After a while Xiao Huoyan suddenly broke free from the family hug."Hm?"
Tian Xin didn"t understand why Xiao Huoyan reacted the way he did. His complexion turned ashen.
"They"re here…"
He said it more like a whisper.
"Who"s here? I can"t see anyone."
"… The people from The Jin Clan… They"re early…"
"What?! They"re here?! Now?!"
Tian Mei said
"How did they find you so fast?!", Tian Xin almost yelled with a shocked expression on her face.
"I don"t know…"
"What are we going to do now?", Tian Mei asked while trying to keep her calm.
" "We" are not going to do anything… You"ll stay here, while I go out to take care of the people from The Jin Clan."
"How can you just go out there alone?! Since Jin Niao knows about your powers, I"m sure he wouldn"t show up without a plan. Since he dares to show up, I"m almost certain that he has already come up with a way to counter your powers!"
"He won"t be able to count er powers he doesn"t" know anything about…"
"You mean…"
"Mhm. He doesn"t know everything. Not even father Long knew about everything. Besides… There are things that I recently discovered. I have yet to try them out, but I"m positive that he doesn"t have anything to his disposal, that could possibly kill me.
I"m not Immortal, but I heal very fast. Even if he were to personally come and take my heart out and pulverize it right in front of me, I"d still heal extremely fast. It"s only a matter of seconds."
"But doesn"t that make you an Immortal?!"
"No, it doesn"t. OR at least I don"t think it does. I"m pretty sure I"d die if you drain my body of blood."
"Then isn"t it practically impossible to kill you?"
"It"s just a theory, so I might actually be an Immortal…"
"How come you never told us this before, little brother?"
"I don"t know. It didn"t come to mind before…"
"You"re unbelievable…", Tian Xin said while sighing.
"Anyways! If I don"t come back in half an hour, wait here for at least two days, then crack these orbs to get out of here."
"But I want to come with you!", Tian Xin said while grabbing Xiao Huoyan"s hand.
"You can"t. I care about both you and mother Mei. Right now, you"re the only family I have left. I won"t let anyone hurt you. As long as I"m alive, no one shall even think about bothering you!"
"Brother…"
"Sweetie."
"Yes, mom?"
"I think you should listen to your brother. Even if both of us were to go out and help him, we"d probably just be a burden. This isn"t some weak though or anything. This is The Jin Clan. We won"t be of any help even if we were to go out."
"… Fine. I"ll stay."

"Thank you for understanding…"
After he said that, he just disappeared in a cloud of white mist.
-
Xiao Huoyan didn"t show himself in the beginning. He just hid in the shadows and observed everything.
"Jin Xin! Jin Xin! We know you"re here! Follow us back to The Jin Clan!
Jin Niao had shown up with an entire army of people from The Jin Clan. He was now shouting loudly for Jin Xin to come out.
"You seem to have forgotten something. My name isn"t Jin Xin. When Jin Long died, Jin Xin died with him."
"You! … Where are you? Show yourself!"
"You"re not worthy. Had it not been for the fact that you"re my father Long"s brother, I wouldn"t even bother to speak to you."
Even though everyone could here Xiao Huoyan"s voice, no one could see him. They couldn"t even figure out in which direction his voice came from.
"How dare you?! Have I been treating you well for nothing?!"
"How exactly have you been treating me well? Was that before or after you left me to die and fled when we got attacked? It"s strange… I can"t seem to remember when you"ve ever treated me well."
"I always cared for you! How could you say such a thing?"
"Give up the act already. It"s starting to become boring. I know that you"re here to kill me. I also know about your involvement in the accident involving my father Long."
"H-how… How can you-… What do you mean?!"
"Since you don"t remember, I"ll give you a hint; There is no poison under the heavens, which I cannot cure!"
"How did you know?! This is impossible!"
"I read your mind the first time we met. I know everything about you, including the jealousy you"ve always felt towards your brother."
"You! Y-you"re spouting nonsense!"
"We both know whether my words are true or not. No need to get so upset, hahahah."
Xiao Huoyan"s laughter was filled with mockery. He wanted Jin Niao to know that he really looked down on him.
"How could a little boy like you possibly read minds? Aren"t you just making this up to slander me?", Jin Niao said mockingly.
"You truly are a fool, hahah! Hm…"
"What? Can"t come up with any more lies? Hahahah!"
"Hm… I see your spirit essence is still very unstable…"
"What did you say?! How could you know--?!"
"I"m the cause, so of course I"d know about it."
"What do you mean?!"
"Back at the mansion, I accidently absorbed most of your spirit essence. Though I don"t regret it now, it really was an accident, so don"t blame me too much."
Even though they couldn"t see him, everyone felt his smile through his words.
