even wore human skin masks, not daring to show their true faces.

Having come this far, Lin Yiyin was previously captured by Cui Pingyu, a Great Master. Their journey was incredibly arduous, but Lin Yiwu casually glossed over these details, not wishing to dwell on them too much.

Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin were both under thirty years of age, and the passing years hadn’t left any marks on their faces; they still looked like young girls in bloom. This was related to their talents.

Lin Yiwu had a fifth-grade aptitude, and Lin Yiyin was slightly lower with a sixth-grade aptitude. Even without joining a Sect, relying on their family’s cultivation techniques, they managed to cultivate to the first layer of the Pihai Realm and the eighth layer of the Innate Realm, respectively.

Of course, this was related to their initial guidance from a late-stage Pihai Realm guard, who continuously provided them with cultivation resources. Without that guard’s help, even with their good talents, their current cultivation levels would have been lower.

The reason they hadn’t joined a major Sect was related to the enemy responsible for their family’s demise.

Yuanzhou was the heart of the Daqian Empire, with the Imperial Capital located there, and it was where the most and the strongest powers of the Qian Dynasty were situated.

The Lin Family in Yuanzhou could only be considered a small clan. They used to have a Hollow Realm Master preside over them, but it had been several hundred years since a Guru in the Void Realm had emerged.

The destruction of the Lin Family was not the work of some great sect but rather the Daqian State Preceptor, specifically his third disciple, Yu Chengkong, a Guru in the Hollow Void Stage.

The beauty of the sisters was matchless and captivating, a trait inherited from their mother who, in her life, was a peerless beauty known far and wide, truly a supremely mature and beautiful woman.

While carrying out his duties, Yu Chengkong happened to pass through the city where the Lin Family resided and caught sight of Mrs. Lin. He was immediately struck by her divine beauty and lusted after her.

After inquiring about Mrs. Lin and learning that she was a married woman, Yu Chengkong grew even more interested and went directly to the Lin Mansion, demanding that the head of the Lin Family hand her over to him as a

concubine, assuring that he would take good care of her.

The head of the Lin Family was immediately enraged; this scoundrel was too outrageous. Naturally, he was unwilling to give away his wife, and he didn’t want to lay eyes on Yu Chengkong ever again, briskly showing him the door.

Yu Chengkong was rebuffed, but he didn’t directly take action. With his strength at the Hollow Void Stage, obliterating the Lin Family would hardly be difficult, but he had some reservations about recklessly triggering the laws of the Daqian Empire.

He kept this incident in mind and returned to the Imperial Capital where he checked the Lin Family’s information and found that they had three Longevity Treasures which could be processed into life-extending elixirs.

The Lin Family had hidden these treasures well. Had Yu Chengkong not spent a great price to obtain detailed information from the Tianji Pavilion, he would never have uncovered this secret.

Yu Chengkong immediately went to his master, the Daqian National Teacher, and reported this news. The National Teacher knew he had ulterior motives but didn’t care; he instructed Yu Chengkong to bring back the three Longevity Treasures, no matter the means.

With the National Teacher’s approval, Yu Chengkong felt emboldened, assembled some men, and immediately set out for the Lin Mansion.

The Lin Family was in the midst of preparing to move away to a distant place to avoid any trouble from Yu Chengkong, but they hadn’t expected him to arrive so soon.

With no more reservations, Yu Chengkong took action, slaughtering the strong members of the Lin Family. The Lin Family had dared to offend him; they were courting death!

Had they handed over Mrs. Lin when he initially visited, he would have looked after the Lin Family. Now, he would only exterminate them before taking away Mrs. Lin and the three Longevity Treasures.

The head of the Lin Family, at the God Refining Realm, wielding an Earth-Level Lower Rank Treasure to fight Yu Chengkong, was no match and could only desperately hold on, buying time for his family to escape.

In the face of certain doom, Mrs. Lin did not run away. Knowing she had brought great misfortune upon the Lin Family, she instructed her guard to take her two daughters and flee, then with a mournful smile, she took her own life.

With Mrs. Lin’s death, the head of the Lin Family fought with reckless abandon, using a life-draining secret technique to boost his power dramatically, and he actually managed to entangle Yu Chengkong.

Yu Chengkong was also furious. He had come for Mrs. Lin and now she was dead, which he greatly regretted. Enraged, he struck the head of the Lin Family with full force, putting him to death.

He then ordered his men to chase down and exterminate the members of the Lin Family, leaving no survivors, while he searched for the three Longevity Treasures.

The Longevity Treasures were of utmost importance; he had to find them and take them back. He could not afford to let the Lin Family members escape with them amidst the chaos, or he would not be able to explain himself upon his return.

If he brought back the Longevity Treasures, with the State Preceptor backing him, obliterating the small Lin Family wouldn’t provoke any harsh reaction from the court. However, if he failed to bring them, he feared for his life and risked being thrown into the dungeon, even if he did not die.

He knew his master’s temperament well. Having used the State Preceptor for his benefits, he wouldn’t receive help if he didn’t bring back what his master desired.

Under Yu Chengkong’s relentless pursuit, nearly all the Lin Family members were wiped out, save for a Pihai Realm female guard who miraculously escaped with the two sisters, hiding in Leizhou without daring to reveal their identities.

When Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin grew up, the female guard repeatedly cautioned them never to reveal their identity, not to think about joining a sect, cultivating to become stronger, and then seeking revenge, as there was no hope in that.

When joining a sect, the sect would investigate the disciples’ backgrounds, with the larger sects placing a great emphasis on this, to avoid infiltration by spies. Only those of clear heritage would be accepted into the sect..
