He suddenly realized that his parents were not simple people!
As Chu Renxiong said, the Philosopher's Stone is indeed of extraordinary origin. In the Xia Kingdom, perhaps few people know its origin, but in the West, the Philosopher's Stone is a legendary divine object!
A single Philosopher's Stone is enough to drive the powerful nations of the West mad! Once, a Philosopher's Stone appeared in the West, sparking a fierce battle among powerful figures. The resulting war was incredibly brutal! Rivers of blood flowed, and mountains of corpses rose, all because legend had it that by using the Philosopher's Stone, one could find the legendary Heart of a Sage! And thus, be guided onto the path to divinity!
Thinking of this, Qin Ziling looked at Chu Renxiong and asked, "You said Chu Xinyue was being hunted down because of this thing, what's your basis for that?"
Chu Renxiong said in a deep voice, "The recent assassins are already ancient martial arts practitioners, and they are even second-level internal energy masters at the Insightful Realm! If I hadn't intervened, my daughter would probably have been killed. The assassin is a Westerner. From him, I learned that their goal is this red stone, but I don't know that it is called the Philosopher's Stone or its origin."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ziling immediately understood. This made sense. It seemed that the people over there already knew about the existence of the Philosopher's Stone in China. He just didn't understand why they had come to the Chu family so accurately.
“I won’t force your feelings for Xinyue. However, the current situation is so dire. I don’t know if the next assassin will be even stronger! So, regardless of the engagement, I have a request for you.” Chu Renxiong said slowly.
"Uncle Chu wants me to protect Chu Xinyue?" Qin Ziling asked with a smile.
"Yes, although you have no obligation to do so, please help me out of consideration for the friendship between our two families." Chu Renxiong looked at Qin Ziling with sincerity.
Qin Ziling thought for a moment, then asked, "Does she know about these things?"
Chu Renxiong shook his head: "I don't know. I tried my best to take care of those assassins before they could make a move, but there were a few minor assassination attempts. Xinyue was just frightened and probably didn't have any other intentions. I had bodyguards on the surface, but I also added more people on the side."
Qin Ziling looked at the Philosopher's Stone on the table and fell into deep thought.
