The Sky Poison Pearl
Xiao Che Promise

Xiao Che's words left Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi confused for a long time. However, immediately after, Xiao Lingxi shook her head and her misty eyes with tears looked at her: “Che'er, you don't need to do that. I just want you to live a normal and peaceful life. It's okay as long as you're just protecting yourself…. When the day of my release comes, I will definitely come looking for you…. However, in any case, you should not do such a foolish thing; or something dangerous.”

In his eyes, he was still a boy who needed his protection. After listening to his statement.the fact that the thought was on his mind, was enough. How could he possibly be willing to let her risk her life, for any danger, for them?

"Don't worry. Of course I will protect myself well.” Xiao Che smiled as he looked at her: “Because little grandfather and aunt are here waiting for me. Because it's…. I haven't fulfilled the promise I made to little aunt.

"Promise?" Xiao Lingxi's bright eyes swayed slightly as she looked at him in surprise.

Xiao Che did not explain and walked in front of Xiao Lie. He knelt on his knees and kowtowed heavily: “Grandfather, I am your grandson, Xiao Lie, and have been under your protection for sixteen years, but now it's time for me to spread my wings and fly. You are such a great grandfather that this granddaughter of yours will not continue to humiliate you by remaining trash forever. Before returning, you must.. take care of yourself.”

Goody…. Nice one!" Xiao Lie slowly nodded his head as his voice trembled and tears appeared in both of his eyes. He advanced to help Xiao Che stand up, took out a wooden tablet with a white tassel hanging from his body and placed it in Xiao Che's hands: “Che'er, the, The Xiao Clan has taken you out and there is no place for you in the Floating Cloud city. Your blood vessels are broken and you have never once been out of the Floating Cloud city in your entire life. Although I was very worried.The look in your eyes made me feel comfortable and relieved. If you don't have a purpose, then grab this tablet and go to the City called 'New Moon', and ask someone named Sikong Han.

“Sikong Han came to Floating Cloud city a few years ago and because of a certain situation, he owes me a favor, and thus gave me this tablet. After you find him in New Moon city, give him this tablet to look at and tell him that you are my grandson. Maybe he will arrange a place to stay.”

Even after saying she was "calm" and "relieved", there was no way she could hide her worries and worries in her gaze and expression. This granddaughter who barely had any strength or experience outside of Floating Cloud city could only stay outside from now on, with no one to rely on. How can he feel comfortable? How could he not be heartbroken.

Xiao Che clasped the old wooden tablet in the middle of his hand and nodded loudly. After that he said: “Before I leave, first I want to pay my respects to…. Uncle Xiao.”

"En." Xiao Lie nodded his head, pleased.

"Che'er!" As Xiao Che turned his body, Xiao Lingxi once again gripped him tightly with both hands, her gaze full of unwillingness to let go almost and completely, melting Xiao Che's heart.

He yearned for her so much to be able to take Xiao Lingxi and Xiao Lie away. But even just having a heart full of intention and encouragement, she did not have the ability or qualifications to do that… At least in this dark place without daylight, they were still considered safe.

"Little aunt." Xiao Che lightly held Xiao Lingxi's hand and looked at her gently: “I can't bear to leave you, even more than how little aunt can't bear to leave me. So I will return in the shortest time possible… I swear, I will fulfill what I said that night….

Xiao Lingxi slowly softened her grip while Xiao Che's hand holding Xiao Lingxi also softened ... Then he turned his body and walked forward with slow steps, never turning around ... It was because he was afraid once he turned around, he would become unable to leave .. and he was even more afraid that once he turned around, he would become unable to leave, they would see two streams of uncontrollable tears flowing out as he turned his body around.

Grandpa…. In three years, I'll definitely be back…. Waitme!! Wait me!!!!

The promise…. The promise….

"If you're not my little aunt, I'll definitely marry you!"

Suddenly, Xiao Lingxi covered her mouth and in a split second, tried her best to hold back all her tears that were rushing like a flood.

The Xiao Clan Cemetery.

Standing in front of Xiao Ying's grave, Xiao Che's gaze was fixated on the old tombstone for a long time. Then he knelt down with both knees and kowtowed three times, his eyes filled with determination when he finished.

“Uncle Xiao, the great help you have done for the Yun family, I, Yun Che, will never forget it. If the time comes when I find out that my parents are still alive, I will try my best to find them, as well as the baby they brought back then. On the day when I finally obtain the power, I will find the person who killed you that day, and take revenge for you, and for grandfather!”

Xiao Che swore in front of Xiao Ying's grave and bowed again after waking up, before leaving with heavy strides.

“From now on, I am no longer Xiao Che... My name is Yun Che!”

The news of Xiao Yulong's torture shook the entire Xiao Clan, and caused unrest in the Xiao Clan for the rest of the night. Xiao Yunhai fainted for quite a while after his anger hit his heart and after waking up, like a madman, he ordered the entire clan to find the culprit. However, after searching all night, even the silhouette or trace of the culprit could not be found.

The best explanation was that it was the work of someone within the Xiao Clan!

Xiao Kuangyun was also very angry with this matter, but he was only angry for a moment because he only felt sorry for losing such an obedient and capable slave. He could get such a slave wherever he wanted. However, now he could not return Xiao Yulong, who currently did not resemble a human, so his choice naturally fell on the person who was second only to Xiao Yulong in "evaluation" yesterday.

Youngest grandson of Third Elder Xiao Ze —— Xiao Chengzhi.

If this were to happen, Xiao Ze and Xiao Chengzhi would definitely be overjoyed.

However the view of everyone in the clan towards Xiao Ze, changed. Especially Xiao Yunhai and Xiao Li; when he saw Xiao Ze, killing intent could be seen hidden deep within their eyes.

If it was really the members of the Xiao Clan who crippled Xiao Yulong, then Xiao Ze would be highly suspect.
