747 14.23 Last Violet Star – His Existence
The Lu brothers who had guessed Hei Wuan’s identity were startled by what Yun Xiajie had just said. Based on this man’s reaction, he most likely knew the real identity of Hei Wuan.
Lu Er asked with a surprised expression on his face, “Chun Hongyun-Jun, you know about his existence?”
“Um. A few years ago, Zhi Yang suddenly appeared before me. He told me that Jing’er would be coming back soon. His partner stayed behind with Jing’er to serve him while Zhi Yang stayed to serve me,” replied Yun Xiajie.
Among the group, only the crown prince could not understand their conversation. He is after all the youngest among all the cultivators in the hall. He is a generation younger than the rest but because the Emperor wanted him to gain experience that he was sent here in his instead. On the other hand, Jin Baihua was stunned to the point he had even forgotten to act.
The Crown Prince, Hong Longqing, asked, “Excuse me, Seniors. Could you kindly explain things to me? I do not know why you guys are surprised to meet this senior surnamed Hei.”
Lu Er said, “Come. Come. I will explain it to you.”
“Ah Yes. Then please Sect Master Lu,” said the crown prince as he was pulled into the corner by Lu Er who had explained the most unforgettable mistake the whole cultivation circle had made.
Meanwhile, Jin Baihua denied with all his might that that person had come back to life. Everyone had seen him die with their own eyes and saw him fade to nothing. Not even a corpse remains, even a speck of ashes doesn’t exist. But everyone is sure that he died, only Chun Hongyun-Jun denied this with his everything, and everyone treated him as insane because of it.
Jin Baihua exclaimed, “Impossible! No matter what, it is not possible for Bai Wuan to come back to life! Stop this kind of sick joke!”
.....
“Why do you think it is a joke, Sect Master Jin? You don’t want Wuan to come back? That’s right. Among everyone in the cultivation world, you envied him the most yet idolized him at the same time. But Wuan never cares for those he doesn’t like and for those who are strangers to him. It just so happens that you are nothing but a stranger in his eyes.” said Lu Yi.
Jin Baihua shouted, “Shut up!”
Silence descended in the hall once again, this only Jin Baihua’s dissatisfied pants echoing in the area.

Meanwhile, somewhere desolated within the territory of the Lu Weifeng Sect (Green Wind Breeze Sect).
This Senior Brother who calls himself Lu Ke had brought Yun Anjie and the rest of the disciples to the courtyard very far away from the main building they’d come from. The disciples of the Sect became even lesser as they followed Senior Brother Lu Ke somewhere which seems very secluded within the territory.
Of course, Yun Anjie, Yun Fan, Du Sang, and the rest of the disciples became vigilant as they got farther away from the most crowded place within the Lu Weifeng Sect (Green Wind Breeze Sect). On their way, they even bumped into the Sect Master of the (White Frozen Water Sect) Bai Lengshui Sect, Bai Qiyin. He looks so upset as he walks with hurried steps paired with his current grumpy expression.
Senior Brother Lu Ke reacted and greeted Bai Qiyin like how disciples from the sect see a Sect Master. The disciples from the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect had respectfully greeted the Sect Master as well. This is because they knew that Bai Qiyin is the Dao Companion of the Sect Master Yun.
“Disciple Lu Ke of Lu Weifeng Sect greets Sect Master Bai Ying!”
“Disciple Yun Anjie from (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect greets (Uncle Master) Shishu Bai Ying!”
“Disciple Yun Fan from (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect greets Sect Master Bai!”
“Disciple in name Du Dang from (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect greets Sect Master Bai!”
“Disciple from (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect greets Sect Master Bai!”
“.....greets Sect Master Bai!”
Hearing the polite greetings of the children from the (Blue Fleeting Cloud Sect) Lan Zhuayun Sect and Lu Weifeng Sect (Green Wind Breeze Sect) the grumpy Sect Master Bai Ying nods his head in return for these children’s greeting. His eyes linger longer on the disciple from the Lu Weifeng Sect (Green Wind Breeze Sect) called Lu Ke.
Bai Qiyin’s thoughts, ‘This disciple... If I remembered it right, isn’t he a disciple of that elder that was caught and exposed as a monster that looks like a huge bat? How come no one is investigating those involved with that fake elder? Moreover, aren’t these disciples the ones that come with Chun Hongyun-Jun? The one who met that Rogue Cultivator Lu Tian called Senior Hei. The Divine Doctor who cured Lu Wang.’
“Where are you brats going? This location is too far from the main building. Are you here to meet that Divine Doctor?” asked Bai Qiyin.
The young disciples were confused by Sect Master Bai Qiyin’s question. They are after all just following Senior Brother Lu Ke whose task is to send them to the guest’s courtyard.
Yun Anjie spoke, “What does Shishu Bai (Uncle Master) mean? There is a Divine Doctor? He lives in this place?”
“Were you guys not informed? The great Elder of the Lu Weifeng Sect, Lu Wang, was supposed in a dire situation that Lu Tian had sent an emergency summons from the Alliance Coalition. Sect Master Lu informed us that a Divine Doctor with the surname of Hei cured Lu Wang. He lives in one of these secluded courtyards. It was said that he hated crowds,” explained Sect Master Bai Qiyin.
“Divine Doctor with a surname... Hei?!! Is it the same Senior Hei that we know?” exclaimed Yun Fan.
