Young Master in Flower City

Once on Earth, he heard Li Tian say that Divine Separation is but Residual Spirit. The more strands of Residual Spirit, the more monstrous the talent. For Xiao Tianyu, this is a new Martial Arts Domain, and he is even quite looking forward to it in his heart.

Even though, the Residual Spirit is painful, as if walking out of Hell.

As for Hong Yuan, these days were not as leisurely as Xiao Tianyu. He is good at making friends and got to know many people, probably because his parents died early, so he developed this instinct, right?

Bang bang~

At this time, there was a sudden knocking sound at Xiao Tianyu’s room. Sitting on the bed, Xiao Tianyu opened his clear eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Come in!"

The door opened, and Hong Yiyi walked into the room, seeing Xiao Tianyu sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating, she spoke: "Have I disturbed brother Xiao’s cultivation?"

"No!" Xiao Tianyu replied with a gentle smile.

After getting familiar over the past few days, Hong Yiyi no longer felt awkward with Xiao Tianyu, and the barriers were gone. She came to the bedside, draped her jade arm over Xiao Tianyu’s shoulder, and Xiao Tianyu could subtly feel the softness from Hong Yiyi’s chest, which made Xiao Tianyu a bit speechless.

Hong Yiyi didn’t think much of it. After all, she is just sixteen years old. In her heart, Xiao Tianyu has already become a big brother figure, and these days, Hong Yiyi has become much more cheerful, seeming to have forgotten any injustice she felt from the Heavenly Dao.

Of course, much credit goes to Xiao Tianyu because every time Hong Yiyi visited, Xiao Tianyu spoke about many profound truths and also shared his own background with her.

Especially after hearing that Xiao Tianyu was expelled from his family at eight years old, and his parents said he was their greatest failure, Hong Yiyi felt that in comparison, her experiences seemed rather fortunate.

At least now, Hong Yiyi still has a brother who loves her.

And she hadn’t been abandoned by her parents, only lost them to death.

While Xiao Tianyu was abandoned at eight, left to wander the streets like a rat.

Hong Yiyi blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Has anyone told you you’re handsome?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tianyu blinked his eyes and replied earnestly, "I’m used to it!"

She giggled~

Hong Yiyi laughed charmingly: "Brother Xiao, you’re so narcissistic!"

"Am I?"

"It’s written all over your face!" Hong Yiyi cast a sidelong glance at Xiao Tianyu and continued, "By the way, that world you come from, is it beautiful?"

After speaking, Hong Yiyi’s beautiful eyes flickered, showing a hint of expectancy.

Xiao Tianyu shrugged his shoulders, "If there’s time, I’ll take you to see it!"

"Okay!" Hong Yiyi nodded, becoming excited, but then, remembering her three-year lifespan, lowered her head: "Will I still have the chance to see Brother Xiao’s hometown?"

"Silly sister, you will!" Xiao Tianyu gently rubbed Hong Yiyi’s small head, smiling: "Rest assured, Brother Xiao will not let you die so easily!"

"Yes!" Hong Yiyi nodded emphatically, although she knew this was wishful thinking, she still showed a hint of hopeful expectation.

At this moment, a voice came from the doorway: "Yiyi, are you disturbing your Brother Xiao’s cultivation again!"

"Am not!" Hong Yiyi cast a glance at Hong Yuan and continued: "Brother Xiao said I wasn’t disturbing him, right!"

"That’s because Brother Xiao doesn’t want you to be unhappy, understand?" Hong Yuan stepped into the room, and Hong Yiyi pouted with a hint of grievance. Hong Yuan ignored this and looked at Xiao Tianyu, saying: "Brother Xiao, these days the White Jade Tower is extremely crowded. Countless young talents from the outside world are coming to join the Fang Family, five of whom are listed among the elites, and many newcomers are here too, including the Demon Sword Zhan Tian!"

