1692 Falling into the Falling Gold Pond, Who Wins and Who Loses (1)
This was also why he asked such a question. He put the things he didn’t care about in the past in his mind now. He saw them now! He had been growing constantly along the way!
“Kid, I’m very gratified that you can ask me such a question right now. That girl of the Yun family has a good influence on you.” The leader of the Naxi family raised the corners of his mouth and leaned back. His dignified and cautious face seemed to be relieved of something. He heaved a deep sigh. Instantly, Qu Lanyi suddenly felt that his father had aged dozens of years.
“Back in the ancient times, the four powerhouses of mankind founded the four ancient families single-handedly. Four special bloodlines were passed down and continued to this day.” The leader of the Naxi family said slowly. Qu Lanyi listened quietly. This was the first time the old man talked about the four families. “The four bloodlines are all special, and among them… the Yun family and Naxi are the two bloodlines that are closest. The Yun family has the summoner bloodline, and the bloodline of the Naxi family is also related to Magic Beasts.”
The leader of the Naxi family raised his head and looked at Qu Lanyi deeply. “The summoner bloodline makes Magic Beasts yield and obey, and become the help of humans. The bloodline of the Naxi family can imprison and restrain Magic Beasts, or even take away their abilities completely.”
Qu Lanyi’s black eyes widened! The leader of the Naxi family said again, “The tamers right now can be said to be a branch of the bloodline of our race, but their abilities aren’t pure after all. The tamers have only learned the surface of our abilities. The Yun family can be said to be a kind of positive energy for Magic Beasts, while the Naxi family is completely negative. So… the source of Magic Beasts’ hatred for humans doesn’t come from summoners, but from the abilities of our clan.”
Qu Lanyi frowned and remained silent. The leader of Naxi continued, “The ability of the Naxi bloodline has tortured the Naxi family. Especially the Magic Beasts. They hate us to the core. Even though the Naxi family hasn’t attacked the Magic Beasts since a long time ago and rarely uses such an ability, the seed of hatred has already been planted.”
“The reason why we went into seclusion was to protect ourselves?”
The leader of the Naxi family sighed softly. “It’s not easy to truly protect people in this world. I didn’t want the Naxi family to be troubled by worldly affairs again, but we couldn’t escape after all.” The leader of the Naxi family pointed at the white jade pendant on the table. “The light-element Fantastical Beast sealed in this jade pendant is indeed something that the powerhouses of the Naxi family did a long time ago. It’s been circulating until now, but not everyone can get close to it, wear it, or even control it!”
“So… Old man, you can’t control it either?” Qu Lanyi was surprised! The leader of the Naxi family chuckled. “If I could, I wouldn’t have given it to you. After all, Naxi is very similar to the Yun family in many ways. Just like the summoner bloodline of the Yun family, power is hidden deep in the bloodline. Not everyone’s ability can be activated. The abilities of the Naxi family are the same. Among the entire Naxi family, you’re the only one whose bloodline power has been completely stimulated.”
Qu Lanyi’s black eyes darkened. “So, I have the ability to imprison, restrain and even deprive Magic Beasts of their abilities?”
“Haha, kid, do you think you can have this ability just like that? You’ve only unlocked about ten percent of your ability right now. What you can do is only a short-term control. Besides, your physique of light and darkness restricts you a lot.”
Speaking of light and darkness, Qu Lanyi remembered what Feng Qingxuan told him. “Old man, I’m not the first person of the Naxi family to have light and darkness in the same body.”
The leader of Naxi was slightly stunned. “How did you find out?”
Qu Lanyi’s face froze. As expected! “Don’t bother how I found out. If I’m not the first person, why didn’t you and those elders mention it? Are you hiding something on purpose?”
The leader of Naxi’s face darkened and he was silent for a while. “I don’t know about this. After all, it happened a long time ago.”
“Then I’ll ask the elders!”
The leader of Naxi’s body stiffened! “Lanyi! How can you meet the elders just because you want to?”
Qu Lanyi’s breathing became heavier. “Old man, I already know what will happen to the body of light and darkness in the end. If that’s what you want to hide, it’s meaningless.”
The leader of the Naxi family’s body tightened and then completely relaxed. Helplessness and pain flashed through his face. “It’s good that you know.”
Qu Lanyi subconsciously thought that the old man was hiding something from him. There might be something he didn’t know about the power of the Naxi bloodline! “Old man, I…”
“Alright, that’s all for today. I still have a lot of things to deal with. I’ve already understood why that girl of the Yun family came. Give me time to think.” The leader of the Naxi family waved his hand and asked Qu Lanyi to leave without hesitation. Qu Lanyi was silent for a few seconds before he turned around and left. The old man wasn’t willing to say anything. He wouldn’t be able to get anything even if he asked.
“Take the jade pendant,” said the leader of the Naxi family. Qu Lanyi took the jade pendant and left. After he left, the leader of the Naxi family heaved a deep sigh and rubbed his aching forehead with his hand. “Blood Souls… Perhaps it’s time to consider what that girl of the Yun family suggests…”
In the next few days, Yun Feng stayed in Qu Lanyi’s house and waited patiently. Even though Qu Lanyi was as happy as usual with Yun Feng, Yun Feng always felt that he was inexplicably heavy in his mind. The solemnity he showed occasionally didn’t escape Yun Feng’s eyes. Yun Feng wanted to ask what was wrong, but she didn’t know what to say.
A week had passed, but the leader of the Naxi family was still busy. Qu Lanyi wasn’t in a hurry at all. Yun Feng, on the other hand, was a bit anxious. She had to get the recognition of the leader of the Naxi family in the shortest time possible. After all, there were still two other clans that she had to fight over. It wasn’t a solution to stay in the Naxi family any longer.
Yun Feng also knew that she couldn’t rush this matter, but she had to. The development of the Blood Souls was still going on. If she delayed, wouldn’t she give the Blood Souls more opportunities to develop?
On this day, Qu Lanyi wasn’t in the house. Even though he spent most of his time with Yun Feng every day, Qu Lanyi still had the identity of the Young Master after all. He had to do something actively to help Yun Feng.
“Yun Feng! Yun Feng! Are you in there?” Suddenly, a few loud shouts came from outside. The voices were very arrogant and carried obvious anger. Yun Feng stood up. The shouts outside were still going on. “I know you’re in there! Come out!”
