42 I have to become strong..

He Mei Ya controlled her emotions and looked at Ah Ming. Feeling her gaze Ah Ming scrunched his neck, but immediately looked up again.

Seeing his actions, He Mei Ya laughed " Don't worry.. It will take some time for you to adjust."

Ah Ming let out a small smile and nodded.

" Good, remember not to kneel before anyone except your parents and those who deserve respect."

Ah Ming looked at her silently. He Mei Ya continued..

"Also, Since you are following me, I will trust you completely. Do not betray me. I will not ask you to do anything that may bring shame to you."

" If you betray me in the slightest, I promise you a life better than death. So, decide now if you want to follow me or not." He Mei Ya spoke this sentence coldly.

Ah Ming involuntarily shivered on hearing her cold tone. Whoever said that his master is weak should be beaten!

" Yes, master"

Ah Ming gave her a respectful bow without kneeling acknowledging her as master.

" This is more like it " He Mei Ya nodded happily and turned to her grandfather " Grand pops, thank you ah!"

"Alright, what are your plans?"

" I want to become stronger. I want to cultivate for two weeks. Grand pops, only through strength I can achieve anything." He Mei Ya spoke resolutely.

" Alright, do as you wish. Little Ya follow me. I need to say something. Ah Ming, follow us."

He Jiao and He Mei Ya walked together with Ah Ming following them.

" Little Ya, there will be clan meeting in the next month. All the kids of He family regardless of main or branch family will be tested with the golden lotus for attributes and a spirit stone to strength of their dou qi or magic. A next clan leader will be selected among you."

" You are having blood lotus imprint and you are a dual cultivator. Your mother is from Luna race. So, your only obstacle is bloodline purity.I think you have chances to become next clan leader."

' A dual-cultivator' Ah Ming is surprised and sub-consciously looked at He Mei Ya.

" Of all the branch family kids, He Xing is a capable one.." He Jiao spoke seriously.

" He Xing? To which branch family does he belong?"

" My second brother's bloodline. His grand son and he is your cousin."

" Oh.. I've never seen him." He Mei Ya did not have any memories of him.

He Jian nodded " Sometimes, challenges will be issued if they want to fight with someone. So, be prepared for everything." He Jiao advised her seriously.

" What about my brother? He will not be attending the meeting, right?" He Mei Ya stated.

" Yes, he already told that he has no interest in becoming next clan leader. If you become clan leader, he said that he will support you. If it is someone else, he said that he will not care." He Jiao scoffed.

He Mei Ya imagined her brother's expression and laughed.. He must have made this old man mad with rage..

" Anyways, it does not matter if it is me or him.. we always worked together.." He Mei Ya smiled.

He Jiao felt envious on seeing their relationship. 'These brats have a rather strong relation..'he sighed in his heart.

" I really hope that you will be the next clan leader."

" I understand grandfather" He Mei Ya nodded " I will practise and cultivate well for the following month. Do not disturb me for the next month. I will prepare my meals whenever necessary. "

He Jiao saw her seriousness and smiled " Do your best."

'I have to grow strong.. In this world of power, one must always improve their strength to protect themselves and their family..' He Mei Ya is determined to work like an ox.

" Ah Ming, I want you to help me with my training."

" Yes, master" Ah Ming nodded almost immediately.
