Chapter 844: A Black Bead
Yun Chujiu watched helplessly as Yun Xiaotian opened up a total of eight layers of cloth, and inside it was a dim, broken black bead!
Yun Chujiu was instantly discouraged. This broken bead did not have the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power. What kind of treasure was this? Moreover, even if it was really a treasure, it should have been pa.s.sed to her fourth brother or fifth sister, but not to her.
“Little Jiu, this bead is the family heirloom of our Yun family. Today, grandfather will give it to you. Don’t look at it as something ordinary. Your great-grandfather once told me that this bead is the key to a big secret. It must not fall into the hands of others.” Yun Xiaotian said solemnly.
“Grandfather, you’d better give this bead to uncle! Or you can give it to Fourth Brother and Fifth Sister! They are older than me, so shouldn’t it be given to them?” Although Yun Chujiu was greedy, she still knew what to do and what not to do.
Yun Xiaotian shook his head, “When your great-grandfather gave it to me, he also said that this bead would only recognize the Yun family’s bloodline. However, all of us, including your father, tried to make this bead recognize its owner, but there was no reaction after our blood was dripped on it. Grandfather has been feeling uneasy recently, and I always feel that something big is about to happen. After thinking about it, grandfather can only be at ease if I give this bead to you. If something happens to grandfather, you can find the right time to hand the bead over to your uncle or Chu Si.”
“Pui! Pui! Pui! What you said just now doesn’t count! Grandfather, why are you saying such morbid things?! No matter what happens, Little Jiu will protect you!” Yun Chujiu said angrily.
Yun Xiaotian sighed. “Silly child, grandfather is just afraid of what might happen! Grandfather has caused you a lot of trouble. Who knows, this bead might end up attracting more trouble in the future. However, after thinking about it, I realized that only you can protect this bead. Grandfather has let you down!”
Yun Xiaotian had also struggled for a long time, but recently, he had felt increasingly uneasy. After thinking about it, he decided to bite the bullet and hand the bead over to Yun Chujiu.
Yun Chujiu saw that Yun Xiaotian did not seem to be making excuses, she could only take the bead and say, “Grandfather, don’t worry. I will take good care of this. When you change your mind one day, I will return it to you. Hehe, fortunately, only the Yun family’s bloodline can activate this bead. Otherwise, I might be greedy and take it for myself!”
Yun Xiaotian knew that Yun Chujiu was deliberately interrupting him to cheer him up, so he stroked his beard and said, “You greedy little monkey. Were it was not for this reason, would grandfather dare to hand this bead to you?”
“Hehe! Grandfather, does this thing really only recognize the bloodline of the Yun Family?” Yun Chujiu asked curiously.
“Of course. When your great-grandfather gave it to me, he specifically said that only the blood of the Yun family could unlock the secret of this bead. Somewhere along the way, this bead was once seized by others, but they could not do a single thing with it. “If you don’t believe it, just try it.” Yun Xiaotian said with a smile.
“How can there be a treasure that only recognizes specific bloodlines?! I don’t believe it! Grandfather, I’m giving it a go! Don’t blame me if it is really activated!” Yun Chujiu saw that although Yun Xiaotian was smiling, there was still a hint of melancholy between his brows. She was ready to play tricks on him to make Yun Xiaotian laugh.
Yun Xiaotian was indeed amused by Yun Chujiu’s greed. “You greedy little monkey, just try it then. If it really recognizes you as its master, grandfather will give this bead to you! Anyway, you are a member of the Yun family. If it weren’t for your bloodline, grandfather would have wanted you to try it long ago.”
