Volume 3, Chapter 12 – Could She Be My Big Brother’s Daughter-in-Law… Let’s Have a Sparring Match?

“Chief Celestial Augur, my foolish big brother.”

As scenes of fighting side by side a thousand years ago seemingly resurfaced in his mind, Xi Xuan’s expression suddenly contained a feeling of profound emotion.

Upon hearing these words, Ailiya froze in place.

After blinking her eyes, She asked with confusion and puzzlement, “Chief Celestial Augur Knight? That person… I remember his name wasn’t something like Tom Robertson, was it?”

“Tom Robertson?”

As this ‘name’ reached his ears, Xi Xuan was momentarily stunned before he couldn’t help but pat his chest and let out a hearty laugh.

“Hahaha, yes, yes, yes, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. Brother Yue did take such a ridiculous name back then. In those days, he claimed it was to integrate into the cultural circle of the Shenluo Empire, so he deliberately chose a name he believed fit the local culture. As a result, official records later all became that ‘Tom Robertson’ thing, and only a few people who were very close to him knew his real name. Looking back now, it’s truly comical.”

Shaking his head, Xi Xuan couldn’t help but reveal a trace of mockery in his expression.

“So, the First Chief, was he called ‘Bai Lian’?”

Ailiya bit her lip, speaking again to confirm.

Such an important thing as a name, And they didn’t even correct it? The young girl complained inwardly.

Naturally, Ailiya’s question received Xi Xuan’s affirmative nod.

“Yes, Alabaster Sovereign – Bai Lianyue. His combat techniques were unmatched even in that abnormal era. In today’s society, how many people who focus on physical cultivation want to learn my brother’s combat techniques? Unfortunately, they’ve been lost long ago. I never expected that the Shenluo Empire before the corruption outbreak would have preserved those techniques. It’s truly surprising. But that’s good; otherwise, Brother Ming’s skills wouldn’t have been preserved either.”

After sighing slightly, Xi Xuan again revealed a solemn gaze and extended his index finger toward Ailiya with a serious face.

“Little Ailiya. These things I just told you, don’t tell anyone, okay? Especially that you’ve learned quite a few of the Alabaster Sovereign’s combat techniques. In this world, there are many who covet these techniques. You sisters are eye-catching enough already; don’t add more trouble for yourselves.”

Hearing the well-intentioned advice and warning in Xi Xuan’s words, Ailiya nodded obediently and docilely.

At the same time, The young girl’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. Her little head, for once, became somewhat confused.

Enmm, Alabaster Sovereign? Bai Lianyue? The same combat techniques? This shouldn’t be a coincidence, right?

That means, Before Lianyue became the Terran Malevolence? She was that First Celestial Augur Knight.

Was she… a boy?

After a moment of silent contemplation, Ailiya looked up, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Xi Xuan.

“Um, Grandpa Xi Xuan, could you tell me more about the things from a thousand years ago? About that Alabaster Sovereign?”

“Oh? You’re interested in Brother Yue’s story?”

“Yes, yes!”

Ailiya nodded repeatedly. Some strange excited emotions gradually spilled from Ailiya’s eyes, progressively covering the original shocked emotions. At this moment, unprecedented curiosity occupied the young girl’s heart.

However, Before Ailiya could ask some of the questions she was curious about, with the temporary removal of the barrier, exclamations from several guards drifted into Ailiya’s ears.

—”Madam! Why are you here?”—

Hmm?

Hearing this, Ailiya turned to look behind her.

At this moment, An extremely beautiful blue-haired young girl had already pushed open the door and arrived at this noisy training ground. The guards near the gate, after a surprised exclamation, quickly regained their dignified demeanor and swiftly made way for the blue-haired young girl.

Subsequently, The blue-haired young girl, that is, our Miss Bai Lianyue, hurriedly passed through the crowd, ran to the center of the training ground, and came to Ailiya’s side.

“Mom, why are you here?”

Ailiya asked with confusion.

“I, I just, just got lost nearby, was finding my way. Then, I sensed the aura of you using the Augury Force, so I came to check. Are, are you okay? Are you injured?”

Looking at the girl in front of her who was panting and seemed quite exhausted, Bai Lianyue asked with great concern. While asking, she anxiously examined the girl’s body.

Of course, while caring for her daughter, the little Malevolence also didn’t forget to glare fiercely at Xi Xuan.

