The sisters have good aptitude, with important cultivation prospects—one may reach the Hollow Void Stage, the other the God Refining Realm—which is very significant for a major sect in a state.

Even a Leizhou Sect like Tianxuan Mountain only has one Guru in the Hollow Void Realm and a few in the God Refining Realm.

Under normal circumstances, with the sisters’ aptitude, sects would definitely compete to take them as disciples and list them for focused cultivation as core disciples.

But the situation of the sisters is abnormal.

Their enemy is the Daqian National Teacher!

The Daqian National Teacher, a late-stage Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, has stood at the pinnacle of the Qian Dynasty for over four hundred years, with a reputation that resounds powerfully, overwhelming authority, and having assisted two generations of Emperor Qian, is one of the true powerholders of the Qian Dynasty.

The Daqian National Teacher, skilled in scheming and ruthless in action, frequently annihilates entire families. Though he has many enemies, he has always firmly stood due to the profound trust of Emperor Qian and his unfathomable strength.

If any sect dares to recruit the enemies of the Daqian National Teacher into their ranks, it won’t be long before it is annihilated—there are precedents for this.

While recruiting the sisters could bring a grandmaster and a real person to the sect in the future, the two women would need over a hundred years to grow. If their identity gets exposed during this period, it could lead to the sect’s destruction.

As for how to make such a choice, the decision-makers of the sects are very clear-headed.

If the sisters attempt to join a sect, there is a high probability that they will be detained and then handed over to the National Teacher’s faction to curry favor with the Daqian National Teacher and receive his rewards.

Let alone ordinary sects, even the Ten Major Sects are extremely cautious of the Daqian National Teacher and dare not provoke him lightly.

The Qian Dynasty has the power to suppress all directions, and no sect dares to rebel—naturally, their strength is far too dominant, and the Ten Major Sects are not on the same level as the Qian Dynasty.

In the eighteen states of the Qian Dynasty, there are six Jiedushi, each a Great Grandmaster; there’s one Head Supervisor and four Grand Internal Supervisors in the Jingye Office tasked with overseeing the land, all Great Grandmasters; four main pillars of the country, two Great Generals, Prince Wu’an, the Grand Tutor, the State Preceptor, the Grand Internal Supervisor, and others are all Great Grandmasters.

The Imperial Astronomer has three Great Grandmasters, and even Emperor Qian is himself a Great Grandmaster; these are just the known figures, how many more are hidden is anyone’s guess.

At least twenty-five known Great Grandmasters on the surface, and there are definitely concealed Great Grandmasters in the shadows, not to mention Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm.

Among the Ten Major Sects, there are only one or two Great Grandmasters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, and no matter how secretly they hide, at most there would be three Great Grandmasters. How could they compare with the Qian Dynasty?

All combined, they do not have as many publicly known Great Grandmasters as the Qian Dynasty!

Only the top-tier forces such as the Kurong Sect, Yinyang Sect, and Da Jing Dynasty among the Eight Great Forces of the Mysterious Region can contend with the Qian Dynasty, and they dare not act rashly.

Their foundations may be stronger than those of the Qian Dynasty, but they are not confident to directly engulf it. Even if they could, it would be a pyrrhic victory, serving as a bridal gown for other forces.

The sisters have also considered leaving the Qian Dynasty for other forces’ territories, but they have many concerns, mainly that their cultivation levels are too low.

Within the Fragrance Garden.

After listening to the sisters’ story, Han Li got momentarily lost in thought.

Returning to his senses, he found the sisters looking at him with eager eyes.

Han Li knew the reason and said with a very solemn tone, “Rest assured, in my care, I will protect you completely.”

As he spoke, Han Li even reached out to ruffle Lin Yiyin’s hair, causing her to roll her eyes. Lin Yiwu also glared at Han Li.

With that, the sisters felt much more at ease. In fact, they weren’t very worried about the Daqian National Teacher. They were negligible to him, and as long as they didn’t publicize it deliberately, the Daqian National Teacher couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

When the Lin Family was annihilated and they fled Yuanzhou, they were only four or five years old. Now they were almost thirty, and their appearances had changed greatly. No one knew their origin, and as long as they didn’t reveal themselves, they wouldn’t provoke the wrath of the Daqian National Teacher.

