Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"But what you don't know, Yin'er, is that the Imperial Master gave us a treasure as a reward. It was that treasure that allowed us to completely gain a foothold for the Xie family and laid a solid foundation for the Xie family's growth and expansion."

"treasure!?"

"Yes! Yin'er, do you think that just an iron mine can make my Xie family a great family? That's really ridiculous. How can the rise of a new family not cause suppression by others with such a big pie?"

"And aren't you curious about why our ancestors, the Xie family's patriarchs, have always been sensible and far-sighted, and have only ever met noble people but never made enemies with any of them? And all this is because of the treasure."

"Is that so?"

Xie Yin widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Which big family doesn't have treasures they want? Even Taizong has an imperial sword, which is said to be able to slay demons and ghosts. The official seal made by Taizong can protect the body and is immune to all evil, not to mention the things that the aristocratic families have accumulated over the years."

When Xie Jing said this, his voice became deep.

"As far as I know, the Kun family, the world's number one merchant, has a treasure called the Suan Tian Pan, which is said to increase wealth and bless the family's prosperity. The general of the army is also said to have a treasure, which is said to be a spear made of dragon marrow transformed from a mountain range. It is powerful and can dominate everything. Which of these noble families doesn't have some hidden treasures, not to mention the magical people with special spells they support."

"The heritage of a great family is beyond imagination. Our Xie family is able to have the current reputation thanks to the treasures bestowed by the national teacher!"

Having said this, Xie Jing paused, and seeing his daughter Xie Yin looking at him with sparkling eyes, his heart softened, so he stopped keeping the secret and spoke directly.

"The thing the national master gave our ancestors was a transparent bead. It is said that it was the power left when Taizong subdued the dragon vein and injected the power of the dragon vein into the seal, mixed with the power of the stars introduced by the national master, and the light of the sun and the moon. This treasure was made. This bead is called the Bead of Luck."

"This bead has no other functions, but it can protect the luck and fortune, so that it will gather and not disperse, and it can also detect the luck of others."

"Explore other people's luck! Wouldn't that make you invincible!?"

"No..."

Xie Jing shook his head.

"It's not that easy. Luck rises and falls, just like the mist that is unpredictable. You never know if a person's luck is as bright as purple light today, but it will turn into a dark cloud next month and he will die soon. Therefore, the treasure mainly brings us the power of protection. You should know that the reason why our Xie family is thriving is because of the good luck that gathers and does not disperse. It is also because of this that the Xie family has the current reputation."

"Of course, even so, the ability to read other people's luck has also helped my Xie family gain a lot of connections and opportunities. It is also because of this that my Xie family has grown step by step to this point without being coveted and suppressed by others!"

After hearing this, Xie Yin finally understood. She thought for a moment and asked back.

"So the reason why father wanted to win over that person is because that person has extraordinary luck?"

"More than extraordinary, I have never seen such strange luck. Normally, the luck on the heads of ordinary people is nothing more than black, white, blue, purple, and gold from childhood to adulthood. However, this person is particularly strange. He has no luck at all, and his head is blank!"

“Is there no luck?”

Xie Yin exclaimed.

"Then why did father want to befriend that person? Let's not talk about this unusual and invisible luck. Just looking at this abnormal situation, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse. How can we casually socialize with that person at this time?"

"After all, my Xie family has reached such a state. No matter whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it will not have any impact in the future. Whether there is a new dynasty or not, at least my Xie family will be worry-free. Father, why did you do such an impulsive thing? Could it be that you were really bewitched by that person?"

Having said this, Xie Yin frowned and looked at her father.

"I'm going to say something unpleasant, but please don't mind, father. If you are old and can't judge people, I hope you can give up the position of head of the family and let me take over as soon as possible. It is better than you casually involving the family in unclear troubles and causing the Xie family to fall into the abyss and never recover."

"You little girl, how can you say that about your father?"

Xie Jingqi laughed and pretended to slap the table angrily.

Her daughter could say such words, which was only because she was spoiled by her father. If it were someone else, they would probably beat this evil girl to death for saying such words to criticize her father.

However, Xie Yin was indeed worthy of praise. She held her head high, raised her eyebrows, and looked proud.

