"How did you know?" Uncle Bug asked, looking at Han Sen with shock.
He had never mentioned the Nine-Life Cat to Han Sen before, and now that Han Sen had asked, Uncle Bug was surprised.
"Haven't you been looking at this?" Han Sen asked, pointing at the Nine-Life Cat pendant on his chest.
Uncle Bug nodded and said, "I was surprised to find the Nine-Life Cat on you. Old Han has been wearing it all this time.
I did some research on you, and I learned that your great-grandfather is called Han Jinzhi. Plus, you have the Nine-Life Cat, so I couldn't help but take a closer look. I didn't expect you to notice me. "
Han Sen looked at Uncle Bug and waited for him to continue.
Uncle Bug went on to say, "I know you have the Nine-Life Cat because I can feel its presence."
"You can feel its presence?"
Han Sen looked at Uncle Bug with confusion. The Nine-Life Cat didn't have a special presence, and it only reacted when Uncle Bug practiced the Blood-Pulse Sutra.
Han Sen thought Uncle Bug might have been a member of Blood Legion, and he might have had a way to sense the Nine-Life Cat. That was the only explanation Han Sen could think of.
But Uncle Bug had said he was an Interstellar Pirate, and he hadn't mentioned anything about Blood Legion. Han Sen wasn't sure if Uncle Bug was trying to hide something.
Uncle Bug pointed at Han Sen's chest and said, "Can you show it to me?"
Han Sen hesitated, but eventually, he took the Nine-Life Cat necklace off his neck.
Uncle Bug took the Nine-Life Cat pendant and stroked it. After a while, he said, "Old Han and I found this Nine-Life Cat pendant in an ancient ruin. I gave it to him myself."
Han Sen was shocked. He had always thought that if this item was a relic of Blood Legion, it would belong to an important member of Blood Legion. Han Jinzhi must have been an important member of Blood Legion.
But now, what Uncle Bug was telling him surprised Han Sen.
Uncle Bug was reminiscing about the past, and he said, "I wasn't famous back then, but I was a thief. Old Han found me and invited me to explore a ruin. It changed my life. I found the Qi Gong there, and that was where I found the Nine-Life Cat pendant."
Uncle Bug smiled and said, "The Nine-Life Cat and the Qi Gong were together. We were separated, and I used my family's skills to find the place. When I saw the Qi Gong and the Nine-Life Cat, I got greedy. I took the Qi Gong and the Nine-Life Cat and gave it to Old Han."
"Later, I cultivated that Qi Refinement Art, and my physical fitness improved. Then, I made a name for myself and became a famous Interstellar Pirate."
Uncle Bug returned the pendant to Han Sen and said, "There is a connection between the Qi Gong and the Nine-Life Cat pendant. I can sense it if I'm not too far away. That's how I know you have it."
Han Sen took the Nine-Life Cat pendant and asked, "What is this ruin?
Han Jingzhi went there for this pendant? "
"I know it's an ancient city buried in the mountains. I don't know where it is, but I think it's an ancient human settlement.
Old Han must have gone there for the Nine-Life Cat pendant. He told me to bring the pendant back to him, so I didn't take it, "Uncle Bug said.
Han Sen frowned. Uncle Bug's answer disappointed him. He still didn't know what the connection between Han Jingzhi and the Nine-Life Cat was.
"By the way, Uncle Bug, why are you so sure Han Jinzhi doesn't have children?" Han Sen asked a question that had been bothering him for a long time.
Many people didn't think Han Jinzhi would have children, and they were very sure of it.
In this era, infertility was not an illness at all. Generally, it could be solved through technological means. In the worst case scenario, it could be artificially bred through genetic technology. There were very few cases of infertility, and there were many ways to have a child if one really wanted to.
But these people were so sure Han Jingzhi wouldn't have children, and that meant there was something wrong with Han Jingzhi.
Han Sen wanted to know what that problem was, and if he was Han Jingzhi's heir, he might be able to confirm.
Uncle Bug shook his head and said, "If you want to know if you are Old Han's heir, then I can tell you for sure that you are not."
"Why?"
Han Sen asked, looking at Uncle Bug. He only trusted his own judgment, so he didn't want to rely on Uncle Bug's judgment.
Uncle Bug hesitated and said, "It's a secret, and not many people know about it. But Old Han is no longer around, so it shouldn't matter if I tell you."
Han Sen was delighted, and he pricked up his ears. He really wanted to know the answer to this question.
Uncle Bug pointed at Han Sen and said, "You are a pure human."
Han Sen nodded and said, "Of course I am a pure human."
Uncle Bug said, "That's right. You are a human, but Old Han is not. How could he have a human like you?"
"He's not a human?
Then what is he?
Shura? "Han Sen's mouth opened wide. He hadn't expected such an answer.
He remembered that Han Jingzhi was known as the last Qigong Master of the human race. He was also the instructor of the Blue Blood Special Forces. If he was a Shura, how could he be an instructor of the most elite Blue Blood Special Forces?
Han Sen stared at Uncle Bug, hoping to get an answer.
But Uncle Bug shook his head and said, "I don't know what race he is, but I'm sure Old Han is not a human. He told me that himself."
"There has to be something special about him, right?
Like the horns of a shura? "Han Sen didn't believe Uncle Bug's answer.
"Old Han looks like a human, but his blood isn't red. It's blue," Uncle Bug said.
"Blue blood?
Blue Blood Special Forces? Is this just a coincidence? "Han Sen frowned and fell into deep thought.
Uncle Bug saw Han Sen was thinking, so he pulled out a scroll and gave it to Han Sen. "This is the Qi Gong I found in the ruin. It's useless to me now, but if you're interested, take a look."
Han Sen accepted the scroll and thanked Uncle Bug. They chatted for a while, but there wasn't much to learn from him.
