Chapter 32 – Ice Fairy Preventer


Xiao Yulong's words made Xiao Lie's entire body tremble.


Looking at Xiao Yulong's sinister smile, how could he not have realized that the mutterings on that day, in front of the grave of his son Xiao Ying!


What Xiao Yulong said caused the crowd to instantly fall into an uproar. All of his jaws opened as they shifted their focus to Xiao Lie and the moment they saw Xiao Lie's strange reaction, the astonishment within their hearts suddenly increased by several times. With this, the voice of the discussion began to increase.


Xiao Che was completely flustered; the moment he saw Xiao Lie's reaction, he felt stunned. Xiao Lingxi also had an ordinary expression and looked at Xiao Lie blankly.


“Yulong! What's the matter? “Xiao Yunhai frowned as he asked solemnly.


Xiao Yulong turned to the side and replied respectfully, “A few days ago when I went to the cemetery on the back mountain to pay my respects, I happened to meet with the Fifth Elder. At that moment, he stood in front of the grave of his son, Xiao Ying and muttered something to himself .. But I heard it very clearly, he said … that Xiao Che was actually not Xiao Ying's biological son! “


From Xiao Yulong's words now and Xiao Lie's reaction, the crowd had already guessed the truth a little, but now that Xiao Yulong had announced it clearly, it was like hearing a sudden thunder. Everyone in the Xiao Clan was completely dumbfounded. Those who were familiar and friendly with Xiao Lie even widened their gazes, with faces full of disbelief.


“This ..” Xiao Yunhai also has a face full of shock. He seriously said at once: “Yulong! This is the main issue that deeply concerns our bloodline, You simply cannot speak recklessly !! “


Xiao Yulong firmly replied, “Of course I don't dare to lie about a big problem. For the truth, it will be known after you ask the Fifth Elder, and that Xiao Che is really your biological grandson, then do you dare to swear by the honor of your son? “


Everyone's gazes focused on Xiao Lie. As he stood there stiffly, his expression became even more bitter, he did not say a word or give an explanation for quite some time, and even if he died. He would never swear on the honor of the late Xiao Ying, if it was wrong.


Xiao Che opened his mouth, but he could not say a word. His chest felt hollow as a heavy and stifling emotion swiftly swept through his entire body.


“Dad, how could little Che not be your biological grandson .. Dad, quickly say something, tell them immediately!” Xiao Lingxi strongly shook Xiao Lie's body as she shouted in a frightened tone.


But Xiao Lie did not say a word for a long time, as if he had turned into a statue.


“Fifth Chairman, how did that happen? Are the words Yulong spoke the truth? “Xiao Yunhai nervously asked Xiao Lie as he frowned.


Xiao Lie slowly raised his head and took a deep breath. Xiao Yulong forced him to swear to his son Xiao Ying .. But it was something he would never do whatever the reason. Hence, the matter that he had hidden for these sixteen years, was destined to be unable to remain hidden from this moment on. He had thought that he could cover up the truth for a lifetime, until the day of his death, but he would never have thought that it would actually be mercilessly revealed so quickly under this unimaginable situation, and in front of so many people.


Xiao Lie's appearance was already secretly clear. If it was the other way around, he could have sworn fearlessly and shut Xiao Yulong's mouth. Everyone in the Xiao Clan was all flabbergasted. Even Xia Qingyue was stunned as well. Xia Hongyi who was standing around him silently at this moment also had a face full of shock .. Xiao Che is not Xiao Ying's child? How can this !!


“Kakek..”.


As Xiao Che walked in front of Xiao Lie, every step he took was extremely dense. Upon seeing the face that seemed to have aged in an instant, Xiao Che felt a pain in his heart. He tried his best to stay calm, and asked gently, “Kakek ... is this...” true?


Xiao Lie lowered his head and looked at Xiao Che. She gave a bitter smile, “Although you are not my biological grandson, but for all these years, I have always treated you as my own grandson.


If the silence before signifies his approval, in this case, this sentence is a confirmation that everyone has now heard clearly!


The Xiao Clan immediately experienced an uproar. Being in the Xiao clan for so many years, this was without a doubt, the most shocking news ever heard before.


Xiao Che stood expressionlessly without making a single sound, as if he had lost his soul. Xiao Lingxi was stunned as well; she shook her head angrily, rushed towards Xiao Lie and restlessly shouted, “Dad! What did you say .. Little Che grew up with me from a young age, he is the biological son of my brother, Xiao Ying, how could he not be your own grandson .. You must be kidding .. right !? “


A hand stretched out and grabbed Xiao Lingxi's hand. At this moment Xiao Che's expression had changed back to normal. He looked at Xiao Lingxi and gently shook his head afterwards, revealing a shallow smile: “It's okay, little aunt. Grandpa will always be my grandfather and you will always be my little aunt. We will always be the closest family, so it doesn't matter if we are related to blood or not; our feelings will never change? “


“Che small..” Xiao Lingxi's eyes instantly become blurred.


While on the other hand, some crazy dogs that suddenly got a huge weakness from Xiao Che started barking wildly.


“Xiao Lie! you actually brought a bastard into our Xiao clan, and let our Xiao Clan raise him for sixteen years! How'd you!… Argh! “Third elder Xiao Ze heaved a heavy sigh.


“You know he's a real bastard but you still keep him in the Xiao Clan and let him enjoy the privilege of being the granddaughter of the Elders! Xiao Lie, you actually lied to our entire clan for sixteen years. If Yulong doesn't find this by luck, maybe we'll be tricked by you forever. At that time, the descendants of the Xiao Clan would be mixed with the blood of outsiders! Xiao Lie, do you know how big a sin it is! “Fourth Elder, Xiao Cheng pointed at Xiao Lie as his face turned red due to his anxiety.


