Wang Xiajie’s Mansion

When the Chief Warden and Holy Son, An Juejing, returned to the borders, they especially went to the mansion of the God of Void. It was already in the middle of the day when they arrived, and the family composed of Uncle Shun, Aunt Yan, and Shun Yaya were unexpectedly visiting Wang Xiajie. When the Holy Son of the Profound Sect arrived at the mansion, a scene the God of Void didn’t expect unfolded.

The family of three recognized Holy Son An Juejing. This is especially true for Shun Yaya, who immediately stood up from the chair and ran towards him for a hug.

Shun Yaya said, ”Jue-gege! You’re still alive!” With tears on her face strolling down her cheeks, she hugs the Holy Son, An Juejing.

”Yaya, you woke up! This is great! When Wuyun was said to be killed, they said you were cursed to not wake up anymore. It’s good to see you awake,” said the Holy Son, An Juejing.

Unlike the little girl, the Holy Son didn’t hug Shun Yaya and just patted her head in comfort before pushing her away. In ancient times, close contact between genders was strict. If not for the fact that Uncle Shun and Aunt Yan knew An Juejing personally, they wouldn’t allow such close contact.

Uncle Shun and Aunt Yan also approached the young holy son and were relieved to see him safe as well. They actually heard the news of him going missing to avenge their son, and like the people of the Profound Sect, they also wanted to find him, sending people to look for traces. The evil faction was sinister and didn’t even leave a single trace when they captured An Juejing.

That’s why they didn’t expect this young man to appear before them safely like this.

Uncle Shun said, ”Child, you shouldn’t have gone reckless like that! How can you leave your sect without permission!?”

”Uncle Shun, I was just so angry, so I left enraged. But who would have thought that even after I found those men who ambushed Wuyun and Yaya, they still told me that they weren’t the mastermind behind that event? I left myself captured to find more information about Shun Wuyun’s death?” said Holy Son, An Juejing.

Aunt Yan was angered by this and scolded him. ”How can you do such a dangerous thing!? You let yourself be captured. Don’t you know how cruel the evil cultivators are to those they have captured? You almost lost your life forever.”

The holy son of the Profound Sect looked a bit guilty when he saw the two elders looking at him worriedly. He had no other choice but to listen to their words until the end, while the God of Void and the Chief Warden pretended they couldn’t see his situation as well.

As for Shun Yaya, she couldn’t stop her parents, as she also felt that what An Juejing had done was like seeking death. Only when he gets scolded badly will he be able to learn to treasure his life.

Shun Yaya steps back away from the group of elders scolding An Juejing and joins her cousin to sit on the patio of the mansion with coffee in his hands.

”Cousin, did you know about Brother An? Who was the one who came with him? Your subordinate?” asked Shun Yaya.

The God of Void responded as he still acted in the role of Wang Xiajie in this world. Though in his eyes this mortal female was nothing to keep his identity as Wang Xiajie, he needs to treat this family warmly.

”Lou Wuye is my subordinate. He is Yun Ming’s lover. As for how I met An Juejing, he was saved by Wuye and brought to me. He wanted to ask for permission to allow your brother to come with him to destroy all the hideouts of the Evil Cultivators,” answered the God of Void.

Shun Yaya was amazed and said, ”Wow~ he is Brother Yun’s lover? What kind of person is he?”

”He is the great general in the south region,” nonchalantly responded Wang Xiajie.

”What did you say!?”

At his answer, the Shun Family turned their heads to look at him, then looked at the rumored divine one, who is also the great general of the south region. They couldn’t help but take a few steps back away from Lou Wuye. The latter didn’t act like he had seen them take a step back.

After all, they had heard the rumors about the divine exterminating the group of cultivators that went wild in his territory.

Even the Holy Son, who was pulled back with them, remained calm after all he already knew about this. On the other hand, the God of Void noticed the difference between the Holy Son he first met before and the Holy Son at the present. He couldn’t help but narrow his eyes in understanding.

Uncle Shun said, ”Y-you... are you the Divine One in the South Region?”

The Chief Warden didn’t respond right away and glanced at his master, gauging the importance of this family to his lord. Only when he saw his master slightly nod did he answer.

”Yes. Thank you for looking after my lover, Yun Ming,” said the Great General of the south fortress.

