The Xiao Clan, was now in a mess and a piercing alarm sound had been ringing nonstop for a long time. This was what Xiao Che wanted... Other than torturing Xiao Yulong, burning down the hall within the Xiao Clan was another reason that forced the Xiao Clan to issue an Order to gather... Under the Order, everyone guarding the back mountains should return as well.
As he had expected, he did not need to go far to see the four members of the Xiao Clan impatiently advancing towards the Clan. They rushed past him, heading straight towards the general direction of the Xiao Clan.
Xiao Che sped up his pace and headed straight for the Reflection Gorge.
The Reflection Gorge was an enclosed area that only the Xiao Clan used to punish the offenders of their clan. The inside is dark and damp; in summer, it is very hot and in winter, it is as cold as ice. Fortunately, due to its narrow entrance, it was unlikely that an extremely cruel Beast would enter.
In Xiao Che's memories, not many people had ever been imprisoned in the Reflection Gorge and the longest prison period had also never been more than two months. However, even when the members of the Xiao Clan knew that Xiao Lingxi was being framed, they still wanted to lock them up for fifteen years….
Fifteen years.. How long does one have in this life? Currently Xiao Lingxi was only fifteen years old. If he had always been locked inside, then the most beautiful period of his life would only have been spent under this dark and cold loneliness.
As he canceled the pill busting and looked back, Xiao Che stared at the entrance of the Reflection Gorge and clenched his hands tightly together... How could he possibly let little grandfather and aunt continue to be locked up in this place... However, he now though basically wanted to save them but did not yet have the ability. He had no other choice but to look helplessly, endure, and hate ...
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Che walked forward. Without its concealment, its progress naturally created the sound of footsteps. The sound of his footsteps caught Xiao Lie's attention in the Reflection Gorge which automatically looked outside warily. As his gaze met with Xiao Che, he suddenly became startled and involuntarily shouted: "Che'er!!"
"Aah!"
The startled voice of a young girl was also heard, followed by hurried footsteps. Xiao Lingxi's silhouette immediately appeared beside Xiao Che; her skin was slightly haggard and her hair was a bit messy. Upon seeing Xiao Che, he covered his lips with his fingers and stood on the spot. A split second later, large amounts of teardrops began to pool in his eyes...
"Che'er!" As he shouted, he quickly ran forward and threw himself into Xiao Che's chest. He used both of his hands to hug her tightly and shouted loudly. He had the impression that since he would be imprisoned for fifteen years, and ever since Xiao Che was expelled from the Xiao Clan, he would never see him again until at least fifteen years. Not expecting him to suddenly appear before his eyes, as if he was just an illusion.
Xiao Lie walked over and all over his face was an emotional expression: “Che'er…. How …. How are you doing here? Did the Xiao Clan allow you to return?"
Xiao Che shook his head and patted Xiao Lingxi on the back: “I quietly slipped back…. But rest assured grandfather, something big has happened in the Xiao Clan so everyone is called to return. No one will find me.
Xiao Lie nodded. He did not even bother to ask what happened to the Xiao Clan. He had completely given up on the Xiao Clan, even if the Xiao Clan were to perish, there would be no major change in his expression.
There are many caves in the Reflection Gorge that are deep or shallow. The decorations inside were very simple, and only a few stone tables could be seen with just a glance. Xiao Lingxi's cry became chaotic, Xiao Che did not stop her from crying continuously. He might want to let go of all his grievances, fears, anxieties, and doubts at will; otherwise, he might fall into a depression because he had stayed here for quite a long time… After all, she was still a fifteen-year-old little girl.
Xiao Che sat facing Xiao Lie in front of the stone table. Next to him, both of Xiao Lingxi's hands held tightly and stuck to her arms as her little head leaned against her shoulder. He did not care that Xiao Lie was also beside them and was unwilling to loosen his grip, as if afraid that he would disappear again from his world.
"After you've been imprisoned here, have they done anything to you?" Xiao Che asked worriedly.
Xiao Lie shook his head and comfortably laughed: “Keep. Fairy Chu of the Eternal Cloud Palace hinted that she would protect us from the Xiao Sect before she left. With the support of this powerful force, how could they possibly dare to harm me or Xi'er? After the members of the Xiao Sect leave, they won't even dare anymore; after all, I do have a reputation as the number one expert of the Floating Cloud city here, he. he.”
"Good." Xiao Che nodded, as his heart felt a little more grateful to teacher Xia Qingyue.
Xia Qingyue is a good wife; to the end, she did not tear up the marriage license.” Xiao Lie said with a somewhat melancholic expression.
Xiao Che silently nodded his head.
For a moment there was silence between the three. After going through the calamity that came today, their fate must have been reversed. Even though they had a thousand words to say in their hearts, they did not know where to start….
“Grandfather, I want to know..”.
"You want to ask who your real parents are, right?" Xiao Lie said as he immediately continued his sentence with a calm expression on his face.
En. Grandpa, you know something, right?
Xiao Lingxi also raised her eyes as she stared in wonder at Xiao Lie.
Xiao Lie quietly watched Xiao Che for a long time until he sighed lightly, and slowly closed his eyes.
“At first I felt that this secret would remain in the heart for life, and that the second person would never know it…. Now the Xiao Clan cannot tolerate you, and you are an adult, knowing this can be considered a good thing; finding one's true roots, is also the role of his descendants.”
“Your biological father; his surname is Yun...”.
