They spent every day in a thrilling atmosphere, and everyone grew a lot along the way. Thanks to those who provided free game boosting services.
Finally, someone's knife pierced Xiao Jiu's body.
Xiao Shui could have been saved.
However, it was hit by Mo Yan's palm strike.
Xiao Jiu was killed.
As she fell, Xiao Jiu looked at Mo Yan.
"Grandma, have I made progress?"
Mo Yan hugged him, "You've improved."
He then fainted.
Xiao Shui couldn't accept it and pushed Mo Yan away.
"Why! Why! We could have saved him, why are you holding me back?"
Are you in cahoots with them?
Yes or no?"
Xiao Shui looked at Xiao Tianjun and broke down, saying she wanted to kill Mo Yan, but Zuo Caixuan stopped her.
"Are you crazy? My grandma didn't do it on purpose. Even if she did, she must have had her reasons. We've helped you for so long, and you still don't trust my grandma?"
You yourself said that we've been hunted down several times in the past few months? And every single time, wasn't it because of you?
I wonder who these two people are, and why they attract assassins so much, time and time again...
"Who knows if you're just doing this because you trust us? Who knows if you really want to save my young master!"
Xiao Shui felt that there was no point in living, so she picked up a sword and tried to commit suicide.
This time, no one stopped him.
Xiao Shui: "..."
"I can't die! I must avenge my young master! I must go and get revenge!"
Mo Yan didn't care; this person was too annoying.
He ran away immediately.
Lei Ling was still worried and followed after them, intending to catch up but then pulled them back.
Mo Yan looked at Xiao Jiu, took out a knife, and stabbed herself.
Blood fell on his wound, and at that moment, his surroundings began to glow.
Mo Yan set up a protective barrier and had Cai Xuan guard it, while he himself began to protect her.
At this moment, Xiao Jiu found himself in an unfamiliar place, where he saw his great-aunt.
"Grandma, what are you doing here? Am I dead? So this is what it feels like to be dead."
Mo Yan reached out and tapped his head. "Are you blaming me? My palm strike made him a step too late and he couldn't save you."
"No, you definitely don't want to kill me. Grandma, Uncle Xiao Shui is just a little slow-witted and feels guilty. He won't really blame you."
When he came over, it meant he would die with me.
"It's because I'm not skilled enough. In my next life, I'll definitely never be bullied like this again."
Mo Yan was surprised that even after all this, the little guy still didn't blame her.
"No need for the next life, let's just do it in this life."
Xiao Jiu: "???"
"Grandma, what do you mean by this?"
Mo Yan smiled and looked at him, asking.
"There are many cultivators on this continent. Why do you think a member of the royal family can become a Heavenly Lord and rule the entire continent?"
Xiao Jiu had asked her father the same question before. "Because the five great families have made a promise to support the Heavenly Emperor, never betray him, not participate in court affairs, and not interfere in human affairs in the slightest."
They can protect the continent, but they cannot use their spiritual power against ordinary people.
Surprisingly, the little guy is quite good at history. "Hmm, your teacher is good, but this is only what's written here. What about what's not written down?"
Xiao Jiu was even more confused. What did he mean by "things that weren't written down"?
"What do you mean?"
"So why did they have to agree?"
The royal family cultivates not spiritual power, but true qi.
This is something that can restrain them.
To open up one's true energy, one needs to die once, and also requires the bloodline of a loved one as a guide, only then can one cultivate.
Once you succeed, all the spiritual power in the world will reveal its weaknesses to you.
This is the fundamental reason why the five major families are willing to protect it.
However, as long as all five spiritual energies are gathered, they can also restrain the Purple Dragon's true energy; this is true balance.
Xiao Jiu's eyes widened in surprise, speechless, unsure how to express her feelings.
These were things he had never heard of before, and he seemed to understand a lot all at once.
Seeing that he understood, Mo Yan continued to ask.
Why do the five major families intermarry?
Xiao Jiu blurted it out.
"Because they want to solidify their relationship!"
To break up their relationship, my great-aunt married into a prominent family back then.
At this point, Xiao Jiu seemed to have thought of something.
"cocoa……"
"Just say whatever comes to mind,"
Mo Yan thought the little guy was quite smart.
The little guy was a bit confused. "I remember Grandpa saying that their maternal grandfather's family was a prominent family. So, can I understand that prominent families also want to integrate into the royal family?"
"That's right. To check and balance each other, there must be mutual restraint. A noblewoman enters the palace as a concubine in an attempt to break the Purple Dragon True Qi."
However, the royal family was not stupid. In tens of thousands of years, only one concubine had succeeded in giving birth to twins.
The man was the Heavenly Emperor, and the woman was the Eldest Princess.
However, the concubine deeply loved the emperor and betrayed her family, thus failing to imprint the noble family mark on the twins.
Without the mark, one is not considered a member of the aristocratic family, and therefore will not know the secrets of the Purple Dragon True Qi.
As the twins grew up, the emperor, who also wanted to explore spiritual power, married off the eldest princess.
The eldest princess refused, betrayed the royal family, became a noblewoman, and married into a powerful family.
There was no more princesses from then on.
This is the entanglement of interests between the royal family and aristocratic clans.
