The Sky Poison Pearl
The Fifth Panatua Statement

When hearing Xiao Yulong's words made Xiao Lie's entire body tremble, his pupils instantly contracted as he dumbfoundedly stood there.

Seeing Xiao Yulong's sinister smile, how could he not have realized that the muttering on that day, in front of the tomb of his son Xiao Ying, had all been heard!

What Xiao Yulong said caused the crowd to instantly become in an uproar. Everyone's jaws opened as they shifted their focus to Xiao Lie and when they saw Xiao Lie's unusual reaction, the astonishment in their hearts suddenly enlarged several times. With this, the voice of the discussion also began to increase.

Xiao Che was completely flustered; when he noticed Xiao Lie's reaction, he was fixated on the spot. Xiao Lingxi also had a strange expression, and looked at Xiao Lie blankly.

“Yulong! What is this about?" Xiao Yunhai frowned as he asked solemnly.

Xiao Yulong turned his head 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 was standing in front of the grave of his son, Xiao Ying and muttered something to himself… that Xiao Che was actually not Xiao Ying's biological son!”

From Xiao Yulong's words just now and Xiao Lie's reaction, the crowd had already guessed the truth, 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 further widened their eyes, with faces full of disbelief.

“This...” Xiao Yunhai also had a face full of shock. He seriously said at once: “Yulong! This is a big issue that concerns our bloodline, you absolutely must not speak carelessly!!”

Xiao Yulong firmly replied: “Of course I dare not lie about such a big matter. As for the truth, father will know after father asks Fifth Elder how you have heard what I said clearly, if you have a clear conscience, then, 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 becoming more bitter and raspy, he did not say a word or give an explanation for quite a long time, it was the greatest pride of his life, and even if he had graduated continuously, he would never have sworn on the honor of the late Xiao Ying, if that was the price.

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

“Dad, how could Che'er not your biological grandson 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. His expression silently turned decrepit, and in the blink of an eye, he suddenly aged for over ten years.

“Fifth Elder, how could that happen? Are the words Yulong spoke true?” Xiao Yunhai anxiously asked Xiao Lie while frowning.

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

"Grandfather…"

As Xiao Che walked in front of Xiao Lie, every step he took was extremely dense. When he saw the face that looked extremely old in an instant, Xiao Che felt a pain in his heart. He tried his best to remain calm, and asked gently: "Grandfather...is this really...right?"

Xiao Lie lowered his head and looked at Xiao Che. She smiled bitterly and in her misty eyes, there was a complicated expression that Xiao Che could not clearly see: “Although you are not my biological grandson, but for all these years, you are not my grandson, I've always treated you like my own grandson. ”.

If the previous silence signified his approval, in that case, this sentence was a confirmation that had now been clearly heard by everyone!

The Xiao Clan instantly became in an uproar. Being in the Xiao Clan for so many years, this was undoubtedly, the most shocking news ever heard before.

Xiao Che stood there expressionlessly without making a sound for a moment, as if he had lost his soul. Xiao Lingxi was also stunned; she shook her head angrily, rushed towards Xiao Lie and restlessly shouted: “Dad! What are you saying.. Che'er grew up with me from a young age, he is the biological son of my older brother Xiao Ying, how could he not be your own grandson..

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. Grandfather 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 whether we have a blood relationship or not; our feelings will never change.

"Che'er ..." Xiao Lingxi's eyes immediately clouded.

Whereas on the other hand, some crazy dogs who suddenly learned of Xiao Che's big “ weakness started barking wildly.

“Truly ridiculous! It's ridiculous! The youngster who was raised by our Xiao Clan for sixteen full years, does not belong to our Xiao Clan, and is actually a bastard who carries the blood of an outsider… This was arguably the biggest joke in the history of the Xiao Clan!” First Elder Xiao Li roared with a face full of anger.

“Xiao Lie! You actually brought the bastard to our Xiao Clan, and let our Xiao Clan raise him for a full sixteen years! How do you want us ... even scold you! Ouch!” Third Elder Xiao Ze let out a heavy sigh.
