“Five Eyed Statue?” Tang Tian was curious when he heard Gu Xue’s exclamations.
“Mmhmm!” Gu Xue nodded hard: “Just about 1000 years after the Scorpio Constellation’s reign, there was a planet that became famous all of a sudden. It was called the Red Eyed Planet. The Red Eyed Planet had a unique thing called the Red Eyed Statues. I should have thought about it just now. The Red Eyed Statues’ powers were outstanding. They even formed an army of Red Eyed Statues to fight their wars.”
“Is that powerful? I think they’re mediocre, but I have to say their methods are slightly odd.” Tang Tian pouted, looking all puffed up.
Bing could not take it, he moaned: “Their martial spirits have already weakened to such an extent, you’ve spent so much time and now you’re still so arrogant?”
Tang Tian cried: “I’m obviously the one who finished the battle before you!”
Bing mocked: “That’s because you have the Heavenly Crane Gloves. Mind your tone, you’re not respecting this elder at all. Oh, and you’re not respecting your mentor. Tsk tsk, if this were the past and we had another recruit replace you to fight off these 5 statues, they could have done it alone. It’s humiliating to any recruits if they need their military officers to help them! Oh, and you spent 10 sixth level spirit nuclei to summon Ghost Claw. Tsk, to lose out is the most humiliating thing ever!”
“Come, let us fight! Let’s use our fists to decide who is in the wrong!” Tang Tian raged and pointed his finger at Bing.
Bing rolled his eyes and looked at him in despise: “Now you’re just being childish. During our times, there was never such a lad like you. To challenge his own military officer when he had not even passed the recruit training. Ah yes, even without going through the recruit training,you’re the generation that challenges without knowing your own limits.”
“You, you, you…” Tang Tian’s face was flushing red.
Gu Xue looked at Tang Tian and Bing who were bickering, and giggled. To avoid the two of them fighting, she decided to talk. The moment she opened her mouth, she caught their attention.
“The Red Eyed Statues’ powers are not just limited to that. According to books I’ve read, the Red Eyed Planet reached its peak very quickly. They had pretty good scores from their battles. It was only after they had offended the Canes Venatici Constellation, that the Red Eyed Planet destroyed all their Starry Doors to protect themselves. Until later, no one actually saw them anymore. The Red Eyed Planet enjoyed a fleeting moment of gloriousness of about 10 years. I remember the Red Eyed Statues were very special. They could merge together and turn into an extraordinary being. And that is the Five Eyed Statue.”
“That’s this?” Tang Tian turned the small statue around. He asked out of curiosity as his eyes were wide opened: “This is really interesting. It actually has 5 eyes.”
Earlier on, his hair stood. But now, Tang Tian had a fearless look.
“Mmhmm, it’s very rare to see a Five Eyed Statue. Although nobody liked the Red Eyed Statues, the Five Eyed Statues are very famous. They’re invaluable when it comes to auctions, because they have a magical power. The statue’s five eyes can release different auras. These auras can invigorate all the hidden blood meridians in your body.”
Gu Xue instructed Tang Tian carefully: “Ah Tian, it’s best you don’t tell anyone you have a Five Eyed Statue.”
“Invigorate blood meridians?” Tang Tian’s eyes lit up and handed it over to Gu Xue: “Then I’ll give it to you! It can definitely help you with your hidden blood meridians!”
Gu Xue was comforted, but she shook her head with determination: “It’s too expensive! Also, I don’t have the ability to protect it. Ah Tian, you haven’t activated your blood meridians, you need it.”
Gu Xue’s eyes were as pure as water. Tang Tian smiled: “I’m sure I don’t have any blood meridians. I’ve just swallowed the blood of the Dwarf Blood Meridians and Angel Blood Meridians, yet I have no reaction to it. It’s a waste to pass it to me. If you have this item, Ah Xue, you might not even need to use such dangerous methods to activate your blood meridians.”
After that, Tang Tian stuffed the Five Eyed Statue into Gu Xue’s hands: “That’s it.”
Before waiting for Gu Xue to say a word, he looked up to the sky: “It’s getting late, we have to get back. Let’s go!”
Tang Tian grabbed hold of Gu Xue and leapt up into the air.
Gu Xue bit onto her lips tightly, keeping her mouth shut.
The two had just arrived back at the Gu Family. Looking at Mu Lei’s worrying face, the smile on her face faded. She asked calmly: “What happened?”
Mu Lei revealed a bitter smile: “I’ve just received some news saying the Excellency Xu Shi Group will be coming down to the Gu Family for a battle in five days. They’re asking for our cooperation.”
Gu Xue looked flustered and angry: “Even if Xu Zhang Tian is the Excellency of the Humble Forest Planet but how can he interfere with the Gu Family’s matters?”
“What is an Excellency?” Tang Tian looked curious.
Gu Xue clenched her teeth, eyes filled with anger and explained: “Humble Forest Planet belongs to the Onyx Soul. The Onyx Soul appointed a leader to govern a planet like Humble Forest Planet. Under the leader of the planet, there are 3 to 5 Excellencies. Humble Forest Planet is smaller and so it only has three Excellencies. The planet leader and the Excellencies are experts of the Onyx Soul, they are extremely powerful.”
Tang Tian eyes opened wide: “How powerful are they?”
“Very. They are appointed by the higher ups. Xu Chang Tian is ranked thirteenth on Humble Forest Planet. He is much more powerful than the Hua brothers. In addition to that, the Excellency has the authority to build his own group of Excellencies. Although there aren’t many working for Xu Chang Tian, amongst the ten, there’s not one who is not an expert. Three of them are ranked in the top fifty. As for the rest, they do not rank behind 100 either.”
“That’s formidable!” Tang Tian sighed a cold breath. There were three from the top fifty. That meant there were three experts just like the Hua brothers.
“Mhhm! Theoretically, the Excellency group will not interfere with any family matters. That’s the regulations of the Humble Forest Planet. Each year, we just have to hand over a report.” Gu Xue looked bad. She calmed herself down and looked at Mu Lei: “Uncle Mu, go and investigate. See if you can find out why the Excellency group is coming to the Gu Family.”
Mu Lei nodded hard: “Okay!”
After that, he went out without hesitation.
