Chapter 355: Soul-Attracting Pearl

The words reached Lin Xueyan's ears, and her complexion changed abruptly, even her pupils contracted sharply into a dot.

Obviously, Your Majesty has already learned of the events from five years ago.

Lin Xueyan's mind raced, and she quickly forced herself to calm down. Even if Your Majesty knows what happened on the Soul‑rupture Abyss five years ago, it does not mean he can confirm that Fu Qianchen is Ye Qingran's child!

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect you had already known." Lin Xueyan said with a wry smile, "Indeed, Ye Qingran and I have had a serious feud. Back then, Ye Huanhuan, who despised her sister Ye Qingran and coveted her holy Spiritual Root, urged me to lure Ye Qingran to the Soul‑rupture Abyss."

Lin Xueyan observed Fu Hanxiu's expression and naturally placed the main blame on Ye Huanhuan.

"We teamed up to ruin Ye Qingran's appearance, and Ye Huanhuan extracted her Spiritual Root for herself. Moreover, on a whim, Ye Huanhuan dug out the child in Ye Qingran's womb..."

Lin Xueyan spoke, and a sharp gleam flashed in her eyes.

Only the three of them knew about that incident; Ye Huanhuan's whereabouts are now unknown and her fate uncertain, and Ye Qingran had collapsed and died at the time. She alone knows the whole truth of that night.

Moreover, she is not afraid to tell Your Majesty, because he no longer likes Ye Qingran and will certainly not pursue the matter from back then.

"Your Majesty, you wouldn't be suspecting that Ye Qingran is the young master's birth mother, would you?" Lin Xueyan looked at Fu Hanxiu, weighing her words before speaking.

Fu Hanxiu only pressed his thin lips together and said nothing. Seeing this, Lin Xueyan added, "That is absolutely impossible; those two children died long ago, and besides, how could Ye Qingran have the fortune to bear a divine offspring for Your Majesty?"

"Are you so sure they are all dead?"

Lin Xueyan suppressed her terror, "On the Soul‑rupture Abyss, beasts ran rampant, the two infants..."

"Enough!"

But before Lin Xueyan could finish, Fu Hanxiu let out a low roar and cut her off.

Then, under Lin Xueyan's horrified gaze, Fu Hanxiu extended his hand; his slender fingers pinched slightly, and Lin Xueyan felt a powerful hand clamp around her throat, instantly cutting off her breath!

"Cough!" Lin Xueyan coughed sharply.

"I'll give you one final chance: either tell the truth, or I'll send you to hell."

Lin Xueyan was terrified to the brink of despair.

At this moment, she finally realized she must have struck a Reverse Scale; she was extremely frightened.

In her terror, she finally dared not hide anything and prepared to tell the truth, but just then, Fu Er's report came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the Bloodline Detection results have arrived!"

Lin Xueyan's eyes widened; she said with all her strength, "Your Majesty, perhaps after seeing the Bloodline Detection results, you will know that I truly did not lie!"

Fu Hanxiu furrowed his brows, thought for a moment, tossed Lin Xueyan aside, and said to the outside, "Come in."

Fu Er pushed the door open and entered, followed by a solemn Fu San.

Fu Er presented the results to Fu Hanxiu; as Fu Hanxiu opened them, his complexion gradually grew dark.

Lin Xueyan gasped heavily while observing Fu Hanxiu's reaction, and a breath of relief slowly rose in her heart.

Everything was as she had expected.

"Your Majesty, how is it?" Fu San asked curiously yet cautiously.

Fu Hanxiu tossed the results to Fu San, "Take a look yourself."

Fu San caught it, glanced at Fu Hanxiu, then unfolded the results and his complexion instantly turned sour.

"Yun Zhi, is she really the young master's birth mother?"

The final bolded characters in the Bloodline Detection results were extremely conspicuous; Fu San thought that even looking at flowers would be impossible.

"How could this happen? It shouldn't be! He always believed Yun Zhi could not be the young master's birth mother. Yet reality dealt him a resounding slap."

Fu Hanxiu's complexion was extremely unpleasant.

He had just learned from Ye Qingran that the woman who had a brief affair with him six years ago was her, and she was Xiao Chen's birth mother. Now, the Bloodline Detection results also prove that Yun Zhi is Xiao Chen's birth mother.

Which link in the chain went wrong?

Could it be that Ye Qingran made a mistake?

Or is there a problem with the Bloodline Detection results?

Fu Hanxiu's eyes were as deep as an abyss; no one could know what he was thinking.

Lin Xueyan heard Fu Shan's words and felt extremely smug; she looked at Fu Hanxiu with a grievance and said, "Your Majesty, I truly did not lie; you saw that Yun Zhi is the young master's birth mother, the Bloodline Detection cannot be deceived!"

After a long while, Fu Hanxiu finally looked at her and said, "Fu Er, take her down and bring Yun Zhi here."

Lin Xueyan at this moment was eager to leave. She rose and followed Fu Er, striding out of the study, and a smug curve lifted the corner of her mouth as she exited.

"Ye Qingran, Ye Qingran, you will never think that Yun Zhi carries the same blood as you, will you?"

She whispered to herself, and Fu Er behind her did not hear clearly.

After Fu Er and Lin Xueyan left, only Fu Hanxiu and Fu San remained in the study.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why, but I always feel that Yun Zhi does not seem to be the young master's birth mother!" Fu San hesitated briefly, then bravely voiced his innermost thought.

Fu Hanxiu raised an eyebrow and asked, "You think so too?"

Fu San understood that Your Majesty also does not consider that the woman from those days was Yun Zhi.

"But, as Lin Xueyan just said, the Bloodline Detection cannot be deceived..."

Fu San frowned; regarding this result, he felt as if he had swallowed a fly.

Fu Hanxiu's slender fingertips rhythmically tapped the table, "Does the Bloodline Detection truly cannot be deceived?"

Fu San was startled, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Fu Hanxiu did not answer his question, "If I recall correctly, in Beimingzhou's Dan Valley there is a Soul‑Attracting Pearl."

Fu San suddenly realized, "Your Majesty, you intend to use the Soul‑Attracting Pearl to..."

The Soul‑Attracting Pearl in Dan Valley is an ancient relic with a function: it can serve as a Bloodline Detection. The method is simple and crude—if two people place their hands on the Pearl simultaneously, the change in its color accurately reveals their blood relationship.

If there is no blood relation, the Soul‑Attracting Pearl shows no reaction.

Compared with traditional Bloodline Detection, the Soul‑Attracting Pearl is more reliable. However, across the entire Xuanmiao Continent, there is only one Soul‑Attracting Pearl, belonging to Beimingzhou's Dan Valley...

"Your Majesty, I seem to have heard that the Soul‑Attracting Pearl is no longer in Dan Valley; rumors say it disappeared together with the dazzling Dan Saint of Dan Valley back then..."

"I know where it is."

"Where?" Fu San Yi was briefly surprised. Your Majesty actually knows where the Soul-Attracting Pearl is. Wasn't it said that this is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries on Xuanmiao Continent in recent years?
