Chapter 56: Those Who Seize Will Ultimately Gain Nothing

"Xiaoyao City colluded with the Dragon Clan?" Gu Fuyou furrowed her brows. "What... Qilin Marrow... me?"

These words were completely baffling. She understood each individual word, but when they were put together, she couldn't comprehend it. "When did Xiaoyao City collude with the Dragon Clan? This is baseless. What do you mean by dividing the world? Uncle Lu, you know about Xiaoyao City."

Lu Yandong shook his head. "I know, but you are confused."

The corners of Gu Fuyou's mouth sank, and her eyes looked empty and lost. Initially, she thought she had misunderstood something, thinking that when Lu Yandong mentioned offering her, he was referring to her contact with Zhong Michu.

However, upon further thought, it didn't make sense.

Zhong Michu's connection to the dragons should be known by few, and he grew up in Jingdu Mountain with only a trace of dragon blood.

Lu Yandong must have misunderstood something.

He randomly brought up Qilin Marrow, implying that she was the Qilin Marrow.

Xiaoyao City was using her in a trade with the Dragon Clan.

That seemed to be the meaning behind his words.

However, Gu Fuyou felt even more dumbfounded. It was like a massive joke. It was as if a worthless stone had been sitting beside her for over twenty years, and everyone who saw it would say it was just a piece of rock.

But suddenly, one day, someone came and held it up, saying, "Look, this is an invaluable treasure." Could anything be more absurd?

But even though Gu Fuyou found it difficult to accept, she couldn't help but delve deeper into her thoughts.

Her mind raced, and suddenly she remembered the insignificant details from the past that she had overlooked.

It was like grasping onto a thread, connecting all the scattered pieces.

While she couldn't believe it, the more she thought, the more it confirmed that she was the Qilin Marrow.

Gu Fuyou's face stiffened. "I... am the Qilin Marrow?"

Lu Yandong silently looked at her, tacitly confirming it.

Gu Fuyou took two steps back, barely stabilizing herself. She reached into her pocket, pulled out Ah'Fu's front paw, pressed it against the pad of flesh, and opened a small wound with her thumb. A drop of crimson blood emerged.

The blood looked like a red agate bead, seemingly normal.

Gu Fuyou also took out the sword embryo from her storage pouch.

Lu Yandong's subordinates immediately became vigilant, as if they were ready to pounce and subdue her if she made any sudden moves.

Lu Yandong raised his hand, signaling them not to act rashly.

Gu Fuyou glanced around and wiped the blood from her finger onto the sword embryo.

She infused it with her spiritual power, and the sword embryo immediately emitted a radiant light.

Gu Fuyou's expression froze. It wasn't an illusion. The sword had emitted unusual light twice before when she used it.

Once in the ice cave in Xianluo, she thought it was because Zhong Michu had transferred her spiritual power to her.

Another time in the underground cave, she couldn't figure out the reason and, coupled with Amon's death, she didn't dare dwell on the matter too much.

No matter how incapable she was, she would never have imagined that she possessed the Qilin Marrow.
