Hearing the words "Life Source," the woman in purple froze for a moment but quickly returned to normal, smiling at Liu Tiantian, "You can't call me sister, that would mess up the generational hierarchy."

"Then what should I call you?" Liu Tiantian asked with a face full of innocence.

The woman in purple smiled sweetly and said, "My name is Liu Ziyuan. I belong to your father's generation, so you can call me aunt."

Liu Tiantian scratched her head and muttered, "You don't look much older than me, how can you be of my aunt's generation? Are you trying to trick me?"

Liu Ziyuan smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't believe it, then just call me by my name."

"Alright, Ziyan, just tell me where the Life Source is." Liu Tiantian, not at all shy, grabbed Liu Ziyuan's arm and started shaking it.

Liu Ziyuan was dumbfounded by her innocence.

She thought to herself, isn't this girl growing up in the outside world? How can she be so pure?

"Ziyan, Ziyan, tell me quickly, I need that spring water urgently." Liu Tiantian hugged her arm and shook it, acting spoiled.

Liu Ziyuan shook her head and said with a helpless smile, "This is not urgent, but the Family Head and madam have been waiting for you for a long time. Let me take you to meet them first."

"What Family Head and madam? Who are they?" Liu Tiantian asked.

Liu Ziyuan was taken aback and explained, "They are your biological parents."

"Alright then."

Liu Tiantian nodded and took Chen Nan's hand, saying, "Cousin, let's go."

Liu Ziyuan frowned and looked at Chen Nan with puzzlement, "Cousin?"

"It's like this, my name is Chen Nan, and I'm a cousin of one of Tiantian's friends. When we first met, she followed them in calling me cousin, and later got used to it and never changed." Chen Nan explained.

Liu Ziyuan nodded and said, "Young Master Chen, although you are Tiantian's friend and an honored guest of the Liu family, the Family Head ordered that I can only take Tiantian inside. So, please wait here in this pavilion for a moment."

While speaking, Liu Ziyuan pointed to an ancient pavilion nearby.

"No way!"

Liu Tiantian quickly said, "If we go, cousin has to come with me, otherwise I won't go in either."

"This..."

Liu Ziyuan was a bit troubled and said, "This is the Family Head's order, I can't disobey it."

Liu Tiantian held onto Chen Nan's arm tightly and said, "I don't care if he's the Family Head or not; if cousin doesn't go in with me, I won't meet him either."

"Tiantian, he is your biological father, how can you speak like this?" Liu Ziyuan said.

Liu Tiantian, holding onto Chen Nan's arm, refused to let go, "Who knows if he is my father or not, anyway he didn't raise me. If cousin doesn't go in with me today, I won't meet him no matter what."

Despite her innocence, this girl can be quite stubborn when she insists on something.

Liu Ziyuan was in a dilemma when Chen Nan touched Liu Tiantian's cheek and said, "Tiantian, be good, go in with her, I'll wait for you here."

"But cousin..."

"Don't be stubborn. Have you forgotten? Yiyi is still waiting for us to go back!" Chen Nan said.

Liu Tiantian reluctantly nodded, turning back every three steps, and followed Liu Ziyuan inside.

Though she was a bit naive and often absent-minded, she understood Chen Nan's point. After all, the purpose of this journey was to obtain the Water of Life. If they offended the family, it would be difficult to get the water.

After Liu Tiantian left, Chen Nan went to the nearby pavilion.

Under the pavilion, there were stone tables and benches. Chen Nan sat on a stone bench, waiting for Liu Tiantian to come out.

But this wait lasted from afternoon till nightfall.

Although the Liu Family's Illusion Realm is an independent world, the Liu family's ancestors refined a fire essence to create a sun, which orbits above the sky. Therefore, this Illusion Realm, though separate from the Mortal World, also has day and night.

The night sky in this Illusion Realm is also filled with countless stars.

Those are, of course, not real stars but stars imitated by the Liu family ancestors by refining tiny fire essences.

"So experts with extreme cultivation can have such abilities!"

Chen Nan marveled in his heart, also curious about whether the cultivation of the Liu family ancestor compared to his own deceased master, who was stronger?

In reason, his deceased master's cultivation had reached the pinnacle.

But this Liu family ancestor, being able to create such a Small World, was evidently not to be underestimated. Deciding who was stronger was just a wild guess for Chen Nan at his current cultivation level and could not be determined.

Chen Nan stood at the edge of the pavilion, looking at the dense stars in the sky, and suddenly a familiar feeling appeared in his heart.

A sense of déjà vu!

Chen Nan tried hard to recall, and a chessboard appeared in his mind, a scene of playing chess with the Chess Sage old ghost back in the Ghost Realm.

The layout of the stars in the sky was very similar to the pieces on that chessboard.

To be precise, it was similar to the chess style of the Chess Sage.

Could it be that this Liu Family Illusion Realm has something to do with the Chess Sage?

A surprising thought suddenly appeared in Chen Nan's mind, could the Chess Sage be the ancestor who created the Liu Family Illusion Realm?

But this was just a guess. After all, the Chess Sage never mentioned his name back then.

Looking at the sky full of stars, a chessboard appeared in Chen Nan's mind. He multitasked, exploring the mysteries of the starry sky's layout, playing chess with himself on the chessboard, gradually entering a state of serenity.

It wasn't until midnight that Chen Nan came back to his senses.

Through his earlier meditation, his understanding of the Chess Dao Holy Skill has made significant progress.

Raising his eyes to the depths of the Liu family's old residence, he still didn't see Liu Tiantian come out.

It was already early morning. Liu Tiantian had been inside for six or seven hours. Although this was her ancestral home, Chen Nan couldn't help but worry something might happen to her.

Chen Nan wanted to call Liu Tiantian, but in this Illusion Realm, isolated from the outside world, there was no signal at all.

Looking deep into the numerous ancient buildings, Chen Nan strode inside.

Although Liu Ziyuan said earlier that without the Family Head's permission, outsiders are not allowed in, he was really worried about Liu Tiantian and couldn't wait any longer.

After all, if that girl was all right, how could she not come out after so long?

Chen Nan walked through these ancient buildings, not knowing exactly where Liu Tiantian was, and was even at a loss for someone to ask. In this Liu Family Illusion Realm during the day, people were still moving around, but in the dead of night, not to mention people, there wasn't even a ghostly shadow to be seen.

Even a tiger won't eat its cubs, the Liu family shouldn't be harmful to her, should they?

Thinking this in his heart, Chen Nan aimlessly searched around.

After walking about two kilometers forward, Chen Nan saw an old man with white hair sitting under a pavilion ahead and hurried forward to ask, "Excuse me, senior, do you know where Liu Tiantian, who just returned during the day, is?"
