My sister is Luna

"Li Bai, and Yao, why are you fighting?" Upon arriving at the Star Gazing Platform, Cain saw the lively martial arts competition and couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, it's Brother Cain! Come quickly and stop them!" Zhang Taixian said hurriedly when he saw his savior arrive.

“Alright, after all, I came here to see Li Bai about something.” Cain nodded.

"Hey, you two, talk this out! Why are you resorting to violence? Violence won't solve anything, it'll only hurt you." Cain drew his sword and intervened in the fight, finding himself caught between the two.

"Cain, you've come at the right time. You be the judge. This brat took my sword and acts like he's in the right. Don't you think he deserves a beating?"

Seeing that Kaiyin had come out to mediate, Li Bai lost his desire to continue fighting and teasing, and pointed at Yao with an annoyed expression.

“Teacher Cain, you’ve come at the right time. You be the judge. This guy attacked me out of nowhere and even impersonated my idol. Don’t you think he deserves a beating?” Yao also pointed at Li Bai and said sternly.

"You!" Li Bai glared at Yao.

"Hmph!" Yao tossed his head.

“Hey, Li Bai, why are you arguing with a kid? Besides, I remember someone threw the sword to Yao during the competition. Your sword was in your own hand then, so how can you say he took your sword? Hmm… you weren’t drunk that day, were you?” Cain sighed helplessly as he watched the two of them arguing.

Regarding this sword incident, Cain is quite certain that the Azure Lotus Sword that Yao is currently holding was thrown to him by someone during the competition. He just doesn't know who threw it. He recalls that Li Bai seems to love drinking. Could it be that he was drunk and threw the sword to Yao himself? That's a possibility.

"Cough... Well, that brat didn't return it to me after the match either!"

Li Bai coughed lightly, having been correctly guessed by Cain. He knew, of course, what a muddled state he would be in when drunk, mainly because he had no recollection of it.

"I don't think I saw you when you lost the sword, so how are you going to return it..." Cain complained.

"Wait, Li Bai, teacher, is he really Li Bai?!" Suddenly, Yao seemed to realize something, interrupting Cain's words, looking at him, and then at Li Bai.

Looking at that handsome face that was exactly the same as described in the report, and his elegant swordsmanship in battle, coupled with Cain's words, Yao became more and more convinced that this was a possibility.

“Yes.” Cain nodded.

“Genuine, without a doubt.” Li Bai proudly raised his head.

"Idol!" Yao's eyes sparkled like stars as he suddenly pounced on Li Bai, as if he had become a completely different person.

He never dreamed that his idol, Li Bai, would appear in front of him. It was such a pleasant surprise!

"Hey, you brat, stay away from me!" Li Bai said disdainfully. He forcefully pried open Yao's back.

"Idol, here's your sword back. I'm sorry about what happened before, hehe..."

With a fawning smile on his face, Yao approached Li Bai and handed him the Azure Lotus Sword. Then, with a somewhat naive smile, he was overjoyed to see his idol.

"You're quick to admit your mistake, kid. I'm not that petty. I'll let it go this time."

Li Bai took the Green Lotus Sword, looked at its pure white and shiny blade, and his anger subsided considerably. He waved his hand.

"Such magnanimity, no wonder he's my idol!" Yao gave a thumbs up, wanting to spend more time with his idol.

"Idol, idol, your swordsmanship is so amazing, could you teach me?"

"Hmm, it seems the crisis has been resolved," said Master Lu Ban.

Seeing the atmosphere gradually improve, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief.

“Brother Li Bai, where have you been all this time? I haven’t seen a trace of you.” Zhang Taixian walked up to him.

"Li Bai, I'm also your fan. Can I get your autograph?" Sun Bin blushed and shyly walked up to him.

"I want one too," Meng Ya said, looking a little embarrassed.

Who hasn't dreamed of wandering the world with a sword? Li Bai's romanticism, his ethereal poetry, and his free and unrestrained swordsman style are the dreams and role models that these young people aspire to.

"Of course," Li Bai said with a smile, taking out his brush and paper.

Write a line of poetry on it in a flowing, elegant style—

"Everyone has their own unique talents, and even if I spend all my money, it will come back again."

This could be considered the best encouragement for these students who are still in school.

"Thank you!" Sun Bin said, his face flushed with excitement.

"Wow, Sun Bin, you're so cunning! I haven't even asked for an autograph yet! And it's a poem written by my idol?!" Yao grabbed Sun Bin's shoulder and poked his bouncy cheek.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere, Cain smiled and decided to wait until they finished talking before he would talk to Li Bai.

"Teacher." At this moment, Jing, who had seen the battle had ended, walked over with her long legs.

"Oh, it's Mirror. You've recovered quite well," Cain said, looking at Mirror who had regained her health.

"Yes, I have to thank you for your help, teacher." Mirror stood straight in front of Cain like a well-behaved child.

"Sigh, don't always shoulder things alone in the future... We'll all help you."

Cain patted her head with a doting look. Her silvery-white hair was so soft and smooth to the touch that he unconsciously started to see her as a little sister.

