The Sky Poison Pearl
Letter From the Xiao Sect

It was still morning. The sky had just begun to clear when the master of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Yunhai, was awakened from his deep sleep by the sound of an urgent knock on his door. “Master clan! Clan master, are you awake?

Xiao Yunhai opened his eyes, glanced at the light outside and then asked, with a frown: "This morning, what happened?"

“This... that's Xiao... Sect Xiao! Letter from the Xiao Sect!” From outside the door came an excited trembling voice.

"What's? Sect Xiao?!”

This master of the Xiao Clan, one of the most powerful people in the Floating Cloud city, jumped from his bed as if being stabbed by a dagger into his butt. He carelessly put on his clothes and, even he did not care to straighten his hair, opened the door hurriedly, grabbing the Xiao Clan disciples who were outside. He shouted with wide eyes: “You said what the Xiao Sect is? Sect Xiao?!”

"Yes! It must be the Xiao Sect!” The Xiao Clan disciple swallowed with great difficulty, nodded with all his strength, and then gave the letter in his hand to Xiao Yunhai. “This letter has the eagle seal of the Xiao Sect! In this Blue Wind Empire, no one dared to forge the emblem of the Xiao.” Sect

As soon as he saw the celestial eagle seal on the letter, Xiao Yunhai's entire body trembled. He violently grabbed the letter, then, with his hands shaking violently, and quickly but carefully tore it to open the paper inside.

Although the name of the Xiao Sect only had one word difference when compared to its Xiao Clan, one word was like the difference between heaven and earth! The Xiao Clan barely counted as a leading presence in Floating Cloud City, apalgi in the Sky Continent as a whole, it was simply a nameless existence. Yet the Xiao Sect was one of the four strongest sects in the Blue Wind Empire! They had the same level of prestige as the Heaven Sword House, the Eternal Cloud Palace, and the Heaven Burning Clan. They were existences that even the Xiao Clan could not hope for.

Frankly, a useless servant in the Xiao Sect would not even feel the need to respect the Xiao Clan master.

However, there was a connection between the Xiao Clan and the Xiao Sect. It was because the person who founded the Xiao Clan in Floating Cloud City a hundred and sixty years ago, Xiao Bieli, at that time was a person from the Xiao Sect, he was an abandoned disciple, and, as rumors circulated. However, Xiao Bieli was the result of the rape of one of the servant girls of the Xiao Sect while drunk. Since childhood, his appearance was ordinary and his talent was lacking. Furthermore, he attracted a lot of gossip, causing the elder to be extremely displeased. After reaching adulthood, his strength was the lowest among all his peers. Letting him remain in the Xiao Sect would only cause the old man more humiliation so he found an opportunity to send him to that trash can, Floating Cloud City and help him establish the Xiao Clan. From then on he no longer paid attention to Xiao Bieli and cut off all contact between them and the Xiao Sect.

But Xiao Bieli remained born in the proud Xiao Sect. He spent his entire life painstakingly developing his strength, and hoped to gain recognition, and thus one day gain their approval and one day return to the Xiao Sect. After he died, this desire was passed down through the Xiao Clan from one generation to the next, and became the ultimate goal of every generation of the Xiao Clan. Especially among the clan masters of every generation, all without exception hoping

That they could rely on the little blood of the Xiao Sect in them to forge a relationship, no matter how fragile, with the Xiao Sect. But after so many years, the Xiao Clan had never produced anyone who could fulfill this desire. The talk of the Xiao Sect for them was like talking about the Heavenly Palace, something they could not even hope to achieve.

After reading the contents of the letter word for word, Xiao Yunhai's face was completely red, his breathing erratic. He pointed outside with trembling fingers, with a hoarse voice saying: “Quickly... quickly tell the elders to immediately gather in the main hall! Let them know that we need to discuss the big news about the future of our Xiao Clan..Quick!”

"Ah yes!" The Xiao Clan disciple immediately replied and ran away in panic.

Xiao Che carefully opened the door, a red blanket in hand, only to find that Xia Qingyue was already sitting by the bedside, awake and dressed. Her beautiful eyes that were as calm as water, watched her even without a small ripple.

Xiao Che immediately threw the blanket over the table. With an ordinary face and heart not pounding, he calmly asked: “Wife, you wake up once in the morning. Did you sleep well last night?"

"Aren't you going to tell me where you went last night?" Xia Qingyue faintly asked, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

"Not needed." Xiao Che stretched his body and then started straightening his hair using a mirror: “Because I know you must not be interested.”

Xia Qingyue: “......?”

Even though he had fallen asleep in the back mountains with Xiao Lingxi last night, when he woke up, his mood was unusually good. After she straightened her clothes and hair slightly, it returned to the image of her handsome son. Xiao Che stood up to go and said: “Let's go. This is the morning of the first day we should pay respect to grandfather..This you will not refuse, right?

Xia Qingyue stood up without a word and stepped out of the door in front of her. Xiao Che relaxed his shoulders and quickly followed him out.

Xiao Lie woke up early every day, and today was no exception. Upon entering Xiao Lie's courtyard, the first thing they saw was her watering her flowers and plants. As he saw Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue enter, he gently smiled. "You're coming."

Under Xiao Lie's attentive gaze, Xiao Che quickly reached out and held Xia Qingyue's small hand. Xia Qingyue's hands were soft and delicate, yet also cool to the touch, probably because she was trained in the Frozen Cloud Art. Xia Qingyue's entire body stiffened. Just before he was about to remove his hand from Xiao Che, he saw Xiao Lie's gaze, and had no choice but to secretly tolerate it. He let Xiao Che walk over to Xiao Lie with him, while holding hands.
