Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Descendants of the Yun Family Bloodline (Part 2)

"Brother Situ, these are the Soul Condensing Pills you requested, a total of twelve. Please take a look, do they satisfy you?"

Zhu Fei spoke and had already handed over the jade bottle in his hand to Situ Lie.

Holding the jade bottle, Situ Lie gazed at the twelve Special Grade Soul Condensing Pills inside and was stunned to silence.

He had considered the possibility of Zhu Fei failing at alchemy, and also the chance that Zhu Fei might produce one or two Soul Condensing Pills.

But he had never imagined that Zhu Fei could have refined a whole furnace of Soul Condensing Pills in such a short period, and that each pill was of Special Grade quality.

"Uncle Situ..."

Seeing that Situ Lie hadn’t recovered for quite some time, Xiu Ling, standing beside him, couldn’t help but softly call out to him.

Upon hearing Xiu Ling calling him, Situ Lie suddenly jolted and finally snapped out of his shock.

His face lit up with excitement as he nodded repeatedly to Zhu Fei, saying, "Satisfied, extremely satisfied!"

As he spoke, it seemed that he thought of something and hurriedly took out another jade bottle from his person. He carefully placed one Soul Condensing Pill into his own bottle before smiling at Zhu Fei:

"Brother Yue, gratitude is beyond words. I only need one Soul Condensing Pill on my end, and you can keep these remaining ones for yourself."

Faced with the jade bottle returned by Situ Lie, Zhu Fei smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Situ, if you’re willing to consider me, Yue Wu, as a friend, then there’s no need for such courtesy between us."

"You must know that the alchemy ingredients you provided for me to make the Soul Condensing Pills were as much as three portions, and I’ve used only one so far. Speaking of which, I have taken the much greater advantage here."

"But, this..."

Situ Lie felt somewhat embarrassed; he knew full well that Zhu Fei was giving him a way to save face.

Seeking an alchemist to refine pills, who wouldn’t prepare four or five portions of ingredients in advance? And the people requesting pills usually only obtain one pill, at most no more than two.

This practice had long been an unwritten rule within the Alchemy World.

Yet now, not only had he, Situ Lie, provided just three portions of alchemy ingredients, but he also managed to obtain a full furnace’s worth of pills.

Such an event, if spoken of, might not be believed by anyone, even as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he would never expect such generous treatment.

However, looking at it another way, Situ Lie truly wasn’t confident if one Soul Condensing Pill could completely heal his partner’s injuries.

Thinking thus, Situ Lie finally sighed deeply.

He no longer declined Zhu Fei’s kindness, instead keeping this favor deeply etched in his heart.

At this moment, Zhu Fei suddenly seemed to remember something and couldn’t help but smile as he looked at Xiu Ling and asked,

"Sister Xiu Ling, if I didn’t mishear earlier, you mentioned that Yun, our junior sister’s physique, is from some descendant lineage of the Yun family bloodline. Could you please explain what that’s about?"

"This..."

Surprised by Zhu Fei’s question about this subject, Xiu Ling’s face momentarily flashed with difficulty.

Hesitating for a moment, she ultimately looked to Situ Lie for help.

Situ Lie let out a wry smile, then with a hint of apology said to Zhu Fei, "Brother Yue, given your kindness to me, I shouldn’t keep anything from you, but this concerns our Sect’s most closely guarded secrets. There are some things that I really find inconvenient to discuss with you."

After a pause, Situ Lie continued, "However, there’s one thing you can be assured of, we have no untoward intentions towards your sister. On the contrary, once she turns twenty, if she is willing, we will do everything to nurture her."

"Once she turns twenty?"

A flash of confusion crossed Zhu Fei’s eyes, but almost immediately, as if he had realized something, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"Brother Situ, if I’m not mistaken, Yun’s so-called Yun clan bloodline inheritance must wait until she is twenty before she qualifies for a certain legacy, right?"

As soon as Zhu Fei finished speaking, both Situ Lie and Xiu Ling couldn’t help but exchange glances, their faces revealing a wistful smile.

In the end, Situ Lie could only nod helplessly.

"Since Brother Yue has guessed it, then on this matter, I won’t keep it from you any longer. Indeed, all descendants of the Yun bloodline must wait until they are twenty years old for their lineage to gradually awaken, and only then are they eligible to receive the inheritance."

Situ Lie paused, then continued, "Only, in the meantime, I hope Brother Yue will be extremely cautious with the people from East Kunlun, because like us from West Kunlun, they are also desperately searching for members of the Yun clan bloodline."

As he spoke, Situ Lie pointed to the Jade Scroll in Yun Duo’s hand and added,

"The Jade Scroll that Xiu Ling just gave her contains a Cultivation Technique that can secretly hide her identity as a descendant of the Yun bloodline and also help her successfully reach Foundation Establishment. I hope..."

Situ Lie struggled to say the last part, finding it difficult to conceal the discomfort on his face.

Seeing his intention, Zhu Fei smiled slightly and said, "Brother Situ, rest assured, I will keep your words in mind. As for whether Yun will choose to join West Kunlun in the future, it will depend on her own will, right?"

Situ Lie and Xiu Ling exchanged glances once more, both of them wearing wry smiles again.

"Alright, we won’t force the matter on the young lady. It’s getting late, if there’s nothing else, Brother Yue, we shall take our leave now."

Situ Lie and Xiu Ling bowed to Zhu Fei, then took one more look at Yun Duo before turning around to leave.

Watching their retreating figures, Zhu Fei turned to Yun Duo and asked with a smile, "Duoduo, you must have seen what just happened. Do you have any thoughts of your own?"

"I... I don’t have any other thoughts. I... I just want to be with you, Brother Zhu, unless... unless..."

Yun Duo trailed off at the end, her head instinctively bowing deeply.

Her heart was filled with trepidation, afraid that Zhu Fei might express something she didn’t want to hear. Her eyes were also brimming with nervousness.

Seeing the tension in her heart, Zhu Fei couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed as he gently ruffled her hair.

"Silly girl, what are you overthinking? What kind of person do you take your Brother Zhu for? Rest assured, I will never force you into anything you don’t want to do."

Saying this, Zhu Fei glanced at the Jade Scroll in her hand and nodded approvingly,

"However, the Foundation Establishment Skill inside this Jade Scroll is quite good; you should try cultivating it. Now it’s late; we should go rest. We still have to attend the auction tomorrow."

With that said, Zhu Fei waved to Yun Duo with a smile before turning to walk to his own room.

As Zhu Fei’s figure gradually disappeared, Yun Duo gently bit her lip, her heart filled with gratitude and guilt.
