Chapter 794: Chapter 797: You Are Still Too Weak

Murong Bei instructed Qin Tian, his gaze meeting Qin Tian’s.

Qin Tian looked at him and saw a trace of profound concern in Murong Bei’s eyes, much like the way a family elder cares for their own child.

"Old master, Beijing isn’t that terrifying, is it?" Qin Tian pondered before speaking.

"Indeed, Beijing is not terrifying. I just want you to keep a low profile, Qin Tian. In the small city, practicing martial arts well is sufficient. Living an ordinary life is not bad either."

Murong Bei intentionally advised him, seeming to remember something, and asked Qin Tian, "Right, Qin Tian, your ’Sunflower Secret Manual,’ which Chapter have you reached?"

How does Murong elder know I have the ’Sunflower Secret Manual’?

How does he know that I am cultivating it?

Hearing Murong Bei’s question, his first reaction was to wonder if Murong Bei had been in continuous contact with Cao Taiji? Or did he always know that I would definitely cultivate the ’Sunflower Secret Manual’?

"The fourth Chapter."

Qin Tian thought to himself and responded to Murong Bei’s question, looking at the latter.

Murong Bei nodded slightly, "Mhm, not bad, reaching the fourth Chapter in one year is already a mark of a genius. Qin Tian, you must cultivate this book well, without reaching the seventh Chapter, you cannot be considered a top expert. Without reaching the ninth Chapter, you cannot confidently walk sideways on the Earth. Understand?"

Qin Tian was rendered speechless.

It feels like the old master is feeding me spiritual chicken soup during the New Year’s...

However, fortunately, it was time for lunch. Everyone gathered around, with Aunty Lan, Zhang Sanfeng, Murong Bei, Qin Tian among others sitting together. Other servants and bodyguard guards took two tables, three tables in total, eating joyfully, fully bringing out the festive atmosphere.

The lunch wasn’t the focus; the New Year’s Eve dinner on the thirtieth day of the year was the reason for everyone’s reunion.

After lunch, Murong Fei, with the help of a group of servants, began preparing for the lavish evening banquet.

Qin Tian, with purpose in mind, saw Murong Bei heading towards the library upstairs, and he immediately followed suit.

In his heart, Qin Tian had questions about his own origins and the mysterious four major clans that he wanted to seek confirmation from Murong Bei.

"Qin Tian, by the look of you, you have something you want to ask me, right?"

Upon returning to the library and barely sitting down, Murong Bei glanced at Qin Tian and immediately saw through what was on Qin Tian’s mind.

Jiang is still as spicy as ever, Qin Tian couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, nodding in admission.

"Old master, indeed, I have some doubts that remain unanswered. You should know, so, taking this opportunity, I would like to understand from you," said Qin Tian.

"Hehe, go ahead and ask. What I should say, and can say, I will definitely tell you. What I shouldn’t say, and cannot say, you need not be in a hurry to learn."

Upon hearing this response, Qin Tian immediately understood; most likely, whatever he wanted to ask, Murong Bei already had an idea about!

"Old master, what is your relationship with my master, Cao Taiji?" Qin Tian did not get straight to the point initially.

Murong Bei smiled and said, "Taiji and I, we’ve been brothers in life and death for many years. Closer than blood brothers."

"Then, was I really picked up by my master?"

"Oh, is that what your master told you?"

"..."

"If that’s what he told you, then that’s how it is."

"Um, old master, you can’t lie to me. I’m grown up now. The lies that my master told me when I was a child, you can’t still use them now, right? Am I not... not a Han person, not from one of the fifty-six ethnic groups of Huaxia?"

Qin Tian edged into the main topic, asking questions while observing the changes in Murong Bei’s facial expressions.

When he saw Murong Bei’s eyes light up at his last two sentences, Qin Tian dropped a bombshell, "I am a descendant of the Dragon Flame Clan, right?"

At these words, Murong Bei’s face instantly stiffened, and his gaze hardened, fixed on Qin Tian.

Shock beyond words filled Murong Bei’s eyes, "Qin Tian, what Dragon Flame Clan, who told you this?!"

"Old master, I know so much already, aren’t you planning to tell me? Is my heritage really that mysterious?"

Seeing Murong Bei’s shocked expression, Qin Tian knew at once that what he had just said was true.

He looked at Murong Bei with a sincere attitude and said, "I not only know that I am a descendant of the Dragon Flame Clan, but I also know that I was born of the Dragon Flame Clan and another race even more powerful than the Dragon Flame Clan. I’m of mixed blood, my father is from the Dragon Flame Clan, my mother... from a race even more powerful than the Dragon Flame Clan, right?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Bei fell silent.

He stood up, his gaze drifting from the study to the distance, ignoring the eager eyes of Qin Tian looking at him.

"Old master, what race is my mother from?" Qin Tian pressed on.

Murong Bei turned his back to Qin Tian and slowly shook his head.

By now, he felt that some secrets could no longer be hidden from Qin Tian.

But he still honored the oath he had taken long ago, not to tell Qin Tian easily.

"Qin Tian, since you already know everything, then just let it be. Don’t ask me these questions... I, I and your master had both taken an oath, we cannot tell you these things."

Murong Bei let out a long sigh, coldly chuckling, "Unexpectedly, there are people in this small city who can see through your identity. There is indeed always someone stronger out there, a heaven beyond our heaven. I can only tell you that your identity is indeed not ordinary. That’s as simple as it gets."

Boom...

Qin Tian’s head seemed to roar!

Indeed!

Indeed, he had an extraordinary identity!

At this point, he became even more curious, stood up, walked up to Murong Bei, and asked, "Old master, I’m so grown up already, shouldn’t I know about my heritage? Please tell me, what race is my mother from? Are my parents still alive? Where are they?"

A string of questions, Qin Tian was desperate to know.

Having lived as an orphan for more than twenty years, could it be that he was not an orphan after all?

Why had Cao Taiji and Murong Bei kept it a secret for so long, and even now, still unwilling to reveal it!?

As Qin Tian was lost in thought, Murong Bei took a deep breath, then turned around, his gaze resting on Qin Tian, he said leisurely, "Qin Tian, in any case, you should know that all of this, your master and I, it’s all for your own good. That should suffice."

"Right now, your power is still too weak, there are some things you really can’t be told. How about this, once you cultivate the ’Sunflower Secret Manual’ to the ninth Chapter, come find me. Then, I will tell you everything I know."

Murong Bei, leaning on his cane, began to walk outside, saying as he went, "Unless you cultivate to the ninth Chapter, no matter what you say, I won’t tell you about your heritage."

"The ninth Chapter of the ’Sunflower Secret Manual’?"

Qin Tian was stunned, that was a big ask!

Having worked so hard this year, he had only cultivated up to the fourth Chapter. He was expected to break through to the ninth Chapter before he would be told?

How long would he have to wait...