Second Elder, Xiao Bo scolded loudly, “No wonder every descendant of our Xiao Clan has above average talent, but suddenly there is a trash whose Profound Vein is flawed! So it turned out that the trash of the Xiao Clan for sixteen years was actually a bastard! If this were to spread, wouldn't our Xiao Clan be the laughingstock of Floating Cloud City! “


Not only were the four great elders, but even the people and officers who belonged to the four great elders all stood out, mercilessly criticizing Xiao Lie. For a moment, Xiao Lie was subjected to many arrows of ridicule.


“Fifth Head, this ... is .. Argh!” The color of Xiao Yunhai's face underwent a series of changes as he let out a sigh for a long period of time.


“Hehe, you guys really let me watch a very funny show. The Xiao Clan that had developed like this just now with great difficulty, had unexpectedly been mixed in with a bastard who had come out of nowhere! I feel ashamed for all of you! “When Xiao Kuangyun opened his mouth, his voice sounded like a sharp discomfort. He glanced at Xiao Che and enthusiastically continued, “Today is the general meeting of the Xiao Clan, other than the people of the Xiao Clan and the invited people, outsiders have no place here! Clan Master Xiao, what are you still waiting for, quickly throw this bastard out and from today onwards, he should not be allowed to even take half a step into the Xiao Clan !! “


“Ahh ... this ..” Xiao Yunhai has expression “do not hold”. But after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth, faced Xiao Che and said: “Xiao Che, Fifth Elder has admitted that you are not his grandson; you also do not have the blood of the Xiao Clan in your body.Although the Xiao Clan has raised you in vain for sixteen years, yet in these sixteen years, you are also in darkness… Just leave it, immediately leave our Xiao Clan. From now on, you have nothing to do with our Xiao Clan and you are not allowed to step even half a step further into our Xiao Clan anymore! “


The gazes were all focused onto Xiao Che again and many people quietly sighed in their hearts. However, Xiao Che did not even have a trace of desire to beg or a sad expression on his face. After listening to Xiao Yunhai's words, he only smiled slightly with signs of sarcasm: “Master Clan and the elders need not worry, because I don't belong to the Xiao Clan at all, then I will go ... Next I will go now!”


He stood in front of Xiao Lie as his eyes trembled for a while, then suddenly asked: “Grandfather ... if I am not your grandson, then who exactly are my biological parents?”


Xiao Lie already knew beforehand that he was going to ask this question. He closed his eyes and shook his head: “I don't know, Xiao Ying has picked you up from the outside, even he doesn't know who your biological parents are.”.


“.....” Xiao Lie trembled and his eyes were complicated, Xiao Che knew this was not the sincere answer of Xiao Lie. He had to know the truth of his birth, but in front of so many people, he could not tell.


Xiao Che knelt down in front of Xiao Lie and sincerely said: “Grandfather, even if I am not your biological grandson, but these sixteen years, you have treated me better than yourself. You raised me, educated me, protected me, spent a lot of blood and sweat on me, and I will never be able to restore the compassion of these sixteen years. I've always been so happy to have a good grandfather like you. Although it was only today that I discovered that I actually did not have the blood of the Xiao Clan, So what? You are my grandfather and I am your grandson, even if we are not related by blood, I will forever keep this affection in my heart! As long as grandfather doesn't mind, I will forever be your grandson! “


Those words made everyone feel trembling in their hearts. Xiao Lie's eyes began to bow as he nodded, said “baik” in a hoarse voice, and stepped forward, raising his hand with the intention to raise Xiao Che upwards.


Yet Xiao Che dodged his hand, bowed, and kowtowed three times towards Xiao Lie.


“Grandfather, little aunt, no matter what happens after I leave, I ask that you guys can protect yourself carefully, and take good care of your health ..”


When Xiao Che stood up, his forehead was already bruised. Yet the smile on his face remained as gentle and soothing as the autumn breeze. He turned his body and walked towards the direction of the gate. She didn't want to go .. because little grandfather and aunt were here; she still wanted to use her life to protect her, otherwise grandfather and little aunt would be dragged into an unexpected mess. Regardless of whether he wanted to stay or not, he still had to leave.


“Che small!!”


Xiao Lingxi sobbed from behind, and Xiao Che's footsteps stopped slightly, but he did not stop. He did not look back, and walked towards the gate without hesitation .. No one knew that under his calm demeanor, he covered up a lot of anger, resentment and intent to kill …


He was very wise and ingenious, but he had no strength .. Without strength, he could not fight back, he could not protect his grandfather and little aunt, he could not protect his grandfather and his little aunt, and he did not even have the strength to fight .. He had no other choice but to be expelled this way …


By the time he had just been reborn, he wanted to gain strength, and strength was something that he had always instinctively strived for from the very beginning. At this moment, compared to the previous days, the thirst for immense power multiplied a hundredfold, and could even be said to be a thousand times…


He wanted to gain great strength to protect his grandfather and little aunt, to remove all this humiliation, and make those who had revealed their ugly faces today, regret. He wanted Xiao Kuangyun to die without a corpse .. And even wanted the entire Xiao Clan to pay an unforgettable price!


“Please take care of my grandfather and aunt.. I beg you ..”.


As it passed Xia Qingyue, Xiao Che said in a voice that only he could hear.


The man was filled with mystery and arrogance; when he said that, his eyes revealed a desperate apology .. Perhaps, throughout his life, he had never begged someone before, he had never begged, because his defense seemed so heartbreaking. Xia Qingyue's heart was extremely trembling, and suddenly felt a quick suffocation .. She couldn't help but be unconscious and slowly, nodding her head.
