In the living room, there were only Xia Fei, Ding Qingrui, and Tong Duoduo.
Bao Xiuzhu anxiously revealed Xia Fei's identity, which shocked Ding Qingrui and Tong Duoduo. Thus, they invited Xia Fei to the guest room to interrogate him. Xia Fei didn't hide anything and told them that the healing soul tool came from him. However, Xia Fei didn't admit that he was a healing soul master and gave it to Old Man Dustfloat instead.
Ding Qingrui asked in surprise, "Does that mean that Brother Xia Fei's master is a great healing soul master?"
Great?
Xia Fei found this term very interesting. It seemed that healing soul masters were indeed extraordinary in the Alpha Universe, shocking these two big shots from the Chaos Society the moment he revealed his identity.
"That's right. My master is indeed a healing-type Cleric, but he's rather eccentric. Don't blame me for not reminding you all, but that old thing hates it when people tell others about him." Xia Fei lowered his voice and said earnestly.
A great healing soul master was actually being called an old thing by Xia Fei?! Tong Duoduo and Ding Qingrui found it inconceivable. It was clear that Xia Fei had an extraordinary relationship with their master. The more they thought about it, the more they looked at Xia Fei.
"Since Brother Xia Fei's master is a healing soul master, then you …" Tong Duoduo asked.
Xia Fei laughed. "I'm not a soul master. I'm just a warrior. My master not only has a high cultivation among the soul masters, but he's also proficient in combat."
Tong Duoduo and Ding Qingrui nodded repeatedly. A healing soul master and a high-level warrior. Xia Fei's virtual master was inconceivable to them.
Ding Qingrui thought about it and asked, "May I know what this soul master's title is? Is it possible to pay him a visit? "
* Shing ~ *
Xia Fei's expression turned a lot colder as he whispered, "It's not that I'm looking down on you two, but if the two of you visit my master, not only will that old thing not meet you, he'll even fly into a rage! If you have something to say, just tell me. I'm well aware of that old thing's temper. "
Tong Duoduo and Ding Qingrui immediately broke out in a cold sweat. In their eyes, a soul master was already unreachable, and a healing soul master was even higher. Not only did Xia Fei's words not disgust them, but it also made the strange soul master in their hearts even more real.
It couldn't be helped. In this day and age, those who were easy to talk to were often met with misfortune. A kind-hearted family like the Aurora Race was often treated as a pushover by others.
With that said, Xia Fei stood up and cupped his hands. "If there's nothing else, Xia Fei will take his leave. Until we meet again."
Xia Fei turned and left, not bothering to mention the unlucky fool he had killed. Ding Qingrui and Tong Duoduo, of course, would not mention it, either. Everyone knew that a Cleric was not someone they could afford to offend.
Gritting her teeth, Tong Duoduo said, Brother Xia Fei, I wonder if you can let me have that healing soul tool, Little Gold Hammer? My grandfather has always been searching for a healing soul tool, but he has yet to find one. This is also the greatest wish of his life.
Xia Fei smiled and turned back to Tong Duoduo. "I've already sent the item to the clan. If you want to buy it, you can discuss it with them. I won't interfere, but it shouldn't be difficult if the price is right."
The first two sentences chilled Tong Duoduo's heart, but the last sentence gave Tong Duoduo hope. Hence, Tong Duoduo nodded repeatedly and expressed her thanks.
…
Aurora Race, Xiao Family.
Xia Fei recounted everything that had happened. That night, someone had tried to harm the Aurora Race, and it was Xia Fei's master who had chased away the enemy. When Li Jindou and the Leng Family worked together to frame them, it was Xia Fei's master who had helped them.
The elders of the Aurora Race were all deeply moved when they heard this. If not for Xia Fei, the Aurora Race would probably have been in big trouble this time.
Xia Fei's expression was the same as usual. Though he had saved the Aurora Race's Xiao Family, he did not show any pride. He quietly sat there as a junior, which made the elders very happy, especially Xiao Beiwang, who would occasionally wipe away his tears. Perhaps it was because he missed his son.
Patriarch Xiao Hesai nodded and expressed his gratitude. He then changed the topic and asked about Xia Fei's past. When he mentioned that Xiao Gu had passed away, Xiao Beiwang finally could not help but burst into tears. Xia Fei could not help but comfort his great-grandfather.
Sighing, Xiao Hesai said, "Xia Fei, it's good that you're back despite all the hardships. Go home and take a look. We'll talk about the rest in a few days."
Xia Fei nodded and left with Xiao Beiwang. The remaining elders in the conference room could not help but sigh at how unpredictable the world was. Everyone knew that Xiao Gu had been chased out of the Aurora Race back then, but who would have thought that they would have to rely on Xiao Gu's descendant to save the family now? Everyone felt rather awkward. Though most of the elders who had made the decision back then were no longer around, it was still the Xiao Family's decision, and those who came later had to bear the responsibility.
"Tell me, how should we deal with this matter?" Xiao Hesai softly asked.
After a few moments of silence, Xiao Lanjing, who was in charge of the family's treasury, said, "Patriarch, Xia Fei has been extremely benevolent to us. Take that healing soul tool, Little Gold Hammer, for example. The patriarch of the Tong Family just called and offered a sky-high price to buy it! Xia Fei also agreed. If we can exchange this healing soul tool for a few high-grade soul tools, our Aurora Race's soul tool treasury will be greatly replenished. "
Xiao Hesai nodded slightly and asked in a low voice, "So you agree to let Xia Fei return to the family?"
Xiao Lanjing replied, "That's right. I can't think of any reason to refuse the return of a descendant of the family, and I also don't understand why there's a need to discuss Xia Fei's return."
