389 National Treasure

“Perhaps it’s because the Ji family once gave Ji Qing a medicine that could make the bones of the children she gave birth to very special. An ordinary person’s year’s worth of martial arts training is equivalent to two years for them. How could the Ji family let an outsider benefit from such talent? Therefore, since long ago, there was a rule that if Ji Qing gave birth to a girl, she would be the next Saintess and if Ji Qing gave birth to a boy, he had to marry the daughter of the patriarch! Actually, the previous Saintess didn’t have such a mission because she developed two portions at that time. One was for the patriarch’s wife to eat, and the other was for Ji Qing to eat.” Ji Jing suddenly remembered that he had eavesdropped on his father when he was young.

It turned out that Ji Qing was the focus of the clan’s nurturing of the next generation. No wonder they chased after Ji Qing and didn’t even let her off even after she died. It was because the thing they had carefully nurtured was gone!

However, everyone also understood the underlying implication. That was, the Ji family also had the ambition for world domination! This ambition had existed ever since they developed that medicine, and they carried out their plan by using Ji Qing as a pawn!

Xu Qing’s tone was cold as she said, “I don’t care what those people think, but if they dare to covet my husband, I’ll definitely make them regret it!” Xu Qing rarely revealed this side of her.

!!
However, this side of her made Qiao Yanhui even more enamored with her!

“Mommy is so mighty!” The three children clapped at the same time.

Xu Qing raised her eyebrows cockily.

Ao Jie sweated. Did this family even know what humility was?

“Actually, the most powerful person isn’t the children born in Ji Qing’s generation, but the next generation. They will be the most powerful people in the world!” Actually, Ji Jing was a little suspicious. Was there really such a medicine in this world?

“It seems like their main focus is to nurture the next generation, but why did they wait so long?” Ao Jie was a little puzzled. According to the Ji family’s mindset, the most powerful combination should be Qiao Yanhui and that vicious Saintess! But this would take at least twenty years. This drawn out plan wasn’t in line with the ambition of a person who wanted to dominate the world.

“It’s because they’re fighting for something and they won’t be able to get it in a short period of time,” Ji Jing said.

Everyone stared at Ji Jing, as if what Ji Jing was about to say next had something to do with them!

“They’re fighting for the treasure of the Blue Star Empire!” Ji Jing said with a sigh.

As the most powerful empire in the past and an empire that once ruled the world, everyone praised and admired it. Of course, its final ending was also a pity.

“If you want to take over the world, not only do you need power, but you also need abudant wealth. The wealth of the Blue Star Empire, which once ruled the world, is immeasurable…” Ao Jie stopped here. No matter which country it was, they only had a few records of the Blue Star Empire. It seemed that someone had deliberately erased the traces of the Blue Star Empire, so the treasure seemed to be only a legend!

“It’s said that the eight secret families all have clues about the treasure. Together, they can form a complete map! Therefore, they will fight amongst themselves sooner or later! No family wants to show the other families the exact location of the place, let alone split the gains equally.” Ji Jing sneered.

Qiao Yanhui’s fair fingers tapped the stone table. It was unknown what he was thinking.

“No wonder many unidentified people have appeared recently. It’s because of the treasure.” Xu Qing immediately understood.

A few days ago, Xu Sizhi told her that he had discovered that many people with strange movements had appeared in various shops recently, so there was probably going to be trouble. Previously, she was a little puzzled, but now, she realized that it was because of the Blue Star Empire’s treasure! She had heard that not only did that treasure contain wealth comparable to an entire country’s, but it also had unrivaled martial arts techniques that could revive the dead! The rumors were getting more and more exaggerated.

“I’m really getting more and more curious about the origins of the Eight Great Clans. Why do the Eight Great Clans know many things that even the royal family doesn’t? I suspect that the ancestors of the Eight Great Clans were once powerful people in the Blue Star Empire!” Ao Jie began to make all sorts of guesses.

Everyone present agreed with Ao Jie’s guess. This explanation seemed very reasonable!

“It doesn’t matter if it’s as we guessed or not. After all, it will take a lot of time to collect all the clues from the Eight Great Class. Therefore, our current priority is the Ji family’s engagement.” Uncle Yu concluded!

At the mention of the engagement, Xu Qing and Qiao Yanhui immediately became murderous. Even the three children’s expressions were ugly. If they wanted to wreck their family, they couldn’t blame them for being ruthless.
