"Because of my life experience?" Mu Yan stared into Ning Yue's eyes and said slowly, "Or because of my mother Ning Yanxin?"

Ning Yue was even more surprised than before: "You...you know again? No, how did you know? Even I just knew it!"

Mu Yan smiled, instead of answering her words, he asked, "Why do you think I have something to do with the Ning family? Is it because of that strange bell?"

Ning Yue nodded and handed Mu Yan the bell on her waist.

"This bell is called [Blood-Striped Bell], which is something that each of us from the Ning family has been born... Oh, no! To be precise, it is something that our mother must wear since she discovered pregnancy. I heard that only by wearing [Blood-Striped Bell] can we get the blessings and gifts from the ancestors of the Ning family, so that our cultivation will grow very quickly, without causing inner demons and sequelae. Moreover, in critical moments, the various formations contained in the [Blood-Striped Bell] can save our lives."

"But [Blood-Striped Bell] has a special attribute, that is, only the Ning family can wear it. Others will suffer backlash as long as they touch it. It is not a serious injury, but it will be very, very painful. If you let it go immediately, it will be fine. Just wait for it to be stung by poisonous insects, but the longer you take it, the more painful it will increase exponentially until you faint."

Mu Yan reached out to take the [Blood-Striped Bell] and immediately felt a slight numbness and tremor from his body to his soul.

This tremor made her feel completely devoid of repulsion, but instead she was indescribable intimacy.

It was as if someone gently stroked the soul with a gentle hand.

Apart from that, there is no feeling at all.

Ning Yue said: "I saw you touching the [Blood-Striped Bell] that day but there was no reaction. I guessed that you might be related to the Ning family, so I secretly went home and asked my father."

Seeing Mu Yanwang coming, Ning Yue quickly explained: "Oh, my father's name is Ning Zhongbai. If you really are Aunt Yanxin's daughter, then my father is your second uncle. Hehe, I should be your cousin, right? Over the years, the population of the Ning family has become increasingly declining. I really didn't expect that I have a cousin now!"

After sighing, Ning Yue said again: "I told my father what happened in [Huantian Cave Palace]. My father was very shocked and excited. Especially when I described your appearance, he actually burst into tears and said that you should be the child of Aunt Yanxin."

Mu Yan's hand on the table suddenly tightened and whispered: "Is my mother in the Ning family now?"

Although he had an answer in his heart, Mu Yan couldn't help but ask.

Ning Yue shook her head: "If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't have known that my father had a sister and I had an aunt. My father said that Ning Yanxin was a taboo in the Ning family and no one was allowed to mention it, otherwise the patriarch would be furious. Oh, by the way, the patriarch was named Ning Fusheng, he was my grandfather and your grandfather."

"I asked my father, where Aunt Yanxin, went, but my father refused to say anything. But I vaguely remember that twenty years ago, a demon cultivator broke into the Ning family, as if he wanted to take away someone, and then a war broke out with the patriarch, the elder and cousin Ning Xu. After that war, the Ning family was completely closed and no outsiders were allowed to enter and exit."

"I think if Aunt Yanxin disappeared, it should be what happened during that period."
