3 Arriving Late (2/2)
However, as the Emperor of Spirits, Xiao Tian knew that there exists Spirits even stronger than Holy Spirits.
As for his own red-headed Spirit, Xiao Tian was unsure of her grade, as she never told him, and there was no such thing as Summoned Spirits when he was still alive. But judging from the way she spoke and her arrogant att.i.tude like she's above all, she might be a fairly high-grade Spirit.
”By the way, I heard that you failed your first Spirit Summoning. Are you upset?” Xiao Min suddenly asked him.
”Not really.” Xiao Tian casually answered.
”So you are upset,” she said. ”Don't worry about it too much, since you are still too young. Give it another year or two and you'll surely succeed.”
Xiao Tian shook his head inwardly and remained silent, hoping for Xiao Min to be quiet at least until they catch up to the family.
”Haaa… Dealing with humans is a pain in the a.s.s…” Xiao Tian sighed inwardly. He found it much easier and peaceful to be around Spirits, mostly because they don't talk as much as humans.
Sometime later, Xiao Tian and Xiao Min arrived at the center of the Xiao Clan's mansion, where a large group of individuals was gathered.
There were elders from the Xiao Clan, servants serving food and drinks to the tables, and of course, the Song Clan that was sitting at a large table alongside the main members of the Xiao Clan.
The atmosphere was filled with liveliness and excitement and smiles could be seen on everyone's faces.
However, the place became quiet when they noticed Xiao Tian and Xiao Min's entrance.
”Xiao Tian!” Xiao Long, his father, stood up from his seat and loudly yelled Xiao Tian's name upon seeing his face. ”Where have you been all this time?! You better have a good explanation for being this late!”
Everybody turned to look at Xiao Tian at this moment, even the Song Clan, who seemed to find this situation quite amusing, to say the least.
Xiao Min seemed to have something to say but was a bit slower than Xiao Tian.
”I just woke up.” Xiao Tian spoke with a calm voice, sounding not even a little bit concerned for his late arrival.
”...”
Hearing Xiao Tian's simple explanation and indifferent tone, Xiao Long's face turned red in anger, feeling embarra.s.sed by his son's behavior before the Song Clan.
However, the Song Clan, in contrary, actually started laughing at Xiao Tian's nonchalant behavior.
”What a frank child! I like him already!” Song Wei, the head of the Song Clan, burst out laughing.
The mature lady beside him also chuckled, finding Xiao Tian's behavior innocent and cute.
Xiao Long's anger disappeared when he saw the Song Clan's positive reaction, and he said to Xiao Tian, ”Come here and introduce yourself!”
Xiao Tian nodded and approached the table with slow and precise steps, his expression calm. However, his eyes emitted a sharp presence as they stared directly at the Song Clan.
When Song Wei saw Xiao Tian's expression, he stopped laughing, and his brows lifted with surprise.
Although it was not apparent, Song Wei could sense a profound and mysterious air around Xiao Tian, making his small figure seem larger than reality, almost like he was before the presence of royalty.
”What an interesting lad...” Song Wei mumbled to himself, his interest in Xiao Long piqued.
