"No matter what you say, just hurry up and give back the Spirit Sword!"
"I don’t have it! Your disreputable ancestor was deceiving you. I saw him at the ancient tomb, and at that ti your family’s treasure was already sent to the museum. Moreover, he said himself it was lost, so how could it end up with ?" Ye Tian decided to reason first, and only fight if that didn’t work because his Gang Qi hadn’t fully recovered from the battle with Guo Bin yesterday.
"Great-grandfather would never lie!" Yu Xiao didn’t believe it.
"He wouldn’t lie? Instead of living a good life, you let soone stay in an ancient tomb, even soone as upright as would think of ways to leave, not to ntion how long he’s been there?" Ye Tian scoffed.
"You’re talking nonsense!" Yu Xiao didn’t want to listen to Ye Tian’s gibberish anymore and had already thrust her long sword towards Ye Tian with force.
Ye Tian slid down the couch and landed heavily on the ground with a thud.
"Ah, you damned child! Why won’t you listen? You should still call Xu Kong ’great-grandfather’, you know? Let tell you, Xu Kong and I are like sworn brothers. By disrespecting now, you’re disrespecting an elder, do you realize that?" Ye Tian grabbed sothing from the table, not caring what it was, and greeted Yu Xiao with it.
"You’re talking nonsense! Grandfather Xu Kong is the most particular about seniority, how could he be sworn brothers with you! You also slandered my great-grandfather; I’m going all out against you today!" Yu Xiao’s Gang Qi was formidable, but she lacked real combat experience, so she quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Although Ye Tian was short on Gang Qi and it was a bit difficult to handle this youngster, his vast combat experience gave him the upper hand in the end.
Finally, Ye Tian pointed the remote control at Yu Xiao’s neck and said with a smile, "Good grandson, take a look for yourself. If this in my hand were a sword, you’d be dead by now. Have you ever thought about why, in a big clan like yours, nobody else has co after but you yourself?"
"..." Yu Xiao lowered his head to think, and indeed, it was so. Although his family considered the loss of the Blood Jade Spirit Sword a pity, no one really wanted to retrieve it. After all, it wasn’t an auspicious object, and over the years, how many people had died in his family because of it.
Now it seed true; only he felt it belonged to his family and must be retrieved. He had spoken to his father, who even scolded him, so he sneaked out.
"What now? Shouldn’t you be telling everything clearly? Your family’s slander against is sothing I can sue you for." Ye Tian let go and sat back on the sofa, looking at Yu Xiao, who was as stunned as a wooden chicken.
"Kid, I’m talking to you!" Ye Tian kicked Yu Xiao’s bottom irritably.
"Uh." Although Yu Xiao was handso, his handsoness was a sort of childishness, different from Xiaoqian’s innocence — he was completely dull.
"Don’t worry; if I really were a bad guy, Xu Kong wouldn’t agree to leave his granddaughter here with ." Ye Tian comforted this dull young man, feeling like he was consoling a little dog.
"You’re talking about Auntie Yiqian?" Yu Xiao’s eyes imdiately lit up, much like a little monk seeing Zhang Ling’er.
"Yiqian?" Ye Tian, hearing Xiaoqian’s na, couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha... no wonder... every ti I ask her na, she ignores !"
"Auntie Yiqian’s na is a bit odd, yes, but their family follows a generational naming pattern, with ’Yi’ sothing."
"And what about your family? Are you all nad with ’Yu’ like you?"
"Yeah."
"Now tell clearly what exactly your family does? Why did you co out wearing a Taoist robe? Do you think dressing like this turns heads?" Ye Tian wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes.
"Our family and Grandfather Xu Kong’s family are the sa; we’re generations of practitioners. We practice Taoism and its spells. Our surna is Lv. As for that Blood Jade Spirit Sword, I don’t know its origins, but I know it’s both a treasure and a disaster of our clan. We’ve always been its guardians, fearing it would be stolen, and carefully watching over it, as it possesses a kind of Spiritual Power that makes people feel omnipotent, leading them to do many things."
"What’s the deal with that ancient tomb? Oh, and what’s the na of your shabby old great-grandfather?"
"His na is Ming Yuan. As for the ancient tomb, it’s just like the Spirit Sword; I’m not very clear on the details. All I know is that the sword has always been associated with the tomb, and soone must be selected to guard it. My great-grandfather decided on himself when the ti was right, so I haven’t really seen him much."
"Why did you hand over the Jade Sword then?"
"My great-grandfather said since it’s a calamity and we have guarded it for so many years, we shouldn’t waste our lives on it anymore. Just let it go; soday, soone will subdue it."
"I must say, your family is really sothing. How co you don’t know anything? Does anyone in your family know?"
"My dad is now the clan leader; he knows everything." Yu Xiao said to Ye Tian as if offering a treasure.
"Can you take to et your dad? I have so questions I’d like to ask him in person. I wasn’t involved with your family, yet you dragged into this. Now I’m afraid it’s difficult for to stay out of it."
Ye Tian felt from the beginning that this was all a conspiracy, though he wasn’t sure who it was against. But since they have pulled him into an unfamiliar camp, he can’t just stick his neck out. Even if there is profit to be made, he has to safely resolve this matter before thinking of anything else.
"Can you first take to see Aunt Yiqian?" Yu Xiao’s face turned red, and looking down shyly, he said, Ye Tian felt like he was pressuring soone into sothing nefarious.
"Sure. Isn’t it just Yiqian?" Ye Tian couldn’t help but laugh whenever he said her na.
"Really?"
"Really. Yu Xiao, do you like Xiaoqian?"
"Our generational status doesn’t match," Yu Xiao sighed.
"That’s true. I have a little disciple, though. What does he look like?" Ye Tian glanced at Yu Xiao and said regretfully, "Similar to you, it seems he likes Xiaoqian too."
"Who?" Yu Xiao asked excitedly.
"What? You want to et him? I think girls prefer soone like Tianjiao. Look at you, do you think it’s still ancient tis, wearing a Taoist robe? People might think you tell fortunes!"
Yu Xiao looked at Ye Tian perplexedly, then at his own clothes. He really liked wearing the Taoist robe and preferred dressing this way at ho. Could it be because of this Xiaoqian ignored him?
Ye Tian left with a newly-dressed Yu Xiao, and although he wore his own clothes, walking on the street, the won looked at him as if they wanted to strip him bare.
Ye Tian lanted that it’s now a world that judges by appearance.
Yu Xiao was uncomfortable with the brazen looks from the won, hiding behind Ye Tian, who promptly pulled him out.
Nonsense, having such a refined and handso man close to him, Ye Tian couldn’t bear the feeling of being ignored any longer, lest people think they were more than friends – what would he gain from that?
"Ye Tian, why are they staring at ?" Yu Xiao asked, head down. Just earlier a woman tried to yank down his clothes forcefully, as if his chest was about to pop out, and another stuffed a note in his clothes.
"Do you feel like they all want to devour you?" Ye Tian found Yu Xiao truly adorable, just like the little monk. He enjoyed teasing him; Xiaoqian, on the other hand, looked like a loli on the outside but was a man in spirit – absolutely no fun.
