**Chapter 113: The Test of Loyalty**

Chen Beixuan's eyes locked onto Xuan Yuchen, his mind racing with questions. How did she survive the catastrophic event that claimed the lives of their entire clan? And why did she seem to be hiding secrets?

"You're alive," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "I thought you were dead."

Xuan Yuchen's gaze flashed with a mix of pain and guilt. "I am alive, but my memories... they're fragmented. I don't remember much about our clan or our lives before the disaster."

Chen Beixuan's expression turned skeptical. "That's suspicious. What do you know about the Nine Stars' Body Arts?"

Xuan Yuchen's eyes flickered, and for a moment, Chen Beixuan saw a glimmer of something that looked like panic. "I... I don't know what you're talking about."

A cold, calculating look crept onto Chen Beixuan's face. "Don't lie to me, Xuan Yuchen. You're telling me that after all these years, you suddenly reappear, claiming to be my sister, and yet you know nothing about the Nine Stars' Body Arts? That's too convenient."

Xuan Yuchen's face fell, and for a moment, Chen Beixuan thought he saw genuine sadness in her eyes. "Beixuan, please—"

Chen Beixuan cut her off, his voice icy. "You're going to tell me everything. Right now."

As Xuan Yuchen began to explain, Chen Beixuan's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with the implications. He wasn't sure if he could trust his sister, but he knew one thing for certain: he wouldn't let her get away with hiding secrets.

Just as Xuan Yuchen finished speaking, a faint rumbling sound echoed through the forest, growing louder with each passing moment. Chen Beixuan's head snapped up, his instincts on high alert.

"What's that?" he asked, his voice low and urgent.

Xuan Yuchen's eyes darted nervously toward the sound. "I... I don't know. But we need to get out of here. Now."

As the ground began to tremble, Chen Beixuan's eyes locked onto his sister, his grip on his sword tightening. He had a feeling that their reunion was about to take a deadly turn. And he was ready to defend himself against whatever secrets his sister might be hiding.
