CHAPTER 253: CHAPTER 253: MISTAKE?

Xia Mian gently nodded, "Okay."

Upon first meeting Xia Weizhang, he seemed like a refined young man with an elegant demeanor, yet there was always a hint of cunning in his eyes.

After spending some time together, Xia Mian found that Xia Weizhang wasn’t a bad person; in fact, he could even be described as very sentimental.

What exactly happened between him and Ding Cheng that night in the small space, no one knows.

But afterwards, Xia Weizhang’s attitude towards Ding Cheng made Xia Mian see him in a new light.

A true man knows what to do and what not to do; he will take responsibility for his actions. That’s a real man.

"Dear granddaughter, remember to come back often." Xia Liang said with some sadness.

Xia Mian gently nodded; Song Juan was sleeping here, so even if she didn’t want to come back often, it was unlikely.

"Grandpa doesn’t have much to give you, so I’ll give you a bag of Heavenly Spirit Stones!" Xia Liang stroked his beard and tossed a white cloth bag to Xia Mian.

Xia Mian was unfamiliar with such things, but she had previously heard Ding Cheng talk about them, so she roughly understood that these were considered universal currency in the Mystical World.

With the thought of having them in case of emergency, Xia Mian accepted the Heavenly Spirit Stones thrown at her by Xia Liang.

"We’re leaving now." Xia Mian gave Xia Liang a deep look, "During the time I’m not here, please take good care of my mom."

That gaze from Xia Mian carried quite a bit of meaning, and Xia Liang didn’t doubt at all that if the Divine Clan didn’t take care of Song Juan, Xia Mian would absolutely discard the Divine Clan like a worn-out shoe!

"Don’t worry, as long as I’m still the Divine Master of the Divine Clan, she can always lie on the same bed with your father!" Xia Liang declared confidently.

Xia Mian gently furrowed her brows; what was this old man thinking!

What did it mean for Song Juan to always lie on the same bed as Xia Zhun?

Was lying on the same bed as Xia Zhun such a great gift?

Xia Mian didn’t bother arguing with Xia Liang and turned to look at Lu Zechuan, "Are you ready?"

Lu Zechuan gently nodded.

Xia Mian lightly moved her palm, following the method Xia Liang had taught her earlier, just as she was about to open the space tunnel, a white light suddenly floated out from Xia Liang’s arms.

In the white light was the soul body of the Wood Clan spirit Xia Liang had rescued in the barren forest.

"Dear grandson! Are you leaving now?" The Wood Clan Leader looked longingly at Lu Zechuan, eyes full of reluctance.

He was currently in soul form, and only the Divine Race Space was the best for nurturing his soul.

If Lu Zechuan left, it might be a long time before he could see him again.

Lu Zechuan gently furrowed his brows; he had no feelings for such a convenient grandfather, so he only silently looked at him without speaking.

"Dear grandson, don’t listen to the two fools beside you trying to trick you. The great responsibility of revitalizing the Wood Clan and Divine Clan lies with you. Just live your life well and take care of yourself, and I will be at ease." The Wood Clan Leader smacked his lips and said seriously, "I don’t ask you to achieve great things, but only for a peaceful life in the future..."

Lu Zechuan furrowed his brows once more, despite the soul body, he could truly sense the genuine feelings from the other towards him.

"Rest assured, I never intended to revive the Wood Clan." Lu Zechuan said lightly, his tone void of any emotion.

The Wood Clan Leader smiled slightly, "Nice, my dear grandson is truly independent!"

After saying this, the Wood Clan Leader reached out and pointed lightly at Lu Zechuan’s forehead, "I am passing on to you all the cultivation techniques of my Wood Clan. Work hard on your own when I’m not around."

After pausing, the Wood Clan Leader continued, "Your daughter-in-law is so impressive, you shouldn’t be too inadequate! Otherwise, you’d be unworthy of her!"

As soon as these words left his mouth, Xia Liang suddenly realized who this old thing was referring to as the daughter-in-law!

Immediately, Xia Liang’s face turned black, "What daughter-in-law? I’m telling you, old thing, don’t get any ideas about my dear granddaughter!"

The Wood Clan Leader chuckled softly, "There is a marriage contract between our two clans; previously your foolish granddaughter tried to break the contract and kept bothering my dear grandson. I didn’t even bother with you guys, so what? You still want to continue breaking the contract?"

Xia Liang gritted his teeth with anger, "Even if the two must marry, it would be your dear grandson joining our Divine Clan!"

The two old folks, having already agreed to the marriage, still argued heatedly about who would marry whom.

Xia Mian gently sighed, disinterested in watching these two treasures arguing, and waved to open the space tunnel.

Xia Mian, Lu Zechuan, Wei Wei, and Ling Fei disappeared together.

Xia Liang and the Wood Clan Leader ceased their quarrel, a trace of loneliness appearing on both their faces.

"My Wood Clan, finally has successors!" The Wood Clan Leader sighed with relief.

Xia Liang disdainfully pursed his lips, "What good is that if he still joins our Divine Clan!"

The Wood Clan Leader rolled his eyes at the other and coldly laughed, "You old thing, I haven’t even settled the debt from back then with you, and now you start trouble again, don’t you?"

Xia Liang wasn’t afraid at all, "Can’t believe you’re being fierce with me without even having a physical body? Believe it or not, I’ll shatter your soul!"

The Wood Clan Leader retorted, "Go ahead!"

The two old guys suddenly started fighting, and sounds of air splitting were heard from time to time above the Divine Race Space.

The fierce battle seemed to be the only way to alleviate the sadness of having just bid farewell to their dear granddaughter and grandson.

****

As Xia Mian and the others crossed the Space-Time Star River, when they opened their eyes again, they were greeted by a strange scene.

Mountains stack upon mountains, trees cluster with trees, and white fog floated in the sky, resembling a fairyland.

When they left, it was clearly winter, yet here, it wasn’t that cold.

Xia Mian furrowed her brows and raised her hand to rub her hair, turning to look at Lu Zechuan, "There is quite a temperature difference between here and Beijing. Are we in the south?"

Lu Zechuan suppressed his laughter with effort and slowly nodded, "Indeed, we have arrived in the south."

Xia Mian was somewhat frustrated, "I guess my skills are not very good."

Lu Zechuan raised his hand to gently rub Xia Mian’s hair, smiling with immense affection, "It’s your first time, so a little mishap is quite normal."

Xia Mian felt a bit defeated; to her, it was not normal at all!

"Let’s try again!" Lu Zechuan encouraged.

Xia Mian nodded in response and waved her hand once more.

The surrounding air flow sped up, the space began to warp, and beneath their feet, the Space-Time Star River appeared once more.

But it merely appeared for a moment before disappearing again in a flash.

Xia Mian looked down, staring at her hand repeatedly, "This shouldn’t be happening!"

Lu Zechuan also furrowed his brows, finally realizing something was amiss.

"What were you thinking before leaving the Divine Race Space?" Lu Zechuan asked softly.

"I was thinking about finding Qin Shuang..." Xia Mian’s words froze her in surprise.
