41 Chapter 41
Xiao hugged Xuanyin for a few more seconds as he let go, seeing it Xuanyin too let go though albeit unwillingly, her cold apathetic eyes that had melted after seeing her brother returned to normal as they moved towards Xia Yunbai who felt his body shudder as his gaze came upon Xuanyin, who was looking at Xia Yunbai as if he was worth nothing
Xiao might not have realized it but whenever Xuanyin looks at him, her gaze would not be completely cold or apathetic, a small part of her natural coldness would receed, making her a bit 'normal', as for what it would lead to? well, no one can predict the future, can they?
"Are you okay Xiao?"
Xuanyin's eyes only left Xia Yunbai when she heard Yun Yurou talking to Xiao, meanwhile, Xiao had a wry smile on his face as he looked at Yun Yurou, through the following week Yun Yurou had been trying her best to get closer to him, he could see that she was trying to make him open his hears up to her
But all her tries have been turned down by him, he did say he cared about her but that doesn't mean that he likes her that way, for heaven's sake, she was only 11 and it was impossible for him to see her that way, no matter how mature she seems but that didn't seem to dampen her spirits as she keeps trying over and over
"I'm fine Yurou"
Xiao said with a smile, well she had been successful in making him call her by her name, that in a way could be seen as an achievement, hearing Xiao's words Yun Yurou smiled as she spoke
"That's good, I was worried"
Her words were just like of a married woman seeing her husband come back safe, for some uncanny reason it all seemed to be practiced, speaking so Yun Yurou's eyes turned towards Xia Yunbai the new arrival, her eye shoot up as she asked
"Is he the 'thing' you had to deal with?"
"Yes, he will be traveling back with us"
Xiao nodded his head as he spoke, hearing his words Yun Yurou calmly accepted it as she asked
"Are we now headed to the legacy land?"
"Yes"
This time Xiao had a serious expression as he spoke, the truth was that during their travel, they had due to some stroke of luck chanced upon a legacy land opening, it was a one in a million chance and they had been the ones to find it by luck, at that time elder Fan had used an artifact to hide its aura, so that no one else would be able to detect it
'This is all truly bizarre'
Xiao thoughts weren't without proof, the legacy land they found would randomly open at different parts of the lower heavens for 2 weeks before disappearing and appearing in another place Xiao had even heard about this famous legacy land for a long time but when he had turned 16 he had stopped hearing about it
It would have seemed that someone had conquered it, there were even rumors that the cry of a Pheonix was heard but no one knows that if all this was true, as for how he identified it? well it was easy once you understand the conditions that were placed on the legacy land, such as that only people till the age of 18 was capable of entering
No matter who else tried using it,, they would be completely pushed aside, the only good thing about the legacy land was that all those who entered never died, they all just were kicked out when the time was over with their memoirs wiped out, they truly had no idea what had taken place within the legacy land
"Young master are you sure about this?"
"Yes, plus you don't have to worry, no one ever died from this legacy land, so stop worrying"
Xiao said to elder Fan who was fidgeting in his place as he looked at the red portal that seemed to be fluctuating with ominous dark red lights, right now they were standing at the place of the portal that leads to the legacy land
The legacy land, in a nutshell, is the place of rest of a cultivators with an unfathomable cultivation level, especially a one that could create a spatial dimension, not every cultivator has a legacy land, these were only seen within the third heavens, so having one in the lower heavens is an amazing mystery
"Are you sure you want to come with me, Yurou?"
"I am, I will always go where you go"
Yun Yurou said with a beautiful smile but sadly for Xiao, this was only causing a headache, in truth, he had no way to stop Yun Yurou from coming with him, she too was direct family blood of the Yun family, so in technicality, he had no way to command her, plus the opportunity of a legacy land was for all, it was not his place to stop Yun Yurou from gaining it
In the end, Xiao could only shake his head and agree to Yun Yurou's words, he turned his head towards Xuanyin who was looking at him coldly, in truth she too wanted to go with him but that's something no matter what he wouldn't agree to, while death as not an option, he would never risk Xuanyin for this
Plus from the fire elements he was feeling from the portal he was sure that the legacy belonged to a fire cultivator, which was useless for Xuanyin, he could only nod apologetically at Xuanyin for the last time before Yun Yuoru caught his hand to enter the portal, her words being
'I don't want to be separated from you'
As much as Xiao wanted to deny it he had already given up at dissuading Yun Yurou, for now, he would just go with the flow, holding hands tightly they entered inside the portal under the worried gaze of elder Fan, the cold eyes of Xuanyin, who was holding her hands until they turned red and the curious eyes of Xia Yunbai
As soon as Xiao had entered the portal he felt weightless as if he was traveling through a highly viscous liquid, a sluggish feeling filled his body but during all this time he still felt the hand that held to him tightly, soon a few seconds later he was finally able to open his eyes and as he did his eyes winded in surprise
He could see that he was floating in a wide dark place as beautiful stars and different planets, the sun shined brightly as he floated in space, it was a truly beautiful scene
"Wow...so beautiful"
As he kept floating there he heard Yun Yurou's awed voice beside him, he could see that she was floating beside him holding his hand tightly, she was looking around everything like a little child, it was then a foreboding pressure descended on both of the freezing them in place
Soon the place above them started to twist and turn to create cracking sounds, bright yellow and red flames seemed to gather above them as a humongous pair of the eye appeared above Xiao and Yun Yurou, just the appearance of the eyes were mystical and beautiful and held deep and unfathomable wisdom between them, the eyes then soon focused on Xiao and Yun Yurou as if seeing through them
"Um....?"
A gentle, smooth, and calming voice of confusion was heard, it seemed a bit feminine, and hearing it Xiao had only one though
'Fuck!'
