6 Lending Yun Che a Hand

"I'm just a passing-through Handsome Traveler. Remember that!" Duo Tian spoke as his face smirking like a devil.

Xiao Kuangyun looks at this traveler, his face is as dark as charcoal "How dare you to put a shame on me!? You think this Young Master will not slap you down from the top of that mansion?"

"Excuse me? But who are you exactly?" Xiao Lie asks.

Duo Tian stands up and jumps from the top of the mansion to the side of Xiao Che "Don't worry Grandpa, this lad would not bring harm to Brother Che and Little Aunt."

Xiao Che jaw dropped, "Who is this man, why is he call Xiao Lingxi little aunt, and why did he call me his brother?" Asking himself inwardly.

Duo Tian then points his finger to Xiao Kuangyun "You think because you are the Young Master from a puny small sect, you can framing and plotting my Brother Che and his Little Aunt behind my back?"

The look on everyone's face secretly changed….

However, there were no traces of any change on Xiao Lie's face. He didn't know who is this lad. But Instead, he became even more ashen as both his hands quietly trembled together.

He knew from the start that it was an act to shift the blame onto someone else. Except that Xiao Lingxi ended up with the position of the scapegoat…. As he noticed the way Xiao Kuangyun's gaze changed when his eyes turned in Xiao Lingxi's direction, he went in a fit of rage. However, he could not open his mouth to speak, and could not possibly try to speak. This time, Xiao Che's few sentences exposed their ugly and vicious intentions in front of all the people that were currently present.

"This is truly outrageous, to question even the honorable guests from the Xiao Sect. Clan Master and Young Master Xiao had repeatedly exhibited their accommodating patience but unexpectedly, if you give him an inch, he'd want a mile; this is simply intolerable…. Young Master Xiao, Clan Master, this old one pleads for the rapid arrest of the thief Xiao Lingxi and this nonsense clown who keep babbler." Second Elder Xiao Bo shouted in anger.

Xiao Kuangyun became more and more enraged as he directed his killing intent at the nobody that paid no heed to his importance. He spoke in a deep voice: "I, from the dignified Xiao Sect, have no obligation to play with somebody like you. Furthermore, I have no obligation to explain a matter belonging to my Xiao Sect! Which Elder in Xiao Clan is in charge of law enforcement? Immediately arrest this thief and the piece of trash that tried to slander me!

"We solemnly obey Young Master Xiao's order!!" Roared Fourth Elder Xiao Cheng, the chief of law enforcement within the Xiao Clan who saw his opportunity to make an appearance. He suddenly turned his head, his eyes revealing an ominous glint as they laid upon the victim Xiao Lingxi, and shouted in a loud voice yet again: "Xiao Lingxi, and You, Unknown brat! You two have already committed a serious crime, come with me at once to the law enforcement hall to await your punishment!!"

The situation had made a sudden change. It was obvious that they didn't want to dawdle any longer, yet the opposite party acted without a care for their pride and immediately made a direct approach. Xiao Che actually became alarmed as he retreated backward, and whispered to Xia Qingyue: "Hey! Qingyue my wife, where's your master, go help that man!!"

"Don't know" Xia Qingyue flatly replied.

In the end, Xia Qingyue only offered him "don't know". This woman...

Xiao Cheng's profound strength was one of the top five within the Xiao Clan, so it was fundamentally impossible that for unknown man and Xia Lingxi had the ability to resist him. But now, a tall shadow appeared all of a sudden, in a flash, and stood in front of Xiao Che and Xiao Lingxi. With an entire body surging with profound strength, Xiao Lie had abruptly come forward….

A vibration sounded as a sandstorm brew as far as anyone could see. The Xiao Cheng that had been rapidly dashing towards his target was directly hit as he flew backward. After landing, he staggered backward seven or eight steps until he regained his balance.

Within the Xiao Clan…. It should be said that within the entire Floating Cloud City, the only person who could make him yield in just one strike was the one in the tenth level of the Spirit Profound Realm, Xiao Lie!

