The Way of the Sword

Miss Song couldn't resist this indignant Zemin Yan tsundere who pouted at such cold words, so she kissed his soft cheek and hugged her even tighter. Zemin Yan wanted to run away, but Miss Song looked like a giant octopus with strong, sticky tentacles.

"I'll tell you everything you want to know, at least everything you can know by now. Big brother will kill me if I tell you something that puts your life on the line. "Miss Song began to speak as her little brother's little face turned black with anger at being taken advantage of.

"Big brother?" Asked Zemin Yan, distracted by Miss Song's words, his small face becoming a little better. 

"Little Yan, you have three older brothers. Me, the big sister and the big brother. The older brother is in the Song Family and has a lot of power within the family, he said we couldn't go after you since that was a wish from our parents. I could only mourn and hope you would come to our sect after the test! I even tricked Elder Han into going there, just so you could go home! "Said Miss Song full of pride and justice, but still a little sad and angry, as she had a very ugly fight with her older brother over this one subject, almost every week they went to the Sword Arena to "discuss" that subject.

Miss Song could only blame herself for being weak, she often tried to sneak in to see her little brother, but her older brother had always kept an eye on her movements and she was almost always grounded inside the Song Family house.

"What are you talking about? Did Elder Han know about me? "Asked Zemin Yan even more confused. This older sister was not good with explanations!

"Master Han didn't know about your existence in Village 10, if he did, he would have come for you. Master Han and our parents were very close friends, the kind of friendship that is like blood brothers raised by the same family. I had to trick Master Han into bringing his old rivalry with another Elder, so he would go to that rural place, "explained Miss Song a little awkwardly, she even blurted out Han Yie's status to her.

This was also the fault of the older brother, who forbade anyone in the Song Family to leak information about his parents and about Zemin Yan to anyone outside the family. Even Elder Han was put in the dark about this information, though he did not believe in the death of his best friend. 

Zemin Yan noticed this little slip, but didn't comment, he had a lot to think about. Did this older brother hate him? So you left him in that ancient forest? Or did their parents have unspeakable secrets that had to separate their children?

"Little Yan, it's not just you that is lost and away from home. The older sister disappeared around the same time our parents took you from the Celestial Sword Sect, "said Miss Song slowly, she had a distant look as if recalling a painful past.

"Wait… Was I already part of the Heavenly Sword Sect? I was born there? Did our parents take us away? "Zemin Yan spoke with agitation in his voice. He was very surprised by all this information. In fact, he was born with a platinum spoon of the gods in his mouth, but ended up eating mud in a rural village? 

This is crazy! Okay? His head started to hurt at this information, the Song Family, Heavenly Sword Sect, Elder Han, Soulful Ring, hostile elder brother, all of this was tied to his mysterious parents, how many more secrets will he discover?

"That… Yes, you and I were born there in the sect, our older brother and sister were not born there. I am the third daughter and you are the fourth son. About our parents, I can't talk much about them, as that would be bad for you to know now. I can only say that at the time you were only four years old and that a catastrophe happened to our parents, they very desperately drove us away, but things got out of control and I the older brother separated us from them while we were being chased by an unknown force… Then we never saw them or the big sister again." Miss Song's voice was calm, but her damp eyes betrayed her mood, but Zemin Yan didn't know that since he couldn't see his sister's face correctly. 

"What can you tell me?" Asked Zemin Yan a little more controlled, he knew he couldn't demand anything from this older sister after all, even if he had more information and then what? He had no strength to demand revenge or the power to investigate. So for now, it was better not to know so as not to feel his heartache from helplessness.

"Not much. But our Song Family is one of the five main families of the Heavenly Sword Sect, also known as five founding families and three assistant clans. These are people who in the generation of the ancestor helped build the sect and fight against the devilish devils and beasts in the Dark Age. Our Song Family has a special status because our soul power is so strong everyone in the family has the sacred energy, which is very rare among humans, "said Miss Song, selecting information that would be helpful but commented on other people would not be something that put Zemin Yan's life in danger.

Zemin Yan was once again surprised, he knew he had the sacred energy, but he thought the cause was Sying and his soul contract with a sacred beast. However, now he was doubting that.

"I was very surprised and happy when the news of a sacred energy user appeared among the novices. When I got the data and the location, my big brother and I knew it was you, little Yan! I was surprised that you awoke the sacred energy so young, after all, the youngest to awaken this sacred energy was 15 years old and it was me "said Miss Song proudly, she was very proud of Zemin Yan, she wanted to scream to the world : "This talented genius is my cute brother!"

"How old do Song Family people normally arouse sacred energy?" Zemin Yan asked curiously, but he used a cool tone to talk about the Song Family. It was inevitable, this family abandoned him and he was angry with this family.

"Well, normally, the young people between the ages of 20 and 30 awaken the sacred energy, while the oldest to awaken that energy was 40 years old. As we cultivators live many, from 10 years to 20 years our Song family builds the foundation of young cultivators for the awakening of sacred energy. So when I awakened the sacred energy at age 15 I was considered a prodigy within the family, "said Miss Song sighing, she felt Zemin Yan's hostility towards her own family, but she could not complain or fight with her little brother. In fact, if he wanted to, she would join in and swear at the whole Song Family if it made her little brother happy!
