Ace Of Terrans

Chapter 658 Choice.



Chapter 658 Choice.

Shi Lang gazed at the old lady and asked, "Senior Han, how much of what you said do you mean? I am not saying that I do not believe you, but considering my position, there is a high chance that Old Yu might kill me the moment I let go of your daughter." 

Han Kim narrowed her gaze and took a deep breath, and she said, "Young Friend Ace, I understand your stance as well. The person you saved is my granddaughter. Despite her birth, she is a part of my family, and I do want to have her by my side and protect her. However, I know what my daughter would have wanted, too. 

You saved her, and you faced a formidable enemy in the process. It is only a coincidence that you have come across us. Otherwise, what were our chances of finding her before you took her to the sect? You have been protecting her all this time, and I can sense that when she looks at you, it is not as a disciple looking at their master but a child looking at a parent. 

Yu Xian may think you are weak, but I do not think that someone who can fight their way in the martial world and look after a child so patiently is a weak person. I am not speaking in the capacity of an Immortal Emperor but a mother. So, please believe me, I mean every syllable of what I just said." 

Shi Lang sighed and said, "Senior, I respect you, and Senior Yu, I also respect you the same. I am not saying this half-heartedly. I can understand that you are trying to shelter that child with all that you have. However, I would like you to consider that she has already witnessed that village's dark side of humanity. Now, she needs more than protection: the skills to defend herself. If you think my strength is low, you may ask City Lord Yuwan if I am good enough to teach her." 

Yu Xian gazed at City Lord Yuwan, who nodded and said, "I can bear witness that Young Friend Ace slayed three Immortal Kings, and he fended off against an Immortal Emperor. I can testify with a heavenly oath if you want to." 

Yu Xian, Han Kim, & Yu Mingxue could not believe their ears. Shi Lang was an Immortal Lord. How could he deal with an Immortal Emperor? This was unprecedented in what they understood about the cultivation world. 

Shi Lang said, "I told you all that I am an ascender, and I have a better foundation than you guys, so my spiritual energy is better in terms of purity, allowing me to hold my end against the Immortal Emperor realm experts. But I am not invincible. I can defend myself when I give it my all. If I fail, I will die at the hands of my enemy." 

Yu Xian did not say anything, and the pressure from his body was reined back. Han Kim said, "Young Friend Ace, let go of Xiao Xue."

Shi Lang was still doubtful but did not say anything against it. He took away his spear and apologized to the young lady. Yu Mingxue did not make any fuss. She deeply understood diplomatic skills and knew that her father triggered Shi Lang's action. 

Also, the young man apologized to her through spiritual communication. She was aware that he did not have any intention to kill her and only asked for her cooperation to hold back her father. 

Han Kim said, "Why do we not call the child inside and ask her what she wishes for." 

Yu Mingxue nodded and left the hall to bring back Yu Xiedi. Shi Lang did not sit down on the sofa but stood at the side with his spear in his hand. Han Kim glared at Yu Xian while Yuwan smiled bitterly. 

Shi Lang was vigilant, and he was not putting his guard down. It was not his fault, after all. Who knew what an irrational person would do?

After a few minutes, the silence in the hall was deafening when the children walked in with giggles and laughter. Shi Lang caught Yu Xiedi walking behind Yao'er and Jingjing. The girl did not seem overly happy, but her eyes shone. She must have enjoyed a good time in the garden. The rabbit in her arms was gazing around in fascination. 

Yu Xiedi spotted Shi Lang in the room and made a beeline to stand beside him. Shi Lang patted her head and asked, "Xiao Yu, did you have a good time?" 

The girl nodded gently and said, "Master, I want to ask something." 

Shi Lang crouched beside her and nodded for her to go on. The girl said, "Master, it feels warm here." 

Her voice was akin to a whisper, but Shi Lang could make it out properly, and he saw her place her hand over her tummy. The terran did not waste any moment and touched her shoulder. His spiritual energy covered the little girl, and he found that her body was gathering the spiritual energy inside the abdominal cavity. Although her dantian had yet to form, the process of a breakthrough had begun. 

.cοm Shi Lang frowned and said, "Sit down and sense the inside of your body. Focus on this warmth and try to channel it all over the body. Okay?" 

Yu Xiedi nodded, sat in a lotus position, and began to sense the energy in her dantian. Shi Lang waved his hand and cast a spiritual barrier around her body to isolate her from all distractions. 

Han Kim asked, "Young Friend, is everything alright?" 

Shi Lang nodded and replied, "Yes, Senior. She has been absorbing the spiritual energy gathered in her abdomen while running around. I just told her to use this energy to refine the body to a higher level. She is still in the initial stage of the body refinement, and it is not good to break through to the spirit-gathering stage." 

Yu Xian asked, "Why do you say so? She can cultivate both levels simultaneously, and her body will become stronger along with her control of the spiritual energy." 

Shi Lang gazed at him and replied indifferently, "You might be right if she was following any other cultivation technique, but the skills I have imparted to her do not allow the people an option of modification." 

Yu Xian raised his head and asked, "What sort of backward skill is that?" 

Shi Lang snorted and said, "So the knowledge of your ancestors in the Immortal God realm or even higher was waste?" 

Yu Xian narrowed his gaze and said, "Are you trying to malign my ancestor, bastard?" 

Shi Lang grasped his spear and said, "Who are you calling a bastard old man? It was you who questioned things without knowing anything and not me. Understood. Do not act smart with me. I eat senile people like you for breakfast. If you do not change your attitude, you will humiliate yourself. Act like you are an Immortal Emperor. Did you see your peer acting like you?" 

Yu Xian was about to flare up when Han Kim said, "Young Friend Shi, your tongue surely can leave scars on the souls." 

Shi Lang shrugged and turned his attention to Yu Xiedi. Han Kim began to pacify Yu Xian, and Yuwan began to talk to his grandchildren about what happened outside, and they narrated the scene in great detail. 

After half an hour, Yu Xiedi finished her circulation, and Shi Lang checked her body again. The skin of the little girl had improved now. He smiled and said, "Do you remember I told you about a surprise last night?" 

The girl nodded, and Shi Lang said, "The two elders here are your grandparents. They are the parents of your mother. Young Miss Yu is your aunt, so she looks familiar to your mother. Yao'er and Jingjing are your cousins." 

Yu Xiedi was shocked, and it was evident in her eyes that she was trying to wrap her mind around everything. After a few minutes, she asked, "What should I do now, Master?"

The girl was asking the young man about what to do. How can old man Yu watch this scene? However, after some harsh words from Han Kim, he turned to look at his wife, who ignored him. 

She trusted Shi Lang, and the Terran did not disappoint them. He said, "Xiao Yu, they are your family, and if you want to know more about your mother, you can go with them and live for a few days." 

Yu Xiedi gazed at him with a frown and asked with shivering lips, "Do you not want me anymore, Master?" 

Shi Lang and the rest of the people were surprised, but they calmed down quickly, too. The terran did not expect the child to be so deeply connected to him. He cupped her face and said, "I would not give you up for the world, my little darling. But you have to choose what you want to do. We can always go and see where your mother lived and learn her skills in the future. However, your relatives have also been searching for you for a long time. I will not ask you to do anything against your will, nor will they. 

How about this: before you decide, why don't you spend some time with them here and learn about them? I will be in the city for my tasks also." 

Yu Xiedi thought briefly, saying, "I will stay here to see what I decide. Is that okay?" 

Han Kim chuckled and said, "Of course, sweetheart, everything you say is fine."