"Xiao Lie! What's the meaning of this! Are you going to brazenly shield them?" If it was the past, Xiao Cheng would undoubtedly shrink in the presence of Xiao Lie, but at this moment, he nevertheless shouted with complete confidence.

Xiao Lie's expression became coldly resolute as he spoke in a loud voice: "I, Xiao Lie have always lived a straightforward and upright life! Although not a true gentleman, I have never looked down on a person of lower status! I have never harmed anyone, nor have I deceived anyone! If what I said earlier had even half an untruth, may the heavens and earth punish me, and condemn me to a terrible death!"

Xiao Lie's words were sonorous and struck the hearts of the people. Every individual word was filled to the brim with a profound righteousness and spirit. Xiao Lie was not only the strongest in Floating Cloud City, but his integrity was also well known! It was actually not necessary for him to swear the 'may the heavens and earth punish me, and condemn me to a terrible death" oath for others to believe his words…. But, even though it wasn't necessary for him to say those words, with Xiao Che's previous statement, everyone present had already thoroughly seen the real truth. However, in the midst of Xiao Sect's domineering power, it was fundamentally impossible to change the unfavorable accusation placed upon Xiao Lingxi. Even if Xiao Lie brought out more evidence, it was useless, and would merely cause Xiao Kuangyun to be further enraged out of humiliation.

"HAHAHAHA…."

A burst of disdainful laughter suddenly rang out in the midst of the people belonging to the Xiao Clan. A Xiao Yulong who had not bothered to speak, suddenly stood out and appeared. He turned towards Xiao Lie, laughing as he looked at him: "In this matter, this Xiao Yulong has absolutely no right to speak or intervene, but all of a sudden, when I heard Fifth Elder's grand speech, I truly couldn't hold back anymore…. A person who has fooled the entire Xiao Clan these ten or so years, unexpectedly professed himself to be a 'straightforward and upright person that had never deceived another'! This is simply a joke bigger than the heavens itself!"

Has fooled the entire Xiao Clan these ten or so years… Those few words startled everyone.

As he listened to Xiao Yunlong's words and saw his expression, Xiao Che's brow suddenly sank, and a bad premonition surfaced within his heart.

"Xiao Yulong, what do you mean!" Xiao Lie immediately knitted his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

Xiao Yunhai also spoke with a serious expression on his face: "Yulong! Fifth Elder has always been a person of virtue and prestige. In the presence of our noble guests from the Xiao Sect, in the presence of our Xiao Clan, and in the presence of our friends from Floating Cloud City, you mustn't indiscriminately gossip!"

Xiao Yulong bowed slightly, and said: "I request father to rest assure, your son naturally would not dare to speak so casually in broad daylight." As he looked at Xiao Lie, his eyes narrowed and he laughed faintly: "Fifth Elder, you claim to be a 'straightforward and upright person who had never deceived another', then do you dare to pledge on your son Xiao Ying's lifetime of honor and glory…. that Xiao Che is indeed your blood-related grandson!!"

Xiao Che was completely stumped; when he took note of Xiao Lie's reaction, he was stupefied in place. Xiao Lingxi also had a dull expression, and looked at Xiao Lie blankly.

"Yulong! What is this about?" Xiao Yunhai frowned as he asked solemnly.

Xiao Yulong turned sideways and replied respectfully: "A few days ago when I went to the cemetery at the rear mountain to pay my respects, I coincidentally met Fifth Elder. At that time, he was standing in front of his son, Xiao Ying's grave and was mumbling something to himself… But I heard it very clearly, he was saying… that Xiao Che was in fact, not Xiao Ying's biological son!"

From Xiao Yulong's words just now and Xiao Lie's reaction, the crowd had already faintly guessed the truth, but now that Xiao Yulong had so plainly announced it, it was like hearing a sudden clap of thunder. Everyone in the Xiao Clan were completely astonished. Those who were familiar and friendly with Xiao Lie widened their eyes even more, with faces full of complete disbelief.

