"Are you afraid?" Chu Mo walked over, giving a jovial glance at Lu Tianyue.

Lu Tianyue faltered slightly, then understood Chu Mo's implication and quietly replied, "A little."

She is not a woman adept at lying, especially in front of this mysterious and powerful young man. She didn't want to hide her vulnerability, "After all, he is the direct disciple of the Blood Demon Sect. It isn't realistic to say that I'm not afraid at all. But... I'm not that scared."

"Why?" Chu Mo looked at Lu Tianyue with curiosity.

"In the Spirit Realm, the Blood Demon Sect, even though considered top-tier, is notoriously ruthless - they bear grudges and retaliate for the smallest offense, instilling fear and trepidation in many. However, firstly, the Blood Demon Sect is located far from us, even for a Primordial Infant stage cultivator, it would take at least a month to reach there; secondly, my master's sect - Lingdong Mountain - is a dominant power here. Lingdong Mountain, Lingshui Hall, and Lingyue Sect, the three Ling Sects, stand together and watch over one another. If the Blood Demon Sect were to launch a large-scale invasion because of this, my master's sect... would not just stand by and watch." Lu Tianyue looked at Chu Mo, "I am just a bit worried about you. The Blood Demon Sect may not invade here on a large scale, but they definitely won't let you off."

"Me? Don't worry, my only fear is that the Blood Demon Sect's anger will be redirected at the Lu Family..." Chu Mo gave a bitter smile, "Had I known about this, I should have assumed a different identity."

"It's probably fate." A helpless smile appeared on Lu Tianyue's face, "After all, we hadn't anticipated that things would escalate to this degree nor could I have imagined five Golden Core stage cultivators would perish here. I still feel as if this is a dream."

"Do you regret knowing me?" Chu Mo looked at Lu Tianyue and asked.

"How could I? I can tell that you aren't an ordinary cultivator. You're full of mysteries that are irresistibly intriguing. Moreover, your future achievements will definitely be boundless. Having a friend like you is a form of fortune." Lu Tianyue said pensively, "It's just that the destiny of our Lu family is a bit grim. But this can't be blamed on you. The Cultivation Realm is always like this, perhaps, even without you, we would encounter these problems sooner or later."

"I appreciate your understanding," Chu Mo said earnestly.

"That's how things are. I'm just telling the truth." Lu Tianyue spoke softly, then looked at Chu Mo, "Are you planning to leave now?"

"Why should I leave?" Chu Mo glanced at Lu Tianyue, "As long as I'm using your brother's identity, I will wait until the Lu family is completely stable before I leave."

"Really?" Lu Tianyue didn't say much. Just a hint of joy briefly flickered in the depths of her eyes.

"By the way, Miss Lu, there is something I'm a little curious about." Chu Mo looked at Lu Tianyue and said.

"If you don't mind, you can call me Tianyue." Lu Tianyue playfully smiled at Chu Mo, "After all, you are my brother now!"

Chu Mo scratched his head and said, "Okay, then I'll call you Tianyue from now on."

Lu Tianyue nodded, "What do you want to ask me?"

Chu Mo said, "Since the Blood Demon Sect is so far away from here, why did Zhao Qing and his cohorts show up here? Moreover, it seems like... the two of you knew each other?"

"Don't get me started. The disciples of the Blood Demon Sect are notorious for sticking their noses everywhere. Whenever they see an opportunity, they always try to intervene. So, it's not surprising to encounter them here. However, these direct disciples of the Blood Demon Sect usually act on their own and are rarely seen together. Especially this time, it seems as if they came specifically for the ruins of the Qingxu Sect. Even after failing, they didn't leave and were********waiting in Jinxiu City, hoping to track you down. Clearly, whatever you found is... very important to them." Lu Tianyue analyzed seriously.

Then, she added, "As for the familiarity between us, it's because we met once at a Spirit Realm convention a few years ago. Since then, Zhao Qing has been relentlessly pursuing me. My master warned him once which made him act a bit more restrained, but he never gave up his intentions."

"So that's how it is..." Chu Mo ruminated, "What is a Spirit Realm convention?"

"Ah? You don't know that?" Lu Tianyue was somewhat speechless at Chu Mo's 'ignorance', she gave Chu Mo a bitter smile, "How secluded must your past life have been? Gosh... You really do resemble my distant brother, you both live such secluded lives."

Chu Mo gave an embarrassed smile, "It can't be helped... The environment I lived in before didn't give me any opportunity to learn about these things."

What Chu Mo said was the truth; how could he know about the details of the Spirit Realm when he was living in the Mortal Realm?

"The Spirit Realm convention happens roughly every few years, the timing varies, sometimes there are even two in a year!" Lu Tianyue explained with a smile, "It's essentially a large marketplace with all kinds of things. Elixirs, spiritual tools, minerals, various raw materials... essentially anything related to cultivation, you can find it there. At the convention, you can find items you need and sell items you no longer require, such as dharma instruments, in exchange for spirit stones."

"Oh... It's essentially a marketplace." Chu Mo suddenly realized.

"A marketplace?" Lu Tianyue's mouth twitched a bit, and then she nodded with a smile, "That's right, it's a large marketplace, not much different from those where vegetables are sold. On normal days, every city has various shops, but some items are hard to find. That's not an issue at the Spirit Realm Convention. There, you can find anything that you are looking for."

"Is it really that magical?" Chu Mo looked at Lu Tianyue with disbelief.

"Of course, I'll take you to see it when we have a chance!" Lu Tianyue covered her mouth and laughed.

"Agreed!" Chu Mo also smiled and nodded.

"Good, it's settled!" Joy flickered in Lu Tianyue's eyes. She then said, "Let's go, Qi might be getting impatient waiting for us at home. We sister, will warmly welcome our long-lost brother!"

With that, Lu Tianyue couldn't help laughing. She then looked at Chu Mo and said, "By the way, Qi really believes you are Lu Tianming. So, don't hurt her feelings. She is my only little sister. Don't take what happened before to heart. She's young and has been spoiled at home. Now that our father is no longer here, I can see that she has matured a lot overnight."

Chu Mo nodded, "Don't worry, even if you didn't say so, nobody would ever know that Lu Tianming is no longer with us."

A delighted smile appeared on Lu Tianyue's face. Then, her steps light, she advanced towards Jinxiu City.
