Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 771 - 396: Qiao Family’s Dramatic Prime Time_3

Glancing at the price tags of these Fuji ornaments, and then at the quality of these items.

Lily could only say that Fuji is just too formidable.

'Perhaps I should do the same, add Fuji's likeness to the Thousand Mechanism Magical Artifact and sell it at twice the price?'

Lily's mischievous merchant spirit awakened, while Zhang Ze finished the story about Qiao Tianqiao.

Zhang Ze, "The Six Sects have no intention of pursuing responsibility, you can rest assured, Uncle Qiao. But for personal reasons, I want to know what the elder did back then."

Qiao Erli took a sip of tea, his expression a mix of complex emotions.

He couldn't imagine that the person Zhang Ze talked about, who shone like a star across the two sects, was his father.

In his impression, his father was always gentle and slow, mostly sitting with his mother, spending whole days like that.

As for cultivation, he did have it, but never showcased anything extraordinary.

Ordinary, just like him.

Never raised a hand, never fought.

After a long while, Qiao Erli finally spoke, "To be honest, Young Master, it's the first time I've heard about these matters. My father never mentioned these things to me before."

Qiao Erli looked at two photographs, the people in them bore no relation to his impression of his father.

"But if I were to speak of something unusual, there is indeed something. It seems that my parents somehow knew their destiny, as they tidied up their affairs and left together as Celestial Immortals on the same day.

"That was many years ago.

Hmm… please sit for a moment, Young Master, I'll go fetch something."

With that, Qiao Erli went into the back room and returned shortly, carrying a spherical object.

"This was left by my father before he passed away, saying that if anyone came asking about his past, to give them this."

The sphere was the size of a basin, entirely blue-black, warm to the touch, and unknown in its material, feeling heavy but light as a feather when held.

"If my father has any secrets, I guess they should be hidden here."

Zhang Ze examined the large black egg repeatedly, but couldn't discern anything from it.

'Surely this thing isn't a Pill Medicine for me to ingest?'

Discarding this ridiculous thought, Zhang Ze invoked Spiritual Qi, trying to probe inside the object.

Qiao Erli watched from the side, curious about the contents of this relic after hearing Zhang Ze's explanation.

However, after a cup of tea's worth of time passed, nothing happened.

This might be Zhang Ze's first failure in cracking a walnut, his Divine Sense met with no response.

Yet just as Zhang Ze considered taking the object away for slow study, the black egg in his hand suddenly began to move.

The black egg buzzed once, instantly turned ethereal, escaped Zhang Ze's grasp, and flew towards the back of Lily's head...

While over there, Lily was also contemplating launching a Fuji-branded Thousand Mechanism Thunder and shivered, her previously cured luminous syndrome by Miemie relapsed, and this time it was even brighter.

Like a sun, it illuminated the entire room.

But quickly, the light extinguished, and along with it, the basin-sized black egg vanished.

Zhang Ze, "Lily, you?"

Lily, "I'm fine, boss, don't speak for now, wait a moment..."

Lily waved her hand, showing a senile demeanor and signaling Zhang Ze to remain quiet.

After a long silence, Lily frowned, her expression as if she had watched 300 episodes of the tragic drama "The Temptation of Returning to the Sect."

She looked complicatedly at Qiao Erli, "Your father truly was a character."

Qiao Erli was a bit frightened by Lily, "What do you mean... what did my father do? Where did that black sphere go?"

"Actually, the black sphere is a 'letter,' within it speaks of... let me think about how to tell you... hmm, if I misspeak, please forgive me."

Lily was aware of her limitations, but next, she surprisingly spoke of profound truths.

"Your mother is not human."

Qiao Erli, "?"

"Oops, I mean your mother is not mortal, not Human Race." Lily slapped her mouth, quickly correcting herself.

Originally preparing to fight to the death with Lily, Qiao Erli was pulled back into the chair by Zhang Ze.

Qiao Erli, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Ze glared at Lily, indicating she should think carefully before speaking.

Lily reorganized her words, "Hmm, how should I put it, your mother's true identity is actually a double-yolk egg, because... um, thanks to your father's kindness and long-time companionship, they fell in love.

"However, your father had congenital ailments, hindering longevity, though there was a method to heal, it required trading life for life, only one of them could survive.

"In search of solutions, they left Dragon Tiger Mountain, went to Beast Taming Sect, and later traveled across the East Continent for some time.

"But even in the end, they didn't find a solution, settled in Cyan Thorn, and your mother chose to live as a human alongside your father, living and dying together for the rest of their lives.

"That's it."

At this moment, the old creature hurriedly flew in through the window.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? I just received the Star God's emergency signal, what happened? What happened?"

It happened to be wandering nearby just then and flew over upon sensing the commotion.

Seeing the old creature arrive, Lily pointed at it and said to Qiao Erli, "Well, that's how your mother originally looked..."

Qiao Erli looked at Lily, then at the shining double-yolk egg, feeling overwhelmed with the influx of information, didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally, burned by urgency, his eyes flipped, and he fainted with a thud.

Zhang Ze, "!"

He scrambled to rescue Qiao Erli while frowning at Lily, "No, you turned what should be a poignant love story into an awkward tale."

Lily looked as if she had done something wrong, "I... misspoke again."

Zhang Ze, "Otherwise, did Uncle Qiao faint because I angered him?"

As Zhang Ze finished speaking, before Lily could refute, the crystal cover on the wooden cabinet behind Lily suddenly lifted.

A group of small Fuji figures holding musical instruments jumped out, surrounding Lily.

"Lily, you've misspoken again, haven't you! Octagonal cage! Begin!"

Suddenly, the shop became chaotic, and more people gathered outside.

Only the aged creature, that double-yolk egg, lingered alone in the wind.
