At this moment, the room was extremely quiet.
Zhang Su and Yang Yun were looking at Zhang Chi in shock.
They had completely not expected that Zhang Chi could see so much from such small details.
Facing Zhang Su and his wife's gazes, Zhang Chi shook his head.
"Dad, I wasn't actually very sure at the time. It wasn't until I saw your reactions just now that I confirmed it."
Hearing Zhang Chi say this, Zhang Su opened his mouth, unable to speak for a long while.
Although his son had shown his intelligent side since childhood, Zhang Chi's current performance still far exceeded his expectations...
After a long time, Yang Yun broke the silence in the room.
"So, Xiao Chi, what are your thoughts?"
"Mom, I want to stay."
Zhang Chi gave the answer directly.
Hearing Zhang Chi say this, Zhang Su, who was on the side, advised in a deep voice.
"Xiao Chi, I remember when I told you about His Excellency Clear Sky, I should have also mentioned that His Excellency Clear Sky accidentally killed the previous Supreme Pontiff during a battle, right?"
"You did mention it."
Zhang Chi nodded.
Seeing this, Zhang Su continued.
"Because of that matter, His Excellency Clear Sky began to be hunted by the people of Spirit Hall. I suspect that is also the reason why His Excellency had to hide... live in seclusion in our Saint Spirit Village. If the people from Spirit Hall come knocking, what should we do then?"
While speaking, Zhang Su's expression also began to become increasingly grave.
Thinking of the six-year-old Tang San, Zhang Su felt a headache.
He felt that he had vaguely guessed the truth of that year.
Tang Hao and the Supreme Pontiff fell in love with the same woman, and this woman was Tang San's mother.
In order to fight for Tang San's mother, the Supreme Pontiff and Tang Hao engaged in battle, and eventually, the Supreme Pontiff died at Tang Hao's hands.
After piecing everything together in his mind, Zhang Su became increasingly nervous. Once Tang San's background was exposed and Spirit Hall came knocking, if things spiraled out of control, the Tang Hao family might not care, but the innocent would suffer as collateral damage.
Two big shots fighting—even the aftermath of the event was likely something his small Spirit Elder status could not bear...
Looking at Zhang Su's serious expression, Zhang Chi thought for a moment before responding.
"Tang Hao ol..."
After a pause, Zhang Chi resisted the disgust and changed how he addressed Tang Hao.
"Uncle Tang Hao has already stayed in our Saint Spirit Village for six years. If Spirit Hall was prepared to hold Uncle Tang Hao accountable, considering that Uncle Tang Hao didn't even hide his name, I don't believe that if Spirit Hall really wanted to avenge the Supreme Pontiff, they wouldn't be able to find this place. Since so much time has passed and no one has come, this already explains a lot of things."
After glancing at his father, Zhang Chi added softly.
"Besides, Dad, you don't really think that after we've guessed so much information, we still have a chance to... leave, do you?"
After hearing Zhang Chi's straightforward words, the room became quiet again.
After being silent for a long time, Zhang Su gave a bitter smile.
He understood the implication of Zhang Chi's words.
It would have been fine if he hadn't guessed Tang Hao's identity, but after guessing it, things were out of control.
Judging others by himself, in Zhang Su's view, if he were Tang Hao, in order to protect Tang San's safety, he would inevitably pay attention to the villagers of Saint Spirit Village. If one villager suddenly returned and then took their whole family away, Zhang Su didn't believe Tang Hao wouldn't be suspicious.
Realizing that it would be difficult for his family to leave in a short time, Zhang Su also gave up the idea of moving the whole family. Instead, he stood from a merchant's perspective and began to reconsider the new problem.
"Tang Hao has now fallen to the bottom. If I choose to bet on Tang Hao at this time, is there any profit to be made..."
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Su said to Zhang Chi.
"Then let's not rush to leave. Wait until you have your Spirit awakening, Xiao Chi, then consider other things. If you can awaken innate spirit power, then I won't stop you from doing what you want to do. If you don't awaken innate spirit power, I won't leave the village for a short time either, and I'll just stay in the village to accompany you and your mother..."
"Okay."
Zhang Chi nodded in agreement...
After Zhang Su and the other left, Zhang Chi relaxed again.
Taking a glance out of the window with his peripheral vision, Zhang Chi didn't know if his performance just now had been seen by Tang Hao.
"Without the ability to project mental force, it's hard to know if you're being secretly watched. This is the sadness of the weak!"
Sighing in his heart, Zhang Chi refocused his attention on the light screen in front of him.
"Inspect Tang San's panel."
With a thought, Zhang Chi used a risk-free inspection opportunity, and Tang San's panel appeared in front of Zhang Chi once again.
According to his previous plan, Zhang Chi reached out and touched the purple Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline entry of Tang San.
"Copy."
As Zhang Chi's thought fell, Zhang Chi's entry library also gained the exact same Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline entry as Tang San's.
Without thinking about other things, Zhang Chi lay on the bed, covered his head with a quilt, and directly chose to enable this entry.
"Enable!"
The next moment, a cool sensation spread from Zhang Chi's heart to his limbs and bones.
The bruises on Zhang Chi's back also disappeared in a very short time.
At the same time, a warm current began to gather an inch below Zhang Chi's abdomen.
After a long while, this strange feeling slowly faded away.
Lifting the quilt, Zhang Chi looked around.
At this moment, he felt a sense of loss.
"Hoo—"
After slowly exhaling a breath, Zhang Chi went to the mirror to observe his current state.
Noticing that his appearance hadn't changed much, Zhang Chi's body completely relaxed.
"It seems that even after enabling the entry, I still need to borrow the life energy of the Blue Silver Forest to awaken, just like Tang San."
While thinking, Zhang Chi touched the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline entry with his finger again.
Just when he was ready to use the purple entry upgrade opportunity on the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline entry as he had thought before, Zhang Chi suddenly discovered that the green Fall Asleep Instantly entry he had drawn before had quietly upgraded to blue.
[Fall Asleep Instantly (Blue): Sleep quality is greatly improved. Your physical strength and mental force recovery speed are accelerated. When in a sleep state, mild injuries and abnormal conditions will gradually disappear.]
"This is..."
Zhang Chi realized that the entry on his body seemed to have undergone a linkage phenomenon just like Tang Hao's.
After enabling the purple Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline entry, the green Fall Asleep Instantly entry he possessed had upgraded to blue.
The attributes of the entry also had a not-insignificant improvement.
Looking at the entry information with much stronger effects, Zhang Chi had a bit more understanding of this "cheat" he had just obtained.