Now that they reside in the Han Family, with the protective presence of Han Li, a Great Master at the peak of the Gangyuan Realm, sheltering them thoroughly was quite easy. The sisters had been adrift for many years and just wanted to settle down but had never found a reliable person to trust.

The three of them wandered around the Fragrance Garden for a while longer, and it wasn’t until they were about to leave that Han Li said, “I shall make good preparations, and in some time, I’ll come to wed you sisters.”

It was only after Han Li’s figure vanished that Lin Yiyin snapped back to reality, blinking her gem-like eyes in surprise, she coughed and said, “Cough cough- Sister, did I hear that right? He said he would come to wed us in some time?”

She had guessed that her sister had agreed to some conditions with Han Li and even thought that her sister might marry Han Li, but she didn’t expect this.

Lin Yiwu nodded slightly, managing a bitter smile and said, “It’s too late for regrets now. ”

“Regret? Why should we regret?”

“I think it’s quite nice, in this way we sisters can always be together and never part.”

“Sisters should come in pairs, right? This way Han Li will treat us even better in the future.”

Lin Yiyin took her sister’s hand, speaking softly.

In the past, it was always her sister who sacrificed for her, guiding her through cultivation and survival; she was just a little drag. But now, she could also help her sister.

“Mhm-,” Lin Yiyin nodded emphatically.

Fengyang Manor, Fengyang City.

A silver-haired female sword saint and a black-clothed sorceress walked out of Tianji Pavilion, one behind the other, heading toward the inn.

The sword saint had a graceful figure and autumn-water-like eyes, her silver hair danced in the air, unrivaled in her coldness; while the sorceress in leather was curvaceous and seductively enchanting, her black hair fluttering.

These two people were none other than Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi.

Several months ago, the two met while tracking down clues, entangled in a skirmish, and then parted ways again.

To obstruct Yun Miaoyi, Jiang Baiye secretly passed on information about her to Tianxuan Mountain, which indeed caused Yun Miaoyi a lot of trouble.

Tianxuan Mountain originally had a prodigious disciple, Jiang Cheng, with sixth-grade aptitude. He was a key nurturing target, and if nothing unexpected happened, it was almost certain he would reach the God Refining Realm. If Tianxuan Mountain was willing to incur a great cost, or if Jiang Cheng encountered some incredible fortune outside, he even had the chance to ascend to the level of a Guru in the Hollow Void Stage.

However, this genius disciple of Tianxuan Mountain who ranked among the top three met with ruin at the hands of a Hehuan Sect enchantress, squandering a century of potential, and to this day, is still trapped at the peak of the Pihai Realm.

Under normal cultivation, Jiang Cheng should have at least been at the peak of the Gangyuan Realm by now, or even ascended to be a true person in the God Refining Realm.

The very same Hehuan Sect enchantress that ruined Jiang Cheng was Yun Miaoyi, who had played him for a fool. He was utterly infatuated with her, deeply ensnared by love, yet he had never laid a finger on her.

Yun Miaoyi harbored great ambitions, and even though she was part of the Hehuan Sect, known for dual cultivation and harvesting energy from others, she kept herself chaste and never dared to lose her virginity.

She aimed to rise above the Hehuan Sect and join the Yinyang Sect, whose main cultivation technique required one to remain a virgin until the God Refining Realm; the Hehuan Sect was a branch that had strayed from the right path.

After retrieving the love seed from Jiang Cheng, Yun Miaoyi’s power surged, enabling her to break through directly to the Gangyuan Realm; with the credit of ruining Tianxuan Mountain’s prodigious disciple, the Hehuan Sect granted her a generous reward.

After putting forth all her efforts, Yun Miaoyi finally managed to ascend to the Yinyang Sect and after many years of cultivation, broke through to become a true person in the God Refining Realm.

Tianxuan Mountain had always wanted to cause trouble for Yun Miaoyi, but after ruining Jiang Cheng, she stayed put in the Hehuan Sect and then ran off to the Yinyang Sect, without returning, thus eluding them.

Upon receiving the news, Jiang Cheng’s master, a late-stage real person in the

God Refining Realm, took up his sword and charged forth, scouring Fengyang Manor for Yun Miaoyi’s traces. He cornered her several times, inflicting severe injuries, but in the end, she still managed to escape..
