The Law of Heaven

Chapter 122 The Prime Minister's Visit
As night fell, Aihara finished decorating the house of the Ruan siblings. He set up a small mourning hall on the balcony, hung up a photo of Ruan Yun, placed many fruits and offerings, and lit an incense stick.

In the future, whenever Xiao Qi misses her brother, she can bring him back to visit, just like going back to her parents' home.

Anyway, I've been paying rent for twenty years.

After finishing all this, Mr. Xiang, who had been busy all day, took a taxi home. As soon as he entered the door, he went straight into the kitchen, and was dumbfounded the moment he opened the refrigerator: "Hey, where's my Coke!"

The kitchen was completely empty, and the refrigerator was also spotless, without even a single vegetable leaf left.

"Hey, where's my Black Cleaver?!"

Xiangsi's voice came from the living room: "I brought you your Coke, where did you go?"

"I helped a friend tidy up their house."

Aihara came out of the kitchen and saw the living room piled with cardboard boxes. He was shocked and said, "Didn't we talk about decluttering? How did we end up with so much stuff?"

"I'm not going to throw them away! We're taking all our things from childhood to adulthood with us. They're all precious memories!"

Xiangsi came out of the bedroom and tossed him a bottle of iced cola: "We can take it out and look at it when we're old."

Aihara took the iced cola, thought of the Ruan siblings, and paused for a second before saying, "Alright, that makes sense."

He opened the can of cola, downed it in one gulp, let out a burp, and said, "Aren't you tired of packing all this stuff?"

Xiangsi chuckled: "Sister Wanwu asked an auntie to help me tidy up, so I'm not tired at all."

"OK."

Aihara returned to his bedroom and glanced at it. Four cardboard boxes were neatly stacked on the floor, containing his clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter, as well as his usual textbooks and homework. In addition, there was his desktop computer, which had also been disassembled.

"Your toiletries are here. I've already packed the sheets and duvet cover and put them over there. Once you move over, I'll just put them on for you so you don't have to search for them anymore."

Xiangsi counted on her fingers: "I've packed your electric shaver and electric toothbrush in my box, and your socks and underwear are in the storage box too, so you don't lose them later. Including your bath towel..."

Aihara listened to her rambling on and on, but he didn't find it annoying at all. He just stared at her delicate and pretty face and felt a little dazed for a moment.

To outsiders, it might seem that after his second uncle passed away, Aihara became the head of the family and needed to take care of his younger sister.

The reality might be the opposite; it's Aihara who needs to be taken care of in daily life. He can't imagine how he would live if he lost his sister.

He has been taken care of too well over the years, so much so that he is still a giant baby when it comes to some daily trivial matters. He can't even remember where he puts his things, but Xiao Si can remember them clearly for him.

Aihara couldn't remember the last time she did laundry or cooked; it felt like something from the last century.

Xiao Si did all the housework.

"Brother, why don't you go sit in the living room for a while? I'll go check if there's anything else I've forgotten."

Xiao Sifei ran back to her bedroom.

Aihara was indeed very tired. He sat on the sofa and rested for a while. Looking at the cardboard boxes piled on the floor, he finally felt a weight lifted off his shoulders.

The ritual of rebirth without form was terminated, but a greater crisis was brewing. The supreme being would obviously not let it go so easily and would surely create an even greater disaster.

He happened to be the chosen one who usurped the Mirage Dragon's origin, making him a thorn in the side of the other party.

To survive this crisis, he must become stronger as soon as possible, advance to the next rank, and then find a way to achieve his own Grand rank.

After all, one must be strong to succeed.

Currently, his rank is at the Reincarnation Rank, and his spiritual essence accumulation is at 25%, which is still some distance away from advancement.

The second level of the Perfection Technique is not yet complete, and the proficiency of his abilities is far from being fully honed.

Xiao Qi still needs him to feed her, and the two of them are far from having a good understanding of each other. He has not yet mastered the other major, the Technique of Materialization, and he doesn't know how long he will need to practice swordsmanship before he can reach the entry threshold for practicing the Ghost God Slash.

This goes without saying that supercomputer computing is even more advanced.

It's all a problem! It gave him the feeling that he had too much summer homework to finish all at once.

"Come one by one."

Aihara sighed.

He wasn't too worried about the future.

After all, with the existence of the Mirage, Aihara has many opportunities to exchange information and resources, so he is not trapped in an information cocoon and has a lot of room for maneuver.

"As for the living spirits, we currently have a storage-type gluttonous bear, which is quite valuable. The Black Blade, Black Mirror, and Life Slug are suitable for combat. In the Mirage Tower, there's also a most precious living spirit, the Ghost-Faced Clown, used for self-defense..."

