Chapter 13 - It isnt me! (1/2)

Xiao Kuangyun: Is everyone from the Xiao Clan here?

Even if he looked disinterested, Jean noticed his eyes spinning around searching for someone…

Xiao Yunhai: It has already been confirmed. Everyone is present, there won't even be one missing.

Xiao Kuangyun let out a smile and said.

Xiao Kuangyun: Very good! Who are those people standing outside the door?

Xiao Yunhai: Reporting to Young Master Xiao, they are all powerful families within Floating Cloud City. They've been gathered here since early this morning, hoping catch a glance of Young Master Xiao's elegance.

Xiao Kuangyun: Ah, it's like that. Since they are guests, we can't let them wait outside like that. Let them come in. Having the people outside of Xiao Clan witness today's matter is also a good thing, otherwise others may later say that I was being biased.

Xiao Yunhai: Young Master Xiao is truly worthy of being the son of the sect master of the Xiao Sect. You're this young and are already this open-minded. It's enough to make me blush with shame… Xiao De, quickly, invite our guests in.

The main doors opened and all the inhabitants of Floating Cloud City entered inside.

Xiao Kuangyun: Very well, now we can start.

He straightened his posture and started his speech.

Xiao Kuangyun: My name is Xiao Kuangyun and I am from the Xiao Sect. Regarding the great name of the Xiao Sect, you all should be very clear. In the Blue Wind Empire, there's nothing that my Xiao Sect can't resolve.

All of you ought to feel honored and proud because even though you are a bit weak, you can still be said to be related to the Xiao Sect. The founder of the Xiao Clan was the son of one of our Xiao Sect's Elders.

However, although your founder was the son of an elder, he was actually born from a female servant. His status was so low it wasn't worth mentioning, and his profound strength was really too lacking.

As a piece of trash, he wasn't fit to remain in the Xiao Sect. Your founder was thus banished by that Elder to this place, and that's how your Xiao Clan came into existence.

Even if his words were harsh and full of disdain. No one from the Xiao Clan dared to refute him.

Xiao Kuangyun: Before Elder Xiao Zheng died, he remembered his affection for his son, and left behind a dying wish. He hoped we would find the one with the best aptitude amongst the younger generation here to bring back to the Xiao Sect.

Today, I will personally check that. In a while, anyone whose name I call will come in front of me and show your profound strength. However, aptitude isn't decided by the level of your profound strength, but by your foundation and potential!

Before I came here, my honorable father had me bring a batch of Profound Opening Powder as a gift. The person selected not only will be brought back to the Xiao Sect, but will also receive this Profound Opening Powder as a reward! Good medicine can only be enjoyed by those with enough aptitude. It would only be wasted if used on the body of trash!

Jean: 'Wait, why using something that is now ours as a reward?'

Xiao Kuangyun turned towards the clan master and said.

Xiao Kuangyun: Clan master, bring out the Profound Opening Powder. Even though this is a gift to the Xiao Clan, you shouldn't have any complaints about giving this to the one with the best aptitude as a reward, right?

However, Xiao Yunhai's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

Xiao Kuangyun: What's the matter? Clan Master Xiao, you wouldn't be unwilling to part with the Profound Opening Powder, right?

Xiao Yunhai: No, no, of course not. It's only… only…

With a face of terror, he kneeled in the griund and stuttered.

Xiao Yunhai: I… I deserve to die… The Profound Opening Powder that Young Master Xiao gifted us yesterday, I left it in our Xiao Clan's infirmary and made it clear to the person there that they must guard it well.

Everyone broke into chaos from the news, while Jean and Xia Qingyue closed their ears in annoyance.

Jean: 'I think I get what is happening… They're trying to blame my wife and take her away.'

Jean's eyes turned cold as he gazed at Xiao Yunhai and Xiao Kuangyun. Hohoho, if they make a false move, the next time he sees them he will break their spines… It's ok if people insult him, it's ok if they insult his relatives, but if they try something wrong then he will do everything he can, like for his Uncle, he sent him in a prison after he cut his tongue.

He noticed Xiao Lingxi and Xiao Lie communicating with their eyes, then Xiao Lie sighed in relief… What did Aunt do before this?

Xiao Kuangyun violently stood from his seat and yelled.

Xiao Kuangyun: Wh… what!! You're saying that… there's actually someone who would steal the Profound Opening Powder?

Xiao Yunhai: Your humble servant couldn't protect it. I request Young Master Xiao administer punishment.

Xiao Kuangyun: This is ridiculous! Someone actually dared to steal our gift to the Xiao Clan. Good! Very good! I've really underestimated this Floating Cloud City! You all are actually… quite bold!

Xiao Kuangyun's anger and killing intent extended in the entire hall, making almost everyone's spines to shiver.

But Jean's experience on one of his past lives gave him a sort of immunity from this sort of thing and said to Xiao Lie.

Jean: Grandfather, the clan master didn't offend this Xiao Kuangyun yesterday, right?
