Chapter 69: Luo Family Pupil Technique

Luo Qingtong smiled reassuringly at her grandfather's anxious expression.

"Grandpa, I haven't had the chance to tell you. After I became blind, I discovered a secret technique that allows me to see people through pupils formed by my mental power. That's how I managed to escape the dangers of Jiuwu Mountain."

She cleverly linked her unique abilities with the traditional pupil techniques of the Luo family. While the family's skills might be considered advanced here, they were elementary to her. Born with blood pupils, Luo Qingtong found these techniques instinctual, almost inscribed in her DNA.

However, she kept these thoughts to herself. The Luo family's training methods provided a perfect disguise for her capabilities, ensuring no one would question her unusual powers.

"Resurrection of a dead body is far too strange, even for this world," she thought, preferring to keep her secrets hidden.

"So that's how!" Mr. Luo exclaimed in relief and excitement.

He had always believed in Luo Qingtong's potential to master their ancestral pupil techniques, especially given her naturally distinctive eyes which matched the family lore—that those born with unique eyes were predestined to excel in eye skills.

Now, seeing her safe and even thriving after such an ordeal, he felt blessed.

Luo Qingtong had always been the prime candidate to inherit the Luo family's legacy, expected to revive their glory through her eye skills. If not for her previous close ties with Luo Xinning, Mr. Luo would have introduced her to these secrets earlier. The family rules dictated that direct descendants be at least fifteen and show aptitude in eye techniques before being initiated into these mysteries.

But with Luo Qingtong's supposed loss of sight and her fallout with Luo Xinning, Mr. Luo had set aside the ancestral stipulations. He believed that even if she couldn't practice the eye techniques, gaining access to other soul skills would be beneficial.

His granddaughter had supposedly died and returned; what use were old rules to him now?

He hadn't anticipated that Luo Qingtong would unlock such a significant aspect of their heritage despite her blindness.

"Good! Very good!" Mr. Luo repeated, tears of joy welling up. "Qingtong, grandpa is so relieved! You're not truly blind. With your capabilities, I'm sure you'll find a way to heal completely as you grow stronger."

Luo Qingtong kept her smile, hiding her readiness to cure her condition immediately with the right antidote. She chose not to unveil this just yet, opting instead to let her grandfather adjust to her transformation gradually.

For now, it was enough that he knew she wasn't entirely helpless. Her incredible eye skills needed to remain low-key, as exposing them too suddenly could draw unwanted attention.

This gradual revelation would also give her time to enhance her own strength and fully assess her capabilities within the bounds of her regained family legacy.
