Xiao Sect Visit

Few more days have passed, and news that Xiao Sect members arrived in the city spread out through the whole Compound.

Outside main gates few Xiao Clan elders waited for members of Xiao Sect to arrive, while Xiao Tian Long was not among them, to him a mere Emperor Profound Sect is not worth shit, especially if it rival sect to one of his girl's sect, instead he was in lounge laying down in a sea of pillows with a book in hand, reading without a care in the world...

It obviously didn't last long as half an hour later he was interrupted.

"Young Master Long, Xiao Kuangyun of Xiao Sect wishes to speak with you..." one of the servants said, Xiao Tian Long, sighed and closed his book and got back on his feet, and walked outside, where he met three people, who two of them were middle-ages while in middle of them was a man in his early twenties.

'They still send that perverted womanizer, I even don't need to know his face, the air around him tells me everything'.

"You wish to talk to me?" Xiao Tian Long said with an indifferent voice.

"Sword Sovereign its honour to met you! My father asked me to tell you if you need anything Xiao Sect will do anything in its power to accomplish!" Xiao Kuangyun said with a respectful bow.

"I see, Its good to known, I have heard that my great grandfather few generations back died from old age and asked to bring one of his descendants back to Xiao Sect..." Xiao Tian Long said and rest of Xiao Sect nodded at him

"That's indeed correct!" They answered back, and Xiao Tian Long continued.

"I have heard of this and I trained few of my cousins personally..." All three of their eyes widened, Kuangyun had greed on his face for a moment.

'Trained by Sword Sovereign himself!' they all thought the sheer power up their clan will have if they invite few more!

"That's very generous of you, learning from master swordsman must have increased their power several fold!" one of Xiao Kuangyun servant said.

"Indeed it had, When I saw in what state they were several days ago I wanted to kill that incompetent instructor myself, I can't believe I am related to him!" Xiao Tian Long ranted for a moment, then he got back on track "... anyway, their cultivation increased quite a bit and few more profound entrances were opened, while I can't bring their wasted years, I am confident that their will reach Throne level if they continue training with some resources..." by now the Xiao Kuangyun almost dropped his dignified young Master persona and dashed to see these Xiao Clan members.

"Incredible Master Long! Xiao Sect will reward you however you wish, if you can help train more Xiao Sect members!" Xiao Moshan said with some fluster, he is Xiao Kuangyun butler, yet he hold position in Discipline Hall, and Xiao Sect advancement is in his best interest.

"Don't confuse my willingness to train my cousins, to work in your Sect, fellow Xiao!" Xiao Tian Long revealed his cultivation for a second which made all three of them almost pissed their pants.

'T-throne! How powerful is he now!?! He only needed Peak Sky Profound to become strongest in Sky Profound Continent!'

"Deepest apologies! Sword Sovereign! I got carried away!" The butler quickly apologised

"Forgiven! Now let's go and see them!" Xiao Tian Long said as he lead the group to main Hall training grounds.

Over there he saw a group of 20 practise stances in a fluid motion, three Xiao Sect members got instantly mesmerized how fluently all of them move, the most shocking thing is that their cultivating base slowly growing with each move l as if they stimulating their profound energy with certain actions.

'Incredible! This is just with few days help from Sword Sovereign! What if he trained them in earnest? A guarantee Continent superpower!' Xiao Moshan could only dream about such a thing.

*Hand Clap*

Xiao Tian Long got everyone's attention.

"Listen up! Our Cousins from Xiao Sect arrived!" Xiao Tian Long turned back at Xiao Kuangyun

"How many you can take?" To Tian Long question Kuangyun was in a tight spot, after seeing these disciples in action he wants to take all of them! nas Young master of Xiao Sect was in a pickle, his butler decided to help him out.

"We were not expecting that there will be people trained by you, Sword Sovereign, in this situation we should be able to take only a few, maybe five?" Xiao Moshan said to his Young Master, who nodded in turn.

"He is right, my apologies Sword Sovereign, but we can only take few of them..." Xiao Kuangyun said bitterly, he was so happy that he can take such talented people back to Xiao Sect but he completely forgot that he can only take 1 and that his other mission is to have Sword Sovereign in some sort of good graces...

"No worries, You should take ones which show the best potential..." Xiao Tian Long was not sad or angry he already imparted basic style into his cousins, now future of this Clan is set one way or other they will become quite powerful with their own power.

