Chapter 133 This is a rumor!
Song Zhiyuan woke up.
He dreamt that they were lined up to be chosen by the lineage, but none of the people in front of him were chosen.
"Senior brother, senior brother, wake up, it's your turn."
Xue Huairui's voice woke Song Zhiyuan. He opened his eyes abruptly and found that there was no one in front of him.
Behind him, Xue Huairui stood and asked in confusion, "Senior brother, were you asleep just now? It's your turn."
Seeing that only he and Xue Huairui were in the empty room, Song Zhiyuan was taken aback. "Xiaorui, where is everyone else? Why are there only the two of us?"
“They were teleported out,” Xue Huairui said, seemingly puzzled as to why Song Zhiyuan asked this. “Senior brother, what’s wrong? Senior brother Qiu was just teleported out. I saw you had your eyes closed, so you probably didn’t see it, right?”
Song Zhiyuan didn't know what was wrong with him. Hearing Xue Huairui say this, he subconsciously said, "I'm probably just a little tired lately. Xiaorui, I'll go over first."
Xue Huairui nodded and watched him stand before the inheritance with concern.
In Song Zhiyuan's eyes, the inheritance was a golden ball of light. A golden light slowly approached Song Zhiyuan, and an aged voice rang out: "You are the one I have chosen to inherit the legacy."
Song Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his senses and bowed to the group of light.
He looked at Xue Huairui, "Xiaorui, you come too."
Xue Huairui nodded, and under Song Zhiyuan's ambiguous gaze, the inheritance was also chosen to be Xue Huairui.
"Guardian, can we both receive the inheritance?"
Song Zhiyuan asked the question.
The ball of light flickered twice. "Okay."
After saying that, the ball of light shone brightly, and two beams of golden light simultaneously entered the bodies of Song Zhiyuan and Xue Huairui.
The two of them closed their eyes to receive the inheritance, and thus did not notice that behind the stone pillar behind the ball of light, several people and dogs were sneaking around peeking out.
Wu You asked doubtfully, "Palace Master, is your method really going to work? Don't let it be mistaken for an attack, or we'll all be finished."
Yun Zhao rolled her eyes at him, "Attack what? Those are all good things, but..."
She made a gesture, and the system withdrew its inheritance, waking Song Zhiyuan up.
Yes, the light orb is a cameo appearance by the system.
After Song Zhiyuan closed his eyes, he felt a powerful force. Just as he was about to absorb that force, it suddenly disappeared.
He opened his eyes, staring blankly at the ball of light. "Guardian, what is this...?"
Yun Zhao spoke from behind the ball of light: "There is something on you resisting the power of the inheritance, and the power of the inheritance has been expelled. Also, I have detected the aura of many demonic beasts on you. Why is that?"
Song Zhiyuan was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Guardian, I don't know what's on my body that's resisting the inheritance. As for the demon beast... I do have one."
He took out a spirit beast pouch and said to the ball of light, "Guardian, this is a demon beast I caught in the secret realm. I originally intended to take it out and have it contracted with a member of my family."
Yun Zhao didn't expect him to reveal his purpose so easily, nor did he expect that Song Zhiyuan's purpose was so simple.
She continued, "I understand. Perhaps you captured too many demonic beasts, and the lineage mistakenly believed you to be an enemy."
"If you wish to continue receiving the inheritance, release them; otherwise, I will send you away immediately."
Song Zhiyuan paused, then said with difficulty, "Your Excellency, you may not know this, but I captured these demonic beasts not for my own selfish reasons."
He recounted the grudges between the human and demon races, saying that the demon race was stirring up trouble and that war with the human race was imminent. He explained that he was taking these demon beasts out to strengthen the human race, so that the human race would not become too powerful and the demon race too weak.
"If I could only choose between demonic beasts and inheritance, I would choose demonic beasts. After all, choosing inheritance would enhance my individual strength, while demonic beasts could enhance the strength of the human race."
Yun Zhao: "..."
Qi Yan: "..."
Isn't the demon race currently engaged in a civil war? When will they start a war with the human race?
Song Zhiyuan is spreading rumors. If the demon race finds out, they will hunt him down to the ends of the earth!
Qi, ten thousand years ago, the Demon Emperor Yan thought angrily, "Once I control the Demon Realm, I will definitely make Song Zhiyuan the number one enemy of the Demon Realm!"
Yun Zhao was thinking that Song Zhiyuan's lies were quite convincing. If she were a complete fabrication, she might be fooled by his righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor.
Wu You muttered under his breath, "Are Zixu and I really that stupid?"
Yun Zhao said coolly, "I don't know what will happen to Zixu, but I know you will definitely fall for it."
Utopia: "..."
The ball of light jumped a few times and remained silent for a long time. In Song Zhiyuan's view, it was hesitating.
So Song Zhiyuan remained silent and waited quietly for the ball of light to react.
The demonic beasts were the most important thing, but the sheer power of that beast was something he truly coveted.
If he could obtain that power, perhaps he wouldn't have to be manipulated by others anymore.
Song Zhiyuan waited anxiously, and time seemed to pass exceptionally slowly. Finally, the ball of light spoke.
"Since you are so righteous, I will not force you. I will send you away now."
Song Zhiyuan: "..."
Why is this different from what he expected?
Song Zhiyuan frowned, about to say something, when Xue Huairui suddenly opened her eyes.
She looked at the ball of light, as if she had made an important decision, "Guardian, may I give the power of inheritance I was given to my senior brother?"
Song Zhiyuan was surprised, "Xiao Rui, you..."
Xue Huairui shook her head, signaling Song Zhiyuan to be quiet. "Senior brother, I heard everything you just said."
"I had no idea that the demon race was about to go to war with our human race. Unlike you, senior brother, I am not the backbone of the future war between the human and demon races."
Xue Huairui earnestly said, "Rather than me accepting the inherited power, it's better to give it to my senior brother. I'll still need his protection then."
Song Zhiyuan was deeply moved. "Xiao Rui, do you really think so?"
Xue Huairui suppressed her nausea and said sincerely, "Yes, my cultivation is not good enough. I am very grateful to my senior brother for protecting me. In my heart, my senior brother is my own brother!"
After saying that, she glanced at Song Zhiyuan shyly.
Song Zhiyuan felt as refreshed as if he had eaten ice cream on a hot summer day. He smiled and said, "Xiao Rui, I am your senior brother, it is my duty to protect you."
This girl says she treats him like a brother, but she probably actually has feelings for him.
Xue Huairui's glance brought Song Zhiyuan immense satisfaction.
Yun Zhao made a "vomiting" gesture and continued, "The power of inheritance can be transferred, but you just absorbed a portion. If you decide to transfer it to your senior brother, you will need to pass on the power to him."
Xue Huairui looked at Song Zhiyuan, "Senior brother, what do you think?"
Although Song Zhiyuan was eager to agree, he was afraid that Xue Huairui would be upset if he agreed too quickly. He hesitated for a long time, and Xue Huairui persuaded him several times before he finally agreed.
"Xiao Rui, don't worry, your senior brother will make it up to you after we leave the secret realm."
Song Zhiyuan said with great conviction.
Xue Huairui smiled and said, "I am one with you, Senior Brother. You don't need to be so polite."
