17 A secret child of third Grandpa

Rudra moved up the stairs and reached the hallway that took him to the entrance of the tower, he debated with other residents of his brain whether or not to search the tower for some goodies.

At last, they decided it was not worth the time.

"If there was something in the tower I'm sure Han Zu would have already yoinked it", Rudra assured himself and walked out the soapy film and started swimming up towards the surface of the lake.

"Yo, didn't I come here originally to catch some fishes.", Rudra sped off towards a school of fishes.

After an hour Rudra walked out on the bank of Dim Pearl lake. carrying a pair of big fishes in both of his hands. Both of these fishes were about half his size in length.

"I wonder if the lake would start producing the pearls again", Rudra was pondering whether he could use his clan members to fish for Moon Pearls while glancing at the calm and peaceful Dim Pearl lake.

He was certain that the lake would start producing the pearls again after all the problems Han Zu had been taken care of by him and with no source of outlet for the energy absorbed by the tower ie, the moon essence would naturally flow into the lake.

As he was busy brainstorming he felt the wind on his crotch and he shuddered,

"Wait why am I naked."

He quickly searched through now his space ring to find some spare robes and quickly put it on.

"The sun's going down let's go back home first", Rudra dashed towards the Giri Manor.

Before the sky turned dark and the several moons of this planet came out Rudra reached the entrance of the manor. He entered into the building only to be greeted by one of the children

"Who are you Mister, Do u want me to call someone for you?"

"Ha Ha, kid don't tell me you forgot your third elder...."

"That jokes not funny mister, Third grandpa has been missing for months...", the child spat out

"No, I... I...."Rudra stammered while he cursed himself inwardly for forgetting that he had his body remodeled, nobody would accept the fact that their grandpa suddenly reversed his age to become younger.

He was racking his brain to think of a reply fast and how to get out of this quagmire of a conversation.

Suddenly more people started coming from inside the manor to the entrance.

"You look familiar.", he suddenly heard a loud voice coming from an old man which he recognized as the second elder in Giri clan Miller.

Miller stood face to face with Rudra scrutinizing his face, when he suddenly started laughing

"HA HA HA, Shin don't be rude to your uncle."

"....." Rudra turned stiff 'What is this idiot thinking', but before he could intervene Miller continued

"Ah the resemblance is uncanny you look just like the third brother we always knew he was hiding something from us. Let me take a closer look at you, my nephew."

Miller's word stunned everyone present there.

Old Man Roebuck walked out of his room towards Rudra,

"That bastard Rishi I knew he was up to no good, to sire a secret family and not even tell me about it, What's your name kid?"

Rudra who was thinking that this development was favorable for him in the long run quickly replied

"Rudra I'm called Rudra."

"How old are you kid?"

[16 tell them you are 16 ]

"16...."

"Hmmm looks like you are quite young"

"Are you his son or his grandson?"

"He was my father", Rudra was grimacing within 'one has to tell more than a hundred lies to cover up a single lie', but this was better than explaining to them that he had cultivated a Demon Sutra.

"Shin settle your uncle in one of the empty rooms of the manor he must be tired from his journey"

As he walked off with Shin, he could hear other clan members whispering to each other about their third Grandpa having a secret family away from the clan.
