Dragon's Origin

Chapter 43: A Very Important Matter

Experts understand the importance of confidence, but that is built on a reasonable foundation. It wouldn't be easy to make Song Yan and Song Laoyu, who have lived in this world for decades, understand such unconventional thinking and break free from it.

At least not Song Yan and Song Laoyu right now. Both of them were clearly caught in a hysterical train of thought. Why is it that something that clearly shouldn't be possible can manifest so normally in Wang Sheng, as if it should be this way? Why?

Also perplexed was A-Qi in the nearby room. Da Er and Da Xiong were both A-Qi's assistants, simple-minded and not given to much thinking. But A-Qi was different; she was a very clever woman, otherwise she wouldn't have held the leading position in their trio.

The problem was, the smarter a person is, the easier it is for them to get stuck in a rut. She hadn't personally witnessed Wang Sheng's previous state, so naturally she couldn't be as shocked as Song Yan and Song Laoyu. But everyone knew that Wang Sheng had a low-grade remnant soul. Could that be false?

Impossible! If it were false, Song Yan and Song Laoyu wouldn't have reacted like that. But remnant souls can be repaired, so how can a low-grade one be upgraded?

While the clever ones were lost in confusion, Wang Sheng, watching Song Yan and Song Laoyu's expressions, knew that his words had been wasted. Of course, he understood that it was impossible for the two of them to change their thinking all at once. There are plenty of stubborn people on Earth who cling to ridiculous notions until their death, and there are no shortage of such people in this world.

The two were still in shock, and Wang Sheng didn't intend to interrupt their thought process, so he leisurely sipped his tea. By the time the pot of tea had been brewed several times and was as weak as water, and Wang Sheng had replaced it with a new pot, the two of them slowly returned to normal.

Unable to explain it, Song Yan and Song Laoyu were now even more convinced that Wang Sheng was a disciple of some reclusive family. From the moment they met Wang Sheng, whether he was facing Dai Huan's assassins or accepting a low-grade remnant soul, whether facing the triple realm peak Thousand Illusions Poisonous Serpent or the quadruple realm male serpent, Wang Sheng had never been discouraged or afraid, always displaying that confident demeanor. This was definitely not normal.

Could this be the secret of a reclusive family? From childhood, they are not allowed to come into contact with the concept of primordial souls, but are only instilled with the effect of confidence. Once released, no matter what kind of primordial soul they encounter, they will not be bound by the common sense they have learned since childhood?

"So, how many acupoints do you have now?" Song Yan was young and thought faster, accepting this fact more quickly and recovering more easily than Song Laoyu. Seeing Wang Sheng drinking tea alone, she couldn't help but ask.

"Two," Wang Sheng didn't hide it, still answering with full confidence.

"Only two?" Song Yan was a little disappointed. But looking at Wang Sheng's lack of disappointment, she couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think two is a bit few?"

"Few?" Wang Sheng saw that Song Laoyu was also attracted by this question and stopped thinking, chuckled lightly and asked, "If you have a hundred acupoints but can't launch a spiritual energy attack, you're still useless. I only have two acupoints, but I can launch a spiritual energy attack, which is a success. What's the difference between more and less? The goal is to be able to use spiritual energy, not to compare the number of acupoints, right? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"

Song Yan and Song Laoyu were depressed, being lectured by Wang Sheng again, but they really couldn't refute it. After all, the number of acupoints is ultimately for using spiritual energy. More means more spiritual energy can be used, and less means less. Although Wang Sheng's is extremely rare, as Wang Sheng said, being able to use spiritual energy is enough, so why pursue the number? It really is putting the cart before the horse.

A-Qi, motionless and half-reclining, listened to Da Er's relay and was also reflecting. Was the path she had been pursuing before wrong? Why had she only pursued the grade of primordial souls and the number of acupoints, but ignored the most fundamental problem?

No one knew Wang Sheng's origins. Only Song Yan and Song Laoyu knew that Wang Sheng had fallen from the sky; the others who were present at the time were already dead. Not knowing this, A-Qi couldn't figure out where Wang Sheng got that confidence.

When Song Yan looked over again, Wang Sheng didn't let her ask, but instead asked her, "Has your family's matter been resolved?" Song Yan and Song Laoyu could now come to Shanglin City openly, so the problem shouldn't be too big. But Wang Sheng still felt it wasn't that simple.

"It's temporarily calm," Song Yan, although not highly cultivated, was very clear about her own understanding: "They have been caught with their weaknesses, and they won't dare to make waves in the short term. But it's hard to say in the future."

The array stones buried in the heads of the two Thousand Illusions Poisonous Serpents were found by Song Laoyu, which was solid evidence. Putting it out, several Song family elders wouldn't dare to say anything. Someone tampering with the trial of the direct daughter of the Song family head, if this spread, not to mention the elders, even the emperor would have to abdicate.

