Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start

Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Legacy

Ye Wudi explained, "As I just mentioned, the Authority Seal can be inherited, and our Ye Family possesses the Death Seal. Setting aside the success rate of inheritance, as long as one has the Death Attribute, they can inherit it."

"Although other families have their own Authority Seals, they can absolutely find someone with the Death Attribute to inherit it. Once successful, they would possess two Authority Seals, and naturally, their power would rise tremendously!"

With this explanation, Xiao Zhan understood.

He then asked, "Which family could it be?"

Ye Wudi shook his head, "It’s impossible to determine, any of them could be possible."

Ye Wudi continued, "The other seven major families either have someone to inherit their seals, or they comprehend it themselves. Since my older brother’s death last time, our family’s seal has been without an heir up to now."

"No one to inherit? Then why not pass it on?" Xiao Zhan asked subconsciously.

But as soon as he asked, he realized the answer.

Ye Wudi’s Artifact Spirit was the Azure Water Cold Light Sword, which didn’t possess the Death Attribute, and he also lacked the Death Attribute innately.

Same was the case with Ye Anu whose Artifact Spirit was the Overlord Halberd.

As for Ye Ajian, not to mention him, now merged with the Snow Demon King, his pathway was completely different, making him even more unable to inherit.

So...

Could it only be me?

Seeing the expression on Xiao Zhan’s face, Ye Wudi knew he had grasped the key point.

"I originally planned to wait for you all to grow stronger before letting you accept the inheritance, but now someone is targeting us, so I’ve decided to let you inherit it earlier."

Xiao Zhan guessed right, it really was about them accepting the inheritance.

He was somewhat excited in his heart, a Seventh Grade Sovereign’s Authority Seal, he wondered what it would feel like to inherit.

As if seeing through the schemes in Xiao Zhan’s mind, Ye Wudi reminded, "Accepting the inheritance is not an absolutely safe matter; it also carries risks, especially since your current strength is quite low, this will increase the risk of inheritance."

"Additionally, I see that both you and Youlong have imbued Fire Energy in your attributes, this energy is indeed a rare purity, but it will also increase the risk of your inheritance."

"Before you, both my father and older brother were purely composed of the utmost Death Attribute, without any trace of other attributes mixed in, which is somewhat conflicting with yours."

"Moreover, if you do successfully receive the inheritance, the external dangers you’ll face will be even greater."

Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but frown, even greater?

What does that mean?

He was puzzled.

"Why would it be even greater?"

Ye Wudi said, "Because once you accept the inheritance, you will face the same scenario as my older brother did back then, being plotted against and harmed!"

Harmed!

Hearing these two words, Xiao Zhan’s expression was first shocked, was Ye Wuming really harmed?

But wasn’t it said by the Federation that Ye Wuming died honorably on the battlefield?

Even Ye Youlong had told him the same.

His puzzled gaze turned towards Ye Youlong, but he found that Ye Youlong’s expression was the same as his, both shocked.

Clearly, Ye Youlong was also greatly surprised by Ye Wudi uttering the words ’harmed.’

Ye Wudi just sneered dismissively at the Federation’s information.

"If he really died honorably in battle, then you wouldn’t have the opportunity to accept the inheritance, as the Authority Seal would dissipate along with the death of the Spirit Master. Only by extracting the Authority Seal beforehand, can it be inherited by the next generation."

"And the fact that my older brother extracted the Authority Seal before heading into battle is enough proof that he definitely sensed something but was compelled to confront, so he extracted the Authority Seal to leave behind a chance."

With this explanation, Xiao Zhan understood—unless one was certain of their inevitable death, they generally would not actively extract the Seal.

After all, it is also a power that could let one escape death.

He sighed, not expecting Ye Wuming’s death to be so complicated.

Xiao Zhan couldn’t help saying, "So it seems, those targeting the Ye Family are really going all out. If they can seize the Authority Seal, they seize it; if not, they just kill people directly. The Ye Family guards the frontier, which is crucial for the entire Federation’s security. Who would want to completely annihilate the Ye Family?"

Thinking about Ye Wudi also being schemed against, Xiao Zhan really didn’t dare to think about who would have the guts to strike against the Ye Family and be able to do so!

The eight great families?

Although the eight great families do not act as one, in the face of right and wrong, shouldn’t they be able to see clearly?

The disappearance of the Ye Family would be detrimental to the entire Federation and also involve their own safety!

In a situation where the lips are gone and the teeth are cold, they still dare to completely cut down and exterminate the Ye Family.

One could only say, they are very bold.

Of course, there is also a possibility that they have a way to replace the Ye Family.

But replacing a major family, relying merely on the cooperation of one or two families, is probably impossible. It is even possible to say that without the tacit approval of the Federation, it cannot be done.

Moreover, if they can’t get the Authority Seal, what’s the point of replacing the Ye Family?

Xiao Zhan didn’t understand, but suddenly felt the burden of being a son-in-law was quite heavy.

How could he be tasked with the great responsibility of the Ye Family’s revival!

What happened to just laying back, following his wife, enjoying good food and drink?

Dammit, now he had to strive hard.

"Prepare yourselves, you will begin to receive the inheritance in the next two days," Ye Wudi said.

"Ah? Isn’t there time to consider this?"

So it’s just decided like this?

Such great danger, and not even consulting the parties involved?

Yet Ye Wudi just laughed and glanced at Ye Youlong, "Ask your wife if she would refuse?"

Xiao Zhan turned his head and indeed saw that Ye Youlong was resolute.

The kind no one could change.

What else could Xiao Zhan say?

Nothing else to be done, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong walked out of the study, preparing for the inheritance.

But just as Xiao Zhan was stepping out of the study, Ye Wudi’s voice came through, "Xiao Zhan, stay a moment."

Xiao Zhan paused upon hearing the voice and looked at Ye Wudi, not knowing what he wanted.

And it was to be a private conversation.

Could there be some unspeakable secret?

Glancing at Ye Youlong, who showed no reaction, she wisely walked far away after hearing the voice.

Xiao Zhan gave his wife a thumbs-up, then also turned back and re-entered the room.

Closing the door.

Ye Wudi immediately laughed, joking, "What, even for such a trivial matter you need to consult your wife? You’re really henpecked."

"Big brother shouldn’t talk about the second brother, we’re all the same. My familial imperial throne is higher than you could imagine," Xiao Zhan immediately rebuked without any reservation.

Ye Wudi’s henpecked status is real.

Xiao Zhan’s henpecked status, that was purely because he indulged Ye Youlong since she was quite good-looking.

Ye Wudi just smiled at this, commiserating with each other, what was the point in competing.

He said to Xiao Zhan, "Just now, you seemed like you wanted to ask something but didn’t dare to. Go ahead, what do you want to ask?"
