Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang was preparing food for all the guests that were coming over soon and did not notice that the sun was going down on the horizon. When Yu Xeidi and Hao Mei watched him from a distance, the latter asked, "What is master doing?"

Yu Xeidi replied, "Mistress said he is cooking but what is he cooking I do not know."

Shi Tao was done with her work and as the person who did not know much about how things worked in the Immortal Realm had just finished a lesson with Ying Yu. Meanwhile she was also curiously looking at the two women in the pavilion at a distance. Amelia has been engaged in a conversation with Yun Xue since the noon and it did not seem to coming to an end.

Since she had nothing better to do, she was watching over the two kids. Just when she was about to say something a mellow voice rang out behind them, "Young Master Ace, I wonder if you are trying slip past the discussion with a dose of food?"

Shi Lang smiled and replied while flipping over a kebab he was roasting on flame, "If only it was that easy to make things work, Senior Amethyst, I would have opened a chain of restaurants."

Amethyst chuckled and commented, "I am the first one I think."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yes, Senior. I apologize for being the bad host, but I will need a few more minutes before I can get away from this dish. Tao."

Shi Tao replied, "On it, Baba."

She came forward and greeted the lady with two people beside her. Amethyst looked at the two girls and asked, "Oh my, who are these two?"

Yu Xeidi and Hao Mei greeted her. Amethyst smiled and said, "You two have a great foundation. Work hard."

The two girls nodded and Shi Tao led the sovereign to the pavilion. Shi Tao said, "Senior, I will pour tear for you."

Amethyst nodded but Hao Mei said, "Elder Sister, let me do it."

Shi Tao was surprised but Hao Mei had meticulously bought out a tea set and prepared a beverage very carefully for the two of them. Amethyst narrowed her gaze and asked, "Hao Mei are you an Alchemist?"

Hao Mei nodded silently, and Amethyst looked in Shi Lang's direction before she said, "Young Master Ace, you better hide your disciple, Sovereign Healing Hands covet talented young alchemists. Do not blame me later on?"

Shi Lang smiled but before he could reply, a soft voice echoed and Sovereign Healing Hands appeared outside the pavilion saying, "Why will he blame..."

She did not even finish speaking when she spotted Hao Mei. However, another figure flashed before her and blocked her view. Yu Xeidi not only stood between the two, but this little one already had an over-sized sword in her little hands. Her eyes were narrowed and she was in a fighting stance.

Shi Tao, Amethyst and Healing Hands could not fathom this scene. At this moment, Amelia arrived with Yun Xue beside her and said, "Xiao Yu, why are you holding a sword?"

Yu Xeidi did not take her gaze away from Healing Hands and said, "This senior is gazing at my senior sister with unclarified intentions. I felt threatened."

Amethyst was visible surprised and her eyes opened wide. Healing Hands was not much different, and said, "I am just curious in your senior sisters abilities. You do not have to feel threatened."

Yu Xeidi still cast her a prolonged gaze and said, "I apologize for being rude, Senior. Master is a good person and he trusts everyone. I do not. If you threatened my Senior Sister, I will not mind fighting to death with you."

Her voice was calm and composed, no one could digest the fact that it is a spirit gathering realm ant talking to an Immortal Sovereign. Healing Hands was unlike those people who would banter with a child. She erupted in laughter and said, "Alright, I will keep that in mind."

Yu Xeidi nodded and put her sword back in her space ring. Shi Lang was listening to all this from the side but he did not say anything. However, Amelia was angry, she was radiating a cold aura from her body.

She said, "Xiao Yu, apologize to Senior Healing Hands."

Yu Xeidi turned to look at her and said, "Yes, Mistress."

She did not put up any protest and bowed sincerely in apology to Sovereign Healing Hands.

The lady waved her hand and replied, "It is good that you are so protective to your senior sister. However, you need to learn how to me measured."

Amelia nodded and replied, "I agree with Senior Healing Hands, what you did was out of your protective instinct but the way you did things was wrong."

Yu Xeidi pursed her lips, she could not understand why what she did was wrong. She began to think when Amelia sighed and said, "Child, we are all present here. Do you think if anyone has any ill intention towards you or your sisters, your master will sit by?"

The little girl shook her head. Amelia nodded continued, "That is why you should believe in him and follow his actions till you grow up."

The girl nodded, but she felt disheartened after being scolded. Hao Mei patted her small shoulder and stood there silently. Shi Tao said, "Mother, you are here, I will go take the kids in."

Amelia nodded and Shi Tao led the two girls inside the courtyard. She was going to coax them, because from what she has understood by observing the two for the entire day. They were so tightly bonded that if one of them was happy, the other one would smile, and vice versa if anyone was sad or injured too.

Amelia bowed and apologized to Healing Hands after the kids left. Lao Xu and Old man Yanshu appeared in the courtyard with Kamandala. The men sensed that the place had a slightly heavy air, and tactfully kept to themselves.

Shi Lang finished dealing with the food and said, "Oh, Senior Lao, is no one else coming over?"

Lao Xu shook his head and replied, "They will just listen to the high chairs when it comes down to it. Now, can we get on with this discussion?"

Shi Lang nodded and invited them to the pavilion with a gesture. Amelia and Yun Xue stood beside Shi Lang once the elders got inside and sat down on their chairs. They were all sitting in a hexagonal side.

They were all sitting calmly and Shi Lang said, "Well, I know you all are eager to listen to my explanation, but can I ask if any of you would like to sample the food I have prepared while doing so?"

Sovereign Healing Hands nodded and said, "I have no objection."

The rest of the people nodded, and Shi Lang said, "Xiao Xue, can you please help Amy to serve the elders, also, carefully serve the vegetables to Senior Kamandala. He is a monk and I presume meat is a taboo for him."

Kamandala cupped his fist and said, "Thank you for your consideration, Young Friend Ace."

Lao Xu nodded and said, "Now, tell us what did you mean by, Unorthodox Demonic Cultivators?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Sometime ago, I had the chance to enter the battlefield of gods."

The people nodded and the Terran continued, "So, there while exploring the place and seeking an opportunity, I found a palace. This palace was called the inheritance palace. It is a place filled with inheritances left behind by the Immortal Gods in their last moments."

The sovereigns were curious and Shi Lang said, "I was unfortunate and could not gain recognition from the seniors in there. However, what I found shocked me. The palace did not only house the Immortal Gods but also what are today called Demon Gods."

The elders were shocked and Lao Xu grabbed the armrest so hard that it turned to shards. Shi Lang nodded and spoke solemnly, "You all might not believe it but that is the true. When I was confused the palace spirit materialized before me and he asked me a question."

Old Man Yanshu asked quickly, "What question?"

Earlier, they were all interested in finding out how this incident was connected to the explanation they were seeking. Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, "The elder asked me, 'What is right and what is wrong? What is the difference between an Immortal Cultivator and a Demonic Cultivator?' and I could not even comprehend what he was looking for."

The Terran took a pause for the sake of dramatics, and continued, "That senior told me that it was a bunch of strong people in the past who could not comprehend the way they cultivated. They were always questioned for the methods they used to cultivate so quickly. So, once they could not provide an answer, the world labeled them as heretics and they were labeled as demonic cultivators."