Obviously, In Bai Lianyue’s eyes, the recent sparring was just Xi Xuan using his superior cultivation to bully her daughter. For a moment, Bai Lian, with her pouting lips, had the impulse to rush over and educate Xi Xuan.

Fortunately, Ailiya timely extended her hand and held onto Bai Lianyue’s small hand.

“It’s okay, Mom, Grandpa was just helping me practice sword techniques, I’m not hurt, I’m just a bit sweaty.”

“Oh, alright.”

Seeing Ailiya say this, Bai Lianyue woodenly nodded, and the ‘fierce light’ in her eyes faded away.

“That’s good then.”

“Little Ailiya.”

And while Ailiya and Bai Lianyue were talking, Xi Xuan spoke again to remind her.

“It’s getting late, didn’t Naro arrange an etiquette professor for you this afternoon? You should go take a bath and then go to class.”

“Oh, right.”

After being reminded, Ailiya quickly looked at her watch. In her cherry-colored eyes flashed a trace of anxiety.

After all, that new etiquette teacher was a bit… and Ailiya didn’t like being scolded.

“Then Mom…”

“It’s okay, I’d like to chat with your mother. Later, I’ll escort her back.”

“Um, okay.”

After glancing at her mother who had an innocent and pure face, Ailiya suddenly became serious again and directed a ‘warning’ gaze toward Xi Xuan.

“Grandpa, remember!! Absolutely do not let Mom drink alcohol!!”

“Alright, alright, I know.”

Xi Xuan smiled somewhat indulgently yet helplessly.

And the little Malevolence beside him frowned with some unhappiness.

Wuu wuu wuu… Why can’t I drink alcohol? Meanie qwq…….

Soon, with Ailiya’s quick departure, only Xi Xuan and Bai Lianyue remained in the central area of the training ground.

Looking at the robust man in front of her, who exuded a delicious aura… ah no… who exuded a powerful aura, Bai Lianyue frowned slightly and inquired somewhat puzzledly to her former drinking buddy,

“What’s up?”

Although while drinking, Bai Lianyue had often called Xi Xuan ‘kiddo’, the little Malevolence with a clear mind wouldn’t do something that outrageous.

Moreover, after recalling the ‘relationship’ set up between her and Xi Xuan, Bai Lianyue very thoughtfully added a sentence.

“Dad?”

However, as soon as these words were spoken…

“……”

The water Xi Xuan had just taken into his mouth was directly sprayed out.

He instinctively felt a chill down his spine and abruptly stepped back two paces.

Although he didn’t understand why, Xi Xuan always felt that being called like this… would somehow shorten his lifespan.

Therefore, after recovering, Xi Xuan waved his hand,

“Uh, you, you’d better just call me Xi Xuan. Calling me ‘Dad’ feels weird somehow…

“Oh.”

The little Malevolence responded quite woodenly.

“Then Xi Xuan, do you have something to discuss with me?”

Rеαd οո КatRеаԁіngСafе

“Things, indeed there are some.”

Looking at the young girl’s incredibly beautiful face, Xi Xuan took a deep breath before nodding slightly noncommittally.

After engaging with Ailiya, Xi Xuan confirmed two things.

First, Ailiya’s footwork, sword techniques, and method of channeling energy were identical to those of his departed elder brother.

The other thing was that his granddaughter hadn’t been honest with him.

As the Second Celestial Augur Knight of the First Generation, and also one of the knights closest to his big brother besides Moande, Xi Xuan knew very well how difficult his big brother’s martial techniques were. That level of masterful skill would be hard to grasp even for martial arts prodigies.

Although Ailiya was very powerful, objectively speaking, her martial arts talent wasn’t considered the most outstanding type.

It was impossible for Ailiya to have mastered the Bai Ling Determination’s combat method to this degree merely by relying on Shenluo’s black technology.

Someone must have taught her, and taught her hands-on.

And in the Veiled Domain, the only one who could teach Ailiya was the person standing before him.

Gazing at ‘Lianna’s’ face, Xi Xuan’s expression gradually became serious.

The scene of drinking with Lianna; The scene of that elven girl saving him; And the scene of Ailiya dancing with her sword in battle; All began to continuously appear in Xi Xuan’s mind.

Since, The person is already here. Might as well…

Xi Xuan, with strong suspicion in his eyes, smiled slightly. With a very relaxed face, he hooked up a sword from the ground with his foot and handed it to the blue-haired young girl.

“Hey, Lianna, do you want to try too?”

“Try?”

“Yes, spar with me.”

“Umm?”
