"B-b-but how?!" Fatty Bao stammered.
He was the one that confirmed his Brother Wu Xian's death so he is the one at most disbelief when the man claimed himself as the deceased brother of his.
However, if he looks carefully, he doesn't doubt the familiarity he felt with the man despite the extreme changes in appearance.
Nevertheless, Fatty Bao is the one that brings the brother's cold body to the Wu Clan and the clan called the imperial doctor to check on him. But even them are helpless and have confirmed that Wu Xian has passed away before he brought him to the clan.
That's why he wanted to avenge his brother's death but lacking the power to do so, he asked for Wu Clan's help.
But at the same time, the Wu Clan already knew who is the person that killed Wu Xian and the background of the murderer is too formidable for them to seek the revenge. So, even if Fatty Bao fought to his death to plead the Wu Clan to fight against the Shao Clan, they will remain indifferent.
The Wu Clan was as shocked as fatty Bao as they suddenly receive a shocking revelation. The handsome, powerful and undoubtedly a genius in sword cultivation young man is actually the useless concubine's deceased son?!
How could that be?
Wu Xian smiled as he glanced at Fatty Bao.
"Da Bao, I'm back."
[Da Bao is the nickname Wu Xian gave to Shen Jiabao. It means Big Bun.]
Fatty Bao immediately let out snot from his nose and cried out loud as he rushed to hug the brother.
"Wuwuwu, Brother Xian. Boohoohoo, you left me alone for one year. I thought you are gone for real." Snots coming out of his nose and block his breathing channel. Even then, he hugged the man with no intention of letting go.
"I'm alive, thanks to Lord Tian. He saved me." Wu Xian felt conflicted as Fatty Bao hugged him. Fatty Bao used to be taller than him and bigger but now he is in an adult body, he has become taller than the fatty Bao, no longer the thin boy he used to be.
Instead of him, Fatty Bao is the one that seemed smaller. He patted the chubby boy's back to console the boy.
At the back, Li Yiyuan smiled then pouted and smiled again before pouting again.
Although he knew that fatty Bao and Wu Xian is like brothers and is happy for them to be able to reunite, he just doesn't like it when other people hug his crush! He chewed on a new handkerchief the moment he saw Wu Xian patted Fatty Bao's back.
Yi Ling and Yi Zhao snickers as they saw the expression Li Yiyuan made. Watching this teacher is more interesting than watching a theater.
Disregard the noisy people behind him, Tian Xuan crossed legged and arms while nodding his head approvingly. His eyes were filled with warmth as he looked at Wu Xian's direction.
"Wu Xian is a good person, naturally I saved him. But since it's only his soul that came to me so I can only give him a new body to save him. So that he could be more comfortable with his new body, he had to cultivate again from the beginning for a year." He said as he turned to the Wu Head Patriarch.
"If not for that reason, we would have come back much earlier."
He doesn't dare to say that Wu Xian is actually the one that wanted to stay in the Celestial White Forest for a while longer until he is powerful enough to destroy the Shao Clan. It is better to tell a white lie than having to deal with troublesome situation.
The Wu Clan was rendered speechless when they heard the boy said it so casually as if it wasn't anything much to save a wandering soul. But, no one dared to think that saving a wandering soul as an easy fit. Furthermore, the body that he gave is evidently much better than Wu Xian's previous body.
They have heard of the Soul Recorder occupation before but this is the first time they have seen the result of that ability for themselves.
It is said that only the academy in Conferred Empire have such occupation and only royalty can employ them because it is both noble and dangerous occupation.
Although they don't know how the boy obtained the body, they were confident that not even the Soul Recorder in the Conferred Empire could do the same thing like the boy did for a wandering soul.
If even someone so formidable from the Conferred Empire could not do the same thing as the boy, naturally, no one else can.
The head patriarch Wu became more respectful of the silver-haired boy and dared not ask anything more even though he has many questions in his mind.
He told the servant to bring the concubine Qian to the main hall while he entertains the guests.
The servants placed chairs for each of the guests and confections on the small table beside them. Wu Xian didn't eat the confections instead he answered most questions that the Wu Clan asked him.
If he doesn't want to answer, he will just smile and say that he doesn't know even though he knew it.
He also took the opportunity to ask about the Shao Clan. Wu elders answered his question honestly so Wu Xian was able to find out their recent activities. He is already preparing to take back what was his from the Shao Clan and make sure to make them pay for playing dirty.
While the silver-haired boy does listen to the conversation intently, Tian Xuan happily eats the confections and made the mood of the hall much better.
That is until he rewarded the servants that cooking a low tier spiritual stone each and made the Wu Clan scalps tingling.
The servants fainted from fright as they received the spiritual stone while the Wu Head Patriarch eyes brimming with interest.
If Tian Xuan came from Conferred Empire, it will be difficult for him to ask for the spiritual stone but Tian Xuan never mentioned anything about being an affiliate with the Conferred Empire. That's what made the Wu Head Patriarch even happier.
When Tian Xuan realized that he has done something wrong, in his mind, he just stuck his tongue out. 'My mistake, I forgot that you are 7th tier kingdom.'
Tian Qiu just shook his head and commented on that thought.

'Silence you!' He slapped the back of the falcon's head lightly and looked at the Wu Clan feeling awkward to continue eating.
