Following Yu Qingwan, Mu Hanyan came to the backyard.
"Miss Mu, thanks to your rescue this time, I was able to escape safely. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. Please accept my humble greeting." Yu Qingwan bowed and said to Mu Hanyan.
"How did you know that?" Mu Hanyan helped Yu Qingwan up and asked in surprise.
You have to know that she and Zirong and others have been together day and night, but they didn't notice anything. She only met Yu Qingwan once when she woke up and talked to her a few times, but she actually saw through it.
As soon as they came back, Doctor Sun hurried to check the injuries of Zirong and the others, so naturally he had no time to tell her that she was disguised as a man.
"I believe you have also seen Zirong's demon eyes. Although I was born unable to cultivate and use these demon eyes, my six senses are stronger than those of ordinary people. In addition, as a woman, it is naturally easier for me to see some clues." Yu Qingwan explained with a smile.
"So that's how it is." Mu Hanyan suddenly realized.
"I asked Miss Mu to come here, not only to express my gratitude, but also to ask for your help with something." Having said that, Yu Qingwan bowed down.
"Sister Yu, there's no need to be so polite. Zirong is my best friend. Just tell me what you want to say." Mu Hanyan was unwilling to accept her courtesy and hurriedly supported her.
"Miss Mu, I beg you to save Zirong! He has those enchanting eyes. If no one helps him, I'm afraid he will hardly live for more than ten years." When Yu Qingwan said this, tears welled up in her eyes. Her beautiful face, which was already a little haggard, looked even more tearful, which made Mu Hanyan feel sad.
"What's going on?" Mu Hanyan was shocked when she heard this.
She had originally guessed that Yu Qingwan had given the mysterious power in her body to Zirong, which would cause some hindrance, but she was not willing to tell Zirong for fear of making him sad, so she told her secretly and wanted her to keep it a secret. However, after hearing her request, she realized that she was wrong.
It turned out that the real hindrance was not Yu Qingwan, but Zirong.
"Miss Mu, don't you find it strange? Usually, for people like me, innate magical powers are imprinted in our blood. Even for masters with top cultivation, it is extremely difficult to extract innate magical powers from our blood, and it is also full of risks. I don't have any cultivation at all, so why can I easily give this power to Zirong?" Yu Qingwan wiped her tears, calmed down her mood, and asked.
"It's a bit strange." Having said that, Mu Hanyan also remembered the various legends about the innate magical powers of human practitioners, nodded and said.
"Actually, it's not surprising, because this power originally belonged to Zirong, not me. I'm just returning it to its rightful owner." Yu Qingwan said calmly.
"What!" Mu Hanyan was even more surprised after hearing Yu Qingwan's words.
She felt that everything Yu Qingwan said was completely different from her previous guesses, even completely different, and completely beyond her imagination.
"The power of the demon pupils has been passed down through the Zi family from generation to generation. However, not every descendant of the Zi family will awaken this innate magical power. Only those descendants of the Zi family whose eyes transform into demon pupils at full term are considered to have their bloodline awakened.
However, their demon pupils were different from their current appearance. They were not one black and one white. If they were men, their eyes would be pure white, and if they were women, their eyes would be pure black. One was the power of the purest yang, and the other was the power of the purest yin. Such pure power, let alone humans, even strange beasts could not withstand it.
Therefore, almost all descendants of the Zi family who awaken their demon pupils die shortly after reaching adulthood. This is a secret passed down through the generations of the Zi family, and the demon pupils are considered an ominous sign by each generation of the Zi family. They believe that their ancestors did something against the will of heaven, resulting in a curse from the gods, a curse that has persisted from generation to generation.
When Zirong was one month old, his bloodline awakened. However, he was lucky. As soon as his demon pupil awakened, he met a strange man who transferred the power to me. Because the power of the demon pupil is the purest yang power, and I have a cold yin body, the power of the demon pupil does not cause much harm to me.
Although I have been called a sickly child since I was a child, I am actually not weak and sickly. It’s just that I am still young and cannot integrate the power of the demon pupil, so I often have some strange symptoms. To be honest, my physical condition is much better than that of ordinary people. Moreover, as I grow up, the power of the demon pupil has slowly integrated into my blood and has no effect on me.
"If nothing unexpected happens, even without any cultivation, I can live to be one or two hundred years old, and Zirong can live well. Although she won't have the chance to awaken her demon pupils again, she will be free from illness and disaster, and her cultivation talent is much stronger than that of ordinary people." Yu Qingwan slowly explained the whole story.
"Zirong, doesn't you know about this?" Mu Hanyan asked curiously.
Although what Yu Qingwan said sounded like a fairy tale, Mu Hanyan accepted it easily after seeing Zirong's enchanting eyes with her own eyes.
"A few years after Zirong was born, his parents died for some reason. Because their death was so sudden, they didn't have time to tell him these things. The Zi family was already in decline at that time, and he was the only son in several generations. Besides, the matter of the demon pupil has always been regarded as an ominous curse by the Zi family, and would never let outsiders know about it, so he never knew about it." Yu Qingwan explained.
"Then how did you know?" Mu Hanyan continued to ask. As far as she knew, Yu Qingwan was about the same age as Zirong and should have been in her infancy at the time. How could she know this secret?
"That strange man told me. Just a year ago, that strange man found me and told me everything." Yu Qingwan said frankly.
"Who is this strange person you're talking about?" Mu Hanyan became more and more surprised as she listened, and asked in a desperate attempt to get to the bottom of it.
"His name is Lu Guantian!" Yu Qingwan said.
"Lu Guantian!" Mu Hanyan was shocked and exclaimed in surprise.
Wasn't Lu Guantian the elusive master of Qu Shanling? Although she sometimes disapproved of Qu Shanling's charlatanism, Mu Hanyan was deeply fascinated and admired his master. Apart from anything else, the Sword Heart Soul Cleansing Pool he had found had greatly benefited Mu Hanyan.
Originally, she was a little puzzled as to how Yu Qingwan could so easily believe what others said. But after knowing who the strange person she was talking about was, Mu Hanyan no longer felt surprised. With Lu Guantian's astrological skills that could see through the secrets of heaven, it would be easy for him to make Yu Qingwan believe what he said.
"In addition to telling me the secret of Zirong, Senior Lu also told me another thing. The power of the demon pupil has already entered my body. Zirong's life is certainly in danger, but I may suffer an unexpected disaster because of this. Who knows, sooner or later, the power of the demon pupil will return to Zirong."
