The subtext is: you know nothing about the lady's abilities.
Qian Youying silently rolled her eyes, finding Bai Yusheng's behavior of vying for favor utterly ridiculous and boring.
Didn't Bai Yusheng once think that the He and Bai families' behavior of currying favor with the Dongdan and Zhou families was shameful?
What is he doing now?
Where's your aloofness, young man?!
Back inside, Ji Fengyao recounted her experiences in the mine to everyone, who listened with astonishment.
Seeing everyone's innocent, gossipy expressions, Ji Fengyao felt an urgent need to recruit more people as soon as possible, preferably from major cities like Yanjing. Otherwise, these few greenhorns were only good for being thugs; there was really nothing else to rely on.
Just as Ji Fengyao was about to tell everyone to wash up and go to bed.
Qian Youying paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Miss, besides someone calling you, were there any other hallucinations you had in that mine?"
Although Ji Fengyao didn't understand why he asked that, she thought about it carefully.
She said uncertainly, “A heartbeat, a very slow but powerful heartbeat; I always thought it was my own heartbeat or that of the monks who were mining, but since you just asked, I thought about it carefully and realized that the heartbeat was unusually strong.”
"Could it be that the Dongdan family and the He family are trying to cover up that thing..." Qian Youying's face was full of thought but also disbelief.
"What is that?"
His words immediately piqued the interest of Ji Fengyao, Hao Yan, Zhuang Shaoze, and the others.
"Young Master Bai, have you heard of the legend of our Guyue City?" Qian Youying suddenly looked up at Bai Yusheng and asked.
"You mean the one who steals hearts from the Heavenly Fox?" Bai Yusu interrupted, asking in return.
Qian Ying nodded.
“Anyone born and raised in our Guyue City should have heard of this legend,” Bai Yusu retorted dismissively. “We’re talking about the zinc and iron mines of the Dongdan and He families. Why are you bringing up such unrelated things?”
“Qian Youying, you don’t think…” Bai Yusheng seemed to understand what Qian Youying meant, and thought his guess was too absurd, so he scoffed, “Heh, how could that be? That’s just a legend.”
“No, that’s more than just a legend,” Qian Youying said calmly, walking to the window and opening it under everyone’s gaze.
The bright moonlight outside the window shone on him, casting a frosty glow on his tall figure.
His features, which were originally just considered handsome, began to change under the moonlight:
Her eyebrows and eyes became narrower and more alluring, her nose bridge became higher and straighter, and her thin lips became fuller and more shapely.
What surprised everyone the most was that his ears slowly grew longer and pointed until they clearly became pointed ears that were not human.
The handsome young man, Qian Youying, transformed in front of everyone into a strikingly beautiful, elfin-like man with an almost aggressive allure.
Bai Yusheng and Bai Yusu exclaimed in unison, "Qian Youying... your Qian family are actually... demonic beasts?!"
In Guyue City, the Bai, He, and Qian clans stood in a tripartite balance for hundreds of years.
But neither the Bai nor the He families ever realized that the Qian family was actually a demon beast!
“No, we are not demonic beasts, and we don’t know what we are; beings like me only appear in a very small number of direct descendants. But regarding the legend of Guyue City, our Qian family’s ancestral precepts contain a more detailed and different version,” Qian Youying denied.
