109 Clan meeting begins (1/2)

Bai Yun left with Bai Mu and Xiao Mei-er to the clan meeting. The clan meeting was divided into two segments. The first part was a clan gathering and the second part was the clan meeting tournament.

The clan gathering was held in a large ground at the center of the clan. The entire clan was not invited for the gathering, only the important members. The Bai clan was too large after all. If the entire clan was called, then there was no place in the Yellow City large enough for them to congregate. Even if there was, there was no way to hold a gathering with that many people.

Bai Yun went with Bai Mu and Xiao Mei-er and entered the grounds. Since he couldn't see anything, Bai Mu was leading him by his arm. But it wasn't too necessary. Due to Bai Yun's great control over his perception and his recent training, Bi Yun could easily sense the short area in his surroundings. He could walk on his own even without help.

Bai Mu took Bai Yun and went towards the front of the grounds. Bai Mu was the only descendant of a grand elder as well as the most promising youngster in the clan. He was obviously well appreciated in the clan, and thus had a prominent position.

As Bai Mu walked up, a lot of people came up to him to say their greetings. As a rising star in the clan, people wanted to get close to him.

And Bai Mu did not decline anyone. He had an easy going personality and did not care much about these things. So Bai Mu simply replied to their courtesy and went on his way.

By the time the family had arrived at their spot, the grounds were mostly full. As they stood there, Xiao Meier- and Bai Mu started to chat with some of the people who were standing close to them. It seemed as if they had people they were close to and were socializing.

Bai Yun looked around him. Even though he could not see anything, due to his training, he could infer many things from the sounds here. He found that there were also a lot of children here. The parents were all in the same group, so the children were also forced to socialize with each other.

Bai Yun noticed that quite a lot of them were grouped together and were chatting with each other. Some of them had already formed their cliques and were happily chatting with each other. Some of the younger ones were even running around and playing with each other.

But there were also a few who stood around different from each other. Bai Yun could sense that there was a region that was mostly empty, but he could vaguely sense a presence standing there. Even though he could not see it, there was a slightly older young man who stood there with his head held high, ignoring everything around him. Even the other children seemed to be a little wary of him. He was isolated from the rest and no one would go near him. There was also fear in the eyes of anyone who looked at them.

”You know you should socialize a bit. Get to know your peers.” Suddenly Bai Mu's voice sounded out beside his ear.

Bai Yun smiled wryly when he heard this. He was over thirty thousand years old. He had no peers. To Bai Yun, all the kids he met seemed to be no different from toddlers. The only ones he saw who were mature enough for Bai Yun to tolerate were Bai Ling-er, Bai Shi, Bai Qing, and Zhang Zi. Most others, even Shadow One, still had childish tendencies. There was no way Bai Yun could socialize with them.

It seemed Bai Mu also saw the problem. He knew just how mature Bai Yun was and just how these kids behaved. Bai Mu did not push Bai Yun after that.

Suddenly Bai Yun felt a small tug at the bottom of his robe. Bai Yun felt a weak presence standing near him.

”Big brother I heard that you are retarded. Are you okay?” A small voice sounded out. The moment the voice asked so, the hubbub in the surrounding area stopped. The people here were all cultivators and had excellent hearing. Bai Yun could guess that they were all staring at them.

Bai Yun could not see, but he could sense a small little lifeform standing near him. Bai Yun guessed that it was probably a little girl, maybe five or six years old.

”Who told you that?” Bai Yun asked gently.

”They did.” The little girl said pointing to someone. Bai Yun could sense a group of children in that direction, though he couldn't see anyone.

”No, I'm not.” Bai Yu replied after taking a deep breath.

”Oh.” The little girl said. ”Big brother can I ask you one more thing.”

”Sure.”

”What's retarded?” The little girl asked innocently.

Bai Yun was stunned. Even though he could not see the look on the little girl's face, he could imagine it. He felt that it was easier to engage in a debate with the unreasonable dragon emperor than to answer this little girl.

”Is your mother here?” Bai Yun finally asked after a while.

”Yup.” The little girl replied.

”You should go ask her.” Bai Yun said.

The little girl then nodded and ran away. Bai Yun quickly wiped the sweat off his brows. There were some mild chuckling from his surroundings. Bai Yun ignored them and stood there waiting for the clan meeting to begin.

And then a few people came flying over. For the Bai clan meeting, flying was strictly prohibited. Even Bai Mu had to come by walking after landing outside the grounds. So these people who just entered must be very important.
