"Why not? Didn't you go to the sect with Brother Tian? Yu Rou raised her eyebrows.

"Xiao Hua followed Brother Tian wherever he went," he quickly nodded.

"How will you follow my brother into the sect if you are not a disciple?" Yu Rou asked.

“Xiao Hua can follow Brother Tian as a servant because disciples are allowed to have servants with them,” he replied.

“S-Service?” Yu Rou looked at him with wide eyes. However, while Xiao Hua called herself a servant, Yu Rou did not think of the ‘ pet’ system and took her words literally as a servant like a servant in their Yu Family household.

“By the way, what should we do now that we cannot directly join the sect? Should we go back to doing quests?” Yuan asked a moment later.

“Hmmm I want to learn the technique we just bought, but I don't want to spend too much time on it” Yu Rou sighed.

"No problem. Confident, Yu Rou. After all, you yourself are also a genius, ” Yuan said to him with a gentle smile on his face.

"Brother ..." Yu Rou nodded a moment later.

“Xiao Hua, do you know a good place where he can practice secretly? Should we go back to Cultivators’ Haven?” Yuan decided to ask him.

“No, there are better places to learn techniques,” he said. “Just like how there are formations that can accelerate your cultivation speed, there are also formations that can help your comprehension. However, it does not really improve one's comprehension skills ” just creates an atmosphere where one can concentrate easier. ”

“It sounds like the perfect place to learn the technique! What is the name of this place?” Yu Rou spoke with excitement in her voice.

“Pagoda of Tranquility,” says Xiao Hua.

“Pagoda Calm? I don't think there is a building in this city with that name” Yu Rou said.

“That's because there isn't a single one in Spring City. If you want to go to that place, there is one in Nature City, which is about 1,000 miles.”

“1,000 miles !? It took us days to get there!” yu Rou.

“It will only take a few hours if we fly there,” Xiao Hua said.

“F-Fly?” Yu Rou looked at him with wide eyes full of surprise.

Xiao Hua nodded with a calm expression on his face before he started to float in the air.

"W-You're really flying!" Yu Rou then turned to look at Yuan and asked him, "D-Do you know about this ?!"

“Hm? Less is more." Yuan nodded.

Then he continued, “But how can we take him with us? I don't think he can use a flying sword even with your help.

"Sister Tian can carry her," Xiao Hua said.

“Hmm I think it could work” Yuan nodded.

He then took out a flying sword and waited for Xiao Hua to support him with his spiritual energy.

“I will carry you now, Yu Rou,” Yuan said as he lifted Yu Rou's entire body easily.

"K-Sister ?!" Yu Rou's face instantly blushed red as Yuan suddenly carried her princess-style.

"Wait, Yu Rou!" Yuan said to him as he jumped onto the flying sword.

‘It's a bit awkward, but I have to set it up ..’ Yuan thinks inwardly while adjusting his balance and posture.

"Are we ready to go, Brother Tian?" Xiao Hua asked him.

"Yes, please, but not too soon." Yuan nodded.

A moment later, Xiao Hua flew towards the clear sky while controlling the flying sword.

"Look! Immortals!"

The pedestrians pointed at their disappearing figures with admiration on their faces, and the Players watched with puzzled gazes, hoping they could do the same in the future.

“Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!” Yu Rou shouted with her eyes closed as they suddenly started moving, not daring to open it even a moment later, and her arms were tightly coiled around Yuan's neck.

"Are you okay, Yu Rou?" Yuan asked her with a smile on his face. "You won't fall, so don't worry."

However, Yu Rou still refused to open her eyes until a few minutes later when she finally got used to the feeling of flying in the air, but her slender arms still hugged Yuan's neck tightly.

“What do you think, Yu Rou? Isn't the world beautiful?” Yuan asked him a moment later.

"Yes!" said Yu Rou.

After looking at the scene for a few minutes, Yu Rou turned to look at Yuan, who was smiling gently on his handsome face as he carried her like a prince, who was holding her, and Yu Rou's gaze would remain on her face for the next few minutes.

