"Tianqi... there's something I want to talk to you about," Lu Tianyue said, looking at her quiet sister, deciding it was better to clear things up. Otherwise, her sister, who had just started to become cheerful, might be greatly shocked and either revert back to her old self or close herself off entirely, neither of which Lu Tianyue wanted to see.

After all, she still hoped her sister would support the Lu Family.

"Is it... about Brother Tianming?" Lu Tianqi asked her sister, her eyes suddenly reddening, and she said softly, "He's not Brother Tianming; he's Chu Mo, right?"

"You guessed?" Lu Tianyue looked at her sister somewhat awkwardly.

Lu Tianqi nodded gently, "From the moment they called him Master Chu, I had my suspicions. At that time, I just found it strange why Brother Tianming, who hadn't come back for so many years, appeared just after our side had an incident. The timing was too coincidental! But back then, there were no flaws on him, so even though I had my doubts, they soon disappeared. Because he was always trying his best to help us. Just like one of our family members."

Lu Tianqi continued softly, "So, from that time, I never doubted him again, treating him as Brother Tianming. But recently, I felt something was not right, because he was too mysterious. And looking at his arrangements, it was clear he was planning for the whole of Jinxiu City, not just to help the Lu Family. But I still didn't have many doubts; it's normal for a great man to have some ambition. But today... after I heard the three words 'Master Chu,' I finally understood everything. In fact, there has never been a Brother Tianming; there has only ever been one person. The one who bullied me... Chu Mo."

Lu Tianyue's face grew even more awkward, and she seemed somewhat guilty.

"Also, he is the Chu Mo who saved me, who saved the entire Lu Family," Lu Tianqi added. "You knew very early on, right? No... you didn't just know early on; this matter was planned by you from the beginning! Otherwise, he couldn't have impersonated him so perfectly, without a single flaw!"

Lu Tianyue gave a bitter smile, "You're right, I knew from the beginning; his identity was also arranged by me. Keeping it from you was..."

"Sister, I don't blame you," Lu Tianqi said quietly. "Though I was mischievous in the past, I wasn't someone who couldn't appreciate kindness from malice."

"..." Lu Tianyue looked at her sister, who appeared extraordinarily calm, feeling a bit uneasy.

At that moment, Lu Tianqi suddenly showed a mischievous smile and looked at Lu Tianyue, "But sister, you all deceived me quite miserably! Am I really that unreasonable?"

"No, that's not it," Lu Tianyue tried to explain.

Lu Tianqi gave a light chuckle, "Sister, I really don't blame you. I just feel... just feel a bit, strange." Saying this, Lu Tianqi pursed her lips, lifted her head, and gazed into the distance, speaking softly, "Someone you've hated deeply for a long time suddenly becomes the great benefactor who saved you and your family... This feeling, how to say it, is indeed a bit strange."

Lu Tianqi, looking at her sister, then asked, "Right, if he isn't Brother Tianming, what happened to Brother Tianming?"

Lu Tianyue's face slightly changed, she sighed lightly, but did not answer.

Lu Tianqi's face gradually turned pale, and after a long silence, she asked softly, "He's gone, isn't he?"

Lu Tianyue nodded gently, "For a long time now."

"I see, I really should have thought of it just now, asking only adds to the agitation. If Brother Tianming were still alive, with all the commotion Chu Mo has caused by impersonating him, he would have reacted somehow. This truly is sad news," Lu Tianqi sighed softly. "If only he were truly Brother Tianming, that would have been so much better!"

"Tianqi, you... you don't really like him, do you?" Lu Tianyue asked her sister with some concern.

Lu Tianqi shook her head, "What's the use of liking? Haven't you seen the group of exceptionally beautiful women around him?"

"No, you're wrong," Lu Tianyue said seriously, looking at her sister. "I can feel it; those women might have intentions towards him, but he... he definitely does not hold them in his heart!"

"Hmm?" Lu Tianqi looked at her sister with some surprise.

"Stop thinking about it, let it be. Such things..." Lu Tianyue laughed at herself somewhat, thinking: Silly little sister, if it were possible, wouldn't your sister try to win him over? Even if it meant both of us marrying him, if he agreed, I wouldn't hesitate! Such a man... is destined to soar across the heavens, and to be by his side would be a tremendous happiness! Unfortunately...

Lu Tianyue looked at her sister and said softly, "Now that you know, but regarding his identity..."

"Don't worry, sister, I'm not that foolish. Unless he reveals it himself one day, he will always be my Brother Tianming!" Lu Tianqi, equally clever, understood her sister's concerns and responded with a smile.

"That's good to hear!" Lu Tianyue finally felt relieved and smiled.

Although Miao Yi Niang and the others had just arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, they had integrated into this place in the shortest time possible.

So, even though the Lu sisters were becoming more familiar with the place, comparatively, they seemed like guests, while Miao Yi Niang and her group felt like the real masters of the house.

Chu Mo took the opportunity while everyone was busy preparing food and chatting to visit the backyard, where he saw the Fire Dragon, as well as Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong, who were also cultivating there.

Chu Mo first visited the Fire Dragon.

The proud Fire Dragon, upon seeing Chu Mo, was very pleased and even transformed into a middle-aged man enveloped in flames to chat with Chu Mo for a while.

When the Fire Dragon learned that Chu Mo's friends had provoked the Ouyang Family of Qingfeng City, he waved his hand indifferently, "They're just a bunch of chickens and dogs, not worth mentioning! If they dare to come, I assure you they won't return!"

Chu Mo looked at the Fire Dragon and asked, "Are you sure? If they come out in full force, a group of Primordial Infant peak experts, can you handle them all?"

The Fire Dragon laughed proudly, glancing at Chu Mo, "Kid, there's no need to provoke me. Although in this world, I can only exert the power of a Primordial Infant peak, my presence alone is enough to make all of them unable to even budge! A bunch of insignificant cultivators, even those from the Heavenly Realm, how many of them dare to act recklessly before me?"

Chu Mo smiled. Although the Fire Dragon seemed to be boasting a bit, it wasn't excessive. In the Spirit Realm, there truly were few cultivators who could withstand the pressure of the Fire Dragon.

Perhaps, that Blood Demon Ancestor... should be counted among them? Chu Mo thought, feeling that he should break through to the Primordial Infant realm as soon as possible, as only then could he truly take control of his own destiny.

Otherwise, relying on anyone else was only a temporary solution, not a long-term strategy.

Afterward, Chu Mo bid farewell to the Fire Dragon and went to meet Xiao Wanjun and Li Fangzhong.

These two former Primordial Infant peak powerhouses, having recovered over a period of time, were vastly different from before!

Looking at the two vibrant young men before him, Chu Mo could hardly believe his eyes, thinking, are these really the same as those two skin-and-bones, nearly dead old men from the black prison?

"Xiao Wanjun..."

"Li Fangzhong..."

"We greet the master!" The two said in unison, bowing with a fist to Chu Mo.
