Chapter 63 Not by blood

The entire Xiao Clan had been immersed in an extremely different atmosphere ever since they received the letter from the Xiao Sect. Clan masters and elders performed their duties each day with great diligence.

From morning to evening, they prepared to greet them for fear of showing the least bit of neglect. The younger generation, as if on steroids, trained even harder.

They all dreamed of having a breakthrough in these next few days, thereby increasing the chance of being brought back to the Xiao Sect.

However, all of this clearly had nothing to do with Yang Che. He could be counted as the most leisurely person in the entire Xiao Clan. He already had his mysterious master, so he wouldn't have to care about Xiao Sect at all. And that was what everyone believed

.

Today, at the Xiao Clan's rear mountain.

This was the cemetery opened up in the rear mountains by the Xiao Clan. After a member of the Xiao Clan died, it was more than likely that they would be buried here.

Xiao Lie quietly stood in front of a gravestone, his white hair, the result of having been through many changes and sorrows, fluttering freely in the wind. The wind whistled. Everything else was desolate.

On this gravestone, the two words "Xiao Ying" were engraved.

"Ying'er, I know that ever since childhood, you dreamed of fulfilling your ancestor's hopes and returning to the Xiao Sect. To shake off this abandoned blood of ours. Now that this opportunity has finally arrived, it's just—an entire sixteen years too late."

The expression in Xiao Lie's eyes was misty. He stiffly stood there, his mouth uttering an involuntary sort of mutter.

"I know, even though so many years have passed, that you still have many concerns—Che'er's profound veins have been deformed since his childhood. This is also fine. He already had met a mysterious master that helped him, He is very strong now and could protect himself. And Che'er is already married. I hope from now on he can always live strongly. Even though he's not your real child, he is still the one that you two spent your lives and the life of your child protecting. I will also protect him to the best of my ability."

A quiet snapping sound entered Xiao Lie's ear, startling him. He returned to his senses in a flash and turned his head, shouting in a low voice.

"Who?"

Following his shout, Xiao Yulong's figure walked over from behind a thick and solid tree at the center of the courtyard. He looked at Xiao Lie distractedly, walked forward a few steps, and assumed the proper etiquette of a junior.

"Yulong greets the Fifth Elder... I did not think that the Fifth Elder would even be here. Did Yulong disturb the Fifth Elder?"

Xiao Lie's eyes revealed his turmoil. His heart was just then filled with sorrow, and he was despondent for a time. It was unexpected that he didn't discover someone approaching this place. He also didn't know if this Xiao Yulong had heard his monologue just now. He furrowed his brows and asked.

"Yulong, what are you doing here?"

Xiao Yulong promptly responded.

"Xiao Sect's emissaries will arrive tomorrow. Father believes that this is a large event that will change the Xiao Clan's fate, and he believes that he should inform his grandfather. So he had me come. To accidentally disturb the Fifth Elder, Yulong made a mistake."

"Then did you hear what I just said?"

Xiao Lie's voice became cold and stiff all at once. An imposing aura abruptly pushed against Xiao Yulong.

The strength of someone at the peak of the Spirit Profound Realm was greater than what Xiao Yulong could withstand with his current abilities. As his complexion paled, he immediately shook his head.

"Yulong also just arrived. If Fifth Elder hadn't just then spoken, I wouldn't have discovered Fifth Elder. I definitely didn't hear Fifth Elder say anything... If Fifth Elder does not wish to be disturbed, Yulong will immediately leave!"

Xiao Lie couldn't spot any gaps in Xiao Yulong's expression. His thoughts relaxed a bit, and his aura retracted. His expression also eased.

"Forget it; it's nothing. The Xiao Sect emissary will arrive tomorrow. You are the most likely to be selected. When that time comes, you will be reviving our blood's greatest wish."

"Fifth Elder's words are heavy. Yulong doesn't deserve them."

Xiao Yulong humbly said.

Xiao Lie nodded towards him and turned around to leave this place.

After he left, Xiao Yulong's expression gradually changed. He rubbed his chin with his right hand and muttered with a frown.

"Don't tell me. If this is true, this would be really interesting."

Xiao Yulong had woken up and found that he was still in his room. Everything that happen he thought it was just a dream. He didn't go to have a problem with Yang Chen again because he suddenly thought that Xia Qingyue wasn't that beautiful.

But he wouldn't let Yang Chen be happy because he really hate him for some reason.

"My libidos seem to be a little less today. I should drink some herbal tea later."
