Chapter 959

The little girl who spoke was Tsukuyomi Xiaomeng, and Young Yuanzi always felt a certain familiarity with that name.

It seemed she had heard or seen it somewhere before, but her attention was drawn to the girl's other unusual traits.

Tsukuyomi Xiaomeng came from the Land of Water, from a very unremarkable clan—so small that after the Mizukage issued the Bloodline Erasure Order, no Leaf Anbu came to carry out a massacre against them. Yet some things in this world are simply so dramatic: the Tsukuyomi clan, who should have dodged that disaster and continued living their lives free from the world, ultimately could not escape it in the end.

This is easy to understand—when the broader environment outside was purging the different, the ignorant villagers began to act like a herd of blindly following sheep, choosing to go with the flow. They heaped all their usual resentments, and every grudge related or not, onto the unusual Tsukuyomi clan.

The outcome hardly needs spelling out: Tsukuyomi Xiaomeng's clan went from unremarkable to utterly vanished, and she, an orphan with no kin left, was finally picked up by a passing Loulan merchant caravan.

As for what kind of bloodline her clan actually had, even Tsukuyomi Xiaomeng herself could not explain it clearly. Over the years, Xiaomeng had tried to investigate it through every means imaginable, all to no avail, and she herself felt deeply guilty about it. In Xiaomeng's own words: "To this day, I still cannot activate my Bloodline Limit to help Young Yuanzi and everyone else—I really am useless."

Although no one blamed her for it, Xiaomeng voluntarily put in far more effort than the other children, until now she has become the standout among the very first batch of students the Queen of Loulan dared to present for Young Yuanzi's review.