"Demon Sword Zhan Tian?" Hong Yiyi showed a hint of admiration in her eyes; seeing the brother and sister’s eyes gleaming, Xiao Tianyu asked: "Is this Demon Sword Zhan Tian really outstanding?"

"Of course!" Hong Yiyi exclaimed: "He is a Sword Demon disciple, a rising star, who recently broke through the Divine Level Ninth Layer. His talent is extraordinary. If not for the fact that he only reached the Divine Level Eighth Layer during the last Wind and Cloud Banquet, he would surely have taken a place in the top ten!"

"Now that this Demon Sword Zhan Tian has broken through to the Divine Level Ninth Layer, he is sure to shine brightly at this Wind and Cloud Banquet, and may even make it into the top three. Moreover, Demon Sword declared that he is here for the top three!"

"Just this declaration alone has made the Fang Family extremely attentive!"

As Hong Yiyi and Hong Yuan spoke one after another, Xiao Tianyu glanced outside the door; Wind and Cloud Banquet was indeed the first step he made in the Firmament World.

"By the way!" Hong Yuan spoke up: "I’ve sorted things out with the Fang Family, but before we report, they need to know our cultivation level. Brother Xiao, how’s your cultivation?"

"Divine Level Seventh Layer!" Xiao Tianyu said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Hong Yuan was stunned, clearly very surprised by Xiao Tianyu’s cultivation and never expected him to participate in the Wind and Cloud Banquet with a Divine Level Seventh Layer, which is undoubtedly an impossible task.

Although those with unparalleled talent can defy expectations, such individuals are rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, not easily encountered. Therefore, Hong Yuan didn’t believe that Xiao Tianyu’s current cultivation could stand out even if Xiao Tianyu had an extraordinary aura.

Hong Yiyi was also surprised; these days, she had asked him everything but never asked about Xiao Tianyu’s cultivation, as she assumed anyone daring to enter the Wind and Cloud Banquet would be at the Divine Level Ninth Layer. Thus, she always thought Xiao Tianyu was Divine Level Ninth Layer.

But to her surprise, today Xiao Tianyu said he was only Divine Level Seventh Layer.

So, Hong Yiyi couldn’t help but ask, "Brother Xiao, your cultivation..."

"Isn’t it possible to participate?" Xiao Tianyu frowned slightly.

"Not exactly!" Hong Yuan interjected, speaking: "The Wind and Cloud Banquet is organized by the City Lord to give the younger generation of Ice Sea City a chance to compete, so, over the years, those who participate in the Wind and Cloud Banquet are at the Divine Level Ninth Layer, but a Divine Level Seventh Layer attending is unprecedented. Of course, it’s not impossible, just likely going to face certain doom..."

"Big brother, how could you say that!" Hong Yiyi interrupted.

"It’s okay!" Xiao Tianyu gestured with his hand, smiling at Hong Yiyi: "Brother Hong is doing it for my own good; no need to be like this!"

After saying this, Xiao Tianyu looked at Hong Yuan and continued: "Brother Hong, go ahead and report!"

"Brother Xiao, really planning to participate?"

"Yes!"

"Alright!" Hong Yuan showed a helpless expression. Since Xiao Tianyu had decided, he could not force it, and Hong Yiyi suggested with her sparkling eyes: "How about delaying it by two sessions, Brother Xiao? I’m sure after two sessions, Brother Xiao will surely be at the Divine Level Ninth Layer, and by then, wouldn’t it be more certain?"

With each session lasting three years, delaying two sessions means six years.

Xiao Tianyu could wait, but could Hong Yiyi afford to wait? She only had three years of life left.

Although Xiao Tianyu might not have had much connection with the Hong siblings, or whether Hong Yiyi lived or died wasn’t directly related to Xiao Tianyu, but after these days of interaction, where Hong Yiyi called him Brother Xiao time and again, could Xiao Tianyu just watch her die before his eyes?
