"Big Brother?!"
Xia Jie was stunned when he heard the words. Then, he flew into a rage. "Is he going to continue being a fool?"
Previously, before entering the Dimensional Battlefield, he had met his big brother once. When he saw that his big brother looked apologetic, he thought that his big brother would stop forcing his niece after she was released.
He did not expect that his big brother would do such a thing again when he returned.
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have entered the Dimensional Battlefield!"
Xia Jie regretted his decision. Although he had obtained some unexpected gains by entering the Dimensional Battlefield to look for his niece, he would have preferred not to enter the Dimensional Battlefield if he had known this would happen.
"I'll go look for him!"
Without any hesitation, Xia Jie left the middle-aged man beside him and left like a gust of wind. The middle-aged man who was left behind sighed. "The Third Master is still as hot-tempered as ever."
The middle-aged man's unkempt figure looked eccentric, but his eyes were filled with sincere respect.
His life was saved by the Third Master.
If the Third Master needed it, he was willing to give up his precious life for him.
After leaving, Xia Jie went to look for his big brother, Xia Yu, the current Patriarch of the Xia Family.
"Where's Xue 'er?"
As soon as he saw Xia Yu, Xia Jie immediately asked about his niece. "I heard you brought her back to the family? Where is she now? "
Xia Yu glanced at his impatient brother and frowned slightly. "How old are you? Why are you still acting like a child? Can't we talk things out properly? "
In the past, he felt guilty in front of his third brother. After all, he felt that his third brother loved his daughter more than he loved his daughter.
He felt guilty in his heart, so much so that when his third brother mentioned his daughter, he felt a little ashamed to show his face.
However, he no longer felt guilty.
This was because he no longer forced his daughter to marry Yun Qing Yan from the Yun Family.
"Hmph!"
Xia Jie was furious when he saw his big brother acting as if nothing had happened. "Where's Xue 'er? Didn't she come back? Didn't you hand her over to Yun Tingfeng? "
Yun Tingfeng was the Patriarch of the Yun Family in the Divine Offering Land.
He was also Yun Qing Yan's father.
"You just came back, but you know quite a lot."
Xia Yu faintly smiled, "Don't worry, I didn't hand Xue 'er over to him."
Xia Jie frowned. "Where is Xue 'er? Could it be that you grounded her after she came back? She's not allowed to meet anyone? "
It had been over seven hundred years since he last met his niece. His niece had been in the Planar Battlefield for over seven hundred years!
After such a long time, the soul energy in his niece's soul bead had been completely annihilated, and it could no longer transmit messages.
"Sort of."
Xia Yu nodded.
"Sort of?"
Xia Jie was enraged again. "What do you mean? Didn't you tell me that if she made it out of the Realm Battlefield alive, you wouldn't force her to marry Yun Qing Yan? "
Facing his third brother's wrath, Xia Yu's expression remained unchanged as he smiled, "If you're worried about this, then you don't have to."
"Xue 'er's engagement with Yun Qing Yan has been annulled."
"As for the Yun family, Yun Tingfeng personally promised that he would not force Xue 'er to marry him again."
"So, you can rest assured now?"
As soon as Xia Yu's words left his mouth, the furious Xia Jie was dumbfounded.
The engagement was annulled?
What was going on?
Moreover, the Patriarch of the Yun family, Yun Tingfeng, personally said so?
Since when was Yun Tingfeng so agreeable?
"Also …"
Xia Yu continued to say, "Xue 'er has been in the Realm Battlefield for over seven hundred years. Not only has she recovered her cultivation base from her previous life, but her current strength has also increased by a level!
This time, she had a fortuitous encounter in the Realm Battlefield.
Now that I've told you this, you should be even happier, right? "
Xia Yu smiled.
Xia Jie had a headache when it came to his third brother. However, he was still his biological brother. Moreover, he loved his daughter dearly. Therefore, he had always been tolerant of his third brother.
Otherwise, if it was someone else who dared to act so rudely in front of him, the Patriarch of the Xia family, he would have been punished by the family.
"Really?!"
Xia Jie's eyes lit up when he heard Xia Yu's words. "In such a short time, she has recovered her cultivation base from her previous life. Moreover, her strength has increased by a level …
"It seems that the secret method of reincarnation passed down in the family does have its own uniqueness!"
Xue 'er is not even a thousand years old in this life! "
A mid-level Supreme God who was not even a thousand years old.
Xia Jie could imagine that once this news spread, it would cause a stir in the entire Divine Offering Land. Even the various Planes of Gods would be shaken.
"Of course, something passed down by the ancestor is not simple."
Xia Yu sighed. "However, in the history of the Xia Family, there were very few ancestors who used that secret technique before the Heavenly Tribulation of a thousand years … However, none of them succeeded in reincarnating."
Xue 'er is the only successful case in the history of the Xia family. "
"Of course, in the history of the Xia family, it was said that the ancestor who created the secret technique also succeeded in reincarnating. In other words, Xue 'er is the second case after him."
