Chapter 202 Hundred Bell Flower Found!
Qin Jiang's heart trembled slightly, "I just happen to be somewhat interested."
With a faint smile, Ling Qingxue said, "Mr. Qin, have you ever heard of the Eight Clans of Capital City?"
Qin Jiang shook his head.
"Thirty years ago, Capital City was home to eight extremely prosperous families, collectively known as the Eight Clans."
"The influence of these eight major clans spread throughout the entire Divine Land."
"They had a hand in every trade and industry."
"Their family descendants were spread across the military, politics, and commerce, exerting a terrifyingly powerful influence in every field."
"Among these eight major families, there was one that was the most ancient and powerful—the Qin Clan."
"Their origins were mysterious, seemingly since Pre-Qin times, they were already among the top clans of Divine Land with a long heritage."
"Although known as one of the Eight Clans of Capital City, at that time, the Qin Clan was so prosperous that the combined power of the other seven clans was not as formidable as the Qin Family alone."
"However, thirty years ago, a calamitous disaster befell the head of the Qin Family, and overnight, this supremely glorious clan had its backbone broken and the strongest among them all died unnatural deaths."
"And the remaining members of the Qin Family fled to various parts of Divine Land to live in hiding with false identities."
"However, the people of the Qin Family were innately powerful, so even though they wished to disappear from the world, how could those clans allow them to live so easily?"
"Therefore, at that time several major families and superpowers united to launch a campaign to exterminate the Qin Family."
"Rakshasa was also one of the hired parties."
"After that battle, the members of the Qin Family in Capital City who were left in the world were few and far between, and even faced complete annihilation, with many family members forced to change their names."
"They no longer dared to claim themselves as the Qin Family."
"The Qin Family was thoroughly decimated."
Ling Qingxue's eyes were full of sighs, "Such a powerful family, to be exterminated overnight is truly unimaginable and too frightening!"
"They also immensely dreaded the Qin Family, which is why they spared no expense to kill every member of the Qin Family."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang fell silent.
"The Qin Family..."
"Is it the taboo of the present world?"
Ling Qingxue gave a bitter smile and said, "Pretty much. Speaking of which, it's not that no one dares to claim to be from the Qin Family. Over twenty years ago, there was an extraordinary and peerless genius who suddenly appeared."
"He claimed to be a descendant of the Qin Family."
"Once this news spread, various parties were shaken."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Many of the families that participated in the war to annihilate the Qin Family immediately issued orders to obliterate him."
"But in the end, they all suffered defeat at his hands."
"However, ultimately, this demon-like figure also vanished without a trace..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang nodded, "I have a general understanding now."
With a bitter smile, Ling Qingxue said, "Mr. Qin, you should be careful. I've heard that in several clans in Capital City, just hearing the name 'Qin' could provoke an intense reaction. Your surname... it might be a bit dangerous!"
Qin Jiang smiled indifferently, "Why fear when I have nothing to hide in my actions or to conceal in my name?"
Hearing Qin Jiang's words, Ling Qingxue silently nodded to herself.
The two continued to search around the area.
And they discovered many more things.
"Mr. Qin, look here!" Ling Qingxue suddenly cried out in joy, "I've found the things we've lost!"
She lifted a cloth.
Inside were many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as bronzes, and so on...
In another box.
It was filled with numerous rare medicinal herbs!
Seeing this scene, Qin Jiang's eyes also lit up with joy, the Hundred Bell Flower had been found?!
