My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

302 Leng Yihan's background may not be simple?

"We've arrived..." Perhaps because Leng Yihan wanted to avoid Xu Xiaoxiao saying something like, "You'll definitely grow up to be a stunning beauty," she walked particularly fast, and the others naturally walked just as fast to keep up.

"What should we do next?" Although he could ask Lu Youmei, he turned to Xu Xiaoxiao to ask her for an answer so that she would be more certain of her status as a newcomer.

Lu Youmei knew what Leng Yihan was thinking, so she didn't say anything and just watched.

"Hmm... I remember it is... you just need to put your hand on the beam of light." Xu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and then said to Leng Yihan.

"Understood." Leng Yihan nodded, and was about to tell Leng Zhenmo and Qing, but they were faster than her, their hands already on her...

“Use your body to block her view, then bite your finger so that the World Pillar can be stained with your blood during the certification. This will be very helpful for your future advancement. That girl probably doesn’t know this,” Lu Youmei said just as Leng Yihan was about to reach out and press her hand on the pillar of light.

"...And what about them?" Leng Yihan glanced at Leng Zhenmo and Qing, who had already placed their hands on it.

"There's no other way. We'll have to rely on other methods to speed up the improvement." Lu Youmei's tone was also a little helpless. She didn't expect the two of them to act so quickly. They had already done what Xu Xiaoxiao said as soon as she finished listening to it.

"This is the only way." In order not to arouse Xu Xiaoxiao's suspicion, Leng Yihan deliberately blocked Xu Xiaoxiao's view with her body, bit her thumb until it bled, and then caught up with the World Pillar.

However, when Leng Yihan pressed the button, she didn't expect any reaction. Just when she wondered if the World Pillar was malfunctioning, the World Tree's voice finally reached her ears.

[Verifying lineage, please wait. Current progress: 1%]

"Hmm? There's such a function... Could it be that the system determines how convenient it is for a person to obtain the Borderlands?" Upon hearing this, Leng Yihan immediately and subconsciously said to Lu Youmei.

"Huh? What did you hear?" Lu Youmei was taken aback by Leng Yihan's words and asked in confusion.

"Huh? Wait... After smearing the blood on the World Pillar, shouldn't we hear the World Pillar speaking? Like the system's voice?" Leng Yihan asked in confusion.

"Hmm? What did you hear it say? Tell me." Lu Youmei seemed to sense something was wrong and quickly said.

“Oh… what did it say… it’s confirming my bloodline…” Leng Yihan muttered, but Lu Youmei remained silent.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Leng Yihan asked, puzzled, noticing that Lu Youmei hadn't spoken.

"Leng Yihan, is there any special bloodline in your family?" Lu Youmei asked after a short silence.

“Huh? No, my family has always been ordinary people…” Leng Yihan said, but then suddenly fell silent, “…Wait…why does Mom know about Leng Binglan…”

Yeah... wait a minute... why does Mom seem to know so much about Leng Binglan? And she seems completely unfazed by all these supernatural events!

"What's wrong? Have you figured it out?" Noticing the thoughtful expression on Leng Yihan's face, Lu Youmei guessed that Leng Yihan might indeed have figured it out.

“Well… I’m not sure… but I just suddenly remembered something strange about my mom…” Leng Yihan paused for a moment before starting to explain what he found odd: “My parents… have never taken me back to our hometown to see my grandparents or maternal grandparents, as if I don’t have any of those relatives at all; secondly, when I first met Binglan, my mom actually told me not to get too close to Leng Binglan… as if she knew something about Leng Binglan…”

"Finally, there's something that's obviously obvious but I just haven't realized it yet: Mom... knows about spiritual abilities and cultivation, and Dad knows too, but they pretend it's so naturally... If you hadn't told me, I probably still wouldn't have realized there was something wrong with them." Leng Yihan listed the strangest things she had to say. Lu Youmei fell silent again, seemingly muttering something, but Leng Yihan couldn't hear her. She even hid Lu Youmei's inner thoughts from Leng Yihan.

"You...your surname is Leng...what are your parents' names?" This was the first question Lu Youmei asked after a period of silence.

"Ah? My parents... I took my mother's surname. My mother's name is Leng Yiyi, and my father's name is Han Qian..." Leng Yihan did not hide anything. He trusted Lu Youmei quite a bit. Judging from her expression, she must have discovered something about his parents.

[Verifying lineage, please wait. Current progress: 10%]

Ah... it's only 10% after all this time... Why is Lu Youmei suddenly silent...?

