1 Chapter 1: The slow boy

Xiao Clan

Early afternoon, Xiao Shui slowly got out of his bed as the sun is finally reaching its peak.

He slowly walks over to one of his windows in his room and starts to wash his face with a bowl filled with water.

After the simple refreshment, He slowly walks directly towards the Xiao Clan's Main Hall.

Xiao Shui had a slim figure, hair that extended to his shoulders, and a figure that looked weak.

once's in a while, he would get distracted by objects on the way to the Main hall

Many that would look at Xiao Shui for the first time would believe that he was a simple and curious child. However, that was not the case. If one looked closely, that would notice that he was a lot slower than the regular kids. His eyes, that should have been clear, seem vacant.

For the birth of Xiao Shui, it was considered a memorable day! But, that was not the case, the family slowly found out that his soul had not fully developed!

After seeking out many Doctors, and Spending big funds, the clan had very minimal results! to the point, they gave up and prayed and hoped!

Eventually, Xiao Shui finally arrived at the Main Hall.

Noticing his Presence, the two guards moved aside and opened the path for him.

' Young Lord, the misses and master are waiting inside"

Unfortunately, it seemed like Xiao Shui did not hear the voices of the Guards, and blanking stood in place in front of the hall.

Seeing the reaction of Xiao Shui, the guard could only shake their heads, as one of the guards went inside.

" Big Brother Shui1 Come let's go inside!" A girl around the age of 6 years came running down the hall and quickly stood in front of Shui

Xiao Lei, the daughter of Xiao Shui's second mother and his younger sister.

" Come on Big Brother! Let's go! it's a happy day today! a Happy day today!' Xiao Lei quickly grabbed a hold of Xiao Shui's hands and dragged him into the hall.

Xiao Clan Main Hall

four large wooden tables were put together, each holding about 7 people per table. At the Very front of the hall, another 3 large wooden tables were lined up together. A large variety of food was getting served around the hall, laughter and Joy were heard all across Hall.

The Xiao Clan was a clan created by 2 brothers, the Forefathers of the Clan. 150 years ago, the oldest brother stuck fortune and was able to be an attendant of an Inscription Grand Elder.

From that point on, the oldest brother learned and learned as much as possible. Everything he learned he brought back to the family. Slowly over time the family expanded and grew.

At the middle of these 3 tables, was an older age man, he looked to be around the age of 70. This was Xiao Lim! the son of the oldest forefather, and Xiao Shiu's Grandfather.

on the right side of Xiao Lim, sat a middle-aged man. He was Xiao Ta, the father of Xiao Shui! to his right sat a middle-aged woman, Xiao Shui's second mother Wen Xiao.

"Tap, Tap"

The sound of footsteps that came from afar approached. Soon after, Xiao Shui's and Lei's figures appear among the group.

Xiao lei quickly guides Shui to the seat of honor.

"grandfathers, Father and Mother, I've brought big brother over!" Xiao spoke up as she arrived in front of the seats of honors!

On the seat of Honor, Xiao Ta looked at his son.

It had been over 12 years since Xiao Shui's birth, in those years, while most of the clan had stopped looking for a cure for Xiao Shui, his father and mother did not. They looked and looked.

The Xiao family was an inscription family. They were the best Inscription family in all of the Trucisty region. Funds were not an issue, but even then there were only several items they could purchase or get their hands on.

This was something that would eat Xiao Ta inside. Even with the development of the Clan, it was still weak! only when they started searching and finding a way to treat Shui, did they find out just how weak they were!

Unable to help his son heal, Xiao Ta had gone crazy! he kept on inscribing, improving his skills to become the youngest inscription master in the truscisty region. yet it was still far from his destination.

At the age of 40, he was able to grade 5 inscription master! just one level below his father! who took over 60 years to reach this level! In a few years, Xiao Ta would reach the 6th level and then have the hopes of reaching the Legendary Grand Elder level!

" Xiao Shui, come here, come to your father. Little Lei bring your brother over"

Grabbing Shui's hand, Lei guided him to his father.

Xiao Ta, grabbed his son's hand and sat him down next to him.

" Little Shui, do you know what today is? Your mother is giving birth! soon you and little Lei will be older siblings. You need to get better and protect your family! got it Shui! I know that you can do it!

"tap, Tap, Tap"

" Master, the first misses is getting ready to give birth! we must hurry"

Looking at the Maid that had just arrived, Xiao Ta and the rest of the family got up and went towards the room.

Several minutes later.

" Whew, Whew, Whew"

The sound of a baby crying came out of the room. Followed by another baby's cry.

"whew,whew, whew"

" Haha! I Xiao Lim have been grateful! I have been given 4 wonderful grandchildren! four Grandchildren! Two Twins have been born into the family! HAHA"

Slowly everyone started to congrat the family, both the Xiao family and the Sun family, which is Shui's mother's side of the family.

Eventually, the party came to an end, and the only ones left were the Xiao and Sun family.

" Mother, Mother, I want to meet my new brother and sister! when can I meet them?'

" Slow down little Lei, soon you will meet your youngs sibling, be patient and wait with Little Shui!

" Mom! No, I don't want to wait. I am going" with that Xiao rushed towards the room"

" Wait child, ah" slowly 2nd mother, Xiao Wen, followed by helping Xiao Shui into the room as well.

" Whew. Whew, Whew"

Inside the room, it was the opposite of what anyone would have expected! There were sounds of cries all over the entire room. Two young babies were crying while another 6-years was crying next to them.

" waaaaaaahaaaaaaa, Moma why are they crying now! Did I scared them.Please don't cry... Waaaaaaaaaaaaa"

" ooh little Lei, I told you to not rush in"

" Second sister it's fine, Little Lei is young and excited! little come here and hold your younger brother" The woman on the bed said, as she gently handed the little boy in her arms to little Lei.

The woman on the bed was a beauty! she looked in her late 30s, but still had her youth.

To Xiao Shui, this was his mother, the woman that gave birth to him, Xiao Jia.

Looking at the woman that was his mother, and a glimpse of light could be seen in Xiao Shui's eyes.

Looking over at her son, Xiao Shui, her eyes filled with love. " Little Shui come here to mother, come here and hold your younger sister"

" Ta, can you please hand the little girl to Shui"

Xiao Ta carried the baby girl, over to Xiao Shui and Slowly helped him carry her.

Despite, being known for being slow and lost most of the time. Xiao Shui had paid full attention to his younger siblings.

When his father brought the little girl over to him, his body shudders, when the girl was in his arms, his arms went weak. thankfully his father was there to provide support.

The Family stood together, as they watched both Lei and Shui holding their younger siblings. Within the room, that was quiet, it had a special kind of joy.

just then a small voice broke the quiet and joyful event.

" She is beautiful!"

" Huuuu?"
