C2 The Secret of the Xiao Family

The secret of the Xiao Family.

Xiao Chunyang was slightly startled when he heard the voice. He turned around and saw a person standing behind him.

He was at least two meters tall and had a sturdy body. He gave people a feeling of Mount Tai crushing down on them! In addition, his hair was very thick. At first glance, he thought that it was a brown bear standing in front of him.

"I heard from the servants that you came here early in the morning and only returned to your room after the sky turned dark?"

The brown bear spoke!?

Xiao Chunyang was shocked, but after taking a closer look, he realized that it was not the brown bear, but a person. It was just that its appearance would cause one's vision to go blurry at first glance.

"Yes, father."

The man who had a huge body like a brown bear was the current patriarch of Xiao Family. He was also Xiao Chunyang's father in name, Xiao Zhenshan!

"To be honest, I have never held any hope for you. You are different from your elder brother. You have never been interested in cultivation ever since you were young. On the contrary, you are extremely proficient in romance. All along, I have always thought that you would never come here. Moreover, you came here for a few days in a row."

"What you've been doing for the past few days has confused me. Can you explain it to me? What exactly is it that made you, who always hated reading books, choose to come here? "

A dignified aura was emitted from Xiao Zhenshan's body. It wasn't because he wanted to, but because he had been in a high position for a long time. Every movement he made was naturally accompanied by this kind of aura, even when facing his own son.

Why? Xiao Chunyang was stunned. He couldn't say that he wasn't the real Second Young Master of Xiao Family, could he? If it was the previous Second Young Master of Xiao Family, he wouldn't have come here. Unless he wanted to burn down the book collection house, perhaps he wouldn't have come.

However, the current Second Young Master of Xiao Family had already been replaced. Although his physical body was still there, his soul was already another person.

Xiao Zhenshan did not rush him, but patiently waited for an answer.

"Father, I want to be like big brother, a powerful Summoner, and even surpass father in the future!"

Xiao Chunyang thought for a moment and said. This answer was not meant to cater to him, but it also contained his true thoughts.

Illusionary Soul Continent was a completely different world from Earth. Since he had transmigrated here, he naturally wouldn't be willing to remain silent. He would just treat it as a second generation ancestor waiting for his death.

On Earth, he was an orphan. Ever since he was young, he had been bullied by others, and even had a crush on a girl for a long time. He had always looked at her with disdain. Finally, he sat in a handsome Mercedes-Benz that had a successful career and left.

In the past, he had no relatives and no opportunity to give it to him. Now, since he had transmigrated, and had become a disciple of a family that was famous for Summoner in Illusionary Soul Continent, wasn't this a chance given to him by the heavens?

In the past, Second Young Master of Xiao Family was short-sighted and had no ambition. But he was different!

"Summoner? Only with strength can one have dignity. Only with strength can one have status and power. Only with strength can you have everything! In the past, Second Young Master of Xiao Family was a fool, but I wasn't! Putting aside such a good family background and conditions, he didn't work hard! Now that it's me, everything will be different! "

Xiao Chunyang had already made a similar decision when he found out about his transmigration.

It was not his personality to be unknown.

"Oh?"

Perhaps he did not expect Xiao Chunyang to reply in such a manner, a trace of surprise flashed across Xiao Zhenshan's face. But very quickly, he revealed a trace of a smile. Although this smile didn't seem very friendly with his appearance. However, this was the first time Xiao Chunyang had seen such a smile on his face in the past few days.

Even when he woke up and heard the news and rushed over, Xiao Zhenshan still kept a straight face, as if someone owed him a lot of money.

"Father, it was me who was insensible in the past. I have always worried and disappointed father. But now, I have thought it through."

Actually, Xiao Chunyang was still a little frightened when he said those words. After all, he was not the real Second Young Master of Xiao Family. His personality had changed too quickly. Would it make people doubt him?

Fortunately, during these few days, he had gained some understanding. He knew that there was no soul in Illusionary Soul Continent. As for the matter of soul replacement, the people in this world should not know about it.

However, it would still cause people to worry about whether or not it would arouse the suspicion of those who were familiar with Second Young Master of Xiao Family. For example, the person closest to him, Xiao Zhenshan!

"It seems that the incident last time has dealt a huge blow to you."

Eh? Just as Xiao Chunyang was feeling a little worried, he didn't expect that Xiao Zhenshan didn't have a strange expression on his face. Instead, he nodded in agreement, "That girl from the Artes family, although she was a little ruthless last time. I should thank her properly for that. "

When Xiao Chunyang heard the name of Artes, he was slightly stunned. Then, a memory slowly surfaced in his mind.

It was a beautiful girl with long golden hair, beautiful blue eyes, and angelic features. At the same time, it was also her who caused Second Young Master of Xiao Family to almost die.

