Chapter 226 Lily's Departure

Orion had returned to their new home, feeling a sense of pride and excitement after his first day at the Celestial Harmony Sect. He couldn't wait to explore all the places Elder Winston had told him about and improve his skills as a cultivator.

As he entered their small living room, he found his younger sister Lily sitting on the couch, lost in thought. He could tell she was trying to distract herself from her worries, and he knew exactly what was on her mind.

"Brother, do you forget something?" she asked as she looked up at him, a curious expression on her face.

Orion shook his head, a small smile on his lips. "No, I didn't forget anything. I just wanted to tell you something."

Lily's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Oh? What is it?"

Taking a deep breath, Orion explained. "Well, Lily, tomorrow morning, you will be going to the junior class."

Lily's eyes widened in surprise. "What? Me? But I'm not a cultivator like you, brother."

Orion reassured her. "It doesn't matter, Lily. The junior class is for beginners, and you will be learning the basics. It will be a great opportunity for you to learn about the sect and its practices."

Lily still looked hesitant, but she nodded slowly. "Okay, if you say so, brother."

Orion grinned, feeling proud of his sister's courage. "The disciple will get you tomorrow morning, and be sure to pack your things up."





Lily smiled back at him, and for a moment, everything felt right in the world. They had come a long way from their small village to this grand sect, and it was all thanks to Orion's talent and hard work.

"I will miss you there," Lily said, her voice softening.

Orion's smile faltered a bit as he realized that his sister would be on her own for the first time since they arrived at the sect. He knew it was irrational, but he couldn't shake the feeling that he needed to protect her, to keep her safe from harm.

Orion took a deep breath, trying to push his worries aside. He knew that he couldn't keep his sister sheltered forever. She had to learn to stand on her own two feet, just like he did when he first arrived at the sect.

"It's okay, Lily. You'll do great," he said, putting on a brave face for her.

Lily nodded, still looking a little apprehensive, but Orion could see the determination in her eyes. She was ready for this new challenge, and he knew she would succeed.

As the night wore on, they spent their time packing up Lily's things and talking about what she might expect in the junior class. Orion tried to answer all of her questions as best he could, but he knew that he was only scratching the surface of what lay ahead for her.

Finally, it was time for bed. Orion gave his sister a hug and wished her a good night's sleep before heading to his own room. As he lay in bed, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. He knew that Lily would be fine, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something might go wrong.

Orion woke up early the next morning, feeling a mix of excitement and apprehension. He knew that today was the day his sister would start her journey as a disciple in the Celestial Harmony Sect. As he got ready for the day, he couldn't help but think about the conversation he had with Elder Winston the day before.

He knew that Lily would be taken care of, but he still couldn't help feeling a bit anxious about her living with the other juniors. He knew that she was strong and capable, but the thought of not being able to protect her made him feel uneasy.

As they finished getting ready, Orion saw that a disciple had arrived to escort Lily to her new home in the junior class. He watched as his sister gathered her things and followed the disciple out the door.

"Good luck, Lily!" he called out after her, his voice filled with pride and excitement.

Lily turned and smiled at him. "Thanks, brother! I'll miss you!"

As he watched her walk away, Orion felt a sense of pride and sadness mixed together. He was proud of his sister for taking this step and pursuing her dreams, but he couldn't shake the feeling of loss, knowing that she would no longer be living with him.

He tried to push the feeling aside and focus on his own training. He decided to head to the Martial Arts Hall to continue honing his skills.

The Martial Arts Hall was a large, open building with high ceilings and thick pillars. Inside, there were several training areas set up, each with its own set of equipment and space for cultivators to practice.

Orion walked in, taking in the sights and sounds of the place. He saw several other disciples already training, their bodies moving with fluid grace as they practiced their techniques.

He walked over to a free area, stretching his limbs and getting ready to begin. He started with some basic movements, focusing on his breathing and feeling the energy flow through his body.

As he trained, he couldn't help but think about Lily and how she was doing in her new home. He wondered if she had made any friends yet and if she was enjoying her training.

But he pushed those thoughts aside, reminding himself that he needed to focus on his own training if he wanted to succeed in this sect.

Orion walked into the Martial Arts Hall, taking in the sights and sounds of the place. He had been looking forward to this moment since Elder Winston had introduced the different places within the Celestial Harmony Sect.

The hall was vast, with high ceilings and smooth, polished floors. The walls were adorned with intricate tapestries and banners depicting legendary warriors and cultivators. The air was filled with the sound of bodies moving, the rustle of clothes, and the occasional grunt of effort.

Orion made his way over to a free area, feeling a sense of excitement building within him. He was eager to see what he could learn here, to push himself to new heights and become an even stronger cultivator.

He started with some basic movements, stretching his limbs and getting his blood flowing. He focused on his breathing, feeling the energy flow through his body.
