"If what you said right now is authentic, then this is extremely serious. It is terrifying to know that even during the ancient Mu dynasty's reign, this constitution has been very rare.
This might be a horrible but yet good news for our clan. At least, with this we'll have an equal footing in the Wu Shui Empire like we did back then during the Mu dynasty.
It's truly a 'god-sent' blessing; Qing'er, father knew you as a walking fortune house, now even I feel it unreal as well haha!!" Bai Yunxiao quickly said in amusement.
Both men laughed slightly as the tensional feeling gradually receded. Few minutes later, Bai Qing timed the next bombshell to hit Bai Yunxiao's glowing mood.
"But Father, We can only attest to that in perhaps a decade's time.... God Xiao personally cautioned that Ming'er isn't to cultivate till he is at least sixteen years of age. Possibly, at then, Ming'er might truly activate the full potential of the Sacred Body through his Sacred Meridians. And as for the truth behind his identity, we are to dispel that once he reaches the Xiantian Realm. What a wait!" Bai Qing said gloomily with a sigh. This decade's wait was gonna be a long one.
"Senior Xiao believes that Ming'er should get to know the truth once he actually grows the cruel heart of a cultivator. Surely the Xiantian Realm is the best fit for that as he is fully in the cultivation world but tangled with mortal matters like such. " Bai Yunxiao said with a look of gradual realization on his face.
He still sighed depressingly and his spirits were low as well.
"Yes! Ming'er can become a lone wolf, a Bai Clan member or decide to search for his family in the boundless universe . But now, we are graced with an opportunity...." Bai Qing quickly added in to boost his father's spirits.
He spoke in a mysterious tone and it turned a psycho like Bai Yunxiao who got interested in it immediately.
"What opportunity could we get... speak I'm a little impatient" Bai Yunxiao hollered with a curious look.
"Ming'er had his memories sealed by his father. He doesn't remember a damn about being a son of a divinity at all. This way, we can strengthen his ties with our clan by treating him as one of us... What do you think father?" Bai Qing asked his father after giving a lewd strategy.
Of course, Bai Yunxiao liked the tone of that.
"Alright then, we can only hope this long wait of a decade becomes something great. The today is pregnant for a decade's tomorrow." Bai Yunxiao said with feigned grief as he led Bai Qing out of the distorted space quietly.
VROOM!
The space rippled slightly and they soon 'space-shifted' using strange movement techniques and returned to the ancestral courtyard.
They both parted reluctantly but with smiles wide enough to overlap their ears.
But deep within the smile, they could only see in each other's eyes, the faint hope the clan bore in the next decade
