Chapter 2

"Non-Return Forest, I must go to the Non-Return Forest!" Chen Hui said, immediately standing up. There was no time to waste; he had to head to the Non-Return Forest right away.

"Stop, what did you say? Brother, you want to go to the Non-Return Forest? Do you really want to die?" Chen Yan, hearing Chen Hui's words, quickly stopped him. "Brother, what's wrong with you? You barely survived, and now you want to go to your death? I won't allow it!"

As she spoke, Chen Yan's chest heaved dramatically, and her face carried an indescribable air of authority, clearly showing her urgency and anger towards her brother.

Chen Hui was momentarily stunned. In his haste, he had almost forgotten about the young girl in front of him, who was the original owner of this body's sister and his only family in this world. Seeing the concern in the girl's eyes, Chen Hui was deeply moved. This was family, the kind of concern that only his master could give him in his previous life.

Their mother had passed away long ago, and their father, Chen Qin, was a powerful ninth-rank warrior who served in the army of Qiulang City. He had achieved many feats and earned numerous honors, holding the position of deputy commander in the city guard.

However, three years ago, Chen Qin died in a battle against a beast.

Since Chen Qin was a commoner by birth, even after becoming a noble in Qiulang City, he was not well-received in the noble circles. Therefore, upon his death, the siblings were left without support, and soon many people began to bully them.

The siblings ignored these people. Chen Yan did not want to cause trouble; her only goal was to become a high-rank warrior as quickly as possible to restore her father's glory. The original owner of this body, on the other hand, had only one dream: to be with Li Si, which was rather unreasonable...

Chen Hui glanced at Chen Yan, who had turned her head away, her eyes slightly red. After a moment of contemplation, he finally said, "Chen, little sister, don't worry. I'm just going to find something; it won't be dangerous."

"Hmph, I know you're going to look for the saber-toothed beast again. Go ahead, you're so strong. A mere fourth-rank peak saber-toothed beast, how could it possibly be your match?" Chen Yan suddenly became agitated, her concern for Chen Hui evident.

"No, little sister, I'm not going to look for the saber-toothed beast. I'm going to find something I lost."

"What? You're not going to look for the saber-toothed beast? Are you sure?" Chen Yan's gaze turned to Chen Hui, and her tone lost its previous anger.

"Of course!" Chen Hui nodded.

"Then tell me what it is." Chen Yan did not doubt Chen Hui. Although he often made her feel helpless, she could see no redeeming qualities in him. However, Chen Hui had one quality she appreciated: he never lied to her and was always good to her.

Chen Hui shook his head. "Sorry, I can't tell you, but don't worry. I know where the thing is, and I'll be back soon. Don't worry, it won't be dangerous."

"Well... then I'll go with you, brother." Chen Yan still insisted.

"No, I'll go alone. I'll be back soon." Chen Hui shook his head.

"Alright. Brother, be careful." As she said this, she suddenly remembered something. "Ah... I almost forgot to tell you. Jiang Lin is celebrating his successful pursuit of Li Si and is hosting a banquet at the Hongbin Restaurant. He has invited many people, including you. It's tonight. Do you want to go?"

"No... What? Celebrating his successful pursuit of Li Si?" Chen Hui had casually said he wouldn't go, but then he thought about it. Since he was in someone else's body, and the previous owner had died because of Li Si, he felt he should do something. He also wanted to see the woman who had driven the original Chen Hui to enter the Non-Return Forest. His eyes flashed with a cold light, and he stopped in his tracks. "I'll go. Such an important event, I can't miss it. After all, I have a history with Li Si. Alright, I'm leaving..."

Hearing Chen Hui's quick agreement, Chen Yan was taken aback. She never expected him to agree. After a moment of hesitation, she advised, "Brother, maybe... I think you shouldn't go. There are plenty of women in the world. Why fixate on one? We, the Chen family, can't let others look down on us."

Although she said this, Chen Yan was actually worried that Chen Hui might do something drastic because the woman he loved had chosen another man.

"Thank you. But don't worry. Li Si's choice is her own. I used to like her, but now I should go to give her my blessings. Besides, Jiang Lin invited me. If I don't go, it would look like the Chen family can't handle a loss. Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Chen Hui could see what Chen Yan was worried about, but her concerns were unnecessary. After experiencing a major setback, Chen Hui had become much more composed. He had just arrived in Dongzhou and lacked the strength to provoke unnecessary trouble. He would avenge the previous owner's death eventually, but there was no rush. There was plenty of time.

Chen Yan's eyebrows raised. Could it be... Brother no longer likes that snobbish woman? Yes, he must have been enchanted by her before. Now, after this ordeal, he has seen her true nature. If he still liked her, there would be something wrong with his mind.

"Let's go. We'll head to the Hongbin Restaurant now." Seeing Chen Yan staring at him, seemingly deep in thought, Chen Hui felt helpless and stepped out of the room first.

"Brother, wait for me..."

...

The cold moon hung high in the dark sky, and Qiulang City, bathed in moonlight, was bustling with activity.

"Qiulang City... Qiulang Martial Academy... I never thought Chen Hui would have such a bad reputation at the Qiulang Martial Academy. Fortunately, his reputation hasn't spread throughout the city, or I might be pointed at behind my back." As he walked, Chen Hui had fully digested Chen Hui's memories, feeling somewhat helpless. This Chen Hui was not only a slow and useless cultivator but also a fake rich kid.

He was called a fake because he had no powerful background. He once had a good father, but he died in a beast's claws a few years ago.

"Brother, don't get into a conflict with Jiang Lin. He has never treated us well, and today he might find an opportunity to make things difficult for us." Chen Yan, standing beside him, reminded Chen Hui with some concern. After all, the other side had many people and was much stronger.
