Ficool

Chapter 22 - 22. Doubts

While those big bosses were discussing there… Xie Yue and Hu Liena came to their new room. It was decorated with many cute things and furnished with new furniture.

Xie Yue jumped on top of the bed happily.

"It's soft and comfortable to sleep on."

"Brother~ it's very soft!" Hu Liena was also a little smart girl. She didn't ask for details about the events that happened earlier. From her brother's replies, she understood many things.

Xie Yue wanted an obedient puppy but not a stupid puppy, so he had taught her how to behave in different situations.

"Yeah, it's very bouncy as well. Nana, let's sleep." Xie Yue started sleeping. It was also his first time feeling such a soft bed. Even the high-end hotel beds couldn't compare to this one.

If it were any other day, they would be cultivating their soul power at this time. But two days ago, Xie Yue instructed her not to practice until he said so again. He also told her not to tell anyone that she had cultivated before.

If they cultivated here now, there would be many suspicious points. Even their innate full soul power lie would be exposed. So they couldn't practice until Ning Fengzhi taught them.

For the next two days, they played, ate, and slept.

....

Two days later

In the main hall of the STGT sect, a person knelt on the floor and talked with Ning Fengzhi for a while before leaving. That person was the leader of the investigation team they had arranged to find out about Xie Yue and Hu Liena. Ning Fengzhi had sent the best information gatherers to uncover their identities.

The hall was silent for a while…

"Uncle Sword, what do you think about this investigation result?" Ning Fengzhi asked Sword Douluo.

"In my opinion, it is a good thing. After all, there is no one in the empire who knows about them."

"We even checked Spirit Hall's awakening ceremony files. There is no mention of a Moon Blade martial soul or a Spirit Fox martial soul."

"If I have to guess the reason for this… the person who awakened their martial souls is already dead. And he was killed by that little guy. So Spirit Hall doesn't have any information about their awakening."

"After all, if the 'villain uncle' who awakened their martial souls had reported the news to Spirit Hall, he could have received rich rewards. Since he didn't, then he is surely dead or injured. But I am inclined towards the possibility of his death."

Sword Douluo shared his opinion.

"Yes, I also thought the same. That little guy's killing aura must have come from that villain uncle. We can't blame him for lying… In his eyes, we can see how much he has suffered."

"And in the past two days, we also observed his nature. He is a pitiful and good-natured kid. He is also very protective of his sister. Maybe when they tried to escape, he could have killed that villain uncle by mistake…" Ning Fengzhi said his thoughts.

"Yeah, dear~ I can't imagine how hard it was for them to survive until now," Ning Fengzhi's wife said. After all, she was a mother-to-be, and her maternal love was already overflowing.

"Yes~ so I decided to adopt both kids. If you're okay with it, wife, we can take them as our children," Ning Fengzhi said to his wife.

"Fengzhi~ wait." Just as Fengzhi decided to adopt them, Bone Douluo interjected.

"Uncle, is there something you want to say?" Fengzhi asked upon hearing Bone Douluo.

"Yes, there may be something we have missed. My doubt is, how can a newly awakened child injure a person to death? Even if he has a top martial soul, he shouldn't be able to kill a Soul Master or a Great Soul Master without alerting them. And once they were alerted, it would be impossible to kill them."

"So let's ask them about this before deciding. Maybe someone else was involved in this matter," Bone Douluo said calmly. Old people can indeed notice many things. After hearing Bone Douluo's doubts, the others also came to their senses.

"Yes, how could it be?" Ning Fengzhi decided to ask Xie Yue directly.

10 minutes later, they came to the siblings' room.

Xie Yue responded to them…

"Little guy~ don't lie to Uncle, okay? Only if you tell the truth can Uncle help you," Ning Fengzhi asked gently. Xie Yue nodded with bright eyes.

"Mm, Uncle~"

"Little guy~ did you kill that villain uncle by yourself?" Ning Fengzhi asked gently again.

Hearing the question, Xie Yue's body became stiff.

"I… I… I didn't… I didn't mean to kill him. I… I…" Xie Yue started crying with puppy eyes. His eyes were instantly filled with misty tears.

"Hey~ don't be afraid, child, it's not your fault. It's them—they're the bad guys… You didn't mean it. Those bad guys deserved to die." How could a mother's heart bear seeing a cute child being wronged? She knelt down with her pregnant belly and hugged him into her bosom, consoling him.

Xie Yue was also a big old pervert. He wanted to fuck this beautiful lady's cave-heaven. He took this chance to bury his face deep into her bosom. The others didn't find anything wrong with it. They waited until he finished crying without speaking anything.

After enjoying her breasts against his face for a while, Xie Yue pulled away and stopped crying. He now showed a shy look. His face was peach-red…

'What a cute child,' Ning Fengzhi's wife thought in her mind.

Hu Liena watched everything from the side with the same teary face. She didn't act. She cried because her brother cried… That's how kids are. They cry when their loved ones cry. But it fit the situation perfectly. No one doubted Xie Yue's words.

Seeing Xie Yue calm down, Ning Fengzhi asked again:

"Moon~ you don't have to worry about those bad guys. Uncle will kill them all to avenge you. Uncle only has one question—how did you injure him?" Ning Fengzhi asked slowly, carefully choosing his words.

"Oh~ that day, I awakened my martial soul after Nana awakened. After my awakening, I felt something in my martial soul. I wanted to go near Nana, so I went near her. After that, something happened… Then I gained powerful strength," Xie Yue told them slowly.

"What happened?" Bone Douluo asked. Everyone had already guessed something from Xie Yue's words. But if what they guessed was true… then they had surely hit the jackpot.

"Ah~ I'll show you. Nana, come here," Xie Yue told them and called Nana.

Everyone waited with anticipation.
