"Are you feeling better?"
Xiao asked as he looked at Xia Yunbai who had finished crying and had now gotten his calm back, he stood tall with his weak and skinny body, his eyes were red from all the crying as he tried to look calm and collected, hearing Xiao's question Xia Yunbai nodded his head with a calm look as he spoke
Xiao nodded his head at Xia Yunbai's words, he could feel a large part of Xia Yunbai's hostility towards him had disappeared, not only that a large part of the craziness that was surrounding him also seemed to have receded, Xia Yunbai now looked calmer and relaxed, it would seem that crying all out had helped him release some of the burdens he bears
"What should I do now?"
Xia Yunbai asked, though not completely at least he trust Xiao a bit for now, hearing Xia Yunbai's question Xiao thought for a moment before he withdrew a ring from his pocket as he threw it towards Xia Yunbai who caught it a bit clumsily with his skinny arms, he held the ring as he looked at the ring intensely
Xiao answered Xia Yunbai's question and seeing the confusion on his face Xiao spoke
"Right now you lack a lot, starting from cunningness to the knowledge about the world, starting from now for one year you would follow me, during that time I will teach you all you should know and after it you will begin your journey for revenge"
Hearing the words revenge Xia Yunbai's eyes turned red for a moment before they turned to normal, Xiao didn't miss that as he continued
"I will make sure that you would know all that you need to survive and after that, you will hunt on your own, the ones who follow the path of slaughter gets stronger alone, and for you the more despair and dangerous you face the stronger you get and the closer you get to your revenge, you understand?"
Xia Yunbai nodded his head seriously at my words, satisfied I smiled, while Xiao might be able to teach everything to Xia Yunbai within three months, he would at least need a year to make sure that he gets Xia Yunbai's loyalty
Xiao was not doing charity, in return for all his help and support he would be receiving a future powerhouse at his beck and call and Xia Yunbai knows this too, after all, nothings free in this world, with that Xia Yunbai placed the ring he got in his finger as he nodded his head seriously as he spoke
"Where to now, young master?"
Xiao thought as he smiled and pointed to the fainted elder Fan
After that, they both spend some time waking up elder Fan, who after waking up had no idea what had happened before he had fainted, all he remembered was walking away after he was told to move away and the things after that were blank for elder Fan
It would seem that elder Fan's mind had directly removed the memory of the bloodlust to protect his brain from not overloading, after that Xiao just spend some time explaining to elder Fan how he would be taking Xia Yunbai as his servant, to which elder fan hesitated for a moment before agreeing
"Are you sure about this young master?"
Xiao replied to elder Fan who even now was trying to remember what had happened before he fainted, Xiao didn't mind the elder fan's question as it was not the smartest idea to bring Xia Yunbai with him but to the outside world he's already dead and there's nobody that cares about him too, so it was all okay
"As you wish young master"
Elder Fan nodded his head at my words as he waved his hand as he started to surround us with Qi, as both Xiao and Xia Yunbai was lifted from the ground as they floated up towards the sky, a cultivator was capable of flight once he had reached the Mortal Core Realm, with that they flew in the sky as they flew towards a specific area
Xiao looked at Xia Yubai who was looking down towards the ground with awe, till now Xia Yunbai had stood behind him and acted as an appropriate servant, moreover, he didn't ask him about anything weird related to him, things such as how had had such a high slaughter bloodlust or how he was.....well him
It would seem that he knew what to ask and say, it also shows that Xia Yunbai lets out more than he shows outside
'It's not a problem I have one year to straighten him up'
With these thoughts, they flew quickly as they reached a chariot that was kept at the side, as Xiao left to deal with Xia Yunbai he didn't want Xuanyin nor Yun Yurou with him, Xiao had a keen idea that things won't go the way he wants and he didn't want both of them to be embroiled in this, it didn't take long for them to reach the ground as they came upon Xuanyin and Yun Yurou who were both waiting, as soon as they landed Xuanyin rushed towards them as she hugged Xiao
"Whoa....whoa....looks like someone was worried"
Xiao spoke as he hugged Xuanyin back, Xuanyin hugged Xiao tightly as she raised her beautiful blue eyes as she looked at Xiao, her small arms were raised she started to hit Xiao's chest with powerless hits
"Oh, looks like you're really angry"
"Okay..okay I know I'm wrong"
Xuanyin didn't relent as she still kept hitting Xiao's chest with her tiny smooth white hand that couldn't currently hurt anybody, Xiao couldn't help but find it a bit cute when he saw his sister worrying for him, with a heartened smile he hugged Xuanyin as he patted her back
"I'm sorry Xuanyin but this was something I had to do alone and look aren't I alright as I promised?"
"...."(humph, I don't care)
"Okay, it's my fault, what can I do to make it up to you?"
"...."(maybe a pat might help)
To the outside eyes, all they saw was Xuanyin running up to Xiao hugging and hitting him in the chest as she looked into his eyes, meanwhile magically whatever she thought seemed to be understood by Xiao
Xiao smiled fondly as he started to pat Xuanyin's head with warm pats, feeling the pat Xuanyin closed her eyes as she seemed to be melted into it, she was just like a pat purring at a familiar touch, Xiao 'talked' with Xuanyin a bit more before he turned to the smiling Yun Yurou
