Qing Shihua looked at her younger sister with a hint of reproach. These were things that had been taught in the education of the royal children. It was understandable that Xiao Yuan and the others didn’t know, but her sister’s bewildered expression was quite inappropriate.
“The Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds actually do not belong to the Liu Clan,” Qing Shihua explained.
“These seeds are highly spiritual. They can grow in any soil, and each seed corresponds to a unique spirit tree, imbued with an extremely rich Wood Spirit energy. The seeds grow into towering trees as soon as they touch the earth. While this may not be very effective for others, it is a treasure for the Liu Clan!”
“The Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds were not discovered by the Liu Clan. They were obtained by Ye Wentian, the former head of the Ye Clan!”
“Ye Wentian was not only the one who developed the Ye Clan into a powerful force but also traveled extensively within the Qingyun Empire, acquiring many incredible heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds were among them,” she continued.
Qing Shiyu couldn’t help but ask, “Then why did you say they were obtained by the Liu Clan?”
Qing Shihua playfully tapped her sister’s head, chiding her, “When we were young, the old professor at the Imperial Academy specifically taught us about the history of the Qingyun Empire over the past few centuries. You didn’t remember any of it!”
Qing Shiyu retorted, “Why should I remember those things…?”
“You…” Qing Shihua was at a loss for words.
“Good sister, please tell us!” Qing Shiyu pleaded.
Qing Shihua then explained, “It is true that the Ye Clan’s Ye Wentian obtained them, but you should know about the eighteen Ask-the-Heavens Guards who were with Ye Wentian. One of them was named Liu Chuantian, and he was a member of the Liu Clan.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces showed astonishment.
Qing Shihua continued, “Liu Chuantian’s situation in the past was somewhat similar to Xiao Yuan’s… a common-born disciple who awakened his bloodline but was harmed by the legitimate branch. It was Ye Wentian who saved him.”
“From then on, Liu Chuantian had no more connection with the Liu Clan. However, the Liu Clan was unreasonable and coerced Liu Chuantian’s parents. Ye Wentian gave the Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds to Liu Chuantian.”
“Liu Chuantian used this treasure to save his parents and completely severed ties with the Liu Clan,” she concluded.
Xiao Yuan couldn’t help but comment, “Liu Chuantian was really foolish… He could have just left the Liu Clan and given the Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds to them…”
“We, the descendants, do not know the full story. Perhaps Liu Chuantian had his own considerations,” Qing Shihua speculated.
“I’m curious, though,” Qing Shihua continued. “At that time, Ye Wentian was already unmatched in the nation. No one in the Qingyun Empire could stand against him. If the Liu Clan dared to coerce Liu Chuantian, why didn’t he just kill a few of their strong members to intimidate them?”
Wang Xueqi smiled and said, “As you said, it has been hundreds of years. We descendants do not know the details of that day.”
As they spoke, the vast training ground had transformed into a forest. Hundreds of trees, with lush branches and leaves, shone brightly. Liu Huan Yu stood atop a Yuntao Tree, her figure light and graceful, like a fairy of the forest, captivating everyone’s gaze.
Ye Wushuang also leaped into the air, facing Liu Huan Yu, who was several zhang away.
“Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds…” Ye Wushuang murmured. “The Liu Clan gave you the Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds. It seems you hold a high status within the Liu Clan.”
Liu Huan Yu smiled and said, “Using the Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds, which your Ye Clan ancestor Ye Wentian gave to the Liu Clan, to kill you, a descendant of the Ye Clan, I think Ye Wentian would be so angry that he would spit up three cups of blood if he knew!”
Hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s expression became strange. The Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds were indeed precious, but… for Ye Wentian, who was the reincarnation of his ninth divine soul at that time, they were… nothing to be concerned about. There was no reason to be angry.
“Ye Wushuang, I am using the Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds to fight you. If you die, you should have no regrets!” Liu Huan Yu declared. With that, she clenched her hands, and the hundreds of spirit trees began to tremble, their leaves rustling with an eerie, heart-shaking sound.
