Chapter 203: Space Wine (1)_1
"Muli, you." Old Master Xiao never expected to hear such words from his grandson’s mouth, "Why would you want power? You." He looked at his grandson, whose face was serious, and was at a loss for words for a moment, his mouth opening and closing, but no words came out.
"I want power, I want the ability to protect Xiao Xin. I hope to one day become the man who can stand by Xiao Xin’s side." Situ Xin’s excellence had always been noted by Xiao Muli. And in recent years, as Situ Xin grew increasingly beautiful and attractive, Xiao Muli’s worries intensified.
Although Xiao Muli’s status in Capital City meant that he could pretty much do as he pleased, deep down he was not satisfied with his current situation. He felt that he was utterly unqualified to stand by Situ Xin’s side, to protect her, to love her. Therefore, he needed to become stronger.
Xiao Muli had only seen a fraction of what Situ Xin was capable of. If he knew about the forces Situ Xin wielded in secret, who knows what his reaction would be.
Upon hearing Xiao Muli’s words, Old Master Xiao suddenly realized what was happening. Then he thought of Situ Xin’s talents and her elusive master, and he did not worry that Situ Xin would look down on Xiao Muli, but rather was concerned that Situ Xin’s master, upon finding Xiao Muli’s abilities lacking, might not approve.
Old Master Xiao lapsed into silence for a while and then made up his mind. "Alright, I will support you in this," he declared. If Xiao Muli had mentioned any other reason, Old Master Xiao might not have agreed. But Xiao Muli was motivated by love for the person in his heart, and Old Master Xiao was a hundred percent supportive of that. After all, hadn’t he himself been young and in love once? And Xiao Muli’s grandmother was someone Old Master Xiao had chased after with great effort.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Seeing that his grandfather had also agreed, Xiao Muli’s heart, which had been wavering, finally settled. And Xiao Muli was the kind of person who, once he made a decision, never looked back.
"Since you’ve decided to return to the Xiao family’s main clan, you should also learn about the affairs of the family. Come with me, and I will explain them to you properly." While Xiao Muli knew something about the Xiao family’s affairs, his knowledge was only superficial.
The Xiao family was an old clan with a long history. And the fact that the Xiao family had not only endured over the long course of history, but had also grown increasingly powerful, was testament to its exceptional qualities.
