Chapter 2: Can’t Help It

At this moment, he was dressed in a big red wedding robe, and his room was covered with the word “Double Happiness” and red cloth. This was decorated last night by his grandfather Xiao Lie and his little aunt Xiao Lingshi. This was his usual room and also his new room for the wedding.

The door was pushed open at this moment, and a light figure hurriedly walked in. Xiao Che immediately stood up and called out with a smile, “Little Auntie, is Grandpa back?”

Xiao Ling Shi was Xiao Lie’s middle-aged daughter, and although she was Xiao Che’s little aunt, she had only just turned 15 this year, and was even a year younger than Xiao Che. Although her age was small, she was already born delicate and moving, her Xuan power had already stepped into the sixth level of the Primary Xuan Stage, although she couldn’t be compared to Xia Qingyue, but she was already quite good, and she was highly valued in the Xiao Sect.

“Hehe, Che’er, you’ve woken up.”

A gentle voice came from Xiao Lie as he walked in slowly, looking at Xiao Che who had already gotten out of bed and whose face was also quite good. He was followed by two people, one was Xiao Hong, the housekeeper who took care of his rising and living, and the other was Situ Yun, the number one physician in Liuyun City that everyone knew.

“It’s good that you’re awake, and your face doesn’t seem to be in any serious trouble, but let Master Situ give you a checkup, today is the day of your wedding, and you can’t afford to make a half-assed mistake. Master Situ, thank you.” Xiao Lie said as he stepped aside.

Placing the medicine box that he had been carrying in his hands on the table, Situ Yun sat across from Xiao Che, and his finger pointed on his pulse, and in a few moments, his hand moved away from Xiao Che’s body.

“Master Situ, how is Xiao Che’s physical condition? Is it very serious?” Xiao Ling Shi hurriedly asked in a voice, his nervousness and worry overflowing.

Xiao Lie’s gaze looked at Situ Yun, although he did not speak, there was the same hint of gravity between his expressions……. How could he not detect that Xiao Che’s sudden coma from before was by no means normal.

Situ Yun but slowly got up, lightly smiled: ”Elder Xiao do not need to worry, your grandson’s physical condition is excellent, not to mention the big illness, small illness are not. Before the coma, perhaps the mood is too excited and the blood rush, after all, your grandson today is going to marry the Xia family’s former daughter, our Liuyun City’s number one beauty ah, heh heh heh.”

Although Situ Yun tried his best to hide it, his words still revealed some hints of regret. It was really unacceptable for the proud daughter of heaven to marry a good-for-nothing and even less promising scum.

“That’s good.” Xiao Lie breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, “It’s really hard for Master Situ to be dragged over by me early in the morning, Old Hong, send Master Situ to the parlor to rest.”

“No need.” Situ Yun waved his hand and lifted the medicine box, “Since your grandson is fine, I won’t stay, congratulations Elder Xiao will soon . Will welcome the most outstanding granddaughter-in-law of this Liuyun City, I don’t know how many people should be envious, hehe, farewell.”

“Remember to be sure to come and drink a cup of wedding wine. Old Hong, see Master Situ off.”

“Che’er, is your body really alright? Is there any place that feels uncomfortable.” As soon as Situ Yun left, Xiao Lie frowned and asked, still uneasy. Previously, Xiao Che had suddenly fainted, his body temperature had plummeted, and his vitality had collapsed, these could never have been caused by over-excitement. However, looking at Xiao Che’s current appearance was indeed unharmed, causing doubts to arise in his heart.

“Grandpa don’t worry, I’m really fine.” Xiao Che said with a relaxed expression. Looking at Xiao Lie’s worried expression and his head full of white hair, the tip of his nose could not help but sour for a moment.

There were a total of five elders in the Xiao Sect, and although Xiao Lie was the fifth elder, he was the strongest person in the Xiao Sect in terms of Xuan Force, and as early as five years ago, he had already entered the tenth level of the Spirit Xuan Realm, and now he had even reached the peak of the tenth level of the Spirit Xuan Realm, and with just one opportunity, he might break through the Spirit Xuan Realm, and reach the Earth Xuan Realm that countless Xuan practitioners could only dream of.

Xiao Lie was only fifty-five years old this year and had the peak strength of the Spirit Xuan Realm, yet he already had a head full of gray hair. Every time he saw his head of white hair, Xiao Che’s heart would sour.

