Brothers and Sisters

Yun Ye swung on the swing for a while when a voice suddenly rang out.

"Brother Changdong."

A little girl threw herself into Yun Ye's arms. Before the voice sounded, Yun Ye had failed to notice anyone approaching. He was startled for a moment, but after catching the familiar scent, he did nothing extra and simply embraced the little girl.

The little girl was only a year old, with delicate, doll-like features and long black hair. Although she was practiced at throwing herself into someone's arms, the sight of her was strangely tranquil. She was Yun Ye's biological younger sister in this life, Shui Wuge.

"Elder Brother, why didn't you call me when you came out for a walk?"

"It's too early, Wuge. Could it be that you didn't sleep well either?"

"I don't like sleeping. You know that, Elder Brother. At night, I fall into another world. Although Mother says it's a trial, I don't like it."

Yun Ye chatted with Shui Wuge for a while, then suddenly spotted two black sedans stopped in front of the estate's gate in the distance. Quite a few people emerged from them.

"Guests?"

Shui Wuge suddenly spoke.

"Whoosh!"

A black-haired girl appeared amid a burst of air. She was dressed in an extremely avant-garde outfit: black stockings and a short skirt, with steel needles tied around her legs. Compared to their killing power, they were more alluring.

She bowed slightly to Shui Wuge and said, "Two members of the Spirit Blood Seven Clans have come to visit Madam. In a little while, Young Master and Miss will meet some new friends. Please come with me."

Shui Wuge became interested. She finally stopped sitting on Yun Ye and jumped down, smoothing her skirt as she said, "Elder Brother, something interesting is happening. Let's go."

Although she was very young, she somehow gave off an air of seriousness.

Yun Ye nodded. It was strange that a one-year-old child could already have such an attitude.

After all, she was an existence who had inherited saintly blood. Even without spiritual energy to nourish her, she had begun displaying the makings of greatness at an early age.

Introduction: Daughter of the Clan Head of the Water Clan and one of the Clan Head Candidates. She was born with a faint talent, but this was also a source of trouble and she needed time to grow.

◇

Shui Wuge's talent was a small step below Yun Ye's, but both possessed manifest talents that had revealed themselves at birth. On the surface, she seemed even weaker than Yun Ye.

If she displayed the power of her bloodline, she still possessed some combat strength. At the very least, she could slaughter ordinary mortals at will. To ordinary people, she was already a born deity.

Seven people emerged from the two cars.

They belonged to two clans.

The first group was led by a muscular, imposing woman. She wore red sleeves around both wrists, with a greatsword ornament hanging from her neck. Beside her followed two children, one older and one younger. The two children possessed the same aura as her—strong, fierce, and unruly.

The second group was led by a man with wavy blue hair. She wore a pale-blue dress and a sunhat, with a greatsword ornament hanging from her neck as well. She belonged to the same organization as the muscular woman and had brought only one exceptionally handsome boy. The boy's eyes were lively, but his expression was stiff.

A young male servant came to receive the two groups.

After sweeping his gaze over them, the servant called out everyone's names.

"You Weiling, along with her eldest daughter, Gong Jiqian, and her second son, You Xiongsan."

"Li Jianbing, along with her eldest son, You Guanglin."

"Please follow me, all seven of you. Madam is still dining. Please wait a moment."

The servant turned around.

The seven people all nodded and followed.

As they passed through the garden, the two core members of the Spirit Clans exchanged a few casual words. There was no real content to them, merely routine pleasantries.

The eight children, meanwhile, glanced at one another, all of them wary.

The Gong and Ji clans...

At present, they were members of the Spirit Blood Clans.

In reality, they were all household servants of the Saint Clans, so members who inherited spirit blood had to report to the Saint Clans.

There was both tempering and selection involved.

If one caught someone's eye, they would be assigned directly to a member of a Saint Clan and ultimately follow that person into the Inner City Saint Division.

This was a crucial trial. The benefits of entering the Inner City Saint Division directly were simply too great. They would not have to struggle in the city like everyone else and could obtain vast resources. It was tremendously beneficial to both their lineage and themselves!

The group entered the estate and met the public ruler of East King City.

Not long afterward, the children were led aside by the male servant.

The Shui Clan had a huge population and possessed an enormous complex of buildings. Every household had also built luxurious estates and gardens.

There were countless estates similar to Shui Mingqin's. In the end, they all came together, covering an area comparable to an entire city. Even driving across it took a long time.

Under such circumstances, it was only natural for a lake to appear within the clan grounds.

Beside a crystal-clear lake, Yun Ye took off his shoes and walked a few steps through the water, feeling the lake's coolness.

Shui Wuge was even more outrageous. She was already lying in the lake. Because of her bloodline, she could not sink no matter what; she could even run freely across the surface. It was extremely convenient for playing around.

After waiting like this for a while, the people they were waiting to meet arrived.

"Good morning, Young Master Shui Changdong and Miss Shui Wuge. I'm You Guanglin, and I'm seven years old. I look forward to your guidance from now on." You Guanglin was poised and generous, with a stiff personality. He was not intimidated by their identities.

"I'm Li Xiaoxian, eight years old. This is my younger brother, You Xiongsan, who is seven." Li Xiaoxian spoke as well.

You Xiongsan hid behind his brother like a shadow.

Before the introductions could begin,

the short-skirted girl, Shui Wuge's guardian, suddenly appeared. She addressed the children:

"This lake is the battlefield. Leaving the lake's boundaries counts as a loss. Young Master Shui Changdong and Miss Shui Wuge, you will fight here from now on."

"Fight? Why?" Yun Ye asked, looking at the short-skirted girl in confusion.

The black-haired girl froze slightly, then said, "As members of the Saint Clan, Young Master, you need some servants. These children are your potential targets. At the same time, only by improving your abilities can you obtain the clan's support and enter the Inner City Saint Division sooner. Ability requires practice, so naturally, you must fight."

"Generally speaking, members of the Saint Clans choose their servants between the ages of seven and ten, then undergo the clan's trials. Once they pass, they can enter the Inner City Saint Division. Young Master and Miss have begun choosing their servants so early, so there should be a good chance that you can enter the Inner City Saint Division ahead of schedule."

As the governing institution of East King City, everyone wanted to enter the Inner City Saint Division.

Even members of the Saint Clans hoped that the earlier they entered, the better.

Yun Ye and Shui Wuge were clearly too young. They had not yet reached the age when they would know about the Inner City Saint Division, so it was only normal for them to ask such a question.

"So they'll come here often from now on?"

Yun Ye asked.

"Not only them. There will be others as well, though they may not necessarily become Young Master's and Miss's servants. Young Master and Miss's other brothers and sisters are also competitors. No matter what, you must defeat them—only a victor can become the next Clan Head."

The short-skirted girl said,

Er, I accidentally changed the setting and forgot to revise the later parts. The You Clan has two boys.
