838 14.114 Last Violet Star – (Past) Back to the Lan Zhuayan Sect

Jin Shiyan left the sect with his future brother-in-law and fiance after beating up all the elders who dared to abuse his future wife. Only Bai Lili and Jin Shiyan were lagging behind Bai Wuan when they left even though some servants of Jin Shiyan wanted to come with them. The two of them were escorted by Bai Wuan to the capital, where he allowed them to remain in a sizable mansion that the Emperor had given him as a present.

When they only saw a large house that belonged to a cultivator like Bai Wuan rather than royalty, Jin Shiyan, and Bai Lili were astounded.

“Is this place yours, Dear Elder Brother?” inquired Bai Lili.

Jin Shiyan questioned, “Did you buy this Brother Wuan? This is pretty large, just slightly less than the size of the Imperial Palace.”

Bai Wuan responded, “The Emperor gave this mansion to me and A’Xia as a present or maybe payment for protecting the royal family from a conspiracy by the Xie Clan a few years prior. I, A’Xia, and Senior Brother Wang had assisted them in preventing the Xie Clan from seizing control of the Imperial Family.”

Jin Shiyan replied, “Such a thing happened? That Xie Clan is dedicated to greediness.”

“The Xie Clan was no longer interested in the Capital City after we stopped them at that time, but there are still possibilities of them coming over. Don’t worry I had things prepared. I will place a formation and enchantment around this mansion. You will be safe from harm even against an Immortal as long as you are inside this mansion.” Bai Wuan says, “We will live here for a while. I will rebuild the Bai Lengshui Sect and save Qiqi. So the two of you will stay here until I return.”

Bai Lili and Jin Shiyan were shocked and questioned, “Do immortals truly exist?”

The couple didn’t get the hidden message in Bai Wuan’s significant smile as he said, “Maybe~ they do.”

…..

“Brother Wuan, are you leaving right away?” asked Jin Shiyan.

A few cultivators in their late twenties to early thirties gathered in front of the three of them with a subtle motion from Bai Wuan. They had blue robes on, which reminded me of the Bai Lengshui Sect’s members. While on their quest to find demonic monsters, Bai Wuan and Yun Xiajie gathered these people. In every town or hamlet, he and Yun Xiajie visited, he had recruited some of these people and trained them to be proper cultivators.

Their ages and the fact that they began cultivating later would make it difficult for them to achieve immortality. But it wouldn’t be difficult to become an expert. These guys were his own people, but due to the collapse of the Bai Lengshui Sect, he was forced to leave them to his sister to be entrusted to his younger brother when he assumed leadership of the Bai Lengshui Sect as the new Sect Leader.

“Lili, I will leave them for you to command. The weakest among them is Peak Establishment Foundation and the strongest is Peak Golden Core. They would protect you two while I was gone.” Bai Wuan nods his head. “Only after I place the formation, I will head to the Lan Zhuayun Sect to check on A’Xia. We separated as soon as we learn that the Four Great Sects were attacked.”

Bai Lili said, “Dear Elder Brother, please be careful.”

“Brother Wuan, you can leave Lili to me!” said Jin Shiyan.

Bai Wuan says, “After the problem with Xie Clan is resolved, we should prepare for your wedding.”

Although Bai Lili, his younger sister, and Jin Shiyan, her fiancé, reddened in shame, it was obvious that they were overjoyed in their hearts. After all, Bai Wuan is the senior member of the Bai Family now that the elderly Bai Couple has passed away. He has the power to decide whether his siblings will be married.

Bai Wuan spoke, “Before that… Lili, there is something I need to tell you… Come closer.”

Bai Lili followed instructions and moved a little bit closer to her beloved brother. Jin Shiyan was unable to hear what he was trying to say because Bai Wuan had placed a noise-canceling barrier between the two of them.

Within the boundary…????e??????????o??e??. ??????

Bai Lili was perplexed and inquired, “Dear Elder Brother, what was it you wanted to convey to me?”

