A Failure's hopeful Journey

Chapter 279: The King's Return.



Chapter 279: The King's Return.

You Xi Wang and You Zhichi dropped the other three people home. They all were capable of flying so it did not take much longer. The siblings, however, did not fly back home but walked. On the way, they talked a lot. 

The younger brother talked about his adventures and difficulties in the Lost sector. The elder sister spoke about the experience she had when dealing with the array hall responsibilities. Her explanation had more comic incidents thanks to the two little girls. When You Zhichi told him how the two girls even shaved the grandmaster. You Xi Wang almost face planted, what he did not expect was that the two girls even wanted him to be their master. 

The boy saw no problem in it. He decided to accept them as disciples when he gets home. Amidst the chatter, two humans and one wolf walked back to the family mansion. Maya has missed the secular world as well and she was curious about it. Well, she was half snow hound so you can call her an ambivert. Sometimes she wants to indulge and sometimes she doesn't.

The pedestrians saw a boy in his battle gear and a girl in a white gown, with a beautiful white wolf walking around them, they could not help but click pictures and post them on the metro frame. You Xi Wang looked handsome while the girl was impeccably beautiful and the beast just added a different charm to the picture. 

...

At the doors of the You Family mansion. Two girls were chattering endlessly. 

"Aunty Tong, you placed it wrong..."

"Sister Jilian, your hairpin is out of order..."

"Mom, when did you become such a clutz..." and many more. The two little figures wearing a white dress were Celestia and Lily. They had their hair done in a side bun. The rest of the family was asked to wear the dresses in a traditional code. The two girls mobilized the whole family, somehow, to complete the decorations completed. 

Suddenly both felt a warm embrace around their waists, and a very familiar voice rang in their ears, "What is going on here my little fairies?"

The girls froze. They turned their head to see the person who hugged them. Then they both started crying in unison. 

You Xi Wang was flustered, he did not expect them to cry so suddenly. He spoke in a warm voice, "Okay, okay, calm down now. I came back after such a long time is that how you will welcome me?" 

The two girls just snuggled in his arms and sobbed, when the family members inside saw him standing there. They all lined up and bowed to him as they shouted, "WELCOME HOME YOUNG MASTER, WELCOME HOME YOUNG MISS."

You Xi Wang and You Zhichi stood side by side at the entrance as the family greeted them loudly. The master and guardian of the family have finally come back home after six months, this was an occasion for them. The two were also very happy to come back home as well. You Xi Wang was about to take a step inside the mansion grounds when Lily spoke, "Xixi, we made a special arrangement for you."

You Xi Wang asked, "What is it, Lily?"

Celestia calmed down and said, "You first change our attire, take a bath if possible, you smell. Then you come inside. You will know then." her sweet voice made the boy smile heartily. He missed these two girls a lot. 

He replied, "Okay." he placed the two girls on the ground. Waved his hand and cast a level four illusion array. His actions surprised everyone, even You Zhichi was surprised, pleasantly. She did not expect her brother to learn insta-cast. 

Inside the array, You Xi Wang used his spirit energy to wash his hair with a foam shampoo, shave the stubble on his face. The boy then wore a white and black outfit like those used in ancient martial dojos. He let his hair loose. Then he waved his hand and dispelled the illusion array. He crouched down in front of the two girls. 

He asked, "Now, my little fairies, do I smell now?"

The two girls shook their heads and hugged him hard. He picked them up in his arms and asked, "Now what is so special."

Lily shouted, "YOU FAMILY, WELCOME YOUR MASTER." her sweet and loud voice echoed throughout the mansion. The people all stood at the two sides of the walkway from the entrance of the mansion to the gathering hall. They all held their weapons high and gave him a guard of honor.

You Xi Wang was surprised at this arrangement. He shook his head with a smile, his eyes were a little red. You Zhichi patted his shoulder with a smile and said, "Go, or do you want them to keep waiting."

The boy nodded and walked into the mansion. He greeted every single family member inside the family. Half an hour, it took him half an hour to reach the gathering hall. You Xi Wang placed the two girls on the ground before entering inside the hall. As soon as he took a step inside. His body radiated the aura of Peak Primal Soul. 

Ten elders stood in front of their chairs. They all smiled and bowed to him slightly. You Xi Wang walked up to the throne chair. He sat down and his sister sat down beside him on the Guardian chair. The elders all greeted in unison, "Welcome home, Young Master. Welcom home, Young Miss."

You Xi Wang spoke, "Take a seat." 

The boy cast a glance on the doors and waved his hands. He was now at the peak of Primal soul realm. He could move objects remotely, that were much heavier than the door. He said, "I summon you all to the Gathering Hall."

Soon, the people started to flock in. The whole family was invited inside the gathering hall. From  elders to the kids. Even Grandma Cotton came today. The reason was the words used when You Xi Wang called them. He used the term 'Summon'. His voice was not loud at all but it covered the whole mansion. 

The first elder stood up and gave his chair to Grandma Cotton. You Xi Wang nodded at this behavior, seems like the family values are still exitent. The boy said, "I call you all here today, to say that I am grateful. I am grateful to have you all as my family, I am grateful that in my absence you all held the family together."

He stood up and bowed to the family members. Everyone else also bowed back to him. You Xi Wang spoke, "What I am about to say may sound like I am running away from the responsibilities but I seek your forbearance and understanding. In a few months, our family will be visited by a Nirvana Rebirth Elder. This elder could be anyone, from anywhere on the planet. Their goal? Test the youth of the family, everyone below the age of twenty will be tested. Those who succeed will get a chance to meet the ancestors of the family and seek guidance from them."

Hearing his words, everybody gasped. They did not expect You Xi Wang to bring back such a news. The began to murmur with each other. You Xi Wang said, "Silence." 

The people quitened down. The boy continued, "I will not be taking up any other responsibility in the family. That will all be looked after by the elders." 

The elders all bowed and said, "We Accept."

You Ziyou gazed at his grandson and asked, "Young Master, will you be going into seclusion?"

You Xi Wang nodded as he replied, "I will be going into seclusion, and all the youth will follow me along to a secret place. I will train you all personally. If any of you have any fears then you better stay here. I will not go easy on anyone. I won't let you die but yeah some of you may hope for death once you start to train with me. You all have one week. One week to decide what you want. Do you want to stand among the heroes of the world? Or do you want to be among the masses?"

Then You Xi Wang continued, "Celestia, Lily, Come forth."

The two girls walked forward, and came to the center of the gathering hall. They were calmer then even the teenagers. The boy cast a glance at the two dolls and asked in a softer tone, "I heard that the two of you want to acknowledge me as your master?"

The two girls nodded. You Xi Wang gazed at them, he sensed some hesitation. He asked, "Why do you hesitate?"

Celestia replied, "If I became your disciple, I will not be able to call you Big Brother."

Lily nodded as she stood beside her, her mind also had the same doubt. You Xi Wang replied, "Then how about you two become my secret disciples? Like secret weapons. You can call me Big Brother and Xixi like you do always." 

The two girls looked at him with confusion. They turned to You Zhichi and asked, "Is this possible?"

You Zhichi smiled and nodded. She said, "Yes, it is possible. Do you two want to?"

The two girls did not say anything but kneeled down on the ground, and kowtowed to You Xi Wang as theirsweet voices rang out, "Disciple(s) greet Master."

You Xi Wang said, "Stand up, you do not need to serve me tea." his face was filled with smile. He walked up to them and said, "The meeting is dismissed. We hold a feast at night."

The family all bowed to him, as he left the hall, holding the two girls.