Aihara was playing with the gluttonous bear; these were all his gains and achievements during this period.

Considering that he has been awakened for less than a month, his current achievements are already quite remarkable.

Of course, the most important gain was Little Dragon Girl. However, after crying her heart out at home, the little bit of spiritual energy she had painstakingly accumulated was all used up. She is currently fast asleep, vaguely making mumbling noises in her sleep.

Kind of cute.

"Brother, look what I found!"

Xiao Si rummaged through her bedroom and found an old piggy bank, pouring out a handful of coins onto the coffee table.

"what is this?"

Aihara paused for a moment.

"You forgot? Ha, fickle man."

Xiangsi, hands on her hips, huffed, "This is the change you earned by collecting bottles outside back then. You wanted to scrape together over four thousand yuan to buy each of us a Switch so we could play Pokémon together online."

Aihara fiddled with the coins and couldn't help but say, "I know, but how come there are so many?"

"I deposited money into it too. Back then, I helped a lot of classmates with their homework, and I got two yuan for each time!"

Xiangsi said proudly, "Am I amazing?"

Aihara smiled silently. They were really naive back then. They had saved up only a little over three hundred yuan by collecting bottles and doing homework for others.

Looking back now, it doesn't matter whether we could save enough money or not. Those days of hard work and saving together are the most precious treasures in my memory.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Just as Xiangsi was about to open the door, she was stopped.

Aihara grasped her arm, shook his head at her, and his expression suddenly turned serious.

Click.

He waved to the distance and turned the doorknob.

The door opened, and a short-haired girl in a suit and tie stood in the doorway carrying a suitcase. The light in the entryway illuminated her delicate yet sharp face, her eyes clear and bright.

Behind the girl is her team.

Everyone was dressed in a suit and tie, looking like an elite, exuding a refined and profound aura.

All employees are promoted to higher ranks.

The members of the Xiang family finally arrived.

"Please come in."

Aihara sat on the sofa and said calmly.

Xiao Si was pulled behind him by his mind.

"Sorry for the late-night visit."

Xiangyi led her team into the house, and after a quick glance around, she paused for a moment before realizing that the other party was preparing to move.

Then they saw the brother and sister by the sofa.

The siblings are both impeccably good-looking, but their clothing is relatively simple. Their living conditions over the years have been quite ordinary, and they do not have the noble air of the elite class.

My brother is a wheel-turner.

The younger sister is in a stress phase.

It's highly likely that they couldn't even integrate the ancient artifacts.

Before ordinary people can fully grasp the power of ancient artifacts, they are in a period of stress response.

The team members quickly analyzed the enemy's information and realized that the main family and branch family of the Xiang family were indeed different, and the brother and sister had very obvious differences in talent.

“My name is Xiang Yi, a member of a collateral branch of the Xiang family, the thirty-sixth generation successor. My father is Xiang Dong, and my mother is Liu Shishi. I have come here on the orders of the family to bring you home.”

Xiangyi took a deep breath, gently adjusted the hem of her suit jacket, and slowly knelt down on the ground.

At that moment, the team members' expressions changed slightly. They all knew about the Xiang family's outdated rules, but they never expected their captain to actually kneel before them. The Xiang family's rules were simply too extreme in this civilized and open society, to the point that most of them felt indignant on behalf of their captain.

For a fleeting moment, there was a buzzing sound.

The entire team was stunned.

Because Xiangyi did not manage to kneel down to the ground as she wished, her knees stopped abruptly an inch from the floor, as if suspended in mid-air, without falling.

An invisible force lifted her up.

Xiangyi frowned slightly and raised her head.

Aihara sat on the sofa, also frowning as he looked at her.

"Are you OK?"

To be honest, his brain was a bit malfunctioning: "Are you sure you're not mistaken about the generations? Even if I'm your grandfather's generation in our family, you don't need to kneel down to me, do you?"

Xiangsi was also dumbfounded. With her intelligence, she knew that this was a member of the Xiang family, but the fact that the other party knelt down like a tiger right away was really shocking.

The team members exchanged bewildered glances. It seemed the other side was aware of the situation and hadn't actually made their captain kneel.

Xiang Yi explained expressionlessly, “This is the rule of the Xiang family. You are a noble member of the royal family, and I should have been your protector. I should have knelt before you. Moreover, my parents are sinners who have committed grave mistakes. I grew up carrying the burden of sins and have no right to face you directly.”

Aihara gazed silently at Aoi Sora.

Xiangsi also gazes towards Aihara.

The brother and sister looked at each other.

They both saw the doubt in each other's eyes.

What are Dharma protectors?

I'm coming.

