The moment we reached the sect, the first thing that every one did was return to their residences.
Cai Lien bid me adieu and did the same. This was an exhausting few days, and the final fight was also life threatening enough for everyone to need the comfort of home.
Unfortunately, I could not feel that way about anywhere just yet. The Liu Family manor was the only place that remotely felt like a place that I could be.
I walked to the market of the Outer sect. Once again, the new disciples started avoiding me. But this time, they were speaking about me loudly as well.
"That is Liu Feng. I hear that he was in the Pill Tower when this happened. He is so lucky. He was able to witness a fight between Xiantian realm experts and survive this fact." one of them said to the other. He did not even bother whispering.
I shook my head and walked straight to the place where I had met Ji Riyal the last time. I did not expect him to sit here though. He was a genius of the sword dao, no doubt. He would be trying to comprehend the profundities of the dao in his meantime.
"Ji Riyal... Why does that sound so similar to someone else that I just encountered? Wait a minute! Isn't that the same surname that senior sister Ji Ki'er has? By any chance, is he related to her? That would make a lot of sense!" I realized.
I just sat with a column faced to my back and looked at everyone talking about me.
"I need to find some information about the Inner sect trials fast. Without that, I will be completely unprepared." I sighed as I thought out loud.
I heard footsteps behind me. Someone had come here.
I turned around to see a familiar, yet foreign face. It was someone who had gone through the trials that I had in the top ten. It was Li Huan.
"What are you doing here? Did I offend you as well, somehow?" I asked.
"You forget. Unlike you, the idiot, I know my father very well. I know what to expect from him. I saw threw that stupid disguise and his antics a long time ago. I pity you for being the fool and agreeing to his request to be his disciple." Li Huan shook her head.
"Then what would you wanted me to have done? I am this strong only because of the opportunities that he has given me. If it weren't for that, then I know that I would be stuck in foundation establishment stage." I said.
"So you are also entering the race to become an inner sect disciple? What a shame. I would have thought that father would make you a core sect disciple immediately, but it seems that he is ashamed of having you as a disciple." she chuckled.
"You would think that such a comment would make me furious, but my stupid background and the amount of controversy I create, him allowing me to stay in the sect is already a grace in itself." I smiled.
"You and your father, you are the same." she shook her head.
"You know my father? Which father? My foster father? Or my real father?" I asked, my eyes widening. This was too good an opportunity to pass by.
"Of course I know both your fathers. But I only met your foster father. Martial Uncle Liu Qian. I don't know what you did in your past life for you to be so lucky that you became the son of such a great man. He was the genius of the entire country, until you came by. He sacrificed everything that he had for you. Just remember that." she said.
"He did what?" Please tell me what happened clearly. I really want to know what happened." I asked, desperate.
"What I said was already too much. Maybe another time. Until then, I will see you in the Inner sect trials. If you can pass them, that is." she smiled.
"At least tell me what the trials of the inner sect are!" I shouted at her departing figure.
"Now why would I do that to my biggest competitor? There are so few spots after all!" she chuckled.
"Alright, I give up." I sighed.
"I was joking. You really are fun to mess around with. Father was right in doing all of that to. You gave up so easily!" Li Huan laughed as she came back to me.
My heart lightened a little.
"Thank you then. It is hard when you have no friends. Well, what can we do? I guess the best source of information that I have is listening to other people gossip." I said.
"Stop trying to pitch your sobstory to me. I am just telling you this because I want to pay you back for what my father did to you. Although it was hilarious, I am pretty sure that he wasn't thinking about what he did." she said.
"The Inner sect trials happen once every three years. And they stay the same every time. Every elder watches the trials, and they look for potential disciples. The main format is just fighting. It is a competition. Only during your selection into the sect, does the sect look for something other than martial power. After that, the fist is the king. Only the first ten will be able to get to the Inner sect." she said.
"And as a person in the Core Formation Stage, will I have a good chance of getting in?" I asked.
"If you don't get in, then you are worthless." she said.
"Ah! So cruel! Thank you for this. I thought that the trials were going to take so many sections." I smiled.
"Now, it is your turn to pay me back with a little information. Did senior sister Cai Yun'er really die to the hands of the branch leader of the Pill Tower?" she asked with a hush tone.
