The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 79 - Decision (1)_1

“Grandma.

Don’t you like Baby anymore?” Situ Xin turned around and immediately caught the gaze of her grandfather, Old Master Situ, who signaled her to go and coax Old Madam Situ.

Throwing herself onto Old Madam Situ, Situ Xin acted coquettishly, which finally brought Old Madam back to the present.

“Baby, what’s wrong?”

“Well, it’s just that Grandma doesn’t like Baby anymore and ignores Baby.” Situ Xin pouted her small mouth and looked at Old Madam Situ with a face full of grievance.

“How could Grandma ignore Baby?

Grandma likes Baby the most.” Old Madam Situ, seeing her granddaughter’s cute appearance, couldn’t resist and lightly pinched Situ Xin’s face.

Situ Xin, still with a face full of grievance, turned to look at Old Master Situ and complained to him with her eyes.

At the Xiao Family, after everyone had gathered, Old Master Xiao announced, “Cough, cough, let’s go to my study; I have something to say.” His words made everyone but Xiao Guobing, who was in on the situation, look at each other questioningly, wondering what could be so serious as to require going into the study.

“Sit down, all of you sit.” Old Master Xiao looked at Old Madam Xiao, Liu Yun, and Xiao Muli, all with serious faces, and signaled them to relax and take a seat.

“What’s the matter, Old Master, that you call us all together like this?” Old Madam Xiao held the most authority out of the three.

“Yes, there is an issue, Little Yun,” Old Master Xiao called Liu Yun’s name pointedly, making her subconsciously clench her fists.

She said, “Dad, what is it?”

“Don’t be nervous.

I just want you to be careful about the people around you, don’t trust them too much.” Staring at Old Master Xiao’s tense face made Liu Yun feel anything but relaxed.

Though Liu Yun didn’t understand why her father-in-law said this, she still replied, “Yes, Dad, I’ll be careful.”

“Good.” Old Master Xiao nodded, then glanced at the four people in the study room.

“Regarding this matter, I don’t want anyone to spread it outside.

If I find out who leaked it, don’t blame me for imposing family discipline.” The Xiao Family had been a famous aristocratic family since the Qing Dynasty, hence, their family disciplines have continued for many years.

“Understood.” Hearing Old Master Xiao invoke the family discipline indicated the severity of the situation, so everyone tightened their expressions even further.

Old Master Xiao took out two bottles of elixir and repeated what Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo had said.

“Old Master, is this real?

It sounds too mystical to be true.” Old Madam Xiao was clearly skeptical and Liu Yun looked equally incredulous.

But Xiao Muli’s small face showed no change.

“Whether it’s real or not, we’ll know after we take it.

In any case, both Situ and Old Lu wouldn’t lie to me.

Of course, if you’re afraid to take it, I have no objections,” Old Master Xiao said while starting to distribute the Marrow Cleansing Pills.

“Grandpa, I’ve already taken it,” Xiao Muli declined when Old Master Xiao handed a Marrow Cleansing Pill to him.

“What?

You’ve taken it?

Where did you get it from?” Old Master Xiao demanded an explanation, his face telling Xiao Muli to confess immediately, or else face his discipline.

“It was Xiao Xin who gave it to me, she said her master gave it to her and told us not to tell anyone.” If it weren’t for the fact that Old Master Xiao was currently holding that elixir, Xiao Muli would never have admitted it.

“So it was Xiao Xin who gave it to you.

Alright then, I’ll hold onto this pill for you,” realizing it was Situ Xin who gave it to Xiao Muli made Old Master Xiao understand and drop the matter.

“I was wondering why you kept running to the bathroom after coming home that day.

I thought you had eaten something bad.

I was worried about you for quite a while,” remembering the events of the previous days, Liu Yun looked at Xiao Muli with a disapproving eye, her tension momentarily forgotten.

“Now that makes sense.

These past few days, when I went to the Situ Family to practice martial arts, I noticed this kid was improving at an astonishing speed.

I even mentioned to Haotian that it’s great to be young, their martial arts progress way faster than us old bones.

So you took the Marrow Cleansing Pill,” Xiao Guobing also remembered his son’s unusual behavior during the past few days.

“Alright, does everyone believe in the pill’s effectiveness now?

Everyone take one.”

Situ Xin had already received news from Cai Meijuan, but she still did not relax her surveillance of Cai Meijuan.

She wanted to see if there would be any further developments.

So, it wasn’t until midnight that Situ Xin stepped into her space.

As Situ Xin’s cultivation level grew higher and higher, her training speed also became slower.

It no longer progressed as quickly as before.

But even so, Situ Xin’s training speed was still considered fast among the Cultivation World.

After finishing her cultivation session and letting out a breath of air, Situ Xin stood up and stepped into her laboratory.

She had regretted giving Xia Yujie the handgun she newly developed that day.

It was the first gun she had made in this life, and she had just given it away.

“I must make another one today or else I won’t feel at ease,” Situ Xin was not only pushing herself to make another gun simply because of that reason but also because she wanted to help Xia Yujie seek vengeance.

If she was going to have a showdown with the Dragon Society, she definitely needed a gun.

Speaking of Xia Yujie, the Dragon Society, and the gangs of Capital City, Situ Xin had begun to search her memory for information about the Capital City’s gangs while in the classroom that afternoon.

She had flipped through all the data in her mind about the Capital City’s gangs, except she could find no information about the Dragon Society.

“Huh, maybe the little butterfly I am has fluttered its wings enough to change some things.” She considered how different the present was from her previous life: she was no longer an orphan, the Situ Family and Loo Family still existed and were thriving.

And there was Xiao Qinfeng, whose career would have been flourishing at this point but was now reincarnated.
