79: Huan Shen's life experience
Everyone sat on the square, waiting for the second round of assessment to begin.
Fu Liang walked over to Lu Ze and found that the latter was constantly frowning, lost in thought.
"What's wrong, Young Master Lu?"
Fu Liang handed him a bottle of water and asked.
Lu Ze looked up at Huan Shen in the sky.
Huan Shen was currently meditating with her eyes closed. She sensed Lu Ze's gaze, frowned slightly, but made no other movements.
Fu Liang seemed to understand what Lu Ze was thinking and said, "Young Master Lu, she is Huan Shen."
Qin Wan and the others nearby, with their sharp ears, immediately gathered around when they heard this.
"Huan Shen? From the Huan Family? The Huan Family of the Ten Generations, Three Division Chiefs?"
Tang Chenyi asked as soon as he stopped walking.
Fu Liang gave him an exasperated look, "Is your Tang Family doing so poorly now? Are there any other families named Huan? Do you even need to ask?"
Qin Wan and Song Wushuang, hearing this, involuntarily looked up at Huan Shen in the sky, a sense of awe growing in their hearts.
Ten Generations, Three Division Chiefs—these five short words alone had established the Family's status in the entire Demon Subduing Division, and even throughout Huaxia.
In ten generations, three Demon Subduing Division Chiefs had emerged!
"Although it's called Ten Generations, Three Division Chiefs, they were all Municipal Demon Subduing Division Chiefs. It's only in the past few decades that their Family advanced to Yanjing."
Fu Liang continued, "However, there's been a rumor that the Division Chief at the headquarters isn't in very good health and they're already preparing to select the next Division Chief. The current head of the Huan Family is one of the candidates, and they are now very popular in Yanjing, with many Family forces gravitating towards them."
Even a Municipal Demon Subduing Division Chief possesses power and authority that stands at the Peak of humanity!
This shows the profound heritage of the Huan Family!
"This Huan Shen..."
Fu Liang thought for a moment before finding the words to describe her, "Quite eerie."
Everyone's attention was drawn by Fu Liang's description.
Lu Ze frowned, "Eerie? How so?"
Fu Liang lowered his voice slightly, "It is said that this Huan Shen was born amidst a beast tide triggered by a Demon King! At her birth, the originally dim night sky suddenly saw a blood moon rise!"
"As the beast tide approached, Huan Shen's mother prepared to sacrifice herself, forcibly tearing open a spatial rift for Huan Shen to escape. But after Huan Shen's mother died, that Demon King sealed the spatial rift, forcibly pulling out Huan Shen, who had already passed through!"
"It was at this moment that Huan Shen actually opened her eyes, with one pupil black and one white. The blood moon also intensified at this time, and blood rain fell from the sky, which was extremely bizarre! For some unknown reason, that Demon King placed Huan Shen on the ground and then summoned all the demons to leave."
"And Huan Shen was rescued by a Senior from the Huan Family who passed by shortly after, and she has been raised in the Huan Family, now becoming one of the strong cultivators of this generation of the Huan Family."
After listening to Fu Liang, everyone nodded.
Lu Ze suddenly asked, "So, this person has no blood relation to the Huan Family?"
Fu Liang replied, "Yes, Huan Shen's name was also given by the Huan Family. As for Huan Shen's biological Family, it seems the Huan Family has no way of finding out."
Lu Ze chuckled, "No way of finding out? How could there be no way of finding out? Ever since the Demon Subduing Division was established, every person in the Human Base has been officially recorded, with detailed records of their life and death. How could there be someone untraceable? And if the rumors are true, Huan Shen's mother could tear space. A person with such cultivation would surely have left their name in this world, right?"
"Either someone has concealed something, or this person's ancestors never lived in the Human Base."
Everyone agreed with these words.
What Lu Ze said was indeed correct.
Anyone living in a Human Base, from the moment of birth, has their fingerprints, blood, and other data uploaded to the gene bank. All data is uploaded in real time to the database at the Yanjing headquarters and preserved permanently!
Even children born to humans who coincidentally survived a destroyed Human Base can be matched from the gene bank. How could it be impossible to find any familial relations?!
It was clear that the Huan Family had slightly concealed something regarding Huan Shen's familial relations.
As for why they concealed it, that was not something they could know at the moment.
Fu Liang suddenly spoke, "I heard that Huan Shen's eyes are very strange; she can't see bright colors. I don't know if it's true or not, but if I had the chance, I'd really like to ask her. Young Master Lu, do you think if I asked her, she would tell me?"
Lu Ze didn't answer. Qin Wan, beside him, rolled her eyes, "If you want to ask, go ask now. You'll know if she slaps you. Don't you think asking that question is presumptuous?"
Fu Liang shut up. Although he was very curious, if he asked now, he probably wouldn't get an answer, and perhaps if Huan Shen was unhappy, she might make things difficult for him in the assessment, which would be troublesome.
Lu Ze frowned, seemingly deep in thought.
He always felt a strange, inexplicable connection to this person.
This feeling was as if... they were destined to be of the same kind.
He always felt that in the future, everyone would leave him, even Fu Liang would depart, but this person, whom he met for the first time, would stand by his side!
Lu Ze didn't understand why he had such thoughts; they were quite ridiculous.
He suppressed the thoughts in his mind, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to meditate.
The others also sat down, resting and waiting for the next round to begin.
And at this moment!
Huan Shen in the sky slowly opened her eyes. She looked down, staring at Lu Ze, and her pupils began to rotate slightly.
Just as Fu Liang had said, she could not see colors. In her eyes, there were only three colors: black, white, and gray.
This was a side effect of the powerful strength these eyes gave her: never being able to see a colorful world!
She had thought that it would always be like this in the future, but today, she discovered that it seemed not to be the case!
She locked her gaze on Lu Ze's face. She clearly saw a bright red on Lu Ze's face!
This streak of red was very abrupt, enveloping Lu Ze's entire face. She even had to look closely to see Lu Ze's features hidden beneath this red.
Huan Shen didn't understand why, among all the people she had seen, only Lu Ze was like this.
But she vaguely felt that this seemed to mean she *could* see colors, only that it required some method, and what method that was, she was not yet clear.
However, her curiosity about this Lu Ze had been piqued.
"Lu Ze..."
Huan Shen softly uttered Lu Ze's name. No one around heard the sound.
