The top-level junior sister also wants to act weak today

The clan leader's gaze was fixed on Yan Chuan, and his expression gradually changed from anger at the beginning to confusion.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, her tone wary, "What kind of sorcery did you use? How could a mere human be able to unleash spiritual power in my territory?"

Yan Chuan was startled, looking down at the Firefly Sword in his hand, a hint of surprise rising in his heart. He slowly sheathed the sword, turned to look at Jiang Yingxue, and whispered, "Are you really unable to use your spiritual power?"

Jiang Yingxue nodded: "Well, although my body has spiritual power, I just can't use it."

She spread her palms open, attempting to gather spiritual energy into a form. A slight chill spread across her fingertips, and thin ice crystals began to form within her palms. But before they could fully transform into ice flowers, they shattered like shattered glass, dissipating into tiny frosting that vanished into the air.

"Look..." Jiang Yingxue shrugged helplessly.

Seeing this, Yan Chuan also spread out his palms. His palms moved slightly, and a cluster of bright flames suddenly jumped out from his palms without any effect.

"Strange..." Yan Chuan looked at the flame in his palm and murmured softly, "I don't seem to be affected much."

"This is impossible! If you were human, you would never be able to do this!" The Spiritual Female Chief's face was stern, and a deep furrow appeared between her brows. "Unless, you have non-human blood in you."

"Non-human blood? How is that possible?" Although he had been called a little beast in the Prime Minister's Mansion since he was a child, he still knew what his father's background was.

"There can't be any other reason."

The next moment, the clan leader stepped forward without saying a word, tightly grasped Yan Chuan's wrist, and cut his palm. Blood immediately seeped out from Yan Chuan's palm.

The clan leader brought his hand to her eyes, lowered her head, and sniffed the bloody scent. Her expression, initially indifferent, gradually shifted to disbelief. Shock and confusion filled her eyes, even a hint of panic. "How could this happen..."

Yan'er, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly stood up and asked, "Chief, what happened? Is there something wrong with his blood?"

The head of the Spiritual Female Clan did not answer her, but the strength she held on Yan Chuan suddenly increased a bit: "Tell me the truth!"

Her voice was low and full of oppression: "Who are your biological parents? Tell me clearly!"

Yan Chuan was not used to such contact with women, so he suddenly pulled his hand back and frowned, saying, "My biological father is an ordinary person without spiritual roots. As for my biological mother, I have never seen her, but I think she must be just a weak woman."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been forced by her father to give birth to me.

"Ordinary person, weak woman, are you sure?"

Yan Chuan was somewhat helpless: "I don't need to lie to you."

The clan leader frowned and asked, "If they are all ordinary people, why is there elven blood in your blood?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air in the entire courtyard seemed to freeze. Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious.

Even Yan Chuan himself was stunned...How is it possible?

Jiang Yingxue pondered for a while, then pulled him aside and said in a low voice, "Big Brother, we all know that Prime Minister Xu is an ordinary person. But your mother..."

Jiang Yingxue paused. "Think about it, Prime Minister Xu has so many children, but none of them have spiritual roots. Even if those concubines were all accomplished people, Prime Minister Xu couldn't give birth to a child with spiritual roots. But you are the only one with spiritual roots, so your mother must be more special than others. So, could it be because your mother is a spirit?"

Yan Chuan lowered his eyes, unable to articulate his thoughts. However, this did explain why Prime Minister Xu, despite finding so many accomplished women as concubines, was unable to produce a child with spiritual roots.

"But if my mother is an elf, why would she be with Xu Shijie——"

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Yingxue interrupted, "You forgot, if no one had saved the spirit girl..." She paused, "I mean, if no one had saved Yan'er, what would have happened to Yan'er? Among the elves, some are very powerful, but some have abundant spiritual power but almost no combat power. Maybe your mother is the latter. Moreover, Prime Minister Xu is a vicious, insidious and cruel person..."

Jiang Yingxue became more and more angry as she spoke, and the more she spoke, the more she felt that it was not worth it for Yan Chuan's mother.

Yan Chuan looked at her angry expression and couldn't help laughing: "This is the first time I've heard so many slanderous words against Xu Shijie from a woman from an aristocratic family."

"After all, I'm not afraid of him, and my father doesn't like him either. He says he's just a smooth talker trying to win the emperor's affections, but he's actually a worthless person with no real skills."

Suddenly, the clan leader shouted angrily at the two of them: "Have you two had enough of talking? Isn't it time to give me an explanation?"

Yan Chuan turned around and continued to explain, "My biological father is indeed an ordinary man. If I really have the blood of your elves, then it can only be my mother. However, I have never seen my mother, let alone know who she is."

Jiang Yingxue quickly took over the conversation, "That's right, Chief. I've heard that although your elves have a strict hierarchy, you love and help each other. Now that it's been confirmed that my senior brother and you share the same blood, why don't you help me find his biological mother?"

"Help him find his biological mother?"

Jiang Yingxue blinked. "Yes, yes. Since you elves treat your compatriots as family, in other words, we are all of the same origin, right?"

The clan leader was stunned by this sudden proposal. The little girl was right. Elves really did treat their fellow elves like family. After all, compared to the number of humans, the number of elves alive in this world could hardly be described as rare.

"But where can I find him?" After saying that, the clan leader looked at Yan Chuan again and asked, "How old are you?"

"Twenty." Yan Chuan answered truthfully.

"I don't know about other elves, but I'm certain that in the past twenty years, no woman from our Spiritual Maiden Clan has left Tianshan, except for Xu Yan'er who left not long ago. Your mother is definitely not from our Spiritual Maiden Clan."

Yan Chuan and Jiang Yingxue folded their arms almost at the same time, looking thoughtful.

"So, my mother might be from another elf tribe?"

"Oh, then we have to ask other elf leaders."

"It's just that we can't meet the other elf leaders."

"But I heard that the elves hold a grand ceremony on Simon Island every year, and the leaders of each elf tribe will be there. Isn't it better for us to ask them?"

After saying this, the two of them looked at the leader of the Spiritual Girl Clan at the same time: "What do you say?"

"What are you looking at me for?" The clan leader hesitated for a moment. "You humans, you've broken into the forbidden land of Tianshan, but you're not trying to reach Simon Island, are you?"