The Shun family was stunned by how polite the Divine One was, and they almost didn’t know how to react with his greetings. Of course, the chief warden actually didn’t wait for their response and walked towards his lord. He wanted to report about his discoveries while on a journey with the Holy Son of the Profound Sect.

The chief warden was about to kneel but was stopped by his master’s glance. He froze for a moment and saw his master stand up.

”Aunt, please prepare a feast for our guests. I need to speak with him for a while,” said Wang Xiajie as he finally looked at the Holy Son, An Juejing.

”Feel free to feel at home,” said Wang Xijie before walking to the second-floor study room with the great general following behind him.

The Shun family was dumbfounded for a moment and realized that their nephew suddenly became that divine one’s lord, as he said to Shun Yaya.

Uncle Shun said, ”Did Xiao Xia just say that the Divine One in the south is his subordinate?”

”How is that possible? Even though he is from the royal family in the capital, is it possible to have a powerful divinity under his command? What is happening?” said Aunt Yan.

Shun Yaya said, ”Did they also say that an official in the capital happens to be a divine being as well? Brother Yun comes from the capital. If he happens to be an official in the capital, does that mean Cousin has to have divine beings under his command?”

”Why don’t you think he is a divine one who is most likely the leader of the three divinities that descend on the world that day? It was actually weird enough that someone of his standing is willing to stay in this outdated place and play the role as a mortal,” said Holy Son An Juejing as he served himself some coffee.

Unfortunately, the black coffee is too bitter for his taste. He can only reach out for the milk and sugar and put a lot in his cup before finally being able to bear to drink the coffee. Meanwhile, his words left the whole Shun family speechless.

It was only when he pointed out this fact that they realized that everything about Wang Xiajie had changed after he had survived his last fatal accident when he was hurt by a blind bear.

A frown appeared on Uncle Shun’s face, and he asked, ”Then is the current Xiao Xia, not the real one?”

At this question, Aunt Yan and Shun Yaya remained silent as they knew that their real nephew and cousin had most likely died on the day he was hurt badly by the blind bear, and the current Wang Xiajie is a divine being who had descended and continued his life for him. Now they didn’t know how to react towards Wang Xiajie living in the mansion.

With this fact, they didn’t know if they could still treat him the same way.

The Holy Son of the Profound Sect observed the Shun Family. The current An Juejing I wasn’t the innocent one who didn’t know anything but the other soul that resides in this vessel. He loves poking at the relationship between mortals and playing with his feelings.

It was just that at this moment, he felt that poking at this family isn’t as interesting as making that cold-faced man show an expression different from his expressionless one.

An Juejing said, ”I don’t think Aunt, Uncle, and Yaya have to worry about anything. Haven’t you lived with him for months already? Is the change in him something unacceptable? Or did he treat you lower than himself? Or has he harmed anyone in this village after he woke up?”

The words of An Juejing keep ringing in the heads of the Shun family members. The answers were laid out as they thought of the questions asked by the Holy Son to them.

Is the change in Wang Xiajie unacceptable?

- No. It was actually good that he is no longer acting as a fool. With how he treated them and treated everyone in the village, it was actually no different than the former Wang Xiajie. It’s just that he is more mature than the foolish version of himself.

Did Wang Xiajie treat them lower than himself?

- No. He treated them more amiable and kinder than before, especially when learning the blood connection between him and Aunt Yan. It was actually them who had made the young man disappointed due to them putting Shun Yaya above himself.

Has Wang Xiajie harmed anyone in the village?

- Never. Instead of saying he harms anyone in the village, he even protects them. Provide them with food and a job and make their poor life better and more stable than before. Moreover, he cured their Yaya without hesitation. He openly accepted them even if he had been disappointed by them before.

Just thinking of these facts made the Shun family culpable, as they thought that the cute Wang Xiajie wasn’t the same as the former foolish him. But this Wang Xiajie had treated them better than the former and thought about how they were afraid of his possible existence as a Divine One, which made them feel guiltier than before.

Uncle Shun answered the Holy Son’s queries. ”No. Xiao Xia has always been good to us.”

”He also helped save Yaya’s life. We owe him instead,” Aunt Yan said.

Shun Yaya said, ”I was wrong. He is definitely a good cousin and a brother.”
