The husband asked dumbfounded, "How did you discover it?"
Which ant he admitted it.
The wife couldn't help but glare at her husband, then managed to sit up, but the next mont she saw the place shrouded in cloud qi, and a figure in azure robes appeared at the door.
"Don't worry, we an no harm!"
The wife hurriedly said, and then in a flash of light, transford into the charming woman shown earlier in the mirror.
It must be said, although the Cloud Palace Treasure Mirror is exceptionally magical, its essence is ultimately just a copper mirror, which results in so degree of blurring and distortion in display. For instance, the charming woman before them now looks much prettier than she did in the mirror.
Liu Qingyan nodded and said, "Lu Lang knows you an no harm; this is just a precaution."
The husband also flashed with light, turning into a gentle-faced delicate woman, then shyly bowed, "Tu Yuqing greets the two of you."
"I'm Tu Yuya." The charming woman introduced herself, then looked at Lu Zheng in confusion and asked, "You discovered us yesterday not during combat, and you still discovered us today. How did you do it? Was there a flaw in our illusion magic?"
Tu Yuya reckoned that since Liu Qingyan couldn't spot them yesterday, she would be even less likely to do so today. The only possibility was that Lu Zheng discovered them and inford Liu Qingyan.
Lu Zheng smiled faintly but did not answer, instead asked, "You two have co to Renxin Hall for two consecutive days; may I ask if there's any important matters?"
Of course, he couldn't say they already knew their purpose and were urging them to clarify their origins swiftly.
"Um..."
Tu Yuqing and Tu Yuya exchanged glances, feeling a bit embarrassed.
If they had been frank from the start, maybe it wouldn't matter, but now having been discovered while in disguise, it felt sowhat awkward.
Eventually, Tu Yuqing spoke, "It's not really a big deal... actually, Miss Liu should be our relative..."
Liu Qingyan's eyes flashed, "Relative?"
In the next mont, four bushy fox tails rose behind Tu Yuya, while Tu Yuqing had only three.
Indeed, it's the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox bloodline!
Additionally, Liu Qingyan is indeed exceptionally gifted; although not as powerful as Tu Yuqing, she already possesses four fox tails, comparable to Tu Yuya.
It's worth ntioning that the number of fox tail illusions only represents the purity of the Celestial Fox bloodline within, not directly correlated to one's strength.
You could be overwhelmingly powerful but only have one fox tail, or have such pure blood to possess eight celestial fox tails, yet only have a hundred years of dao practice.
To enhance one's bloodline, talent and cultivation technique are indispensable; if one can cultivate nine fox tail illusions, it signifies that the Celestial Fox bloodline within has reached a certain purity.
Obviously, in terms of the Celestial Fox bloodline, the more fox tail illusions, the better the talent and potential.
Liu Qingyan blinked and then behind her appeared a haze, where four soft, fluffy white fox tails swayed up.
"Four tails?" Tu Yuqing was shocked.
Tu Yuya was also surprised, "You also cultivated the 'Tushan Scripture'? Otherwise, how could you have cultivated four fox tails?"
Liu Qingyan shook her head, "It was a senior who bestowed the 'Celestial Demon Nine Transformations Blood Refining Technique'."
"The 'Celestial Demon Nine Transformations Blood Refining Technique'?" Tu Yuya understood, nodding, "I see, I've heard of this technique, but for our Tushan Fox Race, it's not as good as the direct lineage's 'Tushan Scripture'."
"Tushan Fox Race..."
Once Lu Zheng heard their surna, he already had a guess, thinking indeed it's the Nine-tailed Fox of Tushan, the family of Lady Dayu from Huaxia legends.
"Indeed, the Tushan Fox Race." Tu Yuya spoke proudly, "Our ancestors descended from the Upper Realm as nine-tailed celestial foxes, passing down the celestial fox bloodline. And the hotown of the celestial foxes in the Upper Realm is also called Tushan!"
"You're not in Great Jing, are you?" Lu Zheng hadn't encountered the Tushan Fox Race in his reading at the White Cloud Temple's Library Pavilion about the forces in Great Jing.
Tu Yuqing nodded, "In the Northern Domain."
"I see..."
Lu Zheng understood and nodded, refuting suspicion.
"Northern Domain?"
Hearing this, Liu Qingyan couldn't help but have a flutter in her eyes.
Seeing Liu Qingyan's expression, Tu Yuya's eyes gently shifted, her eyes curved slightly, and she said playfully, "Scared?"
Liu Qingyan widened her eyes and boosted her aura, "Not scared!"
Tu Yuqing laughed softly, "Don't worry, we may want to overthrow the Central Plains Dynasty, but we have no intention of slaughtering innocents. Great Jing is thriving now, and we wouldn't rashly send the warriors of Snow Forest to their death."
Liu Qingyan, "..."
Her words seed to have no reassuring effect!
Lu Zheng couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid we'll report to the Anomaly Suppression Bureau?"
Tu Yuya rolled her eyes, "Go ahead!"
Lu Zheng, "..."
Lu Zheng shook his head, knowing it was like the martial arts world in novels here; unless engaging in direct confrontation, each maintains a low profile, causing no problem.
Just like how Southern Border figures co to the Central Plains, unless committing cris, the Anomaly Suppression Bureau won't stir things up. The relationship between Northern Domain and Great Jing is much worse than Southern Border, but the Tu Yuya sisters aren't crucial figures; as long as they don't act recklessly, Great Jing won't take them in, which would provoke the Northern Domain.
If war breaks out, there would be mass casualties!
Liu Qingyan hurriedly interrupted Lu Zheng's conversation with Tu Yuya, curiously asking, "You've been in the Northern Domain, and we've never been there; how did you find us? And why did you co after us?"
"Hmm..." Tu Yuqing pondered a mont, then decisively sold out her ally, "Xue Li told us."
"Xue Li?" Lu Zheng was stunned, thinking for a mont before recalling the person. "Profound Ink Mo Jiao?"
Tu Yuya nodded, "The Profound Ink Mo Jiao tribe resides not far from Tushan in Mo River Valley, and Xue Li once t the ancestor."
Saying this, Tu Yuya couldn't help but glance at Liu Qingyan, her eyes inadvertently showing a bit of envy, "Miss Liu's resemblance to the old lady is about seventy to eighty percent."
Liu Qingyan couldn't help but be startled, "What?"
Tu Yuqing continued, "Back then, the white fox that left Tushan was precisely the old lady's third daughter."
"Ah?" Liu Qingyan was shocked again.
Lu Zheng stroked his chin, speaking with interest, "Really? Leaving Tushan? Running away from ho? Did the third young lady fall in love with soone she shouldn't have, presumably soone from the Central Plains, and the old lady disapproved?"
"Judging by your personalities, I suspect the old lady was likely broad-minded, so not the usual person seen in operas." Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes, "Could it be the Imperial Family of the Central Plains?"
Tu Yuya: ⚆_⚆?
Tu Yuqing was astonished, "You can guess that?"
"I was just speaking casually, did I guess right?" Lu Zheng couldn't help but laugh.
