34 Xing Clan's Secret & Li Qing'er

"Yes, Uncle, as you say" Xing Chen nodded slightly.

"Well, I should be going now." He said to them as he began to walk towards the door.

"Un!" Xing Mu un'ed as he saw him going out of the dining hall.

Xing Lei, on the other hand, kept silent and didn't say anything.

Sigh!

Looking at his back Xing Mu shook his head and could not bear to sigh.

"Brother, why are you sighing?" Xing Lei saw him sighing asked confusedly.

Xing Mu turned his head, looked at him, and calmly said: "Xiao Chen has always been obedient, it's a good thing that he obeys the decisions of his elders but if he wants to become an extraordinary person, just like his father, he must figure out first what he wants from his life and every decision in his life must be taken by himself, not to rely on us or others, as it'll only hinder his growth and development."

Upon hearing this Xing Mu also nodded his head and said in a dignified tone: "Yes, he should learn how to make his own decisions by now, we may be unable to be with him forever, brother don't worry I'll talk to him regarding this matter on the trip."

"Um, he's already sixteen, so it's the time for him to figure out his future road." Xing Mu said indifferently as a trace of fine light flashed past through his eyes.

"Understood" Xing Lei responded first, then asked suddenly in a hesitant tone: "Just brother is it really good to let Xiao Chen go through such a trial so soon after all his heart is soft, and it might accidentally become his heart demon..."

Xing Mu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry sooner or later he must see the ugly side of this cruel world, if he adopts it sooner it's good for him, moreover don't forget its patriarch's order, and we can not disobey it!"

"By the way brother, is patriarch fine? He said he'll return within these days so now why he wants to stay there for three months? Don't tell me those traitors discovered him?" Xing Lei asked worryingly.

"No, they didn't, at least for now, as for why patriarch wants to stay there for the next three months because he found some clues of other clan members and plan to save them."

"Unexpectedly is so!" Xing Lei surprised first then wrinkled his brows and said in anxiety: "Just hopes it shouldn't be the trick of those traitors to lure patriarch."

"No, it's less likely, because the clues left by the clan members are through bloodline secret signal symbols, moreover by patriarch strength, there are not many powerhouses who can stop him if it wasn't for protecting us you think by patriarch temperament he's willing to hide for so long." Saying this Xing Mu could not bear but to sigh.

"Anyway patriarch is strong enough to deal with them, it's just we are too weak to follow him to kill the quartet." While speaking Xing Mu couldn't help but clench his fists unwillingly.

"Brother, don't worry when all the clansmen will recover from their injury and if patriarch found the remaining clan members it's not too late to revenge and kill those traitors!" Xing Lei saw his elder brother with the unwilling look he hastily comforted him.

"Don't worry although I'm unwilling, but I did not lose my mind, just during this trail pay attention to Xiao Chen's growth and follow the order of patriarch throughout the time."

"Big Brother you can rest assured." Xing Lei reassured him.

"Um!"

--------------------

On the other side, after Xing Chen went out of the dining room/hall he saw Li Qing standing near the door, seeing her Xing Chen stunned for a moment and walked towards her.

"Sister Qing, why are you standing here?"

"Ah! It's Young Master! It's no...nothing I... I have been waiting for you!"

Li Qing Who was standing in a daze, suddenly listened to Xing Chen's voice almost panicked and replied stammeringly.

Under her reply, he was also startled and said: "Don't tell me that you have been standing here throughout the time?"

"Uh! Yes?" Li Qing said.

This time she replied in a much calmer voice than before.

"Sister Qing are you ok?" Xing Chen looked at her incredulously.

"Young Master I'm fine, it's basic etiquette for me to wait for you as I'm your maid, I'm new here and specially selected by Senior Mu and responsible for your care, if I didn't do well I'll lose my job, let alone Xing Clan helped me a lot and willing to take me in." Li Qing smiled gently and said in a soft voice.

Li Qing was an orphan, and her parents died under the beast claw when she was four years old, leaving her alone and forsaken, after the death of her parents she was adopted by an old woman in the village and raised by her until half a year ago her adopted grandma also died of old age, after her death, a nearby neighbor wanted her to marry their son forcefully, after all, she is very beautiful, but she was not willing to be resigned by her fate, so she asked help from the village chief, who not only recommend her to Xing Clan but also help her solve the trouble of forced marriage.

From that day she had been living in Xing Clan and help in the laundry, cleaning, and other works until half a month ago Xing Mu specially chose her as Xing Chen's personal maid, which made her ecstatic and shocked, after all, she knows that before Xing Chen never has a personal maid, and she's the first one, so after she becomes his maid she decided to do her best for the sake of Xing Clan and her young master.

"Sister Qing don't do this next time, although you're my personal maid but for me, you're like an older sister so don't do it again!" Xing Chen looked straight in her eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Un! As you wish Young master, Qing'er will do as you wish." Was started by Xing Chen, Li Qing flustered and her cheeks blushed, she lowered her head as she replied shyly.

"That's good!" Xing Chen hasn't felt her shy look, but her reply satisfied him.

"Ok, let's go back to my courtyard." As he said Xing Chen began to walk towards his courtyard, Li Qing also followed his steps hurriedly.
