Chapter 506: Chapter 506 The An Family’s Secret (3)

Holding to the principle of not letting go of any opportunity, she decided to ask Old Master An.

An Yiqing raised her head, her clear eyes gazing at Old Master An, and gently asked, "Grandfather, do you know why the An family cannot give birth to girls?"

As soon as this question was asked, apart from Old Lady An and Kong Shi, the faces of the several men in the An family all changed.

"Niuniu, we cannot practice ancient martial arts, could this matter be related?" Old Master An furrowed his brow, and asked in a low voice.

"Hmm, possibly. I’ve checked everyone’s health, and there is something on the hearts of Grandfather, Dad, and both of my elder brothers, but not on Mom’s or Grandma’s. If it’s an issue with the An family’s bloodline, then there should also be something on my heart. However, there is nothing on mine. As someone with the An family’s bloodline as well, why am I the only one able to practice ancient martial arts? Grandfather, I’ve heard that since ancient times, the An family has never had a girl, and I am the first. I wonder whether this matter is related to the practice of ancient martial arts?"

An Yiqing’s reasoning was logical and well-founded, leaving the An family members stunned. As for Old Master An and An Zisheng, who knew the most about the An family’s secrets, they exchanged a glance, their faces full of shock.

An Yiqing quietly watched them, patiently waiting for Old Master An to regain his composure.

After a long while, accompanied by a sigh, Old Master An waved his hand.

"Zisheng, bring out that brocade box from the study."

An Zisheng nodded his head and stood up to leave.

Shortly, the sound of footsteps rose, and then An Zisheng appeared before everyone with an antique and dignified brocade box.

Old Master An carefully took the antique brocade box from An Zisheng’s hands and placed it on the coffee table. He flicked a finger at the edge of the box lid, and with a "click," the box sprang open.

Inside, a piece of smooth, black silk neatly spread out, and within the folds of the black silk, there lay an antique-looking silver bracelet with openwork patterns!

From the texture of the bracelet, it should not be made of silver. Even with Old Master An’s extensive knowledge, he has not been able to determine the material to this day. Moreover, he had looked up the complicated patterns engraved on the bracelet, but found no records of them in ancient texts.

It must be some kind of symbolic totem.

Old Master An gently took the bracelet out from the box and sighed deeply, "Ah! If it weren’t for Niuniu’s deductions today, perhaps I could never guess what this bracelet is truly for until the day I die!"

He took a deep breath, his elderly gaze becoming hazy as his whole being seemed to travel back to that prosperous dynasty of thousands of years ago.

In that era, the country flourished. The gradual improvement of the imperial examination system led all the scholars and gentlemen from across the nation to rush to Changan. Among these countless individuals, An Bingsheng was one.

An Bingsheng, seventeen years old, came from a relatively remote small mountain village. Thanks to his parents, who were both down to earth and sensible, they had raised their only son to be an upright and courteous gentleman from a young age.

As the years passed by, An Bingsheng did not disappoint. Not only did he study diligently, but he also took over all the heavy and tiring work at home to help his parents. Within a hundred miles of the village, everyone envied the An family for having such a commendable son.

At seventeen, An Bingsheng’s life took a significant turn. Heeding his parents’ instructions, he packed his bags, left his hometown, and headed to Changan to sit for the exams.

After numerous examinations and selections, An Bingsheng stood out from all the candidates and entered the Hanlin Academy with the top score, becoming a highly sought-after individual overnight.
