As he is satisfied, Wei Jaiyi cooperated eventually and just stood beside Gao Lan Mei while waiting for Li Shao and Li Mao to talk."Li Shao… I am sorry to hear about your father…" Li Mao started gently. Her tone sad and full of regret. "I want to know the whole details."
Li Mao then placed her hand on Li Shao"s shoulder gently, "Your father may be playful in nature, but he will never hurt someone unless it is his calling." She added.
He bowed his head to avoid looking at Li Mao"s eyes. The genuine concern is making the defense that he had carefully placed around his heart start to crumble.
For Li Shao this is the first time that someone told him, his father may have a good reason to whatever he did.
He did not speak as he is not sure where to start. "Do you at least know what Fángyù treasures are?" Li Mao decided to ask instead.
When Li Shao shook his head, that made her feel even sadder since her cousin was not even able to tell him the origin of their race.
"Our race is called Keepers because of those treasures. The Fángyù treasures are G.o.dly artifacts that we are accountable for. They are gifts from the G.o.ds to give chance to all beings in this world and the other universe to protect themselves." Li Mao started.
She paused for a moment, then she uttered with dread and concern on her face, "From what? We do not know." There is nothing mentioned in the old scripts.
They are only required to wield it, keepers of the G.o.dly treasures and use it at the right time. When will that be? No one knows.
Though she is speaking with Li Shao her eyes are dazed, gaze far, her mind remembering the Keeper"s ancestral valley where their history is still hidden.
It is really against the rules to let this information be told to others that are not part of the inner layer of Keepers, especially if there is someone in the room that is not even one of them.
Li Mao feels that it is not wrong though since one of them used the Fángyù treasure to attack someone means something is going on that needs everyone"s cooperation.
"Fángyù treasure can only be used against evil." remembering this part of their ancestral records, this makes her even more worried.
Li Mao continued when she got back from her memory lane, "There are eight treasures symbolizing the infinite and pure existence beyond the heavens. Your father is one of those that were blessed to be chosen with one Fangyu treasure. That alone proves that he is not corrupted, hence he will not be qualified to even use his treasure." Li Mao a.s.sured with confidence.
Li Shao cannot believe when Li Mao said that his father is not corrupted. He is not evil. That means he does not deserve to be called a criminal! So what is going on?
She completely understands the surprise on Li Shao"s face as not all keepers know what the G.o.dly treasures signify and how to be blessed by one.
Mostly only know that these are treasures strong enough for any to want it. It will not be easy though because it chooses you not the other way around.
Li Mao glanced curiously to the rest and everyone is listening intently. They are all trying to absorb all the details that she had said.
G.o.dly treasures are almost like a myth. These are treasures crafted by the G.o.ds themselves. Even in the other universe, the existence can be considered a dream. Did someone spill their race secret? Where they betrayed?
For other, Keepers are special because of their strong talent and ability to fight. They are like a warrior race. If a family have one under their wing it is very beneficial for them.
So what more if a family have one that is blessed with a G.o.dly treasure? Isn"t that like a hidden weapon?