Xiao Hesai let out a long sigh and said, "Everyone here should know about the curse, right?"
The moment he said this, the atmosphere instantly turned solemn, and everyone frowned.
Though it had been a long time, the scene of that mysterious woman wreaking havoc in the Xiao Family was still fresh in everyone's mind. Back then, the entire Aurora Race had mobilized all their forces, including those old ancestors who had been living in seclusion, and only then did they manage to reach a stalemate with the enemy. Thinking back on it, it had truly been very dangerous.
Xiao Hesai paused for a moment before saying, "Even if we all agree, that doesn't mean that no one will object. That's why I've gathered everyone here to discuss this. We're now jointly managing the family's affairs, so there's no harm in saying anything."
Everyone discussed until very late into the night, worried that if Xia Fei were to openly return to the family, that mysterious woman would come looking for him again. However, discussion was discussion, and no one objected to the matter of Xia Fei returning to the family.
Moreover, Xia Fei now had a healing-type spirit-master as his master, and the situation was different from before. Anyone who pushed Xia Fei away would undoubtedly offend that spirit-master. Success came from a spirit-master, and failure came from a spirit-master. A spirit-master could very well decide the life and death of an entire family.
As the sky gradually turned dark, Xiao Hesai stood up and said, "Alright, this matter is decided. Xia Fei, return to the family. It's getting late, so let's call it a day for today. Tomorrow, we still need to discuss the precautionary measures. After all, if that woman were to come looking for us again, we can't be unprepared."
Xiao Jingong, who was in charge of the family's finances, said, "That makes sense. Not only do we need to make preparations, but we also need to inform those elders who have left the family, telling them to come back as soon as possible and to be on guard."
The people of the Alpha Universe had long lives, and many warriors had indestructible golden bodies. Every family had a large number of elders, and staying in one place for too long would inevitably lead to boredom. Furthermore, there were always a few people leading the family, and as time went on, they would also slack off. Thus, many of the elders of the Aurora Race had voluntarily resigned from their positions in the family, either finding a quiet place to cultivate in seclusion or simply traveling the world.
Xiao Hesai had gathered everyone for this discussion because he was afraid that these old fellows would object to Xia Fei returning to the Aurora Race. After all, it was these people who had made Xiao Gu leave the family back then. Now that the family's defenses were urgently needed, these old bones of the family naturally needed to be informed.
Xiao Hesai nodded, frowning. "Relax. I'll be responsible for explaining the situation to the elders."
In the end, Xiao Jingong was in charge of the family's finances, so he was meticulous. After some thought, he said, "According to the rules, since Xia Fei has returned to the family and is also a direct descendant, he'll have to take care of some of the family's affairs. Where do you think we should put him?"
Being a descendant of a large family was not easy, and the free and undisciplined Skywing Race was definitely an exception. The vast majority of families had strict restrictions on their own members, just like Xiao Huai, who had to do some work in the family's logistics department despite being in his teens. Of course, Xia Fei was not an exception. These were all rules.
Xiao Hesai was truly in a difficult position. He had seen Xia Fei's personality today. He would kill at the slightest disagreement. There was no doubt that Xia Fei was a black-hearted and merciless person! It would not be appropriate to put him in any department. This family was filled with cowardly good-natured people. Who could control Xia Fei?
"Since he's Brother Beiwang's great-grandson, let him go to the logistics department. Let Brother Beiwang decide what his position should be." After pondering for some time, Xiao Hesai finally decided to throw this troublesome Xia Fei to Xiao Beiwang. After all, he was Xiao Beiwang's great-grandson.
…
Xia Fei spent the entire afternoon and night with Xiao Beiwang and Xiao Beiwang's wife, who was also his own great-grandmother.
The story of a child without a mother was a long one. Be it Xiao Beiwang's wife or Xia Fei, they all had many stories to tell, and there would be relatives visiting them from time to time.
When it came to the matter of Xiao Gu being chased out of the family for causing trouble, everyone could not help but sigh. Now that Xiao Gu was buried in a foreign land, unable to even enter his ancestral grave, the soft-hearted Xiao family could not help but weep.
Everyone was very concerned about Xia Fei, the only grandson Xiao Gu had left behind. However, Xia Fei could tell that their concern and worry were real. Everyone clearly remembered how that crazy woman had wreaked havoc in the Aurora Race.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xia Fei became familiar with his relatives in the family. Xia Fei had taken his mother's surname, so he was the only direct descendant of the Aurora Xiao Family who did not have the surname Xiao. Of course, no one cared about this.
On the morning of the fourth day, Xia Fei reported to the logistics department where Xiao Beiwang was as promised. This was the family's rule, and Xiao Beiwang did not plan on asking Xia Fei to do anything. He was just going through the motions.
The moment he entered the logistics department's courtyard, Xia Fei saw Xiao Huai.
Startled, Xia Fei gloomily said, "Xiao Huai, what's wrong with your eyes? Don't tell me he was beaten by someone!? "
PS: Jiu 'er had thought it through. There was nothing wrong with being hospitalized. At the very least, his life would be stable.
The brothers who were familiar with Jiu 'er all knew that Jiu' er had always been focused on writing, rarely missing updates or missing updates. Now that she had come out for a walk, her character had taken a nosedive.
Since she was fated to be an otaku, Jiu 'er could only helplessly accept this fact. It was good to go back. Everything would return to normal, and the situation of missing updates and missing updates would probably not happen again.
She raised her head, glanced at the blue sky, and waved her hand, not taking a single cloud with her.
Once upon a time, Jiu 'er had wanted to see the world, but in the end, she had ended up like this. The world was truly unpredictable.
