The Sky Poison Pearl
Main Perpetrator

If Xiao Che's real life was not used in exchange for his own life, why was Xiao Ying killed? How did Xiao Ying's wife follow her love? And Xiao Lie's wife later died of depression? How would Xiao Ying's son be laughed at as if he failed? Their whole family can be safe and secure, can live happily and peacefully. With Xiao Ying's unrivalled talent in Floating Cloud city and his father's unrivalled strength and prestige, his position in the Xiao Clan would be extremely high. Perhaps he was already the ruler of the Xiao Clan by now. Xiao Lie did not need to suffer from the arrogant appearance of others and instead was in a superior position. Not only would the four elders not humiliate him, if they were to face him, they would probably be as shy as a rat….

Xiao Ying had used his son's life to save him.… While he allowed himself, and his entire family suffered a cruel fate.

Yet these past sixteen years, Xiao Lie had never let go of anger or hatred towards him, the "principal perpetrator", but he was protecting and keeping her safe without a word. He gave her unconditional love, even after learning that her veins were damaged and even knowing that she would be a useless item for the rest of her life, he still loved her as usual. Perhaps, it was common for a grandfather to treat his own granddaughter like this; however, to treat another person's child like this, especially one that had caused the destruction of his family, it will demand a very big heart and open mind…

Xiao Che's heart trembled and his nose was sour... Like a father like a boy. Being a great man, it was no wonder he had a godly son like Xiao Ying. He could never repay this debt that he and his parents owed them all his life.

Xiao Che placed both of his hands on the side of the stone table as his fingers gripped him tighter and tighter. Looking at the sad eyes of Xiao Lie in front of him, for a moment, he did not know how to thank the person he had called grandfather all along. After a while, he finally said in a trembling voice: “Grandfather, I.. I. your affection and kindness, throughout my life, I will always.

“He. he..,” Xiao Lie chuckled gently and lovingly replied: “Che'er, I have been looking after you since a young age. Even if you are not one of my descendants, you are no different from the biological grandson in my heart. You also said that even though we have no blood relation, we will remain like family forever. Because we're family, everything that's happened, should have happened. I do not need gratitude, as long as you are safe and sound from now on; even if I have to be locked up here all my life, I will be free from worry.”

Xiao Che closed his mouth as his words of gratitude could no longer be spoken and after a while, he then nodded heavily. Right, he's my grandfather, now and forever! As long as he's around, I have to be devoted to him. When he's not around, I'll grieve for him and do whatever a grandson has to do.

As he watched her, Xiao Lie complacently nodded his head and continued: “You must have wanted to know more about what happened back then. However, Xiao Ying did not say much about your parents. As for why they were being hunted, Xiao Ying only told me that it was because they had one of the 'Heavenly Treasures' on them. He even told me that the three words 'Heavenly Treasure' were a great taboo, and should not be spoken before outsiders.

Heavenly Treasure? Xiao Che firmly remembered this name.

“Since your parents left, I have never received any information from them for the past sixteen years. I once thought that if they were still alive, they would know that the baby they were carrying was not their own child, and would return here to exchange for the child they had when it was safe… I waited for a year after the year, but they never came back. But.. This does not prove that they no longer exist in this world. Since you were a child, I always tell you to never remove the pendant from your neck. It was because when Xiao Ying traded you for his own son, it was the only one in your body. If your parents are still alive, maybe it could be an opportunity and help you to get to know each other.”.

If they really still existed in this world, would Xiao Ying's child have been alive ever since?

As the night grew darker, the time for the Star Removal Pill to lose its effectiveness gradually drew closer and it was time for Xiao Che to leave.

“Grandfather, little aunt.. I have to go now.” Although he was reluctant to part, he had no choice but to say this difficult sentence that he did not want to say.

Xiao Lie nodded his head and looked outside: "You should leave this place immediately, if you get caught, it will become even more troublesome."

"Ah? Ka.... you go?” As fast as lightning, Xiao Lingxi raised her head, and gripped her tightly with both hands.

As he felt a sense of unwillingness in Xiao Lingxi's gaze, Xiao Che's heart felt bitter.... He really wished he could take away Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi with him... However, with his current condition, what right did he have to take them with him? Even if they left, what did he use to protect them in the outside world? Instead they will protect him …

He stood up and held Xiao Lingxi's hand. He looked into her eyes and declared word for word: “Little aunt, I must go. But no need to worry, I will return. In three years, I will definitely be back! At that time, I will accept the injustice and pain you both suffered and return it to them a thousandfold… I will make the entire Xiao Clan kneel down and beg the two of you to leave this Reflection Pit!!”

Xiao Che said each word with determined determination. He did not attempt to comfort Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi, nor was he joking; it was more an absolute decisiveness that simultaneously forced him to complete that decision no matter what.