“Maybe it is just the same surname but... The surname Hei itself is very rare. The possibility of him being the same person is high. We should check. If they are the same person we can thank him for saving us in that town,” suggested Du Sang while his real thoughts are the following:
‘That Divine Doctor is most likely Senior Hei from the Countryside Town. Since this Senior Brother called Lu Ke is acting weird we can ask for help if he happens to become an enemy. For some reason, I had a feeling that Sect Master Bai would barely fight equally with this person.’
Smart ones among the children understood the hidden meaning in Du Sang’s words. Yun Anjie nods his head in agreement while saying,
“If he is indeed Senior Hei we must pay our respect,” said Yun Anjie.
Yun Fan smiled as he glanced at the distant and secluded courtyard within their line of sight.
“Let’s go! I had a feeling that this Divine Doctor is indeed Senior Hei,” said Disciple Yun Fan.
Yun Anjie clasped his hands before Sect Master Bai and Senior Brother Lu Ke.
“We had some business with this place. We want to thank Senior Brother Lu Ke for showing us the way. Shishu, please excuse this nephew as we had some prior business to attend to,” said Yun Anjie.
Sect Master Bai Qiyin recalled what Lu Er had said in the hall. Though he doesn’t believe that this surnamed Hei is someone who is connected to his deceased beloved Senior Brother, he still couldn’t help but be interested in him. He glances with narrowed eyes towards the detached courtyard not far from where they are.
“Disciple Nephew Yun Anye led the way. I would also like to meet the so-called Divine Doctor from Lu Tian’s story,” said Bai Qiyin.
Yun Anjie secretly glances at Senior Brother Lu Ke and finds him sneering at them. He realized that this man doesn’t seem to be afraid of Sect Master Bai’s presence.
Du Sang on the other hand tugged on Yun Fan’s sleeves and nodded his head as he pointed at the courtyard where Senior Hei is supposed to be resting. Obviously telling them that, only Senior Hei would be able to save them. Yun Anjie and Uun Fan exchanged glances and decided to follow Du Sang’s suggestion. One of them had left to report already even if Senior Hei didn’t help them they would most likely be able to hold on until Chun Hongyun-Jun arrives.
Yun Anjie said to Sect Master Bai, “Senior Brother Lu Ke knows the way. He would guide us kindly.”
“Of course! It is my duty. This way please~ the Divine Doctor resides in this secluded area as per request. He seems to not like having someone accompanying him. But I think he wouldn’t mind a short visit.” said Senior Brother Lu Ke.
The current thoughts of Lu Ke, ‘Either I am different from that stupid bat who was caught before. An increasing number of people meant much more prey for me to eat~’
Senior Brother Lu Ke said, “This way. Please follow me.”
Sect Master Bai Qiyin and the young disciples all followed after Lu Ke. They all head toward the direction of the farthest courtyard within the sect’s territory.Please visit 𝙛𝓇𝑒𝗲𝒘e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕. com

Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Hei Anjing was lying on a rocking chair with his eyes closed but obviously, he couldn’t sleep properly as traces of black circles can be found at the corner of his eyes.
Zhi Yue, who was standing not far from Hei Anjing, looked at his Lord worriedly.
“Lord Hei, how long are you not able to sleep? Don’t you know how bad you look right now?” asked Zhi Yue in a polite tone.
Hei Anjing slowly opens his eyes revealing his argent irises, there is evident tiredness within those gray eyes.
“I can sleep. Ever since we descended into this realm, I could hardly close my eyes. Sleeping alone at night makes it very uncomfortable. The only way I could nap is when there was a severe headache and I would shortly lose consciousness. If it is an illness there is no way I wouldn’t be able to cure myself but sadly it wasn’t any sickness.”
Thoughts of Hei Anjing, ‘But thanks to that I had seen most of the lost memories of my past life. So I was called Bai Wuan in one of my mortal lives and that... This is the second time I have descended here in this realm. Did I die in that life before completing my mission? Either way, I will know in the future...’
While Zhi Yue and Hei Anjing were having a casual conversation, they felt a presence coming over in this direction. It made Hei Anjing’s mood bad for a moment until he recognized the owners of those auras.
Zhi Yue spoke, “Lord Hei, the children you’ve saved in that former town have all safely arrived in this city. Someone must have saved them before we left.”
“There are two unfamiliar auras mixed in the group of children. Are you able to recognize them, Yue?” asked Hei Anjing.
Zhi Yue who just finished his investigation about the great sects and all things about this realm responded,
“Yes, My lord. The one with the silver hair is most likely the current Sect Master of the Great Sect at the North. The (White Frozen Water Sect) Bai Lengshui Sect’s Master, is called Baishui Junzhu (White Water Monarch). His courtesy name is Bai Ying and his birth name was Bai Qiyin. He is born with Nine Yin Meridians which is supposed to be deadly for males to have. But for some reason, his physique had stabilized with the help of his Senior Brother. But anything about this senior brother was erased in history. All I’ve heard is that the people call him, Heixue Xianzi (Black Snow Fairy).”
“As for the other one, I do not know. He is most likely a monster using a disciple’s skin to infiltrate this human sect. He is not weak by the cultivation stages of the Mortal Realm. He is at most at the Peak Nascent Soul stage. This subordinate doesn’t know why he is coming over here. I don’t know if he is arrogant thinking he can defeat my lord or just stupid as hell.”
“Insect-type monsters as mostly stupid. Don’t think too much. It must be treating that group as prey and even including us as a reserve ration. Yue, if he made his move, prepare to kill it. Move in my signal,” said Hei Anjing.
Zhi Yue replied with a short bow, “As you wish, Lord Hei.”
