Chapter 208.2: Jun Xins Past (2/2)
“The Seven Great Saint Tribes’ Saint Envoy?” These words caused Tang Doudou great shock. Her eyes widened in disbelief. “But you, you…”
“I’m a descendant of the Seven Great Saint Tribes. After becoming a Saint Envoy, I found out from researching in their book repository that I am from the Wind Tribe. However, I didn’t tell anyone about it. In the Saint Tribes, Saint Envoys had much more power than the descendants, and also had much more freedom.”
“Many years passed again. While I was investigating the Seven Great Saint Tribes’ secrets, I discovered an even more important secret and at the same time also became the alleged Hall Master of the God Firmament Hall.” (Basically, in public they call him that, but it’s not necessarily true.)
“It couldn’t be that God Firmament Hall still has some other Hall Master? What secrets were you investigating? You know my grandpa, could it be that he’s also someone of the Saint Tribes? Am I…”
“Don’t overthink things. I only got to know your grandpa through the Master of Wind Cloud Island. It has nothing to do with the Saint Tribes. Other than the fact that you’ve been poisoned with Disseminating Tassel Fragrance and hence will be raised to become a blood source, you have no connection at all to the Seven Great Saint Tribes.”
However, Tang Doudou saw that his gaze flickered as he said this. It was clear that he was still keeping something from her.
“It couldn’t be that you’re just saying this in order to console me?”
Jun Xin had finished saying most of the important things that he wanted to say, so he returned to his usual casual manner. Curling his lips disdainfully, he said, “Who would have the time to bother to try and console you? I’m simply putting out the facts!”
“However, there’s still one more important matter that I have to tell you about. Su Yi’s motives when he agreed to shelter you back then weren’t simple, so it’s best if you stay on guard around him. He acts carefree and casual, but you shouldn’t be fooled. When he was young, the entire world called had called Cloud City the Devil’s City.”
“Devil’s City?”
“Because a devil lived in it, obviously! You really are dumb!” Jun Xin rapped her head. “Aiy, now that I think about it, I’m the only one with pure motives, everyone else all harbor secret motives. If you hadn’t lost your memories, there’d probably be a lot of people that want to kill you. It’s just a pity that now…”
“What you’re saying is that people wanting to kill me is a good thing?” Although she spoke about it lightly, she knew that everything Jun Xin said was true. If it wasn’t, she wouldn’t have transmigrated into this world and the real Li Xueyi wouldn’t have gone to report to the underworld at such a young age.
