Chi Qingtian’s request!

“We shouldn’t be close, right? Why would you come to Beidou Holy Land to find me?”

Although Xu Ying had some guesses in his heart, he still pretended not to know and asked.

Some things still needed the other party to cooperate and speak out.

He didn’t want to be kept in the dark.

“Cough, cough!”

Chi Qingtian’s face suddenly showed an embarrassed expression, as if he was a little shy.

Xu Ying became interested in something that could make this Double-Pupiled One feel embarrassed.

However, he didn’t continue to ask, only lingering his gaze for a moment before waiting.

“It’s like this.” Chi Qingtian finally couldn’t hold back, and after much deliberation, he said, “Xu brother, I came to visit you because there’s something I need to ask of you.”

“What is it? Speak!”

“This matter starts with our Chi Family. In the Eastern Region, our Chi Family is at least an Eternal Family. In ancient times, an Emperor even appeared, but unfortunately, there was a historical discontinuity.”

“More than ten years ago, two Saint Body level Prodigies appeared simultaneously in our Chi Family: one with a Supreme Bone gestating within them, and the other a natural Double-Pupiled One.”

Chi Qingtian spoke softly, but Xu Ying heard a hint of bitterness in his words.

He seemed to have some guesses, and Chi Qingtian continued, “However, all the Old Ancestors of our Chi Family wanted the Double-Pupiled One to receive the Supreme Bone, to merge the two great Saint Body level talents into one, to contend for a generation’s Heavenly Mandate for the Chi Family!”

“To protect their child, the parents of the Supreme Bone even voluntarily went into a Forbidden Area in the Eastern Region to search for Emperor-level Spirit Medicine, just so the Supreme Bone could survive well. But they entered the Forbidden Area and never came out again.”

“And after the Double-Pupiled One heard about this, she was very angry and told the Old Ancestors that the Double Pupils were originally an invincible path, and then the matter was dropped.”

Chi Qingtian paused, his pair of double pupils meeting Xu Ying’s eyes, and he softly said, “This matter is the story of me and Senior Apprentice Sister Qingning.”

“Because Senior Apprentice Sister Qingning’s parents entered the Forbidden Area and were never heard from again, she completely severed ties with the Chi Family.”

“Xu brother, regarding this matter, I have always maintained my opposition within the Family. I already have Double Pupils, so why would I need to borrow someone else’s bone!”

After listening, Xu Ying was silent for a moment.

Goodness, it really was a classic Family affair, but the probability of such things happening was indeed too high.

Those old antiques who had lived for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, how could they not know the power of a Saint Body level Prodigy? If they could merge two into one to create a young Emperor, no one would probably be unwilling.

“Then shouldn’t you go find Senior Sister Chi? Why come to me!”

Xu Ying asked, he didn't seem to have any dealings with the Chi Family, did he?

Chi Qingtian, however, smiled sheepishly and said, “Hehe, Xu brother, I heard from Beidou Holy Land that you and my sister have a good relationship.”

“They even said that you might be in a relationship with my sister, and perhaps one day you’ll become my brother-in-law.”

“Xu brother, could you please put in a good word for me then?”

Hearing this, Xu Ying’s eyelids twitched, and a helpless expression appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The two of them looked at each other in silence, one expectant, the other speechless.

Finally, Xu Ying replied, “It’s not that I don’t want to help you. Your Family affairs are not something an outsider like me should meddle with.”

“Moreover, Senior Sister Chi and I are fellow Senior Brothers and Sisters of the same Holy Land. Whether I help kin or help reason, I cannot be swayed by you.”

“Brother Chi, I am sorry, but I am powerless.”

Hearing Xu Ying’s concise refusal, Chi Qingtian’s eyes dimmed, revealing disappointment.

However, before leaving, he bowed and said, “Regardless, thank you, Xu brother!”

Watching Chi Qingtian’s departing back, Xu Ying shook his head.

He couldn’t manage such Family affairs; after all, every Family has its own difficulties.

Even he himself was trapped within it.

“The Wang Family, I’m coming soon!”

Xu Ying thought of seeing his mother soon and unconsciously curved his lips.

He was also very fortunate that although his parents’ story was melodramatic, at least the Xu Family was very capable.

The entire Xu Family worked together, overcoming difficulties, and it was precisely because of this that Xu Ying felt a sense of belonging in this world.

...

...

The next day, Xu Ying awoke.

His first action was to check the daily intelligence; he didn't continue to store simulation attempts.

[Daily Intelligence Refreshed:]

[1: Chi Qingning’s parents are working as mine slaves in the Black Mountain Forbidden Area. (Specific information sent)]

“Hmm?! It actually refreshed with information related to Senior Sister Chi!”

Xu Ying’s mind suddenly cleared, his eyes widened, and he began to read carefully.

Black Mountain Forbidden Area is a Forbidden Ground in the Eastern Region of the Profound Yellow Great World. It is said that each Forbidden Ground has different Forbidden Ground rules.

For example, in this Black Mountain Forbidden Area, the cultivation of those who enter will be suppressed to the Physical Body Realm; even a Quasi-Emperor Realm would not dare to enter lightly.

“Legend has it that this Black Mountain Forbidden Area was formed by the fall of an ancient Emperor. Can an Emperor still possess such Divine Ability after death? It’s a bit incredible!”

Xu Ying was filled with reverence for the Black Mountain Forbidden Area. Although Senior Sister Chi’s parents were working as mine slaves inside, at least their lives were not in danger.

This was good news, but he had to find a way to tell Senior Sister Chi.

[2: The Double-Pupiled One, Chi Qingtian, has a Divine Power Stone in his Storage Ring, which contains an ancient Divine Ability.]

“Divine Power Stone!”

“As expected of a Double-Pupiled One, they always have some Luck accompanying them!”

“Chi Qingtian is already in the Dao Palace Realm. Can I trade with him?”

Xu Ying pondered that Chi Qingtian’s personality was still relatively gentle, at least towards him.

He could try it then. After obtaining this Divine Power Stone, he would be one step closer to mastering ten Divine Abilities.

Ordinary Cultivation Techniques in the Cultivation Technique Pavilion could also cultivate Divine Abilities, but he didn’t have that much time to wait, and most importantly, the Divine Abilities cultivated from these Cultivation Techniques were too ordinary!

[3: Ten days later, Willow Poetry, the True Disciple of Yaochi Holy Land, will bring three Emperor Sons and Emperor Daughters to the Wang Family to observe the Tianlong Pool.]

“Has information about this Heavenly Mandate Empress been refreshed?”

“Huh, they’re also going to the Wang Family to observe the Tianlong Pool!”

“No, this Empress’s goal should be to enter the Tianlong Pool, which means this Tianlong Pool is an Opportunity!”

Xu Ying stroked his chin, pondering Willow Poetry’s thoughts.

As the only one who knew Willow Poetry was the Reincarnation of the Heavenly Mandate Empress, he naturally knew that her standards were very high.

Moreover, the Wang Family’s Tianlong Pool generally wouldn't allow outsiders to enter, but Willow Poetry bringing three Emperor Sons and Emperor Daughters to the Wang Family was probably to leverage her influence.

“Hehe, if that’s the case, Willow Poetry can enter the Tianlong Pool.”

“Then I, Xu Ying, can also go in!”

What’s more, he also had half of the Wang Family’s Bloodline.
