Chapter 3422 — Sisters Reunited

"Ah? I..." Qiu Lingshan was instantly flustered. "He's... very busy. I didn't bring him. Next time, all right?"
"That won't do! Didn't we agree? My brother-in-law has to get past me first—otherwise I won't acknowledge him as my brother-in-law!" Song Lingwei said. "Sister, you haven't forgotten our old pact, have you?"
"He's very formidable. I'm afraid you'd be no match for him," Qiu Lingshan said.
"Me? No match?" Song Lingwei was briefly startled, then remembered that Qiu Lingshan still did not know she was a great-consummation expert at the peak of the late Heaven Rank. She had only asked Qiu Lingshan to bring her brother-in-law back; she had never spoken of her own strength.
So she could not help but smile. Without explanation, she gave a light flick of her fist at a broken stone in the courtyard. There came a great crash, and the stone shattered into pieces—and her strength stood revealed: external-school expert at the great consummation of the late Heaven Rank at its peak!
Qiu Lingshan could scarcely believe her eyes, staring dumbly at her sister in utter disbelief. An external-school expert at the great consummation of the late Heaven Rank at its peak was rare indeed throughout the whole cultivation world—and her own sister was one?
In recent years, though Qiu Lingshan had not seen her sister, they had kept in touch by phone, on and off. This sister, whom she had thought merely joined a mercenary organization, actually possessed such formidable strength?
Qiu Lingshan felt suddenly embarrassed. Wei Zhao was formidable, yes, but before her sister—a true, solid external-school expert at the great consummation of the late Heaven Rank at its peak—he could hardly surpass her; and she herself had just said her sister was no match for him, which was truly mortifying.
"You... Xiao Rui, what have you been through all these years? How could your strength advance so swiftly?" Had Qiu Lingshan not felt Song Lingwei's power with her own body, she would never have believed it real. Even if Song Lingwei had told her over the phone before, she would certainly have taken it for a joke.
"Hehe, my brother-in-law is even stronger than me? Then I really must see him for myself!" Song Lingwei said with a grin, without answering Qiu Lingshan's question—she did not want her sister to change the subject.
"Xiao Rui, stop this. With strength like yours, testing someone is just bullying them," Qiu Lingshan said with a frown.
"Well, he can't be too weak either, can he? No—we agreed on it, and I insist on seeing my brother-in-law!" Song Lingwei said, refusing to let it go.
"There'll be a chance, I suppose..." Qiu Lingshan said rather helplessly. "For now, can you tell me what you've been doing all these years?"
"All right, I'll let my brother-in-law off for now..." Song Lingwei nodded with a smile and began to recount her experiences over the years. Now that she was back with the Song family, there was no need to keep these things hidden.
Song Lingwei told it all in detail, from the time she entered the mercenary organization and took part in the devil's trial—especially that time in the devil's trial when she obtained the inheritance, only to be surrounded and attacked. Had the people of the Overseas Cultivators' Association not helped her escape, she would likely have died there before she could even digest the power of the inheritance.RS
