"It wasn't that I thought so. I just felt that you might be."

"But I'm not certain either, so we need to verify it now."

"Summon your Martial Soul and let me see it."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded after hearing Qin Qi's words, inwardly praising the boy before him for being clever.

"Clan Master Yu must have made some mistake. I'm just an ordinary orphan."

"I have no connection whatsoever to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Qin Qi felt a headache coming on. When he had used Luo Mian's name back then,

he had considered pretending to be a descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and sneaking into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for a look around.

But that had been a plan for much later! He had only just gotten started, so why was the big boss already at his door?

This wasn't how the plan was supposed to go!

"I know. I already had someone investigate your background."

"But your Martial Soul, talent, and even your name all seem to indicate that you're one of our family's children."

"As the clan leader, I cannot allow a child of the clan to wander outside."

"Not even an illegitimate child."

Yu Yuanzhen's approval of Qin Qi rose once again.

He knew Yu Yuanzhen was the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, one of the Upper Three Sects.

He knew he might be a child of one of the Upper Three Sects, yet not only was he not excited, he had instinctively denied it.

This child did not cling to power and influence. He had some of Yu Yuanzhen's own backbone.

"A coincidence. Just a coincidence."

"I've lived an ordinary life since I was young. I've never had any contact with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Qin Qi had a headache. If he were already level forty or fifty, he would definitely infiltrate the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan without hesitation.

But he was only a Two-Ring Soul Master now, and among the encounter-series killing moves, he had only learned Strangers at First Sight.

He had not learned much about making up lies or acting either. If he went to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,

and they spotted something wrong, he would be in grave danger!

"Well, haven't you come into contact with us now? Enough talk. Release your Martial Soul."

Yu Yuanzhen urged him on. Everything else was empty talk, but a Martial Soul could not be faked.

Even if it was a mutated Martial Soul, traces of bloodline inheritance could still be seen.

Well, Yu Xiaogang was an exception. That pig definitely could not be of their bloodline.

"Sigh."

Qin Qi shook his head and sighed. Left with no choice, he released the Golden Saint Dragon.

The Golden Saint Dragon floated in the air, its entire body radiating a pale golden glow.

It spread its wings, and golden light immediately scattered in all directions like raindrops.

"Roar!"

The Golden Saint Dragon looked around before happily moving close to Qin Qi.

It took the initiative to rub its large head against Qin Qi's hand, as though acting spoiled.

"See? My Martial Soul is completely different from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."

"That proves I have nothing to do with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, right?"

Qin Qi spoke.

"Really? I think this makes you seem even more related to us."

Yu Yuanzhen did not speak further. Lightning erupted from his body, and blue lightning instantly enveloped the entire room.

Yet it did not damage a single object. That level of control was truly terrifying!

"Roar!"

Sensing the lightning, the Golden Saint Dragon vaguely felt a resonance.

Lightning also began flickering around its body involuntarily.

"Though their appearances are different, the resonance between their lightning cannot be faked. This is more reliable evidence than anything else."

"As for their appearance, that is evidence too. Only our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has ever produced an External Beast Martial Soul."

"No other clan has ever had one. Since you possess an External Beast Martial Soul, you must be related to our clan's bloodline."

Yu Yuanzhen looked at the lightning around the Golden Saint Dragon and revealed a faint smile.

Martial Souls with the same bloodline source would vaguely sense one another. This was more reliable evidence than anything else.

"Damn it."

Qin Qi could not help cursing under his breath. Although the Golden Saint Dragon had completely become his Martial Soul,

its bloodline origin truly was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. There was no problem with that.

"Alright, come back with me. Once we return, I'll help you find out who your father really is."

Yu Yuanzhen stood up, preparing to leave and take Qin Qi back with him.

"Wait. This is only a reference. It can't confirm it one hundred percent."

"There are so many people in this world. How could some random person you meet happen to be an illegitimate child of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

"That's too absurd. Don't tell me the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has illegitimate children everywhere outside."

"You can just find one whenever you look?"

Qin Qi made his final struggle, doing his best to awaken these people's normal way of thinking.

He wanted them to think carefully. The world was so vast, so how could they casually find an illegitimate child?

This was not some female-oriented novel where young masters and young ladies lost outside were everywhere.

"..."

Yu Yuanzhen remained silent.

"Why aren't you saying anything... Wait, don't tell me your clan really has illegitimate children everywhere outside?!"

Qin Qi could not help opening his mouth wide. No, he knew people on the Douluo Continent were absurd,

but they could not be this absurd! Was everyone in their clan a stud?!

Scattering their seed everywhere.

"..."

Yu Yuanzhen continued to remain silent, but it seemed as though Qin Qi had guessed correctly.

"That's too ridiculous. I need some peace and quiet."

Qin Qi laughed angrily. After encountering Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and Shrek Academy,

he had thought he could understand how bizarre this world was. But now it seemed he was still far too normal!

"There's nothing we can do about that. Our clan is large, and for the sake of passing down the family line, we encourage having children."

"Besides, the men of our clan are very charming. When traveling outside,"

"it's inevitable that they will have a few—or a few dozen—female confidantes."

Yu Yuanzhen himself had several children, several wives, and several female confidantes.

But that was not because he indulged himself. It was a sacrifice he had made for the clan!

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was extremely prone to mutation, and not many inherited a pure Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

Furthermore, due to the limitations of their Martial Souls, they could only absorb sub-dragon species Soul Rings. The higher their cultivation, the harder it became to advance.

As a level ninety-five Titled Douluo, he was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's only Titled Douluo.

His younger brother, Yu Luomian, was only a level seventy-nine Soul Saint now.

This was the drawback beneath the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul's formidable combat power: cultivation was difficult, and its talent requirements were high.

To make up for this weakness, they could only work hard at having children.

Perhaps they might draw an SSS-grade gold card.

"Forget it. Let's drop this matter."

"But I won't go with you. Whether or not I'm from your clan,"

"I won't go with you. I'm doing quite well on my own right now."

Qin Qi looked at Yu Yuanzhen and spoke.

He definitely could not leave now. He had not finished absorbing the Soul Bone's energy.

Under such circumstances, the Soul Bone was a ticking bomb. If it was discovered, it would explode.

He had not mastered Familiar at First Sight yet. With only Strangers at First Sight and a simple Disguise Technique, he could not fool them for long.

There were still a few missing traces to establish Feng Jiuy​​e's identity. Until those were completed, he absolutely could not leave.

And he had not yet gotten revenge on that profiteer Flender!

"Is that so? What if I insist on tying you up and taking you away?"

Yu Yuanzhen expressionlessly walked over to Qin Qi, his tall figure casting Qin Qi in shadow.

He looked down at Qin Qi from above. There was no threat in his tone, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty!
