Ding Songyan hid nothing. Standing on the bustling street, he told the Lü siblings:
"One is called the Cosmic Union Chapter, and the other is called the Book of Returning to Silence.
"The former is a little like the Emperor Xi Sect's Record of the Years and Stars, but with the power of the Six Harmonies added. The latter brings all arts back into one."
He did not use Taotie's ability to "dissolve all things" to help the Lü siblings understand the Book of Returning to Silence, because the corresponding legacy belonged to the Returning Ruins Sect, one of the Upper Nine Paths of the Twenty-One Paths of Evil Demons, and was called the Returning Ruins Divine Art. Comparing the two could easily make people shrink back, afraid they were straying onto a heterodox path.
"The Record of the Years and Stars..." Lü Huaijin still looked bewildered.
Her knowledge extended only as far as Guangning Prefecture, encompassing the Yellow Millet Sect and Xiaoming Sect at most.
"A martial art that cultivates the Dao of time," Ding Songyan said very succinctly.
Time... This left Lü Huaijin and Lü Woyu both bewildered and yearning.
It sounded very powerful.
Ding Songyan considered for a moment, then said:
"But you can't choose the same martial art. You must each choose a different one."
Rather than rushing to ask whether the siblings were willing, he asked in a conversational tone:
"If you really did join, which would each of you want to choose?"
"I'll let my sister choose first," Lü Woyu answered without hesitation.
Lü Huaijin thought for a while, then smiled shyly.
"I'd choose the Cosmic Union Chapter. The Dao of time sounds very, very powerful."
Ding Songyan went on:
"You needn't worry. Even if you join a branch, you'll still be Xiaoming Sect
