Chapter 4 What are you doubting?
"It is indeed somewhat credible." Ming Chen's face was solemn.
"Hui'er has never seen the Tree of Life spirit, nor has he heard of the academy's golden ancient tree, but the description is very similar, especially the faint golden light."
As a former Shrek Academy inner school student, he had seen the golden ancient tree up close.
The golden light is the external manifestation of majestic vitality.
"Could it be that Hui'er is the reincarnation of a god in the God Realm?" Qingyi still spoke out her guess, although she felt a little awkward.
And a little panic.
The former is because the idea of the reincarnation of a god makes her feel like she has been surrogate mothered, and the latter is because she is afraid that this unknown god will fully recover his memory in the future and will become alienated or even disown her as a mother.
After all, that is a high god!
Minghui also felt this discomfort and worry, but in order to take care of his wife's
emotions, he said in a soft tone: "No matter what, Hui'er is now our own flesh and blood, a child we conceived together, isn't he?"
Qingyi's mood eased a little when she heard this. She pursed her lips, a smile appeared on her face, and she nodded with some relief, "Chen, you are right! No matter who Hui'er was, it is already a thing of the past. He is now the flesh and blood I gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy."
"Our blood flows in his body, he is our son."
After saying this, he slightly puffed out his chest, and changed the subject with a solemn expression.
"Chen, I've thought about it, let's send Hui'er to the Body Sect first. Only the Body Sect can allow Hui'er's body martial soul to be best cultivated, laying the most solid foundation for the future practice of the Light Feather Divine Bow, and minimizing the threat of martial soul backlash."
"As for Shrek Academy, it should be fine if we wait a little longer."
After years of companionship, Mingchen heard different meanings from his wife's mouth and tentatively asked, "Ayi, what do you mean?"
Qingyi's face showed a trace of worry, "Chen, you have also seen the situation in the Sun Moon Empire in recent years."
"Although the country pays more and more attention to martial soul cultivation, the research and development of soul guide technology has never been interrupted. The royal family still attaches great importance to this, and the funds allocated to Mingde Hall every year have never been reduced, which has also created Mingde Hall's current power."
"But the continuous consumption of resources to develop soul guides has also caused serious depletion of local resources in the Sun Moon Empire today. Coupled with the annexation of nobles and powerful people, many people have reached the point where they have no land to farm. Domestic conflicts have become more and more serious in recent years."
"The uprising that happened last year is the best proof of this."
"And if you want to save the current situation, you either have to be ruthless and take action against the current vested interests, that is, the old aristocratic forces in the country, and rob the rich to help the poor. Or you can divert the contradictions, launch a war against foreign countries, and invade the fertile land of the original three empires to the east."
"In my opinion, there is no other choice."
"And judging from the development momentum of Mingde Hall in recent years, the royal family of the Sun-Moon Empire may have chosen the second way."
The fiscal budget is large every year, but there are very few finished soul guides entering the market, which is enough to explain the problem. "I have a hunch that the Sun-Moon Empire is currently accumulating strength and actively preparing for war. Sooner
or later, it will take action against the three empires." The biggest reason why their Qing family chose to move to the bottom of this snowy mountain was that the head of the family at that time discovered a rare metal vein used to make soul guides under this land. In order to avoid being coveted by others, they kept it secret and sent the elites of the family to study at Shrek Academy every year, just to take advantage of Shrek Academy to get some insurance and to cooperate with the academy in the future.
She who once entered the inner courtyard was also one of them.
Because of this mineral vein, her family started to get in touch with soul guide technology early.
On the surface, they were fur buyers and suppliers around the Far North, but secretly they were doing some soul guide technology business.
The Far North is located in the north of the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the internal environment is extremely harsh. As the saying goes, things are rare and valuable. The furs and clothes produced from the Far North are naturally loved by dignitaries and ladies from all countries.
The higher the status, the more valuable the information you have.
With the fur and fur derivative business as a stepping stone, after years of accumulation, the family industry controlled by the Qing family has long been spread all over the continent, including the Sun and Moon Empire.
Therefore, they can grasp some internal information in time. And secretly obtain some of the latest soul guide technology.
Shrek Academy was able to establish a soul guide department and master a lot of soul guide technology because of their family's secret support.
"It's a pity that we still can't catch up with the profound Mingde Hall." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
Of course, until now, Shrek Academy still didn't know that the Qing family controlled a metal mine. They only knew that the Qing family was doing fur business on the surface, and secretly had contact with the underground chamber of commerce of the Sun and Moon Empire, so they could buy soul guides and rare metals.
Years have passed, and things have changed. And the human heart is the most unpredictable, so we have to be on guard!
"As the saying goes, lips and teeth are cold, Chen, we are the people of the original three empires after all." Qing Yi sighed, and then his expression was solemn. "As the patriarch, I can never hand over the future of the family and the lives of the clan members to the hands of outsiders." Just in case, I must be prepared for a rainy day."
"Hui'er's appearance may be an opportunity for the Body Sect and Shrek Academy to temporarily put aside their past grudges and fight against the Sun and Moon Empire together." If they really can't do it, the family can take the children to retreat west to the sea, which is another reason why the ancestors moved here. It's close enough to the sea. "This is indeed an opportunity." Ming Chen nodded. "The old dean is very righteous and has been thinking about the academy all his life. I think he will agree with your idea."in addition, this matter can only be discussed with the old dean." He added.
If it were Yan Shaozhe and Xuanzi, the older generation, they would probably get angry on the spot and scold them as traitors to the academy.
They are obviously just students of the academy and have already graduated. It doesn't make sense that those people look down on soul guides. He saw it himself when he was a student decades ago."I think so too." Qingyi nodded
. "In this case, I will set off now and talk to Du Bu Si in person." Minghui made a prompt decision. Although the Body Sect is also a hidden sect, it has caused quite a stir outside because of its protection of its shortcomings. Therefore, the Qing family has found out the headquarters of the Body Sect.
"As for Hui'er's subsequent enrollment in Shrek Academy, in my opinion, it is better to wait until Hui'er's soul power is about to reach level 30 before asking." Qingyi understood immediately and nodded, "Okay."
"I will take Hui'er to the sect outside to wait tomorrow. When you come back, Hui'er's body should be almost recovered and he can go out to get soul rings." For safety reasons and to leave a way out for the family, the Qing family never entertains outsiders."Okay." Mingchen stood up and strode out of the house.
Half an hour later, Minghui woke up from the bed and got up and went out of the house. Then, Aunt Hong arrived and completed a vivid portrait in front of the mother and son.
"Patriarch, who is this woman?"
Aunt Hong was very confused. Minghui grew up, and she had never seen a woman, and Minghui certainly had never seen one either. Could it be that he was imagining something because of the spring in his heart at such a young age? But Xiaohui is only six years old this year! Isn't this a bit early? She couldn't help but glance at Minghui. He is so young and still sick, can he do it? What are you doubting? Minghui sensed something strange in the elder's eyes and felt a little unconvinced.
