Chapter 743: Conjecture, Regret and Doubt
You can imagine how difficult it is to save a family.

Therefore, after the Xu family settled down, the ancestor's health completely collapsed.

"Out of gratitude and respect, the descendants of the Xu family also have a special preference for the red maple that was so loved by that ancestor."

"Even now, the Xu family still has many jade carvings about red maples handed down from their ancestors."

"The red maple jade carvings of the Xu family are also considered to be the Xu family's specialty."

……

“I think the red maple our ancestors liked was not the red maple as a plant.”

"But... Ling Feng is a monster."

……

Xu Qingzhu's words made Xiao Xiao raise his eyebrows unexpectedly, "Why do you think so?"

……

Seeing that Master Xiao did not deny his guess, Xu Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and explained the reasons for his speculation.

"Master Xiao, the courtyard you visited before is the ancestral home of the Xu family."

“That ancestor also lived there when he was alive.”

"Although the house has been renovated several times, it is somewhat different from its original appearance."

“But the overall situation has not changed.”

“You could see the red maple tree outside the window of the house where our ancestors lived at that time.”

……

"And the family tree records some details of our ancestors."

"It was mentioned that someone heard the ancestor suddenly called out 'Red Maple'."

“But everyone else thought that the ancestor was just inspired by the red maple leaves outside the window.”

……

"The genealogy also records that our ancestors may have had the habit of talking to themselves."

"Because more than one person heard faint voices coming from the ancestor's room door."

“But when they knocked on the door and went in, they found that the ancestor was the only one in the room.”

……

"I see."

Xiao Xiao murmured, then curled his lips slightly, "No wonder you have such thoughts."

Even though they were just some minor details, they did reveal some of the possibilities he had guessed.

The ancestor of the Xu family might also be someone who could see monsters.

So, "Did your Xu family have a demon master among their ancestors?"

Xiao Xiao seemed to be thinking about something. "The proportion of people who see monsters in your Xu family is quite high."

"Demon master? Demon seer?"

He understood the meaning of each word when separated, but when they were put together as a word, it was so unfamiliar that he was confused.

However, it is not impossible to guess some of the meaning.

"I am a demon master."

"You used to be a demon-seeker."

Xiao Xiao was brief and to the point.

Xu Qingzhu was confused, "Oh, that's what you mean."

"The demon-seeker?"

What a straightforward title.

"In fact, Uncle Xu, you used to be a very strong demon viewer."

Xiao Xiao thought of Mr. Jiang’s previous introduction about the demon seer, and couldn’t help but express his feelings.

"Ok?"

Xu Qingzhu was a little confused, "Very strong, me?"

"Uncle Xu, you can clearly see Ling Feng's appearance, right?"

Xiao Xiao did not answer Xu Qingzhu's question, but asked a question instead.

"Ah."

Xu Qingzhu nodded, but became more confused.

What do you mean?
He could naturally see her appearance clearly.

He had always thought she was human.

"Many monster viewers can only see a glimpse of the monster."

"They can't see the whole picture of the monster."

Xiao Xiao explained, "Generally speaking, the stronger a person's natural spiritual power is, the more likely they are to see most of the monster's appearance, or even its entirety." What a pity, if Uncle Xu was discovered by the monster master when he was able to see, he would most likely be accepted as his apprentice.

In this way, he could always see Ling Feng.

Only those who are born with spiritual power can cultivate spiritual power.

No matter how hard a person without spiritual power tries, he cannot practice.

Just like oil does not dissolve in water.

Spiritual energy can enter the body of an ordinary person, but it cannot remain there.

Ordinary people cannot even feel the existence of spiritual energy, let alone absorb it?
This is a question of talent.

Innate and cannot be changed.

In a situation like Uncle Xu's, where his talent suddenly disappeared, he could still rely on the spiritual power accumulated from his previous practice to continue seeing monsters.

The average demon viewer might only be able to hold on for a while.

But for someone as gifted as Uncle Xu who can see the full picture of monsters, those spiritual powers can probably support him for most of the rest of his life.

Of course, the prerequisite is that he does not actively consume the spiritual energy in his body.

Instead, he allowed the spiritual energy in his body to be consumed naturally.

"That's it."

Xu Qingzhu was a little slow to react because he was too surprised.

"Then why did I suddenly lose my sight?"

It took a long time for Xu Qingzhu to find his voice again.

Just a simple doubt.

You are very strong, aren't you?
"You can probably understand it as a prank from God."

Xiao Xiao smiled helplessly.

Regardless of people's wishes, they gave people the ability to see and took away the ability to see.

It's really unpleasant and powerless to resist.

Xu Qingzhu nodded silently.

Then he raised his head and asked, "Master Xiao, is it true that few people can see monsters?"

"Yes."

"So, I am actually lucky, right?"

"Yes."

Xu Qingzhu laughed.

After dinner, Xu Qingzhu drove Xiao Xiao back to school.

While waiting for the red light, he turned his head to look at Master Xiao's arms in the passenger seat, and couldn't help but feel curious, "Master Xiao, do you like foxes very much?"

It is rare for boys to keep foxes.

It is even rarer to see someone carrying it with them.

"Oh, my friend fostered me here."

After several times, Xiao Xiao almost believed what he said.

Xu Qingzhu was about to say something when he noticed the green light turned on, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove out.

He didn't turn his head slightly until the car was driving steadily on the straight road.

But I found that under the flickering light outside, the little white fox seemed to be glowing, and it was very beautiful.

It's also very magical.

Xu Qingzhu couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of a fox who is a friend of Master Xiao."

If he hadn't seen the fox clearly, he would have thought it was a monster.

He seemed to sense a familiar aura from this fox.

But when I looked into it more carefully, I found nothing.

Since it couldn't be a monster, then, "it was like a spirit beast."

"I've never seen such a clever fox."

Xu Qingzhu looked ahead, but his eyes kept glancing at the little white fox from time to time, and the amazement in his heart never subsided.

Uh?
He blinked. Was he seeing things?
Just as he finished speaking, he seemed to see the little white fox with its eyes closed open its eyes and glance towards him.

However, when he looked again, the little white fox had its eyes closed again.

This made him a little uncertain about the little white fox's opening of its eyes before.

After hesitating, he carefully recalled the look in the little white fox's eyes just now.

Seems like there is some appreciation?

Is it because of what he said before?
