I greet the Elders and ask what the reason of their visit is.
They remain silent for a while.
The Grand Elder drops his tea on a stool in front of him.
"How have you been Xin Yeong?" He asks with a little smile.
"Fine, thank you for asking Grand Elder." I respond with a little bow of the head.
He looks at as if scanning .
He picks up his tea again.
"Entry phase of the Early Peak huh?" He says as he sips his tea.
The other Elders along with Xin Hong were surprised.
"What could you be talking about Grand Elder?" Xin Jong asks as he sits up.
"Of course I couldn’t hide my level from a Grand Master." I say to myself.
I don’t intentionally hide my level, the Phantom Technique is a very secretive technique so as one of it’s features it always tries to hide every presence, including my level.
I heave a sigh as I turn off that feature, making my level more visible to those who could gauge it.
"Ooohhh, now that I look closely he really is in the Early Peak realm." The Third Elder says squinting his eyes and sitting up.
"What!?" Xin Jong exclaims, looking confused.
"It is always good to see the upcoming generation of our Clan with good talent." The Grand Elder says as he drops his tea and begins stroking his beard.
"Thank you very much Grand Elder." I respond with a slight bow of the head.
"Yes yes, but I have a question, if you don’t mind I hope you can quench this old man’s curiosity" He says with a smile.
What does this old man want to know now?
"Of course Grand Elder, I would try to satisfy your curiosity." I reply.
"That would be good." He says.
"Well, it is known to everyone that you are an illegitimate son of the Patriarch, along with the fact that you had no Martial Arts even at the age of fifteen as you had not opened your dantian.
What I would like to know is how you sohow managed to open your dantian after all this years." He asks.
Of course he would want to know.
And he’s not just asking for the sake of it, his trying to sort for any form of information that could be beneficial to him.
"I ca upon a lucky encounter." I say to him.
"A lucky encounter huh? And what was this lucky encounter?" He asks.
"eting my Master." I reply.
"Sorry I’m using you for this lie Master, please forgive ." I quickly pray inside as I place my hands together.
As I ntion eting my Master, the other three beca more keen to listening, especially Xin Jong.
"I see, so this Master of yours helped you open your dantian and taught you cultivation techniques huh?" He questions .
"Yes Grand Elder." I respond.
"Hmmm, well may I et this Master of yours?" He asks.
"Unfortunatly that would not be possible." I reply to him.
"Do you take us for a joke?" The Fourth Elder snaps at .
I glare at him.
"The only reason your head is still on your body is because there are so other people who would pose a problem to here." I say to him in my thoughts as I heave a sigh.
"Calm down Fourth Elder." The Grand Elder says.
"What do you an by that Xin Yeong, and be careful of your reply." He says as he picks up his cup of tea.
"Well, unfortunately, this great Master of mine is late, may her soul Rest In Peace." I say with my eyes closed as I put my hands together as if offering a prayer.
"You must have a death wish." The Third Elder says with an annoyed look.
"So what you are saying is, you t your Master, she helped you open your dantian, she helped you with so cultivation techniques and resources and then died?" The Grand Elder questions , his voice sounding annoyed.
The Fourth Elder looked like he wanted to lunge at .
"No Grand Elder. My Master had already long passed away before I t her.
I only ca across her Martial Arts Manual and so pills by chance." I say to the Grand Elder.
"I see? and how did you chance upon her legacy." The Grand Elder asks.
"I was taking a hike to strengthen my leg muscles when I tripped and fell.
Rolling down I found myself at the entrance of a cave. The clouds were heavy so I took shelter in the cave and that was how I found her." I narrate so cliche made up story to him.
"Hmmmm, may I see this Martial Arts Manual?" The Grand Elder asks.
"I burnt it." I reply to him.
"This son of a..." Xin Jong hadn’t finished cursing when the Fourth Elder dashed at grabbing by the neck and raising off the ground.
"Do we look like fools to you?" The Fourth Elder says as he holds up.
"You, definitely look like a fool and I promise to not let the world continue to host a fool like you." I say to him in my thoughts.
Hold it in David, if you counter, there is no turning back.
"That should be enough now Fourth Elder." The Grand Elder says.
"But Grand..."
"That is enough Xin Bo." The Grand Elder says with a glare cutting off the Fourth Elder.
Xin Bo let’s go dropping to the ground.
He returns to his seat.
I sit there on the ground holding my neck and coughing a little.
I give a glare at Xin Bo, I was holding back my killing intent.
"All four of you, I will rember this embarrassnt." I say to myself as I try to get up.
"Xin Yeong!" The Grand Elder calls out to .
"As you know, the Clan is highly sensitive right now due to the incident that happened of late, and with your actions so far you have been deed a suspect on the murder of Xin Lao." He states.
"You would be coming with us, and I advise you follow us quietly." He says as he gives a cunning smile.
