"Now, let's see why they tried to kill us," said Xia Fan and gazed deep into a Karmic thread that symbolized a connection between him and three assassins
As he gazed into the thread he saw thread split up into three different scenarios, because they were three people, not one person.
At first, he saw the reason why David tried to kill him, he saw him kneeling in some big hall and at the end of the hall was a big throne on which sat a man, on the man's face was a simple mask which only covered his face, Xia Fan saw that in distance were kneeling other people to the man with the mask.
He heard a man giving orders to David.
"The elder 'mad demon' will be assigned to the mission with the elder 'crying ghost' and 'sly fox' to kill the newly born prince of Darkcold empire," said a coldly, man with the mask
"Yes, sect leader," said three of them at the same time when they were given basically a suicide mission, it was possible to see fear in their eyes
When the man saw fear in their eyes he continued to say" Don't fear I will give you to accomplish this mission 'Sky sealing formation', and even one of a sect's sleeping ancestors volunteered to help you, but because of fear of waking up Xia's empire, he will only help you from distance with controlling formation.
It was possible to see men's fear in their eyes to calm down and even see excited expressions on their faces, and who knows what means term 'Sky sealing formation' and the sleeping ancestor they would speechless too.
'Sky sealing formation' is one of the three grand treasures of 'Slumbering ghost sect', the sect they are now, one of the sects that defies Xia's empire rule, they have great grudges against them from almost destroying their whole sect.
To be one termed sleeping ancestor they must be above Origin Transformation realm, so Origin Saint realm, it means that they are already on verge of dying and are almost impossible to because of every practice they make to prolong their long lifespan, sleep is the best method of them, this is why term sleeping ancestors.
Xia Fan was with Quickfall looking at this scene with furrowed brows, and unknown thoughts, although it was hard to see on the newborn face and shadowy ghost-like gray body faces.
"It looks like your family has many grudges in this world, but this is nothing special in the cultivation world," said after some time Quickfall to Xia Fan
"Maybe we should look a little deeper in karma between them and me," said Xia Fan to Quickfall when he didn't see anything other than an order to kill him
"I think this reason is enough with a good amount of time it will come to us passively, our enemies will reveal themselves, the way they acted with clear grudge shows that it is impossible to be unknown by your family" analyzed quickly Quickfall
"Right now, our most important matter is to hide corpses or fake their death with good reason, or suspicion will fall on us, and in any case, it is best to be low-key when we are newly born child," said experiencedly Xia Fan, even if kind of logic he only understood last night.
"It is a simple matter, I don't think that one who supports them will tell them that they send assassin here, so if destroy their bodies nobody will think it was us, because so-called 'Slumbering ghost ghost' will think we simply had a too strong guard and or they run into an expert and our family will think they didn't send assassins," said confidently Quickfall
The Quickfall has done cut-like motion with his shadowy hand and suddenly it looked like the bodies of assassins simply disappeared in wind with dust.
"Now we should play like true newborns and cry aloud as that fight outside has irritated us," said Xia Fan, and flown bag to his little safe bed, which looked beautiful
In fact, the whole Xia Fan room looked gorgeous because he was a prince of this empire, royalty of this continent, and even the whole world, so it isn't surprising that his room is the best possible.
There were a lot of golden decorations, the room was red with some gold painted animals, with Auspicious dragons, and flaming phoenixes covered his whole room even his bed, on which was some kind of crest which was darkly colored and had flying white continent from which came endless comfortable chill to the whole room.
Although assassins had built formation outside the royal palace to make a place, perfect for assassination after some while was heard the sound of tearing and formation got serious damage and an enraged voice was then heard.
"HOW GUTSY, YOU ARE GHOST BASTARDS TO ATTACK ROYAL PALACE" this voice was Darkcold emperor, Xia Huang father of Xia Fan and destroyed formation which isolated sound and made people let down their guard
After a moment was possible to feel a few strong enraged auras leaving the ancestral ground of Xia's family and going in pursuit of Origin Saint who ran away with 'Sky sealing formation'
Who wouldn't be angry if you were quietly sleeping and not making trouble outside and some bold ants attacked your house?
It is easy to imagine that Origin Saint who attacked them will not have a good end if caught, but when he planned an attack on the Xia family he should expect it will happen
In a matter of seconds outside of Xia Fan's room which was in fact one of Empress's rooms was heard hurried steps, and cursing after a while
"NO, HOW CAN GUARDS BE PASSED OUT," said the terrified voice of a woman was heard and running inside the room
Xia Fan is a prince of the Xia empire, although he isn't totally guarded with all kinds of hidden protectors he at least had temporary 2 early stage Origin sea guards which for a few days should be enough, because who will be so bold to attack their core area and assassinate him?
