The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

Chapter 153 The Hidden Saint's Bloodline

If you look closely, you can see that the girl has grown into a graceful young lady and is no longer childish and naive.

Her face is delicate and graceful, with a hint of youthful charm between her eyebrows, making her eyes look even more lively.

Her eyes are clear and bright, like a clear spring.

"I seem to have seen you at this age."

Shu Wanwan looked at the girl's face and confirmed that it was Dai Yan when she was young. Then she turned around and said to Dai Yan behind her.

"Well, this is the fourth year since my sister left the Yuchi family and went to Qingfeng Temple."

The girl Dai Yan raised her head slightly, looked at the sky, and a hint of longing appeared in her eyes.

She remembered very clearly that four years ago today, her sister left home, leaving her to live alone.

"Sixteenth birthday."

Dai Yan muttered to herself.

She recalled the scene at that time, and a complex emotion surged in her heart.

However, at this moment, Shu Wanwan suddenly felt something strange.

She frowned and muttered to herself, "Something feels wrong..."

Her eyes involuntarily fell on Dai Yan beside her, but she hesitated to speak, not knowing how to start asking.

Dai Yan seemed to sense Shu Wanwan's doubts, and she said softly, "Well, you must be curious why I seem to be doing much better than in previous years."

Her voice was calm and gentle, with a hint of a smile.

Shu Wanwan nodded silently. She was indeed very curious.

She didn't know why such a change had occurred in the young girl Dai Yan, and she waited quietly for Dai Yan's explanation.

"Because my Saint Maiden bloodline has also awakened."

There was a hint of gentleness in Dai Yan's tone, and her eyes were shining.

"what?"

Shu Wanwan widened her eyes, her face full of surprise.

The Saint's bloodline has awakened.

What does this mean? Countless questions flashed through her mind.

Faced with Shu Wanwan's surprise, Dai Yan regained her calm expression.

She smiled and said, "Yes, but rather than being defeated by awakening, it's better to say that I can no longer hide it."

Dai Yan's face no longer showed the sadness she had felt when recalling her sisters' farewell. Her voice slowly rose, as if she were telling a story from long ago.

"Well, that's right." Dai Yan said calmly.

"When?" Shu Wanwan asked curiously.

"Seven years old." Dai Yan answered concisely.

Between the questions and the answers, Shu Wanwan showed shock again.

"Seven years old?" Shu Wanwan repeated Dai Yan's words, seeming to find it hard to believe.

"You awakened at the age of seven but didn't speak it out?"

Shu Wanwan frowned and muttered to herself, "But it's hidden?"

Her eyes were a little blurry, and she seemed to be lost in deep thought.

Suddenly, Shu Wanwan's eyes lit up, as if a ray of light flashed, and they became clear and bright in an instant.

She whispered, "Could it be because..."

Dai Yan sighed softly. She had originally not intended to tell the reason, but now she understood that Shu Wanwan had already understood the reason.

Since the two had just signed the contract, it was easier for them to understand each other.

As long as Shu Wanwan thinks according to Dai Yan's state of mind, she will be able to understand her thoughts quickly.

"Yeah, that's right, it's what you think."

Dai Yan nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Shu Wanwan's guess.

"I had already awakened before we went to steal the book."

She recalled the past with a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"The day I awakened, I was extremely excited and ran to look for Ning Yuanbu happily."

"I was still very naive at that time. I thought that as long as the Saint's bloodline power awakened, he would treat us better."

“I was really happy at that time.”

"However, when I arrived at his study, he was not there."

Dai Yan paused, then continued, "Just then, I unexpectedly saw an ancient book of the Yuchi family's secret techniques in front of his desk."

“That book caught my attention, and I opened it curiously, wanting to learn more about the family secrets.”

“When I opened the book, I was shocked by its contents.”

“There’s a sentence written on the first page of the book.”

"What?"

"Two flowers bloom, one strong and one weak."

Shu Wanwan's expression was still puzzled, and she looked at Dai Yan, as if asking, "That's it? That's all?"

"Gone?"

In the end, Shu Wanwan couldn't help but ask this question.

Dai Yan was a little absent-minded.

"Two flowers bloom, one strong, one weak, one life, one death. The strong live forever, the weak perish. The distinction between strong and weak becomes an obsession. Life and death separate, and everything falls apart."

Dai Yan's voice was filled with sadness, as if she had already seen the ending.

"Just because of this one sentence?"

Shu Wanwan continued to ask.

"No."

Dai Yan came back to her senses, a beautiful arc appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she looked at Shu Wanwan.

The eyes are gentle and calm.

“Because of the annotations.”

Dai Yan answered softly.

"annotation?"

Shu Wanwan repeated Dai Yan's words.

"Ah."

Dai Yan nodded, her gaze still on Shu Wanwan, her eyes full of pampering and tenderness, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, Dai Yan looked like a warm older sister, making people feel extremely at ease.

However, if you look closely, you will find that there is more maturity in her eyes.

One can't help but wonder what she has been through.

At some point, the atmosphere between the two of them quietly changed.

The original playfulness between friends disappeared, replaced by a warm emotional exchange.

"Yeah. I saw Ning Yuanbu's annotation: The weak will die!"

Dai Yan said softly, with a hint of sadness in her voice.

Hearing this, Shu Wanwan's heart was shocked and her face became heavy in an instant.

She stared at Dai Yan with wide eyes in disbelief, and those three words kept echoing in her mind: "The weak die..."

In an instant, all the fragments seemed to be connected together.

Shu Wanwan was in a complicated mood and for a moment she didn't know how to express her inner feelings.

She was shocked by Ning Yuanbu's cruelty and felt sorry for the tragic fate of the two sisters.

Did Dai Yan start pretending to be stupid at the age of seven and continued until she was sixteen?

"When I saw this comment, I was so young and all I could do was feel scared."

Dai Yan recalled, her voice still calm, as if the memory did not bring her any pain.

She paused and continued, "I ran out of the study and found a place to hide."

"I don't know what to do. Should I tell him that my bloodline has awakened, or should I keep it a secret?"

"At seven years old, I faced such a difficult decision and had no idea what to do. I was so scared."

"If I tell him, my sister will die; but if I don't tell him, I won't be able to live."

"I had no choice but to hide for two whole days and two nights."

"However, the sad thing is that no one in the entire mansion cares about my whereabouts. Only Aunt Yuxiang and my sister are looking for me."

"Luckily, the incident didn't cause much of a stir because no one cared about me."

"Finally, my sister found me. I hadn't eaten for two days and was shivering in a haystack."

"She thought I was hiding because I was having trouble learning magic, and she yelled at me."

"She said I was a bad kid."

Perhaps remembering the look of scolding from her sister at that time, a smile appeared on Dai Yan's face and she shook her head slightly.

Yes, how harsh words can such a young child say?

Bad boy.

Perhaps that was the most serious reproach she could express.

"I still remember it was a sunny day, but my mood was as heavy as if it was covered by dark clouds."

"I squatted quietly, my eyes fixed on the distance, but I didn't know what I was thinking."

"She suddenly rushed over, she searched all the yards, and finally found me in the haystack of this abandoned yard."

"That was the first and only time she scolded me."

"There was no anger or disappointment in her voice."

"What does that sound feel like..."

Dai Yan raised her head slightly, as if trying to find her sister's voice in her memories.

"Yeah, yes, it's a grievance."

"Her voice that day was full of grievance, which made me feel extremely confused."

"I've never seen her like this before. She was so overwhelmed for a moment."

"I thought he would be angry and mad at me."