No one in the entire Liuyun City knew the reason for Xiao Lie’s white hair in middle age. His only son, Xiao Eagle, who was also Xiao Che’s father, could be called the first genius of Liuyun City back then, breaking through the Beginning Xuan Realm at the age of seventeen, arriving at the fifth level of the Entry Xuan Realm at the age of twenty, and directly breaking through the Entry Xuan Realm at the age of twenty-three to

At the age of twenty-three, he directly broke through the Xuan Realm and reached the True Xuan Realm, shaking the entire Liuyun City and becoming the pride of the Xiao Sect, and even more so, the pride of Xiao Lie. Almost everyone thought that Xiao Ying would be the most qualified person to inherit the position of Xiao Sect’s master when he reached middle age.

But unfortunately, perhaps heaven envies the talent, in Xiao Che was born after only one month, Xiao Ying suddenly encountered assassination, and just a few days before that time, Xiao Ying in order to save the Xia family’s daughter, Xuan Li great consumption, encountered assassination even half of the strength of the usual can not play out, and ultimately died. His wife was also saddened and martyred herself by breaking her heart vein. Under such a huge blow, Xiao Lie’s hair turned gray overnight, and nine months later, Xiao Lingshi was born, and his wife also died of depression one month after Xiao Lingshi’s birth under the torture of the long-lasting pain of losing her son.

After the loss of his son, his wife also left forever, so you can imagine how Xiao Lie came through those years. Inside that snowy hair, there is unspeakable pain, sorrow, and hatred.

Until today, Xiao Lie still did not find out who actually killed Xiao Ying.

Later, he then poured all of his hopes into Xiao Che’s body …… But the cruel fact of being born with a damaged Xuan vein once again became a bolt from the blue in his life.

However, in the face of this hopeless grandson, Xiao Lie never showed the slightest bit of disappointment or resentment. Instead, he cared for him, almost to the point of doting on him. Because in his opinion, being born with a damaged Xuan Vein was already an injustice done to him by fate, and the last thing he should be subjected to was condemnation, indifference, and ridicule; instead, he should make up for it with more care. Over the years, he had been trying to find all sorts of pills that could possibly repair his Xuan Vein, but having a damaged Xuan Vein was like having a broken Xuan Force lifeline, so how could it be so easy to repair.

Having such a grandfather, although Xiao Che had grown up under the gaze of others’ indifference and even mockery, he still felt that he was lucky.

Looking at Xiao Lie’s pale white hair, Xiao Che’s gaze gradually became solid …… Since heaven gave me a chance to be reborn, and also allowed me to have the memories of two lifetimes, even if it’s just for the sake of letting my grandfather have a few more moments of gratification, I still have to live a sensational life! So what if my Xuan Vein is broken! I’m the heir to the Sage of Healing, as long as I find the right medicinal herbs, in just three weeks’ time, I’ll be able to completely restore my Xuan Vein.

“It’s good that it’s okay.” Looking at his appearance, Xiao Lie was finally relieved, he glanced at the light outside and said, “The hour is almost dawning, Chue’er, prepare yourself well, I’ll go and arrange for a welcoming procession……. By the way, do you want to ride a horse to go, or… …sit in a sedan chair?”

If it was yesterday’s Xiao Che, he would have answered “in a sedan chair”. Although he was the grandson of an Elder, apart from this identity, he could be said to be useless, and the gap between him and Xia Qingyue could be described as a world of difference. On the way to welcome the bride, there is no doubt that he will be subjected to countless finger-pointing and suffer countless jealousy, mockery and regret, and if he shows his face in front of people, the taste can be imagined. However, Xiao Che nowadays is smiling faintly: “Of course it’s horseback riding! Grandpa, don’t worry, Xia Qingyue, no matter how noble she is, she has long been destined to be our Xiao family’s daughter-in-law, I will marry her back openly and squarely, and will never lose grandpa’s face.”

Xiao Lie’s expression was suddenly stagnant, as if he did not expect him to say such words, then, a gentle smile appeared on his face and he slightly nodded: “Good.”

A short word, permeated with a long-lost gladness. Xiao Lie raised his steps and walked out of the room, gently bringing the door with him.

