Chapter 18 - I am not Masochist! (1/2)
Jean turned visible and entered in the Reflection Gorge, his footsteps alerted Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi who were inside, and the former cried out in surprise.
Xiao Lie: Che'er!!
Xiao Lingxi: Ah!
The silhouette of Xiao Lingxi soon appeared beside Xiao Che, when she saw him, she covered her lips with her fingers and started to cry.
Xiao Lingxi: Little Che!
After yelling that, she threw herself on his ċhėst, and using his clothes to clean her eyes, making Jean slightly disgusted.
Xiao Lie: Che'er… How… How are you here? Did the Xiao Clan allow you to return?
Jean: Shhhh… They don't know anything.
Xiao Lie: …
Jean: From what I am seeing, you two are alright even when you are here…
Soon, Xiao Lingxi stopped crying while Xiao Lie comfortably laughed.
Xiao Lie: Be at ease. The Frozen Cloud Asgard's Chu fairy hinted that she would protect us to the Xiao Sect before she had departed. With the backing of this powerful force, how could they dare to injure me or Xi'er?
After the Xiao Sect members leave, they would even more not dare to; after all, I do have the reputation of being Floating Cloud City's number one expert here, heh heh.
Jean: Hmm.
Xiao Lie: Xia Qingyue is a good wife; to the very end, she did not tear up the marriage certificate.
Jean: Heh, I noticed it… Now let's go on the serious part…
Xiao Lie: You want to ask who your biological parents were, right?
Jean: Yes. I know that my surname is Yun, nothing else.
Xiao Lie: Huh? How did you know?
Jean just showed them his watch and said.
Jean: This thing gave me the information, it may be a soul bound item.
Xiao Lie nodded seriously and started to talk while Xiao Lingxi started at him.
Xiao Lie: Unfortunately, I don't have many good information, only that your real surname is Yun, and your father was a genius that would make Xiao Ying's talent look like a joke. Then Xiao Ying got married and had a child… and two months after the child was born, he saw your father again together with your mother.
… But at that time, both your father and mother were completely drenched in blood, and in their hands was you, who was also drenched in blood. You were only about two months old as well at that time, unconscious in your mother's embrace.
When Xiao Ying stopped them and brought them to a secret location. Their bodies were entirely covered with wounds, and all their profound strength had been depleted.…
They stayed only for awhile before insisting on leaving, because the people chasing after their lives were too powerful, so powerful that even the entire Floating Cloud City could not possibly contend against. If they stayed, they will only implicate Xiao Ying with a burden.
Jean: ...Assassination.
Xiao Lingxi: *Gasp*
Xiao Lie: Exactly. Unfortunately, Xiao Ying died in the ȧssassination because the people forced him to reveal your parents location, but Xiao Ying kept silent, meaning that your parents could possibly still be alive!
Jean's eyes narrowed as his heart started to stir and smiled.
Jean: *Sigh* You'll make me cry now, grandfather…
Xiao Lie: Heh heh. Don't be such a baby, about the reason of the ȧssassination. It was because your parents possessed a ”Heavenly Profound Treasure”, I don't know what it is, but it must never be said to outsiders.
Xiao Lie: You are right, if you were to be discovered, it would become even more troublesome.
Xiao Lingxi: Ah? You… You're leaving?
She quickly raised her head and grabbed him tightly with both her hands, Jean smiled and ċȧrėssed her head.
Jean: Remember about the picture, I will always remember you. However, remember that as soon as I am strong, I will turn back here, ok?
Xiao Lingxi: Huh?
Jean: Can you wait at least 3 years before I turn back?
Xiao Lingxi: 3… Years…? *Sniff* Yes! I can wait for you!
