Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 655 Family? (2).



Chapter 655 Family? (2).

Yu Mingxue was stunned by this question. It was not that she did not expect Shi Lang to say anything. She was thinking about why this little girl called her mother and why she said her eyes were different. 

Now that Shi Lang mentioned the Northern Wind Sect, she was startled and asked, 'How do you know about the Northern Wind Sect?' 

The terran was prepared for her reaction, and this confirmed his doubts even more. He sighed and replied, 'Xiao Yu's full name is Yu Xiedi, and her mother was a cultivator of the Northern Wind Sect. She had accepted a mission and then was captured by the bandit leader. Xiao Yu was born in their union. However, her mother taught her well, and Xiao Yu avenged her mother with my help.'

Yu Mingxue's eyes fluttered but quickly returned to normal. While serving her children food, she asked, 'Yes, I am familiar with the Northern Wind Sect. My father is an elder in the sect. Do you want me to find out about this child's family so they can take her in?' 

Shi Lang raised his eyebrow and calmed his temper before he said, 'You do not have to think too much. I do not wish to send Xiao Yu away to a place where people might not even consider her one of their own. I would only like the people of her family to know that she is alive and that the lineage of their junior did not end in the canyon. Yes, you might think that Xiao Yu is born from the union of a bandit and might sound like an illegitimate child, but I will nurture her into a prodigy that will shock the world, and when that happens, I hope that her family stays away like they intend to.' 

Yu Mingxue glared at him, and she did not expect him to come back at her like this. He did not intend to let the child back into the family and even claimed that he would turn her into a prodigy. She was not against Yu Xiedi meeting the family but knew little about Shi Lang. 

All Yuwan had told her was that this young man was a head hunter and a genius commander. She had all the right reasons to suspect that Shi Lang could be a spy of the demonic side, or he could be using Yu Xiedi to squeeze the family behind her. However, this suspicion was unfounded, and her glare softened. 

She said, 'Young Sir, I apologize for my behavior. It is not that I do not sympathize with the child. Neither do I wish to become an obstacle between reunions with her family. However, it has been eight years since my sect issued a mission, and till now, we have only been disappointed. I did not wish to face the same again.' 

Shi Lang was confused by the latter half of her statement. He asked, 'What do you mean? What task?' 

Yu Mingxue sighed and said, 'Seven years ago, a group of young female disciples left the sect for a mission to avenge a couple of our senior brothers and sisters. The enemy was none other than the swamp thorn bandits. However, we never heard back from them. My father is the elder who is responsible for Disciple Welfare. He discussed with the leaders, who posted a task in various organizations to find the disciples' news.

We received a few words initially, but they were all unfortunate. Then we gave up. My father has developed a knot in his heart and even stepped down from the position of welfare elder. Today, when you bought this child and asked me the questions, I lost self-control. I apologize.' 

Shi Lang shook his head lightly and asked, 'It is alright for you to do so. I can understand. Can you tell me if you can locate Xiao Yu's family?' 

Yu Mingxue smiled faintly and said, 'My parents will be coming here in the morning. It is my son's birthday. They will not miss it, and they will devise a way to recognize her.'

Shi Lang nodded calmly, and he was not rushing to leave or force the lady. She had taken a step back upon confirming his intentions. He knew that she was caring for her family, the sect. It was only reasonable for her to do this. 

He nodded and said, 'It would not matter to wait till the morning.' 

The lady nodded, and Yuwan said, 'I hope this child is reunited with her family.' 

Shi Lang nodded, and the people continued eating in silence. After dinner, Shi Lang took Yu Xiedi back to the guest room. He did not tell the girl to cheer up because, after all this while, he understood that Yu Xiedi would come around the troubles she faced on her own. 

She was not weak and did not like hearing the honeyed words. Shi Lang felt bad about this but could not do anything else. He sat on the ground to cultivate when his gaze fell upon the Emerald Sparkle Rabbit. The terran thought about something and manipulated the Inheritance palace entrance. 

A void tunnel formed before him, and Yu Xiedi turned to look at the dark circle with great curiosity. When she was about to ask what was happening, the rabbit beside her jumped up from the ground and landed right behind Shi Lang. Yu Xiedi was startled, but she did not sense anything. 

Shi Lang watched the lightning leopard stepping out of the void tunnel. He waved his hand, and the tunnel collapsed. Shi Lang asked, "Lei Hu, I have a task for you. Also, can you rein in your aura? You do not wish me to send you back there, do you?" 

The intimidating beast king suddenly calmed down. Then, it bowed its head to Shi Lang. This was the act of submission towards the master. Yu Xiedi asked glowingly, "Master, you have such a big cat?" 

Shi Lang was stunned, and then he chuckled. Lei Hu glared at Yu Xiedi and bared his fangs. However, the terran directly kicked his butt and rebuked, "Aren't you acting a bit too pompous? That is my disciple. I will make a coat out of you, fool." 

The leopard growled in dissatisfaction. Shi Lang sighed and said, "Fine, you are a dignified beast king. Why do you have to be so touchy about a child? Do you not know that cats are more likable than boorish big beasts?" 

The leopard rubbed his face with its big paws. Shi Lang said, "Xiao Yu, this is not a big cat. He is Lei Hu, and he is a beast king. Although I am his master, this guy is equally strong as I am. He is a lightning leopard. This guy is still just a few years old, so you can call him Xiao Hu." 

.cοm Lei Hu was getting smug, thinking this human was giving him due respect, but the situation took a turn for worse. Shi Lang allowed this weak child to call him Xiao Hu. What did he mean by that? He was mocking the dignity of a beast king. He glared at Shi Lang and wanted to roar when he immediately became alert and turned to look at the door. 

Shi Lang had already sensed the City Lord arriving. The pressure radiated from Lei Hu initially must have triggered him to respond. The terran waved his hand and opened the door. Yuwan was surprised but saw a big Leopard standing in a vigilant stance beside Shi Lang. 

Shi Lang stood up and said, "Uncle Yuwan, I apologize for startling you. This is my spiritual beast companion, Lie Hu." 

Yuwan sighed and said, "I wondered why a beast king appeared here. Haha, I was too anxious. Ace, carry on. I will take my leave." 

Shi Lang nodded and watched the old man leave the place briskly. He closed the door and said, "Lei Hu, you will leave here and head to the War Maiden Sect. Your task is to stay beside your mistress and protect her from danger. Once you reach there, tell me. I will open the portal to bring her inside the Inheritance palace." 

Lei Hu was stunned to discover that he had a mistress. Then the beast recalled Yan Xue and nodded. Shi Lang did not know what was happening in the beast's mind. After writing a brief message, he took a piece of parchment and gave it to Lei Hu. He told him how to act at the War Maiden sect if it did not wish to die. The Leopard understood the old humans were very scary, so he nodded. The experience in the Inheritance palace had left a great mark on him.

Shi Lang waved his hand, and the Lightning Leopard dashed out the window. As long as this guy did not provoke any beast emperor or get caught by a Human expert, it will be safe on its way north. 

His strength was enough to help him survive the wild. Yu Xiedi was sad and Shi Lang said dotingly, "Xiao Yu, do not be upset, tomorrow, Master will bring you a bigger surprise." 

Yu Xiedi was confused and the night fleeted away.
