Chapter 92: Revealing the Truth
Xiao Ze came out of the main house and headed towards Wenxianyuan where his mother lived.
The yard was quiet once I entered it, with only one female disciple from the clan cleaning the yard with her head down.
"Where is my mother?"
When the female disciple heard this, she looked up and came up to Xiao Ze with a blushing face to salute him.
"Meet the young master!"
"Um."
Xiao Ze responded indifferently, then asked again.
"Where's the lady?"
The female disciple looked at Xiao Ze shyly and answered with her head down.
"Madam is in seclusion!"
After hearing this, Xiao Ze did not enter the house, but turned around and strode out of the yard.
Xiao Ze's mother is An Zhisu, the eldest daughter of the Yunling An family, who is obsessed with cultivation.
Ever since Xiao Ze was born, she has left him to Xiao Wuwei to take care of him, and she herself has not paid any attention to him, only focusing on her cultivation.
When Xiao Ze was a child, he would often clamor to see his mother, but every time she would either stay away from him or just glance at him and let him play by himself.
Over time, Xiao Ze gradually stopped calling for his mother. Now that Xiao Ze has grown up, the relationship between mother and son is very weak!
Xiao Ze was thinking about An Ran, so he went back to the guest room.
After Xiao Ze left, An Ran also felt a little tired. Although he had flown with a sword before, his speed was far not as fast as Xiao Ze's.
She had been tense all the way, but now that she had relaxed, she felt a little soft.
When Xiao Ze came to the guest room, he saw An Ran lying on the bed with her eyes closed and resting through the open window. Unconsciously, a tender look appeared in his eyes, and he stood there in a daze, staring at her.
After a while, he quietly walked out of the yard and returned to his own yard.
After a sweet sleep, Anran looked at the ceiling of the bed in a daze. It was the first time she had slept so soundly since her parents' accident.
Anran got up and felt refreshed. She straightened her clothes, opened the door and went out.
As soon as she walked out of the guest room, she saw Xiao Ze standing under the flower tree in the yard.
Hearing the door open, he turned around and saw fallen petals all over his head and body. The two looked into each other's eyes, as if time had stopped and one glance lasted for a thousand years.
“You’re here.”
An Ran smiled sweetly and walked in front of Xiao Ze. Flower petals fluttered down on her head, like a beautiful painting of a lady.
"I am coming."
Xiao Ze's heart was beating like a drum, and all his attention was focused on this beautiful face.
Amid the petals flying all over the sky, the two smiled at each other...
"Right here."
As the words fell, the door of the guest house was kicked open. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Baozhu came in with two girls, with her arms folded, looking proud.
She saw Xiao Ze and his partner standing under the flower tree at a glance. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, like a perfect couple.
She couldn't help but tighten her eyes, her jealousy was evident.
“Brother Ze, she is just a lowly person from the secular world and has no right to stand here.”
When Xiao Ze heard this, his eyes turned cold and his handsome face was covered with frost.
"Xiao Baozhu, what qualifications do you have to make decisions here?"
Xiao Baozhu was stunned by Xiao Ze's words, and then her eyes turned red.
Xiao Ze used to be indifferent to everyone, but he never blamed others, let alone scolded someone in such a harsh tone.
She, Xiao Baozhu, is the granddaughter of the eldest elder of the Xiao family and has a noble status. She has always been the one bullying others, and has never suffered such humiliation.
"Brother Ze, you actually scolded me for this lowly person. I'll tell my grandfather."
Xiao Baozhu covered her face, sobbed, and ran out of the yard. Seeing this, the two girls following behind also hurried away.
An Ran stood there stunned. With such fighting ability, he came to provoke her.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
There was a look of apology in Xiao Zefeng's eyes; this incident was caused by him.
"fine."
There was a bright smile in Anran's cold peach blossom eyes.
"After all, our Young Master Xiao is so graceful and handsome. It's normal for him to attract the hearts of young girls. Hehehehe..."
An Ran's clear laughter rang out, causing Xiao Ze's eyes to darken.
An Ran always looked elegant and calm in front of him, and never acted like a naughty little girl. As her beautiful eyes moved, her bright eyes, white teeth and charming appearance appeared even more beautiful.
"How dare you make fun of me. Well, you're a girl, I can't bully a girl."
Seeing An Ran laughing happily, Xiao Ze also started laughing. He usually has a sullen face, but now his smile is like the melting of ice and snow and the blooming of winter plum blossoms.
"Honestly, Brother Xiao, you should smile more often. You look so good when you smile. You keep a sullen face all day long. You've wasted the good looks your parents gave you."
Xiao Ze nodded obediently and took An Ran to sit down at the stone table in the yard.
"An Ran, you must not take Xiao Baozhu lightly. She is ruthless and will not give up easily if she sets her sights on you. Although I can protect you here, I am afraid that there will be places that I cannot take care of."
An Ran understood Xiao Ze's concerns and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Brother Xiao, I have the ability to protect myself."
An Ran stretched out her hand in front of Xiao Ze and circulated her spiritual power. The colorful spiritual power wrapped around her slender white hands, shining brightly and looking very beautiful.
Brother Xiao has been helping her so wholeheartedly, she can't keep hiding it forever, she has to let him know that she has a trump card.
Xiao Ze could hardly maintain his cold expression, and a look of shock appeared on his face. An Ran is actually also a cultivator!
But why couldn't he see that An Ran had some cultivation? Could it be that An Ran's current cultivation was higher than his?
An Ran seemed to see what Xiao Ze was thinking and explained.
"This is a technique I got by accident. Maybe it's because of this technique that others can't tell that I have any skills."
Xiao Ze nodded in understanding, and tactfully did not ask where her opportunity came from. He seemed to have thought of something and asked again.
"Why is your spiritual power colorful?"
An Ran was very satisfied with Xiao Ze's sense of boundaries and answered with a smile.
"Haha, because I have the five elements spiritual roots."
Xiao Ze frowned. Due to the lack of skills, their secluded family only had a vague understanding of many things in cultivating immortals. Cultivating all five elements was something he had never heard of before.
"Brother Xiao, the technique I got is quite special. It requires all five elements of spiritual roots to practice."
Seeing Xiao Ze looked puzzled, An Ran spoke again.
Xiao Ze thought for a while before speaking.
"Yes, that's right. Our Xiao family is all gold-based, the An family is fire-based, the Yun family is wood-based, and the Shui family is water-based. There was originally an Emei Zhang family that was earth-based, but unfortunately it declined in the end."
In this world, it is possible to cultivate all five elements. How much elixir and spiritual power are needed to maintain this? However, when he thought about the pills that An Ran had thrown away to him like garbage, he suddenly understood.
Then he changed the subject.
"An Ran, the Yao Chi Yun family will hold their annual Spirit Tea Banquet next month. I plan to take you with me then. It would be even better if the head of the Yun family comes out of retreat by then. If not, we will have to find another way."
Xiao Ze knew that she was worried about her mother's health, so he explained the plan to her in advance.
An Ran nodded, lowered her head in thought for a moment, then looked up at Xiao Ze.
"Brother Xiao, if the head of the Yun family hasn't come out of seclusion, can't we ask Madam Yun for help?"
Xiao Ze shook his head, an indescribable expression on his face.
"That Madam Yun is a remarkable woman. You will know when you meet her later."
What Mrs. Yun did was really hard to talk about. How could he tell An Ran, a girl, about it?
Seeing Xiao Ze's strange expression, An Ran guessed that there was something difficult to say, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Seeing that her mother's matter was showing some signs of improvement, the heavy stone in her heart finally loosened a little.
