“After you’ve been imprisoned in here, did they do anything to you guys?” Xiao Che anxiously asked.
Xiao Lie shook his head and comfortably laughed: “Be at ease. The Frozen Cloud Asgard’s Chu fairy hinted that she would protect us to the Xiao Sect before she had departed. With the backing of this powerful force, how could they dare to injure me or Xi’er? After the Xiao Sect members leave, they would even more not dare to; after all, I do have the reputation of being Floating Cloud City’s number one expert here, heh heh.”
“That’s good.” Xiao Che nodded, as his heart felt a bit more grateful to Xia Qingyue’s master.
Xia Qingyue is a good wife; to the very end, she did not tear up the marriage certificate.” Xiao Lie said with a somewhat melancholy expression.
“……” Xiao Che silently nodded his head.
A period of sudden silence descended upon the three. After going through the calamities that had came today, their fate had undoubtedly turned upside down. Although they had a thousand words to say in their hearts, they didn’t exactly know where to start….
“Grandfather, I want to know….”
“You want to ask who your biological parents were, right?” Xiao Lie said as he immediately continued the sentence with a tranquil expression on his face.
“En,” Xiao Che nodded as his eyes solidly concentrated at Xiao Lie: “ I believe I wasn’t randomly picked up without good cause…. Grandfather, you do know something, right?”
Xiao Lingxi also raised her eyes as she stared in astonishment at Xiao Lie.
Xiao Lie silently watched Xiao Che for a long time until he lightly sighed, and slowly closed his eyes.
