'Xiao Yulong's words made Xiao Lie's entire body tremble
his eyes contracted rapidly
he stood there.'
'Seeing Xiao Yulong's evil smile
how could Xiao Lie not know that his words in front of the grave of his son Xiao Ying had been heard all by Xiao Yulong!'
'What Xiao Yulong said caused the crowd to immediately make a fuss. Everyone's mouth opened as they directed their eyes at Xiao Lie and they saw Xiao Lie's reaction was not as usual
the astonishment in their hearts grew. Presently
the voice of the conversation started to sound more crowded.'
'Xiao Che was completely silenced; when he saw Xiao Lie's reaction
he's stuck in his place. Xiao Lingxi's expression looked foolish and she stared blankly at Xiao Lie.'
'"Yulong! What does this mean?" Xiao Yunhai frowned as he asked.'
'Xiao Yulong turned around and replied respectfully: "A few days ago when I went to the graveyard behind the mountain to make a pilgrimage
I accidentally met the fifth elder. That moment
he stood in front of his son's grave and muttered something to himself, but I heard him clearly.
he said.that Xiao Che is not the biological son of Xiao Ying!"'
'From Xiao Yulong's words and Xiao Lie's reaction
the crowd could guess the truth of this
but when spoken directly by Xiao Yulong
it sounded like a lightning strike. Everyone in the Xiao Clan was shocked. Those who were close friends with Xiao Lie widened their eyes with faces full of disbelief.'
'"This.." Xiao Yunhai's face was also very shocked. He said seriously: "Yulong! The issue of our bloodline is the main thing
you mustn't talk carelessly!!"'
'Xiao Yulong steadfastly replied: "Of course
I dare not lie about such a big issue. For truth
father will know after asking the fifth Elder.
I know you've heard clearly what I'm saying
if you are absolutely certain that Xiao Che is your biological grandson
then swear on your son's honor?'
'Everyone's gaze focused on Xiao Lie. He stood up stiffly
his expression became bitter and shriveled
he did not say a single word or immediately give an explanation.
Xiao Ying's
the greatest pride in his life
even after he died
Xiao Lie will not swear on the honor of his deceased son
whatever price he has to pay.'
'Xiao Che opened his mouth
but then he didn't say a word. His chest felt empty
it was like there was a heavy emotion that was suffocating rapidly all over his body.'
'"Dad
how can little Che not be your biological grandson.
hurry up and say something
tell them quickly!" Xiao Lingxi shook Xiao Lie's body vigorously while shouting with a terrifying voice.'
'But Xiao Lie did not say a word in a long enough time as if he had turned into a statue. His expression slowly turned older and in the blink of an eye
he's like being ten years older.'
'"Fifth elder
how is this clarity? Are the words Yulong spoke true?" Xiao Yunhai anxiously asked Xiao Lie while frowning his forehead.'
'Xiao Lie slowly raised his head and took a deep breath. Xiao Yulong forced him to swear on behalf of his son Xiao Ying. The thing he had been hiding for sixteen years
he could no longer hide from this moment. He thought he would cover this up all his life
until the day of his death
but he never expected that this would unfold so quickly in the midst of an unimaginable situation and in front of so many people.'
'Xiao Lie would inevitably have to agree. If the opposite
he would swear fearlessly and shut Xiao Yulong's mouth. Everyone in the Xiao Clan was extremely astonished. Even Xia Qingyue was confused as well. Xia Hongyi who was standing among the crowd also looked his face was in shock... Xiao Che is not Xiao Ying's child? How can this happen!!'
'"Grandfather…"'
'As Xiao Che walked in front of Xiao Lie
every step he took felt heavy. When he saw the face that looked aged faster
xiao Che's heart was full of pain. He tried with all his remaining calm and said softly: "Grandfather... is this true?"'
