" On getting back to the clan, he was quick to activate one of our supreme treasures. Once it was activated, he quickly transferred everyone remaining in the clan into the tower and ran yet again, And luckily for us he was able to run away before the remaining raging warriors from the opposite forces reached our clan base, He already knew they were going to try that at least to prevent and special seed from germinating and coming back for their own pound of flesh. " The old man paused; a breath of air escaped his lips. Right now, He looked like someone who had just climbed over a mountain, albeit an emotional one.
Jian ling just stayed quiet; he was downloading the entire information he just received right now. Though it wasn't necessarily all the emotions as he was more focused about the part about the demon race. As much as he pitied the man, he really couldn't just start carrying the burden of thought or revenge for someone he just met now and also as he still wasn't sure what his relationship with the old man was.
As if guessing what he was thinking, the old man just shook his head and said, " Forget it, I understand ".
" Thank you supreme steward " Jian ling spoke with a respectful tone.
" You can call me Old Qing " The old man urged Jian ling, and before Jian ling could answer, seeming to know what Jian ling answer might be, the old man interjected with a question " And lest I forget, what is your name ".
' Corny old man ' Jian ling thought inwardly, but displayed something completely different outside, He smiled and replied, " Jian ling ". The old man immediately smiled and said " Hoh, seemed like you are quite sensible and have already taken our surname ". Jian ling couldn't help but burst out laughing, it was really an eye opener to see someone as shameless as the old man.
" No, that was the name my parent gave to me" Jian ling replied to the old man. A glint passed through Jian ling eyes, He seemed to have thought of something.
Actually, this was something he had realised earlier, but he chose to dismiss it, not willing to cling unto any false hope. As someone who had been banished from his clan, Jian ling was in desperate need for a place to call home, at least to ease of the pain of the death banishment.
And now, all of a sudden, it seems like there was really somewhere and other people apart from the ones whom he grew up with that might actually be related to him, bearing the same surname with him, It was really a weird feeling within him, On normal occasions, he should grab this opportunity and gain himself a new family, But then he didn't know whether it was him being cautious or him being scared. Scared because considering his last experience with family, he didn't know whether he was ready for another family drama.
" Interesting " The old man uttered lowly, ' Could he really be the child or descendant of someone from that family, If he really is, considering the *fate manipulating staff reaction*, he would definitely become a powerhouse to be reckoned with in the future and maybe even gain control of the staff, and even if not, considering his attribute, he would still be able to add up to the normal level geniuses. Though based on his behaviour and aptitude, I think it is likely going to be the former. If it is really so, wouldn't the clan have gained yet again another monster level genius, In addition to Jian Chen and the rest of the other monster, isn't that a transcendent level line up, If this seeds were to germinate well, we would even be far more terrifying than we were back then, who would dare to bully us when we go back to the outside world again, At most we would just have to carry out some action to send out a warning ' The old man thought for a while inwardly, while he was in deep thought, Jian Ling was busy staring at him cautiously with his own different train of thought.
