Chapter 1063: Chapter 1063: Zhuge Lian

The Ziyi girl, in just a few brief sentences, had unwittingly exposed her innocent and pure nature.

In the Martial Dao World, where human hearts are unfathomable, the likes of such a character, if venturing alone, without formidable strength to protect oneself, could face extreme danger.

Especially since Ziyi girl possessed an Innate Spiritual Root, if some ill-intentioned male Martial Artists stronger than her took notice, the consequences were unimaginable.

Because male Martial Artists of the True Martial Realm were aware that cultivating together with a Female Martial Artist who had an Innate Spiritual Root could yield better results than any Essence Stone Elixirs in the world, which was enough to drive many male Martial Artists mad.

Ziyi girl’s Cultivation Level was only at Desolate Level Perfection. Although this strength could contend with leaders of fourth-rank Sects, if she encountered higher-ups from third-rank Sects or Loose Cultivators with Vast Level Cultivation or above, she was no match.

However, judging from the style of Ziyi girl’s clothing and the embroidered pattern on her chest, she was definitely a disciple of a major Sect, presumably under the protection of a Sect’s powerhouse.

Nevertheless, Bai Fang, whose Divine Sense Diffusion spanned over two thousand meters, detected no Martial Artist’s presence nearby, which made him wonder secretly if Ziyi girl had left her Sect and sneaked out alone.

Based on Bai Fang’s experiences in his previous life, he judged that since Ziyi girl was new to the world, unaware of the height of the sky and the dangers of the world, it was very likely that she had sneaked out without her fellow disciples knowing. It was unlikely she’d escape unscathed.

Thinking of this, Bai Fang couldn’t help asking, "Young lady, which Sect’s disciple are you?"

"Hey, hey, hey, Brother Bai Fang, I asked you first," she hadn’t answered me yet, why are you turning the questions on me? There’s an order to things, don’t you know the rules?"

Ziyi girl, seeing Bai Fang’s counter-question, got a bit upset, holding her Willow Leaf Saber in one hand and placing the other on her slender, soft waist, she said irritably.

Bai Fang uttered "Oh," then pretending to look baffled, he said, "This Fire Primordial Qi you talked about, I haven’t sensed it; this Fire Attributed Treasure, I have not seen it; and that I took some treasures, that’s simply framing me!"

Ziyi girl’s gaze was fixed on Bai Fang’s face, seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, she furrowed her pretty brows and mumbled, "Could I be wrong? Impossible... My senses have always been sharp, I clearly sensed a strong Fire Primordial Qi here just now..."

"Young lady, is it your turn to answer my question now?"

Bai Fang asked with a smile.

"Don’t call me young lady!"

Ziyi girl was clearly particular about being called "young lady," she said dissatisfied, "I have a name, it’s Zhuge Lian... Lian as in cherish... you can call me Xiao Lian, or Lian’er, that’s what my Sect mates call me. I am a Direct Disciple of the Xuannv Sect..."

Zhuge Lian’s voice, clear and crisp like oriole, chattered away incessantly like a string of firecrackers, revealing her identity without any reservation, seemingly unconcerned if Bai Fang might have ulterior motives.

"Meeting me, a stranger, yet having no guard up... Truly an innocent young lady devoid of cunning and guile! Such a girl, who could bear to harm her?"

Looking at Zhuge Lian before him, Bai Fang was reminded of Shi Xiaolian, a little girl from Shigong Village in the Secular World.

Zhuge Lian and Shi Xiaolian both had the character "Lian" in their names, similarly innocent as a blank sheet of paper, endearing and too heartbreaking to harm.

"Wait, your name is Zhuge Lian?"

Fang Bai’s mind suddenly flashed with brightness, and his hands reached out, grabbing Zhuge Lian’s shoulders as he asked anxiously, "Is your name really Zhuge Lian?"

"What are you doing? Men and women shouldn’t touch each other, let go of me now! Also, you’re hurting me! Ow... Bai Fang, let go!"

Zhuge Lian was caught off guard when Fang Bai grabbed her shoulders, causing her cheeks to flush slightly. Then, the pain from her shoulders made her cry out in a tender voice.

Fang Bai then realized he had gotten a bit too excited, and quickly released the grip on Zhuge Lian’s shoulders. He carefully examined Zhuge Lian’s facial features, comparing them in his mind with someone else, and indeed, found a few similarities between their features.

Years ago in the secular world, Fang Bai had teamed up with the Daoist Wu De to find the tomb of an innate expert. At that tomb, a testament revealed that the expert’s name was Zhuge Dingtian, a loose cultivator from a minor world.

From Zhuge Dingtian, Fang Bai had obtained numerous cultivation resources and a Blood-Drinking Mad Blade. Out of gratitude, he had made a promise in front of Zhuge Dingtian’s remains that, if given the opportunity to go to the minor world, he would find Zhuge Dingtian’s pregnant wife and inform her of his demise.

Fang Bai still remembered that, according to Zhuge Dingtian’s last words, his wife was named Zhou Yuruo, the daughter of Zhou Ruoshui, the Ruoshui Palace Master from an innate sect within the True Martial Realm.

Zhou Yuruo and Zhuge Dingtian were deeply in love and had pledged their lives to each other, but faced fierce opposition from her mother, Zhou Ruoshui. Eventually, the couple had no choice but to elope, and Zhou became pregnant during their escape.

Zhou Ruoshui believed that Zhuge Dingtian had tricked her daughter with sweet words and kidnapped her, and in her fury, she sent disciples from her palace to kill him. For the safety of his wife and unborn child, Zhuge Dingtian had revealed himself to distract the assassins from the Ruoshui Palace and had named his unborn daughter Zhuge Lian before leaving.

Later, by a strange twist of fate, Zhuge Dingtian entered the secular world. Although he evaded the pursuing disciples of the Ruoshui Palace, he eventually deviated in his cultivation and died, never getting the chance to reunite with his wife and daughter. Thus, he left his last words in his tomb, hoping that a destined person would fulfill his final wish.

Fang Bai was a man who valued his promises; whether Zhuge Dingtian was dead or alive, since he had made a promise, he would definitely try his best to fulfill it.

Upon suddenly hearing the name "Zhuge Lian," Fang Bai instantly thought of Zhuge Dingtian, which had caused his emotional outburst.

Back when Zhuge Dingtian had died, although his body was surrounded by a large amount of spiritual medicine, the Essence Energy released from the spiritual medicine had preserved his corpse, making his facial features look lifelike, a vision Fang Bai remembered vividly.

Now, looking at Zhuge Lian again, Fang Bai found that between the features of her and Zhuge Dingtian, there indeed was about a fifty to sixty percent resemblance, making it quite possible that she was indeed Zhuge Dingtian’s daughter.

"Zhuge Lian, what are your mother’s and father’s names?"

To ensure he wasn’t mistaken, Fang Bai asked further.

"Why are you asking this? Why should I tell you?"

Zhuge Lian, seeing Fang Bai’s anxious demeanor, felt weird and a bit cautious.

Fang Bai took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Zhuge Lian, and said seriously, "Your mother is called Zhou Yuruo, and your father is Zhuge Dingtian, right?"

Zhuge Lian’s eyes suddenly widened, her tender lips half-open, her face showing utter disbelief.
