What? This was completely different from her previous life?
The young girl stared blankly at Qin Jiuge before her, unable to reconcile the Qin Jiuge before her now with the villain who had cruelly dug out her Supreme Bone in her previous life.
She dazedly accepted the Dharma Aspect Pill from Qin Jiuge's hand. Feeling its majestic medicinal power, her mind temporarily stopped working...
She truly could not understand why things had developed this way in this life.
This was completely different from her memories...
She even began to wonder whether she had remembered wrong.
Then she shook her head hard.
After attaining the Great Emperor realm, her soul had become terrifyingly powerful. How could there possibly be even the slightest deviation in her memories of such a blood-deep hatred?
But... this utterly different situation had truly happened before her eyes...
Just as she was lost in a daze, a strong large hand grasped her soft, boneless little hand and pulled her up from the ground.
Qin Jiuge reached out and stroked the young girl's long hair, black as satin, his tone filled with gentleness.
"I'm eighteen this year. Judging by age, shouldn't I call you Clan Sister?"
"To my shame, I still don't know your name, Clan Sister!"
Hearing Qin Jiuge ask, the young girl instinctively answered, "My name is Qin Manyu."
"Light Song Sweet Talk... a fine name..."
Upon suddenly hearing the young girl's name, Qin Jiuge could not help feeling amazed and praised it sincerely.
Then, beneath the young girl's astonished gaze, Qin Jiuge grasped her shoulders with both hands and gently turned her so she faced his eyes directly. His tone was solemn. "Clan Sister Manyu, you have suffered during this period because of certain misunderstandings. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you may come find your Clan Brother."
"With your Clan Brother here!"
"No one will ever covet your Supreme Bone again!"
As he spoke, Qin Jiuge pulled the young girl toward the gates.
Sunlight streamed through the gates and fell upon Qin Jiuge.
Bathed in sunlight, Qin Jiuge seemed like an older brother who dearly loved his younger sister. His entire bearing had risen to another level.
Qin Manyu was incomparably shaken.
Was this person truly Qin Jiuge?
If he was Qin Jiuge, how could he treat her like this?
Not only did he not covet her Supreme Bone, he even wanted to protect her?
He had even taken the initiative to acknowledge her as his Clan Sister and called himself her Clan Brother?
One had to know that Qin Jiuge was from the direct line of this branch, while she was merely from a collateral branch!
Otherwise, why would Qin Hai and those Elders have treated her like a pig or sheep?
As someone from a collateral branch of the Qin Family, Qin Manyu remembered clearly that in her previous life, she had never felt even a trace of familial affection or friendship.
Collateral branches like hers were nothing more than fringe figures.
If they were fortunate enough to obtain a heaven-and-earth divine object such as a Supreme Bone, they would even be killed and have their bones extracted like livestock raised for slaughter because they possessed a precious treasure.
Yet just now, she had clearly sensed that Qin Jiuge was sincerely devoted to her, without a hint of pretense.
This made Qin Manyu, who had never experienced familial affection or friendship, wonder: Could this be what true family felt like?
But a new question immediately arose.
In her previous life, Qin Jiuge had clearly taken her Supreme Bone without the slightest hesitation. He had shown no pity whatsoever for her pain, as though what stood before him was not a person, but an animal...
Could Qin Jiuge have been possessed?
Qin Manyu suddenly thought of a possibility.
Only this possibility could make a wicked person undergo such an enormous change!
But she swiftly rejected that thought.
Because it was simply impossible!
Qin Jiuge's father, Qin Ming, was a strong expert at the peak of Life and Death, while his grandfather Qin Hai was a Supreme expert.
If Qin Jiuge had been possessed... with their insight, there was no way they would fail to see through it.
Could Qin Jiuge be plotting something?
Qin Manyu narrowed her eyes and scrutinized Qin Jiuge. The more she looked, the more suspicious he seemed!
Very quickly, she became certain of her judgment.
No matter how Qin Jiuge changed, he was still greedy at heart!
Hmph? You think you can buy off and scheme against this Great Emperor with such trifles?
Was this Great Emperor so easily bought?
Qin Manyu looked at the two Dharma Aspect Pills in her hand and sneered inwardly.
While Qin Manyu kept guessing why such an enormous difference had appeared between her previous life and this one, Qin Jiuge had not been idle either.
He was waiting.
Waiting for the system notification in his mind to sound.
Once the system notification sounded, he would be able to confirm Qin Manyu's identity as a Child of Destiny!
But after waiting for a long while, there was not the slightest movement!
Could it be that he had not given enough?
With that thought, Qin Jiuge flipped his right hand, and an ancient Storage Ring appeared in his palm!
He extended his hand and passed the Storage Ring to Qin Manyu. "Clan Sister, your Supreme Bone has only just awakened. This is precisely when you need a great deal of cultivation resources, so I shall give these resources to you as well!"
"I hope that in the future, Clan Sister, you will be able to keep pace with this young master and work together for the Qin Family."
A Storage Ring?
Qin Manyu was somewhat surprised. Her Spiritual Sense instinctively probed the Storage Ring, and in an instant, her mouth fell open in shock...
This Storage Ring was packed full of cultivation resources!
They were even all resources that replenished one's origin. For her, whose Supreme Bone had only just awakened, they could not have been more suitable!
A strange thought flashed through Qin Manyu's mind.
Qin Jiuge had considered things so thoroughly. Could it be that the Qin Jiuge of this life was truly completely different?
If so... she could observe him for now.
Once she began cultivating with these resources, it would not be long before she mastered that secret technique!
Once the secret technique was successfully cultivated, no matter what Qin Jiuge intended to do, she would be able to escape in time!
Taking the Storage Ring, Qin Manyu gave a graceful bow. "Manyu thanks Clan Brother."
"The Elders were all thinking of this branch's interests. How could Manyu bear a grudge against them..."
"Once Manyu achieves success in cultivation, I shall surely shatter my body and crush my bones to repay the Qin Family for raising me!"
Qin Manyu secretly calculated in her heart.
For the sake of these resources, and because Qin Jiuge had not taken her bone, she would tentatively believe that Qin Jiuge meant her no harm.
After today, she would observe him slowly!
If Qin Jiuge truly bore her no ill will, she would not mind helping Qin Jiuge and the Qin Family in the future.
But if... Qin Jiuge still harbored ill intentions toward her... she would not mind letting the events of her previous life happen once more!
Of the Four Great Immortal Imperial Clans, only three would remain thereafter!
At the same time, Qin Jiuge, who had been silently waiting for the system prompt, finally heard the notification sound in his mind.