As soon as Xiao Lie stepped away, Xiao Ling Shi stood in front of Xiao Che in an instant, her lips curved up, her eyes carrying a little bit of unhappiness, “It turns out that it was actually the excitement that directly fainted, and for nothing, it caused me to be worried and scared for so long. You and Xia Qingyue obviously haven’t seen a few times, it turns out that you have always been so fond of people …… also Oh, she is our Liuyun City’s first great beauty, humph!”

Xiao Che hurriedly waved his hands, “How could that be! Although Xia Qingyue is very pretty, Little Auntie is much prettier than her! If I fainted because of her, then with Little Auntie accompanying me every day, I don’t know how many times I’ve already fainted in my life.”

“Hee ……” Xiao Ling Shi’s face that was so hard to tense up suddenly collapsed and she smiled sweetly, “I knew you would say such words to make me happy. However, even if Xiao Che faints from excitement because he is going to marry her soon, it doesn’t matter, after all, Xia Qingyue is so beautiful, she is still recognized as the first genius of Liuyun City, and the Xia family is the number one wealthiest family in Liuyun City, so I don’t know how many people are dreaming of marrying her as their wife. However, in the end, she still married my family’s Xiao Che.”

Speaking here, Xiao Ling Shi’s face revealed a proud look, and then, her eyes gradually became wandering again, and her voice also softened, “It just feels so fast …… that Xiao Che will soon have a family …… ”

“Knock knock”, the knock on the door sounded, the door followed by Xiao Hong’s pale and calm voice: “Young master, the auspicious time will soon arrive, it’s time to go to the Xia family to welcome the bride.”

“Ah …… so soon?” Xiao Lingshi glanced at Xiao Che’s outfit and immediately became a little anxious: “Uncle Hong will wait a little while longer, it will be ready soon.”

After saying that, she had already arrived in front of Xiao Che, and a pair of soft razors began to quickly organize his wedding clothes: “This dress is so troublesome, after what happened just now, it’s all messed up again. First stand still and don’t move, it will be ready soon.”

A pair of snow-white and delicate hands began to smooth out his upturned collar in a hurry and re-fasten the loose sash …… Her movements were very raw, but they were incomparably serious and focused. Xiao Che silently looked at her, his eyes gradually confused ……

He is going to marry Xia Qingyue today to pass through the door, but whether Xia Qingyue is genuinely willing to marry him or not, he knows exactly in his heart. If it wasn’t for the agreement between his father Xiao Ying and Xia Qing Yue’s father Xia Hongyi back then, Xia Qing Yue wouldn’t even necessarily be lazy to look at him, not to mention marrying him. The only people in this world who are really good to him are his grandfather Xiao Lie, and his little aunt Xiao Lingshi.

When he was young, Xiao Lingshi stuck to Xiao Che all day long like a piece of kraft candy, wherever he went, Xiao Lingshi followed him, trying to get rid of him, and would cry if she couldn’t see him for a moment. At the age of ten when Xiao Che was confirmed to have a broken Xuan Vein, Xiao Ling Shi seemed to have grown up overnight, she knew what the consequences of a broken Xuan Vein would be, and she also knew the concept of her own “Little Auntie” identity, she began to cultivate Xuan Li, just to be able to protect her nephew Xiao Che, who could only be at the bottom of Tian Xuan Continent for the rest of his life.

After experiencing the Cang Yun Continent’s twenty-four years of “Nanko’s Dream”, Xiao Che felt incomparably truly how extravagant and precious Xiao Ling Shi’s goodness to him was.

Although Xia Qingyue would soon become his wife, she would only be visible and untouchable like the cold moon in the sky.

If he could marry a girl like his little aunt, how perfect it would be …… Such thoughts appeared uncontrollably in Xiao Che’s mind.

The complicated wedding clothes finally finished being organized, Xiao Ling Shi took a small breath of relief and stood on her tiptoes, reaching out to straighten up Xiao Che’s slightly messy hair in front of his forehead. As she stands on her tiptoes, her jade-like tender face and Xiao Che’s face are instantly close to each other, and her eyes, as well as her expression are clearly imprinted with a touch of tenderness and weakness that only a young girl would have, which makes one not be able to help but produce the desire to love and take care of her, and her two lips are slightly curved and pink.

Ghostly, Xiao Che’s head suddenly tilted down, lips gently pointing on Xiao Ling Shi’s pink lips ……