"This…" Xiao Yunhai also had a face full of shock. He gravely said at once: "Yulong! This is a major matter that concerns our very bloodlines, you absolutely cannot speak recklessly!!"

Xiao Yulong firmly replied: "Of course I wouldn't dare to lie about such a big matter. As for the truth, won't you know after you ask the Fifth Elder… Fifth Elder, I guess you already heard what I said clearly, if you have a clear conscience, and that Xiao Che is really your biological grandson, then do you dare to swear on the honor of your son?"

Everyone's gaze had all focused upon Xiao Lie. As he stood there stiffly, his expression became more bitter and astringent, he did not utter a single word or give an explanation for quite a while… His son, Xiao Ying, was the greatest pride of his life, and even if he had passed on, he would never swear on the honor of the deceased Xiao Ying, if that was the price.

Xiao Che opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a single word. His chest felt empty as a heavy and stifling emotion quickly swept through his entire body.

"Father, how can little Che not be your biological grandson… Father, quickly say something, quickly tell them!" Xiao Lingxi strongly shook Xiao Lie's body as she shouted in a terrified tone of voice.

Xiao Lie drooped down his head and looked at Xiao Che. He gave a bitter smile and in his clouded eyes, was a complicated expression that Xiao Che was unable to see clearly: "Even though you aren't my biological child, but over these years, I have always treated you as my own grandson…"

If the silence before signified his consent, in that case, this sentence was the confirmation that everyone had now clearly heard!

The Xiao Clan instantly went into an uproar. Being in the Xiao Clan for so many years, this was without a doubt, the most shocking news that any had heard before.

Xiao Che stood there expressionlessly without uttering a single sound for quite a while, as if he had lost his soul. Xiao Lingxi was dumbfounded as well; she shook her head furiously, rushed toward Xiao Lie and agitatedly shouted: "Father! What are you saying… little Che grew up with me from a young age, he's the biological son of my brother Xiao Ying, how could he not be your own grandson… You must be joking… am I right!?"

A hand stretched over and grabbed Xiao Lingxi's hand. At this moment Xiao Che's expression had changed back to normal. He looked at Xiao Lingxi and gently shook his head afterwards, revealing a shallow smile: "It's okay, little aunt. Grandfather will always be my grandfather, and you will always be my little aunt. We will always be the closest of families, so it doesn't matter if we are related by blood or not; our feelings will never change… So is it really that important if I'm not the biological child?"

"Little Che…" Xiao Lingxi eyes instantly became hazy.

"Grandpa, there is no need for you to shield us. Let me make this clear. All of you will be dead if this handsome traveler begs his ancestor to flatten you!" Duo Tian walks up beside Xiao Lie, smiling, "Xiao Yulong! You think because of what you said this handsome traveler would back down!? Even if Brother Che is not Grandpa's biological grandson, this handsome one would still defend them! You know what? Love is thicker than blood and your heart is more poisonous than a viper women, so f*** you and your stupid way of thinking. Enough chat, I will destroy you all, don't you dare to run in front of my ancestor!"

"You moth********, you think this young master will be scared of your so-called ancestor? You are only 1st lv of Nascent Soul Realm, what can your ancestor do to my Xiao Sect!?" Xiao Kuangyun shouted while some veins bulged in his face.

Duo Tian smirked "Well, don't you dare ask for mercy later. O' Great Ancestor, hereby hear your descendant plea. Punish your descendant enemies with your unmatched power. Trample flat everyone who opposed our bloodline, Descent of The Dark Crow!"

In an instant, the sky turned black. The wind suddenly moves like a raging storm. The temperature of the surrounding area plummeted down akin to an icy hell. All of the crows in the radius of 500 li became restless as they flies away randomly. From the dark cloud, appears a silhouette of a man, along with an unmatched immortal prestige.
