3 Chapter 2 : Xu Yún (1/2)
Somewhere on Mount Yao, where the Xu family manor was located, you could see people moving back and forth in great haste. Presently in the family's main Hall, all the important figures were seated. Some were wearing anxious looks on their faces while some had Stern and rigid looks but none looked as amused as the man seated on the main seat as he took light sips from his tea.
” yunzao, your pacing is making me dizzy...have a seat, why can't you be like Tianchi? After all his wife is in labor as well but you don't see him so anxious! Besides Xiao Mei is the best Mid wife in all of chengdu ”. The Man who had just spoken is Xu Yunzheng, he's the present Xu family head known for being strict , fueled by his ambition to eradicate evil!. He had many accomplishments tied to his belt right from his youth. Taking the Xu family black ink ruler technique to a whole new level at the time. Though he had a scholarly air around him as well easy going expression on his face it does not make him all that approachable because of his strict nature. Donned in a sky blue attire on his middle aged body, holding his tea cup as he advised yunzao. ” don't worry, I'm sure we'll hear some good news soon” he says, taking another sip from his tea he motions for yunzao to sit with his eyes.
”Y...yes” yunzao bows courteously as he moved towards the chair beside Yunzheng, but no one noticed as an ominous glint flashed through his eyes. 'That's not what I'm anxious about' He thought as looks at his third brother, who in turn looks at him before nodding and returning to his inner thoughts.
'I don't know why I was worried, the Soul grasping poison is untraceable not to mention more than enough to kill the child in Jun zhenzhen's womb.' Smiling at his deed, as Only his child will be competing with Yunzheng's Son(Xu Dun).
Xu yunzao is the second brother of Xu Yunzheng, he was known as ghost hands in his youth. As During that time he was the Best swordsman in chengdu known for his fast sword movements, he was the only brother who didn't practice black ink ruler technique. but he succumbed to gluttony and Greed making his talent drop before his father's eyes(Xu Dao). It was due to this reason that he couldn't be the clan leader. Now he had added a lot of weight with his small eyes and big tummy making him look a bit comical. But no one dared laugh at him because even though his cultivation had declined, he was still a power house, a Bonafide infallible martial arts master not to be trifled with.
Suddenly there was multiple cries of babies making Tianchi jolt from his sit before running in that direction, causing laughter to resonate in the Main Hall. Clearly everyone could see the relieved smile on each others faces.
”Good Good good... Yunzao you don't have to so shocked! come let's go see My Nieces or Nephews” Yunzheng said between laughs as he Majestically stood up from his chair, waking his brother from his Daze.
”Y...yes” Yunzao Quickly stood as he replied with an awkward laugh. One would see him and think he was embarrassed by the ongoing event but in actual fact his mind was in chaos.
'This shouldn't be!! Why is his child still alive?! Why why why!!' He thought while picking up his pace producing a comical sight of a meatball rushing towards Jun zhenzhen's room and not he's wife's, but people were to preoccupied to make sense of his actions.
On getting there he found a pale faced Jun zhenzhen hugging a beautiful baby. It had jade like skin like its mother and small white hair on it's head, besides that it seemed perfectly fine. Instead the child actively looked at everyone in the room with intelligent eyes. Yunzao was shaken, even though he believed the child still couldn't see yet but it felt it could see his soul.
Tianchi kept laughing like a fool as he received congratulatory remarks from the elders and other clansmen.
