"Your progress is not bad son"
Yun Lan spoke as Xiao sat in her room along with Xuanyin in his lap, it's being a few days since he started cultivating, he didn't do any super leap and is still within the 3rd realm of body refining, well he made it seem like he's stuck at there for now, among the kids his age right now he's the fastest and he would stay like that too
Xiao 'happily' replied to his mothers words, Xuanyin too nodded her head and silently gave out a praise to him, looking at Xiao, Yun Lan spoke
"so you chose the sword as your main weapon right?"
"So have you started training the more extensive styles and techniques?"
"I have already chosen some sword techniques from the clan and I did make some progress"
"That's good do you want any slaves you want to practice on?, it wouldn't matter if you killed them too"
"For now no, I will ask when I need them"
"Sure it's your wish after all"
Yun Lan didn't ask anymore afterwards, Xiao too remained silent, when his mother had asked for slaves to practice on he was not surprised he knew that his mother was very ruthless, without such a trait you would never grow in this world as a cultivator, well he wasn't lying when he said the sword forms he used was from the family
Unlike cultivation technique, sword techniques and the other ones he would need to use them in combat, so he can't go around using the ones that are not in the family, well he does know some techniques outside the family, as he had learned several types during his first life, moreover the techniques in the family he had already learned them at his first life too
So it didn't take him long to get used to them, now the main thing on his mind was to find the way to cure his sister, of course he knows some treasures that are spread in the lower heavens, in fact there is a known treasure to cure his sisters illness but the price for that, even if the Yun family used up their entire fortune they won't be able to afford it
He knows it's location but unlike the past where he could have others get it for him that won't work now, if the news of it spread, the Yun family will definitely take it for themselves, the said treasure that he was searching for is rare even in the third heaven and it would be a great treasure to all, as it had the ability to even boost a persons talent!
No, for this treasure he must go for it himself, right now there's no one he trusts with a task as huge as this but that would need to change, Xiao is not someone that believed in: 'Ya~~I would do all by myself and am invincible alone~'
If it was in the past maybe but right now, he knows better, having a group to lead and use for oneself would be extremely useful and the ones he chose has to be good talent and should always be loyal to him and him alone and Xiao right now has a few candidates in mind, it was at this time that a high level servant walked in after a knock, entering inside he gave a bow to his mother as he spoke
"Miss, you and the family are requested by the family head to head to the family meeting room"
"Okay, you may leave"
Yun Lan spoke coldly with a frigid face, hearing it the servant shivered for a moment before he walked out, after he did Yun Lan looked at Xiao and nodded her head and he nodded back to her, they didn't take much time as they headed out of his mothers courtyard to the family meeting room
"What do you think will it be about mother?"
"I don't know but looking at how rushed he is, it must be important"
Xiao nodded his head at his mothers words, holding his sisters hand he and his mother walked towards a huge room, where many important meetings happen, the Yun family manor was very huge with several family members and servants, so it took a few minutes for them to reach a huge room
Entering inside he could see his father, grandfather and some elders and family members, he could even Yun Yurou within the group who looked at his with a faint blush on her cheeks, well he could say that his current look was very suave even for a 10 year old, when he along with his mother and sister had entered several eyes were focused on him
At the current time he was the best genius of the family, so many had eyes on him, looking him up and calculating his worth, when they saw Xiao at the gathering many nodded their heads at approval looking at him, with just his confident gaze and standing many could day that he would go a long way
Meanwhile Xiao's gaze had been stuck to a 9 year old girl that was standing beside a middle aged man, looking at the girl many complex feeling filled his heart and just as he had identified the girl he had understood the reason for the gathering, taking deep breaths to regain his composure he walked up to his grandfather along with his family, standing in front of him all three of us gave a bow
"Greetings family head"
"Good you have arrived"
Yun Hao nodded his head at them, at the same time his father Yun Qinghong walked towards them with a calm smile on his face, reaching close to Xiao he rubbed his head in a pat as he spoke
"You gave really made me proud son"
"Thank you lord father"
Xiao spoke back with a respectful response not seen to be happy or great at the words from his father, seeing it Yun Qingon's face twitched but he didn't say anything, he looked at his 'first' wife, who was looking at him coldly without a hint of affection, seeing it a bit of hate flashed through his eyes but he focused back at his daughter trying to pat her but Xuanyin didn't allow it as she hid behind Xiao, seeing all this his anger started to raise but Xiao spoke before things could get bad
"Lord father don't mind sister, you know that she doesn't like anybody touching her and her freezing might be uncomfortable for you, she was just looking out for lord father"
Everybody who heard this knew that this was utter bullshit, a cold from a mortal girl be uncomfotable for a high level cultivator? but even though the crowd knew that no one rebuked Xiao, seeing a way out Yun Qinghong nodded his head as he spoke with a smile
"Indeed I can see that, it's no problem, she was just being a loving daughter"
With that he didn't say anything more as he walked away to his other wife and family, Xiao's eyes looked coldly at his father as he moved away, at his first life he would have been beyond ecstatic to get his fathers approval but now he wouldn't give shit if his father cares about him or not
