Reincarnation: Travel The Whole Universe With Your 'Good Brother!'

Xu Zhong Kui went on the audience hall, he sat on the chair on the middle, his elbow on the armrest and used his palms to support his head as he leaned on the side.

He pondered on how to tell the others about his grandson, Xu Shaoze.

"Opportunists prosper in the atmosphere of crisis, those with an evil heart will start to crawl up and bring down those who are up high. What should I tell the others? To protect little Ze from any possible harm is the duty of a grandfather, my, Xu Zhong Kui's duty, as the only family left for Xu Shaoze!"

Xu Zhong Kui held his chin with his hands as he leaned on the chair, he has a habit to brush his mustache when pondering hard and thinking for solutions.

Naturally, the personal attendant of him, Xue Lin, who is loyal to only the head of the family, the patriarch, no other else, were all familiar of the habits of Xu Zhong Kui, knew what's bothering him.

"Patriarch, will little Ze be all right? It seems like THEY have evil intentions, they were aiming for the patriarch's position for so long, they won't be able to wait anymore..."

Xue Lin emphasized the word 'they' as if there were other meanings behind it. Xue Lin hesitated for a moment before he threw a question on Xu Zhong Kui.

"...Is this the right thing to do, Patriarch? Announcing to them that Xu Shaoze is your grandson means putting little Ze in open. They will try to scheme to remove him from the line of succession,

Ah Ze will be put in danger, are you fine with that?"

Xu Zhong Kui glanced sideways as he stared right through Xue Lin's eyes before letting out a long sigh. He looked at the front door with complicated emotions in his eyes.

"This is the right thing to do as he didn't get anything or familial love from us, It is rightfully his in the first place, the true inheritor of the Xu Family, Xu Shaoze!"

Xu Zhong Kui stood up slowly as firmness overcome the complicated emotions on his eyes as he shot an aura of confidence, a natural aura when you are a top cultivator in the world. It engulfed the whole room and It felt as though the aura is like a heavenly deity descending on a mortal world. An oppressive feeling arose in the air.

"So what if they scheme on my grandson!? Would they have to do it right in front of me, Xu Zhong Kui!? Do they dare!? ... Ha!"

"I'll obey the patriarch!"

Xue Lin bowed, there's an exciting feeling deep inside him. He was so happy to see that Xu Zhong Kui of old is back! His master, who took down all the rival families as he brought the Xu Family to the top is back!

"Call the branch family and bring them into the audience hall!"

"Yes, Patriarch!"

...

The whole branch family was in the clamor, they wondered why the Patriarch was gathering them all. They walked into the audience hall looking confused while some walked in with their c.h.e.s.t up and nose tilted upwards as if it didn't concern them at all.

When they entered the hall, they saw an old man sitting in the middle as he whispered something on a servant and left quickly after taking the orders. Then the old man turned his gaze towards them and they felt a massive aura suppressing them.

The branch family felt their hearts leaped out of their lungs as cold sweat trickled down on their foreheads. Two people in the back were sweating buckets and their knees were shivering.

"..Did we get found out?"

"Seems like it...."

The two of them put their hands on their sleeves reaching out to something when they heard the others voicing out their thoughts.

"Patriarch, what is the meaning of this?..."

"Patriarch, what have you called us for?..."

The branch family saw that the Master of the house being fierce all of a sudden, they were afraid and suspicious as to why they are gathered. It appears that Xu Zhong Kui has something to say. The two who were readying themselves to get something out of their sleeves stopped their hands.

Xu Zhong Kui retracted his aura after he scanned the crowd, his cold eyes made the branch family shiver in fear.

"Take your positions and stand on the side! Today, I have something to announce to everyone! This concerns all of you and the future of the Xu Family!"

At first, the two people sighed in relief but when they heard the next sentence their body stiffed, their brows furrowed with a frown etched on their faces. They too were in doubt, Is the patriarch referring to them?

One by one they went in their positions and lined up to the sides, they hung their heads low as silence filled the room. After some time there was still silence, the family members couldn't take it anymore, then one of the two people on the back spoke up.

"Is... Is the enemy started making a move?"

All the eyes of the crowd turned towards them they have a questioning looks.

"E-Enemy... are they going to start they move now?..."

"The supreme cultivation technique is ours! we can't let them take it away!"

Now, everyone had a serious look on their faces as they turned to look towards Xu Zhong Kui wanting to confirm their assumptions.

All these years, this enemy of theirs covet their Supreme cultivation techniques. They took all effort just to get their hands on it.

In the past, the Xu ancestor went on travel and found an ancient ruin, he went in together with his best friend and found a cultivation technique. However, this manual was the only thing that they found.

His best friend covets the cultivation manual and wants it only for himself, he then tried to get rid of Xu ancestor. The ancestor found it unbearable that his best friend turned back on him just for sudden greed that sprouted in his heart.

He then fought with his best friend for 3 days and 3 nights only to leave him seriously injured, then fled and hide. Now, the current Xu Family is so strong because they have the Supreme cultivation technique as their foundation. However, the enemies found that the manual was with them and they tried to steal it without sparing any cost.

"That too... but I have other things to announce... However..."

Xu Zhong Kui slowly glanced at the man who spoke first earlier as he spoke. His eyes shone with a sharp light, his face cracked into a smile.

"It is amazing how fearless you can be when you want something bad enough, the lengths to which you'll go, the grit you'll put into scheming and maneuvering. I'll take my hat off for you."

When the two people on the back heard this they subconsciously straightened their backs they then hurriedly put their hands on their sleeves to get something however Xu Zhong Kui has already raised his hand. Then shadowy figures abruptly appeared on the back of the two people and swiftly slit their throats and went back on the shadows.

It was so fast that it didn't even take 1 second before they went away. The people inside the hall were shocked, some looked deathly pale and some even vomited seeing the scene before them when suddenly the door on the entrance was swung open as a cool voice spread inside like a rumble of thunder in the clouds.

"I've only taken a bath and you already missed me?..."

Xu Shaoze entered the hall and saw the deadly scene. He went silent for a while before clasping his hands with one fist and one palm and bowed slightly as he turned to look at the old man in the middle.

"Grandpa..."
