r the fact, it turned out to be far beyond their belief. They repeatedly increased their defensive efforts, only for them to fail every time. The books inside continued to be swapped out, and the same...Chapter 455 Foreign Clan Genealogy Part 2
"Cultivation is good. Our Moya功 (Mystical Cloud Technique) is one of the top ten mysterious techniques in the world. When cultivated to its peak, it will not be inferior to any other technique. It's just that our current strength is insufficient, so we've always been hiding and not showing off." The Third Elder looked up at the sky with a somewhat sentimental tone.
In his younger days, the Third Elder was brimming with spirit and confidence in his family's strength. He had once acted arrogantly outside for a period but eventually learned from it. As one gets older, one realizes that there are many more things to consider at times. While martial power is crucial, it isn't everything.
"Can I take a look at the martial arts classics of our Luo family" Immortal Wanderer asked, wanting to know if this Moya功 was similar to the Heaven Demon Technique.
"Of course you can. Originally, you wouldn't be allowed to see some things behind the scenes, but since you're my son, I still have a certain degree of authority that allows me to let you see everything. However, those ultimate techniques under the Family Head's custody are out of reach." The Third Elder spoke proudly.
"I'll just read the first part for now and work on reading the rest later." Immortal Wanderer said plainly, effectively stating he didn't need his connections or consider himself as his son.
"Foolish child, why not use your privileges if you can This is a form of talent. There's no fairness in this world; otherwise, there wouldn’t be distinctions between geniuses and dullards. In life, one always lives under unfair circumstances. What matters is using your efforts to achieve fair treatment or let opponents suffer unfairness." The Third Elder spoke philosophically, suggesting he must have undergone a profound lesson back then.
The Third Elder didn't perceive Immortal Wanderer's words as opposition but rather as insistence on the principle of fair competition.
"Alright, I'll make use of this privilege. However, please don’t call me your son anymore; my name is Immortal Wanderer." Immortal Wanderer said. He wasn't bothered by having privileges since he never sought equal treatment.
"Alright then, Immortal Wanderer. That's a good name, who gave it to you" The Third Elder accepted it, as calling someone by their name was normal anyway.
The name Immortal Wanderer pleased the Third Elder too; he thought it could be changed to Luo Xiao Yao in the future with the same meaning.
"I named myself." Immortal Wanderer replied casually. He couldn't say it was from the jade pendant, for if someone knew about this, his cover would be blown.
"Child, you've really suffered…" The Third Elder's emotional action stemmed from seeing Immortal Wanderer as an orphan and wanting to embrace him in tears, but Immortal Wanderer evaded it.
"I haven't suffered. Compared to many others, I'm already very lucky; at least, I have my hands and feet." Immortal Wanderer shook his head. As long as one had limbs, with effort, any conditions could be created.
"Yes, don’t blame your background. Strive for it, and you'll understand that a background is merely the beginning; it's nothing to worry about." The Third Elder spoke sagely again.
Immortal Wanderer was speechless. How many insights did this Third Elder have What experiences must he have had in his youth, likely quite legendary ones too.
In addition, despite the Third Elder’s seemingly mystical demeanor, his strength wasn't weak at all; Immortal Wanderer could sense that even within the Xuanwu Clan, this level of power was top-notch.
Immortal Wanderer wanted to say again: The Luo family is not simple!
"Come, here’s our family's main courtyard. Choose an empty one from these small courtyards; they are all vacant." The Third Elder led Immortal Wanderer into a large courtyard with several small courtyards attached.
This was the Luo Family's design: A family would usually be assigned to live within a large courtyard, and the small courtyards were for children who had grown up but hadn’t yet married. If one wanted their own independent yard, they could apply for it.
Immortal Wanderer didn't mind too much; he often slept in a building with some household servants before, sometimes even sharing rooms. Having his personal small courtyard now was quite an upgrade and not something to complain about.
If he had asked for another room now, it might still be shared living conditions at best, unless he had achieved certain results, then consider him as a co-living worker with the Third Elder's family, which would still count as his own independent house.
"This one is fine. Thank you, Third Elder. I wonder where the Luo Family’s library is" Immortal Wanderer politely thanked him, making the Third Elder feel some distance between them.
Alright then, let's take it slow; things will improve eventually!
"No rush to go to the library yet, you haven't been issued your identity jade yet. It should be ready tomorrow when you can borrow books from the library!" The Third Elder said, "Without the jade, even I can’t help you enter; it’s a rule in our Luo Family!"
The Luo Family's identity jade was unique; only its owner could use it and it required some blood for its creation. While Immortal Wanderer had his bloodline tested earlier, they were also collecting his blood simultaneously as the first step towards making his jade.