The team members thought to themselves, "This is exactly what the other side cares about most: the tradition of the Xiang family's protectors!"
“Every member of the Xiang family who has awakened the Pure Eye has a protector from a collateral branch. The protector will serve the family for life and dedicate everything, whether it be body or soul. I should have been your protector, but because your Pure Eye is not complete, the family does not need me to dedicate my life to you. As long as I bring you back to the family, I will be free.”

Xiangyi remained kneeling in mid-air and replied solemnly, "I hope you don't mind. This has nothing to do with you. It's all the family's rules. I only follow the rules, and I have the right to choose."

Hearing this, Aihara touched his eyes and smiled silently: "Oh, I understand. You mean you don't like me, right?"

Xiangsi's eyes became wary, and she suddenly felt a sense of unease towards this relative she had never met before.

“I’ve said before that this has nothing to do with you. It’s just that my family gave me the opportunity to choose, so I have the right to choose. I have things I need to do.”

Xiang Yi placed her hand on her chest and lowered her head: "I have come to see you because Qin Island is about to be designated as a sinful area. All the immortal beings here will be marked as sinful. You can still leave now. As long as you are willing to return to the Xiang family, you can cultivate safely and rise to prominence."

The team members also said gently, "Our captain is a renowned genius in the academy. He specially gave up his studies and came all the way to pick you up. You have the Pure Eye, even if it's not complete, it's really a waste of your talent to be in a place like this. You are still young, there's no need for you to be marked as sinful and suffer with the people here."

They used very respectful titles.

you.

This also means they're speaking up for Xiangyi.

But Aihara noticed a detail.

They only talked about you.

Instead of...you guys.

Can my sister come back with me?

Aihara asked expressionlessly.

Xiangsi pursed her lips and remained silent.

"No."

Unexpectedly, Xiangyi answered without hesitation: "To be precise, apart from the relatives of the Xiang family clan, no one is qualified to be your family. That is to say, although your sister is related to you by blood, she is essentially a distant relative. In addition, due to some historical issues, she cannot return to the Xiang family."

Xiangsi pursed her lips and backed away step by step. She would be happy if her brother could leave this place and return to where he belonged. So at this moment, she felt from the bottom of her heart that she could not become that burden.

You can't hold your brother back.

Her brother has returned to the Xiang family to develop his career; it's not like they'll never see each other again. She can just work hard to become stronger in the future.

However, Xiangsi suddenly became unable to move.

A gentle thought supported her supple waist, preventing her from retreating even a single step.

"I see."

Aihara nodded slightly and said calmly, "I won't leave. I'm going to stay and take care of my sister."

Xiangsi was slightly taken aback and was about to stop him.

But he stopped her with a calm look in his eyes.

Xiangsi knows her brother very well.

My brother is angry.

They frowned in confusion, and the team members also showed expressions of bewilderment.

"She is not your sister."

She explained, "From a bloodline perspective..."

For a fleeting moment, Aihara raised his right hand, and countless coins trembled angrily in mid-air, reflecting a cold light.

“She is my sister, my only sister. You are saying such nonsense in front of my sister. You are offending my sister, and you are offending me as well.”

His eyes gleamed with a fierce gold light as he said expressionlessly, "Now, before I make a move, get out of my house immediately and try your best not to show your face in front of me again."

The surging dragon's might is spreading.

Their bangs trembled slightly in the turbulent waves of their thoughts, and their suits rippled like water, like ocean tides.

The entire team was puzzled.

Does this person not know how noble the Xiang family is?

The three upper families of Jiuge.

Super family.

How could anyone give up the opportunity to return to their own family for a sister with whom they have no blood relation?

Is there something special about this girl?
Xiang Chaonan and that woman's daughter.

Perhaps there really is something extraordinary about it.

The thought flashed through everyone's minds.

Lu Zhijing, a member of the team, became increasingly curious. He possessed a complete technique called the Bewitching Mind Technique and was a seasoned illusion expert. He secretly released a trace of mental fluctuation, attempting to probe the girl's situation.

At that moment, he froze.

Because he sensed an extremely dangerous signal, his surging aura boiled up, like a dragon's roar.

Aihara gave him a cold glance.

The molten gold in his pupils seemed to be burning.

It was as if it wasn't human at all.

Instead, it was a majestic ancient dragon!

"Who gave you permission to spy on her?"

Aihara said coldly.

not good!

Xiang Yi's expression changed slightly, and others in the team also realized what was happening. The fluctuations of spiritual energy surged like a raging torrent.

There was a bang.

More than three hundred coins shot out from in front of Aihara, piercing the air like cannon fire. The surging air currents exploded in an instant, shattering the glass in the window.

The flipping coins reflected Xiangyi's slightly flustered face, as well as the shocked expressions of her teammates.
