This was the first time Le Yu had heard of someone else's tribulation.
In Huiyao, a tribulation is a very private matter, a secret that not even spouses or close relatives can share. The reasoning is not hard to fathom: a 'tribulation' concerns one's own spiritual power growth, and once discovered by others, it becomes a vulnerability that can be exploited.
Take Qian Yuliu's tribulation for example: 'To have dinner with Qian Yuya, with a maximum interval of 120 hours.'
For such a tribulation that has a single required person, that unique individual is the 'Tribulation Master' for the Tribulation Crosser, holding immense significance to them.
Before Qian Yuliu completes Crossing the Tribulation, if Qian Yuya were kidnapped, preventing Qian Yuliu from dining with her within 120 hours, all of Qian Yuliu's prior progress in Crossing the Tribulation would go down the drain and be completely ruined.
