18 Chapter 18
"Come on, Xuanyin"
Xiao spoke to Xuanyin who was looking at both of them, Xuanyin nodded her head as she walked towards Xiao, seeing it he opened his arms for a hug, there wasn't a change of expression on her face as she ran up to him and hugged him, Xiao smiled as he held his sister in his arms
To the others she might look like an emotionless doll but due to his connection, he could feel all that was hidden on the inside, he had felt the deep anxiety when she entered the room, he had felt the relief she had when she saw him and he had also felt the immense happiness in her when she was called out to a hug
To Xiao she looked like a shy girl taking her brothers to hug, well that perspective only worked for him, because truthfully Xuanyin lets no one else even touch her, once she had even turned 6, she even doesn't let her own mother hug or touch her, within the four heavens the only one that is allowed is Xiao and no one else
The reason for this is simple, it's because of her physique, The Heavenly Ice Phoenix, is something which is within the top 50, it's a foregone condition that she would reach to be an immortal, it was only the problem of when? the physique as it slowly awakens makes a person more like an ice phoenix
Ice phoenix are extremely cold and are very neatnik, they are extremely hard to befriend as they are always like an ice block...unmoving but once they choose someone they would be unending till their death, to those that could not feel, finding someone that could make them feel is extremely rewarding
Of course, the situation with Heavenly ice Phoenix is much more harsher and cruel than that, power that surpasses all doesn't come free, in the future this issue would be a headache that would plague Xiao continuously, not knowing the problem that would one day haunt him, Xiao lovingly ruffled Xuanyin's hair
She shook her head trying to avoid it but Xiao knew that she loved it when he ruffles her hair, after teasing her a bit he turned his attention back to the elders who had entered inside, he could even see his grandfather among them, he stood in the front tall and straight as he leads the group of elders when all of them entered and saw him, they were all surprised, as the change within him was big ƒ𝗿e𝘦𝚠𝗲𝚋n𝚘ν𝙚𝗹.𝑐o𝙢
"So you were successful"
Yun Hao spoke without much change in his expression, Xiao straightened his back as he gave a respectful bow to Yun Hao, grandfather or not, Yun Hao's first the family head and respect deserving of such must be given, seeing Xiao bow Yun Hao nodded his head, he used his spiritual sense to scan Xiao inside out
He could see that Xiao had managed to increase his talent by one level making him an Earth Core Realm talent but Yun Hao frowned, his gut feeling was telling him that there was more, among the younger generation it was only Xiao that had caught his interest, not because of his talent or matureness but because Yun Hao could feel that Xiao possess his answer to move forward
Yun Hao was survived all this while by trusting his instincts, it was a special power that had to lead him to take the seat of family head and this same instinct were screaming that the little boy in front of him possesses an immense secret but no matter how he scanned or looked there was nothing he could find
A sense of frustration build within him but no matter what he could no lash out, looking at the calm Xiao, Yun Hao analyzed, no matter what the boy would be in the family and with the talent he saw, Xiao might not get strong fast, so he planned to wait, with an approving nod Yun Hao spoke
"Good you have improved your talent by a level, you shall now be registered as an Earth Core Realm talent"
"I thank the Head"
Xiao spoke back with respect to Yun Hao, seeing it Yun Hao spoke his goodbye and left, along with the line of elders that followed him, it was only after they left did he hear his mothers concerned scream
"Xiao what happened to you?!"
Yun Lan shouted out, previously she was still absorbed with making sure that Xiao was safe she didn't focus on the changes that had taken place in him, it was only now that she had calmed down did she notice the change within him
Before Xiao had a bit of handsome look that was blooming and along with his skill [Connection], there was always a sense of peace and calmness when one talked to him, it was always relaxing to be near him but now all that had an upgrade
His hair that was a mix of white and black seemed a mess but that mess seemed to come together and create a sense of harmonic beauty that drew one in, his deep black eyes with a hint of white in them were hypnotic, one would be drawned into them instantly, his aura that always seemed calm now had a sense of danger and mostly rejection
It was as if he seemed to be going against everything that came to face to face with him, it created a sense of danger in him that piqued once interest, if before he would always make people just take a glance at him, now he would draw attention where ever he went, raising peoples interest to know more about him
"Wow~~my sons definitely breaking a lot of girls hearts in the future~~~"
Yun Lan teased with a smile on her face, seeing your son get better would make any parent proud, hearing his mothers teasing Xiao pouted 'childishly', as he replied back with fake embarrassment
"Mom~~"
"Hehehe...okay..okay I will stop for now"
Seeing his mom finally letting go Xiao sighed inside, after which he turned to his sister who was looking at his face intently, seeing it a smug smile came to his face as he spoke to his sister
"What is it Xuanyin, do you think that your brothers dashing?"
Xuanyin: Nods Head
"Oh? I am happy to hear that"
"..."
"Oh?, you also like my past look too?"
"..."
"I see....well your brother does look good in anything" 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮
Xiao continued to chat with Xuanyin with a smile on his face, while Xuanyin didn't even open her mouth, sometimes she would nod and other times she will shake her head, meanwhile, Yu Lan stood on the side and watched this interaction with a smile, along the years she had gotten used to the way they talk
Though she gotta say that she was jealous of her son being able to talk to her daughter so easily, unlike Xiao who could spend time with her easily and help support Xuanyin at her cold blasts, Yun Lan couldn't do any of those, plus she seemed to be getting more colder and distant
The only good thing was that she could see that Xuanyin was close to Xiao and seems to be getting along with him too, as a mother how could she watch as her child felt cold and unable to cultivate? she had been searching for a method of cure the last few years but alas she could not find anything, now she could only hope for a miracle to help her daughter
