Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

1818 Politics

Vespera and Vespa. The two were a pair of Moon Fey, carrying a head of white-silver and delicate blue eyes.

Vespera, the woman between them, had a delicate and almost graceful beauty that inched closer toward cute and adorable than it did gorgeous and sexy. She had an innocence about her that belied the cool air she gave off. Her cheeks were slightly puffy and rosy, and she wasn't very tall at all, standing at maybe 5'5" or so. Her figure was slender and petite, and her hands were small and well-manicured. No matter how you looked at her, it felt much more like one was looking at a young and spry teenage girl still years from maturity rather than a grown woman.

Vespa, the brother between them, looked far older and more stern than his twin sister, despite the fact he was technically the younger of the two by several minutes. His hair was just as long, and his features were chiseled and forceful. Every movement embodied the frostiness of his aura, and it felt as though he wouldn't be satisfied until he turned the whole world into a tundra.

At that moment, both siblings were meditating in silence as they tended to do, their backs facing one another.

This wasn't just because they were very close with one another—though, this was certainly true. It was also because their cultivation and comprehension were more than doubled when in the presence of one another. As such, their closeness was only an added benefit to the two of them.

Ryu had met a pair of siblings with similar Bone Structures in the past. The trouble was that Granny Miriam had to die in order for her sister to finally access the strength of their combined Bone Structure…

At least he had thought so.

But it seemed that these pair of twins had the sBone Structure… or at least an evolved and mutated version of it.

In reality, it truly was the exact sBone Structure, the Causality Bone Structure. The difference was that, unlike Granny Miriam and her sister, these two were true twins, while Granny Miriam had been born years separated from her sister.

It could be said that much like how Ryu's Chaotic Silk Meridians needed special circumstances to awaken their true strength, it was the sfor these causally bound Bone Structures.

As such, it was rare for these pair of twins to do anything without the other. Although individually, they weren't known to be among the true geniuses, when they were together, they felt that they had a right to at least fight for a spot.

It was in the middle of this cultivation session that Vespa suddenly opened his eyes, frowning.

He and his sister had set strict rules about being interrupted while they were in meditation. Very few would dare to break those rules under normal circumstances, and those that did usually had a very good reason for doing so on top of that.

However, when he saw that it wasn't a person but a message, his expression changed.

When he saw who the message was from and what it said, his expression only flickered further, going from apprehension to gloom, to a hint of fear, up to anger.

Vespera noticed her brother's changes and couldn't help but awaken as well.

"What's the problem?"

"… Ancestor has contacted us."

Vespera becsolemn as well when she heard this.

Ancestor could only refer to one person, the Dao God of the Luminara Clan. With their status, they didn't dare to casually call out such a name, so this was the only thing that they could say.

However, it was enough.

"What happened? Are we in trouble?" Vespera's voice was soft and delicate, and she seemed to already be on the verge of crying.

Vespa forced a smile, something that looked quite off with his usually cold exterior. Turning around, he patted his older sister's head to comfort her.

"No, not really."

Vespera sighed a breath of relief, maybe being a bit too gullible. But she also had the right. After all, they had a firm hold on this world and had been moving according to the unspoken commands of their Clan. They had always gone above and beyond, so what could they have possibly done that would warrant them getting into trouble?

"Ancestor said that we need to go and deal with the Ryu character."

"Ryu?" Vespera blinked, not recalling immediately. It was clear that these two had completely disregarded this matter, tossing the issue down to the weaklings to deal with. They hadn't believed that Ryu would dare to stir up much nonsense.

What they didn't expect was to receive such a report.

Vespa slowly explained everything that was going on.

"Oh…" Vespera said after a while, her large blue eyes blinking. "Then we should just go kill him, right?"

Vespa sighed. He wasn't really sure if it would be that easy. It was clear that they had underestimated this man. If the truth about the carnage he had unleashed alone was real, then it was unlikely that they'd be able to casually do anything, and their Ancestor certainly knew this.

In fact, if Vespa was correct, then even before sending Ryu in here, these Dao Gods had known he had this kind of power. They just didn't expect that he would be so rebellious even in the face of their orders.

The problem was that Ryu technically wasn't breaking any of their rules. They expected him to read between the lines and understand their intentions to force him to lower his head.

Ironically, it was precisely because no one had commanded Ryu so clearly that he actually had plausible deniability in this matter.

If Ryu actually went as far as to succeed in clearing his Holy World alone, and then he complained about the suppression of the Luminara Clan, in the end, it might actually be them who got in trouble.

This was politics.
