Chapter 68 - Monster
“Prince Arthur wants me to report to the Talent Cultivation Center as soon as possible,” said Mai Dongzi, mentioning her current backer.
Mai Dongzi’s main purpose for returning to the Xi family this time was to include Atom Xi in the family tree, sever her ties with the Nigri Xi couple, and also to change her name.
As for “interrogating” Zhao Fanni, she wouldn’t act without a suitable opportunity. This matter isn’t urgent for her; what’s important is to avoid leaving any traces that might reveal her intentions.
Therefore, it can be said that Mai Dongzi has basically achieved her objectives this time. She certainly isn’t very interested in staying here and is contemplating whether to leave immediately. After all, her excuse is quite valid—she needs to report to the Special Talent Cultivation Center as soon as possible.
“Mai Dongzi, you should know the family rules. Resources for elite family members are allocated based on their cultivation potential and level of cultivation. Your previous records are no longer accurate, so take the opportunity to get tested now while the elders are here,” the head of the Xi family said promptly.
Everyone in the family is eager to know Lucy’s true cultivation potential level. What happened back then that made the results of Lucy’s cultivation potential test completely inconsistent with the actual situation?
The age for testing cultivation potential in the Xi family is five years old. At that time, Lucy’s test results showed only a C-level Wood-type ability with no warrior or Psychic-type cultivation potential.
However, Mai Dongzi firmly demonstrated with facts that this test result was incorrect.
Naturally, the elders of the Xi family immediately investigated the Nigri couple. Besides discovering that Zhao Fanni had been administering ability suppressants to young Lucy, they found no evidence of tampering with Lucy’s cultivation potential test.
The more they investigated, the more anxious the elders became.
It’s worth noting that Lucy was only five years old at the time of the test. Even if she was exceptionally gifted, she would not have had the ability to hide her cultivation potential.
Furthermore, how could she have known her own cultivation potential before the test?
There are some traces of how Lucy practiced physical arts later on, but when it comes to her training in Psychic-type abilities, the elders found no trace at all.
It’s worth noting that apart from attending school during her middle school years, this child spent almost all of her time within the family estate. Zhao Fanni, who harbored ill intentions towards the child, completely failed to discover her secret.
All these signs indicate that someone was secretly assisting the child from behind the scenes.
This person must have known the child’s true identity from the beginning, and this person is likely a member of the Xi family with a relatively high status within the family.
However, no matter how much they investigated, the elders could not find any trace of this person.
This individual was so well-hidden that their actions led to the Xi family losing face in front of the entire Blue-Black Empire.
Additionally, the person behind exposing the false and true daughters on StarNet has yet to be identified by the Xi family. There is suspicion that this person is also the one who helped the child conceal her cultivation.
All these signs indicate that this person is not very friendly towards the Xi family.
The elders of the Xi family are eager to find out who this person is from Mai Dongzi, as it concerns the family’s security.
However, Mai Dongzi’s attitude makes the elders hesitant to question her directly. Even though this person is unfriendly towards the Xi family, evidence suggests that they have done a great favor for Mai Dongzi.
If not for this person’s help in concealing her cultivation potential, given the actions of the Nigri couple, Mai Dongzi might have never had the chance to grow or might have ended up with ruined cultivation at best.
If they directly ask Mai Dongzi who that person is, it is likely to lead to a falling out between her and the Xi family.
Therefore, they can only suppress their doubts and turn their focus to the Renguang siblings.
