4 Exiled (2/2)

It was the truth, and there was no reason to hide it. My grandfather sighed slightly; my grandmother held her tears. My uncles and cousin lowered their heads. I didn't understand the reason for this.

”A Lionheart who cannot use the Lionheart technique cannot stay within the Lionheart village. From today, Theo Lionheart, you will be exiled from the village.”

I opened my eyes in shock. Am I exiled from the village? Can't I stay because I can't train a technique?

”Father! He's your only grandson, the last one who can pass the Lionheart surname. You can't throw him out!” My mother got up and stood beside me.

My grandfather frowned at this but decided not to say anything.

”Let me remind you, Sylvia Lionheart, that Theo should not bear the Lionheart surname. It's just because you don't want to say who his father is that he can carry the family surname.” Grandfather spoke coldly.

My mother's face turned pale. She bit her lip so hard that blood fell from it.

”Father, you know it's not that I don't want to give my children their father's last name. I don't know what his father's last name is.”

Once again, I was shocked. My sister Alice was just like me. My mother didn't know my father's last name? That was something I didn't expect, and even the previous Theo didn't know about it.

Grandfather sighed; his gaze became gentle. ”I don't want to exile my only male grandson, but family rules are like that, and you have to follow them. Our ancestor made a blood oath, and all his descendants have to keep it.”

Tears fell from my mother's face, my sister's face, and my grandmother's face. Even my aunt and cousin were crying. Only my grandfather and uncle were holding on. The Lionheart family was a close-knit family; there were no family fights or anything like that. My exile seemed to be the only sad moment that had happened in years for this family.

”Can't I ever come back?” That was the only question I had right now.

My grandfather nodded. ”Yes, but for that, you have to break the blood oath by force. To do that, you have to overcome the strength of your ancestor.”

”What is that force?” I asked him.

”The peak of Xiantian.” Grandfather's face was full of admiration as he said that.

”The peak of Xiantian...” I didn't understand shit that it was Xiantian, but from grandfather's face, it looked powerful.

But what if it was powerful? Couldn't my semen cure terminal illnesses in the past? Now I just have to perform another miracle.

”Well, I want you all to come out. I'm going to have one last talk with my grandson.”

Grandpa had spoken, so everyone had to listen to him. Soon, it was just me and Grandpa in the room.

”Do you know anything about the cultivation realms, Theo?” Grandfather asked me.

His serious face had changed. He now only had a gentle look in his eyes as he looked at me. From the memories of the previous Theo, he had always spent a lot of time with the grandfather and could see that the grandfather appreciated him very much.

”I have no idea, can you explain it for me?”
