As the Universe Turns - Chapter 892
Chapter 892 A Snowy Night
“You …”
The red-clothed woman’s brows furrowed even deeper when she saw his indifferent appearance. However, she remembered that he had saved her just now …
“Hmph.”
In the end, she only snorted softly and ignored her opponent. Instead, she turned around to see how well everyone was injured.
Although many people were injured, the Qin Clan also had a lot of miraculous pills. After consuming the pills, everyone would cross-legged cultivate to treat their injuries, and their injuries wouldn’t be much of a problem.
At this moment, the woman in red turned around and looked at Xiao Chen, “Uh … who exactly are you?”
At the beginning, when she saw Xiao Chen’s white hair and unprovoked appearance, she thought that he was from the Snow Domain. However, when she saw the Dragon Cry Palm and the Ten Thousand Swords Technique, she immediately realized that she had mistaken him for someone else. These two techniques should be from an Immortal Cultivation Profound Sect, not from the Snow Domain.
Xiao Chen did not answer her. He slowly walked over and said indifferently, “You are people from the Qin Clan in the Qinling Mountains.”
The woman in red looked at him, her eyebrows slightly knitted. She thought that with his ability just now, it would be easy to kill her and the others. There was no need to save her and the others. However, with his cold appearance, he did not look like an ordinary person.
“That’s right, who are you? Why are you here? Do you know where this place is? It’s not something that can be casually come from? That formation just now …” She frowned and said, “That’s right. Who are you?”
Before she could continue chattering, Xiao Chen had already approached. He put his hands behind his back and interrupted, “I only asked if you are from the Qin Family. You don’t have to say so much.”
“You …”
Seeing that he had interrupted him and hadn’t taken his words seriously, the woman in red frowned again. “I said yes, then what do you want to do?”
“Since you are from the Qin Clan, there is no need for me to look for you. Take me to see your Clan Master.” Xiao Chen looked at the crowd behind her and said indifferently.
The red-clothed woman frowned when she heard his cold, indifferent, and domineering tone. She thought that this person must be used to giving orders, but she refused to accept this. She frowned and said, “Who are you? The Qin Family, why did you go there just like that?”
Perhaps she was accustomed to being willful at home, but at this moment, the people behind her were already in suspense. Judging from the methods used by this person just now, his cultivation was probably on par with the Patriarch’s. If Young Miss continued to speak like this, she was afraid that a calamity would arise.
At this time, an older looking middle-aged man walked out and looked at Xiao Chen with a trembling expression, “Well, thank you very much for saving Childe just now … I haven’t consulted you yet. How should I address this Childe?”
However, Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and remained silent. The woman in red stamped her feet in anger when she saw his cold and indifferent appearance. “Hey! Don’t think that you can just save us just now …”
“Little sister, don’t be rude.”
At this moment, a clear male voice suddenly came from the distant snowstorm. Following which, a figure flew over. It was a handsome man dressed in Qingyi.
The man appeared gentle and refined. He walked forward and cupped his hands towards Xiao Chen. He smiled and said, “I am Qinyue, this is my little sister, Qin Yao. Thank you for saving me just now. I didn’t ask you … what do you call me brother?”
“My surname is Xiao …”
Xiao Chen still put his hands behind his back as he said indifferently.
“Xiao?”
The red-clothed woman, Qin Yao, knitted her eyebrows behind her and whispered, “Why is it someone surnamed Xiao … Could it be someone from the Xiao Clan …”
When Qin Yue heard that the other party’s surname was Xiao, she was slightly shocked. Could it be that …
But at this moment, he still had a smile on his face and said, “So it’s Childe Xiao. Little sister offended me so much just now. Childe Xiao, don’t take it to heart. I just heard that Childe Xiao has something to look for the Patriarch. It just so happens that the Patriarch has come after having an old friend. He has already hosted a banquet at the manor. Childe Xiao, please …”
Qin Yao stood behind him with an expression of ignorance. She thought to herself, “When did Grandpa become an old friend? What is Big Brother talking about? Why is it that he can’t understand everything? Shouldn’t it be those people from the Snow Domain who came this time? Are they coming to snatch away my sister?”
…
After about an incense stick of time, Xiao Chen followed Qin Yue and the others to the Fallen Snow Villa of the Qin Clan. However, when he saw that the Vermillion Brick Wall within the Villa was orderly and the red plum blossomed amidst the falling snow, compared to the cold wind and snow outside, the scenery inside was very elegant.
After walking for a while, Xiao Chen saw the disciples who were dancing swords in the falling snow, the old servants who were sweeping the snow and boiling tea, and the maids who were picking plum blossoms and smiling beautifully …
Today, when they saw Great Childe and Third Young Miss bringing back a strange white-haired man, many people in the manor were whispering about his origins.
The entire Fallen Snow Villa was very large. There were also many mountains, cliffs, and islands floating in the air. The pavilions and pavilions above were elegant, as if they were the jade buildings of the Immortal Dimension.
After walking for a while, she approached the main hall. Qin Yue turned around and said to Qin Yao, “Little sister, go to Lian’er’s place first. I’ll take Childe Xiao to see grandfather.”
“Oh …”
Qin Yao pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Chen. Then she turned around and walked to the other side of the corridor. Qin Yue smiled and said to Xiao Chen, “Childe Xiao, please.”
