Heavenly Dao Child

Sabine drew Jacklin into a bone-crushing hug which Jacklin returned with a small smile on her face as she spoke, "Mother there is nothing to worry about, as I am safe now."

Sabine let go of her as she spoke with tears in her eyes, "I do not know what I would do if something happened to you."

"It is great that there was someone who was able to save her."

Sabine looked towards her grandfather as she spoke with a nod, "It is though who was he?"

As Sabine asked the question Li Xiu growled as she replied to her, "A barbarian, even if he had managed to save sister that man is nothing but an uncouth barbarian."

Keya snorted at her words as she spoke, "You are saying that because he slammed you on the ground hard when you tried to hit him from behind."

Li Xiu scowled as she spoke, "And you are supporting him because he was luckily able trigger a pill tribulation."

Keya growled as she spoke, "Please, there is no luck involved in such delicate matters only skill involved."

Both Fang and Sabine looked towards each other as Fang spoke with a small smile, "What do you think about him daughter."

Jacklin's face contorted into intense anger as she almost bellowed out loud, "He is a savage barbaric heathen that should be whipped."

Both her parents looked at each other again as Sabine spoke with anger in her voice, "What did he do to offend my daughter?"

"He  ...he, that lout said I have toxicity in my body, that I need to take care of it and he said that in front of everyone in the restaurant, how dare he."

Fang winced at what he heard as he watched his wife getting greatly incensed as he sighed inwardly, 'Whoever that cultivator was he really lacks proper manner telling a lady something like that is similar to walking up to a lady and announcing for the world to hear that she stinks and she should take a bath.'

Keya quickly intervened as she spoke, "Jacklin you were not coherent yet he might have meant that the poison might have left some residue in your body and it might have harmed you."

Jacklin growled out loud as Fang spoke, "So do any of you know who he is?"

The girls shook their heads as Keya spoke with a sigh, "No uncle we do not know, though Senior Yu Wu of Shangri-La was accompanying them so she might know who he is."

Fang's eyes narrowed as he spoke with a frown, "I see than I will have to contact Lady Yu Wu then."

"I think that might be a problem uncle."

Fang turned towards Li Xiu as he spoke with a hint of curiosity in his voice, "Why so Li Xiu?"

"The large auction of Shangri-la will take place within a few days so she might be busy."

"I see may be I will be able to meet her later then."

"There is no need for you to meet with her, as I do not want to do anything with that loathsome man."

Fang sighed especially seeing his wife nod in agreement with his daughter as he spoke, "Jacklin, you may not like it, but you owe your life to that person as such you should try to repay your debt to that person as soon as possible since you seem to loath him."

Jacklin's shoulder slouched as she with a slight grumble, "If you say so father."

Fang smiled at her as he spoke, "Excellent."

"Jacklin I hope you are doing well now since you are with your family."

The heavy but kind voice drew their attention as Sabine smiled at the speaker as she spoke, "Grandpa please come in and have a seat, Jacklin said you went in search for the culprit there was no need for you to do that you could have send someone."

Yujie smiled as he spoke, "I could but…", his smile turned into a dangerous one as he continued, "How could I let someone harm my family when I am still alive."

"So grandpa did you catch him?"

Yujie sighed as he spoke, "Yes, the person who had managed to poison you had been found but he was found dead, apparently he had been dead since dawn."

Hearing his words everyone's eyes widen as Keya spoke with a gasp, "That means sister Jacklin is still in mortal danger."

Yujie grimaced as he spoke with a nod, "Yes, she is since the assassin is still in loose though I believe the assassin would be quite for a few days so as to lower the heat.", he then turned towards Jacklin as he spoke, "Child, can you remember anyone who would wish to kill you."

A tired smile came on Jacklin's face as she spoke, "The list is huge great grandpa, there are many who would love to see me dead because of various reasons."

Yujie sighed before he spoke with a frown, "Fang where is Joseph?"

"Joseph went on a hunt with his friends but upon hearing Jacklin's situation both father and mother left to escort him back."

Yujie gave a nod of approval as he spoke, "Excellent, we should not lower our guard if it happened with Jacklin then it could happen with Joseph as well.", he then turned towards Jacklin as he spoke with a smile on his face, "So child what did your rescuer look like?"

At his words, the trio of woman blushed as Keya spoke with a dreamy look on her face, "The most handsome man I have ever seen, and interestingly enough he kind of looks like brother except he is much more handsome that him and his mismatch eyes add more to his appeal."

Both Fang and Sabine's heart did a flip upon hearing the description before they squashed the feeling while Yujie simply stroked his beard in deep thought before he spoke with a smile, "Seems like an interesting person."

*************************

Meanwhile, a certain family had gathered in their usual place when their youngest daughter arrived with a smile on her face she began to speak, "Ryuu made contact with his biological family."

Her words made the rest of her family sit straight as Maheswara spoke with anxiousness in his voice, "So what happened?"

"His sister was poisoned so he saved her."

Antariksh tilted her head as she spoke in a curious manner, "Eh I got poisoned and Ryuu saved me, I do not remember.", she then turned towards Sylvana as she spoke with a frown on her face, "Sylvana did something like that with any of us."

With an amused look on her face, Sylvana shook her head as Antariskh spoke with a confused look on her face, "See neither of us remember anything like that and I might not downplay his skills but any poison that would kill us is currently beyond Ryuu's scope to heal us from."

Shamiran could see the mirth in Antariskh's eyes as she spoke with a snort, "I know you know whom I am speaking about."

With a tired drawl, Antariskh spoke, "Sister the only sister Ryuu has is us and no one else."

Nuwa sighed as she spoke, "So, what happened next? Did either of them figure out each other's identity?"

Shamiran shook her head as she spoke, "No they did not Ryuu had gone to a restaurant when an attempt on that girl's life took place, Ryuu helped her by diagnostic the poison properly before creating and administrating the cure to her."

Veena gave a nod of approval as she spoke, "Such a kind hearted boy helping strangers without asking in return."

Shamiran gave a nod before she spoke with a frown, "But, apparently that girl took an offence to him when he gently reminded her to better take care of herself since she has lots of toxicity caused by pills in her body."

Antariskh frowned as she spoke, "What an ungrateful girl, my brother saved her life and she should be grateful to him instead she took offence to the fact he is giving her good advice."

Celestia nodded as she spoke in support of Antariksh, "Our eldest daughter is right that girl is ungrateful."

"Apparently according to what I have learned, it is a matter of great dishonor for any woman to be mentioned as such."

Veena had a look of understanding as she spoke, "Ah, I see so they are embarrassed when their mistakes and callousness is made public like that, as they should be but still I do not see any reason for her to be angry with Ryuu."

Sylvana snorted as she spoke, "Ego, first mother, it is her ego that made her angry as the world around her learned how clumsy and lazy she is that girl is trying to find someone to blame for it."

Maheswara shook his head as he spoke, "Simply disgraceful though at the same time is shudder at what would have happened to Ryuu if he were to grow up amongst such people."

A collective shudder went down everyone's spine as Antariksh summarized their thoughts, "Nothing except a waste of talent and life.", a sentiment that everyone seemed to share.
