4 Spirit Eyes (2/2)

Song Yu pointed to where Xiao Tian left and said, ”I want to speak with that boy named Xiao Tian.”

”...”

The place instantly turned silent, and even Song Wei looked at her with a dazed expression.

His youngest daughter has taken an interest in another individual besides her own Spirit? It shocked not just her parents but her siblings, too.

Song Wei turned to look at Xiao Long in a stiff movement, ”I hope you won't mind my daughter's absence,” he said.

”A… Absolutely not…” Xiao Long responded in a dazed voice.

A few moments later, after Song Yu received Song Wei's approval, with disbelief in their wide eyes, everybody there watched Song Yu leave her seat — then the area.

After Song Yu left the place, the atmosphere there became awkward, as both parties were surprised by Song Yu's actions.

Inside the library at the Xiao Clan's manor, Xiao Tian casually flipped through the pages on a book regarding Spirits.

Ever since he was reborn into this world, Xiao Tian has spent the majority of his time inside this decently sized library to learn more about the current generation and the Human Realm in general.

Because he had spent pretty much all of his life inside the Spirit Realm in his previous life, he knows little to nothing about the Human Realm. And knowing nothing about the place he will be living in from now on will only become problematic in the future, hence why held back on cultivating and focused on studying first.

For ten and a half years, ever since he could walk, Xiao Tian has spent nearly every day inside this library studying. And after so many years of reading, he managed to read all of the books in this place not just once but more than two times, as there were always things that he'd missed by accident.

And in the midst of his reading, the door suddenly opened, and Song Yu walked inside with a nonchalant expression.

Xiao Tian closed the book and turned to look at her, waiting for her to speak.

”h.e.l.lo, Xiao Tian. I am called Song Yu, the youngest daughter of the Song Clan,” Song Yu introduced herself as she casually approached him until she was right beside him.

After her introduction, Xiao Tian merely nodded his head in silence, acknowledging her.

”Since I came here seeking you, I will go straight to the point — why did you lie just now?” Song Yu asked him with narrowed eyes.

”...I don't know what you are talking about.” Xiao Tian responded, his expression still calm.

Song Yu smiled and said, ”I knew that you'd deny it, but hear me out. I was born with a pair of unique eyes that allows me to see things normal humans cannot…”

Xiao Tian raised an eyebrow at her words, wondering to himself why she was telling him all of this.

Song Yu suddenly pointed to her eyes, which flickered with profound lights, and continued to speak, ”The books that I have read called it 'Spirit Eyes', and it has the ability to see the Spirit of anyone that comes into view.”

Xiao Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, but he remained quiet.

”That being said, I cannot see exactly what type of Spirit you have — only whether or not you have a Spirit. It's quite an amazing ability, right?”

”Yes, it's quite an interesting pair of eyes, but why are you telling me this?” Xiao Tian could already guess her reason for being there, but he still asked.

”Because no normal 11-year-old kid would ever lie about not succeeding in a Spirit Summoning, something that every human being should be proud of! Tell me, Xiao Tian. Why did you lie to my father? Does your family know about the Spirit that resides in your body?” Song Yu continued to stare at Xiao Tian with eyes of interest, almost like she'd just found herself a new toy.
