I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

Chapter 3231: Chapter 1638: Once Again the Prime Culprit of Yue, The Emperor’s Supreme Heart Technique Century Scheme

“Yes, we have a child…”

Crack!

Crack!

As these words were uttered, the space seemed to freeze for a moment.

Xu Xiaoshou discreetly hid the image recording bead, his face showing shock as if hearing such major gossip for the first time.

Dao Qiongcang was equally shocked, his hands slightly raised, level with Xu Xiaoshou’s belly, seemingly proving to someone that he was unable to record video and audio.

In fact, during the night at Qingyuan Mountain, the two had already discussed the child of Bazhun’an.

But the gossip from outsiders and the personal admission from the parties involved were incomparable.

Not to mention, that phrase within the recorded clip, if thrown into the Shengshen Continent, who knows how big a splash it could make.

Perhaps the entire five regions would be in uproar, subsequently leading to a widespread “find the child” campaign.

Eligible children of Bazhun’an might emerge like bamboo shoots after the rain, appearing crazily one by one.

“What is his name?”

“Is it one child, or twins, triplets? Perhaps even quadruplets?”

Xu and Dao, both eager, took turns asking non-stop:

“Male or female?”

“He was definitely born, right? Is he… still alive?”

“His talent in the Way of the Sword should be good, right? How old is he now?”

“Xiao Kongtong?”

“That’s too old, Big Mouth Xiao already exists, it should be around thirty years younger, at the prime age…”

“Li Fuyu?”

Their guesses grew more and more outrageous, opening up all kinds of wild theories, alas, they did not get any response from Bazhun’an.

Bazhun’an’s remaining strength wasn’t much, and he seemed not to have noticed their prior little acts.

In fact, his willingness to speak openly meant he had acknowledged there was no need for secrecy.

The issue had long since passed, and now speaking about it felt like discussing a stranger.

Of course, regarding the child, Bazhun’an only briefly mentioned it before returning to the main topic:

“I ignored the threat letter…”

Threat letter?

Who wants to hear about a threat letter now?

We want to hear about the child, the child!

“What’s the name at least, so we know, in case we meet in the future to avoid any awkward encounters,” Dao Qiongcang knew how to subtly threaten.

It must be said, his subtlety was quite effective.

Bazhun’an contemplated for a moment, not concealing:

“August, a girl.”

…

August?

Who is August?

Xu and Dao, both felt unfamiliar.

Throughout the entire Ancient Sword Technique Circle, no known female ancient swordswoman in her thirties goes by the name August.

The only one fitting the description was Li Fuyu.

A name change?

No, it didn’t seem like it…

Instinctively, it didn’t seem likely…

Simultaneously unfamiliar, yet both somewhat recognized it.

It belonged to those names inadvertently heard from a passerby, mentioned in passing.

But too inadvertently!

Recalling it really needed some time.

At this moment, Cao Erzhu’s soul body boiled over, unable to restrain itself, and blurted out:

“Sister August?!”

Thoughts flooded like a tide, Xu Xiaoshou suddenly remembered the information about August.

Back when they first met Cao Erzhu at Qingyuan Mountain, he held a piece of paper with his name, mentioning it was given by “Sister August.”

August was accompanied by an old man, judged by Master Siren, who likely was You Tu.

August was younger than Cao Erzhu, probably not even older than himself, definitely not of the age group of Xiao Kongtong or Li Fuyu…

Frozen in age by technique?

Or really eternally youthful?

“It’s a bit confusing!”

Xu Xiaoshou found it unbelievable.

Indeed, at that time when the name August was mentioned, he associated it as the child of Bazhun’an.

But thinking it over, it seemed too rash, merely combining the surnames of Bazhun’an and Yue Gongnu to form a girl’s name seemed absurd.

Judging by the name “Bazhun’an,” his family’s naming skills shouldn’t be so sloppy.

Now it seems…

A prophecy fulfilled?

Xu Xiaoshou glanced at Elder Dao the Flamboyant, seeing his face as surprised as his own, then recalled the Qingyuan Mountain great array being under his control.

What happened inside, Dao Qiongcang probably already retraced.

Naturally, he should also know who August is.

…

“Do you recognize her?”

Bazhun’an spoke his daughter’s name plainly because he knew how low-profile You Tu was, having not truly returned to the Spiritual Cultivators for many years.

Ironic that Xu and Dao were aware of the name, seeing their expressions, it seemed they had even met her in person?

Bazhun’an hadn’t even seen what his grown daughter looked like!

Moreover, this unexpected silly soul body knew his daughter and called her so affectionately?

Chop him…

A thought emerged without reason.

Noticing the intent to kill, Xu Xiaoshou blurted without thinking: “He is Cao Erzhu, the son of Kui Leihan.”

Only then did Bazhun’an realize that this soul body was the person he needed to protect.

As for why Cao Erzhu’s soul was detained by Xu Xiaoshou, and why his body was usurped by Dao Qiongcang, this pair, one capturing the soul and the other occupying the nest, exactly what grievances they had done to the son of Kui Leihan before…

He didn’t want to know.

Done quite well.

As long as the person wasn’t dead, Old Cao’s request was considered fulfilled.

Bazhun’an, uninterested in matters beyond himself, had less curiosity than ordinary people.

Especially now, he didn’t threaten or ask these people to look out for August if they meet again in the future.

He merely noted down these few names, remembering that Dao Qiongcang recognized August, and then brought the topic back to himself:

“I ignored the threat letter and chose to go to battle.”
