Chapter 620 - 229: She Alarmed the Curator, but He Was Busy with a Cooking Livestream

Who could have imagined, after seeing Marshal Lin’s Starlight Sword yesterday, today he would again see the legendary National Guardian Dagger!

This National Guardian Dagger was bestowed upon Marshal Lin by the Divine Hidden Emperor when she triumphantly returned with the Lin Family Army, having successfully secured the copyright ownership of the Central Yu Continent. It was presented to her in front of the entire nation when she was appointed as the National Marshal.

Unfortunately, after Marshal Lin and her entire Lin Family Army perished in the Kunze Mountain Range Infected Zone, both the National Guardian Dagger and the Starlight Sword mysteriously disappeared.

It is said that the Divine Hidden Emperor searched the Infected Zone back then but could not find any belongings of Marshal Lin.

Ming Feng waved at the guards surrounding Dongfang Yi, "You all retreat."

The guards retreated upon hearing the instruction.

Ming Feng beckoned to Dongfang Yi, "Come closer, I need to take a closer look."

Dongfang Yi raised the dagger over his head and obediently walked towards Ming Feng.

Seeing his trembling calves in fear, Ming Feng shook his head with a chuckle, "Why are you so afraid of me?"

Dongfang Yi replied frankly, "They say there’s a Dead Servant Team hidden around you. I... I’m scared."

"Hahaha!" Ming Feng laughed in amusement. "You’re an interesting kid. What’s your name?"

"Dongfang Yi."

"Dongfang Yi..." Ming Feng mused for a moment before saying, "Is it the Eastern Ancient Martial Family, which has been quite renowned since the Xia Country Era?"

During the Xia Country Era, there were four great Ancient Martial Families.

They were the Fifth Family, Cang Clan, Dongfang Family, and the Divine Hidden Clan.

The Divine Hidden Clan, as the Divine Xia Royal Family, did not participate in the Ancient Martial Family disputes. Therefore, the Fifth Family became the leader of the Ancient Martial Families, followed by Cang Clan, with the Dongfang Family ranking last.

But this does not mean the Dongfang Family lacked power; they just weren’t as dazzling as the Fifth Family and Cang Clan.

In the ancient era without superpower users, these families were the most powerful in terms of both authority and martial power in the Ancient Xia Country.

Over two thousand years of shifting eras, the Fifth Family and Cang Clan have long perished, and all the Divine Hidden Clan members have followed the Divine Hidden Emperor into the Infected Zone, reportedly wiped out as well.

Now, surprisingly, only the Dongfang Family remains living.

However, in this world that respects superpower users, Ancient Martial Families have had to step aside.

In the current Dongfang Family, not many people continue to practice Ancient Martial Arts. As far as he knows, their family’s strongest in ancient martial ability was sent to the Central Yu Alliance for business.

If it were during the Xia Country Era, this person could certainly become a dominating force.

Surprised that Ming Feng still remembers the Dongfang Family, Dongfang Yi felt flattered and quickly explained, "My family is indeed that Dongfang Family. However, we’ve long since scattered across the world."

Scratching his head, Dongfang Yi blushed and whispered, "It’s quite embarrassing; our family of four has been sent to Golden Gate City of the Central Yu Alliance, and we’re doing business there. This time, we came back to Emperor City only because it’s spring break."

Nowadays, only those who have awakened superpowers, the superpower users, are qualified to stay in the main family base in Emperor City.

People like Dongfang Yi, who haven’t awakened superpowers and are still practicing ancient martial arts, have all been sent away.

After hearing this, Ming Feng showed a hint of surprise in his aged eyes and suddenly asked, "Is your sister named Dongfang Qing?"

Dongfang Yi was taken aback, "You know my sister?"

Ming Feng gave a sly smile and just said, "My grandson once classed with her."

Unfamiliar with his sister’s social circles, since she was a girl, Dongfang Yi just assumed Ming Feng’s grandson was a girl as well.

"Curator," Dongfang Yi moved his aching arm, reminding him, "Do you want to look at this dagger?"

"Of course." Ming Feng reached out to take the dagger from Dongfang Yi’s hand, and at the first moment of receiving it, he gently frowned.

Noticing Ming Feng’s reaction, Dongfang Yi became slightly uneasy.

Could it be that Xu Xingguang deceived him?

Could this thing be a fake?

"That’s so strange." Ming Feng expressed with surprise and doubt, "Two thousand years have passed, yet this dagger still looks very new, that’s unusual."

He attempted to remove the dagger’s scabbard, and there engraved on the dagger were the four words for National Guardian Dagger.

And those four words for National Guardian Dagger turned out to be in the handwriting of the Divine Hidden Emperor.

Staring at the inscription, Ming Feng mused again, "I’ve never heard that the National Guardian Dagger had the Divine Hidden Emperor’s inscription."

"This artifact..." Ming Feng thought for a moment, then turned to Dongfang Yi and said, "I need to convene an expert team meeting on Divine Hidden Dynasty historical research to carefully authenticate the truth of this artifact. Why don’t you go downstairs and have a look around, and I’ll give you a call later."
