Chapter 181: Chapter 181 Recognizing Ancestors and Returning to the Clan (Part One)
The brilliant sunlight spilled into the hall from outside the door.
Madam Sheng Yue was talking with Xiao Tianyu, occasionally bursting into happy laughter. Suddenly, she caught sight of the girl approaching the door, her stunning face brimming with an even broader smile.
“Yue’er, your father and I were just discussing when to return to the Xiao Family, and then we’ll have you acknowledge your ancestors and join the clan. Your grandpa will surely be very happy to see you.”
Mu Ruyue looked at Madam Sheng Yue’s gentle face, a faint smile curving the corners of her lips, “After I finish arranging things here, I’ll go back with you.”
But it was only for a short visit…
She still had many things to do and couldn’t stay at the Xiao Family permanently.
Wuchen…
Suddenly, the image of those pain-filled, sorrow-laden purple eyes from last night flashed before Mu Ruyue’s eyes, as if her heart were pierced by sothing sharp.
The pain made her furrow her brows slightly.
Could that person be Wuchen?
If not Wuchen, then who else could it be?
“Dad, Mom, there’s sothing I want to ask you.”
Madam Sheng Yue and Xiao Tianyu exchanged a look before turning to Mu Ruyue, smiling gently, “Yue’er, just speak your mind.”
“I wonder if you’ve ever heard the na Bai Ze.”
Bai Ze, that man as handso as an immortal, the man she couldn’t forget. She always felt a sense of déjà vu with him, but frustratingly couldn’t rember where she had seen him before.
“Bai Ze?” Xiao Tianyu frowned slightly, “I rember there’s a record in ancient texts, Bai Ze seems to be the na of an ancient Fierce Beast.”
Ancient Fierce Beast?
Mu Ruyue was taken aback; that man didn’t seem fierce at all.
“Dad, do you know more details?”
Xiao Tianyu glanced at Mu Ruyue and sighed softly, “I’m not too clear about this myself, but it seems Bai Ze was once a powerful being in Central Province. He entered a pact with a human strong enough to accompany them in battles far and wide. Later, that human seed to vanish. So say the human died, others claim they ascended to godhood—there are various rumors. After that human disappeared, Bai Ze also vanished from the continent. After all, we’re not from Central Province, so we don’t know the specifics.”
Mu Ruyue raised an eyebrow.
It seed that to dispel the doubts in her heart, she needed to make a trip to Central Province…
Even though Mu Ruyue was not from this continent, she knew that Central Province was a place rife with chaos and brimming with innurable power-houses. If she wanted to go there, her current strength wouldn’t be enough…
“Give three days. I will arrange everything within these three days and then follow you to the Xiao Family.”
To be honest, Mu Ruyue didn’t want to go to the Holy Realm, but for Madam Sheng Yue, she still chose to acknowledge her ancestry…
——
The weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly.
Within the ancestral hall of the Holy Realm Xiao Family, Old Master Xiao sighed softly, his gaze occasionally drifting outside, a touch of anxiousness gradually appearing on his aged face.
Tianyu and Yu’er had been gone for so ti now, why hadn’t they returned? Could it be that the granddaughter had encountered a problem, and that’s what caused the delay?
Gradually, the old master beca restless.
A decade ago, if he had been more assertive, perhaps these events wouldn’t have unfolded; it was because he couldn’t suppress those stubborn old fools that he gave the evil-doers their chance.
In the end, he was the one who failed that couple and their children…
It had been more than a decade. These years were equally unbearable for him, tornted every mont by the fear that his family’s blood was being bullied outside…
