78 A Man With Two Holy Beasts
The task of finding the herbs was left to the secret guards of the Yuan Mansion.
Yun Ran and the others continued to stay at the sect meeting and wait for the Third Elder of the Miracle Doctor Sect to refine the pills Mo Beiyuan needed.
It had been calm for a few days on their side, but the storm outside was huge. Gossip ran rampant.
“The eldest daughter of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, Yun Qingqing, awakened a heaven-level spiritual root at the age of five. But she’s a fake!”
“Prime Minister Yun of the East Continent actually dug out the spiritual root of one daughter and planted it on another! Is this the distortion of human nature or the decline of morality?”
“The Crown Prince of the East Continent was crippled by the Ghost King. Uncle and nephew actually fought over a woman. ”
“The Ghost King became the only man in the Xuanxia Continent who had two holy beasts!”
“Did you hear about the love-hate relationship between Fairy Xue Yun and the Ghost King?”
Feng Chen had heard the gossip outside and insisted on sharing it with Yun Ran.
Unable to dissuade his enthusiasm, Yun Ran let him nag in her ear.
“Let’s talk about His Highness first. This guy begged my master for medical treatment. My master took a look and guess what? He said that his bone was crushed by Ah Yuan. He couldn’t even connect it. His hand was crippled.”
Yun Ran’s gaze landed on Sweetcake’s little face. The swelling from Mo Jinyu’s beating had almost disappeared after the ointment was applied, but a grudge between Yun Ran and Mo Jinyu had formed. She had no intention of dissolving it.
Feng Chen continued, “I don’t know how this rumor spread, but someone actually said that Ah Yuan hit Mo Jinyu because of you! He even said that the uncle and nephew fell in love with a woman at the same time. Ah Yuan forcefully snatched you and imprisoned you by his side. What the hell is going on?”
Yun Ran smiled. “You already said it was gossip. There’s no need to take it seriously.”
“By the way, I heard that after Yun Qingqing lost her spiritual root, she went crazy and searched everywhere for her spiritual root.”
As Feng Chen spoke, he observed the expression on Yun Ran’s face. “Are you really twin sisters from the same mother?”
Yun Ran also wanted to figure out the question he was asking now because she also suspected that the Host was not of the Yun family’s biological bloodline at all.
After recovering her appearance and seeing Yun Qingqing in person, Yunran realized that she did not look like anyone in the Yun family at all.
Coupled with the Yun family’s attitude towards her and the two children, it would be strange if they were biological!
Yunran felt that not only was she not the Yun family’s biological daughter, Moreover, but her true background also might not be simple.
In addition to studying books related to demon beasts, Yun Ran also studied some other books. For example, one of them explained the inheritance of the bloodline spiritual root in detail.
The book said that when people of two powerful bloodline spiritual roots were combined, there was a high chance that their descendants would inherit a powerful bloodline spiritual root.
Parents without spiritual roots usually could not give birth to powerful bloodlines.
This was like genetics in the apocalypse.
In other words, Little Sweetcake’s bloodline was most likely inherited from her and Mo Beiyuan.
There was no doubt about that.
Then from whom did the Host inherit the bloodline of this heaven-level spiritual root?
Yun Zhiyuan’s cultivation seemed not to be low, but Luo Die’s cultivation was very ordinary.
As for the children of the Yun family, there was no need to mention Yun Hai. He was a profligate son who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
Yun Qingqing had snatched her spiritual root. All these years, she had gained the reputation of a genius girl in the Imperial City.
