Responsible?
Xiao Hechuan was taken aback and looked down at the woman sitting on his lap.
Do you know what it means to be responsible?
Liu Yin nodded, "I know, I was preparing for a martial arts contest to find a husband before you called me here."
"You interrupted my plans, shouldn't you compensate me in some way?"
Xiao Hechuan's hand on Liu Yin's waist suddenly tightened. He didn't understand why he suddenly felt a little depressed.
"What are you going to compensate for?"
"My dear husband, why don't you become my husband?" Liu Yin blinked, her voice sweet and cloying.
In that instant, the man thought of many things, such as her identity and the situation that had occurred that day.
What she said last night was indeed true.
From this day forward, his status has indeed plummeted. Without his companion beast, he is no different from a useless person in the eyes of others.
In that case, the Xiao family probably won't need him anymore.
"Okay," Xiao Hechuan replied in a deep voice.
"Really?" Liuyin gently poked his shoulder.
"Yes, I'll take you away from here," the man said earnestly.
Although his mother is dead, she left him a lot of things, so even if he leaves the Xiao family, he won't live too badly.
Besides, if she stayed here...
For some reason, Xiao Hechuan didn't want her to see his disheveled appearance.
"Brother Achuan, when are we leaving?" Liuyin asked softly, hugging the man's neck.
The man lowered his head and remained silent for a while. "Tomorrow."
"OK."
——
After leaving the courtyard, Xiao Bai wandered around aimlessly, feeling somewhat lost. The young master's spiritual power was clearly so strong, so how come he had nothing?
When he went out today, he felt that everything had changed, and he even heard many people secretly talking badly about the young master.
But young master, you're perfectly fine.
Xiao Bai suddenly felt a little lost. He would also be coming of age next year. What if he had nothing to show for it?
While wandering around aimlessly, Xiao Bai saw a large crowd gathered ahead, creating a somewhat noisy scene.
"Have you heard? Xiao An is really lucky! The family wants to adopt him as their godson!"
"He summoned the Lion King."
What level is the Lion King?
"I don't know, but he must be very powerful, otherwise the patriarch wouldn't have tried to win him over."
"This is truly a meteoric rise."
Everyone knows Xiao An; he's just an ordinary servant, but no one expected him to have such a strong talent.
Xiao Bai stood at a distance, listening to their conversation, and was somewhat stunned.
Actually, after telling the head of the family that news last night, he went back and was unaware of what happened in the latter half of the night.
I woke up early this morning and rushed to the kitchen, still unaware of the news.
So that's how it is.
The patriarch is planning to adopt a son, which is why they treat the young master this way. Otherwise, even without a companion beast, the young master would still be the patriarch's only son.
Should we tell the young master about this? Xiao Bai suddenly hesitated.
——
Xiao Yuncheng's decision to adopt Xiao An as his godson was made after careful consideration.
There was nothing at Tsurukawa's side, so he should choose a new successor. Just as he was thinking about adopting another child, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.
"Master, over there..."
Xiao Yuncheng frowned and asked, "What is it?"
"There are lions over there!"
"It was summoned by Xiao An!"
Xiao Yuncheng suddenly stood up. "Take me there."
Even though he didn't know who Xiao An was, as long as he had the surname Xiao, that was enough. Xiao Yuncheng had made up his mind.
"Master, this is the place."
Xiao Yuncheng looked at the dilapidated door in front of him, with claw marks on the eaves, and quickly walked inside.
The man immediately noticed the lion lying on the ground.
Lions are enormous, with manes that extend all the way to their shoulders, giving them an exceptionally majestic appearance.
Xiao Yuncheng was overjoyed; this beast looked to be at least level six or higher.
It seems that heaven still favors the Xiao family. Even though his son failed to summon the spirit, the servants in the household have such talent.
But what about Xiao Anren?
The companion beast is here, but where is the others?
Xiao Yuncheng looked around and finally found a man with a bruised and swollen face in a hidden corner. His clothes were almost torn to shreds and covered in blood.
Only then did he realize that something was wrong.
The lion was just lying on the ground, and even though its fur covered it, it still looked somewhat sad. It seemed that Xiao An had not made it willingly sign the contract.
However, once it got here, it couldn't leave.
After settling Xiao An in, Xiao Yuncheng ordered his men to guard the courtyard, and the other servants were to find another place to stay.
Xiao Yuncheng valued Xiao An highly, so he gave him the best medicine.
But as soon as he woke up, he had to deal with the lion. After all, it was he who summoned it, so it was safer for Xiao An to handle it himself.
So it wasn't until the next day that Xiao Yuncheng realized he hadn't gone to see his son yet.
People on the Xuanwu Continent only have one chance in their lifetime to summon their companion beast; his son is essentially useless.
The Xiao family could not allow someone without a companion beast to succeed as the head of the family. Even though he felt sorry for his son, Xiao Yuncheng still had to consider the family's interests.
If this gets out, the Xiao family will probably become a laughing stock among the major aristocratic families.
Xiao Hechuan was exceptionally talented from a young age, and all the elders of the Xiao family, including himself, believed that the companion beast he summoned must be incredibly powerful.
