My sister is Luna

"Hey, how did you know my name?"

The red-haired boy was surprised, his bright eyes filled with doubt. He remembered that he hadn't told Mulan his name.

"Although I often fight bandits and protect the innocent in the nearby villages, I shouldn't be this famous," Baili Xuance said, scratching his head sheepishly with a shy smile.

"Your brother Baili Shouyue is looking for you." Hua Mulan only said this one sentence, but it immediately made Baili Xuance take it seriously.

“My brother… doesn’t have this name. Although we share the same surname, his name isn’t Shouyue,” Baili Xuance said with a shrug.

"Uh..." Mulan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Had she mistaken someone for someone else?

"But I believe you," Baili Xuance said with a grin. His smile held a hint of anticipation and excitement.

As expected, Master kicked me out so that I could reunite with my brother. That's how things are now. He didn't lie to me.

Baili Xuance thought to himself with relief.

Brother, it's been so long since we last saw each other, hasn't it? I really want to see you soon, and I want to be able to act spoiled and pamper you!

Thinking of this, Baili Xuance said excitedly:

"Then please take me to find my brother quickly!"

"No, I still have things to do," Mulan said, shaking her head.

"Your brother is at the Great Wall. You can go to the Great Wall to find him by yourself first, or wait here for me to come back and take you to find him. That's all, goodbye."

Hua Mulan glanced at the corpses all around her and prepared to leave. Her current task was to investigate the origin of the demons who hated the Great Wall. She would leave the simple task of finding her brother to Baili Xuance.

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

Baili Xuance called out to Hua Mulan with suspicion. He had thought she was deliberately luring the bandits into an attack, but it seemed that wasn't the case. He had a feeling that things weren't so simple, so he pressed her for answers.

"You know about the Demon Seed, right?" Mulan stopped and said without turning her head.

"Yes, I know. In particular, some demons have eyes full of hatred. I really don't know what they've been through to have such emotions."

The thought of the deep hatred in the eyes of those demons he had seen seemed to suggest that they were born for this purpose. Hatred was their driving force, and the intense negative emotions they felt were driven by the desire to destroy everything they hated. Baili Xuance hated being abandoned and deeply resented his brother who had abandoned him. But even Baili Xuance felt a chill in his heart. Even the hatred he felt for his brother, whom he cared for the most, for abandoning him was less than one percent of their hatred.

He may not have experienced as much misery as they did, but he felt they were pitiful, living their entire lives in hatred. Perhaps their hearts would never find peace while they were alive, and only death could extinguish the endless fire of anger in their hearts.

"Good to know. I'm going to investigate their origins. It's very dangerous. Go to the Great Wall and find your brother. It's been so long. It's good to reunite soon." Mulan waved her hand, preparing to continue her investigation.

Source? Is it that dark hole in Jinting City? I once saw it from afar, and many demons jumped out from there, their eyes filled with hatred. My master always forbade me from getting close, but he himself always went there every now and then. He's so cunning, never taking me with him!

Baili Xuance thought to himself with dissatisfaction.

Is she also going to Jinting City? She's so strong, and her goal is the same as her master's. Perhaps she can help her master. It's also a good opportunity to tell her master that she's found her brother. Although she really misses him, it's not too late to see him later. Let her go help her master first.

Watching Mulan's departing figure, suppressing the longing in his heart, Baili Xuance made a decision.

"Big sister, wait a minute! I know the origin of the demon seed. I can take you to find it!" Baili Xuance shouted to Hua Mulan, who was about to walk away.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to know. Alright, lead the way." Hua Muhua stopped, turned around, and said readily.

"You agreed so quickly, aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?"

Bai Li Xuan Ce was surprised that Hua Mulan would agree so readily and trust him. He thought that she would doubt him after he said these words. Is this the Great Wall Guard?

"Of course I'm not afraid. I know Xuan Ce is a good kid, unless he doesn't want to see his brother again."

Mulan said with a smile, her tone relaxed, yet exuding an irresistible sense of pressure.

“Ah! I understand. Xuan Ce is definitely a good boy. How could he possibly lie to you? I'll take you there right away.”

Baili Xuance trembled, swallowed hard, and broke out in a cold sweat. He realized that this woman was not to be underestimated. She had not only praised him but also found his weakness in the most incisive way. She had done so without any guilt and was threatening him with a smile on her face. A level 13 expert was terrifying!

But there's no going back now. Facing Mulan, who has him under her thumb, Baili Xuance feels a kind of pressure, like facing a strict parent. This makes him seem somewhat passive, like a child who has been disciplined, meekly leading her to their destination, Jinting City.

……

Soon, Baili Xuance and Hua Mulan had ventured deep into the heart of the desert.

"Is the source of the demonic seed you mentioned originating from this Golden Court City?"

Hua Mulan, who was being led by Baili Xuance, asked, "Although we are still some distance away, I can already see the dilapidated state of Jinting City."

However, it is indeed highly possible that Jinting City was originally the most developed city and prosperous center of the Cloud Desert, but the king's excessive pursuit of supreme power brought about disaster. The disaster did indeed start from Jinting City and spread, eventually affecting the entire Cloud Desert. Only the Great Wall and the Protectorate remained as a pure land. Demon seeds also began to appear and increase after the disaster. Perhaps it was all a result of that power. It seems this trip was worthwhile.

Although she expressed doubts, Mulan knew in her heart that she was 90% certain that this was the place she was investigating.

"Yes, I once saw a huge black hole in Golden Court City from a high place. All the demon seeds jumped out of it, and it seems that there is someone who shares your goal. Perhaps you can cooperate."

Baili Xuance said as he led the way, secretly plotting to lure his master out.

"Look, it's just ahead." As they passed a dilapidated archway building, Baili Xuance pointed in the direction of Jinting City.

Suddenly, a sandstorm swept up, obscuring Jinting City, and then violently blew towards Baili Xuance and Hua Mulan.

"Master!"

Baili Xuance shielded himself from the wind and sand, and with his eyes barely open, he saw a familiar figure and subconsciously spoke.

The master-disciple relationship was only Baili Xuance's one-sided thought. The other person did not acknowledge this relationship and never responded to it, always keeping to himself. This also affected Baili Xuance's ability to teach him survival and self-preservation skills.

"Hey, long time no see, Lanling King. I haven't thanked you for your support in that last battle yet." Hua Mulan greeted Lanling King, but her eyes were full of vigilance.

"It's just for my own benefit that I'm temporarily letting your Great Wall Guards go," Lanling King revealed himself, coldly snorting disdainfully.

In an instant, Baili Xuance realized that Hua Mulan and Lanling King were not strangers meeting for the first time, and the two seemed to be at odds.

Is it the enemy? I feel like I've done something wrong, what should I do? Will my master be very sad and think I'm a traitor? Or will he praise me for luring the enemy here, making it easier for him to deal with them...?

Baili Xuance was lost in thought.

"But you, Xuan Ce, actually brought the enemy here."