"Oh, sorry, I got distracted. I'm not familiar with the names Leng Yiyi and Han Qian... but I do remember there's a family with the surname Leng in the border region. They're considered ancient residents here, and apparently they were among the first to discover the border region and moved here immediately afterward... I was wondering if there's any connection, but I've definitely never heard of Leng Yiyi and Han Qian before, and there aren't any prominent families with the surname Han in the border region... nor have there been any particularly talented or gifted individuals in recent years..."

"Wait, Lu Youmei, you didn't know, did you?" Leng Yihan suddenly realized something. "My parents are actually not even fifty years old yet."

"Huh? Really? I thought it was some kind of old monster..." Lu Youmei was stunned.

"Isn't this just like you're insulting yourself...?" Leng Yihan complained.

"Let's see what the World Pillar has to say first. I can't hear what it tells you, but it should eventually tell you what your bloodline is. Just tell me then, and I'll see if I can get involved with any powerful family..."

"Huh? Lu Youmei, are you saying... that those powerful families have some kind of deal with the border region administrators?"

"Let's not talk about why you have the idea that there are administrators in the borderlands... The top twenty speed-up sects and clans here are all recorded by the borderlands. If their successors register with the borderlands, it will be much more convenient for them than for ordinary people. Whether it's the starting position or a ride along the way, the borderlands will provide these things to the successors of these families," Lu Youmei explained.

"Hmm... So, the fact that this bloodline identification exists means I might be from a powerful family?" Leng Yihan asked.

"It's not a possibility, it's certain." Lu Youmei emphasized again, "If you have more than 70% direct lineage from one of the top ten families, you will be detected by the World Pillar. That's it."

"Heh...so if something really is detected..." Leng Yihan smiled helplessly, unsure whether to be happy or frustrated, "then I might be the son of some powerful family..."

"Correction, it's a daughter."

"No! It's my son!"

303 A sneak attack?

"Hmm... It's not done yet... It seems these three are indeed not simple... But I think I'd better stay far away, lest they get into trouble during the registration process..." Xu Xiaoxiao's face darkened at the thought of the people chasing her.

"You just wait... A lady's revenge is never too late. If you ever offend me again, I will definitely take your dog lives..." Xu Xiaoxiao thought to herself, a vengeful glint in her eyes.

[Pedagogy Confirmation Progress: 20%]

"Only 20%... How long will it take..." Leng Yihan thought dejectedly. But what frustrated him even more was that his parents had kept it from him for seventeen years and had never told him anything about his background.

"Hehe... It's okay, let's wait a bit."

"Hmm." Although a little impatient, Leng Yihan was still waiting. However, when the World Pillar indicated that the bloodline certification had reached fifty percent, the other two women had already completed the registration.

"Huh? Yihan, you haven't finished yet?" Xu Xiaoxiao stood in the distance and came up after seeing Qing and Leng Zhen finish, but found that Leng Yihan still hadn't finished.

"Ah...yes, this thing was told to be for verifying some kind of bloodline...Xu Xiaoxiao, do you know her?"

"Hmm? This... I don't know either..." Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head. "What kind of bloodline verification... Leng Yihan, are you from some kind of prestigious family?"

"No, we're just an ordinary little family from out of town... Also, you can just call me Yihan."

"Then you can call me Xiaoxiao too?"

"If you don't mind, just call me that," Leng Yihan said. "You guys rest around here for a bit, I'll come find you later."

"Then we'll wait for you over there?" Xu Xiaoxiao pointed to the spot where she had just been standing.

"...That's a good spot. You should have more confidence in yourself. You're not getting any younger, and you'll have a lot to shoulder in the future." Leng Yihan glanced at the spot Xu Xiaoxiao pointed to, thought for a moment, and then said.

“…Okay, let’s go there first.” Xu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment after hearing Leng Yihan’s words, then nodded and walked towards that place.

Qing and Leng Zhenmo followed Leng Yihan to that place at Leng Yihan's signal, watching from a distance to see when Leng Yihan would finish the verification.

"Phew... I hope I can finish this quickly..."

-

"Um... I haven't asked your names yet?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked Leng Zhenmo and Qing after seemingly hesitating for a while.

"Cold and precious demon".

"Qing." Both of them had a cool and aloof demeanor, and simply replied to her.

"Ah..." Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward again.

