I'm Your Cousin!

At this point, Huo Yuhao had only one Soul Ring. Imprinting his current Martial Soul and soul skill was not difficult. Jiang Qingtong quickly Imprinted his Spirit Eyes Martial Soul and all of his soul skills.

After watching Jiang Qingtong Imprint Huo Yuhao's Martial Soul and soul skills, Old Hong asked, "Girl, what are his Martial Soul and soul skills?"

"Old Hong, if you want to know, lower your mental defenses and don't resist my Spiritual Power. I'll show you!"

Jiang Qingtong spread her hands. The purple Soul Ring before her blazed brightly, and her eyes turned sky blue.

Old Hong immediately sensed a force of Spiritual Power attempting to enter his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness. He suppressed his instinctive resistance and allowed it to enter his spiritual sea without obstruction.

At that moment, Old Hong suddenly discovered a three-dimensional projection of everything within fifty meters appearing in his spiritual sea. It was astonishingly detailed—even the ants crawling on the ground could be seen clearly!

No movement could escape detection!

"This is his Martial Soul: a Body Martial Soul, Spirit Eyes. Its soul skill is Mental Detection Sharing," Jiang Qingtong said slowly as she looked at the stunned Old Hong.

"What an excellent soul skill! An excellent soul skill indeed! The help such a soul skill could provide in battle is simply impossible to predict!" Old Hong praised it repeatedly, showing just how shocked he was by the Spirit Eyes' soul skill.

But he quickly came to his senses and looked at Jiang Qingtong in confusion. "Girl, how did you know this brat's soul skill was this?"

Jiang Qingtong smiled at Old Hong's question. "That's a secret."

Years ago, Kong Deming had already instructed Mingde Hall's worshippers not to pry into the secrets of the siblings Jiang Shengyu and Jiang Qingtong, lest they become displeased.

Hearing Jiang Qingtong's answer, Old Hong merely nodded slightly. "Fair enough! With this Martial Soul and soul skill, your safety at Shrek Academy will be greatly assured!"

Jiang Qingtong gave a soft hum and withdrew her Martial Soul.

Huo Yuhao, who had been unconscious on the ground, woke up shortly afterward. When he saw Jiang Qingtong and Old Hong standing before him, he frowned. He watched them warily and asked, "Who are you?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm shouted within his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness, "Yuhao! Be careful! That girl just Imprinted your Martial Soul and soul skill! The other one is a Titled Douluo. These two are no ordinary people!"

Huo Yuhao's expression changed upon hearing Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's words.

Seeing the change in his expression, Jiang Qingtong understood that Huo Yuhao was communicating with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his mind. She said, "Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. Don't be afraid. This is Old Hong, and my name is Jiang Qingtong."

Seeing that the vigilance in Huo Yuhao's eyes had not faded in the slightest, Jiang Qingtong understood his mindset at this stage. "Don't be nervous. I don't even know your name yet."

"My name is Huo Yuhao."

After giving his name, Huo Yuhao stared at Jiang Qingtong and asked again, "Did you just Imprint my Martial Soul?"

"Girl, he..." Old Hong frowned in surprise at Huo Yuhao's question.

Hadn't this brat been unconscious just now? How did he know Jiang Qingtong had Imprinted his Martial Soul?

Jiang Qingtong gestured for Old Hong to stay calm. Then she took a deep breath, and a trace of delight and pity appeared in her eyes as she looked at Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao noticed the emotion in Jiang Qingtong's eyes and could not help feeling puzzled.

Jiang Qingtong suddenly stepped forward, seized Huo Yuhao's hand, and said emotionally, "Yuhao! I've finally found you!"

Huo Yuhao was startled by Jiang Qingtong's sudden excitement, and Old Hong at the side was also badly startled by her behavior. While holding Huo Yuhao's hand, Jiang Qingtong wiped at the corners of her eyes and forced out a few tears.

"Who exactly are you?" Huo Yuhao's brows were tightly furrowed, and the astonishment in his gaze toward Jiang Qingtong was impossible to hide.

She was crying?

Because of him?

Did they have some kind of relationship?

"I'm your cousin!" Jiang Qingtong said to Huo Yuhao.

Old Hong raised a brow and looked at Jiang Qingtong.

Huo Yuhao was even more bewildered. He stared at Jiang Qingtong, his brows knitted tightly. "Why didn't I know I had a cousin...?"

Jiang Qingtong took a deep breath and said, "Your name is Huo Yuhao, isn't it? Your mother was Huo Yun, and you are the son of Dai Hao, the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire, right?"

Hearing Jiang Qingtong accurately reveal his identity and background, Huo Yuhao was horrified. Even Old Hong could not help giving him a few more looks.

After the Duchess had killed his mother, he had secretly left the White Tiger Duke Residence. In this world, aside from the Duchess, no one knew his identity!

Yet the person before him had accurately stated the identity he had concealed. Could she really be his cousin? But... his mother had never mentioned her!

Seeing that Huo Yuhao still had doubts, Jiang Qingtong continued to spin her tale. "Actually, we aren't related by blood!"

"We aren't?" Huo Yuhao frowned and looked at Jiang Qingtong in confusion.

"Back then, when my mother fell on hard times in the Star Luo Empire, Aunt Huo saved her. They became sworn sisters and called each other sisters. So, when news of your mother's death reached the Sun Moon Empire, we were all shocked. One of my tasks in coming here was to find you!"

In just a few sentences, Jiang Qingtong fabricated a past that had never existed. Huo Yun was already dead, and her own mother did not exist either. Who could verify whether it was true or false?

"Yuhao! She's definitely lying to you! Don't fall for it!" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm warned Huo Yuhao in his mind, telling him not to believe her so easily.

Naturally, Huo Yuhao would not trust someone so easily. His experiences at the Duke Residence had long taught him not to casually believe anyone.

He looked at Jiang Qingtong and asked, "If that's the case, why did no one come looking for my mother and me when we were at the Duke Residence? Why did you only come after my mother died? Didn't your mother become sworn sisters with mine?"

After Huo Yuhao asked this, Old Hong said in a deep voice, "Brat! Watch your words. This little girl's parents passed away many years ago!"

Jiang Qingtong followed along, putting on an apologetic, self-reproachful expression. "I'm sorry. Something happened to our family back then. Only my brother and I were left."

After Jiang Qingtong said this, even Huo Yuhao could not help revealing an awkward, startled expression. He apologized, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to..."

"It's all right!" Jiang Qingtong shook her head and smiled. "We're family, after all!"

"Family?" Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback when he heard that.

Did he have family again?

Although Jiang Qingtong's explanation still seemed to contain quite a few holes, for some reason, Huo Yuhao was willing to believe that she really was his cousin.
