"From now on, we're colleagues." Xu Si patted Xiao Tian on the shoulder, his smile a little smug.
"I need to go with my master to find out what's going on! Suddenly having a father and a grandfather out of nowhere, isn't that utter nonsense!" Xiao Tian scoffed and left.
"This kid is really interesting. If it were anyone else, with an elder like Director Xiao, they probably would have immediately acknowledged him."
"That's why it's different. We're not ordinary people, and this kid has a high status in Mount Longhu. Elders of that status might not even look at him," Xu Si said with a deep smile.
Inside the restroom, Xiao Tian took out his phone and contacted the Old Celestial Master by speaking to Zhang Lingyu at the Celestial Master's Manor on Mount Longhu.
" Xiao Tian, I know what you want to ask. Don't worry, they are indeed your relatives. I'm a bit busy, but Little Xiao will send someone to contact you in a few days. Also, it shouldn't be long before your relatives contact you directly."
"Alright, Master, your mouth really has a lucky charm. There's a phone call coming in. By the way, please tell Senior Brother Lingyu to eat more; look how thin he's gotten from hunger."
After hanging up with the Old Celestial Master, Xiao Tian answered a call from the capital.
"Hello, is this Xiao Tian? I'm Director Xiao's secretary."
The girl's voice on the phone was quite pleasant, very soothing to the ears, like receiving a gentle ear massage.
"Hey girl, just say what you need to say." Xiao Tian feigned an impatient tone.
" Xiao Tian, Director Xiao and Elder Xiao know that it will be difficult for you to accept suddenly learning about your origins, but it is an indisputable fact that you are their descendant. Elder Xiao will come to see you in person soon. On behalf of Director Xiao, I would like to extend my regards to you..."
Before the female secretary could finish speaking, Xiao Tian hung up on her.
"Damn it! Where would I get parents and grandparents?" Xiao Tian's lips twitched.
You have to understand, he came from outer space. Although the Old Celestial Master's act of arranging this identity for him was well-intentioned, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
As I came out of the restroom, Xu Si was leaning against the door.
"Still can't accept it?" Xu Si asked Xiao Tian with a mocking expression, a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
"Could you accept that? If some old man came looking for me, just tell him I'm dead." Xiao Tian curled his lip, put his hands in his pockets, and walked away.
"Hahaha... It's no use you not showing up. Anyway, the documents just arrived via fax from above. With the approval of several board members, you are now our deputy head and vice-head of the North China region. From now on, we're colleagues."
"Take it easy, it's such a festive day, let me take you out to have some fun, you'll feel better once you've let off some steam."
Xiao Tian was speechless.
Three days later, Xiao Tian finally met with Elder Xiao, who had flown in from the capital.
Xiao Tian originally thought that the Elder Xiao and the Old Celestial Master were putting on a show.
but!
Observing the expression on Elder Xiao's face when he met him, it was the same excitement, joy, and tears welling up in his eyes as when he saw his own grandson; the emotions were so genuine.
If that wasn't genuine, Xiao Tian could only conclude that the old man's acting was superb! Even more so than Xiao Tian himself! He was worthy of being called a god!
" Xiao Tian, I know you don't want to accept us, but I learned from the Old Celestial Master that you originally had the character 'Xiao' and some dragon patterns on your chest, which perfectly match our family's."
"Whether you accept us or not, please keep this, Xiao Tian. It is a family heirloom of the Xiao Clan, passed down only to sons, not daughters."
Xu Si looked at it and his face showed surprise. " Elder Xiao, could this be the legendary magic weapon?"
Old Xiao glanced at Xu Si and smiled, "That's right. Our ancestor was actually a weapon refiner, but his descendants lacked talent. This Coiling Dragon Seal, refined by our ancestor, can suppress fortune, destiny, and spirits. Of course, that's just what our ancestral teachings say. For many generations, including my generation and my son's, it has never been acknowledged."
"Since none of you have ever been recognized, why are you planning to give it to me? What if I'm not recognized either, and it just sits in my hands gathering dust?" Xiao Tian curled his lip, but the magic weapon called Coiling Dragon Seal in Old Xiao's hand was indeed something special, as it contained countless strands of faith Confusion sealed inside.
"Whether you are recognized or not, this item will ultimately be handed to you."
Xiao Tian couldn't refuse the old man's request and took the Coiling Dragon Seal in his hand.
"Ding! Hidden achievement quest triggered! The Coiling Dragon Seal has been automatically refined! Help the Xiao Clan find their missing descendant, ' Xiao Tian '."
"What a coincidence! What a coincidence!" Xiao Tian almost blurted out a vulgar word.
"My grandson! You really are a descendant of the Xiao Clan!" Old Xiao shouted loudly, extremely excited. The golden light that erupted from the Coiling Dragon Seal vaguely transformed into a coiling divine dragon, extraordinary and mysterious. A powerful pressure made Old Xiao and Xu Si in the room feel their souls tremble.
"Wow, congratulations, Xiao Tian!" Xu Si exclaimed, having witnessed the legendary magic weapon recognizing its master.
Xiao Tian was speechless. He couldn't return the Coiling Dragon Seal; he had already accepted all the benefits. So, all he could do now was help find the true descendant of the Xiao Clan, ' Xiao Tian, ' and he could only temporarily assume the identity.
Half a day later, Old Xiao left with immense joy; his wish had been fulfilled.
" Xiao Tian, what's the power of this thing? Show it to us." Xu Si stared at the Coiling Dragon Seal in Xiao Tian's hand.
"It's not very useful. Its greatest use is to stabilize a person's life force, extending the life of someone who should die within seconds by at least a month. If they receive treatment and are out of danger within that month, then they will live."
"This is outrageous?!" Xu Si was shocked.
"God-defying my foot! Using it once will probably take a lot of Qi, and according to the memories this thing gave me after refining it, once it's successfully used, it'll just sit at home collecting dust like a stone for half a month."
"That's incredibly powerful! Human lives are at stake; this kind of ability is truly domineering." Xu Si's eyes gleamed.
Xiao Tian could easily see through Xu Si's intentions. His lips twitched, and he threatened, "Don't cause trouble. My Qi is very valuable."
"Haha, besides this domineering ability, there should be more, right?"
"Of course! Hehehe! Brother Si, why don't you try some!"
Bang!
The wall was blasted through, and Xu Si flew out.
"Depend on!"
"It's not bad for hitting people, it just wastes a bit of your Qi, but the feeling of hitting people is great!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Tian didn't miss the chance to rack up Xu Si's Achievement Points, chasing after Xu Si and using the Coiling Dragon Seal as a brick to hit him. Xu San, who came to mediate, also got caught in the mess and was hit twice.
Late at night, Xu San Xu Si hosted a simple family celebration dinner for Xiao Tian.
" Baobao, what's up?"
"What? Zhang Chulan ran away? What happened?" Xu Si, who was a little drunk, suddenly sobered up.
Xiao Tian couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing the contents of the call; an interesting scene was about to unfold.
