3 Arriving Late (1/2)
Bang! Bang! Bang!
”Xiao Tian! Are you in there?”
The door to his room opened just as Xiao Tian slowly opened his eyes to a familiar voice calling for him.
”Good lord! What are you doing?! How can you still be sleeping now?! Did mother not tell you that the Song Clan will be coming over today?” A cute young girl that was slightly taller than Xiao Tian entered the room while exclaiming with a loud voice.
This young girl was his elder sister by one year, Xiao Min.
Xiao Tian turned to look at the window upon hearing Xiao Min's words and sure enough, it was way past early morning.
Although he didn't plan on sleeping this late, there was nothing he could do as last night's cultivation session had really exhausted his energy.
”The Song Clan had already arrived and both mother and father seemed very upset that you were the only one that didn't show up to welcome them! Especially father! He was fuming, you know! If he weren't busy with the Song Clan, he would've been the one here right now instead of me!” Xiao Min continued to speak with a loud voice to wake him up.
Xiao Tian slowly got out of the bed and stretched with an indifferent expression, almost like he couldn't care any less about the situation.
Meanwhile, Xiao Min was searching through his drawers for his clothes.
”Here, wear this and quickly go wash your face!” Xiao Min tossed his clothes on the bed and began taking off Xiao Tian's clothes, acting as though she was his servant or something.
”Calm down, Xiao Min. I am already late. And I can change my own clothes,” he said to her.
”Calm down?! The entire family will have to listen to father scolding you later! And you know how much I hate that!”
Although Xiao Min sounded like she was angry at Xiao Tian, she was just concerned for him as an elder sister. After all, being the second youngest in the household, she felt the need to care for him, who was the youngest.
And her being the only sibling to have appeared before Xiao Tian showed just how much she cared. Meanwhile, the other three siblings were trying to impress the children from the Song Clan, completely ignoring Xiao Tian's absence.
After Xiao Tian changed into the clean robes, Xiao Min pulled him towards the bathroom to get his face washed.
By the time Xiao Tian was ready and fully awake, over fifteen minutes had pa.s.sed.
And while they walked to where the rest of the family are currently, Xiao Min explained to Xiao Tian the situation.
”The Song Clan bought four children with them, one male and three females. Their eldest child is Song Jing, the only male child, who is 23 years old. Next in line is Song Jingyi, 21 years old. Then Song Ning, 18 years old. And finally, their youngest child, Song Yu, who is only two years older than you, 13 years old.”
Xiao Tian barely paid attention to their names, but one thing was for sure — it was almost as if the Song Clan was made for the Xiao Clan, where there are three male children and two female.

”Right now, Mother is trying to pair Elder Sister with their oldest and Eldest Brother with Song Jingyi, because their ages are relatively similar. What about you, Xiao Tian? Will you be going for Song Yu? Although she is older than you, it's only a difference of two years. If you don't go after her, Elder Brother Xiao Chen will take her.”
”Has anybody ever told you that you speak too much?” Xiao Tian shook his head.
”Hmph! Only you dare to speak to me like that in this entire family!” Xiao Min puffed her cheeks while acting angry.
Amongst the five children in the Xiao Clan, Xiao Min turned out to be the most talented, as she managed to summon a high-grade Spirit at her first try, whilst her siblings managed to summon only medium-grade Spirits.
There are six known ranks of Spirits in the Human Realm: Low-grade, Medium-grade, High-grade, Elite-grade, Heaven-grade, and finally, Holy-grade.
