That night, the Xiao Clan's higher-ups had a very uncomfortable time. Under interrogation, the male intruder's identity came to light-he actually came from the Jia Lie Clan!
As for the Jia Lie Clan, after waiting and waiting without seeing the clansman they had sent out return, they received word at dawn that someone who had drowned in a certain river was actually their own Jia Lie Lan. The Jia Lie Clan's higher-ups knew their scheme had been exposed.
Of course, those were naturally matters for the adults. At dawn, Xiao Tian was following Xiao Yan toward the mountain behind the clan.
On the mountain, Xiao Yan stopped and fixed Xiao Tian with an aggressive gaze.
Xiao Tian could not help feeling anticipation. Was his little brother Er Huo about to ask about the secret of his Sharingan?
"My foolish little brother! You finally can't hold back anymore!"
Xiao Yan took a deep breath, gazed at his elder brother Xiao Tian, and said, "Big Brother, how did you activate your Sharingan? I want a pair to play with too."
Xiao Tian: "..."
Xiao Tian spread his hands and said bluntly, "My foolish little brother, those aren't Sharingan. These are Heavenly Illusion Divine Eyes. Our Xiao Clan actually has an ancient bloodline flowing within us. As long as our anger reaches a certain level, we can awaken these divine eyes."
Just as I thought, Xiao Yan said inwardly.
"Then, Big Brother, how did you activate yours?"
Xiao Tian clasped his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky at a 130-degree angle, and sighed. "I secretly kept a cute undead creature named Xiao Qiang. But one day, it died!"
"When I saw it again, all that remained was its gilded-black, bloodstained corpse!"
"I was furious and swore to find the killer! And so, these divine eyes of mine awakened!"
With a look that said, "Do you think I'd believe that?" Xiao Yan asked, "Then who was the killer?"
"A dog. But it doesn't matter. The two of us already ate it."
Xiao Yan fell silent.
At that moment, Yao Lao was puzzled inside the soul ring. Does this Xiao Clan have some ancient bloodline? Could it be an Emperor Clan bloodline? I remember there was once an Emperor Clan surnamed Xiao, but I've never heard of the Xiao Clan having an ability like this.
"Big Brother, do you want to awaken the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan?"
Xiao Tian: "Huh?"
Xiao Yan's expression turned solemn as he said coldly, "Big Brother, if our Xiao Clan ever faces annihilation, please wipe out the Xiao Clan yourself. It'll upgrade your Sharingan, and then you'll have the strength to avenge us."
"Huh?"
Xiao Tian was dumbfounded. That's not how the script goes, is it?
"Big Brother, remember what I said. I keep having this premonition that a great calamity will befall the Xiao Clan!"
Xiao Tian was deeply disappointed. My little brother Er Huo, you idiot.
At nine that morning, Xiao Tian was summoned before several elders and his father, Xiao Zhan.
"Tian'er, I heard from Xiao Yu that you were still wandering around in the snow at ten last night?"
Under the adults' scrutinizing gazes, Xiao Tian nodded without so much as a flicker in his eyes. "I couldn't sleep, so I went outside to feel the cold breeze."
"Then you ran into Xiao Yu too, didn't you? Did you meet anyone before that?"
His eyes innocent, Xiao Tian said earnestly, "I did run into Big Sister Xiao Yu. I also saw someone dressed in black."
Xiao Yu instantly paled in shock. "Little Brother Xiao Tian, that isn't what you said last night!"
Xiao Tian grinned. "I couldn't help it. Master wouldn't let me tell."
"Then why are you telling us now?" Xiao Yu's dark brows drew together. She was clearly a little angry. Because of Xiao Tian, a group of clansmen had been busy searching right up until now.
Xiao Tian spread his hands helplessly. "I couldn't help it. Master wouldn't let me tell, but since Father and the elders asked, I could only tell them."
Xiao Zhan and the elders breathed a sigh of relief. Since Xiao Tian's master had killed the intruder, the hidden threat was gone.
After Xiao Tian left, he sensed Big Sister Xiao Yu, whose figure had already begun developing, following him with an icy expression, and his heart gave a jolt.
