Chapter 252 - Descendant Of The Ceng Family

The old man was very concerned about the Spiritual Bracelet of Frost, and even made a move to save Lei Yu who was about to die because of it. Lei Yu had realized those two points. For some reason, the old man did not try to take the Spiritual Bracelet of Frost away but saved him. It wasn’t difficult to deduce that he and the owner of the Spiritual Bracelet of Frost may have a relationship. If Lei Yu said that he took the bracelet from the treasure trove of a tyrant, that would show that he and this bracelet had no relationship. And the results of that would be unpredictable.

After quickly thinking things through, Lei Yu instead asked: “Why should I tell you? Could it be that you want to take away the family treasure that my grandfather left me?”

“What?!” Your… your grandfather left behind this family treasure for you?” The old man was so shocked that even his voice was trembling a bit.

“Th… that’s right!” Lei Yu was also shocked by the old man’s reaction. There was a reason for Lei Yu to makeup such a reply. He wanted to give the other a vague answer so that whether the old man was a friend or enemy to the bracelet’s owner, he could easily come up with more stories.

If the old man and the owner of the bracelet were friends, then that was easy to handle. Lei Yu could follow the flow and say he was a descendant and would naturally escape any life-threatening situations. If they were enemies, it was still easy to handle because Lei Yu could say that his ancestors got a hold of it by accident and had started to pass it down through the generations. That way, they would have no connection to the original owner of the bracelet.

“What is your name?” The old man asked.

“Grandpa! His name is Lightning!” Bao Er rushed to reply.

“Nonsense!” The old man clearly didn’t believe anyone would have such a name. It was probably a pseudonym to hide one’s real identity. “Hurry up and tell me what your real name is? And what relationship do you have with our family’s old master?”

“Old… old master?” Lei Yu blinked a few times while his brains seemed to hit a dead end.

“Do not lie to me or else I will rip you into pieces!” The old man fiercely clenched his fist that gave of a “pak pak” sound. Lei Yu never doubted the old man’s capabilities; he felt that when the old man crushed his throat previously, it was probably as easy as stepping on an ant.

If he spoke out a family name or a first name that was not related to what the old man wanted to hear, Lei Yu might encounter a disastrous consequence. Sweat had already started dripping down his forehead, “What should I do? What should I do? Why didn’t I think about the possibility of such a close relationship?”

Just as Lei Yu had fallen into a pit of despair and anxiety, he heard a voice in his mind going: “Master! Master!”

Lei Yu was startled, “Xue Yu! Is that you Xue Yu?”

“Yes, master. Don’t panic, I can tell you my previous owner was called Ceng Yi Han. You can follow the family name and give yourself a name.”

Lei Yu was overjoyed and was about to say something when the old man snapped: “Quickly, tell me or else I will twist off your head!”

“Why are you so anxious?!” Lei Yu cleared his throat while his lips trembled a bit. “My… my… my name is Ceng… Ceng Yu!”

“How did you know that this Spiritual Bracelet of Frost was left to you by your grandfather?”

“This… I… my father told me it. He said that this bracelet was created after my grandfather exhausted his life’s effort. After leaving this to me, he then disappeared leaving me alone to drift throughout the Chaotic Star Sea.

The old man felt his body tremble and his scalp go numb. It was a while later before he recovered his senses. With red eyes and a “plop” sound, the old man kneeled and said “Young master! Ceng Hong will now kowtow to you!”
