Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Confessing One’s Background

After more than two hours had passed, inside the Li City Governor’s Mansion, Governor Lan’s Reincarnation advancement was still ongoing.

"Sister Lan, when will the Governor be able to break through to become a Reincarnation Realm Expert?" Ye Lingyue was also becoming impatient; this was her first time witnessing the breakthrough of a Reincarnation Realm Expert.

"Father might not necessarily become an expert of the Reincarnation Realm—he still needs to overcome at least one Reincarnation Tribulation," Lan Cai’er said with a worried expression.

Martial arts training is divided into Body Refinement Ninth Layer, Postnatal Third Stage, Innate Three Stages, Elixir Realm dual elixirs, and Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Among these, the breakthrough from the Elixir Realm to the Reincarnation Realm is the most critical. A slight carelessness can result in severe injuries or even sudden death.

Because advancing in the Reincarnation Realm requires invoking a part of the Power of Nature, namely the Six Paths Reincarnation Tribulation.

The so-called Six Paths Reincarnation Tribulation refers to the tribulation formed by the condensation of the natural elements Metal, Water, Wood, Earth, Fire, and Thunder during the breakthrough to the Reincarnation Realm.

Only those who have at least passed through one type of Reincarnation Tribulation can be called a strong person of the Reincarnation Realm.

"Not only that, during the Reincarnation Tribulation, anyone not involved in the tribulation must stay far from the Reincarnation Light Column, or else they will be completely annihilated by the Power of Reincarnation," Lan Cai’er said, her expression growing even more anxious.

Beside her, the Governor’s Wife had turned deathly pale.

Inside the Reincarnation Light Column at this moment, fierce flames had already appeared.

This time, Governor Lan had triggered the Fire Tribulation from the Six Paths of Reincarnation. The scorching flames, covering the sky and earth, engulfed Governor Lan.

Unable to withstand the shock, the Governor’s Wife fainted.

Worried that her mother couldn’t bear it, Lan Cai’er quickly ordered a maid to take the Governor’s Wife away.

Inside the Reincarnation Light Column, Governor Lan’s skin was severely burnt, and blisters deformed his originally heroic face, turning him unrecognizable; his flesh also sizzled as it burned.

Even the usually brave Lan Cai’er was terrified, and she couldn’t help but grab Ye Lingyue’s hand.

From Ye Lingyue’s palm, a cool sensation spread, calming Lan Cai’er’s restless heart considerably. She then looked up again at Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue, beside her, was staring at Governor Lan inside the Reincarnation Light Column. In her eyes, there was no fear, but instead, a kind of desire burst forth.

In Ye Lingyue’s eyes, those flames seemed like nothing at all.

It was a thirst for power. The Reincarnation Realm, this was the Reincarnation Tribulation. She wondered when she would have the chance to challenge the Reincarnation Tribulation.

Looking again inside the Reincarnation Light Column at Governor Lan, he truly was a tough man; undergoing such mentally and physically devastating Reincarnation Fire Tribulation, Governor Lan didn’t utter a sound and silently endured.

Encouraged by her father and Ye Lingyue, Lan Cai’er gradually calmed down.

Inside the column, the Fire Power was slowly dissipating.

Until the sky was completely bright, Governor Lan’s Reincarnation Fire Tribulation was truly successful.

What surprised Ye Lingyue was that Governor Lan’s damaged skin and muscles, after the end of this Reincarnation Fire Tribulation, quickly regenerated.

As he stood up and walked towards Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er, he seemed to have been reborn anew.

It was as though he had suddenly shed several years, his tall stature and imposing aura faintly reminiscent of the once invincible General Lan Yingwu of Daxia on the battlefield.

Just like the very name ’Reincarnation Tribulation’ suggests, Governor Lan had been reborn from fire in this Reincarnation Fire Tribulation.

"Father." Seeing Governor Lan once again alive and standing before her, Lan Cai’er couldn’t help but rush forward and sob.

She thought she had lost her father forever.

"Haha, my dear daughter, you’re so grown up, yet you’re still crying like a child—aren’t you afraid your friends will laugh at you?" Governor Lan laughed heartily, seemingly unchanged, yet the look he gave Ye Lingyue was profound.

Ever since he was injured on the battlefield and it took a long time to heal, Governor Lan had doubted if there was something wrong with him.

It was only at this moment, when Ye Lingyue used Cauldron Breath to kill Fang Hao, that the real cause of Governor Lan’s illness was discovered.

He had accidentally drunk the dregs of the Rainbow Five Treasures brew, and although he seemed unconscious, there was still a sliver of consciousness.

How could he not know of the fierce battle between Ye Lingyue and Fang Hao?

Yet he was still unclear how Ye Lingyue had managed to kill an evil Alchemist, who was far superior in strength and experience.

"Father, if you tease me further, I won’t talk to you anymore." Lan Cai’er glared at her father.

Lan Yingwu chuckled, stroking his daughter’s head, as father and daughter seemed joyful and harmonious.

Ye Lingyue watched from the side, feeling a moment of daze.

She seemed to remember, there once was someone, who had also doted on her like a loving father... Ye Lingyue thought, bitter-smiling.

"Stupid girl," Ye Lingyue had only her mother’s love; as for that scumbag father Hong Fang from the Hong Residence, he had never treated her as his daughter.

"Congratulations Uncle Lan, on your breakthrough in the Reincarnation Realm." Ye Lingyue and Lan Cai’er were close as sisters, thus skipping formalities and directly addressing him as Uncle Lan.

"Ling Yue, there’s no need for ’Uncle’ anymore. This time, the blessings within the disaster were all because of you. Father, seeing how well I get along with Ling Yue, why don’t you and mother adopt her as your daughter, so she and I can be sworn sisters?" Lan Cai’er had always wanted siblings since childhood, but unfortunately, her father was often on the battlefield and never had another child.

This had been her greatest regret for years, and she had not expected to meet a good sister like Ye Lingyue in Li City. She had long wanted to become sworn sisters with Ye Lingyue, but feared her parents might disapprove.

Now that Ye Lingyue had given her father a huge favor, surely he wouldn’t refuse.

"You girl, I have no problem with it, go and discuss it with your mother. If she agrees, instead of choosing another day, why not today—today we shall set a banquet at the governor’s mansion to celebrate that our Lan Residence has gained a daughter." Governor Lan was straightforward.

Lan Cai’er, couldn’t wait to find the Governor’s Wife.

As soon as Lan Cai’er left, Lan Yingwu’s expression became more solemn.

"Ling Yue, thank you for saving my life today. I only have one daughter, and I hope that you truly desire to become sworn sisters with Cai’er." Governor Lan had found Ye Lingyue extraordinary from the first moment he met her.

But he did not think of her as a bad person, for the child had pure eyes; Lan Yingwu believed someone with such eyes couldn’t harbor ill intentions.

"Uncle Lan, rest assured on this matter. Although I approached the governor’s mansion with a motive, it would never implicate Sister Lan. To be frank, my real name is Hong Lingyue, and I am the eldest daughter of the bastard Hong Fang from the Marquis Hong Mansion, one of the Four Great Nobles of Daxia." Ye Lingyue no longer hid her identity, and recounted the full story of how she and her mother were driven out of the Hong Residence, leaving them hurt and foolish.
