Chapter 657 Family Indeed.
Shi Lang watched Han Kim hand over a transparent crystal in the hand of Yu Xiedi. Yu Mingxue's voice sounded in his mind, "That is a blood crystal. The blood of my mother binds it. If the little girl is related to us, the crystal will glow..."
She had yet to finish it when the crystal started to glow with golden light. The people were shocked, and Shi Lang smiled. He did not know why but had a bittersweet feeling now that Yu Xiedi had discovered her family. He was happy that the girl found her family, but at the same time, he was afraid that the girl might go away from him.
Han Kim had covered her mouth, and old man Yu was gazing at the crystal in a daze. Shi Lang said something to Yu Mingxue, and she hurriedly approached Yu Xiedi. She knew that the girl had a delicate mentality. She said, "Xiao Yu, why don't you go and play outside with Yao'er and Jingjing? We have a lot of good places in the garden."
Yu Xiedi shook her head and said, "I want to go and train."
Yu Mingxue was surprised, and Shi Lang said, "Yes, you can go, take Yao'er and Jingjing with you. They can train with you. Also, remember not to harm each other. Okay?"
Yu Xiedi pursed her lips, but then she nodded. Yu Mingxue told her children to look after Yu Xiedi, and they left. The old people reacted instinctively and wanted to keep Yu Xiedi back, but Yu Mingxue said, "Father, Mother, wait."
The two realized they had lost composure and took a deep breath to calm down. Yu Mingxue sighed and said, "You might have scared the child just now."
The two elders nodded, and Yu Xian said, "Young friend Ace, tell us about your experience. Please."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "That is my intention, Senior."
They sat around a table, and Shi Lang told them about his experience with the thorn bandits. He described the way these people stayed under the ground to avoid the spiritual sense of the experts.
Han Kim said, "Young friend Ace, can you tell me more about Xiao Di?"
Shi Lang understood that the lady had just given Yu Xiedi a nickname. He nodded and told her about the experiences of the little child in that god-forsaken place. Yu Xian clenched his fists, and his eyes were turning red. Shi Lang sighed and said, "Senior, that man and all his people have died in the worst way possible. I did not leave anyone with a shred of demonic thought behind. Only Xiao Yu survived that array, so I guess it was a blessing."
The old man nodded and stood up. He bowed to Shi Lang and said, "Young Friend, I am thankful for you to rescue my granddaughter. Do not worry, and we will take it from here. Thank you for bringing her to us."
Shi Lang raised his brow, and his gaze turned cold. Yuwan sensed this change, and he was shocked. He was not blaming Shi Lang because Yu Xian had over-stepped his boundary. Yuwan had introduced Yu Xiedi to him as Shi Lang's master. He said, 'Thank you for bringing her to them.' What was that supposed to mean?
He was not alone in this opinion. Yu Mingxue was surprised, too. At first, she did not think that Shi Lang would mind much, even if her father were wrong. He was a person with the cultivation of an Immortal Emperor. However, she was wrong, and Shi Lang did not hide his offended expression.
Yu Xian also sensed this and raised his head. He frowned and said, "Could it be that I said anything wrong?"
Shi Lang tilted his head,, looked the old man right in the eye,, and said, "You think just because you are older and had extra time to cultivate, whatever you spout from your mouth will be correct?"
lightsΝοvεl ƈοm His tone was like a slap across the old man's face. Yu Xian released his Immortal Emperor-level pressure to suppress this bold young man. However, Shi Lang was not only ineffective. He also stood up from the chair with lightning covering his body completely.
His aura was not losing out to that of an Immortal Emperor. He said, "You think I will do whatever you say just because I am an Immortal Lord? I live to defy the heavens, and I do not bow my head to anyone other than my parents."
Yu Xian said grimly, "Then do you believe if I said that if you did not give in, I would capture you and kill your parents before your eyes."
Shi Lang's figure flashed, and he appeared behind Yu Mingxue. His spear was already out, placed behind her heart, and her neck was gently held in his grip. He said in a cold voice, "Old man, if you are going to act like a senile fool, then before you can even kill me, I will kill your daughter right before your eyes. As for my parents, talk big when you have the power to traverse through realms to locate my parents."
The three elders and Yu Mingxue were surprised when they heard this. Shi Lang did not care and said, "I am an ascender, and I follow the Sovereign Heavenly Dragon. You would suffer his rage if you dared to mess up with me. I wonder if you will be able to withstand that."
Yu Xian snorted and retorted, "So what? We also have a sovereign in Nothern Wind Sect."
Shi Lang smiled coldly and said, "Old man, do you think your sovereign will save you and go to war with Tian Long?"
Yu Xian was stumped. He did not expect this young man to be so witty. Shi Lang said, "If Xiao Yu says she wants to stay with you, I will not object. However, this will not change the fact that I am still her master. If you tried to take my disciple from me, then one day I will kill you all."
Yu Xian was about to retort when Yuwan said, "Ace, calm down. Do not act like this. I accept that Old Yu said something wrong, but that is just because he has reunited with his granddaughter."
Yu Xian glared at Yuwan, but at this time, even Han Kim stood up and said, "Young Friend Ace, I apologize to you on behalf of my husband."
The people were shocked; they did not expect Han Kim to oppose her husband, but Shi Lang did not give up his guard. He said, "Senior, I have nothing against any of you. Please do not bow your head. However, I will not suffer this humiliation in silence. If he is that protective of his family, he should not have let them go to that hellhole alone. If only he could see the way life was treated in that place. Forget it. If you wish to take Xiao Yu away, please ask the little girl and respect her wishes. That is what a family does, instead of imposing values." n--o./V..e/)l--b--I)/n
