"That sounds like a good thing! How could it be a curse?"
Song Mingyue asked curiously.
"If it were only that, of course it would be a rare blessing!" Shangguan Yutong sighed before continuing, "The problem is, none of the chosen have ever lived past thirty."
"Ah! How... how could that be?" Song Mingyue was stunned.
"Heh, I'm not sure myself. In any case, according to my clan's records, not a single disciple who received the inheritance has ever escaped this curse. There have been over a dozen of them, and they all met the same fate. It doesn't matter how they died—in the end, none of them lived past thirty!"
"Then, Sister Yutong, you... you're one of the chosen disciples who receives the inheritance?" Song Mingyue asked with a look of confusion. 'According to what you said, the chosen disciples are supposed to become incredibly powerful. So why haven't you even reached the level of a Demon Sword Master yet?'