Kuangyun and his two subordinates nodded as they ordered to create a small tournament to see who are the lucky five to be taken with them.

~~~~~~Few hours later~~~~~~

The tournament is finished and five lucky members have been selected, each are below the twenties and is in middle realms of Nascent, none of them actually were direct descendants of elders which grated elders nerves, especially one of their descendant Xiao Yulong the young master of Xiao Clan and son of Clan leader Xiao Yunhai.

'I am supposed by second strongest in young generation! While I can't compare to my cousin who is simply a monster, I can still....' then he remembered something which he heard a few days ago, something which will shock whole Xiao Clan and maybe it will help to get into good books with his cousin Xiao Tian Long!

After all, everyone knows that Xia Qingyue and Xiao Tian Long are childhood sweethearts, and If Xiao Yulong can help them get together, he will be surely get rewarded!

A few moments later the whole of Xiao Clan came to see Xiao Sect, as everyone was gathering, Xiao Yulong moved in to talk with Xiao Kuangyun

"Young Master Kuangyun! may I have a moment of your time!?" Xiao Yulong approached the trio from Xiao Sect.

"And you are? Ah yes Xiao Yulong, son of clan leader Xiao Yunhai" Xiao Kuangyun 'quickly' remembered, more like was told by Moshan...

"How can I help you? As you know I am a very busy man!" Xiao Kuangyun tried to sound impressive.

"What if I told you there is a way to get a favour from Sword Sovereign!?" Xiao Kuangyun eyes widened, soon enough there was certain greed in them.

"I am all ears Xiao Yulong..." Xiao Sect young master said as he was giving his full attention

Xiao Yulong gathered his wits and thoughts and spilt it out...

"His brother is actually adopted! and he married to his childhood sweetheart! obviously with his endless strength he could get her back, but he didn't as his sweetheart listened to her father wishes and married Xiao Che! But she only married because she thought she is marrying Xiao Ying son! but in truth he is adopted! And I doubt if my cousin Xiao Tian Long knows that Xiao Che is adopted! " Xiao Yulong said with glee, he knows Xiao Sect young master is in this little scheme, just by one look he was receiving from young Master from Xiao Clan.

Even Xiao Kuangyun could tell where this is going! If they can tell such thing to Xiao Tian Long he will without second thought will turn his 'brother' into dust! Same way he did to Xuanyuan Wentian!

"And how you suggest we reveal his status as adopted?" Xiao Moshan asked as he is the same boat as Kuangyun, having Sword Sovereign in good books is vital for their prosperous future!

"His Grandfather confessed in front of Xiao Ying's grave! Only thing we need to for him to confirm this! And he is an extremely honourable man! He won't lie in front of his grandson! Especially his real one! " Xiao Yulong said with satisfaction.

"I see... I shall help you in this endeavour, and is this sweetheart beautiful? that we will be working this hard for?" Xiao Yulong gulped for moment.

"Very... Young master, And I know that Xiao Tian Long will kill anyone if we look at her wrongly, its a warning Young Master for your own sake..." Xiao Yulong said with fear in his voice, Xiao Kuangyun gulped himself he already experienced Sword Sovereign Cultivation power, he doesn't want to be anywhere near when he revealed his battle power...

"Noted Xiao Yulong..." the rest of them nodded as well.

"Now tell me how we will do this..." Xiao Kuangyun got himself together and asked Xiao Yulong, who smirked in turn.

"Well, this is how we do it..."

~~~~~~Main Hall~~~~~~~

Soon enough they all arrived in Main Hall where the whole of Xiao Clan was gathered Even Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue near Xiao Lie and Lingxi

Xiao Kuangyun nearly salivated seeing Beautifully dressed Xia Qingyue.

'Heavens Xiao Yulong was right! she is really looked, if Sword Sovereign didn't exist I would do anything to have her!'

Moments later Xiao Tian Long landed in front of Kuangyun.

'I hope he didn't see me stare at her!!!'

Kuangyun sweated bullets trying to control his nervousness.

"Let me introduce to my family, Xiao Kuangyun, so that no misunderstandings can happen, where I need to clean after..." Xiao Tian Long said off handily which made Xiao Sect members understand quite differently.

Mess with them and you are dead... they can read between lines after all...

"Of course Sword Sovereign..." Xiao Kuangyun said with some sweat on his browns.

They arrived at His Grandfather who respectfully did a bow, same with Xiao Sect members, while in normal circumstances they would sneer, but not in this one after all this old man is Sword Sovereign grandfather, that alone demands respect...

"It is an honour to meet Sword Sovereign grandfather!" all three said the same time.

"Its alright, you three, I hope my grandson didn't threaten you?" the old man gave Xiao Tian Long an eye full, who nervously looked away.

"Its alright Elder Xiao..." Xiao Moshan said quickly, Xiao Kuangyun nodded quickly as well.

"Good, good, Let me introduce my daughter..." He turned to teenager girl next to him" Lingxi, greet your cousins from Xiao Sect!"

