"They are not my blood-related brothers..."
""Whaaat?!!""
This time even Rong Yuan couldn't hide the shock on his face.
After confirming Xu Luli said the truth from the system Rong Yuan started to think.
"Ok, can you explain what you said more specifically?" Rong Yuan asked Xu Luli.
"Yes, I can. I was an orphan before and lived in an orphanage in another city. One day, the orphanage was attacked and many children were kidnapped, including me. But fortunately, my brother appeared at that time, he saved us from the bandits. He was at the 4th level of the Spirit Body Stage while the bandits were only mortals without cultivation, so we were, the children. Amidts chaos he fought with the bandits, and then that nightmare happened."
"Continue..."
"One of the bandits tried to take me as a hostage and came toward me... But realizing the bandit's intention he came to my rescue, seeing that bandit tried to attack me with his sword therefore he protected me with his body which caused him to receive a lifetime injury. He received the scar on his face at that time."
"Urghh... I didn't know about that..." Huan commented with a sad voice.
"After that incident, the orphanage was destroyed and only some children were left. Our orphanage lady also died, then he took care of us alone by himself... We were only 9 years old at that time... And he was 11 years old, but he was so mature like an adult as he took care of us alone... After one year we were able to cultivate and he helped some of the children to find a home... Only me and Xu Bao were left and we came to this city last year... He tried to enter the sect so we could live well... And that is how we became brothers and sisters... That's why I don't believe he did this to Huan... And he was the one who followed after Huan too at that time..."
Xu Luli ended her story with a sad and melancholic voice.
"Hmmm... You had a hard life..." Rong Yuan told her, he was truly surprised after hearing her backstory and even the system confirmed all that she said was the truth.
"Yes, sister... I'm regretting my fight with him now..."
Huan also consoled her with his words.
"Ok, I have heard everything from you two. The only thing left now is to meet with your brother. What is his name?"
"His name is Su Xue."
"Ok, we will meet with him tomorrow. Now you have to go to the Resources Hall and there you will meet with the rest of the accepted disciples. Huan you may be my disciple but you have to study with others, but of course, I will also teach you personally. But it might take a little time before our personal peak is built. And I need to have at least three disciples..."
"Yes. I understand your orders master."
"Thanks again, Elder Yuan!"
"Good, now go."
After Rong Yuan's instructions both Huan and Xu Luli left to search the Resources Hall. But the thing Rong Yuan forgot to mention was where the Resources Hall was in this large Sect.
"System, I already found a clue so the quest must have been completed. The clue is Su Xue and tomorrow the whole mystery will be cleared."
[Why do you think so?]
"Why would he follow after someone he didn't know about, sounds suspicious right? He must have done it with someone's orders."
[Oh, you are right, host!]
Suddenly notification sound with a system window appeared in front of Rong Yuan.

"Urghh... That traitor... I will show him hell after I found him..."
[Let's forget about it for now host.]

A blue bracelet appeared on Rong Yuan's hands after he pressed its icon of it in the system. Then he pressed the bracelet's surface with his finger.
[Ding!]
A new system window appeared before his eyes.

"OOOH! This is wonderful, I can see information about my disciples and check whether he is loyal or not!"
"This thing is worthwhile as Death Quest's difficulty is high."
[What did I say, host!]
"Hahaha, you were right, knowing about loyalty saves me from potential threats."
"Huan's loyalty at Level 5, so I don't need to worry and he is a good child."
[You are only 18 too, host...]
"Yes but not in the mind."
[I already knew you would say this.]
"...Ok. Let's see about the "Truth Sensing Pill", I have never heard about this pill before in my both life. Everyone knows about the "Spirit Foundation Pill" well, let's see them both..."