As for whether the ancestor had succeeded in reincarnating, no one knew.
This was because it was too long ago.
Even if he was the Clan Leader of the Xia family, he could not be 100% sure of this.
"Perhaps it depends on the person's courage."
Xia Jie shook his head and said, "How many people would dare to use the secret technique unless they were facing the Heavenly Tribulation? Perhaps the secret technique requires a courageous person to try it."
"In the history of the family, it's not like there haven't been people who didn't have such courage."
Xia Yu shook his head. "It's just that there are very few of them. Perhaps, in order to succeed in reincarnating, one must not only have courage but also other factors. "
"Of course."
Xia Jie said, "Otherwise, in the history of the Xia family, Xue 'er wouldn't be the only one who succeeded in reincarnating after the ancestor who created the secret technique.
"My niece is indeed extraordinary!"
Xia Jie said with a smug expression on his face.
Although Xia Yu did not want to hurt his pride, he still reminded him when he saw how smug Xia Jie was. "She's my daughter … My biological daughter."
That's right.
She's your niece.
However, she's also my biological daughter!
If she's not my biological daughter, she wouldn't be your niece!
Why are you acting so smug in front of me?
Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, the smug expression on Xia Jie's face froze. Then, he scolded in exasperation, "Now you know she's your daughter?
What about when you forced her in the past?
This time, she managed to reincarnate with great difficulty, but you still forced her?! "
Xia Jie became even angrier when he spoke about this.
Xia Yu didn't get angry at the furious Xia Jie. Instead, he sighed and said, "Third Brother, you should know that I was also coerced."
"Hmph!"
Xia Jie snorted coldly. "You told me about that last time."
"Didn't I tell you?"
"If the Yun family is really so ruthless and wants to destroy the Xia family … As soon as the Old Ancestor's Soul Pearl shatters, we'll immediately attack the Yun family and fight to the death!"
"Who's afraid of you?"
"Even if that old man comes back in time, there won't be many people left in the Yun family. If they want to recover, they'll have to wait and see!"
Xia Jie said in a deep voice, "I'm certain Yun Tingfeng won't dare to do that.
Otherwise, he'll be a sinner of the Yun family! "
Xia Jie said decisively.
"This time, I threatened him in the same way. He no longer insisted on marrying Xue 'er to his son," Xia Yu said.
Xia Jie nodded.
"You should've done that earlier!"
Xia Jie replied as he looked at Xia Yu with a frown. "You've said so much … Where's Xue 'er?"
"She's in a stone chamber in the Xia family's ancestral hall."
Xia Yu looked at Xia Jie and did not hide anything from him. "However, you're not allowed to see or communicate with her for 1,000 years."
"Why?"
Xia Jie frowned. What kind of logic was this? His own niece had returned home, but he could not see or communicate with her?
"It's because of the Yun family."
Xia Yu said, "This time, even though the Yun Family has agreed to us canceling the engagement, Yun Tingfeng isn't willing to let the matter rest … His request is to confine Xue 'er for a thousand years, and forbid her from contacting the outside world during this time."
After 1,000 years, Xue 'er will regain her freedom. "
Xia Yu paused for a moment. He glanced at Xia Jie who was looking around before he added, "Don't think that Xue 'er is in the Xia family. You can ignore Yun Tingfeng's request.
Since you know that Xue 'er has returned, I'm sure you know that Yun Tingfeng came by some time ago. He came to set up a Formation outside the stone chamber where Xue' er is grounded. If anyone breaks the Formation to meet or communicate with Xue 'er, he'll ask the person from the Yun family to harm the Old Ancestor!
It's still the same threat. However, the conditions have changed this time. They only want Xue 'er to be grounded for 1,000 years. They want the Xia family to give the Yun family an explanation. "
Xia Yu said.
Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, Xia Jie's expression turned for the better.
Although he felt that it was shameless for Yun Tingfeng to use the Old Ancestor of the Xia family to threaten them, he felt that this punishment was nothing.
Back then, the Yun family was not the only one who was interested in the engagement between the two families. The Xia family had also agreed to it.
If the Xia family wanted to annul the engagement, they would naturally have to pay a price.
Being grounded for 1,000 years was not a big price to pay.
"Big brother, is it true that the Yun family only wants Xue 'er to be grounded for 1,000 years?"
Xia Jie frowned slightly. Based on his understanding of the Yun family's Clan Leader, Yun Tingfeng, he was not someone who would compromise easily. Was he really worried that the Xia family would fight to the death with him?
Even if that was the case, was there a need to make such a small request?
In his opinion, 1,000 years would pass in the blink of an eye.
Being grounded for 1,000 years was not much different from not being punished at all.
It was as though the Yun family only wanted a way out.
"Yes."
Xia Yu nodded. "Yun Tingfeng is doing this because he wants a way out."
He did not tell Xia Jie that Yun Tingfeng still wanted to kill his son-in-law because he knew that Xia Jie would be angry with him if he found out.
Therefore, he did not plan to tell his third brother about this.
