***

[From now on forward, I will call MC Xiao Che till the marriage and leaving the clan fiasco happens. I will call him Yun Che when he leaves the clan. But for now, MC will be called Xiao Che.

Let me come clean. Suppose, Xiao Che is A and Yun Che is B. But the thing is that our MC is neither A nor B. He is a totally different person C just with the memories of A and B. Hope you understand.]

Xiao Lie was gaping like a fish at Xiao Che. All the while Xiao Lingxi was wide eyed. Xiao Lingxi was surprised that Xiao Che had Heavenly God's Spiritual Veins. Truth be told, She had no idea what Heaven God's Spiritual Veins actually was. She heard her father, Xiao Lie saying that her Little Che had 54 profound entrances opened. She had managed to interpret that to understand that her Little Che could cultivate.

She might be some kind of a newbie to cultivation but she had gotten enough lesson from Xiao Lie to know what a profound entrance was and what purpose did it serve in terms of cultivation. Then there's fact that she knew that she herself had 12 profound entrances opened. She was massively surprised when she learned that Xiao Che can cultivate. She was ecstatic at this revelation.

But some questions still lingered around in not only Xiao Lingxi but also Xiao Lie's mind. 'How did his damaged and crippled veins got fixed overnight? And how did he managed to open 54 profound entrances? It can't be natural, right?'

It was truly kind of unbelievable. So, Even if they loved and trusted Xiao Che, it still was a hard pill to swallow. I mean not everyday you see someone with crippled profound veins suddenly having a fully useable profound veins with exactly 54 profound entrances opened overnight. Do you?

The guy in question was telepathy talking with Orion. 'Orion, Start the plan now.' Xiao Che telepathically said solemnly.

The wingman god said. {Yes, Boss! Mission Trick The Xiaos Commencing!}

Just as this was said some mist of black fog started at appearing right at the front of the door of Xiao Lie's door. The fog was so dense that despite not making any kind of sound, it was easily detected by everyone present in the room. Xiao Lie had jumped to feet then took a battle stance. Xiao Lingxi immediately hid behind Xiao Lie feeling scared. With her cute little hands, She was ushering Xiao Che to come to her and stand behind Xiao Lie's back. All the while Xiao Che was standing apathetically in his place.

Suddenly, out of the black fog of mist came, an old looking man. His shiny bald reflecting lights brighter than the sun. His long ass white mustache coming down till his thighs. He was wearing some white robes which made him looks a sage or saint. His solemn smile giving him a dignified look. This was Orion, The God our MC met in the void. The Wingman of MC.

Xiao Lie solemnly kept his gaze fixed at the sudden intruder. He was trying guage the intruder's cultivation base but was failed. In his mind, the old man in front of him was already a opponent. He spoke in the coldest voice, he could muster. "Speak, Who are you?"

Even if Xiao Lie had put up a brave front, he couldn't just hide his fear completely. His fear wasn't for himself, It was that he feared that the old man that was currently in front of him could or will hurt Xiao Lingxi or Xiao Che. The old man, Orion just smiled demurely at Xiao Lie.

"Please Senior Lie, Be at ease. This old man doesn't have any sorts of intentions to hurt you and your family. And Che'er could vouch for me."

Hearing Orion, both Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi turns toward Xiao Che who standing there with a little nervous smile. He bowed toward Orion as he greeted him.

"Disciple Xiao Che greets Master Orion."

Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi were quite visibly surprised at this revelation. They looked at Xiao Che with wide eyes. There was an awkward silence in the room as the father-daughter duo alternated their gaze from Xiao Che to Orion. Both just didn't knew what exactly to say now. They were silent though out. Though Orion had greeted back with a nod.

Feeling enough of this suspense, Xiao Lie sighed. "Let me guess, Some how Che'er, you met this senior and he decided to take you as his disciple after taking pity upon on you. And he is also the one who has managed to not only fix your profound veins but also has successfully opened all of your profound entrance. Huh?" Both Orion and Xiao Che just nodded while praising Xiao Lie in their head for the fact that he is not a level 1 noob.

Orion straightened his back and put his hands behind his back as he said. "Senior Lie, While you are not completely right, Its not all truth also. The matter which happened was some where along the lines of what you said."

"Then may I ask you what was the complete truth, Benefactor?" Xiao Lie feeling extremely grateful to this Senior in front of him. He long since, got out of his battle stance. And he had unconsciously registered in his mind that he had became rusty. He felt a little discomfort when he took his stance, making him realize his rustiness.

"I didn't took pity upon Xiao Che. In fact, I took him under my tutelage after seeing his amazing capabilities. I gave him test that would determine either Xiao Che could be my fated disciple or not. And he astonished me by passing the test quiet easily. And then the first thing as his master, I fixed his damaged profound veins. And do call me, Orion please." Orion said as one of his hands gently stroked his mustache.

Xiao Lie raised his eyebrows involuntarily. "Then let me call you Senior Orion. Senior don't get me wrong.... I love my grandson but the matter that Senior said and Che'er passing Senior's test makes me wonder. My grandson had his veins damaged to the point where it's totally unusable. And Senior said that Senior healed his veins after he passed the test."

Orion chuckled softly as he used the dao of 'Bullshit'. "Senior Lie, Every test isn't supposed to be based on cultivation. This test of mine was a test of mental capabilities. It tested his mental powers. Cultivator or not, Every human has been granted a brain. But some cultivators only use their brawns instead of their brain."

Xiao Lie asked slowly. "So.... Senior chose his disciples based on Che'er's.... mental capabilities?" At Orion's nod, Xiao Lie bowed at him.

"Thank you, Senior! You have my fullest gratitude. For last 2 years, I have been blaming myself for the mistake of neglecting his veins when he was a kid. Thank you for freeing me from this burden of guilt. I am also sorry to you, Che'er." The trembles in Xiao Lie's voice silently told everyone how much emotions he was holding back.

Orion shook his head as he placed his hand on Xiao Lie's shoulder, making him straighten up. "I truly didn't do anything. And for the matter of Che'er blaming you, He never once blamed you or anyone. Look at him."

When Xiao Lie looked at Xiao Che, he saw Xiao Che smiling brightly at himself. Xiao Che softly said. "Grandfather, I never blamed it upon. I thank you dearly for taking care of me all this years."

Xiao Lie just hugged his grandson, getting caught up on his emotions. A crying Xiao Lingxi also their hug. Making it a three-way family wholesome hug.

Orion asked Che a question telepathically. {Bro, Weren't we supposed to trick them? How did it got so wholesome, all on a sudden?}

Che answered telepathically. 'I don't honestly know. But does it really matter though?'

Both Orion and Xiao Che shrugged mentally.
