Both she and Uncle Zhao had hesitated when the seemingly young man before them said he would heal them. Now they're thanking their luck that they trusted him for his words at last.
Altogether they used 90% Life Essence of the half fruit to heal and achieve their current cultivation, the remaining 10 percent can be slowly absorbed to improve their Cultivation or Life Essence.
Another benefit they obtained is improving their Cultivation Techniques. One must know that they come from a different Realm. Though they have the same Cultivation System, their application would definitely be different.
But this person actually modified it from the low-grade Clan Cultivation Techniques to Higher grade Cultivation Techniques. It seemed even higher than the Clan's Top-grade Divine Technique.
The modification was done in the instance they started channeling the Life Essence based on their Techniques.
'This must be a supreme expert', they thought and looked at each other in the eyes. They could see what the other party was thinking.
After all, there is no free lunch in the world. This 'Senior' has done so much for them withinn the short time they've met.
Although they're willing to give even their lives to repay his grace, they couldn't think of anything they could do or achieve that could amount to what Lin Fan had done.
"Do not think too much. Do not be weary of me either. If I wanted to harm you, you wouldn't stand a chance now, much less when we first met. Again, I'll not ask too much of you. Just be sincere when answering my questions",
Lin Fan spoke at this moment when he noticed their uneasy expressions.
They smiled bitterly, knowing they had been seen through. At this point, it was Zhao Jin who spoke while kowtowing,
"Senior, we thank you for your grace. Ask us anything and we'll do our best to answer you"
"Yes, please ask us anything, Senior" Gu Xixi added.
"First, stop calling me Senior. I'm younger than both of you, though you may not believe me. My name is Lin Fan. Call me Lin Fan"
"But...", they were scared and shocked.
"There's nothing else", Lin Fan cut them off. "Just call me Lin Fan, if it's inconvenient, call me Brother Lin", he said.
"Okay, Brother Lin", Zhao Jin said, he is much older and much thick-skinned. Lin Fan smiled. His smile caused Gu Xixi to blush slightly, and she was in a daze for a moment.
"Young Miss..." Zhao Jin called to her when he saw the situation.
"Hm? huh... huh... I... I'm sorry Se... Brother Lin" She stuttered and blushed even more. (Calling a man "Brother" and adding their names is actually an act of intimacy from where she came from, such as the Brother Lin here).
Zhao Jin was stunned. This is the first time he had seen his young Miss loose her composure, but he didn't dare say anything because he felt a heated gaze on himself.
Gu Xixi glared at Zhao Jin, as if telling him "Don't you dare speak or laugh!"
Lin Fan noticed the awkwardness and
"Ahem. Now that is settled. May I know your names?", he coughed lightly and said.
Though his coughing made things more awkward, the question he asked made them forget it.
"My name is Gu Xixi", Gu Xixi said.
"My name is Zhao Jin", Zhao Jin said "I am actually one of Young Miss' Family Guardian Beast", he added.
"So it's Young Miss Gu and Elder Zhao", Lin Fan said.
"Brother Lin, that's not fair. I can call you Brother Lin but you'll call me Elder Zhao? I'll pass. Call me Old Zhao" Zhao Jin said.
"Brother Lin, I'll call you Young Master Lin then. You can call me Young Miss", Gu Xixi chimed in.
This last word exchange had eased the atmosphere and they felt closer to one another.
"Okay, it's settled Old Zhao and Young Miss", Lin Fan didn't find anything wrong with it.
"I'm going to be asking you some personal questions. I hope you don't mind"
"Please ask Young Master, we will answer you", Gu Xixi said and Zhao Jin nodded.
"Alright then, tell me about your Roots. Where you come from and how you ended up here. I have my reasons for asking. As I have said before, I'm really a young man. I'm less than 50 years old"
"Although I don't much know about this world, I have heard legends. Legend of a Behemoth that fell from the Sky and fought many powerhouses of this World"
"It is said that the powerhouses fought with the beast for months. At the end of the battle, many died, and only a few escaped with grave injuries"
"Then the Behemoth descended upon this forest which will later be known as the Immemorial Forest, and that era was known as the Era of Doom"
The duo heard this and they were at first surprised by what Lin Fan said about his real age.
But a series of emotions soon flashed in their eyes. Anger, hate, loss, sorrow, bitterness and helplessness. But then, there's a gleam of hope, albeit for a moment.
"Young Miss, let m..." Zhao Jin wanted to say but
"I'll say it", Gu Xixi interrupted.
"Okay", Zhao Jin gave up. He actually wanted to say it to carry this burden for the Young Miss. But since she insisted, he can only give up.
"It all happened hundreds of thousands of years ago, precisely 436, 529 years ago. As you know, we're not from this world. But there's more to it. We're not from this Void Region. " Gu Xixi started.
"It is common knowledge in the Great Expanse that the Multiverse is divided into Void Regions. We are from the Inner Void Regions, one of the powerhouses of the Inner Circle, Fierce Beast Region".
"Because there's a traitor amongst us in the clan, my father the Clan Leader used one of the Clan's Great Teleportation Scroll to send us to the Outer Circle Regions.
The Teleportation destination is random, that is why we ended up in the space above the Red Mist World of the Misty Void Region", Gu Xixi explained.
