Chapters. 54 - Options

Inside the Yu'an Pavilion, there were now several people sitting face to face there. Zhao Yuan sat in the main seat while the other four people were facing each other at the right and left wing tables.

Xun Ji'an's arrival really astonished all the disciples who were here. Because they had only first seen the white snake-type mountain spirit that was famous for its story at the time when the four Xingyue Kings were still leading in their country. Meanwhile, Mu Chen Xiao also felt astonished why he was also brought together at this banquet instead of getting what he wanted right now.

”Sucks once! I don't like fresh food here!” inner Mu Chen Xiao while throwing his face away when faced with Zhao Yuan who was sitting not far away from him.

"It's great that we have had a really unexpected guest. How are you doing now, Xun Ji'an?" Zhao Yuan asked as he placed down his ceramic glass.

"Obviously. Life in the mountains is boring without anything interesting there. The spirit spirits that were there also did not seem to be very strong. So, I have to protect them from the attacks of unholy ghosts. Lately they have often sprung up in Jiangyan city. Moreover, in their place there was not a single Cultivator who could protect them since the Mu Family was erased from the list. They must be in danger…."

”Cih! This guy talks a lot!” inner Mu Chen Xiao who was holding back his grim countenance and then turned his head towards Zhao Wei Lu who was now sitting opposite him with an expression that seemed to be very angry when he saw his whereabouts.

Seeing Zhao Wei Lu who seemed to be very angry at him, made Mu Chen Xiao think whether he had any faults or not. However, ever since they met in this pavilion, Zhao Wei Lu had always been looking at him with the same expression as if he was looking at his greatest enemy. ”Truly nothing is right! Do all the Zhao family have a turning thought?!” inner Mu Chen Xiao was astonished and thought that all the Zhao family were abnormal people.

"Yin-Yan! Isn't the one next to you the smallest of your students? Why don't you introduce her to me?" Said Xun Ji'an who told Mu Chen Xiao suddenly to make him very surprised to hear it so, he realized that what Xun Ji'an meant was him.

”Who the hell? Don't know!” muttered Mu Chen Xiao who looked reluctant to get acquainted with Xun Ji'an for having a long tongue and kept talking during the banquet.

Zhao Bingyan cleared her throat before she replied, "She is—" suddenly she just stopped talking because she saw Mu Chen Xiao who was standing from her seat. Zhao Bingyan stared in astonishment as this was the first time he had been ignored by his own disciple. "... What's up Xiao'er? Sit down."

"Mu Chen Xiao! How dare you cut off your teacher while he was talking!" Snapped Zhao Yuan who did not accept Mu Chen Xiao's treatment of Zhao Bingyan.

Mu Chen Xiao gave them a fake smile while hiding both of his hands behind his back and said, "I,... Got to get to the back." He said hesitantly as he ran towards the exit.

However, when he almost got to the door. Suddenly a quick movement occurred right behind him but, he did not pay attention to it at all. Then, just as he was about to open the door, a large white snake appeared from the right and immediately covered his gaze from the exit that was already in front of him.

He did not know that the great serpent was Xun Ji'an who had changed his form back into a great serpent so that Mu Chen Xiao would not go out of this banquet while they were with each other speak.

”....”

"Xiao Xiao's,... Where are you going? This banquet is not finished. You don't want to welcome me here?" Xun Ji'an said in the form of a snake with a voice that sounded very heavy and terrible, different when he became human.

”....”

A few moments later,...

Inside Zhao Bingyan's room was extremely quiet with no annoying sound there. Suddenly, there began to sound the voice of someone who started to complain because of the pain on his face. "Ouch, man,... Duh! Slowly little! It hurts you know!" Said Xun Ji'an who was currently in a battered state after she was severely beaten by Mu Chen Xiao because she had made her trauma recur against the impromptu attack carried out by a snake.

"You really look fucked up. Supposedly, you didn't change your shape into a big snake. It will definitely scare everyone who sees you." Clearly Zhao Bingyan while backing up a medicine that would heal the bruises that were all over her body.

"Yan-Yan's right. I should have been scared like that. I didn't know that it was traumatizing Xiao Xiao Xiao to relapse. Surely, I should apologize to him later." Said Xun Ji'an with a tone of regret.

"Are you here just to visit?" Zhao Bingyan asked.

Xun Ji'an folded her hands and thought for a while. "Initially I only intended to visit Yan-Yan. However, when I've been lingering here for a long time, there are some things I don't understand." Xun Ji'an replied. "... The students here were indeed polite and they were very similar to ordinary people. However, after I touched Xiao Xiao for the first time, there was something strange about him. Behind his front hair that was always pushed forward, he hid a seal of Liu fire that only the four Xingyue Kings could do. I was wondering. Actually, what's going on here?"

Zhao Bingyan was stunned when she heard him and she said back, "Yes, you're right. On his forehead was the Liu fire seal that Shang Ren had put on when the Yin Lang Sect attacked us. I don't know what his goal is but clearly, Shang Ren is someone who is so obsessed with strength. I'm afraid that one day, Xiao'er will lose control and become a weapon for Shang Ren."

Xun Ji'an glanced at Zhao Bingyan and asked back, "Wouldn't the seal hinder her from cultivating it completely?" Xun Ji'an asked. "... In the Jinya mountains, there were many spirits that might be able to help him to cultivate well. They were all spirits that were hundreds of years old and some of them had lived when the four Xingyue kings were still alive."

"Then, you want to take Xiao'er with you?"

Xun Ji'an slightly laughed and then replied, "Of course with your permission. I can't just run away with someone who already has a teacher. It was just like I kidnapped someone who meant so much to his Master. However, if this is a favor to himself, I don't mind if I have to take him back to the Jinya mountains and meet the spirits there."

What Xun Ji'an said was indeed a bit of a point as well. If only Mu Chen Xiao remained here with the meager amount of time Zhao Bingyan added on, Li Chu Yi also seemed reluctant to teach Mu Chen Xiao anything. Maybe it will be a failure that will be experienced by him. Perhaps, he will remain at the level of Young Master level of level three and will get bullying from all of his Senior Sisters.

After he lingered in thought, Zhao Bingyan finally replied, "Perhaps, that's what he should have done long ago. Let him be a disciple of the spirits of the Jinya mountains. It was the best choice for him."
