Pretending? If this Ye Aotian in front of her had been acting from the start, one could only say his acting skills were exceedingly strong.
The reason the village elder sister chose to trust Ye Aotian was purely based on her intuition. Of course, if she didn't want to get involved, she could have easily set aside the matter of the Miaojiang Secret Technique and let Ye Aotian leave without finding any clues.
Yet, this elderly person over eighty years old triggered her compassion.
From the first ti Ye Aotian ca, she began paying attention to him. His behavior and speech were very refined, his attire simple and unpretentious, yet still clean and tidy.
Of course, the Miaojiang Secret Technique is taboo in this village, and no one can ntion it. Naturally, when Ye Aotian, an outsider, brought it up, he was rejected by everyone.
His second visit demonstrated only his strong will. Knowing it was impossible to get any clues from everyone's mouths, he still wanted to stay and continue waiting. Such persistence is not easily achieved by an elderly person. He even began to humbly ask the villagers about the matter.
In the cold and bitter winter, he built a shelter from the wind under a tree alone, without disturbing the villagers at all, which once again impressed the village elder sister. However, this did not entirely dispel her wariness.
Even though they knew Ye Aotian was not a bad person, it did not prove he was a good person either.
However, everything that happened today she saw clearly. He had incredibly strong skills that could not be dealt with by the entire village together. If he really wanted to find the Miaojiang Secret Technique by force, he could have used aggressive thods, but he did not.
Moreover, his dical skills were exceptional. A true healer has compassion. Soone with such high attainnt in dicine cannot have a bad heart. When he saw soone injured, he imdiately dashed over and knocked down the mad cow, and even as he took it down, he retained a rciful heart. If he showed such compassion to an animal, what about a human?
The look in his eyes when he saved people was extraordinarily focused, sothing impossible to fake. Even when he was utterly exhausted and nearly fainted, he persistently saved everyone he could, resulting in zero fatalities in the mad cow attack incident.
Lastly, he volunteered to help diagnose other patients, and he identified the causes of those stubborn ailnts that no one could figure out with just a few simple words and prescribed accordingly. It showed the extensive scope of his dical expertise.
Once her curiosity was piqued, she heard the story of him trying to restore his grandson's abilities, and evidently, she had no more doubts. The Secret Technique is taboo, but when it is truly needed to see the light of day, there should be no further avoidance.
"Please look..."
"What is this?"
In the study, the village elder sister took out a pile of letters and placed them on the coffee table. Ye Aotian held them, puzzled while looking at them and asked a question.
"Have you investigated the matters of our Miaojiang tribe from back in the day?"
"Hmm? I've looked into so, mainly because the Miaojiang Secret Technique's tyranny attracted unscrupulous people."
"That's right, the Miaojiang Secret Technique is indeed forceful, but not everyone can practice it."
"Hmm? What do you an by that?" Ye Aotian put down the envelope he had just opened, ready to hear the village elder sister finish her story.
"Actually, I don't know what exactly the Miaojiang Secret Technique is. I only know it's passed down exclusively within the Saintess's lineage."
"Hmm?" Still a bit hard to understand.
"The status of the Saintess to us is equivalent to the clan leader. In every generation, only the Saintess can cultivate the Miao tribe's Secret Technique. This seems related to the Saintess's bloodline. Once the Saintess cos of age, she marries and bears a daughter, the title of clan leader shifts to the Saintess's husband, but the na of Saintess also transfers to the newborn girl, making her the next generation's Saintess. No matter how many boys are born, there must be one girl. This is the eternal mission of the Saintess's lineage."
"If that's the case, wouldn't the bloodline beco increasingly diluted?" Ye Aotian asked, puzzled.
"No, I rember my father told , one year, a little Saintess unfortunately passed away at six months old. Later, the original Saintess conferred the title to her brother's daughter, who beca the new Saintess and began inheriting the Miaojiang Secret Technique. In other words, even a little Saintess bloodline can pass it down. However many people can receive the inheritance, there can only be one Saintess per generation."
"I see... So, are you the current Saintess of the Miaojiang tribe?" Ye Aotian asked expectantly.
"No, I don't have that qualification. What you're holding are letters sent back to us by the last Saintess I knew after she successfully escaped following a disaster in the tribe years ago. Thanks to her continuous assistance, the entire village wasn't wiped out."
Letters? Is that so?
At this mont, Ye Aotian couldn't resist any longer, opened the envelope, and took out the letter inside.
"What? How is this possible?"
Even before reading the content, just seeing the letter paper made Ye Aotian's eyes widen.
"What is it? Have you seen our Saintess before?" Seeing Ye Aotian's astonished expression, the village elder sister quickly asked.
"Hmm, the last Saintess you ntioned might be soone I know. When was your last contact with her?" Ye Aotian suddenly asked.
"A week ago, she sends so money back every month to allow everyone to live more comfortably, and even occasionally sends lots of food, clothing, and other things. Sotis she leaves a letter."
"A week ago? That ans this Saintess is still alive. If we consider her age, she should be slightly younger than ." Ye Aotian's reasoning skills are indeed very sharp.
"What do you an by what you just said? Why did you say you might have seen her?" the village elder sister hurriedly asked.
To avoid being targeted again, the Saintess has always hidden herself outside. Even the village's oldest resident, the village elder sister, does not know her current whereabouts. Yet this person claims he might have seen her, which is quite unbelievable.
"Hmm, I've used the sa paper for these letters. It's the unique writing paper exclusive to that place..."
"What place?"
"Yanhuang Soul..."
Yes, the reason Ye Aotian showed such a shocked expression was entirely because he recognized at a glance the paper used in the letters that started arriving earlier. It was exclusively for internal use within Yanhuang Soul, unavailable elsewhere.
He also deduced at the sa ti that back then, this Saintess must have escaped into the folds of Yanhuang Soul. Given her special status, it was not publicly disclosed. Even being one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings could not give him access to this information.
However, although he was unaware, Fan Lingtian, that old guy, who is now the principal of Yanhuang Soul, must know about it.