There are only a few peerless treasures that can help infiltrate the core area of Imperial city, where they live, and 'Sky suppressing formation' is one of the treasures that can help, but without the help of Origin Saint, it will be still almost impossible.
*WAAAAAHHH*
When the woman stepped inside the room and heard a loud child cry, she calmed down and was relieved that the worst haven't happened.
She came close to the crying baby with her blond hair and silver eyes and beautiful face, it was Xia Liling, Xia Fan's mother
She then got the baby into her hands to calm him down, after a moment of playing baby crying Xia Fan finally calmed down so it will not look weird.
"I would like to give you a thumb up little Fan," said Quickfall to Xia Fan
"Humpf" answered with a quiet arrogant sound Xia Fan for Quickfall still calling him little
"It is weird, how guard passed out, maybe they used some poison or attack which failed" was after while puzzlingly muttering Xia Liling when she thought more about passed out guards outside Xia Fan's room
"Oops, we didn't check on guards outside," said embarrassedly Quickfall to Xia Fan
Meanwhile, they were thinking about how to cover up the incident, to the room then came the next person, it was a man with an imposing appearance, Xia Huang who is the father of Xia Fan and emperor of the Darkcold empire
"Has happened something to little Fan?" asked worriedly Xia Huang when he came to the room
"No, but guards outside mysteriously passed out" answered Xia Liling with a worried tone too
When were the Xia Fan and Quickfall on the verge of creating the best possible excuse, the emperor spoke again.
"Don't you think it was planned assassination on our son, but at last moment Grand ancestor saved him" said this time excitedly Emperor
Even Xia Liling got an excited expression on her face when she thought about it, who quietly save their son before the assassin then Xia's family's mysterious Grand elder
Yes, who other could save little Fan, then Xia's family only expert above the Origin Saint realm
"But, wasn't he in seclusion," asked puzzledly Xia Liling
"Maybe he mysteriously felt little Fan's talent across distance and wanted to secretly bless him, when he saw disaster happen" spoke Xia Huang like he was there and was watching him
When Xia Fan and Quickfall heard their theory, they didn't know whether to cry or laugh, maybe both
Although Xia Fan's parents were talking in the language of Azure Cloud Heaven, because both Fan and Quickfall had strong souls they understood their language
"Hey little Fan, I think that I saw some great expert helping us," said with a mysterious tone Quickfall
"Huh, what but no one hel-
It took Xia Fan a while to understand what Quickfall meant
"Hehe, little Fan I will teach you my most powerful technique it is named 'Fake it till you make it'" said with an arrogant tone Quickfall
"I think I get about what is your technique," said Xia Fan with a knowing smile
When Xia Fan's parents were about to guess more about what happened they heard from a void old and ancient voice.
"He is safe I took care of the matter" his voice sounded confident like nothing in this world could stop him
When two of them heard they called in reverence "ANCESTOR!" and Xia Huang even got on his knees, Xia Liling stood because she carried Xia Fan in her hand.
"You don't have to thank me, we are one big family and I hope we will never speak about this little matter," said the ancient voice
"Yes, ancestor" answered at the same time both of Xia Fan's parents
"Uhm, I should leave" After the voice said this mysterious atmosphere that enveloped the whole place disappeared
"So it was truly ancestor," said Xia Liling with a smiling and a relieved expression on her face
"Maybe our little Fan has truly great talent," said excitedly Xia Huang
Meanwhile, parents were discussing excitedly how great Xia Fan's potential must be to wake up Grand Ancestor, little Fan had a different type of discussion.
"You look like a talented person in fooling people," said with a laugh Xia Fan to Quickfall
"Hah, it was an only daily routine," said now the child-like voice of Quickfall
After a while of excitedly discussing Xia Fan's future prospects, his parents left his room, but before that, they called more guards and even maids now inside his room.
Chen Shu and Ma Meili were amongst them, in fact, they were leaders of the maid group because they were already selected as Xia Fan's servants.
"I think that we should already start improving your cultivation anyway because if you built it as a newborn it will be very firm and with high enough cultivation we will look older," said Quickfall to Xia Fan
"So should I use some Qi art to start" asked Xia Fan
"Uhm, what is Qi art, I think you didn't fully explain things about that Qi" reminded Quickfall
At a moment when they were talking about Qi, assassins suddenly came into the room so they got another matter on hand, and then they had to pacify the parents of Xia Fan.
"Yes, I should explain to you what it means to cultivate Qi," said now seriously Xia Fan
