Martial Master

The black ruins were deep and cold, with numerous, extremely complex passages.

As Qin Chen and the others advanced, they exchanged thoughts along the way. The Holy Daughter of the Bloodline Sacred Land, Jia Yiyi, had been secretly observing Qin Chen, her heart stirred with emotion.

Earlier, to save them, Qin Chen had disregarded his own life and fought fiercely against numerous blood-colored strange beasts, which deeply touched her.

What intrigued her even more were Ji Ruoyue and the other two. As a woman, she could clearly sense that the relationship between Ji Ruoyue and Qin Chen was quite special. Among them, the woman dressed in white, with an incredibly proud demeanor, was closest to Qin Chen. The other two appeared to be mere friends, but the exchange in their eyes revealed a deeper connection, something beyond just friendship.

With her intuition as a woman, she could distinctly feel that Ji Ruoyue and Chen Sisi seemed to harbor an inexplicable affection for Qin Chen.

This left her incredulous.

Especially after learning that Chen Sisi was a demoness from the Illusion Demon Sect, and Ji Ruoyue was a disciple of the hidden Ji family, Jia Yiyi was even more shocked.

Whether it was You Qianxue, Ji Ruoyue, or Chen Sisi, each one was a proud daughter of the heavens, with status and identity that did not fall below her own. They were jewels cherished by their respective major forces.

In their own factions, they had countless suitors, like fish crossing a river.

Their standards must be exceedingly high, yet they were all inexplicably attracted to one young man, leaving her in disbelief as she frequently scrutinized Qin Chen.

It must be said that although Qin Chen came from the lower four domains, he had distinct features—wild black hair cascading over his shoulders, and eyes as deep as the starry sky, possessing an indescribable charm upon closer inspection. He was not the type who appeared overtly charming or devilishly handsome at first glance, but rather exuded a low-key, reserved aura. However, if one attempted to understand him more deeply, they would find him as unfathomable as an endless expanse of stars, deep and inscrutable.

He was like a vortex, drawing you in the more you interacted with him, inciting admiration. Seeing Jia Yiyi gaze at Qin Chen repeatedly, Yue Chaolun sighed lightly; he understood that Jia Yiyi had developed curiosity about Qin Chen. He knew Jia Yiyi was a particularly proud and intelligent person, one who rarely took notice of others.

However, since Qin Chen had risked his life to save them, and like Jia Yiyi, he was the type to repay kindness, even the smallest gesture would leave a lasting impression in her heart. In fact, Yue Chaolun held a very good impression of Qin Chen. He was not one to look down on others simply because they came from a humble background; in his eyes, whether someone hailed from the lower four domains or was a powerful figure from the Martial Domain mattered little. What he valued most were a person's character and talent.

Otherwise, with the situation where so many people in the Bloodline Sacred Land looked down on Jia Yiyi, he wouldn’t have cared for her as much. Although Jia Yiyi was the Holy Daughter of the Bloodline Sacred Land, that was due to her father, Jia Xunbo, who was the vice president of the Bloodline Sacred Land in the Martial Domain—an extremely prominent figure in the Tianwu Continent, known for his erratic temperament; however, he was not a bad person, albeit a notorious womanizer.

Jia Yiyi was the daughter he had with a woman he was captivated by during a trip, born after a night of indulgence. After that encounter, Jia Xunbo left abruptly, never expecting to leave behind a daughter.

Jia Yiyi's mother, having been pregnant out of wedlock, suffered immense humiliation within her family. Yet, for the sake of Jia Yiyi, she endured the pain and gave birth to her, only to die from complications shortly thereafter.

Without her mother, Jia Yiyi lived a miserable life in her family, often going hungry and rarely having enough to eat. She survived through sheer willpower. Although Jia Xunbo left nothing for Jia Yiyi and her mother, he bestowed upon Jia Yiyi a powerful bloodline. Later, when Jia Yiyi ventured into martial arts and became a Bloodline Master, her bloodline power became evident during the Bloodline Master assessment. Only then did Jia Xunbo discover he had a daughter and brought her back to the headquarters of the Bloodline Sacred Land for training.
