A Typical Reincarnation

Chapter 58 - All Preparations Ready!

"Alright. Lin Hu, Laoyao, stand down with the seventeen others and wait outside," Xu Qi ordered the nineteen renamed orphans.

After they left, Xu Qi looked at the remaining five orphans in the cavern, then commanded, "Xiaowu, step forward!"

Xiaowu, who was in a daze after watching Lin Hu and the others with an envied gaze, hurriedly knelt on the ground upon hearing his young master's call. He was so nervous that his hands were shaking.

"Xiaowu, this young master is going to ask you a question. Answer me truthfully, okay?" Xu Qi said plainly, looking at the trembling Xiaowu.

"As you wish, Young Master. Xiaowu will definitely spill everything he knows truthfully." His trembling gradually stopped as he spoke. This showed his mental fortitude was still acceptable.

Xu Qi nodded in satisfaction, then said, "From today on, I will be entrusting my, and the entire clan's lives to you. Do you dare take on the burden?"

"Ah?! Yes, I do, Young Master!" Xiaowu blanked for a moment, but he unexpectedly answered decisively immediately after.

"Good! Xiaowu, you will lead the other three Nightlords, becoming the Four Great Nightwatch of our Xu Clan! And you shall be its team leader; as this young master's shadow! My purpose for getting the others to leave first was to keep your identities a secret; do you understand?!" Xu Qi asked sternly.

"Understood, Young Master!" Xiaowu answered steadfastly. However, his heart was thumping heavily, a great storm wrecking his mind. Becoming the shadow of the young master; what a great honor!

After which, Xu Qi renamed Xiaowu and the other three cultivating as Nightlords as Zhong, Zhen, Xian, and Liang1. With Xiaowu as their leader, all of them bestowed the surname Xu.

Xu Qi beckoned Xiaowu to his side, then whispered a few sentences in his ears. Then, Xiaowu led the other three and left the cavern.

"Young Master, they're all assigned their roles. What about me and my sister?" Qian Yun, in her white robes, asked blankly.

Now, there was only her and Xu Qi left in the cavern. Seeing as everyone else was entrusted with their own mission and roles, yet she and her absent sister were left out, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Xu Qi smiled and said, "As for you and Qian Yin, I have other plans for you two. Although Qian Yin isn't here now, please pass on my upcoming words to her; You and Qian Yin will be the final trumps of Xu Clan! You two shall become the twin sovereigns of our Xu Clan! Your authority will only be second to me, with Qian Yin as the Mellifluous Purple Princess, and you as the Melodious White Princess! Are you willing?"

"Twin sovereigns? Second to Young Master? Ah? I'm willing. But Young Master, why didn't you announce this in their presence?" Qian Yun was pleasantly surprised at the importance Xu Qi attached to the twins. However, she was confused to why he would only speak of it when they were the only ones remaining here.

"Oh, Qian Yun, you'll understand once you ask your sister about it. I believe she'll understand my intentions. You have to pay more attention to that mouth of yours in the future; don't blurt out everything to people," Xu Qi chuckled. He knew Qian Yun was someone who couldn't keep her mouth in check, but was sure that Qian Yin would constantly remind her. Thus, he didn't need to worry too much about it.
