C290 A Famous Treasure
At the same time, Ma Yuxiao said in a panic, "Luckily, you are a knowledgeable man. Otherwise, people would think that I took a small toy to fool you. Since Young Master said so, I will take care of it on behalf of Young Master. We will return it to Young Master when we part ways. "
Looh Miaoer suddenly smiled and said, "Little sister, since you have accepted such a precious gift from Young Master, how can I allow you to leave? I think you will take care of the treasured saber for Young Master for the rest of his life!"
Ma Yuxiao spat, "What are you talking about? I have always said that I am making fun of you. If you say that, do you feel unjust in your heart? Why don't you take care of this treasured saber for Young Master?"
When Wen Wenya saw Ma Yuxiao replying Looh Miaoer with such a smile, a strange feeling suddenly emerged in her heart. Just as she was about to ask the doubt in her heart, she suddenly heard Du Qi call out with some excitement, "Oh right, Miaoer, quickly let me take a look at that bow and arrow of yours!"
Looh Miaoer was also slightly startled like Wen Wenya just now and asked, "Why is young master suddenly in high spirits and wants to see the weapon that he usually does not like?" Even though she said so, Looh Miaoer did not hesitate to unpack her backpack. She took out the divine small bow and short arrow and gave it to Du Qi.
Du Qi held the small bow and arrow that Looh Miaoer sent in his hand and just took a look. He already knew that this bow and arrow, along with Ma Yuxiao's blade, Wen Wenya's zither, and the cauldron of the Maple Forest Mountain Manor's Chiang family were the family heirlooms of the twelve families. But he did not know why the Zhang Family bow was in Looh Miaoer's hands, so he asked, "Miaoer, do you know the origin of this bow and arrow?"
Looh Miaoer said, "This was a toy that my grandmother gave me when she was alive. Who knew that when I tried to shoot the first arrow, I found that it was shockingly powerful. So I specially brought it along on this long journey in case of emergencies. Could it be that Young Master knows about its origin? "
Du Qi did not directly answer Looh Miaoer's question, but instead asked the three of them, "Do you know the legends of the twelve families?"
Ma Yuxiao and Wen Wenya were at a loss regarding Du Qi's question. Looh Miaoer on the other hand said with some surprise," The young master also knows about the twelve families? "
Du Qi said, "I only heard a little about it and how much does Miaoer know?"
Looh Miaoer said, "What I know is extremely limited. I have only heard about the twelve families. She did not know about the other families. Could it be that my bow and arrows are related to the 12 families? " She then pointed at Ma Yuxiao and Wen Wenya and asked curiously, "Could it be that they are all 12 families?"
Du Qi nodded and said, "Just from Yuxiao and Xiao Ya's surnames and the knife and zither they are holding, they should be twelve families. And Miaoer's bow and arrows are also the treasures of the twelve Zhang family members. That is why I feel that it is a little strange."
Looh Miaoer was a little excited and said, "That's right. My grandmother's family name is Zhang."
Du Qi was puzzled and said, "Why would such a treasure be in your grandmother's hands? Why would she give it to you as a toy?"
Looh Miaoer said, "It is rumored that my grandmother's family has been passed down from generation to generation. My grandmother does not have any brothers or sisters. The family heirloom naturally fell into her hands. As for why she gave such a precious treasure to me as a toy, I don't know."
Du Qi explained, "So that's how it is!"
Ma Yuxiao could not help but shout," What twelve families? Can young master explain it clearly? "
Du Qi said, "The so-called twelve families are actually the names of the descendants of the twelve brothers with different surnames, who were once mighty and powerful in ancient times. However, the descendants of these twelve brothers live in seclusion in different places, and don't interact with each other. Therefore, the twelve families are only a legend in the martial world. Very few people know who they are. Where they lived, they only knew that each family had a magical family treasure. It had always attracted the covetous eyes of those with ulterior motives, but no one had ever succeeded. Yuxiao's blade, Xiao Ya's Qin and Miaoer's bow and arrows should be three of the treasures passed down by the twelve brothers. "
When they heard Du Qi say this, Ma Yuxiao and Wen Wenya were both stunned. They did not expect that their background was so ancient and their ancestors were so famous. The thing in their hands was a treasure that everyone in the legends wanted. Looh Miaoer was also a little excited. But she was still somewhat worried as she said, "Young Master, are you sure that the things in our hands are the heirlooms of the twelve families?"
Of the twelve ancient treasures, Du Qi already knew five of them and had seen four of them. He did not expect that he would accidentally discover three items belonging to the twelve families today, and each of them was held by a beautiful young girl. These three young girls seemed to be willing to follow him, and they were all willing to follow him. ... Du Qi didn't know how to feel. At the same time, he thought that if there was a beautiful girl in Maple Forest Mountain Manor who was similar in age to him... Would she also follow him with treasures? What about the situation of the Tan Family's four heroes and other famous families whom he had met once before?
Thinking of the descendants of these twelve families hiding their names and identities, it was extremely well hidden. There had never been anything out of the ordinary, but now, all of them had appeared. More or less, all of them were related to him. Du Qi's heart tightened for no reason. If the treasures of the twelve families were all gathered around him, would it be a blessing or a disaster? What did that mean?
He immediately thought about it and realized that it might be a coincidence. After all, he had only seen four of the twelve treasures, and only three of the descendants of the twelve clans were by his side. Even if there were a few more descendants of the twelve families by his side, it did not mean anything. Even if there was only one treasure that had yet to appear, it could not be said that all the treasures of the twelve families were related to him. It seemed like he had indeed overthought it.
Indeed, the twelve families had lived in seclusion for thousands of years and did not interact with each other. It was not easy to find one of them, and it was even more difficult to find twelve families. It was impossible to make all of them stay by his side and willingly let him take their family heirlooms. Thinking of this, Du Qi could not help but cast aside all thoughts and try his best to calm his mind. He said with certainty, "Although I don't have a reason, I am sure that the things in your hands are all treasures that the ancestors of the twelve families made a name for themselves with!"
Hearing Du Qi's words, Ma Yuxiao said in disbelief, "I always thought that the treasure passed down in my family was because of its craftsmanship, rare materials, and commemorative meaning, but hearing what young master said, it seems to really be a weapon, but I can't tell what's so special about it. If it is a weapon, how should it be used? "
Looh Miaoer knew the magic of her bow and arrow, so she firmly believed Du Qi's words. With a thought, she could not help but say in a leisurely manner, "What kind of scene would it be if these twelve treasures were gathered together? How would it feel if a person had these twelve treasures?"
