The continuation of the Yu Clan’s bloodline naturally requires a sufficient Yu Clan lineage, but it also requires the stimulation from external ancient clans.
Only when both conditions are met can the power of the Yu Clan’s bloodline continue to be passed down.
This is why the Yu Clan set their sights on Yun Qingluo.
However, while the Yu Clan can determine the strength of their own clan’s bloodline, they can’t detect whether outsiders possess the bloodline of other clans.
This is the key to Yun Qingluo’s plan succeeding.
"But weren’t we all born in the clan back then..."
"Don’t forget that mother’s strength back then was also a Hollow Vacuum. If she wanted to do something discreetly, unless an Earth Immortal personally supervised, it wouldn’t count. And during the ten months she carried you, mother’s docile behavior evidently made the Yu Clan people relaxed and off guard."
"Was this also part of mother’s plan?"
Su Chengyu chuckled bitterly, "This was originally mother’s secret alone. After father met mother, it became our secret, then I was the third. And you..."
"I am surprisingly the fourth?"
Yu Shuang’s emotions were slightly out of control. Even though she was mentally prepared, after learning the whole truth, Yu Shuang couldn’t remain calm at this moment.
"Now I understand why I said father won’t bother with the Yu Clan anymore."
Yu Shuang’s expression was grim, she looked around and said, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell everything to the Yu Clan people?"
Su Chengyu shook his head, "It’s too late now. The reason I’m telling you is because I know the bloodline break of these decades has made it so the current Yu Clan can no longer rely on you to continue the bloodline. The outcome is certain, and no one can save them."
Yu Shuang looked helplessly, "A fitting consequence..."
As for Su Zhedian, Yu Shuang might still be able to persuade him to put down his hatred.
But Yun Qingluo, after all, wasn’t Yu Shuang’s own mother. She couldn’t bear to blame Yun Qingluo even a single sentence, let alone now everything was settled, and any words would already be meaningless.
"Shuang’er, actually, it doesn’t matter whether you are of the Yu Clan or born of mother. In my heart, I’ve always considered you my sister. Maybe not quite like Xiaoxiao, but in the Kunwu Realm, when you stood in front of the Yu Clan and actively called me big brother, I already regarded you as my sister."
Yu Shuang nodded, slumped over the table, and after a while, spoke.
"So, what can I still do for the Yu Clan?"
Su Chengyu shook his head, "Even if you could, I hope you won’t. It’s not for me, it’s for mother."
Yu Shuang quickly understood, "I see, indeed I shouldn’t do anything."
Erasing father’s vengeance.
Previously it was understandable, but now Yu Shuang fully sensed all of Yun Qingluo’s hatred toward the Yu Clan, and she had no stance to do anything more.
If it were herself, could she let it go?
Yu Shuang shook her head, let out a long sigh, and said no more.
"You should be alone for a bit, this time at Rum Peak..."
Yu Shuang interrupted Su Chengyu decisively, her eyes resolute.
"This time, I want to find something for myself, so let me join, okay?"
Su Chengyu looked at Yu Shuang and smiled, "Alright, if anything unexpected happens over there, you can contact me directly using the Earth Core Lotus."
Yu Shuang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then she opened her mouth, "What did you say? Earth Core Lotus? You have an Earth Core Lotus too? Are you Number Two?"
Su Chengyu smiled and shook his head, "When Number Two was bubbling in the group, where was I? Obviously, I can’t be Number Two."
Yu Shuang was a bit dazed, then reacted after being prompted by Su Chengyu, and after matching them one by one, she raised her head more unbelievably.
"Brother, so... you are Number Seven?"
"Yes, apart from Long Xuan, you’re the second person to know about this."
"Long Xuan knows? Is it in Southern Xinjiang?"
"Yes, although he has so many twists and turns, his strength after all is there, the ability to perceive everything is far beyond what we can compare with, it’s natural that he can detect first." ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ⓝovelFire.net
Yu Shuang hesitated and asked, "Aren’t you worried that I might accidentally reveal your identity?"
Su Chengyu shook his head, "No problem, even if I don’t say, I should tell them soon. After all... what I need to do next is to verify whether the person in my heart is truly Number Two."
Yu Shuang blinked and asked, "Can I ask who it is?"
Su Chengyu smiled, "Don’t worry, soon everyone will know. Await my good news."
The topic with the Earth Core Lotus ended the conversation with Yu Shuang. Walking out of Yu Shuang’s room, Su Chengyu also let out a long breath.
Finally, nothing unexpected happened. Among the many matters after returning to the capital, Su Chengyu was more nervous about revealing the truth to Yu Shuang than entering the palace, second only to that time Lin An challenged him.
"Teacher, the things you asked for are all prepared."
With Bai Huang’s arrival, Su Chengyu nodded, knowing it was time to see his teacher.
In the grand hall, having long guessed Su Chengyu would come, Qiu Tianlin softly spoke.
"Teacher, I should almost set off, this time..."
"Why so sentimental? I’m not your father. Were you this excited when parting with Su Zhedian?"
Su Chengyu knew Qiu Tianlin was deliberately easing the atmosphere, yet despite this, Su Chengyu’s heart remained calm.
"Lin An told me, according to the State Preceptor’s calculations, teacher you’re nearing your end."
"I see, you already know."
Qiu Tianlin sighed deeply, then said, "Actually, I’ve been about to burn out long ago. If it weren’t for being concerned about you, I wouldn’t have bothered to persist bitterly. Now that you know, there’s no need for me to keep holding on. It’s time to end."
"Sorry, teacher, I still haven’t found out who exactly schemed against you back then."
Qiu Tianlin shook his head, "Not important anymore. When the world needs me to exit, I exit. Even if it’s truly orchestrated by Your Majesty, when the sovereign commands the subject to die, how can the subject not die."
"But we are the Heaven Punishment Department."
"Right, with that spirit. So I trust handing the Heaven Punishment Department to you. Don’t be guilty, even if you don’t know now, I believe someday you’ll find out the entire truth and settle this account for me."
"Alright, the student guarantees."
"Now the Dragon Veins have all gathered within you. This was originally meant to help you become an Earth Immortal, but now, it can only help you expand a path. It’s a pity."
Su Chengyu shook his head, "Teacher, I don’t regret the path I’ve chosen, and I believe this path will definitely pave a way that others can’t even imagine, for everyone."
Qiu Tianlin nodded in satisfaction, seeing the shadow of Su Linyuan in Su Chengyu, similar yet so different.
The figure already illusory, almost entirely transparent, of Qiu Tianlin, crossed over Su Chengyu, looked into the distance, and finally spoke.
"You should set off."