The elders who arranged Song Yan's trial, even if they were unwilling, had to put on a show of avoiding suspicion, pretending to send people to investigate. Elders with conflicts took the opportunity to suppress others. In short, the elders' meeting was also a mess, but Song Yan gained a foothold and didn't have to worry about anything for the time being.

But just as things calmed down here, they heard that Fourth Master Dai was going to personally deal with Wang Sheng. Anxious, Song Yan immediately rushed over, even she couldn't say why.

"Come back with me!" Song Yan remembered why she had come this time. She had forgotten to mention it before, but now she finally said it: "No matter how powerful Fourth Master Dai is, he wouldn't dare to start a massacre in the Tianhe Song family."

At the level of the Song family and the Dai family, even if the family is declining, there are always a few hidden experts. Fourth Master Dai's reputation is only great because of his exploits outside these years. He wouldn't dare to make trouble at the Tianhe Song family's main residence, even if he had ten times the guts.

Dai Huan and Fourth Master Dai only dared to bully Song Yan, who was in a remote place like Shanglin Song family and whose identity was unknown to others. That was because Song Yan was afraid of failing the trial and didn't dare to reveal her identity. Once she revealed her identity, the trial would automatically fail, otherwise Dai Huan and Fourth Master Dai would have to weigh the consequences.

"Come back with you to be an live-in son-in-law?" Wang Sheng wasn't afraid to joke about himself, smiling at Song Yan.

A word made Song Yan blush, lowering her head and not daring to say a word.

Song Laoyu understood that this was actually impossible. Wang Sheng was just a rootless barbarian. Wanting to be the Song family's son-in-law was definitely no easier than climbing to the sky. At this time, the young lady didn't speak, so he could only smooth things over.

"First be a guard or something. As long as you settle down in the Song family, Dai Si will never dare to do anything," Song Laoyu smiled and explained to Song Yan: "When the storm passes, you can do whatever you want. Dai Si can't possibly stare at you alone for the rest of your life."

"I appreciate the kindness," Wang Sheng shook his head: "Unfortunately, I have a mission here, well, a mission. I have to find my target."

"Your mission?" Song Yan also raised her head curiously, asking in confusion: "What is it?"

"Maybe, I'm here to kill someone!" Wang Sheng replied.

"Maybe?" Song Yan became even more curious, and then asked: "Why do you say that? Who are you going to kill?"

"I don't know." Wang Sheng's mind flashed with those beautiful eyes, the scene that suddenly popped up when he was parachuting, and the sentence "Kill me!" seemed to echo in his ears again. But Wang Sheng still didn't know what the woman in the dream was called? Why did she want him to kill her instead of saving her or something else.

"You don't know who he is?" Song Yan widened her eyes, asking a little amused: "There's always a name, right?"

"I don't know what her name is," Wang Sheng's answer was both straightforward and speechless to Song Yan.

The newest novel is first published on 6_9_shu_ba!

"Then how do you know it's him?" Song Yan asked angrily: "What if you kill the wrong person? There's always a sign that can make you recognize her, right?"

"Her primordial soul should be a phoenix," Wang Sheng thought for a while and answered a crucial question.

When Wang Sheng said the word "phoenix," Song Yan's pupils suddenly shrank to a point, then returned to normal, and her whole body almost shook violently. Fortunately, Song Yan's control was good. Under forced control, her actions were not slow at all, and her performance was as casual as just now, as if nothing had happened.

Wang Sheng didn't seem to notice this, he was thinking about the beautiful eyes of the woman in the dream. The Song Laoyu next to him was also not abnormal, as if he had never heard of it.

Not only was Song Yan shocked, but A-Qi in the distance also frowned in confusion after hearing Da Er's relay: "Have you heard of a primordial soul called Phoenix?"

Da Er and Da Xiong both shook their heads. They had never heard of the things Wang Sheng said.

"Where did I hear this name?" A-Qi frowned, unable to remember when she had heard the name. But she was sure that she must have seen or heard of it somewhere, and it was recorded in a very important place.

"I must have seen this name somewhere." After thinking for a while, A-Qi still couldn't remember more, but she intuitively realized that this thing was very important, even more important than Wang Sheng's low-grade primordial soul being able to enter the first realm. A-Qi made a decision in an instant: "No, I have to go back and ask the elder."

"Aren't you going to watch the excitement?" Da Er and Da Xiong were stunned. Just a primordial soul name, is it necessary to do this? But they didn't dare to easily refuse A-Qi's decision, so they could only say sullenly: "Then we'll go back together."

"No, you continue to follow," A-Qi directly shook her head: "Especially Da Er, you have to follow them closely, carefully remember what they said, and come to me when I go back to find out."

Da Er nodded and agreed, continuing to listen to the movement in front. Da Xiong looked at A-Qi, waiting for instructions.

"You go find out the news about Fourth Master Dai, and by the way, leak the whereabouts of Wang Sheng and Miss Song to concentrate the Dai family's men," A-Qi instructed: "Fourth Master Dai and Miss Song of the Song family will definitely have a wonderful thing happening when they meet here."
