231 The Golden Scales
Ye Xuan could feel Shen Changlin’s gaze. He shook his head and nodded from time to time, not knowing what he was thinking.
“Elder Ye…”
Suddenly, Shen Changlin came over with a mysterious look on his face. He lowered his voice and said, “Tell me honestly, is your real identity the heir of some ancient hidden clan or an old senior who has lived for a thousand years?”
The more he spoke, the more unreliable Shen Changlin became. However, he was still very confident and looked like he was speaking with conviction.
Ye Xuan was dumbfounded.
It turned out that Shen Changlin’s sizing up just now was actually adding so much drama to him! He had to admire his imagination.
He didn’t know that his silence meant agreeing to Shen Changlin.
“I knew that!”
Shen Changlin was excited as if he had discovered a new continent. He patted his chest and said, “Elder Ye, rest assured. No matter what your identity is, just based on our friendship, rest assured I’ll keep this a secret.
His gaze revealed a bit of curiosity. “Elder Ye, then can you tell me what your objective and mission are?”
Perhaps it was to restore the might of the prominent ancient families or to awaken some kind of divine beast. Or perhaps he was on the way to find a divine artifact. All kinds of speculations flashed through Shen Changlin’s mind.
Ye Xuan could tell at a glance that he must have misunderstood again. “Then what purpose and mission do you think I have?”
Shen Changlin subconsciously said what he was thinking.
The dignified chief disciple of Sword Sect, who might even be the future sect master, was actually a fool.
Ye Xuan’s eyes revealed such a message. Perhaps it was too straightforward, so even Shen Changlin felt it. “Did I guess wrong?”
“You’re extremely wrong,” Ye Xuan’s face was expressionless. “I’m just an ordinary elder of the Tai Qing Sect. It’s not as complicated as you think.”
“I don’t believe it!”
Shen Changlin’s eyes were filled with suspicion. “Don’t joke around. You call yourself an ordinary elder? Elder Ye, you’re too humble.”
Could an ordinary elder take out so many good things? He could even solve the difficult problem of the extermination of Penglai Immortal Beasts. He purified the sealed Penglai Immortal Beasts and took out the form transformation pill to save the remaining clansmen.
Now, there was a huge amount of dragon blood to help the dragon evolve. Even though Qian Yuan was already soaking in the pool, Ye Xuan didn’t stop the infusion of dragon blood.
Even today’s almighty experts couldn’t do these things. Each and every one of them was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Even in ancient times, when there were many capable people, they still couldn’t do these.
But for Ye Xuan, none of this was a problem. It was as if he could do these easily. How could he be an ordinary person? Some people would even believe that he was a half-immortal.
There was probably nothing in the world that Ye Xuan couldn’t do.
Ye Xuan’s face was full of sincerity. “I’m really just an ordinary person. At most, my family is a little rich.”
Father Ye, who was thousands of miles away, sneezed and rubbed his nose. “Could it be that stinky brat is thinking of me? I wonder how he’s doing outside. He’s leaving such a huge inheritance and saying that he wants to make a living.”
The furnishings here were all priceless treasures, like cabbages that could be seen everywhere. From this, one could see how rich the Ye clan was.
If Shen Changlin knew that the “a little rich” Ye Xuan was talking about was the richest Ye clan, would he be so shocked that he could not speak?
Shen Changlin couldn’t help but give Ye Xuan a thumbs up. “Elder Ye, I like the way you talk nonsense with a straight face.”
He had an “I understand” expression on his face. It must be because of Ye Xuan’s special identity that he couldn’t disclose many things, so it was more convenient to act as an ordinary person and not easy to attract attention. That was why Ye Xuan was like this.
“Don’t worry, Elder Ye. I’m a tight-lipped person. I promise I won’t even tell the master.”
Far away in Jingdu, Mo Jianming, who was in seclusion, also couldn’t help but sneeze like Father Ye.
Seeing Shen Changlin’s expression, Ye Xuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Alright, as you wish.”
While the two of them were conversing, there was movement in the quiet blood pool.
“Boom!”
The golden waves were half the height of a person, and a lot of liquid was spilled outside. One could vaguely see a creature writhing back and forth in the pool.
The dragon’s roar of pain was endless, and even Shen Changlin was a little nervous.
“There shouldn’t be any problem, right?”
If anything happened to Qian Yuan, he was sure that the powerful demonic beasts outside would not let the two of them off easily.
Ye Xuan touched his chin. After all, he didn’t know much about bloodline evolution. “It shouldn’t be a problem.”
Countless sharp scales fell off and scattered in all directions like raindrops. These scales were more or less covered in blood.
Soon, in the golden pool, a faint blood color rippled. As the blood color became thicker, Shen Changlin’s expression became nervous.
“What if the evolution fails…”
This was not a small matter. After all, it was to remove the impurities in the body. Qian Yuan did not tell them the detailed steps. It was useless even if it did. Therefore, they did not know what would happen if it failed.
“I believe in Qian Yuan. It’ll succeed.”
Ye Xuan wasn’t worried. After all, Qian Yuan was able to go from mixed blood to now, which was enough to show that its strength was extraordinary. If its bloodline was purer, its achievements would be more than this.
As the two of them were talking, the bottom of the pool became muddy. Golden liquid mixed with red blood mixed and an inexplicable slender shadow could be vaguely seen.
