Lily's heart pounded in her chest as she mustered the courage to ask Fei Ying the questions that had been haunting her mind. Her anxiety was palpable as she starts with a whole series of inquiry, "Why did you take me here? Who are you? What happens to my grandpa? does he knows I am here?"
Fei Ying leaned back, a glimmer of amusement dancing in his eyes. "Patience, little one," he said with a playful grin. "I'll answer all your questions, but we need to take one step at a time, slowly…."
Taking a deep breath, Lily nodded, her determination to uncover the truth still burning strong.
Fei Ying continued, "To answer your first question, I brought you here because I believe you have a special destiny—one that is intertwined with the secrets of your past and the legacy of your family."
His response only fuelled Lily's curiosity further, and she urged him to continue, "And who are you? What is your connection to my family?"
Fei Ying's expression grew serious as he replied, "I am Gu Fei Ying, a cultivator with my own share of history and experiences. As for my connection to your family, let's just say that your mother and I had a complex relationship. We were once allies, but circumstances led us on different paths."
Lily absorbed this information, her mind racing with new questions. Before she could ask more, Fei Ying addressed her third question, "Your grandpa, Yan, is aware that you are here. In fact, he is the one who sent me to find you."
Surprised by this revelation, Lily asked, "Why did my grandpa send you to find me?"
Fei Ying's eyes softened with compassion as he explained, "Your grandpa is deeply concerned for your safety and well-being. He suspect that there was a seal blocking your cultivation, and he sought help to remove it. He believes in you, Lily, and wants to see you fulfil your potential."
As the weight of this revelation sank in, Lily felt a mix of emotions—gratitude for her grandpa's concern and determination to overcome the seal that had held her back for so long.
"And the seal?" she asked. "Why was it placed on me?"
Fei Ying took a moment before responding, "We can only guess that the seal was placed on you by your mother, Yan Yu. It was done to protect you from certain dangers and to keep you hidden from those who sought to exploit your potential. But it also prevented you from cultivating. Now, we must work together to unlock your true abilities."
Lily listened, her heart heavy with the knowledge of her mother's sacrifices. At the same time, a spark of hope ignited within her—the hope of breaking free from the constraints that had held her back.
"So, shall we begin?" chimed Fei Ying.
