-Dinner table-

The atmosphere here is strangely tense, Xiao Yun who just get into the room suddenly noticed that. Sitting on the chair the family of five starts to eat together. The five of them were him, his sisters and his mother, the matriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Rong. The sisters from the eldest were: Xiao Su, Xiao Xue, and Xiao Xinyi. With each has their own characteristic.

Xiao Su with her brave yet mature attitude, Xiao Xue with her cold attitude, Xiao Xinyi who's really naughty, and there's Xiao Yun who just keep smiling while always keeping his thought away from the world, even his mother whose realm is by far above him, didn't know what was he thinking all the time.

As for his dad, he died when he was three years old, his mother said that he was assassinated, but she doesn't want to go in-depth into that matter.

When the dinner finished, his mother suddenly said to him: "Yun-er, you'll be traveling to the city of Red-Mountain. There you will receive your family trial for your coming ages, I hope you can learn from it. You can choose your servants as for the bodyguard, sorry because this is a low-key affair I will choose you those from Houtian stage cultivator in the family. are you okay with that?"

even though she said so, there would be much stronger guards guarding him in the dark. after all, he is the only male in his family, of course, branch families aren't included. yeah this is what's on his mind right now, but on the outside, he just smiled softly: "Yes, mom"

of course, his sisters won't just agree like that, that's also the reason why the tense atmosphere appeared in the dining room from the start, but it seems that they've reached an agreement. and he is just too lazy to think about it.

Followed by another little chat, Xiao Yun went to his room to sleep after.

The next day went, as usual for him, woke up, take a bath, family breakfast, read books in the family library 'till noon, rest, combat practice at the afternoon, comprehend it 'till dinner time, dinner, and sleep. it was his usual daily routine. it went as long as one month before another talk with his mother: "son, sorry to say this but you should leave early in the morning the next day."

"why?" Xiao Yun asked.

"...it's nothing, right, you better prepare tonight and here's your spatial ring, there are gold and some books for you to enjoy there, also I've prepared your weapons in it just like the one you own in your spatial ring," Xiao Rong said while giving him a silver-colored ring.

Although it's really a good thing to get, why does it seem to be something like an ominous sign?

Oy! I've read many novels in the past life to see where's this going... but there seems to be an odd thing...

of course, things like this are such a common occurrence, a young master getting a gift from his parents, no it should be: a child getting a gift from his/her parents before going on a field trip... right?

Of course, Xiao Yun kept his thought to himself.

"Now off you go, remember, just go straight to the place okay, as for the servant I've chosen who will go with you, sorry..."

"It's fine"