“Lili, pay close attention. Everything I say will be genuine; all you have to do is have faith in me.” 𝒷𝒹ℴ𝓿𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂

“I believe you, Dear Elder Brother!”

“You know that I am not your elder brother born from your parents right? That I suddenly appeared in the sect and was picked up by your parents when I was a baby…”

“I know. Mom told us before. That Dear Elder Brother is not Mom and Dad’s son but instead their distant nephew and you are our elder cousin’s brother. But Dear Elder brother is Dear Elder Brother. For me and Erge, you are our elder brother even if we are not related by blood.”

Bai Wuan says, “Who told you we are not related by blood? I am your maternal cousin related to you by the blood of the Xue Family from (Mrs. Bai) Mother’s side. My mother is your mom’s elder sister. So I am indeed your elder brother.”

“Eh? Really?”

“Yes. It is real. Lili, I am from the Heavenly Domain. The upper realm is where Gods and Goddesses live. Uncle Bai and Aunt Xue are also immortals but they live in the mortal world as guardians. The reason they fake their deaths must be because they need to return to the Upper Realm. So they weren’t really dead and at the same time, they did this to prevent getting involved with my trial. I descended in the Mortal Realm to complete my trials as a God,” explained Bai Wuan.

“T-Then… Dear Elder Brother’s real parents are…?”

“The Immortal Emperor and the Immortal Empress.”

The facts Bai Lili had just learned left her speechless. Even just learning that her parents were still alive was startling and that they lived in the Mortal Realm as immortals. She was also taken dumbfounded by the knowledge that her Dear Elder Brother is from the Heavenly Domain.

She had always known that her older brother’s posture and mannerisms were excessively beautiful and graceful, and she assumed that this was because his brother had studied to be one. Who would have thought that he had the noblest blood coursing through his veins? He was born to be immortal! It makes sense that his beauty transcends that of the human race and that at times he appears overpowering since he has always held the highest position since the moment of his birth. He is an Immortal Prince.

Bai Lili suddenly asked, “Dear Elder Brother, what is the content of your trial? Does it involve the Xie Clan?”

“Hm, Yes to some extent. I’m here to prevent a high-ranking demon from causing an invasion of this land,” answered Bai Wuan.

Bai Lili asked, “T-Then… Are you… Going back to the Upper Realm after your trial is completed?”

The moment Bai Wuan noticed a stray hair covering his sister’s face and helped her slip it behind her ears, he remarked, “Yes, Immortals aren’t permitted to become involved with the lives of mortals publicly. It was fate that I returned there.”

“Don’t worry. I wouldn’t go without saying goodbye, and I can come down whenever I want to visit you. In addition, I haven’t left yet. Let’s put this case on hold for now,” said Bai Wuan.

Bai Lili asked, “I understand Dear Elder Brother. When do you think Mom and Dad will return?”

“Maybe after my trials. Once I completed it and ascended, I will ask them to go home as soon as possible. Lili, don’t tell anyone about our immortal bloodline okay? Even to Jin Shiyan,” said Bai Wuan.

Bai Lili promises, “I won’t tell him. I swear.”

Her response pleased Bai Wuan, who then took down the barrier. He gives her a gentle pat on the head, like a kid, and then gets ready to go, concentrating on setting up the defensive line around the mansion.

“Jin Shiyan. What I told you Lili today would be something you will only learn after marrying her. Because by then you had indeed become a part of our family not just by name. Take care of her for me.”

“I promise, Brother Wuan!” said Jin Shiyan.

After assisting Bai Lili and Jin Shiyan in building the structure, Bai Wuan departed and flew in the direction of the Lan Zhuayan Sect, which is situated in the western region. The enemy had undoubtedly discovered the weakest point in the Lan Zhuayan Sect’s protective formation while he was riding on his flying sword and noticed that a portion of the secret mountain range had been burned and charred.

Guarding the gates are wounded disciples who are armed and carrying flares to alert the others if they come under attack once more. They were caught off guard by the Xie Clan’s most recent assault, and the mad Ancestor of the Xie Clan had also come personally. The disciples manning the gates noticed Bai Wuan as soon as he landed in front of them.