"My daughter is just telling the truth! Although you are old, father, you have such an excellent daughter, so why should you be angry?"

"Girls, you have no shame in bragging like this."

Xie Jingqi smiled.

But Xie Yin was not ashamed, instead she held her head high with pride, her eyebrows raised, and her watery eyes filled with pride.

"Like father, like daughter. Isn't this inherited from you? If that's true, then your father is the one who loves to brag the most!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Jing blew his beard and glared.

"Who said that! I would never do that as a father."

"Huh, who knows~"

The old and the young stared at each other for a moment, and finally the old father, who loved his daughter deeply, gave in.

"Alas, my daughter has grown up and is no longer obedient."

With a sigh, Xie Jing shook his head and then explained the reason why he did so.

Doomsday Natural Disaster Leaps Over Dragon Gate: Chapter 362 Chapter The Imperial Master Gives Treasures for a Request

It turns out that the pearl that the national master gave to the ancestor was not completely without a purpose. After all, the ancestor's life-saving grace is big or small, at least with the ability of the national master, they would not have starved to death at that time. The Xie family was able to obtain the mining rights of an iron mine, and the pearl has protected them for a hundred years, benefiting several generations. The cause and effect of the life-saving grace have long been understood.

Moreover, after more than three hundred years, the pearl has already proved its importance and value.

"What did the Grand Master ask for at that time?"

Xie Yin asked.

"The condition is very simple. That is, a few hundred years later, if I encounter the right opportunity and meet the right person, I hope the Xie family can give me some help and hand over the orb to the other person!"

"Could it be that! That person just now was!? But how do you know that the other person is..."

"Is the Imperial Master so powerful? Can he predict our situation?"

Although Xie Yin knew that the imperial teacher's divination skills could predict the future and the past, she still found it a little hard to believe that he could predict the present from three hundred years ago.

"No, the destined person is not that person, but every generation of the family head has a slight connection with the pearl, so I can vaguely feel that the other party is connected to that destined person, and it is even very likely that the other party is the person behind the scenes."

"At that time, our ancestors also felt it was a little strange. They didn't understand why the State Master could predict what would happen a hundred years later. However, the State Master's ability came first, and our ancestors also took note of it, so it was passed down from generation to generation."

Xie Jing took a sip of tea and sighed when he said this.

"After all, he is the Imperial Master. It is beyond the comprehension of mortals. How can we imagine it?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yin nodded in understanding.

"Is that why you treat that person preferentially? After all, the destined person mentioned by the Grand Master must be extraordinary, so you always want to make friends with him in advance?"

Xie Yin frowned in thought.

"Although my Xie family has a good family tradition, isn't the Imperial Master afraid that we will pocket the money and not hand it over?"

"Speaking of which, the Imperial Master has been in seclusion for decades! How can he be sure that things will turn out as he imagined..."

Xie Yin raised her doubts, but saw Xie Jing took a sip of tea and smacked his lips.

"You don't have to worry about this. The Grand Master has already made preparations. He knows that people's minds are fickle, so he will naturally do something more. Every generation who inherits the family headship must sign a blood contract with this gem. Heaven and earth can bear witness to it. If anyone violates it..."

"What will happen..."

Xie Yin asked, but Xie Jing saw her curiosity and knocked her on the head unexpectedly with his beard raised.

“It hurts!”

"You little girl, do you think you'll never see your old father again?"

"Hehe, no way, I love my father the most~"

Xie Yin acted like a little girl. She quickly came to Xie Jing, hugged his arm, shook it, and started to act coquettishly.

Seeing this, Xie Jing shook his head helplessly.

"Don't worry! Although the Xie family has reached this point because of the pearl, it is also due to the efforts of our Xie family. Everything depends on human effort. As long as the Xie family does not encounter any major problems with this pearl, it doesn't matter if we lose it."

"Besides, when I sent that person away, I sent people to the so-called Longting County to investigate. I believe that the news will come soon. We just need to wait patiently. Even if they are wrong, the guards will just do a good deed and they won't lose anything."

Xie Yin blinked when she heard that, her eyes rolling around, and then she looked at Xie Jing intently and asked tentatively.

"Father...are you really that willing to give up?"

