Bloodline

 '' You should know that with the level of mystery surrounding this tower, numerous monstrous level geniuses are concealed within

 '' The steward spoke out, his voice still carrying that fatherly warmth, he didn't seem to be faking it, instead it felt like it was part of his being, it really felt like it was his real voice, and it actually was, only that it origins had something to do with his cultivation. 

 " Of co..., I dooo." Jian Ling responded, at first, he was about to respond nonchalantly, but he immediately corrected himself. He wasn't a fool to not have noticed that the old man standing in his front was nothing simple, He obviously seemed to be the most respected person in the tower, and considering the mystery surrounding tower, the tower could also be considered anything but simple. 

 "First I would like to tell you a story, A story of a clan named the Jian clan" The old man spoke, At this point, his voice seemed to have gained a sentimental tone, Jian ling had already sensed that, and so he turned his eyes which were previously scouting across the area towards the man, the first thing he noticed, was the little and short tremble of the man's hands and some other part of his body, Upon noticing this, be felt quite shocked and then raised his sight upwards.

 Looking at the man, he felt like crying, It was weird because that was also the exact expression on the man's face, His earlier shock wasn't actually from seeing the man hands tremble as he could already tell that the story contained a very sensitive topic for the man, The actual thing that made him shocked was that before he even looked at the man his own hands were already trembling. And now just because of his sadness jian ling felt like crying.

 "OHHHH, Sorry for that, at times especially since that event, I tend to get too emotional and lose control" As soon as the man spoke, All the emotion that seemed to have come from nowhere in Jian ling disappeared, no trace was left. This left ling utterly speechless, how could one be this powerful, he knew this wasn't just any tricky skill, this was definitely a high class one, and from the fact that he didn't see the man performing any skill, which meant that it might not even be a skill.

On noticing Jian ling confusion, the old man let out an amused laugh, " It's called telepathy, and it's inherent, it's from my bloodline, and just now I don't activate anything, it reacted to my emotions, when my emotions pass through a level, if I don't control myself, I tend to unknowingly spread most of the emotions to those around me, and as you were the only one nearby, it all focused on you."

 "Bloodline??" Jian ling asked confused again.

 " It is more like a hereditary power source passed on from parent to their children, the same way most of them received their from their parent" The old man explained .

 " Passed on, ohhh no wonder I don't have any, those two would definitely not pass anything to me" Jian ling spoke, he immediately gained back his expressionless face and careless tone the moment he heard the man saying that.

 The old man after hearing Jian ling couldn't help it and burst out into heavy laughter, He stretched out his hand and gave Jian ling a light knock.

 " Dummie, when I say passed down from parent to children, I mean by birth"

 "Ouch" Jian ling let out an exclamation while rubbing his head, His face had a weird expression right now, it was as if he was struggling to smile.

 Jian ling emotionless phenomenon had yet to wear off completely, and the only reasons it has managed to come down to this stage was the old man presence.

 On normal occasions, for people in little places like the Tu kingdom, it was close to impossible for one to get out of such a state and so that was why it was known as absolutely legendary, but for places like the tower and people like Miss Xue, his master, it wasn't necessarily impossible, as people like Miss Xue could just look for someone with a great level of power, at least greater than hers to forcefully awaken the emotions.

 But for the old man, it was actually different as such things weren't needed as his bloodline itself had to do with emotion manipulation. Just standing close to the man already put Jian ling in a healing state as his emotions were constantly being forced awakened by the old man's aura. That was the old man real motive for not completely hiding his aura which caused those telepathic phenomena in Jian ling earlier.

 "Forget about the bloodline for now, that would be a story for another day, but for today, let's focus on the Jian Clan, try to interrupt again if you want me to ask Jian Chen to beat you up." The old man spoke with a smile as his eyes returned to scouting the buildings.