"Greetings, Young Master Kuangyun! " For second Kuangyun looked lustfully at her, but he quickly hide it, he can feel that Xiao Tian Long is watching him like hawk, so he doesn't dare to show off his real colours...

"Well met, Miss Lingxi" he gracefully did a bow.

"And next is my other grandson Xiao Che, and his newlywed wife Xia Qingyue..." Bow of them did a bow when Xiao Kuangyun walked over

"Well met Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue " his eye wandered on her for the second longer, he didn't dare even have a thought about this girl.

"Well met Young Master Xiao"

"If I have a moment of your time, Young Master Kuangyun!" Xiao Yulong said gaining everyone attention.

Xiao Tian Long eyes dropped on Yulong who felt like a giant is staring down on him, he could only gulp down his nerves.

"I recently heard a rumour that, Xiao Che is adopted! I would have to ask in front of esteemed guest and Sword Sovereign himself that whatever slandered Xiao Che come out now and face justice!" everyone had sheer shock on their faces, especially Qingyue, who can't believe what she heard!

"Is this true !? Or this is slandering? " Xiao Kuangyun said with hot justice burning in his voice.

He looked at Xiao Lie waiting for him to speak, while the man had uncomfortable look on his face.

"Fifth Elder, Tell us, If this information is real or not! If we can we will help to find who spread this information" Xiao Yulong said with the urge to fix who spread such 'lie'.

Xiao Che himself is looking at his Grandfather, Xiao Yulong had put him on spot in front of everyone, Xiao Sect, and Sword Sovereign.

"I say I don't care..." Xiao Tian Long said as he released his sword intent everyone had their back hair stand up.

"No... Long'er, I think I should resolve this..." Xiao Lie said with sight" your real twin brother was switched upon your birth, your father had a sworn brother with whom he switched it, they were chased by Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, one of The Sacred Grounds, to lose them they had to do it..." Xiao Tian Long had an unreadable expression on his face while Xiao Yulong and Xiao Kuangyun wanted to start dancing as their plan was a success!

"I see... so the reason that Xiao Che is crippled is because of Mighty Heavenly Sword Region?" The old man nodded at his question.

"Indeed, his mother was poisoned and I think she used some sort of technique to save his life, instead of death your veins were damaged..." Xiao Lie said with sadness, as he stared at his other Grandson.

"I see..." Xiao Che said as he had an unreadable expression.

Everyone now waited what Sword Sovereign will decide.

"For me, it doesn't really matter if we are blood-related or not, I was taking care of you since we were kids, you will always be my little Brother..." Xiao Tian Long said with a sigh.

Xiao Che had an unreadable expression still, but Xiao Yulong saw that his plan is actually failing decided to intervene as quickly as possible

"That's maybe so Cousin! But what about Xia Qingyue? She had to marry Xiao Ying son! And Xiao Che is not one..." Xiao Yulong dropped on his knees as he felt like tons of bricks dropped on his back.

"THAT is Qingyue's choice! You have no right demand, anything cousin! next one to speak out turn will be killed on spot!" Xiao Tian Long said with ice in his voice, everyone gulped with a nod

"Its okay, brother Long...." Xiao Che said, as he pulled out the marriage certificate and gave it to Qingyue, then he turned to Xiao Lie" Grandfather what was my families name?" Xiao Lie looked shocked for a moment.

"Its Yun, Che'er, what are you planning? " Xiao Che sighed turned towards Main Gate.

"To find my own fortune, and maybe to find my own family, brother Long can't protect me forever..." Xiao Tian Long sighed hearing that...

'It seems everything is going according to my plan, Xiao Yulong played his role perfectly, without even intervening from me, you can always rely on wounded pride of a Young Master...' Xiao Tian Long smirked internally, he on purpose didn't train his Cousin Xiao Yulong...

"From now on I am Yun Che." he looked at Xiao Lie and Lingxi..." Grandfather, Little aunt " then he looked at Xiao Tian Long " Brother Long ... I have to go..." then He looked at his wife, who had a weird expression on her face, at least to Yun Che.

"Qingyue?" She looked at him then, the certificate froze in a block of ice and shattered into million pieces...

Yun Che was sad, but this action was not unexpected, he knew from the very beginning that Qingyue will never love him, from memories he got from Xiao Che, he knew that Xiao Tian Long was always there when she needed him before he left on his journey, and now that she has real chance to be with him she will take it...

"Yun Che... you are nice man, I Know that whatever wife you find she will happy to have you, but I am not that one... Good look on your quest..." She said with honest and soft voice and turned away from him, as started to look at Xiao Tian Long with anticipation.

Yun Che could only nod in this kind of situation and leave with some dignity intact...
