Chapter 260: The Origin of the Peace Lock

Double pupils and blue eyes—such a pair of eyes, no matter what kind of face they were on, could never appear ordinary.

Ancient sayings go: double pupils are the path of the invincible; having extra bones means having extra paths.

This was enough to show the extraordinariness of a double-pupil person.

After the double-pupil woman walked into the shop, she glanced at Ye Lin indifferently.

"Who are you? Where is Uncle Qiu?"

"Oh! I'm a summer intern. My boss isn't here. Just tell me what you want to buy," Ye Lin volunteered.

"Summer intern?"

The double-pupil woman's expression was a bit strange, but she didn't get to the bottom of it and turned to leave.

Just at this moment, her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the peace lock placed in the most conspicuous place in the shop.

The double-pupil woman's footsteps stopped instantly, and then she walked quickly forward to the front of the peace lock.

"When was this thing placed here?"

The double-pupil woman was no longer as indifferent as before, and her breathing became a bit rapid. She felt that some dusty memories of hers were constantly awakening.

"Do you recognize this peace lock?" Ye Lin asked hurriedly. The double-pupil woman looked like she recognized this thing!

"You answer my question first: why is this thing here!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the double-pupil woman flipped open the display case and gripped the peace lock in her hand, her expression quite agitated. A segment of memory suddenly appeared in her mind!

"Uh... this was left here by a friend of mine. Do you have business with him?" Ye Lin said with an innocent face.

The double-pupil woman turned her head and stared fixedly at Ye Lin. Ye Lin felt that under those eyes, it was as if even the color of his underwear had been seen through.

Then, the double-pupil woman questioned him.

"Is this friend you're talking about actually yourself?"

"Fine, I'll assume you have this friend! Then let me tell you a story. After you hear it, help me pass this story on to your friend."

The double-pupil woman moved a stool over, gently tucked her skirt, and sat down in front of Ye Lin.

From this overlooking perspective, Ye Lin had a panoramic view of the Mariana Trench.

"If you look again, I'll dig your eyeballs out first."

The double-pupil woman's cold voice sounded. She was clearly looking down, but it was as if she had eyes on the top of her head, able to discover where Ye Lin was looking.

"You can't blame me for this either. Mr. Lu Xun once said that when flowers are in full bloom, if I don't look, it makes me seem unromantic." Ye Lin shrugged.

The double-pupil woman ignored Ye Lin's glib tongue. She lowered her eyes and looked at the golden peace lock, her thoughts seeming to drift to a place very, very far away.

And from her mouth, Ye Lin finally learned the origin of this peace lock!

The most mysterious of the Five Great Families, the Student Zhuge Family, was located within a manor at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

Although the Student Zhuge Family appeared to have a very small population compared to the other four great families, every disciple who came out of the Student Zhuge Family was a person of astonishing talent!

Eighteen years ago, in the Student Zhuge Family manor.

A man covered in wounds and blood knelt before the many elders of the Student Zhuge Family.

"Family Head, Elders! Student Zhuge Qianyang knows he deserves to die! I am willing to die to atone for my sins, but the child is innocent. I beg you to spare my child!"

The man kowtowed heavily. In the room behind him, a woman was letting out hysterical screams of pain; his child was about to be born.

However, facing the man's pleas, everyone's expressions were cold and indifferent.

"Student Zhuge Qianyang, you should understand that the Seven-Star Lamp is the foundation of our Student Zhuge Family's survival. As long as the Seven-Star Lamp is still here, no matter how dynasties change, our Student Zhuge Family will stand tall!"

"If you don't find the Seven-Star Lamp today, not only will you die! Your wife and your soon-to-be-born child will also die. Clan rules are ruthless!"

Upon hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Student Zhuge Qianyang's face.

"Clan rules? The elders are talking to me about clan rules? Then do the elders and uncles remember that our ancestor, the Martial Marquis, once left behind ancestral teachings! Whenever the Emperor Star is swaying and chaotic times are about to begin, Student Zhuge descendants must hold the Seven-Star Lamp and fight for the common people of the world!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed.

"Shut up! That is not a reason for you to steal the Seven-Star Lamp! Speak quickly, where is the Seven-Star Lamp!"

Student Zhuge Qianyang did not kowtow again but slowly stood up straight.

"Since the elders and uncles are not even willing to spare my newly born child, then forgive me today, I have no choice but to take action!"

"Presumptuous!"

An elder shouted angrily, then suddenly attacked Student Zhuge Qianyang. A finger pointed out, instantly transforming into a giant pillar supporting the sky and suppressing him.

Student Zhuge Qianyang did not dodge or evade, then roared angrily.

"Break!"

The sound wave that turned into substance spread out, directly shaking the giant pillar supporting the sky until it was scattered and broken.

"Level 85?!"

That elder was shocked and lost his color.

"This Student Zhuge Qianyang is only 29 years old; how did he reach the level of 85? In this way, wouldn't it be very likely that he would step into the Fan Xing Realm before the age of 40?"

"Attack together!"

In an instant, the elders attacking Student Zhuge Qianyang went from one to three!

Although Student Zhuge Qianyang was astonishingly talented, he had only been a job-changer for a short time after all. Facing the suppression of three elders of the Student Zhuge Family, he had no power to fight back at all and was just unilaterally beaten.

Soon, Student Zhuge Qianyang was beaten into serious injury under the joint efforts of the three elders.

But even so, the wounded Student Zhuge Qianyang still did not retreat half a step, because behind him was his wife who was about to give birth and his unborn child!

Accompanied by a loud cry of an infant, Student Zhuge Qianyang's child was born!

"Take the child and go quickly! Don't worry about me!"

Student Zhuge Qianyang roared. His eyes were blood-red, and he used his last bit of strength.

"Stubborn resistance; today none of you will be able to leave!"

As soon as the words fell, two more elders took action. Student Zhuge Qianyang, who was already struggling to support himself, could no longer hold on and was hit in the chest by one of the elders with a fierce palm, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood and flying backward.

"Student Zhuge Qianyang! I will ask you one last time! Where exactly is the Seven-Star Lamp!" an elder shouted sternly.

"I don't know!"

Student Zhuge Qianyang ignored the murderous elders and just looked at his newly born daughter dotingly, his eyes full of reluctance.

He wanted to touch his newly born daughter, but when he saw the bloodstains on his hands, Student Zhuge Qianyang silently retracted his hand.

Then, he took a blood-stained compass from his bosom and placed it gently on his daughter.

"Sorry... little one, Daddy can't accompany you to grow up. But don't worry, Daddy can feel that your uncle is rushing here rapidly. You will definitely be able to survive. Your uncle... he is a very powerful person." ===== CHAPTER 261 =====
