“Dad!” Wen Fei Fei finally flew into a panic. Reaching to catch her father’s sleeve, her eyes showed horror like never before.
As the daughter of the Wen Clan, how could this bitch not know the importance of the Water Clan? In this country, almost every martial family or power must submit to the Water Clan less they be crushed by their fellow peers!
If I knew he was the little young lord of the Water Clan then I would never have said those things. Why did I do that? Will he order his people to kill me? What will happen? No! NOO!!!
Thinking up to here, Wen Fei Fei’s expression was bordering on the line of tears. She’s ready to cry and lose her mind.
Bai Ran the aunt heard this also of course since she’s so close. Turning to stare at her niece Bai Yan: “Yan Yan, Xiachen he’s… is he really the little young master of the Water Clan? Then your relationship with Xiachen… are you two really parent and child?”
They had only heard of Bai Yan say Bai Xiachen being her son, they never heard anything about them being blood related. Perhaps a step-son? After all, a twenty something woman having an eight-year-old son was difficult to imagine. It’s not unheard of, just difficult to comprehend when it’s so close to home.
Bai Yan didn’t directly refute the idea, instead she looked down at her boy in thought for the proper wording: “He is indeed my son, there’s no question about that. As for his father…. I guess you can say he’s the young lord of the Water Clan.”
Di Cang came to Earth using a borrowed body and his own soul, therefore it’s technically correct to say the young lord was the steambun’s father. Sure, biologically it’s not, but the most important part wasn’t the genetics, it’s the bond they share and feeling they had for one another. Take for example adopted orphans, would a parent consider such a child not their own after building up a bond? Of course not!
“Mom, why can’t I understand anything what you’re saying?” Ling Lang rubbed his own temple with a frown, “What is the Water Clan? And what is the young lord? What does some other family have to do with ours?”
Bai Ran simply smiled bitterly before answering her own son: “Ling Lang, I only found out these things while your grandmother was still alive. The specifics I can’t tell you, but I can only say one thing: this Water Clan… no one can afford to provoke them.”
No one can provoke….
This warning made the flirt feel dizzy and light in the head because this would be the first time he’s ever heard his mother rate another family so highly. Who could possibly be so dangerous that they’re off limits? Wouldn’t that make that Water Clan more powerful than the four martial clans here in this city?
Thankfully Bai Ran had more head than his own son. Regarding that last bit, she only whispered it and made sure others couldn’t hear.
The flirt grew even more shocked in the eye as a result, In this world… there really are people whose able to train until they’re gods?
“Mom is only telling you this because you’re part of their world now. Don’t tell your dad and sister though. Whether or not Smile wants to be part of it will be her choosing, I want that girl to pick her own future. As for your dad… me and him, we just want to be normal people and live out our lives.”
Ling Lang nodded stiffly at that request, feeling a surge of courage like he’s never had before.
If there’s really a way into godhood then I will step into it. I’m a man and a man must fight to the end!
