Legend of the Heavenly Fruit
Eps. 74 — Searching for Hints
The maiden name that Zhou Yuan shared was Xi Jinxue, originally from the Xi Royal Family and was the younger brother of Xi Yan.
"People assume that the Xi Family only sent my brother to this competition but no one knows that his sister is also coming with him..." Obviously Xi Jinxue was accompanied by a sigh.
Zhou Yuan smiled awkwardly, ever since the two of them began their journey together. Xi Jinxue immediately told his life story when he thought he was still a stranger to the girl.
Zhou Yuan could see that Jinxue was an open person, judging from his telling of stories, not the first time he had told about his life.
Briefly, Xi Jinxue felt jealous of the fate of her brother, Xi Yan, who possessed extraordinary talent. It made him so unnoticed by others even though he was also a talented man even though not as great as his brother.
According to Zhou Yuan as well as that, although Xi Jinxue was currently in the Silver Realm Stage 5 at the age of 16 but in the martial world, it could be categorized as someone who was talented.
"I want to be like my brother from a long time ago, train harder than anyone but how hard I work still I can't catch up to my brother's shadow. He really is a figure that cannot be rivaled by hard work alone..." Xi Jinxue ended the story.
It is true, in the martial world being a swordsman not only relies on hard work but also intelligence, talent and luck.
Although Zhou Yuan never asked about the girl's life but he heard what Xi Jinxue had told him until the end.
This becomes new knowledge for him, how a sister always wants to imitate the steps of her brother even become a reference of his life.
Zhou Yuan glanced at Xi Jinxue, remembering that he was currently also an elder brother of Zhou Yuyin.
Xi Yan's talent was indeed high in the martial world but it was not something surprising to Zhou Yuan.
After seeing Xiao Rou and Yue Linxia, Zhou Yuan was confident Xi Yan's talent would be displaced because he thought the two girls could reach the Golden Realm at around 17 years old.
"Ah, I forgot to ask your identity, what is your name?"
Zhou Yuan's daydream was split by Xi Jinxue's question so suddenly, He coughed softly before mentioning his name.
"Zwu? Ah I know, didn't your family lead the most beautiful city that wasn't, Riva City?" Guess Xi Jinxue.
Zhou Yuan nodded, slightly surprised the atmosphere of the girl instantly changed. Previously he looked sad to tell about his life but now Jinxue's face was filled with an aura of cheerfulness.
"I've always dreamed of stopping by the city of Riva, I heard that the city is like heaven, right? Clean, many trees and leaves are colorful, the inhabitants are friendly. Didn't we?"
Zhou Yuan smiled, as he was about to answer the girl's question his second step had to be stopped when he saw the encampment settlement that Jinxue was referring to.
The camp was quite large, housing dozens of people inside.
"We've reached Brother's camp, come on in, I'll report my previous incident to my brother." Bring Jinxue.
Zhou Yuan complied and followed the footsteps of the girl entering the encampment settlement. While on the way, Zhou Yuan looked around the camp, it seemed that they had lived in this place for quite a long time.
"I didn't expect your brother to have this many groups, wouldn't winning be much easier this way?"
Xi Jinxue smiled faintly in response to him. "Actually the sister group was only 20 people initially, but on the way there were many participants who wanted to join especially after feeling so many demons here. Our numbers have been increasing until now..."
Xi Jinxue explained that the main reason they wanted to join his group was because they wanted to get on good terms with Xi Yan. The participants were well aware of Xi Yan's talent and the future that the young man would achieve let alone his status as part of a great noble.
"Xue'er, where have you been?!"
Before Zhou Yuan and jinxue reached their destination, there was someone shouting at Jinxue. Zhou Yuan turned his head and discovered he was Xi Yan.
"I've been looking all over for you and you've only come back now, do you want to make your brother worry more than this?!" Xi Yan approached Jinxue with a slightly emotional tone.
"Sister, don't be angry, I was in big trouble..." Xi Jinxue directly told about the incident of meeting the two wolves before.
Xi Yan's fading anger was replaced with shock upon hearing this, he did not expect his sister would have any serious problems while collecting twigs.
"If there wasn't any Brother Zhou who saved me back then maybe I wouldn't have come back here..." Jinxue.
Xi Yan's gaze then fell towards Zhou Yuan, finding a 15-year-old man. The man's face was not too foreign to Xi Yan, only seconds later did he realize that the man was the one who was with Linxia before.
"You, ain't..."
"Brother Xi, it's good to see you back..." Zhou Yuan nodded slowly.
Xi Yan nodded but he secretly measured the man's power level.
'I can't feel his level... Did he use any special techniques so that his strength would not be seen by others?' Xi Yan narrowed his eyes as he could not see Zhou Yuan's strength.
Hearing that Zhou Yuan was able to defeat two hundred-year-old demons showed that his abilities were not bad.
Xi Yan himself could defeat demons at a similar age just that it would probably take a considerable amount of time to overcome them.
"Thank you for saving my sister, after the competition is over I will compensate you for the good of your services..."
Although Xi Yan had disliked Zhou Yuan because of the incident with Linxia before but actually he was not a vengeful person for something that was actually trivial.
Xi Yan also had an intelligent mind, although sometimes the man had an arrogant nature or pride in his talent and status.
"Brother Xi, that's not necessary. I did it because of my own initiative, it's fitting that our fellow participants should help each other..."
Xi Yan wanted to respond to him but suddenly another participant came and whispered something into his ear. Xi Yan became startled before he nodded slowly.
"Brother Zhou, I have to take care of my group first. If you want, you can stay here." Without waiting for Zhou Yuan's reply, Xi Yan hurriedly left the two behind.
"It looks like your brother is getting some serious news?" Zhou Yuan glanced at Jinxue.
"Let's know, I heard that right now the Big Brother group has already obtained the place where the Moon Orchid grew up, maybe the news is related to him." Jinxue shrugged her shoulders.
Zhou Yuan raised one of his eyebrows, slightly surprised by the reason he came here regarding wanting to ask Jinxue's group for clues regarding the existence of the Moon Orchid.
