Chapter 46

Itachi's voice caused Xia Hongyi to rise from his seat in astonishment, and when his eyes met Itachi's, he breathed a sigh of relief as he realized that it was the boy who was sent by the sect that his daughter would be joining.

"Sir, it really is you!" Xia Hongyi exclaimed as she greeted Itachi who just nodded.

The other people in the room were also startled but upon noticing the Xia clan master speaking so respectfully to someone, they didn't dare let out a single word fearing that this gentleman might not like it.

"I have come for Xia Qingyue..." Itachi said calmly.

Xia Hongyi's eyes sparkled hearing that Itachi was here to take his daughter. He knew that once his daughter was in the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace then even if the Xiao sect wants to do something with her they couldn't, that's because the Xiao sect is far inferior to the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace.

"That is good news, I will let her know immediately." Xia Hongyi said with a smile on his face as he sent everyone in the meeting room away, at the same time notifying a maid to call Xia Qingyue.

Itachi didn't have to wait long, that was because after the maid left to call Xia Qingyue it didn't take more than a minute for the girl to appear in front of him.

Xia Hongyi found it strange the speed in which his daughter appeared in the meeting room, he knew that this was not her normal, but after some thought he thought it was normal, after all, she would be joining an extremely powerful sect, so it is normal to be excited.

Poor Xia Hongyi, little did he know that the reason his daughter came so quickly was not because she was excited about going to the sect, but to see Itachi.

"You came..." She said in a weak tone, her beautiful pair of eyes staring at Itachi.

Nodding his head Itachi said, "Today you will officially join the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, so it's good to say goodbye to your family, as it may be years before you can return to see them."

After saying those words, Itachi leaned back in the corner of the meeting room as he closed his eyes to wait for Xia Qingyue to say goodbye.

The goodbye didn't seem to be very long, that was because Xia Qingyue only had her father and brother as family members, she tried to call her younger brother so that she could say a few words to him, but even after looking for him, he didn't seem to be home, causing her to sigh.

"I can wait..." Itachi said.

He didn't want to take Xia Qingyue to the sect before she could say goodbye to her younger brother, he felt that doing that could lead to trouble in the future, besides, he could instantly take her to the sect, so it won't hurt to wait a little longer.

Before Xia Qingyue could say anything, the meeting room door was opened again, but this time a big fat boy opened it, his eyes looked a little desperate and his eyes showed that something bad had happened.

"Sister! Sister! Please, you need to ask your mistress to help Xiao Che, he is in trouble! Xiao Kuangyun seems to have lusted after Xiao Che's aunt, and since he couldn't bear it, he is about to fight with Xiao Kuangyun!" Xia Yuanba exclaimed in despair.

His eyes that were focused on his sister suddenly turned to see the person standing next to her, and upon realizing that it was an unknown man his eyebrow frowned.

"Who is he?!" Xia Yuanba exclaimed as she pointed at Itachi.

Xia Hongyi realizing that her son might cause some trouble stepped forward and introduced Itachi.

"He is the person in charge of taking your sister to the sect."

Hearing his father say those words, Xia Yuanba looked relieved, he did not want his sister to marry anyone other than his sworn brother, Xiao Che.

Realizing that he was forgetting his sworn brother, Xia Yuanba started begging again, he even ran towards Itachi as he knelt down asking him to help his brother.

"Sir! Please! Save my brother, you are here to take my sister, right? Then you must be very strong!" Xia Yuanba exclaimed.

Looking at Xia Yuanba, Itachi recalled some past memories from when he was still a shinobi. He realized that even in that world it was difficult to have people begging like that to save the other.

"All right..." He said.

With his cultivation level there is likely no one in this Empire who could be a threat and him, so it wouldn't do any harm to do a good deed. Besides, saving Xiao Che would be compensation for stealing the pendant from him.

Xia Yuanba looked relieved that Itachi had agreed to save Xiao Che, he didn't know how strong Itachi was, but seeing that his father respected him a lot, he definitely wouldn't be weak.

Xia Qingyue shook her head slightly, she didn't want to get involved with Xiao Che anymore, but seeing that Itachi was moved by her brother's actions, she couldn't say a word, and just followed him, she was also curious to see how strong Itachi was.

Quickly the trio arrived at the Xiao clan, and everyone could see the commotion that was in place, this was because there were dozens of people gathered in a Xiao clan training area, and they all seemed excited for what was about to happen.

"Young Master Xiao Kuangyun is going to kill this boy in just three moves!"

"Three moves? In just one this fight will be over!"

"Hmph! Well done to this trash, who gave him the courage to go against Young Master Xiao Kuangyun!"

The spectators commented excitedly.

Itachi who saw this scene shook his head, these people who seemed to belong to the Xiao clan were really rooting against one of their own blood. His eyes soon turned to the two people standing in the center of the training area, and there he spotted Xiao Che and Xiao Kuangyun.

"He has no chance of winning, so why is he fighting?" Xia Qingyue commented beside Itachi.

Her voice didn't seem to have been heard by any of the people around, she realized that this must be some ability that Itachi was using.

Itachi didn't answer her question and just quietly watched the two people in the center of the training area, Xiao Yuanba who was next to him ran closer to the arena.
