Chapter 294: This is the Jade Pendant your mother left for you!
It is well known.
Social death is not the death of the body, but the death of the spirit, the death of face.
It is the jumping off a cliff of one’s character.
It is the hanging of dignity.
It is the temporary disappearance of a sense of existence!
After experiencing a painful embarrassment, Qin Zi did not know how to handle this awkward scene before him, so he chose to faint.
He believed that when he woke up, he could act as if nothing had happened, and his father wouldn’t question it.
After all, no one knows a son better than his father.
Just as he believed he understood his father well, he also believed his father understood him.
This was indeed the case.
After he woke up, Qin Chuan deftly avoided that awkward topic, and after a heartfelt hug, the father and son returned to the previous state of fatherly kindness and filial piety, without any sense of discord.
"Xiao Zi, there’s something I want to give you."
After a long while, Qin Chuan said.
"Ah?"
Qin Zi looked at his father in surprise.
In Qin Chuan’s hand appeared a golden jade pendant, crystal clear, vaguely visible inside was a small crimson Vermilion Bird.
"This is something your mother left for you. Originally, I didn’t plan to give it to you so soon because I worried it might resonate with your bloodline and cause some incidents, possibly endangering you."
Qin Chuan’s face was solemn:
"However, after a life-and-death experience, I figured it out; I should give it to you. After all... children have their own fortune, and you have your destiny. I can’t always make decisions for you."
After saying that, he handed the Vermilion Bird Jade Pendant to Qin Zi.
This jade pendant was exactly Lin Yi’s Phoenix Jade Pendant, but he altered its appearance using the system, turning it into this.
"Something left by my mother?"
Qin Zi took a deep breath, carefully reaching out his hands to hold it—actually, he was just putting on a façade.
In his heart.
That mother whom he had never met was merely a symbol. Even if he rationally kept telling himself to respect and love that it was his mother, yet... having never met, where would the feelings come from?
The reason he always acted like he wanted to find his mother was simply not to let his father down.
Otherwise, his father might consider him an unfilial son—in fact, he was a mourning son.
"Buzz!!"
Suddenly, Qin Zi’s body burst into golden light, and the blood all over his body boiled violently like water coming to a boil.
Moreover.
The originally red blood gradually turned gold, growing denser, as if golden broth was rolling in the pot.
"Ah! So hot!"
Qin Zi shouted, then discovered that the jade pendant in his hand was also glowing, resonating with the blood within his body.
"Don’t be afraid, it should be some bloodline awakening, it’s the mysterious bloodline from your mother’s family!"
Qin Chuan reassured in a deep voice.
Instantly, Qin Zi no longer panicked, gritting his teeth and silently enduring the pain from the burning blood.
"Ahhhh, it’s about to erupt!!"
Gradually, he felt an enormous energy in his bloodline surging fiercely, about to erupt.
"Ah—"
Finally, he seemed as though he completely released himself, flowing like a torrent, his entire soul emptied.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three white beams of light shot out from his body in succession, each wave rising higher than the last, each peak taller than the last.
With the backlash of the power from the bloodline, he astonishingly broke through three times in a row, reaching the ninth tribulation of the Emperor!
Which is to say, Realm Emperor Peak!
For Qin Zi’s age, such cultivation was incredibly astonishing, even breaking some records.
Of course, the real record had long been broken and continuously held by some crazed individual...
"Wonderful!!"
Qin Chuan couldn’t help but praise.
The effect of this bloodline was indeed impressive, and it was worthwhile for him to spend over five thousand daddy-points to copy Lin Yi’s bloodline.
And Lin Yi’s own bloodline remained unchanged, though he spent a bit of daddy-points to conceal its aura.
Even if Lin Yi encountered this jade pendant later, he wouldn’t be able to resonate with it, at most feel it somehow familiar.
"Dad, this... this bloodline, why do I feel it’s even more powerful than the Divine Body? So overpowering!"
Afterwards, Qin Zi recovered from the Wise Man’s Time, then exclaimed in shock.
"It’s unsurprising."
Qin Chuan feigned a profound tone, calmly said:
"So-called Divine Body is just the strongest physique in this lower realm, it wouldn’t be worth mentioning in the upper realm."
"And the family your mother comes from is among the renowned major forces even in the upper realm, the difference is evident."
"Your bloodline is only in the initial awakening, if it fully awakens, its strength... will exceed your imagination."
Qin Chuan was boasting mightily.
Anyway, if the bluff was broken, he could fix it variously, but his prestige must not be compromised!
Qin Zi, after hearing this, breathed more heavily, clenching his fists with high spirits.
He looked up at the sky, as if already seeing a vast grand world awaiting his venture!
"Do not get ahead of yourself,"
At this moment, Qin Chuan calmly said:
"Even though you’ve awakened your bloodline, you’re only at Realm Emperor Peak, there’s still a long journey before entering the upper realm."
"Mm."
Qin Zi nodded obediently, then suddenly remembered something, said: "Dad, can you help Senior Brother Jin? He likes the White Crane King’s daughter, but it seems the White Crane King doesn’t think much of him."
Qin Chuan smiled wryly:
"How can I help this? Even if I am a bit stronger than the White Crane King, I shouldn’t pressure others with force, right? Besides, they’ve been good to us."
Qin Zi hastily said:
"Senior Brother Jin and Sister Bailu are mutually affectionate, and Senior Brother Jin isn’t bad either, I think the White Crane King might have some concerns, if you ask the White Crane King, maybe we can solve his concerns."
Qin Chuan, looking at his eagerly expectant son, after a brief contemplation, nodded: "Alright, I’ll ask."
"Thank you, Dad!"
Qin Zi was excited beyond measure.
Qin Chuan was true to his word, and soon found the White Crane King—when a weaker visits a stronger, the stronger is often in retreat and unavailable. But when a stronger visits a strong, the strong swiftly comes out of retreat, the inconvenience does not exist.
"Congratulations, brother Dao, on your Nirvana Rebirth."
The White Crane King greeted politely, then the two each sat on a lotus throne over a hundred in height.
Sitting opposite each other.
"This visit to meet brother Dao, besides giving thanks in person, is mainly to inquire about the matter of Jin Zhi."
Qin Chuan said with a smile:
"I’ve always thought highly of this young man, yet currently he doesn’t seem to reach brother Dao’s standards, may I know why?"
The White Crane King’s face slightly changed, after hesitating, he sighed: "It’s not that I look down on him, his talent and character are not any less than mine back in those days. If given time, I believe he could reach my level, and truly be worthy of my daughter."
Following this, he changed the subject:
"However, my daughter cannot be with him, otherwise, the happier she is now, the more painful it will be in the future."
Qin Chuan was slightly surprised, puzzled in his heart.
Already experiencing happiness implies the size is appropriate, why would there be pain? Could it be that it will continue to rise to the sky?
But the White Crane King took a deep breath, face turning solemn, and said in a low voice, mysteriously:
"I know a little about the Qi Observation Skill; after many observations, I can confirm... this young man, has an early death omen!"
