Chapter 15

All the elders who were speaking against Itachi at this moment were silent. They knew when to speak and when to be quiet, and this moment was for them to be quiet.

"What do you mean it's a good idea?" Gong Yuxian asked Itachi.

"It's a good idea to send me to Heavenly Sword Villa, they are considered the most powerful sect in the empire, so I don't see a problem with becoming a disciple of such a powerful sect." He said.

His tone was calm and didn't seem to have any fault or resentment. And in fact, Itachi was not resentful that these elders were basically exiling him. When he was three years old, he read the history books of the sect, and found out that since its foundation, this sect only accepts women as disciples.

The fact that he is here today is only because his mother is the sect leader and the strongest person except for the former sect leader who has been in secluded cultivation for some time.

"Long'er... You know you don't have to go, as long as I'm here no one can kick you out." Gong Yuxian said calmly as he swept his cold gaze at all the female elders who stood against his son's stay.

These elders looked at Gong Yuxian and bowed their heads, they knew that no matter what happens today, they would be severely punished by the sect leader.

Gong Yuxian also knew that if Itachi said he would stay then no elder could expel him, because the former sect leader accepted him completely, saying that Itachi is a good seedling for the future of the sect.

"This is fine, I would like to know the world more, besides, I don't want to cause friction in the sect." Itachi said with a dull face.

He was already used to this kind of plot, after all, he came from a shinobi world where people were always plotting against each other, so being expelled or exiled from a sect was not bad for him. Moreover, the sect he will be being sent to is the most powerful sect in the empire.

Much of his agreement with this proposal from the elders is also due to the fact that he doesn't want to bring trouble to his mother. He feels that major friction may arise in the future, and that is not something he would like to see.

"If I remain here, then maybe a seed of discord will sprout in some female elder... Then something like what happened in the Uchiha clan..."

Those were Itachi's thoughts at the moment. He knew that right now the best thing he could do is to back off.

His past life experiences, have taught him many things, and one of those lessons is to not repeat the mistakes of the past, especially when he could end them before they even existed.

The seven fairies present in the meeting room wanted to say that Itachi should remain in the sect but seeing him agree to the proposal of the elders, they fell silent.

"What does he think he is doing?" Chu Yueli thought.

Chu Yuechan also looked coldly at Itachi, but within her cold gaze it was possible to see a trace of warmth in her eyes. She had taken care of Itachi since he was a baby, so seeing him go gave her a strange feeling in her chest.

"That's pretty harsh on a four-year-old." Chu Yuechan thought.

Seeing that the meeting room was silent, Itachi knew that he had to take the last step.

"I... Long Xiao, I am severing my ties with the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. As of today, I will no longer have ties with the sect, but I will still keep the goodness of the sect in my heart." He said as he bowed to his mother.

Gong Yuxian's eyes went cold and the temperature in the meeting room dropped by many degrees, all the people in the room shivered and many of them fell to their knees on the floor. Itachi was the only one who seemed not to have felt this cold.

Itachi knew that this was the right thing to do. He didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past. He didn't want a seed of discord to grow in the heart of some sect elder.

This world was many times larger than the shinobi world, and at the same time many times more dangerous. Having a plot like that of the Uchiha clan in this world would cause millions of deaths, and that was not something Itachi would like to see.

"I want everyone out of the room, only Long Xiao will remain."

Gong Yuxian's cold voice sounded making everyone shiver, she was exuding a pressure that made everyone in the room startle.

Emperor Realm Profound.

Below this level of cultivation, everyone was nothing but ants, and for Gong Yuxian she could easily kill all these sect elders. But she knew that doing so would weaken the sect that had cared for her all her life, and even if she wanted to help her son, she couldn't, this was because her son seemed to be willing to leave.

Soon the room emptied, and only Mother and Son were present.

The silence in the room made the atmosphere in the room feel a little strange.

"Why? You are still a child, you don't have to leave." Gong Yuxian's icy voice sounded breaking the silence in the room.

Itachi shook his head and looked into his mother's eyes as he said, "I just feel that I can have greater growth in my cultivation if I can go to other places."

Hearing what her son said and the expression on his face, Gong Yuxian blamed herself. She felt that she had not been a good mother.

Itachi also realized that his mother seemed to be blaming herself, and like a kind person he decided to concert this misunderstanding.

"You don't have to blame yourself, mother... I know how hard you work to take care of me, a proof of that is that you managed to raise me in a sect that only accepts women."

The scene of a four-year-old boy saying those words would easily move anyone who saw it. And his mother was no different, tears appeared in her eyes. This was the second time she had cried in her entire life.

"And even though I am no longer here, I, Long Xiao know the place I belong." He said as he hugged Gong Yuxian.

Gong Yuxian returned Itachi's hug and stayed that way for a few seconds. After the hug Itachi pulled away as he left a few parting words.

"The sect may have its dark side and inconsistencies, but I'm still Long Xiao from the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace and..."

"Even if I'm not here, I'll still keep you in my heart." Those were the real words that came from his heart. The connection he had with Gong Yuxian could not be undone.

Those were Itachi's last words before leaving the meeting room. The next time his mother met him she would be in for a big surprise to learn how high her son had grown.

//

It seems that in the end, Itachi can't hide his feelings.
