“Look, you realize that Bai'er's development is much faster than all the other children, even surpassing all of us and our predecessors.”
Seeing everything nod in justification, Xiu Mu Lian continued.
“If it was only in the clan alone, Bai'er's development would definitely be stifled, so I suggested two of us would all be guards, while Bai'er would surround this forest in search of experience.”
The faces of all the clan members instantly beamed hearing that.
“This is all I agree with, let me take care of Bai'er,” cried Du Jian raised his hand first.
“Nake it, let me accompany Bai'er, because I memorize this place far more than you,” Meng Chen snorted.
“That's not true, it's the more experienced people who should accompany Bai'er,” Lu Yusan argued.
...
Xiu Bai who was looking at the debates they were all from the first moment he sat down was just silent.
Not that he was bored or lazy to respond, but because he was currently busy with his own world.
“What you said first is true, make your own goals, follow your heart, don't listen to anyone else. Even so, at least follow their advice, because they are members of your family who always worry about you.” Xiu Bai muttered inwardly.
“And the last word of the mother is, never want to lose with the memories of the past, if you keep thinking about it, it will make you burdened. But I'm sure if there are some parts of the memory that must be important to you. So you just have to go through it.” Xiu Bai replicated what his mother said.
“Alright Bai'er decided,” shouted Xiu Bai which made all the Asura clan members who were arguing startled until they glanced towards Xiu Bai.
“Have you decided who you're taking the young master with? If so choose me,” cried Meng She.
“Don't him, just pick me,” don't want to lose Du Jian and Meng Chen hastily hugged their hands.
Xiu Bai who saw their behavior was a little confused, it was because he had no idea and had never heard what they were discussing.
But Xiu Bai quickly shook his head. “I decided to go alone, if you guys come with me, then you guys must be talking this, it's to hold myself back. It makes me not free to move and it will also make my development restrained.”
“So I better go alone, of course I know my limits, so dad, grandma, uncle and aunt can all calm down. If I meet a monster beast that I cannot fight, then I will avoid it, if necessary, I will start from the forest that is on the outskirts that father once said, because there only filled by weak wild beasts.” Xiu Bai looked at his grandmother with a gaze pleading for him to be allowed.
He realized that his grandmother was the one who spoiled him the most.
Everyone immediately pouted hearing what Xiu Bai said.
The moment they wanted the prostheses, Xiu Mu Lian immediately smiled proudly.
“This new grandson of mine is handsome, strong and intelligent, able to take his own ideas and path.” Xiu Mu Lian.
Eh..!!
Everyone could only open their mouths wide, including Xiu Lou.
“I..Mother.”
“Great Principal.”
“Be quiet, what Bai'er said was the truest and most I have been waiting for, he was able to take a quiet step, and of course you are aware of that, no, if these are the characteristics of future leaders who can guide us to endless happiness and able to fight enemies without many casualties in our clan.” Shouted Xiu Mu Lian loudly.
Xiu Bai's face immediately beamed as his proposal was fully supported, he now smiled mockingly towards his father and all the members of his clan who were currently putting on ugly faces.
Xiu Mu Lian's face instantly brightened when praised, happily rubbing her son's hair.
“What do you guys look at huh, disperse,” snort Xiu Mu Lian.
Instantly all the members of the Asura clan darted away to their respective places. They realized that if the tone of the voice of the great Elder had sounded like that, then it would not be good for them if it remained there.
Only Xiu Lou was still in his place.
“Mother, what does this really have to do? Least-”
“Do you want to hinder the development of your own son huh, you know not if everyone loves Bai'er very much, and you must realize that when Bai'er wants to fight a beast like before, you know that, they must have helped him out of fear that Bai'er would get hurt. How can your son develop if it continues like that,” cut Xiu Mu Lian in a cold tone.
Xiu Lou was silent at once, and he went somewhere, leaving Xiu Mu Lian and Xiu Bai behind.
Xiu Bai who saw the look on his father's face was sad when he left, now felt uncomfortable.
“Grandmother-”
Shhh..!!
“He's old Bai'er, grandma sure if your dad will understand later.” Xiu Mu Lian said, covering Xiu Bai's mouth with her right hand.
Xiu Bai nodded, but in his heart he intended to apologize later before he left.
In the evening, right now all the members of the Asura clan who were having dinner, were enjoying their meal in silence.
No one let out a word, only the sound of chewing and the murmur of the night wind.
Xiu Bai who was determined to apologize immediately got up.
“Ehem, first of all, Bai'er apologize to all of you especially dad.” Xiu Bai.
“Bai'er has disappointed you, but Bai'er asks you to please, please understand, do you not think about Bai'er's heart as well. If you don't think about it, it means that you are selfish, it means that you are only selfish of yourself,” Xiu Bai said in a sad tone.
Everyone, especially Xiu Lou instantly came to a realization. They immediately lowered their heads because they were always thinking about their ego without thinking about Xiu Bai's feelings.
”Son, pardon me, I now understand the purpose of your grandmother's words, I am sure you will become a leader who will become a legend never forgotten in our clan when you lead someday.” Xiu Lou said proudly.
“Hemm..!! Forgive your uncle too, you always think about our feelings, but we never think about your feelings. Your uncle is now enlightened by you,” said Du Jian and Meng Chen in unison.
One by one the members of the Asura clan apologized and were proud of Xiu Bai's broad and open thinking.
Xiu Mu Lian was also now visibly teary. “Look at your grandson dear, he looks just like you,” muttered Xiu Mu Lian inwardly recalling her late husband who had long since died.
***
Next day.
Early in the morning all the members of the Asura clan gathered in front of the clan gate. They are now one by one giving Xiu Bai provisions for his journey.
“Be careful son, do not force yourself, if you are tired then rest, if you are hungry then eat-”
The plot..!!