"of course……"

"Don't lie! Your daughter will know immediately if you're lying!"

"Okay! Actually, I can't bear to give it up. Who can be willing to give up such a good thing?"

Seeing that his daughter didn't give him face, Xie Jing had no choice but to tell the truth.

"I'm telling you, father, how could you bear to do this? I'm afraid it's not just about the blood oath, right?"

Xie Yin guessed.

"Father, what happened to the family?"

If nothing had happened in the family, how could my father be so enthusiastic and concerned about that destined person? If his attitude wasn't so restrained, he would have looked like a lackey no matter how you looked at him.

"What a lackey! Is that how you view your old father? Go away."

"Oh, don't be angry, don't be angry! It's just a metaphor, a metaphor!"

It turned out that Xie Yin accidentally spoke out her true feelings, which made Xie Jing so angry that he fumed and glared.

But he quickly calmed down and sighed.

"Actually, it's not the Xie family's problem, but the world has changed."

"Has the world changed?"

"That's right! The world has changed, and I need to find a way out for my family..."

Xie Jing nodded seriously.

"The world is not in chaos just now, but a disaster of heavenly fire that has never happened before... Yin'er, although your father has kept you from going out for the past few months, you may not know, but as a noble family, the Xie family still has some information. The current situation is a bit strange..."

As he spoke, Xie Jing frowned.

"Father, you look so depressed. What happened?"

Xie Yin asked.

"With the protection of the pearl, the Xie family may not see any changes, but I have heard from outside that due to natural disasters, the harvest has been wiped out, and now many cannibals have appeared..."

"Cannibalism..."

Xie Yin frowned.

"Yes, although there are always some inhumane beasts during every famine, this time it is particularly serious. I have heard that these cannibals have united together and there are thousands of them..."

“Thousands of people!!”

Xie Yin was a little surprised.

"Yes! Not only that, my father also personally sent people to test it. Except for some of the fields in my Xie family that can grow food because of the blessing of luck, most of the good fields outside are now unable to produce food."

Having said that, Xie Jing looked at Xie Yin solemnly.

"Yin'er, do you understand the seriousness of this?"

Xie Yin was stunned. How could she not understand?

In the past, natural disasters were generally floods and droughts, which were routine natural disasters that could be recovered after a few years of rest; but now there is a sudden fire from the sky, and even the land cannot be used for cultivation. This is obviously abnormal.

"Not only that, I can clearly sense that there seems to be some movement within the major families. After investigation, I found that they seem to be secretly sending people to collect those meteorites."

"Isn't this a good thing? Since everything was caused by the meteorite, if we can gather the power of the noble families and combine it with the ability of the state teacher, maybe we can solve the problem?"

The young girl asked, after all, the Imperial Master was a living god, even though he had been in seclusion for decades, his abilities were still there and no one would doubt them.

It is precisely because of this that she is not particularly panicked about the fact that the land cannot be used for cultivation due to the heavenly fire, because she has the imperial master as her stabilizing force.

However, Xie Jing sighed.

"You think too simply. Let's not talk about the real purpose of these noble families. At least as far as I know, since the meteorite fell, the emotions of the civilians in the affected areas seem to be very abnormal! So this thing is obviously very evil. Besides, the state master has been in seclusion for decades, how could he come out! Maybe the state master has already passed away..."

"Go to heaven! This..."

"What? Do you think the Imperial Master can really live forever? As a cultivator, living to this age may have already reached the limit... Otherwise, why is the power of the imperial princess dispersed now, and why has she been unable to truly control the court? Now that power has fallen into the hands of others, with the royal family eyeing it covetously, and the noble families gloating over it, and there is also an evil sky fire falling. With such a big thing happening, why doesn't the Imperial Master come out..."

"So it is very likely that the old imperial teacher is either really in seclusion, or has already passed away. It's just that the royal family concealed this matter early on, so they used the excuse of seclusion..."

Xie Jing guessed.

Not only him, but all the major families also had some speculations. Otherwise, based on the divination ability of the National Master, he should have known the direction of the dynasty long ago. If he had controlled it in time, how could the dynasty have come to the current situation?

At the Xie family, the father and daughter were discussing with each other.

Longting County, which is several counties away, is developing in full swing.
