Ancient warrior!
Qin Ziling wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Yes."
"It seems you've experienced quite a bit overseas! I'm afraid even your aunt doesn't know your identity," Chu Renxiong said with a complicated expression.
Qin Ziling nodded and said, "I'm a little surprised that Uncle Chu is a martial arts practitioner."
Ancient martial arts practitioners are a special group of people who are above ordinary people. They can transcend worldly affairs and be free from the constraints of the law when they cultivate martial arts to the extreme!
In this world, besides dazzling technology, there exists a group of people who transcend human limits and are beyond worldly understanding. They stand in the secular world, but achieve enlightenment through martial arts. They are incredibly powerful and are seen as reclusive masters by ordinary people!
In the Dragon Kingdom, these people are revered as ancient martial artists. They cultivate internal strength and refine their spirit. With a single punch, they can shatter mountains and rocks, and with a single breath, they can kill people from thousands of miles away!
In fact, from the moment Qin Ziling first saw Chu Renxiong, he realized that he was an ancient martial artist with a high level of cultivation, namely the second-grade innate realm.
In the ancient martial arts world, there is a saying about the ten ranks of martial arts, and the difference between each rank is an insurmountable chasm!
In ancient martial arts, the first level is the Insightful Strength Realm, which is further divided into three sub-levels: External Strength, Internal Strength, and Transformation Strength. After that comes the Innate Realm. Reaching the Innate Realm can only be considered the true entry point into martial arts. However, there are not many martial artists who can reach the Innate Realm. Innate martial artists have cultivated true qi and can kill people by controlling their qi!
Chu Renxiong's expression turned serious as he asked, "Are you also at the Innate Realm?"
Although he didn't use his full strength just now, his power was still not something a mere Qi Refining martial artist could easily withstand. If Qin Ziling were an ordinary person, he would have stopped in time, but instead, he was the one who was defeated.
It turns out that Qin Ziling's strength has reached the level of the "Seeking the Power" realm!
Qin Ziling pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Not really."
Upon hearing this, Chu Renxiong's gaze became complicated.
A martial artist at the Innate Realm! His intuition told him that this little guy might be more than that!
If he's at least at the Innate Realm, then such a young Innate Realm expert has an incredibly bright future! Keep in mind, Chu Renxiong spent decades reaching the Innate Realm, and Innate Realm experts are extremely rare even in Jianghai. This young man before him is so young…
A bright future awaits!
Chu Renxiong began to make his own calculations. He was originally satisfied with Qin Ziling, but now that he knew the other party was a martial artist, he became even more convinced that he was the right son-in-law.
"Ziling, tell me honestly, did Xinyue threaten you? Did she force you to break off the engagement?" Chu Renxiong asked gently.
Qin Ziling was taken aback. Chu Xinyue was threatening him? Not really, he didn't take it to heart at all, and shook his head: "This is my own choice."
"Come on, sit down first. I'd like to... oh no, let's have a good talk." Chu Renxiong walked to the desk and sat down.
Qin Ziling nodded.
After a long silence, Chu Renxiong sighed: "Actually, I understand your thoughts to some extent. You are a martial artist, so you may not care much about these worldly matters, especially since Xinyue is just an ordinary person."
Qin Ziling: "..."
Although what the other person said was not what he thought, he did not refute it.
Taking a sip of tea, Chu Renxiong's gaze suddenly became complicated. He said, "Actually, although this marriage was arranged by your mother and my wife, it was actually your father who first proposed it."
"My father?"
Qin Ziling was stunned.
Chu Renxiong hesitated for a moment, then opened the drawer in front of him and took out a box.
"Since you are a martial artist, it's time for me to tell you some things." Chu Renxiong's expression suddenly became more serious.
"Uncle Chu, please tell me," Qin Ziling said, also somewhat curious.
Chu Renxiong said slowly, "Actually, Xinyue has been facing some serious trouble recently."
"Is it dangerous?" Qin Ziling asked.
He hadn't expected the other party to mention Chu Xinyue. Although Chu Xinyue's matter didn't have much to do with him, he still asked.
“She has faced many assassination attempts over the years,” Chu Renxiong said in a deep voice.
"At first, I didn't know what those people's purpose was. I just thought that some of my enemies were taking their anger out on Xinyue. Later, I found out that things were not that simple."
"Uncle Chu, what do you mean?" Qin Ziling was somewhat surprised. The young lady had this kind of experience?
Chu Renxiong glanced at the box and said, "Through my investigations over the years, I have discovered that the reason why Xinyue has been repeatedly targeted for assassination is related to the contents of this box."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Ziling: "And this thing was handed to me by your father! It is the token of your love with Xinyue."
A token of love!
Qin Ziling asked curiously, "What's inside?"
Chu Renxiong shook his head: "Open it and take a look."
Qin Ziling took the box with suspicion, opened it, and inside, a red crystal lay quietly, strung together by a silver necklace. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary pendant.
But Qin Ziling's expression turned to shock at this moment: "The Philosopher's Stone?!"
"What?" Chu Renxiong looked at him in astonishment upon hearing this: "You recognize this thing?"
Qin Ziling narrowed his eyes slightly, and instead of answering, asked, "Uncle Chu, you're saying this stone was a gift from my father?"
Chu Renxiong nodded: "Yes, when your father gave it to me, he left a message saying that this thing had an extraordinary origin and should not be known to outsiders, otherwise it would bring disaster!"
Qin Ziling remained silent, many questions surfacing in his mind: Why did his father possess the Philosopher's Stone? And where did he disappear to? What secrets were hidden behind his and his mother's disappearance?
