Monster Master: Evidence of the Way

"This matter is Xuanwu... no, it is a major secret of our four major families! It will only be known after each heir confirms the identity of the successor."

Suzaku nervously held Iin's hand, as if he was afraid of something.

"This is our family's original sin."

It turns out that the ancestors of the four goddesses were not the great heroes in the legend. They were just the original followers of the ancestors of the Yi family of Chairman Tianyi.

The ancestors of the Yi family and their monster, the White Qilin, are the heroes who suppressed the monsters and saved the people from danger. But even heroes cannot do everything. There are too many people to save and too many monsters to defeat.

The ancestors of Family B gradually could not hold on any longer.

It was at this time that the four major families began to secretly pray to monsters at the Chaos Tree, but they attracted four monsters.

The demonic energy eroded the monsters along the Chaos Tree, causing the four beasts to become lawless. They could neither establish a spiritual connection with humans nor return. Their hearts were completely devoured by darkness.

Qiuchi is a poisonous white snake, Qiongqi is a tiger-like beast, Zhexiao is a dangerous bird, and Guiyuan is a giant turtle with immense power. These four beasts are extremely dangerous and have caused tremendous changes.

In the end, it was the patriarch of Family B who brought the white unicorn to calm the anger of the monsters, but they paid a huge price.

The ancestors of the Yi family sacrificed themselves for this, and the white unicorn was also demonized, becoming extremely anxious and bloodthirsty.

In order to clean up this mess, the four families joined forces with their respective monsters to put an end to the White Qilin and attach its power to the sacred object "Jixing Fu" of Zhongtu Hall.

The four major families completely replaced Family B and began to become famous.

"Xuanwu's power of words is essentially derived from the Xuanwu family's original monster, the Ghost Turtle. Xuanwu's annual sacrifice is to stabilize the Ghost Turtle's influence on her body. Xuanwu's coma is probably the result of the backlash of the Ghost Turtle's power."

"But Suzaku-senpai,"

After hearing what Zhuque said, Yiyin seemed a little confused.

"Weren't the ancestors of the four families and their monsters long dead? Why is Ghost Turtle still able to lend power to Senior Xuanwu?"

"As monsters summoned directly from the Chaos Tree, those four possess unimaginably terrifying power. Even though they have perished, their spirits remain immortal, continuing to guard the Four Gods' base for generations to come."

Zhuque looked very sad. They were essentially the descendants of a group of liars, but in order to maintain their superficial appearance, they had no choice but to continue making mistakes.

"Don't tell anyone else."

Zhuque let go and began waving his little fists in a "threatening" manner.

At this time, Yiyin fell into deep thought. Perhaps Xuanwu's coma was just a smokescreen, and the real purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes was to obtain a powerful monster?

No, it's too early to judge...

Without sufficient evidence, any speculation would be weak. It seemed the only option was to wait for Azure Dragon and White Tiger to return.

night.

"Master Yiyin, Miss Suzaku, the master has asked me to prepare a guest room for you two. Please rest in my humble abode tonight."

Yiyin and Zhuque stayed in Xuanwu's bedroom until the evening. After dinner, Mr. Brownson came with a message.

Yi Yin knew that Sai Xiaoxi didn't want them to leave. But there was nothing he could do. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Yiyin and Suzaku were taken to their respective guest rooms by Mr. Brownson.

It’s really terrible. Yiyin and Suzaku’s guest rooms are located at the southernmost end and the northern end respectively. It would be very difficult for them to exchange information even if they wanted to.

Suzaku said nothing and went straight into his room.

Yi Yin didn't want to embarrass Mr. Brownson, so he went to his room.

Objectively speaking, this room is no different from Xuanwu's bedroom, except that it looks slightly smaller and has less furniture.

From lunch time to evening, Yi Yin had not seen the brothers Sai Daxi and Sai Xiaoxi. They must be busy trying to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

So what to do now?

Yi Yin secretly looked outside the door and found that Mr. Brownson was guarding his door meticulously like a loyal guard, fearing that something might happen to him.

Now it was impossible to sneak out and investigate.

……and many more.

Who said it's impossible?

Now Yi Yin is no longer a rookie who just arrived at Blue Star and knows nothing. He is someone who has been taught personally by Angulin!

Yiyin calmed himself down and used the breath-holding technique together with the green-haired turtle, greatly weakening his presence.

Although I don't know what Mr. Brownson's perception is, I can't care about it at this moment.

After activating the breath-holding technique, Yiyin walked past Mr. Brownson silently as if he was walking through an empty space.

It worked!

Yi Yin suppressed her inner ecstasy. The next question was where to go?

Yiyin wanted to go find Suzaku, but Suzaku didn't know how to hold his breath, and there was a possibility of alerting the enemy. So, Yiyin gave up the idea for the time being and decided to act alone.

After a brief walk, Yi Yin was dismayed to discover that the gate leading to the Xuanwu family's residence was locked. Although he had activated the breath-holding technique, he was not completely invisible and could not pass through walls.

Are we just going to give up like this?

Not necessarily. There is another way, but...

Due to years of disrepair, there is a mini dog hole on the wall of the Xuanwu family mansion, which leads to the outside world.

The problem is, it's a dog hole.

Yiyin is now 1.63m tall and weighs 53kg, so it is still a little difficult for her to get out through the dog hole.

If you get stuck halfway, it will be a disaster...

But how can there be a perfect plan?

Yes, if we don’t go out now, we will lose a great opportunity to investigate intelligence. As the most critical night, it is very likely to be wasted!

Drill it!

Who hasn’t crawled through a dog hole?

.

Yi Yin struggled to crawl out of the dog hole. Compared to him, the green-haired turtle seemed much more relaxed. After all, it was a turtle.

The wind outside was a little cold, and Yiyin was a little confused.

He had no idea where Qinglong's mission was, so even if he came out, it would be useless!

Yi Yin was cursing herself in her heart for not thinking before doing things, but suddenly she noticed a woman in blue walking towards her in the darkness.

It’s Qinglong!

But it’s strange, why didn’t I see the white tiger?

Yi Yin greeted her enthusiastically, "Senior Qinglong! You're finally back! Where's Senior Baihu?"

Qinglong replied calmly, "She just saw me and should be back at the Four Gods Base now. The Xuanwu incident isn't a big deal. He's appeared before. I'll just go take a look."

"..."

Yi Yin felt that something was wrong with Qing Long. Bai Hu had gone there at noon, so why did Qing Long only come back at night? Moreover, as Xuan Wu's good sister, she didn't seem anxious at all.

"Senior Qinglong, I have something to ask you. Do you know Senior Xuanwu's real name?" Yiyin asked pretending not to know.

"What's the difference between real name and fake name? If Xuanwu is not called Xuanwu, can he still be called Xuanwen?"

Qinglong laughed.

really interesting.

Yi Yin thought to herself, "No way! Could it be that Senior Qinglong doesn't know Senior Xuanwu's real name is Sai Shier? It's not impossible, but... no, I have to test her again."

Thinking of this, Yi Yin chuckled and secretly took out something from his storage ring.
