Those evil forces would target Xiao Ying, who is still growing up. In order for her to grow up safely and healthily, the leader of the alliance took Xiao Ying to his side to raise her, also to protect her and for the future of the Iron Dimension.
Xia Liu bent down and pulled the person out of his arms. "Do you understand?"
At this point, he also lamented the unpredictability of life, thinking that his Xia Lanxingde family had been a legitimate, righteous family of supernatural abilities for over a thousand years.
Who knew that his daughter would marry a Muggle, and not only would their eldest child be a Muggle, but they would also have two children who were half-demons and half-superpowered.
Therefore, he placed all the hopes of the Xia Lanxingde family on his granddaughter Xia Xiang, who possessed a pure white physique, hoping that she could protect the Xia Lanxingde family's legacy in the Iron Dimension.
As for why Xia Xiang wasn't made the clan leader and why the Dragon Sealing Card, which the Xia family had protected for generations, wasn't passed on to Xia Xiang, it was probably because he couldn't bear to do it.
Children shouldn't carry too heavy a burden on their shoulders, or they'll stunt their growth. She's not an only child; she has two older brothers and an older sister. She can't just be a decoration.
"I understand," Xia Xiang nodded her little head, but still pouted unhappily, "But, can't we keep this secret and not tell anyone?"
Xia Liu: That makes sense... but who can seal it off?!
"Put your cleverness aside for now, go back and study hard, and improve every day. Next week, Grandpa will take you to visit your Uncle, the Demon Hunter." Xia Liu said with a straight face, pretending to be serious.
Even dogs dislike three-year-olds; reasoning with them is useless now, so I have to resort to the authority of an elder.
"Hmm—" Xia Xiang secretly rolled her eyes, her attitude extremely perfunctory.
"Hmm?" Xia Liu threatened in a deep voice when he saw the little brat's unwilling look.
This little rascal! There are four precious grandchildren in the family: the eldest is obedient, sensible, and good at studying; the second is innocent, pure, and kind; the third is mischievous and clever; and the fourth...
What went wrong with his family's parenting?!
Alliance Leader: What are your opinions on my teaching?
"Grandpa, I'm just a baby still breastfeeding, don't talk about responsibility." Xia Xiang jumped down from Xia Liu's arms without a trace of hesitation, stuck out her bottom, and picked up her baby bottle.
"I will study hard and make progress every day, so that you won't have to worry about me."
"Alright, Grandpa's precious grandson, Grandpa will miss you." Xia Liu looked reluctant, but secretly he was delighted.
That clingy little brat is finally gone! Now he can go out for drinks with the hunter again!
"Grandpa, don't be so happy yet. What you did to the child was very immoral!" Xia Xiang walked towards the West City Guard, then stopped halfway and turned around, beginning her lecture in reverse.
"According to the Psionic Convention, children cannot control their abilities. If a guardian is aware of this and still exposes their abilities to Muggles, the guardian will bear full responsibility."
"In other words, gifted individuals can't give birth in Muggle hospitals. So if it causes serious consequences, Grandpa, you'll be drinking bubble tea in the gifted prison!"
In reality, most gifted individuals are born no different from Muggles, so they generally choose to be born in relatively well-equipped Muggle hospitals. People like Xia Xiang are extremely rare...
"You little brat! I'm so angry! So angry! You're going to be the death of your grandfather!" Xia Liu jumped up in anger after hearing his grandson's words.
"Hehehe—" Xia Xiang made a face and ran quickly towards the West City Guard with her short legs, afraid that if she was even a second too slow, she wouldn't be able to sit in her chair tomorrow.
"So angry! So angry! My own son! My own son!" Xia Liu kept trying to comfort himself, then roared, "It's all that deadbeat Ye's fault!!!"
Ye Siren expressed his innocence, saying that he was the kindest person in the Xia family besides Xia Tian.

"Grandpa Alliance Leader, Xiangxiang is back~" Xia Xiang ran quickly across the corridor with her short legs, pushed open the half-closed door, entered the study, and came to the old man.
She was about to pounce on the old man's lap when a young boy sitting to the side of her suddenly lifted her up.
"Little fatty, how many times have I told you? Call me uncle, not grandpa!" The delicate-featured boy pinched Xia Xiang's chubby cheeks, frowning as he earnestly corrected her.
"Ah! You stinky Jiuwu, let go of me!" Xia Xiang waved her short arms, about to grab Jiuwu's face.
Jiu Wu dodged nimbly, completely unharmed by the chubby little hand.
"Xiao Wu, Xiang Xiang, stop fighting." The leader of the alliance watched the two of them bickering, his furrowed brows relaxed, and he stopped his work to try and mediate as usual.
Neither of them listened to reason and continued to argue relentlessly. They wouldn't let go of each other until the leader of the alliance couldn't help but cough, at which point Xia Xiang finally released her grip on Jiu Wu's face.
"Father!"
Jiuwu placed the little figure on the ground and went with her to the Alliance Leader's side.
Xia Xiang clung to the Alliance Leader's leg, her voice filled with worry, "Grandpa Alliance Leader! Are you alright?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing," the leader coughed twice, picked up the tea beside him and took a sip before he recovered.
Seeing that the alliance leader was truly alright, Jiu Wu began to ruffle Xia Xiang's hair again, pulling her off the alliance leader's lap and into his arms.
"I told you, you have to call him uncle, not grandpa."
"But, Alliance Leader... Uncle, you are about the same age as my grandfather, your hair is all white. My grandfather also said that I should call you Grandpa, so that it would show more respect for you."
Xia Xiang frowned and spoke seriously, but under Jiu Wu's threatening gaze, she changed her mind.
Alliance Leader: "......"
He just looks older than his age! He's actually only in his forties, and he's even the oldest person in the family to reach this age!