'Xiao Lie lowered his head and looked at Xiao Che. He smiled bitterly and his eyes were wet
a complex expression that Xiao Che had never seen before: "Although you are not my biological grandson
but since childhood
I've always treated you as my own grandson…."'
'If silence signifies his agreement on this
then this sentence was a confirmation that everyone could hear clearly!'
'Klan Xiao immediately became boisterous. Ever since the Xiao Clan stood for hundreds of years
this is the most shocking news they've ever heard.'
'Xiao Che stood expressionlessly
not a word said
he was like a man who lost his soul. Xiao Lingxi was extremely astonished
he shook his head furiously
ran towards Xiao Lie and restlessly shouted: "Dad! What are you saying.The little Che grew up with me since childhood.
he is the biological son of my brother Xiao Ying
how could he not be your own grandson. Daddy must be kidding... Am I right!?"'
'A hand pulled Xiao Lingxi's hand. At this moment Xiao Che's expression returned to normal. He looked at Xiao Lingxi and shook his head meekly and smiled slightly: "Okey
little aunt. Grandpa will always be my grandfather and you will always be my little aunt. We will always be family
it doesn't matter whether you have a blood relationship or not
my feelings will never change.
doesn't it matter anymore if I'm not a biological grandchild?"'
'"Little Che.." Xiao Lingxi's eyes suddenly became blurred.'
'But on the other side
some crazy dogs suddenly discovered Xiao Che's great weakness and soon would bark wildly.'
'"What crazy! Crazy one! The young man that our Xiao Clan raised for sixteen years was not part of our Xiao Clan and was actually a bastard who carried an outer bloodline… This was truly a huge joke throughout the history of the Xiao Clan!" The first elder Xiao Li shouted with a face full of anger.'
'"Xiao Lie! You actually brought a bastard into the Xiao Clan and let the Xiao Clan raise him for sixteen years! What do you want us to.. censure you! Argh!" Third elder Xiao Ze let out a heavy sigh.'
'"You obviously know that he's an illegitimate child but you keep him inside the Xiao Clan and let him enjoy the privilege of being the grandson of an Elder! Xiao Lie
you've been lying to the entire Clan for sixteen years. If Yulong accidentally found out about this
maybe we'll be victims of fraud forever. All the time
the descendants of the Xiao Clan will be mixed with the blood of outsiders! Xiao Lie
do you know how great your sin is!" Fourth elder Xiao Cheng pointed at Xiao Lie
his face turned red with anger.'
'Second elder Xiao Ba chided loudly: "It is no wonder that every descendant of the Xiao Clan has above average talent
but suddenly appeared trash with a broken pulse! So the trash that the Xiao Clan raised for sixteen years turned out to be an illegitimate child! If this is spread out
'Not just four elders
even the elders and servants of the four Elders all stood up
mercilessly criticizing Xiao Lie. In an instant
Xiao Lie was subjected to many attacks of anger.'
'"Fifth elder
this... this.. Argh!" Xiao Yunhai's face changed color a few times then he took a deep breath a moment.'
'"Hehe
you guys really made me a witness to a comedy show. The Xiao Clan that had been painstakingly built up to this point
unexpectedly mixed with a bastard who came from nowhere! Even I feel so embarrassed by this incident!!" When Xiao Kuangyun opened his mouth
as usual, his voice was not pleasant. He looked at Xiao Che and excitedly said: "Today is the general meeting of the Xiao Clan
other than the people of the Xiao Clan and the invitations
outsiders cannot be here! The Xiao Clan Leader
what else are you waiting for
immediately throw this bastard out and since today
he was not allowed to enter even half a step into the Xiao Clan!!"'
'"Ah…. This.." Xiao Yunhai's expression revealed a rather heavy reaction to do just that. Although demikan
after a moment of hesitation
he gritted his teeth
facing Xiao Che and saying: "Xiao Che
The fifth elder already admitted that you are not his grandson
you do not have the blood of the Xiao Clan.The Xiao Clan has needlessly raised you for sixteen years.
you're hiding in the dark
can't trace your tracks
it shows our pettiness.
immediately leave our Xiao Clan. From now on
you have nothing to do with our Xiao Clan and you are not allowed to step inside the Xiao Clan even half a step cannot!"'