"Mmm." Faced with Cain's intimate gesture, Jing did not resist, but a blush flashed across her face.

"Sis, why is your face red?" Yao noticed it with his sharp eyes. It was the first time he had seen Jing like this, and he came over in surprise to ask.

"It's none of your business." Jing resumed her indifferent demeanor.

"Yao, you're coming to Xuanyong with me tomorrow." Jing used the tactic of changing the subject.

"Why?" Yao asked.

"You've been selected for the chosen ones list, so of course you're going to go and gain experience."

"Well, it seems like it's finally my time to show my skills!" Yao seemed to be really looking forward to his time in Xuan Yong.

"Kain, you didn't come here just to see the scenery, did you?" After finally dealing with the enthusiastic fans, Li Bai said to Kain.

“Of course.” Cain nodded.

"Actually, it was the Master who asked me to find you, saying that he had something important to discuss."

"Important matter?" Li Bai's eyes narrowed. The only important matter that had come to him was that one. It seemed that the Master had finally solved the problem.

"Let's go."

……

Dean chamber.

“Master, I have brought Li Bai here, so I will head back now,” Cain said as he brought Li Bai over.

He knew that the journey to the Tower of the Sun awaited Li Bai.

"You stay here too, Cain. I need to tell you the same thing, after all, there's strength in numbers," the old master said with a smile. Judging from his demeanor, he had been waiting here for quite some time.

"Master, have you deciphered the inscription on the core of the Ark?" Li Bai asked.

"It's solved. The key to miracles, the North, the Tower of the Sun. This is the first clue. Only by getting the key there can I unlock the next clue. It's a chain."

The old master's expression was serious. He absolutely dared not be careless when it came to the matter of Emperor Jun's miracle. He still vividly remembered the tragic battle thousands of years ago and was determined not to repeat the same mistake.

"We must collect and protect all the Miracle Keys before Dijun does, even if it means destroying them as a last resort."

"This matter cannot be made public for the time being; it must be carried out in secret to prevent those with ulterior motives. Tomorrow, I will issue a secret recruitment notice to form a small team to go to the Tower of the Sun. Cain, are you willing to set off with Li Bai for the peace of the continent?" The old master looked at Cain, staring intently at him.

"Wait a minute, there's something I want to tell you."

Cain hesitated for a moment before speaking. He decided to tell them about Hell, since this third-party force might disrupt their plans. It would take too much time for him to search the entire continent alone; he needed more help. It was better for them to know sooner so they could prepare for the worst, especially after encountering the Eye of Hell, which only strengthened his resolve.

"Please speak," the old scholar said, having discerned Cain's thoughts.

"It's about hell. I first encountered it in..." Cain slowly began to speak.

"Based on what you've said about this Hell, it is indeed an unknown force. No existing ancient texts record their existence, not even the Tower of Babel knows of them. However, their presence is evident in the demonic armor you wear, the Dark Tyrant you encountered at the Great Wall, the vampires you met in Chang'an, and the Eye of Hell you encountered at the Tower of Babel. They are indeed not to be underestimated, and we cannot focus solely on Di Jun," the old master analyzed solemnly.

"Actually, when I was in the Dream Ring that day, I discovered one of my opponents, Miyamoto Musashi, but it wasn't the original Miyamoto Musashi. It seemed like an imposter. This is what my swordsman's intuition told me. So he was the hellish creature you mentioned. I never expected he could impersonate someone else." Li Bai recalled the person he saw when he was drunk that day and clicked his tongue slightly.

“I also discovered that he had tampered with Yao, causing Yao to fall into a demonic state. If Cain hadn’t woken Yao up, Yao might have gone astray. I wanted to capture him after the competition, but I found that he had disappeared. This hellish creature you mentioned is indeed very powerful. It’s amazing that he wasn’t discovered in Jixia Academy.”

The old master said. He was a powerful figure who had stepped into the realm of demigods, the strongest person in the world now, yet someone had managed to escape from him and even appeared in the Tower of Babel without being detected. This shows that there is a demigod, or even a god-like being, behind this hell, and that it is extremely destructive and dangerous.

This is troublesome. I didn't expect such a force to exist, right beneath this vast continent. Huan Zhongmeng had sensed something was amiss before, but didn't take it seriously. Their current goal is most likely to destroy miracles, and they will also kill humans to become stronger, which conflicts with our goals. We can't let this go unchecked.

The old master thought to himself with a heavy heart that this force that had suddenly appeared before him had become one of the heavy stones weighing on his heart.

“Then let’s split up. Li Bai will go to the Tower of the Sun, and I’ll investigate Hell,” Cain suggested.

"Very well, both matters shall be handled in secrecy. Be careful in all matters, and if you encounter any difficulties, please feel free to tell us," the old master said. And so the two matters were settled.

"The future of the mainland is in your hands, my children."

The old master patted the two on the shoulders. If it weren't for his duty to guard the academy and the Tower of Babel, especially since Hell existed there, he would have even wanted to go there himself. Now, all he could do was educate more talents to help them and increase their chances of winning in the future.

"Yes!" Cain and Li Bai exchanged glances and said in unison.

At this moment, the real journey begins.
