The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities

Chapter 782: Xia Ji’s Past (Part 1)

Han Jing and the others came to the Xia Clan, not simply for an explanation, and Han Jing believed that Xia Ji’s return was certainly not just to watch the excitement. Everyone had their own purposes, but regardless of their individual intentions, understanding the cause of the matter first was necessary for planning the next steps.

Su Yu looked calmly at Xia Qingcheng. Since he extended his hand for him to take the pulse, he naturally didn’t intend to continue pretending.

"Please tell us, senior." Su Yu’s voice was as clear and cool as always, without any emotional fluctuations, which made Xia Qingcheng view him more highly.

He glanced at them, finally sighed: "It’s my fault."

"Originally, everything should not be in its current state, Ling’er becoming like this, I bear a significant responsibility. Firstly, I apologize to you for this, as for the truth..." Xia Qingcheng hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Well, since you have already returned, it is indeed time to tell you what is going on."

"Ling’er is the Holy Daughter of the Xia Clan." Xia Qingcheng started but paused after saying this sentence, then took out a Jade Scroll, drawing on it with his finger a few times, several talismans entered Su Yu and Han Jing’s bodies.

"These are the origins of the Xia Clan, including records of significant events, as well as the clan rules."

Then he said to Lan Ling: "Sorry, sir, the rules of the Xia Clan are not allowed to be known to outsiders, so please forgive us."

Lan Ling hurriedly waved his hand saying: "No problem, no problem."

The talismans entered Han Jing and Su Yu’s bodies, and the information related to the Xia Clan appeared in their minds.

The two were somewhat amazed after looking it over.

"Indeed, the emergence of a Holy Daughter in the Xia Clan relies on chance; perhaps one will appear in a century, or perhaps none, or maybe two or three. Since the last Divine Level ancestor of the Xia Clan passed away approximately three thousand years ago, a total of fifteen Holy Daughters have emerged. With Ling’er, it has been more than two hundred years without a Holy Daughter. Therefore, Ling’er’s status within the clan comes second only to mine as the Clan Leader and a few elders, qualified to participate in the clan’s decisions."

"The most distinctive aspect of the Holy Daughter of the Xia Clan is that she is the most perfect inheritor of the Divine Descendant bloodline of the Xia Clan. As long as she maintains her virginity during cultivation, she will have the opportunity to break through to the Divine Level, recreating the glory of the Xia Clan’s history. However, to break through the final barrier, one must undergo the Divine Tribulation. The previous fourteen Holy Daughters were unsuccessful; some died during the Divine Tribulation, while others barely survived but suffered significant damage to their cultivation."

"Ling’er’s talent in cultivation far exceeds that of the previous fourteen Holy Daughters; she is the most hopeful person to break through to the Divine Level. Her special Wood Element abilities are also very strong, with few within the Xia Clan able to match her. Her lifelong wish is also to break through to the Divine Level, so since she was sensible, she has been focused solely on cultivation. In her view, nothing is more important than cultivation, except for one person, someone she liked very much since childhood."

At this point, Xia Qingcheng remained silent for a long time, without speaking again, as if pondering how to continue speaking with Han Jing and the others.

Han Jing and the others did not urge him to speak, but Xia Ji’s favored person was not Xia Qingcheng, but... someone else?
