Transmigrated into a Novel as the Villain, All the Heroines' Character Settings Changed

In principle, it should have been inheritable only by members of the Zhao family.

Then, suddenly, it stopped working in a certain generation.

It was utterly absurd.

Even now, it still did not work.

The Zhao family was nearly driven mad.

Yet they could never find the reason.

Of course, Xu Chen knew the specific reason.

It was a heaven-shaking secret.

It was because, when the Zhao family reached a certain generation—

Something happened to that heir.

That fellow replaced his own blood.

Because he suspected that the Zhao family's bloodline was no longer viable.

So he sought out martial arts from the demonic path.

And replaced his blood with it.

Later, he successfully fell into demonic cultivation, but the Zhao family never knew.

Although he could still successfully cultivate the Zhao family's martial arts and cultivation methods.

That Zhao Family jade pendant could no longer be inherited.

Thus leading to the current situation.

All subsequent Zhao family heirs were unable to inherit the jade pendant.

Then why could Ye Xuan do so?

Because a trace of Zhao family blood flowed within Ye Xuan.

That was right, this was the protagonist.

He could leech off connections to both the Ye Family and the Zhao family.

Back then, the sister of that Zhao Family Patriarch who had fallen into demonhood—

Discovered her elder brother's secret and decisively fled.

In the end, she married someone from the Ye Family who had likewise defected.

And gave birth to Ye Xuan's ancestor.

That was the relationship.

That was why Ye Xuan could inherit the Heavenly Secrets Jade Pendant.

Zhao Jin, however, could not inherit it.

After all, the bloodline ability of the Zhao family's ancestor was gone.

Back then, only the Zhao Family Patriarch who had fallen into demonhood and his sister possessed it.
