Li Fan asked a series of baffling questions, leaving Yin Yuzhen somewhat dazed, not understanding why Li Fan was asking such things.

All of a sudden, it seemed like a possible explanation dawned on her. She stared back at Li Fan, her complexion pale, “Could it be that you’re our long-lost father, our sister and I?”

However, she quickly dismissed that thought, “No, you look nothing like us.”

“I’m merely curious,” Li Fan didn’t pay any mind to this girl whose thoughts appeared to be jumping to conclusions, he said lightly.

“I know, I know. It’s normal to be curious about one’s kind,” Yin Yuzhen nodded incessantly with an understanding look.

Li Fan was too lazy to explain further.

Yin Yuzhen exhaled slowly, then resumed, “Originally, we were from the Northern Night’s End Island. Our parents died in a catastrophe when we were very young, leaving only my sister and I to support each other. From what I recall, my sister and I could only survive day-to-day by begging, always hungry.”

“But at some point, my sister began to find various valuable things in different areas. ”

“So our days gradually improved and, later, she single-handedly built Tianbao Building,” Yin Yuzhen reminisced.

“Sadly, I haven’t seen my sister for a long time.” She seemed to miss her dearly.

“Oh? Where did she go?” Li Fan asked with a slight furrow in his brow.

“Three years ago, she was taken away by a passing Immortal Teacher. At first, she would still send us messages to let us know she was alright. Yet, later on, we never heard from her again.” Yin Yuzhen said pitifully, her hands cupping her chin.

“Taken away by an Immortal Teacher? Could it be that they took her to cultivate into an immortal?” Li Fan could not help but ask.

Yin Yuzhen sighed, “It would be good if it were true. My sister told me in her last letter, using our secret code, that she was in a dangerous situation. If she does not contact me again, it would mean she has most likely run into trouble, and she warned me not to look for her again.”

On hearing this, Li Fan found himself asking, “Could it be the cause of her troubles is her Spirit-treasure Body?”

“That’s the part I can’t figure out myself. Even though having a Spirit-treasure Body is indeed powerful, as it can sense the presence of treasures nearby, its abilities are still limited.”

“My sister is just a mortal, so the treasures she can sense are only those of value to mortals. These so-called treasures might be deemed worthless by those Immortal Teachers.”

“There were Immortal Teachers who noticed my sister’s talent, but none thought much of it. I don’t know why, but in the end, she was still taken away by one.” Yin Yuzhen lamented, with a look of sorrow in her eyes.

“Despite the uncertainty of my sister’s fate, the business she left behind endures. I cannot let Tianbao Building, which she worked so hard to establish, be ruined in my hands.” Yin Yuzhen stated, looking intensely at Li Fan.

“That’s the reason I sought you out today.”

Li Fan raised an eyebrow, remaining silent.

Yin Yuzhen took it upon herself to explain, “I don’t have the magical talent my sister possesses. After my sister disappeared, Tianbao Building’s business has suffered day after day. Moreover, I made some dire judgments about certain items, failing to recognize they were fakes, which led to a huge loss.”

“The elders gradually expressed their displeasure with me, and they even wanted to collaborate with outsiders to expel me and share the assets of Tianbao Building.”

“Thankfully, they were still hesitant because of the fear of my sister, who had been taken away by the Immortal Teacher, so they didn’t act rashly.”

“So, I used the pretext of invading the market to escape from the Night’s End Island to this Liuli Island to avoid their antagonism.”

“Originally, my plan was to develop here for a few years, accumulate some power, and then return to retaliate against them. However, I did not expect to encounter another Spirit-treasure Body on this Liuli Island.”

Yin Yuzhen seemed somewhat excited, “If you help me, I’ll definitely be able to regain control of Tianbao Building.”

“Why should I help you?” Li Fan remained unmoved. “I’m not interested in the matters of Tianbao Building. What I desire is solely to cultivate into an Immortal.’

“Previously, you promised that if I helped you seize the fleet, you would help me secure a spot in the Spirit Cleansing Pond. You haven’t reneged on this, have you?”

It seemed Yin Yuzhen was prepared for Li Fan’s response, as she nodded, “We in Tianbao Building conduct business by always prioritising integrity. What we’ve promised you, we’ll definitely fulfill. But…” She paused, and gave Li Fan a cunning look.

“But what?” Li Fan’s face darkened.

Yin Yuzhen let out a soft chuckle, ‘Uncle, even if you do make it to the Spirit Cleansing Pond, so what? Removing the poisonous gas from within the body isn’t an easy matter. Each year, out of those who enter the pool, only about half succeed. And the older you are, the greater the chance of failure.”

“You aren’t that young anymore, Uncle. Are you completely sure you can succeed? A person only gets one chance to enter the Spirit Pool in their lifetime. If you fail, you will probably have to say goodbye to the path of Cultivation, forever.”

“I know entering the Spirit Cleansing Pond is not foolproof. But even with a fifty percent chance of success, it is well worth a try. However, from what you are implying…” Li Fan looked at Yin Yuzhen, his eyes slightly squinting.

“That’s right.” Yin Yuzhen’s face showed a pleased look that indicated she knew Li Fan would take the bait, “With my sister’s final letter, there was also an elixir called Dust Escape Pill.”

“According to the contents of my sister’s letter, as long as one takes this pill, their chances of successfully expelling the poisonous gases from within their body will greatly increase. If combined with the Spirit Cleansing Pond, even for someone your age, Uncle, it has high chances of success.”

“If you have such a miraculous pill, why haven’t you taken it yet?” Li Fan couldn’t help but ask.

“Uncle, not everyone is like you, resolute in their desire to cultivate into an Immortal. My wish is to do well in business and then guard Tianbao Building which was left behind by my sister.” Yin Yuzhen replied.

“To each their own…” Li Fan nodded slowly.

“Allow me to consider it. I will give you an answer in three days.” Li Fan, after pondering for a moment, didn’t immediately agree.

“Okay then, Uncle. I’ll wait for your answer.” Yin Yuzhen, though a little disappointed, nodded in affirmation.

“Take care!”

“I hope I have not misunderstood this time.”

As she watched Li Fan’s departing figure, Yin Yuzhen’s expression turned stern, and she softly muttered.

When dealing with Li Fan, Yin Yuzhen always played the role of a “junior” or “young girl”.

Her intuition told her that Li Fan did not mind this.

Moreover, dealing with Li Fan as a junior would make things more likely to succeed.

Yin Yuzhen did not have the ability to sense treasures like her sister did.

However, she had her own special trait.

Aside from her sister Yin Yueting, no one knew that Yin Yuzhen had been able to vaguely sense the outcome of events since she was young.

It was thanks to her sister’s Spirit-treasure Body and her ability to seek good luck and avoid disaster that the sisters were able to grow up smoothly..
