Spiritual Origins" and "Dragon and Tiger Invulnerable Body

Xiao Yi raised his eyes and glanced at the pitifully looking Biyuan beside Lady Lao.As for whether there were maids waiting on him, Xiao Yi didn't really care. It's not like he couldn't live without someone attending to him. Moreover, Biyuan had been with him for five or six years, so Xiao Yi needed to consider her feelings."Thank you for your kind offer, Auntie, but I've been with Biyuan all these years, and I'm used to it. There's no need to arrange for someone else."Upon hearing this, Biyuan's eyes brightened with happiness as she gazed at Xiao Yi with affection.In the hall, the few maidservants looked a bit disappointed. After all, Xiao Yi was the heir to the Marquisate, and his handsome appearance made them eager to serve him.Lady Lao observed Biyuan for a moment. She had noticed her earlier but hadn't paid much attention. Now, after Xiao Yi's words, she took a closer look at the girl.Biyuan was indeed a beautiful and obedient girl. Her eyes were bright, her skin like white jade, and her figure well-proportioned. In a couple of years, she would be a rare beauty, not inferior to Xiao Yiyu's sister. No wonder Xiao Yi liked her.Having heard Xiao Yi's response, Lady Lao agreed without pressing further.Returning to the courtyard he hadn't seen for many years, Xiao Yi himself didn't mind much. However, Biyuan curiously looked around, wanting to see the place where Xiao Yi had spent his childhood.Although it was called a courtyard, it was actually quite spacious, given that Xiao's family was a Marquisate, and Xiao Yi was the heir. His living quarters were naturally not humble.In fact, the courtyard was even larger than the houses of most affluent families, boasting over ten rooms. The place was clean and well-maintained, and not much had changed over the past ten years, except for a spiritual tree in the courtyard."Sir, what kind of tree is this? I've never seen one like it," Biyuan asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.Xiao Yi approached the tree, reached out to touch it, and the rustling of the leaves seemed to welcome him back after ten years of absence."When I was young, I brought a seed back. It looked extraordinary, so I planted it in the courtyard. However, after all these years, nothing unusual has happened to it. It's probably just an ordinary ancient tree."The spiritual tree was less than six feet tall but had lush branches and leaves, covering an area of about twenty meters in diameter with its dense canopy.Hearing that Xiao Yi had planted it himself, Biyuan's eyes brightened, and she felt a deep fondness for the tree.After a while, Lady Lao and a few maidservants arrived, bringing new bedding for Xiao Yi. Biyuan followed them to help tidy up the room. After all, the courtyard was quite spacious, and Biyuan alone couldn't manage all the work.Once the room was ready, Xiao Yi watched everyone bustling about, and his gaze returned to the spiritual tree.He couldn't be sure, but he felt that the tree had changed somewhat since he returned.Despite his Yang Shen True God status, he couldn't discern anything unusual about it. It was just a feeling of increased closeness that he couldn't explain.Considering the size of Taian City, Xiao Yi's godly senses could cover most of it. However, he dared not casually scan the depths of the Imperial Palace. Even though he believed that there were Immortals in Great Zhou, he had never encountered them and didn't want to take any risks.With a passing thought, Xiao Yi knew that Iron Peak hadn't noticed his wandering thoughts.Since he couldn't determine anything, Xiao Yi didn't dwell on it. The tree was just a tree after all, and it couldn't fly away, could it?Without attracting any attention, he withdrew his gaze and stood with his hands behind his back, saying calmly, "I've heard that my father has been idle all these years. Go investigate what he's been up to and what happened during the years he disappeared. It's time to reveal the truth behind the once-renowned figure in Great Zhou who has become a laughingstock."Iron Peak nodded and then mentioned something else, "Before we entered the manor, a few pairs of eyes were on us. Your father was watching too."Xiao Yi gave a faint "Hmm." He had noticed as well. Although they were at quite a distance, he had even turned around to take a look.While Xiao Yi was reborn into this world, his infant body couldn't support his divine soul's power, so he was unaware of the events that had happened around him. By the time he gained consciousness, he was already in the Marquisate's residence and hadn't even met his birth mother.But as a True God of the Yang Shen realm, Xiao Yi could sense that his bloodline was far from ordinary.
