"Hmph, can you believe it? That lazy guy is actually the legendary owner of Rarity Dew Auction House, who has branches all over Moonlight and Sunlight Continent!" Xue Lian said as she rolled her eyes.
"Oh"
"How did he get so powerful with that kind of lazy attitude?" Xue Lian continued
"Are you okay? You seem a little dazed"
"Yeah, I'm fine" For some reason, that guy gave her a nagging feeling.
"Did you know? That guy is even said to be friends with the young master of the Tian Family!" Xue Lian had long realized that Zi Hua was someone with remarkable abilities so she knew that Zi Hua would have at least some sort of knowledge about things like that.
So she just continued to rant about the guy as if she was trying to say 'I would never like that kind of guy'.
'Tian Family! It couldn't be!'
She hadn't collected information about Sunlight Continent yet and the memories she got from her master are incomplete.
"Do they have amethyst eyes?"
"Yup, that reminds me, when I first saw you I had though that you were from the Tian Family, but there's no way someone of the Tian Family would be wondering around outside for so long" Zi Hua replied with silence.
'It couldn't be, it must be just a coincidence' She couldn't get her hopes up or else she would be even more heart-broken if the news was wrong.
She hadn't told Xue Lian her surname since she had thought that Xue Lian didn't reveal her surname.
Well, nothing is confirmed yet so she better keep those thoughts to herself.
They chose a room next to each other's.
The two of them had rushed here so there was still a day before the 25th, it was currently the 23rd.
Xue Lian got her nice hot bath and a peaceful night of sleep, Zi Hua... not so quite, the possibility of her family being here kept her up, she was anxious to meet them again.
Thankfully, cultivators didn't have to sleep that much and had a stronger body so it didn't affect Zi Hua the next day.
Zi Hua suggested for them to go around the city to gather some information which Xue Lian agreed upon that idea, however to keep their advantage, powers had strictly controlled the outflow of inside information.
Apart from information such as it will be cold and the location of where they'll meet, that they already knew, they couldn't find any other news.
"Doufu Hua, we've been going around the whole day with no results" Xue Lian melted onto a bench, exhausted.
Since they had arrived here they had constantly faced challenges, making Zi Hua feel helpless. It would be so much easier if she just revealed her power and used force but she has to bide her time until she's strong enough.
She knows what she is doing is worth it, if she hadn't... she doesn't dare try to imagine the circumstances that she would be in, being constantly chased down by others.
Plus, she can't sneak into any of the sects' places to get information since if Rarity Dew Auction House know of the ruins, powers from higher continents may do too and send someone who was originally from here back down.
"Let's just carry on going around and see" Xue Lian got up and soullessly swayed around on the streets with a depressing aura, not knowing that her friend had left.
"Hey! Peasant, get on all fours and apologize to Senior Meng" Due to her depressed state, Xue Lian had accidentally bumped into someone and had fallen over.
The person, Senior Meng, who was bumped into didn't bother to hide her contempt, since she had come here, due to her talent everyone gave way to her so she became arrogant and proud.
Back in Starlight Continent, even though she was the Eldest Young Lady of the General's Manor, people looked down on her for being the daughter of a low ranked concubine (a former maid who climbed into her master's bed) who died of child birth but when she was found out to be a genius and got noticed by Sophist Sage Sect from a higher continent, everyone started fawning her, boosting her ego greatly.
Even the madam, her 'mother', and her other siblings had to give way to her.
Her mother had given birth to her not long after Zhang Ling Xin became the madam and she was given to Xia Fei Yan's mother to take care of.
But she hated that Xia Fei Yan even more so than the siblings of the main wife, she didn't care much for her birth mother who left her alone in a den of scheming vipers to fend for herself, but she loved Xia Fei Yan's mother who brought her up so kindly despite she not being her biological child.
But Xia Fei Yan took away that love from her!
She hated Xia Fei Yan's mother for loving Xia Fei Yan, she felt that Xia Fei Yan's mother had abandoned her.
