Xiao Lan felt nervous as she looked down at her feet. It was natural, as this was the first time she had truly opened her heart in her two lifetimes.
Even in her first life, she had not told anyone about the Ancestral Phoenix Flames and their nature. It was her biggest secret, and by disclosing it to her new family, she wanted to show them that she truly felt at ease with them.
She wanted to show that she trusted them.
But it was also because she wanted to convince herself. She wanted to see if she truly trusted her new family. She also wanted to see their reaction to her disclosure.
In all honesty, she was expecting nothing much. All because she knew her family and knew they would just be happy for her and feel angry for her.
