Chapter 7 : The protagonist ability and stupidity
" Don't speak rubbish, who told you to change your appearance to a child?, A lazy voice answered the little girl's complain. A middle age man clad in simple red Clan robes enters the room and walks towards them. Tall and lean with a gentle looking face. This is Song Tian. The current Clan Lord of Song Clan.
"Father," Song Xi made a little bow as courtesy. His heart almost made a flip when the two of them suddenly appear! His father nods at him and settled on the opposite chair. The steward came with refreshments and tea , he poured them some tea then leave.
"Xi shi, do I look bad?," His mother ask and made him look at her. Yes, this little girl is Song Tian's wife. Song Hua,the madam of the Song Clan. She has this penchant of changing her appearance whenever she feels like it . Apparently,she chose to be a young girl now and her husband probably doesn't like it .
"You were always beautiful,mother, " what can he say? Of course ,he needs to pleased her.Song Tian didn't mind the two of them and just sip his tea.
"Xi shi, are you cultivating too much this days till you collapse?," Then his mother put her fingers on his pulse. " Ah Xia said your divine meridian is in chaos ,"
"It is nothing to concern about . I just made a little mistake in cultivating," Don't be fooled with mother's appearance. She is powerful. Just her name can make her enemies running for their lives. And just like him,she is a high level mage.
" A mistake can lead to qi deviation. Be more careful Xi zhi, your soul is already - ,"
" Wife, " Song Tian look at his wife as if stopping her.Song Hua gives her husband an innocent look.
He is observing the two of them closely . Their gesture is subtle he almost didn't catch it,. " their reaction is something eh ...," He just need to take note of it.
"Xi shi, do you have any dealings with the Fang clan recently?," His father ask him.
"Fang clan? " His mind instantly make a fast review before answering "No,I don't have any reason to approach that clan," he calmy answer.
"Hhmm, then why is the clan Lord of Fang clan is asking for you specifically to attend the convention of the four clans?," So,this is the reason why his father wants to meet him . Fang Clan is the ruling Clan of this generation and the leader of the four clans, what does he wants from Song Xi for him to request his attendance?
Every hundred years , the four clan convene for their alliance.The Clan leader,some elders and some of the most impressive youth in their clan will always attend. The young ones will compete for their glory and reputation. It is an event everyone is looking forward to. There were times when a non member of the four clans will attend. Usually, they are important persons of the Yong Yuan dalu.
"Hhmm, maybe it's about the opening of The Burial mountain of Ji Zhu," he nonchalantly answer. Song Tian cough when he suddenly drop that piece of information.
"Oh, the ancient clan of Ji burial grounds?,is it opening this decade?," His mother interjected, clearly excited when she heard the word Ji Zhu.
"are you certain you can divulge such important information to us" Song Tian inquired.
"Hhmm, it's nothing vital, this news will probably blow up even before the actual opening of the burial mountain" he said while eyeing the plate full of honey filled cookies . For the first time after arriving in this world. He finally saw something familiar!
" Fang Clan is the one who found it, but it is better for them not to be too selfish about it"
"Fang Clan...., Ji Zhu... And you.." Song Tian whispers to himself before dismissing the thoughts running through his mind.
"Hhmm" Song Xi answered before dipping his hand to the plate and take a bite to the mouth watering cookies.
That burial mountain of JiZhu is the treasure trove of the Ji clan that died out millennias ago. At their peak of power, They are powerful as the Song clan. But a disaster struck that causes their downfall. They hide their clan grounds in a dimension before dying out. When the dimension is accidentally reveal. The Fang clan is the one who accidentally found it. But anything connected to the Ji Zhu burial mounds nowadays are too important that no one can take the heavy responsibility just by themselves. This matter can't be weight with any amount of treasures.
" If it is this year,there will definitely be a discussion about it," Song Tian said and look directly at him. " Is your body fit to do the task? Or will it cause you injury?, answer me truthfully," he added. He knows how his son sometimes over do things . He has the history of injuring himself just to finish a high risk task. The clan won't let him sacrifice his own health just because of his position.
" There is no problem . I'll just ask for assistance when there is something I can't deal with," .He didn't notice the small smile appeared on his face when he answered. He find out that facing the two of them feels refreshing, far from what he imagine it to be . He likes the concern this family is showing him .
The two audience stop and stare at him. He looked at the two of them and realized the smile on his face.
"Aaahhhhh! !! Are You a fucking stupid !? What's with that smile!? This Song Xi has a face that is expressive as a stone!!! Why did you smile? How could you smile? Aaahhhhh!!! That's OOC! You fucking OOC !, " He is already screaming wildly inside. He wants to drown in the River of tears inside his mind . While on outside, He calmly stow his smile and return to being the stone statue he is supposed to be.
" My son, are you alright?" His mother sit on his side and touches his face. " I heard you disappeared for a while, is your body alright?
Those dainty little fingers softly touches his cheeks . So warm...as if the warmness of those fingers calms him down, what is this? why do I feel like crying? There is this over whelming feeling of relief runs throughout his body. Strange. Maybe, this is Song Xi's lingering feelings for his family.
"I am fine" he softly said when he look at the little girl beside him.
" Your Son is already this big , don't worry too much, he'll never be in any dangerous situation specially now" his father said while handing him the whole plate of cookies on the table. " And you, eat this. Why is it you are still getting thin? Are your attendants not taking care of you?, You can kick that Wu Rufeng out of here anytime you want, just tell your father and I'll kick that walking stone face out of here!"
"What are you saying? Can you even do that?" Song Hua smirk on her husband while putting the whole plate of cookies her husband is handing over in a pouch and give it to Song Xi.
"Take that, I know my son love that little sweet things"
