Chapter 398: “Do You Know Xiao Lei?” (1/2)

Xue Wei was stunned by what he had been told. Although he was somewhat hesitant to believe what was said, he was also aware that it was likely correct.

Whenever the Emperor spoke about his mother, his face was soft and gentle.

It was clear that he had known Xue Wei's mother well, and that he considered her at least a friend.

Xue Wei lowered his head and was in deep thought, but the Emperor let him think without saying anything to disrupt him.

After a bit of time, Xue Wei lifted his head again, and he had hidden all his emotions behind his emotionless face, but even so, the Emperor was not annoyed.

”Do you know what happened to your mother?” The Emperor finally asked the question that he was worried about the most, but Xue Wei shook his head.

”I have no memories of a mother,” he said honestly, ”Do you have any knowledge about an Azure Dragon named Xiao Lei?”

This was what Xue Wei was mostly interested in. He was unable to connect the relationship between him and the man claiming to be his father unless he heard about it from Xiao Lei. Still, now he had a chance to know whether or not Xiao Lei was actually his uncle.

”I know Xiao Lei,” the Emperor said while nodding his head. ”Xiao Lei was your mother's older brother. He doted on his sister more than anyone, and it was because of him helping her that she managed to run away and vanish as easily as she did.”

Xue Wei was not doubting that the woman that this Emperor was talking about was his mother. Not only the fact that they had similarities in appearance, but also because he was capable of merging with various bloodlines of different Sovereign Beasts.

If he were an ordinary sovereign beast, it would be impossible for him to become both an Azure Dragon and a Vermilion Bird, but now he was able to become both.

Xue Wei was therefore aware that Xiao Lei was his biological uncle, so why on earth did he kill his father?

This made things complicated and hard to see, though, but Xue Wei could not entirely blame Xiao Lei before he knew what had been going on.

Because of this, Xue Wei knew that he would not be unable to unravel the question behind his background before he saw Xiao Lei again.

But more things had become apparent. Now he knew more about his mother, and he knew that Xiao Lei was his biological uncle. Thus he felt that this trip was not wasted at all.

But now it was time to get down to business.