“Hm? What's problem?" Yuan looked at him and asked after realizing that he was staring at him intensely.

"T-No!" Yu Rou quickly said in a shocked voice, feeling her heartbeat skyrocket afterwards.

“B-Actually, I want to ask you about Xiao Hua Why is he able to fly? What cultivation did he do? ”

“Uhhh Spirit King?” Yuan replied in a strange tone.

“King of Spirits? What cultivation level is that? ” Yu Rou raised her eyebrows in confusion.

"I think it's like the five realms above the Spirit Apprentice realm?"

“T-Wait! Five realms above me?! That's so high! And you have someone as powerful as him following you all along?! You can really do anything in this game if you want to be with him!” Yu Rou looked at him with a surprised look, and even more questions popped up in her head.

Why would someone as strong as Xiao Hua follow him everywhere? Who is Xiao Hua?

Yu Rou narrowed her eyes at Yuan with a suspicious look, and she asked, "Sister... I've been wanting to ask you this question for a long time, but what's the name in your game?"

“”

Yuan's body immediately stiffened upon hearing his question, and his back and hands quickly sweated.

‘Haaa Why did I choose ‘Yuan’ as my name? What if he finds out about ‘itu’ because of this? I don't want to lose him’ Yuan sighed inwardly.

"Brother brother? Are you all right? Why didn't you say anything? It's just a name in your game. There was no need to get too closed” Yu Rou said to him a moment later, her suspicions grew stronger.

“”

‘I can lie to him, but he will find out the truth sooner or later” about my name and ‘itu’, and I cannot bear the guilt of lying directly to his face… not after everything he did” sacrificed for me..’.

After seeing the puzzled expression on Yuan's face, Yu Rou said, “It's okay, brother. Although I don't know the reason, you don't need to tell me if you don't want to. I can wait until you're ready to tell me.”

"It's okay." Yuan suddenly said. "I'll tell you."

"Are you sure? You don't have to force yourself”

"Although there are some reasons why I don't want to say it, you are my precious little sister, and I can't say no to you," Yuan said bitterly on his face.

After taking a deep breath, Yuan spoke in a slightly trembling voice, "In this world, I have given myself the name ‘Yuan’…"

"Yuan?" Yu Rou looked at him with wide eyes full of surprise, but she was not surprised. In fact, he felt somewhat relieved.

After staring at Yuan for a few minutes, Yu Rou turned to look at Xiao Hua, who stared back at him with a silent look.

Yu Rou then closed her eyes and took a deep breath before speaking in a surprisingly calm voice, "So .. So you were Player Yuan all along."

“I'm sorry for trying to hide it from you, Yu Rou. It's just that there are a lot of people who are mad at me and trying to hunt me down for some reason, and I don't want you to think of me as a villain or someone who is hated by others”

Yu Rou shook her head and even stroked her cheeks with her hands, “Don't be silly, brother. I Don't care what others think of you, and even if the whole world is against you, I'll never hate you. After all, you are still my precious brother who is always there when I need someone”

He then continued, “And I guess I know the reason why so many people are trying to hunt you, so you don't have to worry about that.”

"Thul? Why?" Yuan asked him.

“Simple, brother. They envy you” for your talent. No matter if it's in the real world or in video games, there will always be people who envy your talent, so you shouldn't pay too much attention to them.”

“By the way, as expected of you, brother. Not only do you shock the world with your talent in the real world but you also cause a commotion in the gaming world. Wherever you go, consciously or not, you are always in the spotlight.”

“Haha you're exaggerating, Yu Rou”

“Whether I am exaggerating or not, it is a fact that you are once again the center of attention around the world. Although the world may no longer care about the name ‘Yu Tian’ after you disappeared from the entertainment world, everyone is currently paying attention to the name ‘Yuan’ and watching your every move, More, so make sure you don't disappoint them, brother. Of course, I will also keep an eye on you.” Yu Rou said to him with a smile on her pretty face.

“Un.” Yuan nodded.
