Chapter 405 - Mixed Blood (1/2)
Qiu Ling had no idea that his previous lies had managed to ruin his relationship. Instead, he was giddy with excitement. Alright, yes, it wouldn't be easy to find that child the God of War knew nothing about but hadn't Xin Lan said the same about someone of blood that was mixed three ways? And now look at this! They already knew about three people with that type of blood! If that was so easy, then it shouldn't be too hard to find that child.
He looked at Qiang Yan with shimmering eyes. ”So, uncle-in-law, do you have any idea how to find your child?”
Qiang Yan frowned. He had only found out about this child now. How would he know where to find it? It wasn't like he had returned from that trial yesterday and could just go to the place where Huan Yin and he had lived before to find them.
”Don't take too much time to think about it. This is a very important matter!”
Qiang Yan looked at Qiu Ling and shook his head. He really didn't know what to say to this guy!
Xin Lan also narrowed his eyes at Qiu Ling. With how excited that boy looked, he should probably worry that he would give away what this really was about. He couldn't let that happen!
”Fate's Scribe, that child should have a high amount of human blood. There wouldn't be a scroll of fate detailing its life, would there?”
Shun Tao shook his head. ”Unfortunately not.”
”Then can't you …” Qiang Yan frowned. ”Don't the scribes have the ability to see what is going on in the mortal realm? I remember seeing them observe people through plain water.”
Shun Tao nodded. ”We indeed have that ability. But just like the scrolls of fate it only pertains to mortals. That child … I'm afraid it was born immortal.”
Xin Lan's eyes narrowed further. They already had such a huge lead. He couldn't disappoint his master! What they needed now was another clue, just one bit of information that would give them the possibility to search further from there. They at least needed a name or a place where that child had been or maybe a person it had come into touch with.
Mn? Xin Lan's gaze shot to the scroll of fate in Shun Tao's hands. That Huan Yin hadn't had a scroll of fate either but they had still managed to find a clue about her so … ”Fate's Scribe, you were able to find this woman through the God of War's scroll of fate. Can't we do the same for the child?”
Shun Tao once again shook his head. ”His fate has already ended. His scroll —”
”I'm not talking about his scroll of fate. Naturally, the God of War wasn't there then. But the child certainly hasn't only been in contact with his mother. They lived in the mortal realm and considering that they are immortal it should have been for a fairly long time. It is impossible for them to have evaded mortal eyes for all this time. Thus they should appear in quite a few scrolls of fate of mortals. Isn't that right?”
Shun Tao slowly nodded. ”That's true.”
”Then how about searching for these scrolls instead? It might take a lot of time but we could at least gather some clues as to where those two have been. If we get a clear enough lead, we could go and investigate further in the mortal world.”
