Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

"this…….."

Ye Fan frowned tightly, "Qingying, the ancient gods you mentioned, are they the members of the royal family of the previous dynasty that the Mingyuan royal family has always wanted to get rid of?"

"no!"

Su Qingying shook her head decisively. "Although my understanding of the ancient gods is very limited, the Mingyuan Dynasty is extremely wary of them and spared no effort to erase the evidence of their existence. The ancient gods are definitely not as simple as members of the royal family of the previous dynasty..."

"There is such a rumor!"

Yu Youwei glanced at Su Qingying and continued, "Legend has it that eight hundred years ago, Piaomiao Continent suffered a catastrophe that could be called the end of the world... A group of people who called themselves the 'Chosen Ones' suddenly appeared. They were extremely powerful and committed all kinds of evil... Wherever the Chosen Ones went, there was widespread grief and suffering..."

"The powerful Xuan cultivators among the common people had almost no power to resist when facing the Chosen Ones... They were slaughtered unilaterally... Countless Xuan cultivators fell in large numbers... Gradually, fewer and fewer Xuan cultivators dared to resist... Even those Xuan cultivators who dared to express dissatisfaction..."

"At this moment of despair, a man stood up... No one knows his origins. Some say he is a hermit who has not cared about worldly affairs for many years. Some say he is the ancestor of a large family of practitioners. Some say he is an ordinary farmer. Some even say he is not a human being at all, but a legendary dragon... There are many different opinions about his origins... But one thing is certain, that is, he formed an organization called the Ancient Gods and defeated the 'Chosen One'... This is how the human race was able to survive..."

"As for the rest, I don't know much about it... I only know that the person who founded the Ancient Gods was called 'God of War'... The reason why the Ancient Gods attach great importance to eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival is said to be because on the day the Ancient Gods were founded, 'God of War' invited them to eat mooncakes, which happened to be the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival..."

"Afterwards, no one knows what happened to the descendants of the ancient gods. They were torn apart, and almost all of them died or were injured... They gradually faded out of the world's sight... Coupled with the overt and covert suppression of the Mingyuan royal family, eight hundred years have passed. Not to mention the members of the descendants of the ancient gods, even the four words "descendants of the ancient gods" are probably few and far between..."

At the end, Yu Youwei sighed deeply.

"Why does the Mingyuan royal family want to suppress the members of the ancient gods?"

At this time, Ye Fan spoke up, "Are they not the Chosen Ones?"

"no!"

Su Qingying continued, "Ming Yuan, the first emperor of the Ming Yuan royal family, was originally the patriarch of the first Xuan cultivator family in Sifan City... They and the Chosen One are sworn enemies. It is said that when the Chosen One went there, almost all of Ming Yuan's nine clans were killed..."

"And Mingyuan founded the Mingyuan Dynasty by virtue of the important figure who killed the Chosen One... And the Chosen One has horns on his forehead... It is easy to identify him..."

At this point, Su Qingying frowned, "Although I don't know the specific reason, the Mingyuan royal family must have a deep hatred for the ancient gods, otherwise they wouldn't try every means to erase all traces of the ancient gods' existence... They even didn't let go of things like mooncakes, and even made up a lie that only the royal family of the previous dynasty was obsessed with eating mooncakes..."

"Mooncakes, descendants of ancient gods, martial gods, chosen ones, the royal family of Mingyuan...what the hell is this?"

Ye Fan scratched his head, feeling puzzled.

He came here today originally to find out the news about the half volume of Dragon Vein Heavenly Book, but Su Qingying talked about mooncakes and brought out so many secrets...

"Then Qingying...why do you know so much about mooncakes and the ancient gods?"

Ye Fan thought about it and decided not to mention the Dragon Vein Book. Instead, he asked about another question in his mind.

"Because my mother is a member of the ancient gods... I saw with my own eyes that the priests sent by the Mingyuan royal family killed my mother..."

Su Qingying's face showed sadness, and there was deep hatred in her voice.

"This woman... couldn't have entered the palace to become Emperor Ming Jue's concubine in order to avenge her mother... but the assassination attempt failed and she was banished to this cold palace, right?"

Hearing Su Qingying's words, Ye Fan couldn't help but speculate in his heart, "But it doesn't seem reasonable... If it was an assassination, he would probably be thrown into the sky prison or even beheaded directly..."

"When my mother told me this, I was still young, so my understanding of the ancient gods is also very limited..."

At this time, Su Qingying spoke again, "If you want to know more about the descendants of the ancient gods, you can go and ask Zhenbei Hou Liu Ran. I heard from Youwei that the relationship between you two seems to be very good!"

"Senior Liu?"

Hearing this, Ye Fan couldn't help but frown.

"Yes!"

Su Qingying nodded. "The Marquis of Zhenbei commands a large army and has made countless military achievements. He is certainly very famous, and his fiefdom is a very important part of the Mingyuan Empire, controlling the entire north... But these are far from enough to make the current emperor so afraid that he would personally intervene in all matters concerning Liu Ran..."

"What Emperor Ming Jue really fears about Liu Ran is his identity as a descendant of the ancient gods!"

"Liu Ran is also the only member of the Ancient God Clan that I know of who has appeared in public and is still safe and sound!"

Su Qingying quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"I go………."

Upon hearing this news, Ye Fan couldn't help but be surprised.

"Ye Fan, I have achieved my purpose of looking for you... You agreed to meet me, so I think you have your considerations... Tell me!"

Su Qingying exhaled lightly and spoke to Ye Fan.

"I………"

Ye Fan frowned and thought for a while, then a light flashed on his hand, and a small box appeared in his hand. It was the pointer obtained from the half scroll of the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book.

"I'll tell you the truth... The reason I met you last time was because of the guidance of this pointer..."

Under the gaze of Su Qingying and Yu Youwei, Ye Fan slowly spoke.

As he spoke, the needle of the Dragon Vein Book in his hand trembled slightly, and then steadily pointed to a direction, which happened to be where Su Qingying was standing.

When the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book pointer appeared, Su Qingying's expression changed slightly, but she quickly recovered. After looking at the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book pointer for a while, she walked around the room, while her eyes were always fixed on the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book pointer.

“Ye… Ye Fan, the thing you… you are holding in your hand… could it be… the legendary Dragon Vein Heavenly Book Pointer?!”

Su Qingying exclaimed after confirming that no matter how she changed her position, the needle of the Dragon Vein Book would always point to her.

As soon as these words came out, Yu Youwei, who was beside Su Qingying, immediately changed her expression, with a look of disbelief, "Qing... Qingying... You... You mean that the pointer box in Ye Fan's hand is the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book pointer that we have been looking for for many years but have never found? The pointer that is said to be able to guide us to find the other half of the Dragon Vein Heavenly Book?"