A moment later, Xiao Chen followed Qin Yue outside the main hall. The disciples seemed to have been sent away in advance, There was no one outside the hall, and there were only two people inside. One was a white-haired old man, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the portrait of the ancestor hanging at the head of the hall. The other was a gray-haired old woman, leaning on a walking stick and sitting on a chair. Looking at her expression, she seemed to be anxiously waiting for something.
“Grandfather, grandmother, Childe Xiao is here …”
When Qin Yue walked into the hall, the old woman stood up from her chair. At this moment, she looked at Xiao Chen and even the walking stick in her hand trembled slightly.
The white-haired old man also turned around and stared at Xiao Chen motionlessly. At this moment, it was as if he had returned to the blizzard night more than forty years ago …
“Qin Yue, you go out first …”
Seemingly excited, the old man’s voice trembled slightly. He was the Qin Family’s old patriarch, Qin Guan, while the old woman beside him was his wife.
“Yes …”
Qin Yue cupped her hands and immediately went outside.
“Like, too much like …”
Mrs. Qin stared blankly at Xiao Chen. At this moment, her palms couldn’t help but tremble. The scene of that year, the night of the snow storm, everything appeared in front of her.
“Are you really … the benefactor’s son?”
Qin Guan’s hands trembled slightly as he walked towards Xiao Chen step by step. Whether it was his appearance or his eyes, they were too similar, too similar to Xiao Zhufeng from back then …
“Child, you must have suffered a lot these years …”
Mrs. Qin also leaned on her walking stick and slowly walked over. Looking at Xiao Chen’s head of white hair, tears could not help but rise in her eyes. Back then, she had personally delivered this child on that snowstorm night …
“You … really know my parents?” Xiao Chen looked at the two old men in front of him. At this moment, he didn’t know what to say.
Qin Guan slowly walked towards him. His old eyes were also a little red. He looked at him and nodded, “Your father, he is a hero who stands tall, and your mother, she is the gentlest person in the world …”
“Sure enough … Father and mother, have they been here before …” Xiao Chen took a deep breath. Everything Tai Yinsi said that night was true …
As Qin looked at him, his murky eyes gradually became clear, “That night, it was a heavy snowstorm. It was your father, Hero Xiao. He carried your mother, Su Rou, to the Fallen Snow Manor. That night … just as Madam Xiao was about to give birth …”
At this moment, Qin Guan clearly recounted what had happened that night, as if scenes were still in front of him.
“Old man, quickly go out and take a look. There seems to be someone knocking on the door …”
“I sensed a few strong auras coming this way just now. You’re in the room. Don’t come out. I’ll go take a look.”
“Xiao … Young Hero Xiao, why is it you … Come in! What happened? I heard that you already have the qualifications to go to the Ancient Immortal Realm. Why is it so short …”
“Old Qin, let’s not talk about it. Ah Rou is going to give birth soon …”
“Alright, alright, I’ll go get Xiaoyu.”
“Young Hero Xiao … Are you injured?”
“No big deal …”
“How many people are there outside? Otherwise …”
“No, there’s no need. I’ll deal with those people outside …”
“However, you are seriously injured. If you don’t heal, I’m afraid …”
“It doesn’t matter. Ah Rou will leave it to Madam. I will go outside to block them …”
“Young Hero Xiao!”
…
After recounting the past, Qin Guan took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Chen, “That night, Madam Xiao was delivered by my wife. As for your father, Hero Xiao, he was standing alone outside to defend against those people … When he returned, I saw that his body was covered in blood.”
At this point, Qin Guan stopped. It was as clear as yesterday. After pausing for a while, he continued, “Hero Xiao was afraid that he would frighten Madam. He didn’t enter the room. But who would have thought that Madam would be so frightened that she would have difficulty giving birth. It happened that the room leaked out and it rained overnight. At this time, there were actually a few more powerful experts outside …”
“And then!”
Xiao Chen clenched his fingers tightly. Even though he was only listening to Qin Guan’s words, he could still imagine how nervous he was at that time … Father, in order to protect his mother, he still had an unborn self …
Qin Guan sighed, “At that time, Hero Xiao was seriously injured, but he still went out to meet the enemy. Even if he risked his life, he did not bring those people a step closer to the Fallen Snow Villa, but in the end, in the end …”
“What will happen in the end? Who are those people?”
Xiao Chen’s expression suddenly became somewhat excited. Madam Qin beside him trembled slightly. She hurriedly pressed down on him and gently stroked his arm. She whispered, “Child, don’t be anxious. That night, mother and son were safe. Listen to the old man slowly tell you …”
Thinking back to the past, even after more than 40 years, Qin Guan’s eyes were still filled with shock. He said, “Hero Xiao was seriously injured at that time. He is most likely no match for those people. However, just as those people were about to break through, it was at this moment!”
At this point, the shock in Qin Guan’s eyes became even more intense. Even his voice trembled, “At this moment, a ray of light suddenly descended from the sky. That ray of white light turned the cold night into day. It was as if it came from the sky. According to the records in ancient books, only ten thousand years ago, there was such a phenomenon in the entire ancient land of Xianyuan!”
At this point, Qin Guan tried his best to calm himself down. Under Xiao Chen’s gaze, he continued, “Then, I heard the cries of babies coming from the house. You were born at that time …”
