" Bai Susu? This senior sister's name is quite cute!"
Hu Ke'er said as she watched Bai Susu's departing figure.
"Cute? Bai Susu is well - known for her strength in our sect. She even once defeated someone from the generation of uncles! But then again, it's normal that you don't know her. After all, you just joined recently, and she went to another sect for further study three years ago."
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, Chen Tianyi said nonchalantly.
"Eh—Is this senior sister really that powerful!"
Although Chen Tianyi had said before that Bai Susu's cultivation realm was on par with those of the uncles, Hu Ke'er didn't expect her strength to be that formidable.
"Yeah!"
Chen Tianyi said softly.
"Moreover, when Bai Susu fought against the uncle back then, she was only at the Soul Formation Realm. It was a leap - level challenge!"
"She's so powerful!"
If so, Bai Susu's current strength should be even stronger than before. No wonder Senior Brother Chen couldn't block the attack of that middle - aged man earlier. After all, the gap in strength was too great!
"Um."
Chen Tianyi nodded.
"But let's not worry about this for now. Let's go find your master first to check on your current physical condition."
"Okay."
Hu Ke'er responded softly and then followed Chen Tianyi back to the Flying Tiger Hall.
"Stinky girl, stinky boy, you two are back quite quickly!"
Uncle Zheng said, squinting his eyes and sipping his wine.
"So, did you gain anything from the Thousand Snow Abyss this time?"
"Uncle, take a look at Junior Sister. Her condition has returned to normal, but I'm still a bit worried."
Chen Tianyi turned his head and glanced at Hu Ke'er.
"Girl, stretch out your hand."
"Okay."
Hu Ke'er obediently stretched out her hand and placed it on the table in front of her. Then her master gently felt her meridians.
"Not bad. Your meridians have been expanded by spiritual energy, and your physical body contains a certain amount of spiritual power. You can start training your body now."
Her master smiled after feeling her pulse.
"Great! Does that mean I can start cultivating immortality now?"
Hearing her master's words, Hu Ke'er smiled happily.
"Stinky girl, don't be too happy too soon. This is just the first step of cultivation. It can't even be considered a real start."
Her master's words were like a bucket of cold water, dousing Hu Ke'er's high - spirited enthusiasm.
"Ah, really? This is only the first step? I almost lost my life! At this rate, when will I be as powerful as Bai Susu?"
"Bai Susu? You've seen Bai Susu?!"
Hearing Hu Ke'er's words, her master put down the wine gourd in his hand and said excitedly.
"Yes. We saw her in the Thousand Snow Abyss, right, Senior Brother?"
Hu Ke'er was startled by her master's reaction. Worried that she might be wrong, she turned her head slightly to look at Chen Tianyi.
"Yeah, it was indeed Bai Susu. We saw her fighting a middle - aged man in the Thousand Snow Abyss. But they were too powerful, and we would only be a burden there, so we came back first."
Chen Tianyi said truthfully.
"Bai Susu. She's been missing for so many years. I didn't expect her to be in the Thousand Snow Abyss..."
"Missing? Didn't you say before that Bai Susu went to another sect for further study?"
Hearing his master's words, Chen Tianyi frowned slightly.
"Well, that's just a story for you younger generations. Three years ago, Bai Susu suddenly disappeared for no reason. After all, she was a prodigy and the leader among the younger generation of the sect. So our generation all helped to look for her, but we never found her. We had no choice but to say that the then - prominent Bai Susu had gone to another sect for further study. I didn't expect that after all these years, you two would find out where this girl is. This is a serious matter. I'll go find the sect leader. You two can play by yourselves."
After saying that, the after - image of her master dissipated right in front of them, leaving Hu Ke'er and Chen Tianyi looking at each other in dismay.
"Senior Brother Chen, what's going on..."
Seeing her master leave in such a hurry, Hu Ke'er frowned slightly.
"I'm not quite sure either, but there seems to be more to this story!"
Chen Tianyi said, frowning and thinking.
"It does seem quite strange. Senior Brother, you said that the Thousand Snow Abyss is a place where disciples are sent only when they are punished. If Senior Sister Bai Susu is really that powerful, why would she go there? And who is that middle - aged man in black armor? Is he a demon? But he doesn't seem like one..."
Hu Ke'er fired off a series of questions.
"Now that you mention it, it is strange. But this matter is beyond our control. Let your master handle it!"
Chen Tianyi said softly.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you. Bai Susu is your real senior sister."
"Ah?"
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er was stunned and frowned slightly.
"What do you mean, Senior Brother?"
"I mean that Bai Susu is also a disciple under your master."
Chen Tianyi said softly.
"Eh—"
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er was a bit surprised but then showed an expression of understanding.
"No wonder!"
"What?"
"No wonder master was so excited when he heard the news of Bai Susu. It turns out she's my fellow - disciple senior sister!"
Hu Ke'er muttered with a pout.
"Um, is little junior sister jealous?"
Seeing Hu Ke'er's expression, Chen Tianyi joked.
"Of course not!"
Hu Ke'er quickly denied it when she heard Chen Tianyi's words.
"By the way, I really didn't expect my master to be so powerful that he could train such an excellent senior sister as Bai Susu! Senior Brother Chen, do you think I'll ever be as powerful as Senior Sister Bai Susu in the future?"
"No, you won't."
Chen Tianyi shook his head.
"Eh—"
Hearing Chen Tianyi's words, Hu Ke'er pouted.
"I'll work very hard. I will definitely be as powerful as Senior Sister Bai Susu!"
"Um, I didn't mean that. I think little junior sister will be more powerful than Senior Sister Bai Susu in the future!"
Chen Tianyi said.
"Why?"
Hu Ke'er tilted her head.
"Because the novel things you made before made me see the possibility of a transformation in this world in the future!"
"Uh, heh heh, it's okay."
Hu Ke'er scratched her head awkwardly. In fact, she wasn't the one who invented these things. She just modified them based on the original ones to fit the spiritual energy of this world.
"Actually, I'm really not that great. By the way, Senior Brother, how can I reach the same realm as Senior Sister Bai Susu?"
