Chapter 1132 - The Young Master of the Divine Clan’s Royalty
Chapter 1132: The Young Master of the Divine Clan’s Royalty
“Are you a descendant of Lei Tianbo?” asked Huangfu Qingjue simply.
“Lei Tianbo… is indeed our ancestor!” Lei Wanshan was pleasantly surprised, and he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. As expected, he was a descendant of the divine clan’s royalty. How would he know the name of his ancestor otherwise? Moreover, he said it so casually.
“My name is Huangfu Qingjue,” said Huangfu Qingjue as he nodded.
“Huangfu… Huangfu! An unfilial descendant of the Lei clan, Lei Wanshan, greets you, Young Master.” Lei Wanshan’s eyes widened as though he had been struck by lightning. It took him quite a while to react. He hurriedly knelt down on one knee and bowed respectfully.
The main clan that the Lei clan’s ancestor had previously served was the Huangfu clan. The Huangfu clan was also of direct lineage from the divine clan’s royalty, and not everyone in the clan’s royalty had the right to inherit this surname. Descendants who were not deemed important were not even allowed to use the Huangfu surname. Although this was cruel, it was one of the main reasons the divine clan’s royalty was able to survive for tens of thousands of years.
He had really made the right bet. The person in front of him was not only a descendant of the divine clan’s royalty but also someone who had the right to use the Huangfu surname. His talent and strength were definitely outstanding as a member of the clan’s royalty. As long as he was willing to help, Ding Wenqing could be saved.
Based on their conversation, Ling Chuxi was able to make some educated guesses as to the true identity of Lei Wanshan. It turned out that his ancestor was actually a member of Huangfu Qingjue’s clan. Though she did not know why he had been sent to Qianzhong Ridge, she knew that he was willing to submit so quickly to Sword Heart Gang because he already had suspicions towards Huangfu Qingjue’s identity.
Seeing Lei Wanshan’s excitement, shock, and awe, Ling Chuxi became even more curious about those legendary ancient families.
When she had the chance in the future, she would definitely go to another dimension to see the power of those ancient families.
“Get up.” Huangfu Qingjue remained as calm as before. He had probably anticipated Lei Wanshan’s reaction, or he was probably just used to it. “If I’m not wrong, you should have already done something to intervene with Ding Wenqing’s condition?” Huangfu Qingjue was definitely referring to the Rebirth Technique.
Lei Wanshan had just gotten back to his feet before he plopped back onto the floor on his knees. “This subordinate used a secret technique without the permission of the master. I beg Young Master to punish me. Even if I die, I, Lei Wanshan, will not say a word to anyone about anything. However, this brother was injured to save me. The Rebirth Technique I used was passed down by my ancestor and is only half of its true form. It can only partially suppress Yisha’s True Qi but it can not save him. I, Lei Wanshan, am willing to die to atone for my crime. But I only hope that Young Master can show mercy and save his life.”
“Really? You are not afraid of death?” asked Huangfu Qingjue meaningfully yet so calmly that it was terrifying.
He had the natural airs of the royal bloodline which was not unfamiliar to the common people of the world.
However, Ling Chuxi and Gong Xikuangdao did not think it strange. The lives of ordinary people were probably no different from ants in their eyes for ancient families who had been around for tens of thousands of years.
Of course, this was most likely the only way for them to protect the reputation of their families or to ensure a smooth transition of inheritance to descendants. For Ling Chuxi, she knew that the real Huangfu Qingjue and the cold and indifferent person before her were definitely not the same person. Her Huangfu Qingjue was someone who was deeply in love with her. He would smile at her gently and tenderly. However, that Huangfu Qingjue was hers and hers alone.
