Leading Yun Che and Xia Yuanba into the Elders’ Hall, Sikong Han sat down and carefully looked at Yun Che again. There was no arrogance on his face as the Grand Elder of the Imperial Xuanfu. Instead, he looked concerned: “You said you are the grandson of Brother Xiao, but why is your last name Yun?”
“Yes, yes, brother-in-law, why did you say you were Yun Che just now? Um, did you find your biological parents after being kicked out of the Xiao Clan?” Xia Yuanba, who had been full of questions for a long time, asked hurriedly.
Yun Che said, “I am not Grandpa’s biological son. But Grandpa raised me for sixteen years, just like he was his own son. Half a year ago, I was expelled from the Xiao Clan. Before I left, Grandpa told me that my real surname was Yun.”
"I see." Si Kong Han nodded slowly: "In fact, I have heard of these things as well."
Yun Che raised his head, a look of surprise on his face.
Sikong Han sighed and said, "Half a year ago, the son of the Xiao Sect's leader... I remember his name was Xiao Kuangyun. He passed through Xinyue City on his way to Liuyun City. After all, that was the movement of the Xiao Sect's main sect, so our Xinyue Xuanfu also paid a little attention. Later, some news came. It was insignificant news to others, but it was related to Brother Xiao, so I asked more about it, and I knew that he had been locked up in the back mountain of his home, and his grandson was also expelled from the house. I wanted to help Brother Xiao several times, but it was too far away. As the elder of Xinyue Xuanfu, I couldn't leave for a long time, so, alas..."
"Elder Sikong, don't blame yourself. I'm sure my grandfather will be very grateful if he knows about your kindness." Yun Che bowed and said. Although Sikong Han had not taken any action, it was obvious that he was genuinely worried about Xiao Lie's condition.
“By the way, how did Elder Sikong get to know Grandpa back then?” Yun Che asked.
"Haha, that was seven years ago. I took my then twelve-year-old son to Floating Cloud City for some business, but I didn't expect that my whereabouts were known to one of my enemies, who set an ambush there. As soon as I entered the city, I was ambushed. I tried my best at the time, but I could only protect myself and had no time to take care of my son. Just when my son was in danger of being killed, Brother Xiao appeared and saved my son's life... I, Si Konghan, only had one son in my life. If it weren't for Brother Xiao, I would have no descendants. I have kept this great favor in my heart all these years, and I don't know when I can repay it."
Thinking of what happened back then, Sikong Han sighed. He looked at Yun Che and said with admiration: "Speaking of which, you are indeed worthy of being Brother Xiao's grandson. At such a young age, you have already broken through the initial Xuan realm and entered the initial Xuan realm. This kind of talent is top-notch even in this New Moon City. Your grandfather is the number one expert in Floating Cloud City. Your future achievements will definitely not be inferior to your grandfather."
“What?” Xia Yuanba’s eyes widened. “Elder Sikong, you said my brother-in-law has already reached the Nascent Profound Realm? This, this… Elder Sikong, did you make a mistake? My brother-in-law’s Profound Veins have been crippled since he was a child, and he has always been stuck at the First Profound Realm. How could he possibly be at the Nascent Profound Realm?!”
“Oh?” Sikong Han showed doubt on his face, but the profound energy aura of Yun Che that he sensed was clearly at the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm.
Yun Che said calmly: “This is a long story… But my current profound strength is indeed at the first level of the Nascent Profound Realm. I wonder if my current profound strength is qualified to enter the Xuanzhi Mansion?”
While speaking, Yun Che poked Xia Yuanba without leaving any trace. Xia Yuanba, who was about to speak, immediately shut up, but his eyes were wide open, and he exclaimed in his heart again and again...Oh my God! My brother-in-law has actually reached the Nascent Profound Realm? How is this possible, how is this possible! !
Looking at the expressions of Yun Che and Xia Yuanba, Si Kong Han knew that there must be some hidden story, but Yun Che obviously didn't want to say more, and was deliberately diverting the topic. Si Kong Han didn't ask any more questions, and said with a smile: "Yun Che, how old are you this year?"
"Sixteen years old." Yun Che answered truthfully. At the same time, he felt a little relieved.
"Sixteen years old?" Sikong Han's face was filled with shock, and he stood up from his chair: "I originally thought you were already seventeen or eighteen years old, but it turns out you are only sixteen! At the age of sixteen, you have already entered the Nascent Profound Realm. Looking at the entire New Moon Profound Palace, there are no more than ten people like you... If you were born in a mid- to high-level sect, your age must be much higher than now!"
Xia Yuanba was stunned by what he heard, and he held back his words several times when he wanted to.
“Elder Sikong, you are too kind.” Yun Che said humbly… If Sikong Han knew that he was only at the first level of the Elementary Profound Realm half a year ago, he would probably be so shocked that he would fall off his chair.
"Come, let me see your talent." Sikong Han waved to him.
