24 Chapter 20: Undercurrent part 2 (1/2)

The inside of the Study was completely dark and one would not be able to even see their own fingers. Xu Yun walked in the darkness. he suddenly felt like this dark room was huge beyond words as if this was a world of its own. He felt as if he was the only person in the room but also like he was being watched.

He spent a lot of time but he could not walk out of the darkness. Not to mention he felt like he was being tested .

Just when he was getting a bit frustrated He felt his eyes begin to itch, after about 20secs his vision suddenly returned as well as a system prompt

{Learnt Night vision (celestial white tiger)}.

His pupil began glowing faintly with a violet hue as they developed into slits like that of a tiger. he could finally see the room, he could see the mahogany shelves with old books on every column, even the Oak table and the rug made with the mane of a flame Sun Lion, he could see as clear as day. As time went on, Some several coloured lines appeared within his vision, he became curious as to what they were so he asked system internally. 'System what are those lines??'

{that's a unique trait of the tiger bloodline, that is the Chi lines of all living beings within 100*100 meters}.

Based on this he knew the Study was way bigger than it looked, he followed the Chi lines with his eye . the Different colors seemed to show what kind of elements this people have and the density showed their cultivation level, there were a total of 9 Grand Masters and two Matchless in kungfu. and he knew one of those two was his uncle as he was clearly in front of him but he wasn't visible to him.

A voice suddenly said, [you really can see us?, I guess my speculations were correct, You really awakened one of you bloodlines. I just didn't expect it to be your mother's.]. a middle aged man with a scholarly air around him suddenly appeared, He had an easy going expression but his eyebrows were locked together in deep thought which was the opposite of easygoing. this person was Xu Yunzheng.

[you knew about my Mother??!] Xu Yun asked,

This made Xu Yunzheng chuckle as he said, [Boy, I was the one who gave them my blessings to be together, I also helped hide her from her family. its just unfortunate that you had awakened her bloodline without me being around to help you, now they will know of your existence.]

Yunzheng sat exhausted on the Chair, as he shook his head. [I know you want to know why its bad if they know of your existence, but you'll not able to understand. besides they are not the major problem so don't worry, on a later date you would know. But now you have awakened her bloodline, you need to make sure no one finds out about it or it could spell doom for you. that even I'd be unable to save you, long ago there was no problems having a beast kin in wushu empire but now they are on a kill on sight policy. I do not have much else to say, but I'm sure with your wits you'll survive. What is your real cultivation level Yun er?] The last question brought back Xu Yun who was in deep thought, with eyes wide open he looked at this uncle of his.

[yes, I've always known that you could cultivate but I just had to pretend for your own safety] Yunzheng seemed to have understood what he was thinking and explained while smiling wryly.

Hearing Yunzheng's words, Xu Y went silent as he weighed his options.

After a while, he said, [I understand, Uncle, I broke into the peak stage of expert of self. it was during the battle I awakened My bloodline.]

Yunzheng Smiled as he looked at Xu Yun before he continued, [In that case, What Sect would you be heading to? because from the look in your eyes I know you won't wait 3 years for the next scholar sect selection so I shall give you a chance. As long as you can get a recommendation from any sect, small or big with your own strength and not the family name, I will allow you to attend.]

Xu Yun was stunned. To find the secret experts holding this token was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.

Furthermore, This people changed identity to the point they even forgot their own identity. But luckily he got one from the lottery system already.

Xu Yun's face suddenly flushed in excitement as he quickly spoke lest Yunzheng changed his words, [A...actually uncle I already got one recommendation token from a mysterious person that night, after he treated me he said he liked my willpower. so he invited me to join the wanderers valley.]

Xu Yun had no alternatives and had no choice but to randomly cook up a Story. Looking at his Uncle who seemed to be frowning, he couldn't help but feel anxious, after all going there was a major step to getting stronger.

.

Eventually, Yunzheng let out a breath, It was like he suddenly came to a decision of a sort. Then he stood up as he slowly walked towards Xu Yun and placed his hands on his shoulders before saying [I will allow it, After all I cannot choose how you live your nor can I control you. though I hate the sect but I believe not everyone there is a bad person.] He said this as he smiled gently making Xu Yun lower his head as excitement filled his eyes. [Thank you uncle].

[That's alright, now you can head back to your activities] he said as he wiggled his eyebrows, his Shoulders shaking and a smile on his face like he was holding back laughter.

Tilting his head sideways as he began to wonder which of his activities could he be referring to, at the end he shrugged his shoulders and left.

From the darkness, The Main family butler appeared and urged, [My Lord, you are not going to Tell him about his father lest he believes those rumors or do I tell him for you?].
