13- Family Gu.

The rain poured from above as the curtains of water interweaved, and dark clouds roamed the sky.

Liu Yang was walking beside his sister and their mother was walking in front of them, they were all dressed in white and the clan men were holding the funeral of their father and grandfather in front of them.

The seven-day funeral ceremonies were over and they were finally ready to bury their dead.

Liu Yang looked at his sister who was crying so hard for her father and grandfather's death. The two of them treated her well and she really loved them.

Then he looked at his mother and remembered the event that happened a few days ago.

..... .... ... ..

Liu Yang slowly opened his eyes and looked around, he found himself on the bed and all his injuries fully healed. His sister was lying next to him on the same bed while his mother was sitting on a chair near the bed.

Liu Yin noticed that her brother had woken up so she quickly hugged him tightly, "Big brother, You've been unconscious for four days, you've made us really worried."

Liu Liu approached her children and hugged them too. She was really frightened when she came home and saw how Liu Yang and Liu Yin were covered in blood while the hyena corpse was close to them, at that time she felt desperate because she thought that she had lost everything, her husband, her father, and even her children.

After that she saw that Liu Yin's body had moved so she quickly moved to her and saw that she was fine but the blood that was on her was Liu Yang's. She then examined Liu Yang and saw that he was still alive, so she quickly used Gu worms to treat him.

But Liu Yang did not wake up, then Liu Liu started to ask her daughter what happened, so Liu Yin explained everything in detail.

As Liu Liu hugged her children, she sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry I wasn't there when the hyena attacked you."

"When the hyenas broke through the gate I ordered some groups to kill all the hyenas inside the village but they didn't seem to do their job well." Liu Yang noticed the anger in his mother's voice when she spoke about the groups that didn't carry out her orders well.

he looked at her face and saw fatigue evident on her and there were dark circles under her eyes, "What happened in the village, why do you look so tired?"

Even while stretching the hyena, Liu Yang did not see his mother looking so tired, so he thought that something must have happened that made her more tired mentally than physically.

Liu Liu sighed and then looked at her five-year-old son seriously, she no longer considered him as a child since she heard the details of his hyena fight." The clan suffered heavy losses in this hyena tide, we lost the clan leader and many elders including Liu Wang."

Liu Yang was not shocked by the death of his father and grandfather because he expected the worst, nor was he saddened by their death but had to show an expression of sadness in front of his mother and sister and even shed some tears.

"And even worse, the clan elders started infighting for the position of clan leader. Although we have to unite in order to surmount future crises."

The clan had lost the clan leader and half of its elders, meaning that they had lost the only person of rank four Gu Master and half of the elders of rank three Gu Master.

And the clan would definitely be destroyed in the next hyena tide that would happen after three years because they didn't have enough Gu Masters to resist it.

Also, no one in the clan had the talent to reach rank four Gu Master within the next three years. The person with the most talent was Liu Liu and there was a chance that she could reach rank four Gu Master within the next five years. It meant that it was impossible for them to survive without a rank four Gu Master.

Anyway, the clan elders had now split into two factions, the first faction wanted to go to the Shang Clan and be their followers in order to survive this crisis, and the other faction refused and wanted their clan to be independent.

Each faction wants their new clan leader to be one of them, in order to gain the upper hand over the other faction and do what they plan to do.

"Then which faction do you support?" Liu Yang looked at his mother seriously.

Depending on the choice his mother makes, he will have to change many of his plans, but he hopes that his mother will choose independence and that their clan will not become subordinate to another clan.

"I haven't supported any faction yet." Liu Liu sighed, she really wanted the clan to remain independent but this might cause her clan to be destroyed because it was weak now and she also did not want her clan to be subordinate to another clan. So she is confused now and does not know what to do.

Liu Liu looked at her son for a moment but hesitated to speak while Liu Yin was present, so she looked at her daughter and said with a smile, "Liu Yang must be hungry. Why don't you go and tell the servants to make him some soup?"

"Right, he must be hungry because he hasn't eaten anything for four days." Liu Yin smiled and then hurried out of the room to go to tell the servants to prepare food for Liu Yang.

After Liu Yin left, Liu Liu wanted to speak but she didn't know how to start but she gathered her courage and asked, "Liu Yang, are you from another world?"

Liu Yang's heart nearly jumped when he heard Liu Liu's words but he showed confusion on his face as if he didn't know what his mother was talking about, 'Humans shouldn't know about Otherworldly demons, only immortals should know about it. Unless Fate Gu has already been destroyed and news spreads to the human world.'

Otherworldly demons are humans whose souls do not originate from the Gu world. Their souls are transported from other worlds into the Gu world with their memories from their previous world intact.

Most natives hate otherworldly demons or at the very least don't trust them. There have been many instances over the course of ages of otherworldly demons appearing, but most of them were either killed or captured by the natives.

"You don't need to hide it anymore, I won't do anything to you. In fact, our clan founder is someone from another world." Liu Liu seriously looked at the person in front of her.

She didn't lie, the founder of the Liu clan was the Otherworldly Demon. But this information was not known to even the clan elders, only the clan leader had this information, Liu Liu knew about this information because she was going to become the next clan leader so her father told her about it.

Every Gu master leaves an inheritance before his death, and in the inheritance of the founder of the Liu clan there is information that he is from another world.

"I found out that you are a person from another world when I gave a Gu recipe to Liu Wang to refine a Gu that I hadn't even heard of, and I was more certain that you were a person from another world when I heard from Liu Yin that you could make a formation and kill the Hundred Beast King. No normal child would do that, even if he was a super genius. After thinking about it, it was strange that a child who hadn't used Gu worms before could make killer moves."

Killing moves, Gu recipe, formation and ability to kill Hundred Beast King all made Liu Liu make sure Liu Yang was someone from another world.

'She's so sure, there's no point in hiding it anymore. If I deny it, it will make her never trust me and she may put me on constant watch.' Liu Liu knew Liu Yang was a person from another world because of his actions. If he doesn't tell the truth and keep in denial, the situation will only get worse and Liu Liu will not trust him anymore.

Also, Liu Yang had a high attainment in the wisdom path and had a premonition that if he didn't tell Liu Liu that he was a person from another world, the situation would only get worse. And there is a possibility that she will kill him.

"Yes, I am from another world. So what are you going to do to me now that you know that?" Liu Yang did not say that he was an Otherworldly Demon because apparently she did not know about that term.

"As I said, I will not do anything to you. Actually, I am grateful to you, because you gave Liu Wang and I killer moves so the clan was not destroyed. Also, you risked your life to save Liu Yin without making her hurt."

"Your actions prove that you have no ill intentions towards us, but rather that you consider us a real family. You must have been worried about me and Liu Wang so you gave us the killer move."

"You did all this for us even though you knew it would make you suspicious."

Liu Liu hugged Liu Yang while saying with tears in her eyes, "No matter who you were before, you are part of my family now."

Liu Liu loved her family (son and daughter) before and always cherished them, and after losing her father, she can no longer bear to lose a member of her family. So after thinking for four days, she accepted that Liu Yang was part of her family even if his soul was from another world.

As she hugged Liu Yang, a strange light started to radiate from her body. She didn't notice it but Liu Yang noticed, 'Is a new Gu being refined by her feelings.'

Light started to condense at a certain point of Liu Liu's body and after a while a new Gu worm appeared in her Aperture.

Family Gu!