“Junior Brother Bai!”

“You had finally arrived. Junior Brother Bai please help us with the injured. Even the Sect Master was badly injured by that madman.”

Bai Wuan patted the shoulders of these crying disciples and gave them a pill each. To instantly cure their wounds.

“Go and report that I have arrived. For now, I will enhance and upgrade the defensive formation around the Sect,” said Bai Wuan.

The disciples gave him a bow and had enough faith in him. He was, after all, the person selected to be the Young Prince Jieye’s Dao Companion. They already consider Bai Wuan to be part of the family and believe that he would never hurt their sect. They felt much better after receiving the pills.

The two disciples received several hundred bottles of high-grade blood coagulation, qi replenishment, and regeneration pills from Bai Wuan.

“Give these pills to those who need them. Don’t hesitate to use everything. I can just make more. How is A’Xia?” asked Bai Wuan

A disciple answered his question, “The Young Prince had taken over the authority of the Sect after the Sect Master had fainted from bad injuries. The great elder is also quite injured but not as bad as the Sect leader, he is supporting the Young Prince with regards to everything in the sect.”

“Should we inform them about your arrival?” asked the other disciple.

Bai Wuan responded, “No need. I will find them later myself. Go and share the pills. I would be enough to upgrade the formation.”

“Yes, Junior Brother Bai!” They took their leave after receiving the orders from Bai Wuan.

Bai Wuan continues to upgrade and maintain the formation that surrounds the Lan Zhuayan Sect. After enhancing the structure, he made sure that not even an immortal could breach the barrier protecting the Lan Zhuayun Sect. He spent hours finishing all that needed to be done.

Within the Lan Zhuayan Sect’s sanctuary…

Yun Xiayu, the Great elder, and the other elders were informed of Bai Wuan’s arrival. However, the majority of them were hurt and unable to greet him in any way.

Yun Xiayu said, “He came over. He must have learned what happened to the Bai Lengshui Sect and found his siblings. Sigh~ what happened to Bai Lengshui Sect was a shock to everyone. It is all that madman’s fault!! Cough!”

“Please calm down! Your internal injuries are bad as it is!”

“I heard A’Wuan was upgrading the formation around the Sect. Sigh~ we can’t thank him enough.”

“Let’s inform Jieye about the child’s arrival.”

“But the Second Young Master had finally just fallen asleep.”

Bai Wuan arrived in the area and heard the conversation between the elders.

He says, “There is no need to wake up. Let him rest, elders. For now, let me treat your injuries.”

“You’re here, A’Wuan,” said the Great Elder, Yun Xiayu.

As usual, Bai Wuan gave the elders a salute and extended a respectful greeting. He then began tending to their injuries. He himself is a Divine Doctor. As long as he feels like it, he can make someone who was standing next to his grave come to life. All of the seniors’ fatal wounds were cured in a matter of hours, and when Bai Wuan was finished with them, there were no wounds to be seen on their bodies. He had given them a variety of medications because most of them were poisoned. The Xie Clan’s main weapon was poison.

“I had removed all the poisons in your bodies. You may now be able to heal yourself with qi and meditation,” said Bai Wuan.

“Thank you, A’Wuan. Your medical skills are indeed topnotch!”

“Finally~ that stifling feeling is gone.”

“I thought I would never be able to feel qi in this life again.”

Bai Wuan said, “Uncle Yun, I would like to see Father Yun.”

“Um. I will go with you. His state is quite weird ever since he had fallen into slumber. He would wake up from time to time and…”

“And?”

“He started acting weird. Sigh~ anyway see for yourself,” said Yun Xiayu.

He took Bai Wuan to the place where his older brother was imprisoned, with the great elder leading the way. He is severely hurt, yet strange things are occurring to him. Bai Wuan was requested by Yun Xiayu to check on the Sect Master and attempt to determine what the problem is.