Luo family's mechanical arts seem to be very strong. Perhaps later on, Xiao Yao might find this interesting!
"Oh, I see, I'll go in and tidy up first. Where are we having our meals" Currently, what Xiao Yao has to do is adapt to the place.
"Of course, it's a group meal! In the living room!" The Third Master pointed at the building in the courtyard with its open door where one could see the spacious hall inside right away. Then he told Xiao Yao when they were having their meals.
"Alright, thank you, Third Master. By the way, how should I address you" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.
"..." The Third Master fell into silence for a moment as the other party actually didn't know his name. Indeed, he might have used different names before and besides, the other party wasn’t originally here to find him but was just coincidentally discovered by him.
"I surnamed Luo..."
"That I already knew."
"...Luo Yunyi," The Third Master, or rather, Luo Yunyi said.
“Huh From the Yun generation Are you and Luo Yuntian brothers” Xiao Yao was a bit surprised and asked without much thinking.
"You know about Yuntian as well… Sigh…" Luo Yunyi sighed. He didn’t question why Xiao Yao knew about Luo Yuntian since there were too many people who knew about the story of that fellow, but this sigh meant that what was being spread wasn’t a good thing.
Xiao Yao remained silent and waited for Luo Yunyi to continue as he had a feeling that Luo Yunyi would definitely continue speaking.
Indeed, Luo Yunyi continued: "Yuntian is my cousin. We have the same grandfather. He’s my fourth uncle’s son and has a great talent. Since childhood, he was sent off to Fuyun Sect where his martial arts skills were all cultivated there, except that his internal energy cultivation is also Muye Technique."
"Originally, he had limitless prospects and perhaps could become the head of this generation. But he was ensnared by love, ran away with Yun Qingyi, then became a son-in-law at Fuyun Sect. After returning, he fell into ruin, drinking alcohol and daydreaming all day as if to escape something. We tried to cheer him up but he always refused. For twenty years, this has been the case."
"Drinking alcohol and daydreaming Isn’t he with Yun Qingyi now Shouldn't that make him happy" Xiao Yao was puzzled. Even though Luo Yuntian had become a son-in-law, at least he was together with his beloved. Then why did he still fall into ruin
Did it mean that he couldn’t accept being a son-in-law
No way. He even dared to run away secretly, so how could he not be able to accept becoming a son-in-law Besides, after becoming one, he has been living in the Luo family all along, what’s wrong with that
Suddenly, Xiao Yao thought of another possibility: during their secret elopement they suddenly realized that being together wasn’t as perfect as originally planned. They regretted it and were sorry.
No way! After all, they had grown up together since childhood; how could this be a joke Moreover, if they regretted it, they wouldn't have stayed together in the first place!
"I don’t know why either. It seems that he has some kind of estrangement with Yun Qingyi although they are still husband and wife, even having a daughter; it looks very happy but in fact isn’t so. Of course, this is just my conjecture, or perhaps they really are very happy," Luo Yunyi said.
Were there any unknown matters between them Looks like he had many things to figure out.
"Third Master, then I’ll go in and sort things out first. See you for dinner!" Xiao Yao bowed politely as was his usual manner.
"Hold on a minute! You haven’t told me how old you are this year, where you were born, who your mother is" Luo Yunyi stopped Xiao Yao since he still had many questions left unanswered and needed to know which of his numerous affairs of the heart Xiao Yao was a result of.
"I’m twenty-one years old. In three months I’ll be twenty-two; as for where I was born, I don’t know, nor do I know who my mother is. I was found on a mountain path and there’s only me," Xiao Yao replied half-truthfully to Luo Yunyi's question.
"Poor child, your mother really isn't anything good! Although I'm not much either, but after knowing you, I definitely wouldn’t abandon you." Luo Yunyi was deeply touched again. He felt that he owed more and more to Xiao Yao.
“…” Xiao Yao didn’t want to talk about this matter. Even though he didn't want people saying bad things about his mother, the fact is that it seemed as if she had abandoned him. This was also a reality.
"Twenty-one years old, in three months you'll be twenty-two, so I probably met your mother around twenty-two years ago. At that time I should have been…" Luo Yunyi started talking about his journey and romantic affairs again; clearly, even if he knew the timeframe, he couldn’t confirm who it was as there were still quite a few women involved with him (to be continued).anyao approached the beast pens gate, he heard a voice; its owner was somewhat familiar. He looked up at the wall and saw that it was the Wei Family’s wall.On top of the Wei Family’s wall sat a woman...
