Qing Shihua looked at her younger sister with a hint of reproach. These were topics that had been covered 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 are not actually possessed by the Liu Clan,” Qing Shihua explained. “These are highly spiritual seeds that can grow in any soil. Each seed corresponds to a unique spiritual tree, imbued with an extremely rich Wood Spirit energy. The hundred fruits correspond to a hundred trees, and when the seeds encounter soil, they can quickly grow into towering giants. While this may not be of much use to others, it is a treasure for the Liu Clan!”
“The Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds were not found by the Liu Clan, but by Ye Wentian, the former head of the Ye Clan,” she continued. “Ye Wentian was not only instrumental in developing the Ye family into a powerful clan, but he also traveled extensively within the Qingyun Empire, acquiring many incredible heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds are one of them.”
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 royal academy specifically told us about the history of the Qingyun Empire over the past few hundred years, and you didn’t remember any of it!”
Qing Shiyu replied, “Why should I remember those things…?”
“You…” Qing Shihua was about to scold her sister further when she was interrupted by her sister’s pleading, “Good sister, just tell us!”
Qing Shihua then explained, “It is true that the Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds were obtained by Ye Wentian of the Ye Clan. However, you should know about the eighteen Ask-the-Heavens Guards who were by Ye Wentian’s side. One of them was named Liu Chuantian, who was a member of the Liu Clan.”
Upon hearing this, the others were all astonished.
Qing Shihua continued, “Liu Chuantian’s situation in the past was somewhat similar to Xiao Yuan’s… a commoner 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 item to get his parents back and to sever all ties with the Liu Clan, cutting off all connections completely!”
Xiao Yuan couldn’t help but say, “Liu Chuantian was too 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 exact circumstances of that time. Perhaps Liu Chuantian had his own considerations,” Qing Shihua speculated.
“But I am curious,” Qing Shihua continued, “At that time, Ye Wentian was already unmatched in the entire nation. No one in the Qingyun Empire could stand against him. If the Liu Clan dared to coerce Liu Chuantian, why didn’t he simply kill a few of their strong members to intimidate the clan?”
Wang Xueqi laughed 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 martial arena 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 trees or a charming being of the forest, captivating everyone’s gaze.
Ye Wushuang also leaped into the air, looking at 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 position in the Liu Clan!”
Liu Huan Yu smiled and said, “Using the Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds, which your Ye Clan ancestor Ye Wentian once gave to the Liu Clan, to kill you, a descendant of the Ye Clan—surely, if Ye Wentian knew, he would be so angry that he would spit up three cups of blood!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang’s expression became peculiar. 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… not worth mentioning at all. What was there to be angry about?
“Ye Wushuang, I will use the Hundred Fruits Spirit Seeds to fight you. If you die, you should have no regrets!” As Liu Huan Yu finished speaking, she clasped her hands together, and the hundreds of spiritual trees began to tremble, their leaves shaking and producing a eerie, heart-shaking sound.