Yun Che took two steps forward and stood in front of Sikong Han. When Sikong Han placed his hand on his pulse, he quickly held his breath and used his profound energy to forcibly block thirty-eight of the fifty-four fully opened Xuanguan. Only sixteen were left unobstructed. However, this level of concealment could only conceal the most superficial inspection. If it went a little deeper, it would be directly discovered. However, those who wanted to join the New Moon Xuanfu would do their best to show their talents in the assessment. Sikong Han would never have thought that there would be people who would try to deliberately conceal it, so he basically would not spend more effort to inspect it in depth.
Si Kong Han’s hand gently touched Yun Che’s wrist and then left immediately. He then nodded in amazement, “No wonder! He actually opened the Sixteen Mysterious Gates innately. This is undoubtedly a genius level! He is also the most desired talent in our Xuanzhi Mansion!”
At this point, Sikong Han was already a little excited. Originally, he had thought of taking Yun Che into the New Moon Profound Palace in order to repay Xiao Lie's kindness, so that he would have a place to stay. But now seeing Yun Che's talent, let alone the relationship with Xiao Lie, even if he had to drag Yun Che down by force, he would still keep him. With the innate opening of the Sixteen Profound Gates, such a talent would receive high-level preferential treatment even if he joined the giant sects in New Moon City, and the resources and influence of those high-level sects would be much better than that of New Moon Profound Palace. Yun Che's arrival was simply a gift to New Moon Profound Palace.
There are only seven people who have opened the sixteen gates of the Xinyue Xuanfu, and at most one or two are added every year. Because generally people with such talents will join those big sects.
“Yun Che, do you really want to join our Xuanzhi Mansion?” Sikong Han looked at Yun Che with a burning gaze: “If you really want to join, you can be exempted from the assessment and everything. I can make the decision directly!”
Xia Yuanba's mouth opened wide, and his brain was basically in a short-circuit state.
“…Can I join Class 1?” Yun Che asked.
"Of course, no problem!" Si Kong Han slapped the table, "With your current profound strength and talent, you are fully qualified to enter Class 1 directly!"
Yun Che thought about it for a moment, then nodded slightly: “Okay.”
Si Kong Han immediately grabbed the table with both hands, his movements were so fast that he seemed to be afraid that Yun Che would run away. After a while, he slapped a silver armband on Yun Che's shoulder: "So, from now on, you are a disciple of my New Moon Xuanfu Xuanzhifu. This is your identity badge, and the key to your residence."
“Today happens to be the day when the new palace lord takes office. There will be a banquet for the new lord in the evening. I have a lot of things to do, so I won’t keep you here any longer. Yuanba, take Yun Che to his residence to settle down, or take him to meet his future senior brothers and sisters… By the way, Yun Che, are you interested in attending the banquet in the evening?” Sikong Han suddenly said.
“Can I participate?” Yun Che asked in surprise.
"The arrival of the new Palace Master is a major event that will shake New Moon City. We have sent invitations to all the sects in New Moon City that have enough prestige and influence. I believe that they will always give face to the new Palace Master, and there will definitely be a gathering of elites. Generally speaking, only the core disciples of our Xuanzhi Mansion can participate in such occasions. Although you have just joined our Xuanzhi Mansion today, you have a good talent and are barely qualified. Taking advantage of this banquet, you can get to know all the top sects in New Moon City at once, which will be of great help to your future stay in New Moon City."
Yun Che naturally understood immediately that the main reason why a new disciple was allowed to attend such an important banquet was because of his grandfather’s kindness to him, and thus he was given special care so that he could learn about the distribution of forces in New Moon City as soon as possible. At that moment, he said with gratitude: “Thank you, Elder Sikong, I will definitely attend on time... I wonder if I can bring Yuanba with me?”
Si Kong Han hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Okay, Yuanba, you can come along when the time comes. Yun Che has just arrived at New Moon Xuanfu, and everything is unfamiliar to him. You can just lead the way for him. I will arrange an extra seat."
After leaving the Elder Hall, Xia Yuanba was still in a daze. After walking a long way, he took a deep breath and said with wide eyes, “Brother-in-law! What’s going on? Are you really entering the Profound Realm now? But, haven’t your Profound Veins always been disabled? Even if your Profound Veins suddenly recovered, it’s impossible for you to be so powerful all of a sudden! Even more powerful than my sister!”
“This…” Yun Che pondered for a long time and didn’t know how to explain it to him. He was even more unwilling to deceive him, so he could only say vaguely: “Yuan Ba, this matter is a secret. I will tell you when the time is right in the future. However, it’s best not to tell others about my disabled profound veins, otherwise someone might have bad intentions.”
“Ah…oh.” Xia Yuanba scratched his head in confusion. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said, “Brother-in-law! I suddenly understand! You must have been pretending before, right? Otherwise, how could you enter the Profound Realm all of a sudden? This must be the case, brother-in-law, you are so cunning. You fooled all of us. Hahahaha.”
Yun Che shrugged his shoulders and let Xia Yuanba be so self-righteous. He moved his eyes to look at the New Moon Profound Palace in his sight, and felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
"How long do you plan to stay here?" Jasmine's voice suddenly came to his mind.
"It depends. If I can have a good enough experience here, I will stay longer. If not, I will leave immediately. The main reason why I stay here is that I want to learn some profound skills. After all, the profound skills you know are too advanced, and I can't learn them, so I can only think of this solution."
Jasmine said nothing more.
