Jin Rou walked over and saw a young girl with a deep scar on her face. She was in a meditating position feeling the world dao. One after another, small light particles could be seen.

"Her body is ready for a breakthrough, but her enlightment is not enough to do so." Jin Rou shook his head, "She must have probably rushed it in order to gain something."

"Isn\'t it bad, then? Will it lead to qi deviation?" It was a serious matter, of course. But she still asked.

Qi deviation was the worst thing a cultivator could experience during breakthroughs. It would make their bodies explode or their veins explode. Either way, it\'s not something you would want to happen to you.

Jin Rou observed the young girl and shook his head, "This girl is determined to breakthrough. If that is her choice, we cannot force her to stop."

It was the her life, anyway. She should be the one controlling it, not others.

Soon, the young girl\'s expression contorted. She must be feeling a pain that felt like her bones being broken. She even spurt blood in the process. But Jin Rou had no signs of helping her.

It was her choice and he wouldn\'t interfere no matter what happened.

"Boom!" Light particles spread and surrounded her entire being. Her expression returned back to normal as her breathe became steady.

"She pulled through." Sylvianna heaved a sigh of relief. She didn\'t know why but she felt a sudden care for this person. She usually didn\'t care about people after what happened to her family, but it was different this time.

After an hour of stabilizing her body, the young girl opened her eyes and saw the two, "Thank you for not stopping me, Big Brother."

Although she was in that state, she was aware of what was happening in the surroundings. Her red hair fell down from being in a bun.

She must be a beauty if that scar wasn\'t there on her face, just like Sylvianna.

The young girl slowly stood up with grace and cupped her hands, "I am called Meishei. Can I know Big Brother\'s and Little Sister\'s name?"

"Jin, and this is Sylvianna." Jin Rou nodded, "You did well in persevering during that worst part. The chance of you succeeding it was almost next to none, but your luck seems well."

That\'s true. Meishei\'s recent breakthrough was because of an extreme luck. Perhaps, she was influenced by Jin Rou\'s thus she managed to pull through. Of course, she was aware of it too.

"That\'s true, Big Brother Jin." Meishei nodded. She didn\'t deny this fact. After all, luck was a certain part of skills. Regardless, she was still an amazing cultivator.

"But that\'s not what I\'m curious about." Jin Rou asked, "How did you survive? Surely, you don\'t want me to say your identity or it might invite you a calamity, right?"

Hearing this, Meishei shuddered. She thought she had hidden it well, "How did you know?"

"Basically, nothing can escape my eyes." Jin Rou answered, "I even saw your past, so you\'re completely naked in front of me. Not literally, through."

"You\'re a saint?" Meishei was running her questions, trying to evade the other party\'s question.

"Answer my question first." Jin Rou wouldn\'t let her do it her way, of course, "How did you survive when they died?"

Sylvianna couldn\'t understand the most part but she got the gist of it by connecting the clues. It must be something related to the abandoned village here. Though she was aware that this village was powerful, she didn\'t know how and exactly why. She couldn\'t even know their identity.

Meishei knew that she couldn\'t hide it from Jin Rou so she gave in, "I was just lucky. My family and my several elders used their flesh to protect me. They want at least a single person survive the catastrophe. And they chose me. Unfortunately, I didn\'t escape it without suffering damages."

Jin Rou looked at the deep scar on her face and understood it right away, "Your family is a powerful one, and also one of the cautious ones at that aside from the Yu Clan. What did you do to earn that old man\'s wrath?"

Now, she felt it was harder to answer it. She stuttered answering, "I... I... cannot answer that."

"Meishei, it\'s easy to actually just invade your memories right now. But I\'m being considerate of your breakthrough pace so don\'t push my hand." Jin Rou was forcing the matter. This question held great importance to him, after all, "Besides, I can promise you that this conversation is not supervised by the old man."

After taking several deep breaths, Meishei slowly took out a scroll and gave it to Jin Rou, "Because of this scroll."

Jin Rou expressed shocked for the first time which was very rare nowadays. He took the scroll and opened it. It contained some secrets of the old man.

"Your family was so brave to actually steal this scroll." Jin Rou couldn\'t help but laugh, "I actually am amazed by how brazen your family was."

He\'s not mocking them. He was actually praising them for such bravery they showed. Just think about it, they even spent efforts and resources to steal that vital scroll. Take note, the scroll contained not just powerful secrets, but also a hidden power that could damage that old man\'s body!

Han Li coveted this treasure and tried to steal it from the old man. But every time he tried, he was unsuccessful as that old bastard was very wary of him. He knew that Han Li might make moves against the things he possessed currently.

Who would have thought that a certain family below his power level could do it? They must have spent so many efforts and planned meticulously to actually succeed.

"Meishei, I will give you two choices." Jin Rou said seriously, "You can have this and we will part ways immediately or I can have this but you will gain my protection until you can fight on your own."