"These two have absolutely no desire to chat... and we just met, so I don't know what topics we could talk about... Hmm... the sect leader didn't teach me this either..." Xu Xiaoxiao looked helpless as she pressed down on the two silent people. After all, they had just met, so it was normal that they didn't know what topics to talk about.

"How old are you this year?" Leng Zhenmo suddenly asked Xu Xiaoxiao.

"Huh? Is he talking to me?" Xu Xiaoxiao was caught off guard when Leng Zhenmo suddenly spoke to her, looking completely bewildered.

“Yes… what else…” Leng Zhenmo said helplessly. She couldn’t stand the awkward atmosphere any longer, which was why she spoke up.

"Oh... um... I'm twenty-three this year."

“Sigh… Twenty-three already…” Leng Zhenmo glanced in Leng Yihan’s direction, “Older than two of us here.”

"Who is it? You and this little guy?"

"No, it's me and that guy under the World Pillar in the distance. This little girl is your age... Pfft!"

Do you find it interesting to discuss my age like this?

Looking at Qing's petite figure... Xu Xiaoxiao really couldn't believe that this little girl was actually several times her age...

Was that what Leng Zhenmo was trying to say just now?

My worldview has been somewhat shattered...

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Qing, who was slightly angry, with mixed feelings.

"Watch out." Suddenly, Qing's face changed from anger to a sharp one. With a wave of his hand, Xu Xiaoxiao felt dizzy and was thrown aside by something.

Then, in mid-air, she saw the arrow that had been shot at the spot where she had been standing.

"It's someone from the Shadow Alliance!" Upon seeing the arrow, Xu Xiaoxiao immediately recognized who the owner of the arrow was.

"Don't even think about leaving!" Qing shouted, and with a wave of his hand, bamboo strips flew out from his sleeves and shot into the forest in an instant.

"Ahhh!" Several screams were heard almost at the same time. When Qing retracted the bamboo strip, three people were tied to it.

No, saying they were tied up isn't quite right. It should be said that three people were suspended. They were dressed in green, which made it easy for them to hide in the forest. They seemed to know a lot about stealth. Unfortunately for them, the person they encountered was a Qing, a Qing who was several levels higher than them.

All three bamboo sticks pierced through the bodies of the three people, and not just through one hole, but through several times. Blood kept flowing from the wounds, soaking the green bamboo sticks.

"Do you recognize these three people?" Qing asked, looking at Xu Xiaoxiao, whom Qing had just thrown away.

"The Shadow Alliance! I have no mistake!" Xu Xiaoxiao said through gritted teeth after seeing it. "The arrow that tried to kill me just now was their Shadow Alliance's special Shadow Arrow, which kills silently in the dark..."

"Heh... if that's really the case, Qing wouldn't have been able to save you just now." Leng Zhenmo sneered. "It's just that you're too weak. Getting stronger is the only way. This little trick..."

With a flick of her hand, Leng Zhen's sword flashed, and one of them was decapitated. Xu Xiaoxiao didn't even see the sword of this girl whose rank was clearly lower than hers, and she was filled with shock.

"And what does it even amount to?"

"Hehe... In the midst of showing off, you actually improved the level of your sword technique..." Qing smiled, looking at Leng Zhenmo with considerable appreciation.

"Are you guys here to be funny...?" Leng Yihan watched this scene from a distance. If it weren't for Qing being there, he probably would have given up on registering and rushed over long ago.

Even so, he still used his senses to investigate the situation, only to hear the two women having a funny conversation.

"Hey, how did you find her here?" Leng Zhenmo stepped forward and looked at the remaining two, saying, "If you tell the truth, I might consider sparing your lives."

"It's impossible for us..."

A flash of sword light, and the speaker's head fell to the ground.

“If you don’t answer properly, you’ll die too.” Leng Zhenmo looked at the last living person. “Of course, if you’re really that loyal, then I have no choice but to kill you.”

"Wait! I'll talk! I'll talk!" the man said hastily when he saw that Leng Zhenmo was not giving him a chance to resist.

"Tell me? How did you find it?" Leng Zhenmo looked at the last hot spot, while Qing threw the two dead people aside. She used the remaining bamboo strip to heal his wounds and then bound him even tighter.

“We…we were told our location by someone…the entire Xuanmen is now issuing a warrant for the arrest of Xu Xiaoxiao, the only remaining member of the Qingyun Sect and the sect leader’s personal disciple…as long as you can provide us with Xu Xiaoxiao’s location, there will be a generous reward to be won…” the man said, his face pale.
