Journey Of A Divine Weapon

[later]

Yun Che was able to trick the guest from Xiao Sect, but...

Jean: Congratulations, Genius, now you made someone who is superior than you in everything except looks and intelligence really angry, now wait for a miracle.

Yun Che: 'Heh, don't worry, my wife's master will save us...' Hey! Qingyue my wife, where's your master!!

Xia Qingyue: Don't know

Right at that moment, Yun Che could hear a glass cracking in his mind while Jean was laughing the shit out of Yun Che's misfortune, his eye was twitching a bit before he noticed a shadow coming in front of him, it was his 'grandfather', Xiao Lie., who just protected him from a guy.

Xiao Cheng: Xiao Lie! What's the meaning of this! Are you going to brazenly shield them?

Xiao Lie ignored him and turned to Xiao Yunhai.

Xiao Lie: Clan Master, regarding today's situation, I always had something I wanted to say! It is absolutely impossible that my daughter, Xiao Lingxi is a person that would steal the Profound Opening Powder!

Xiao Li: Haha, Xiao Lingxi is your daughter, so of course you would say that! However, the truth is already clear, whatever you have to say is completely useless!

If you dare to shield and obstruct this arrest again, don't blame me for not acknowledging our Xiao Clan's relationship as I'll also seize you together with them!

Xiao Lie: Yes, it's true that I did tell Xi Er that the Profound Opening Powder had the ability to repair profound veins. I instantly regretted it after I told her that, because knowing her personality, I was afraid that she would be impulsive enough to steal the Profound Opening Powder.

As a result, I stood in front of her courtyard's doorway all night, until dawn! She absolutely did not even take half a step outside her courtyard entrance!

Xiao Li: Tch! In order to absolve your daughter's crime, you could actually think up of such a ridiculous reason! Think about it, would anyone even believe your words? Our friends present today, do anyone of you believe him?

Then Xiao Lie's expression became resolute while Jean had a dark look, knowing what would happen right now.

Xiao Lie: I, Xiao Lie have always lived a straightforward and upright life! Although not a true gentleman, I have never looked down on a person of lower status! I have never harmed anyone, nor have I deceived anyone!

If what I said earlier had even half an untruth, may the heavens and earth punish me, and condemn me to a terrible death!

Jean: 'Nononononono…. He said it...'

Then Xiao Yulong started laughing, and everyone turned towards him.

Xiao Yulong: In this matter, this Xiao Yulong has absolutely no right to speak or intervene, but all of a sudden, when I heard Fifth Elder's grand speech, I truly couldn't hold back anymore….

A person who has fooled the entire Xiao Clan these ten or so years, unexpectedly professed himself to be a 'straightforward and upright person that had never deceived another'! This is simply a joke bigger than the heavens itself!

Xiao Lie: Xiao Yulong, what do you mean!

Xiao Yunhai: Yulong! Fifth Elder has always been a person of virtue and prestige. In the presence of our noble guests from the Xiao Sect, in the presence of our Xiao Clan, and in the presence of our friends from Floating Cloud City, you mustn't indiscriminately gossip!

Xiao Yulong: I request father to rest assure, your son naturally would not dare to speak so casually in broad daylight.

Fifth Elder, you claim to be a 'straightforward and upright person who had never deceived another', then do you dare to pledge on your son Xiao Ying's lifetime of honor and glory…. that Xiao Che is indeed your blood-related grandson!!

Jean: 'Tsk… If things get bad… I might need to forcefully activate Shikai, but for it… I need Yun Che's body!'

Everyone was shocked from what Xiao Yulong just said, while his father frowned and asked.

Xiao Yunhai: Yulong! What is this about?

Xiao Yunhai: A few days ago when I went to the cemetery at the rear mountain to pay my respects, I coincidentally met Fifth Elder. At that time, he was standing in front of his son, Xiao Ying's grave and was mumbling something to himself…

But I heard it very clearly, he was saying… that Xiao Che was in fact, not Xiao Ying's biological son!

No one made a noise for some moments before Xiao Yunhai talked.

Xiao Yunhai: This… Yulong! This is a major matter that concerns our very bloodline, you absolutely cannot speak recklessly!!

Xiao Yulong: Of course I wouldn't dare to lie about such a big matter. As for the truth, won't you know after you ask the Fifth Elder…

Fifth Elder, I guess you already heard what I said clearly, if you have a clear conscience, and that Xiao Che is really your biological grandson, then do you dare to swear on the honor of your son?

[AN: I suggest to play Nothing can be explained(Instrumental) from Bleach]

Inside Yun Che's mindscape, something that Jean never wanted to see again, happened, it was raining, right now it was raining just a little, but Jean had a frown.

Xiao Lingxi: Father, how can little Che not be your biological grandson... Father, quickly say something, quickly tell them!

Xiao Yunhai: Fifth Elder, how did that come about? Were the words that Yulong said the truth?

In Yun Che's mindscape, the rain was getting heavier, and Jean just stood there with a frown while looking towards the black sky covered in clouds.

He thought about using Paragon as a pseudo-umbrella, but when the rain got in contact with Paragon, Jean could feel the coldness of the rain through Paragon, so he made the greatsword disappear and just waited with a sad expression, while the drops of water were trailing down his face.

Yun Che: Grandfather... Grandfather... is this really... true?

Xiao Lie: Even though you aren't my biological child, but over these years, I have always treated you as my own grandson...

Xiao Lingxi: Father! What are you saying… little Che grew up with me from a young age, he's the biological son of my brother Xiao Ying, how could he not be your own grandson… You must be joking… am I right!?

Yun Che tried to put a brave face, which hidden all his sadness, that made his mindscape heavily rain.

Yun Che: It's okay, little aunt. Grandfather will always be my grandfather, and you will always be my little aunt. We will always be the closest of families, so it doesn't matter if we are related by blood or not; our feelings will never change… So is it really that important if I'm not the biological child?

Xiao Lingxi: Little Che...

Meanwhile, inside Jean's mindscape, some thunderbolts fell, making some small burned spots on the plain, no one of the thunderbolts neared Jean, but watching the pure place that was a boundless green plain and a clean blue sky turned in a storm filled empty place was unbearable.

The rain still fell over Jean, wetting his clothes, but he ignored it, and concentrated on the cold sensation the rain was giving him, when he closed his eyes, he started remembering the day where he died under the rain, the sensation at that moment was the same.

Jean: 'Stop... Please... I want back my blue sky... I don't want anymore the rain, I had enough of it in my past life...'
