Braydon picked up the little girl and said dotingly, “What’s your name?”
“Nina!”
The four-year-old girl’s eyes were bright and clear. She was very curious about the handsome brother in front of her.
Braydon’s aura made the little girl feel close to him.
The other villagers looked at the robe on Nina’s body. The image of a Qilin stepping on the clouds was vivid.
Everyone knew this pattern!
Don’t forget that Barrett Yearwood was once the guardian of the golden Qilin!
Everyone in the village knew the cloud treading Qilin.
The pup was stunned and said in surprise, “Look, isn’t this the cloud-treading golden Qilin that Grandpa Barrett mentioned?”
“It’s the golden Qilin!”
The surrounding elderly, women and children were all in an uproar.
“Grandpa Barrett, the cloud treading golden Qilin has appeared!” The little pup turned and shouted at the wooden house.
“Prime Minister, the owner of this genera tion’s cloud treading Qilin robe is here!”
Shepherd King turned around and said in the direction of the courtyard.
Everyone was silent as they looked at the courtyard.
The door of the wooden house in the small courtyard quietly opened.
An old man walked out. His face was covered in age spots, his eyes were cloudy, and he was blind. His back was a little hunched, and his left foot was a little slanted as he walked.
He walked out slowly, and all the villagers looked at him in awe.
This old man was Barrett!
The black-robed prime minister of the past was no longer the same as before.
There had been much sorrow in the world since ancient times.
A hero of the past is but a hero of the past.
Braydon carried Nina into the courtyard and said softly, “Northern army’s
Braydon Neal greets Prime Minister Yearwood!”
“Golden Qilin Guardian, Barrett Yearwood, greets Young Master!”
At this moment.
Braydon saluted his senior with the martial arts etiquette, but Barrett saluted Braydon with the kneeling etiquette.
This scene shocked everyone.
Braydon frowned and left with Nina in his arms. He did not accept the kneel and said softly, “Prime Minister, you shouldn’t do that!”
“The cloud treading Qilin robe has always had a guardian, and I, Barrett Yearwood, am the guardian of this generation. I have failed to accompany the growth of the Qilin Lord.”
Barrett’s eyes flashed with guilt.
As a guardian, he did not fulfill his duty. He hid in this village for fifty years and completely missed the growth of the owner of the cloud Qilin robe.
This was Barrett’s fault.
However, Braydon did not care about the past.
He wanted to know why Barrett had been guarding River Village for fifty years.
To be able to make the black-robed prime minister, the War God of the country, guard this place for 50 years and only be willing to contact the outside
world today.
There must be something he could not reveal. Braydon wanted to find out today.
What big secret was there in River Village?
Braydon’s thin lips moved slightly. “We can talk about other things whenever we have time. I came today to find out what secret this village is hiding!”
“Come in!”
Barrett only invited Braydon in.
The rest were not allowed to enter.
What the two of them were going to talk about next was the secret of River Village.
The wooden house was very simple and crude.
There was a wooden bed, three wooden chairs, half a wooden table, and nothing else.
Barrett’s life used to be magnificent. He had possessed monstrous power and had lived a rich life.
However, these were all in the past.
Barrett had never cared about all that.
He never wanted glory and wealth.
In the wooden house, Braydon gently carried Nina and sat in front of the wooden chair.
Barrett was an old man in his twilight years. He was blind and had a hunchback. He said lovingly, “Nina, can you go out and play?”
“Okay!”
Nina was very sensible and went out as she was told.
Barrett was even wary of children. Was he now willing to reveal the secret he had been hiding in his heart?
He drank a mouthful of water and asked softly, “Young Master, you inherited the golden Qilin. Although you are young, you are not weaker than the previous Qilin Masters.”
“Since you don’t want to talk about the secret of River Village now, let’s talk about the cloud treading Qilin robe!”
Braydon said softly.
It was about the northern army’s Qilin robe, the hundred-bird phoenix robe, the golden dragon robe, the black cloud flying fish robe, and the gray wolf white robe.
The story behind these robes.
Braydon wanted to hear some secrets from Barrett that outsiders did not know.
The inheritance behind these clothes was extremely shocking.
The phoenix robe was passed down from the Togo Dynasty. The first owner was Zendaya Togo.
The first owner of the golden dragon robe was Emperor Hansworth of the Hanlon Dynasty!
After a thousand years, the descendants still had not forgotten these ancestors, which was enough to prove their excellence.
“Young Master, you want to hear about the golden Qilin, so I’ll tell you the story,” Barrett drank some water and said slowly.
Braydon nodded, indicating for him to continue.
As the owner of the cloud treading Qilin robe, he did not know where the golden Qilin came from. Would that not be a joke?
Barrett slowly said, “The hundred-bird phoenix robe is the soul of the Togo Dynasty. The golden dragon robe is the soul of the Hanlon Dynasty. The black cloud flying fish is the soul of the Morphius Dynasty. The white gray wolf robe is the soul of the Togo Dynasty!”
This black-robed prime minister told Braydon what each piece of clothing represented!
They did not just represent an era!
They represented a dynasty!
Every piece of clothing carried an endless story!
Because behind the clothes was its legacy.
The clothes were only proof of identity. What was scary was the inheritance behind it and the faith that was firmly held in the hearts of the people.
Behind this belief was Hansworth.
Barrett had lived for many years. As the guardian of the golden Qilin, he knew many things about the past.
There were some secrets that a genius of Braydon’s age could not know.
This required experience!
Barrett smiled and said, “Behind every piece of clothing, there’s a history of the dynasty that can be investigated. Only the golden Qilin doesn’t!”
Braydon narrowed his eyes, and a bright light appeared in his eyes.
Why did only the golden Qilin have no history of a dynasty?
What did the golden Qilin represent?
Barrett said softly, “The birth of the golden Qilin originated from the Qilin talent ranking. Those who are not Qilin talents cannot enter the ranking. Those who enter the ranking are all Qilin children!
“Every Qilin child must be of the Hanya bloodline. If you are not a descendant of the Hanya bloodline, you cannot enter the rankings. If you are not a descendant of the Hansworth bloodline, you cannot enter the rankings!
“If a Qilin son is born, he will definitely shock the entire era!
“And that is only the Qilin son, whereas the one wearing the cloud treading Qilin robe is the Qilin Lord!
“The third generation Qilin Lord was the First Emperor. He was a man of great talent and great strategy. He swept across six directions and unified the six countries. He established great achievements and created the foundation of a great unification!
“His achievements are recorded in history!
“That year, he reopened the Qilin ranking and used the entire country’s strength to search for the Qilin son. He exhausted a thousand years of national fate, but in the end, he found nothing!”
Barrett revealed a secret.
The Qilin ranking could not be opened.
If it was opened, it would certainly consume thousands of years of national fortune.
Even someone as stunning as the First Emperor had failed. From then on, the Qilin ranking seemed to have become a taboo. No one dared to talk about opening the Qilin ranking.
From then on, the Qilin ranking never appeared again.
Braydon listened quietly and did not ask any more questions.
Who was the first Qilin Lord?
There was no need to ask!
Because Braydon already had a guess. It would be useless to ask.
Barrett might not even know who it was..