'Everyone's gaze refocused on Xiao Che and many people quietly breathed in his heart. Nonetheless
Xiao Che did not have a single speck of plea marks or a sad expression on his face. After hearing Xiao Yunhai's words
he smiled slightly with a sharp allusion sign: "Clan Chief and the Elders need not worry
since I am not part of the Xiao Clan
then I will go.. Even I will leave this time as well!"'
'He stood in front of Xiao Lie
his eyes trembled for a moment and suddenly asked: "Grandfather.
so who are my biological parents?"'
'Xiao Lie knew that he was going to ask this. He closed his eyes and shook his head: "I don't know
Xiao Ying took you from the outside
even he himself doesn't know who your parents really are…"'
'"...…" From the shaking of Xiao Lie and his complicated eyes
Xiao Che knew this was not Xiao Lie's wholehearted answer. He must have known the truth of his birth but before so many people
he can't say it."'
'By sound *plop*
Xiao Che knelt before Xiao Lie and solemnly said: "Grandfather
I am not your biological grandson
for sixteen years this
Grandpa treats me better than your own granddaughter. My grandfather raised me
educated me
protecting me
it brings out countless sweat and blood for me and I have been unable to repay the affection for these sixteen years. I will always be happy to have a Grandpa like you. Although today I learned that I do not have the blood of the Xiao Clan
what does that mean? Grandpa is still my grandfather and I am still your grandson
even if we have no blood relationship
I will always keep this love in my heart! As long as Grandpa doesn't refuse
I will forever be your grandson!"'
'These words caused the heart of every day to tremble. Xiao Lie's eyes began to get wet as he heavily nodded and said 'good' in a hoarse voice
and step forward
sticking out his hand with the intention of raising Xiao Che stood up.'
'But Xiao Che avoided his hand
kowtow to the ground respectfully three times towards Xiao Lie.'
'"Grandfather
little aunt
no matter what happens after I leave
I ask that you take good care of yourself and take care of your health…"'
'When Xiao Che stood up
his forehead is bruised. Nonetheless
the smile on his face remained soft and calm like the autumn breeze. He turned his body and walked towards the gate. She did not want to leave because Grandpa and little aunt were here; she wanted to use her life to protect them.
he still has to go
otherwise Grandpa and little aunt would have been dragged into an unexpected mess. Like or
he was forced to leave.'
'"Little che!!"'
'Xiao Lingxi's crying voice came from behind her and Xiao Che's steps were delayed for a moment but she did not stop. He did not turn around and walked forward towards the gate without hesitation.
there is a lot of anger
vengeance and desire to kill…'
'He is very smart and wise
but he has no power.
he cannot attack
he was unable to protect his Grandpa and little aunt
and he didn't even have the strength to fight. He had no choice but to walk this path…'
'When he was just born again
he wants to gain strength. Strength is something that humans have always pursued from the very beginning. At this moment
compared to that day
his thirst for great power increased by hundreds of times
maybe even a thousand times…'
'He wanted to gain great power to protect his Grandfather and his little aunt
to wash away all insults and make people confess their crimes today. He wanted Xiao Kuangyun to die without a corpse, and even wanted the entire Xiao Clan to pay the entire price!'
'"Please take care of the safety of my Grandpa and little aunt…"'
'While passing Xia Qingyue
Xiao Che said in a voice that only Xia Qingyue could hear.'
'This one human
it is full of mystery and pride
when he said so
his eyes showed a sorrowful plea.
throughout his life
he never asked anyone for anything
because his plea showed me the part of his heart that was hurt. Xia Qingyue's heart trembled violently and in an instant she felt limp.'
