The second time I saw him was after Misha revealed her Half-Demon form. He confirmed the parts of her body where her bloodline was concentrated, and after I answered him, I once again heard him call her a waste.
The third time was when the Mirror Demon eavesdropped on us.
Sang Qingxiao pondered for a moment and asked, "When that person revealed their bloodline, which parts condensed into the Qilin form?"
During our first encounter, it was the entire left side and the area above the right waist. When she revealed it again during the fight with the Mirror Demon, the Qilin form changed; the right side expanded, leaving only her thigh and calf, while on the left side, her hand was still human.
Sang Qingxiao sensed something was off and hurriedly asked, "What did he want when he came to you for the third time?"
He asked for Misha. When he couldn't find her, he inquired about her whereabouts.
"Was it really necessary to ask you?" Yuanhui replied. "Isn't it common knowledge that Misha is under my care? Hasn't that spread throughout the Demon Catching Realm?"
Yuanhui continued, "At first, I had similar doubts. After cautiously probing a bit, I learned that this person had spent a lot of time training in remote areas and rarely set foot in the mortal realm. He considered himself above us mortals and looked down on forming connections with people like us. Aside from me, he hardly had anyone to talk to."
"Did you tell him?"
"No."
"Really not?"
"Really not. Misha grew up right under my nose; I have some protective feelings for her and said I didn't know a few times. That person got angry and blamed me for not watching over his child, even thinking of killing me."
At this point, I felt grateful to the Mirror Demon; if he hadn't made a commotion while planning to retreat and took on the Qilin's wrath for me, I might have blurted out something I shouldn't have under life-threatening circumstances.
After venting his anger, that person's killing intent towards me diminished significantly. He kept ordering me to find Misha as soon as possible before leaving again.
Seeing that Yuanhui had said enough, Sang Qingxiao put on a beaded necklace inscribed with runes around his neck to show her sincerity before asking the crucial question.
"Why is he so anxious to find Misha?"
Yuanhui wanted to touch the necklace but realized both of his hands were broken. After enduring some pain, he replied, "Because... he didn't say."
"Even if he didn't say it, you must have your own guesses, right? Tell me."
Yuanhui sighed. "It's not just me; perhaps the Mirror Demon also guessed it. That's why even when injured, he still thought about heading towards Jingjing City. He probably wants to warn Misha to be careful of her biological father."
After that person first appeared, I developed a slight interest in the Qilin Bloodline. The ancient texts only contained a few legends about it; what intrigued me more was their current situation. After several twists and turns, I managed to uncover a bit.
Their obsession with their bloodline is no less than my obsession with the Empty Nirvana Abode—perhaps even more frenzied.
Mutual scheming and deprivation are common among them; their targets for attack often include parents and siblings, especially children. As long as one survives, they become a vast reservoir for extraction.
He cursed Misha several times, not only because he looked down on her shallow bloodline, but also because she awakened the Qilin Arm, which he already possessed in his left arm.
The second time he came to see me, it was likely out of unwillingness to accept the situation, wanting to confirm once more.
By the third visit, his entire aura was unstable, and with his left hand being a human hand, I suspected that perhaps something had gone wrong in his training or he had sustained an injury.
The quickest way to restore his left hand was to find another Qilin left hand, and Misha was precisely the candidate for that.
While all of this was merely my speculation, it was close enough to the truth. So, Miss Sang, please tell Misha to be very cautious of her biological father!
I will.
This wasn't just a piece of news; Sang Qingxiao wanted to ask more.