Of course, the real Second Young Master of Xiao Family was indeed dead. Unfortunately, no one except Xiao Chunyang knew about this.

He didn't expect that Xiao Zhenshan would mistakenly think that Xiao Chunyang was bullied because of that incident. He knew that Xiao Chunyang was weak, so he turned around and tried his best to be a better person.

Xiao Chunyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Of course, he wouldn't expose the self-indulgence of a certain family head. He even felt lucky that it saved him a lot of time.

Xiao Zhenshan looked at Xiao Chunyang with more and more gentle eyes. At the same time, he could vaguely see a layer of watery light in his tiger eyes.

Xiao Chunyang sighed in his heart. In fact, he had some understanding about the current situation of Xiao Family. Although it looked glorious, it was actually gradually declining.

As the backbone of Xiao Family, perhaps only he himself knew how much pressure Xiao Zhenshan had to bear.

Adding the fact that Xiao Litian, who was hailed as the hope of the family three years ago, had gone missing, it had caused the Xiao Family to be incomparably depressed.

"Alright! Good! Good! It's not too late to start now. As long as you are willing to work hard, even if you are not comparable to your big brother back then, you will not be much different. You are my, Xiao Zhenshan's, son! You are the grandson of the Xiao Family!"

Xiao Zhenshan patted Xiao Chunyang's shoulder hard, and was slapped by his huge palm. Xiao Chunyang didn't nearly fall down. However, he still gritted his teeth and held on, because he could feel the joy in Xiao Zhenshan's heart.

He was once an orphan, without parents, and had always longed for familial love. Now, he seemed to have felt this from Xiao Zhenshan. At the same time, he was slowly beginning to accept this family. The person in front of him. Although there was still some distance before he could truly accept it, he knew that... That was only a matter of time.

"Follow me"

After Xiao Zhenshan finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the library. Although Xiao Chunyang was puzzled, he still followed after him.

Along the way, the servants of Xiao Family looked at the father and son in surprise. In their impression, it had been many years since they saw Xiao Zhenshan and the second young master together, right?

An hour later, Xiao Zhenshan led Xiao Chunyang to a relatively remote place in Xiao Family. This place was the core area of Xiao Family, and it was also where Xiao Zhenshan usually lived.

With doubts in his mind, Xiao Chunyang followed him into the place. Then, he saw Xiao Zhenshan walk to a wall, and then to a mural. He stretched out his hand and moved the whole painting to the right, then to the left. Finally, he moved another half of the painting to the right.

Crack.

With a light sound, the wall in front of him suddenly rose up from the ground, revealing a passage that only one person could pass through.

"This is..."

"Follow me in."

Xiao Zhenshan said and walked in first. Xiao Chunyang followed him in full of questions.

This was an extremely long spiral tunnel. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally reached the end.

A stone door was placed in front of them. On both sides of the stone door, there were two stone statues erected there. Xiao Zhenshan did not say a word. He first bowed respectfully towards the stone statue on the left, then did the same thing to the stone statue on the left.

Upon closer inspection, the stone statue on the left was a human male. He looked to be in his forties, and his face was dignified. On the left was a giant western dragon. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws, emitting a kind of suffocating aura.

"This is the old ancestor and the companion that accompanied him for the rest of his life."

After a simple explanation, Xiao Zhenshan suddenly bit his finger and pressed his bloody thumb into a circular hole in the middle of the stone door.

A cracking sound was heard and the stone door slowly rose.

"Only the blood of the Xiao Family's direct bloodline can open this place."

After saying that, Xiao Zhenshan walked in while Xiao Chunyang followed closely behind.

As soon as he entered, he immediately discovered that there was a completely different world. This was a rather spacious underground space, and its overall size was about the size of an indoor basketball court. Dozens of huge stone pillars supported the entire space.

In the middle of the ground, countless magical patterns formed a round Magical Array. On the left and right side, dozens of crystal clear white jade Sarcophagus were placed there. From high to low, they varied in size and quantity.

"Here, only the previous generations of family heads and the next generation of family heads are qualified to enter. Even your big brother has never been here before."

A trace of sadness flashed across Xiao Zhenshan's face. He had always held great expectations for his eldest son, but unfortunately...

Xiao Chunyang's expression was serious. He knew that he might come into contact with the biggest secret of Xiao Family. His heart was filled with anticipation, and his heartbeat was speeding up. His breathing was also a little hurried.

"Do you know how the Xiao Family rose up?"

Without waiting for Xiao Chunyang's reply, Xiao Zhenshan continued, "Back then, we were just the ancestors of ordinary people. How did we rise to prominence so quickly in just a few years? His name spread across the entire continent? He established the foundation of Xiao Family for more than three hundred years?!"
