"You aren't from the Dugu Clan?"
Chen Yue asked in agitation. Uncertainty filled her eyes.
That answer mattered too much to her.
Dugu Yuqing, however, paused to think before replying:
"My surname is Dugu, so of course I'm from the Dugu Clan. But which Dugu Clan are you talking about?"
Chen Yue froze. "Of course I mean the Dugu Family in the True Ancestor Realm, one of the Nine Great Long Life Ancient Clans..."
Dugu Yuqing shook his head with a smile.
"I wasn't born into that clan. In fact, I've never even heard of it."
Delight blossomed in Chen Yue's beautiful eyes.
"What... You're not from the Dugu Clan of the True Ancestor Realm?"
"Y-you're telling the truth? You're not lying to me?"
She could hardly believe it.
Even Chen Zhongtian beside her couldn't help murmuring:
"Besides the Dugu Family, one of the Nine Great Long Life Ancient Clans, who else in this world could raise such a genius in the Sword Dao?!"
Everyone knew that in the entire True Ancestor Realm, the strongest in the Sword Dao were the Chen Clan and the Dugu Clan.
And because the Chen Clan had sent its strongest forces, the Chen Clan Eighteen Swords, to the border, it had, in a sense, fallen behind the Dugu Clan in strength.
Where else in the world could there be such a powerful Sword Dao lineage besides the Dugu Clan?
Wu Dade, however, was displeased when he heard this.
"The Dugu Family? Maybe they can't even measure up to the vegetable worms in our village."
Dugu Yuqing also smiled and said:
"I come from a small mountain village in the Martial Wasteland Realm. I truly have no connection to the Dugu Clan in the True Ancestor Realm."
At this, Chen Yue grew even more excited.
