If there is an anomaly, I can see through it at a glance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon finishing this, he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I encountered Xiang Yunsheng before, he, whose mental state was not firm enough, was charmed by me. I saw an anomaly within him. Just now when I charmed you, I also noticed the same anomaly while you were lost in thought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Xiang Yunxian frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Jiu, are you implying that I, Yun Sheng, and perhaps even our fragrance lineage and the entire Yun family are in fact not human, but Alien Species?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard to say, it could also be that you all possess some sort of abnormal power within you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing responded and added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From the look on your face, you clearly didn’t know. Same goes for Yun Sheng. Have you ever sensed anything unusual about yourself along your life’s journey?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone else had said these words, Xiang Yunxian would simply roll her eyes at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isn’t this pure nonsense?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She is an authentic Zhongzhou native.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly telling her she might not be human, what is the meaning of this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these words were spoken by Li Jing, and Xiang Yunxian had to take it seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn’t need to talk nonsense to her, and he isn’t that idle...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing had said so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had even charmed her and Yun Sheng consecutively to verify it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There might indeed be some truth in it...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slightly surprised, Xiang Yunxian hesitated and then said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you mention abnormalities, our Yun family does have an issue. Every end of the year, the last day, those pure-blooded descendants from our older generation would fall into a deep sleep. After three days, they naturally wake up. Their cultivation level improves a bit and their understanding towards the Pharmacist’s Way deepens considerably. The younger generation, who have had married outside the family and borne children, don’t experience this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So far, nobody has had any trouble during their sleep. We also invited people to watch over us during our sleep and they didn’t notice anything strange. Thus, from the ancestors’ time, everyone has believed that it’s the blessing of the Medicine God for the Yun family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blessing from the Medicine God?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing gave a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This conversation just keeps getting weirder!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now it’s completely clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is indeed something unusual about the Yun family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem lies in their bloodline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having thought about it for a moment, Li Jing looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For this, we might have to ask your father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ask my father?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Yunxian hesitated, questioning,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What would my father know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your status is not low in the Yun family but evidently, you are one of the younger generations in terms of the pure bloodline passed down from the ancestors. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be pushed to get married by the elders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing calmly began,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you don’t know, doesn’t mean that elder family members do not know either, they just didn’t tell you the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Xiang Yunxian could respond, Li Jing continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you ever thought, why was the Yun family the first thing to cross Sun Qu’s mind as a solution to the Ancient Demon issue after my suggestion? Are the pharmacists of the Yun family strong enough to fight, or do they have the power to poison the Ancient Demon to death? The Yun family has a family rule to live or die with Haoran City, what could be the reasoning behind this? Surely it can’t be because the Yun family ancestors decided that Yun family must take root in Haoran City?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Li Jing’s barrage of questions, Xiang Yunxian was bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All these.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had not thought about it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would she think about how the family rules originated?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since she could remember, the Yun family had always held a prestigious position within Haoran City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would she question why Lord Sun ran to the Yun family as his first recourse after such a major incident?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Li Jing had mentioned these things, of course Xiang Yunxian started thinking in the direction he had pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon further thought, she felt there was more to this than meets the eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exactly as Li Jing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of it, it made no sense at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a deep breath to calm her mind, Xiang Yunxian met his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand, Master Jiu. I have to excuse myself for a while. I will go ask my father about this in private.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing waved his hand and went to sit on the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing this, Xiang Yunxian bit her red lip and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",3559,"2026-06-06T07:41:59.994Z",1,"novelbin.me","eb62a152f8147d0f89d9a518a9c79f745dc46e7282a23d05b351630262263283","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-596","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-594",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
