Chapter 135: Return of the Clansmen in Exile
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
On the way home on the flying ferry, the two of them were bored, so Ron told Karuman about the fun things that had happened in the trial realm.
Karuman looked at Ron and asked with a smile, “Has anything else happened in the trial realm? Have you killed anyone?”
Ron was very shocked. When he was relating the story, he did not know how to tell Karuman about his experience in killing people, and that the other parties were all extraordinary, so he simply skipped this part entirely. However, he did not expect Karuman to see through him.
“How could you tell this?” said Ron.
“Nothing, it was just a feeling, But this was also a good thing for you,” Karuman said slowly. “Moreover, the persons you killed were of extraordinary status, which was why you were in such a hurry just now when you left the mystic realm. Am I right?”
Ron looked as if he had been seen right through, and he was very perplexed as to why Karuman could see all this. “Do you even know this? Is all this written on my face?”
Although Karuman knew all this, he still did not know who Ron had killed. “So who did you kill?”
Ron looked around very warily, and found that there was no one around.
“Don’t worry, there are only the two of us here. I definitely won’t tell anyone about this.” Karuman looked at Ron and could not help but laugh.
“They’re trial-takers from the four large family clans of Wind Snow City.” Ron was still a little wary, afraid that too many people would know about this news, so he said softly.
“Not bad,” Karuman said with a smile. In fact, he had already guessed it. He had asked Ron only because he wanted to confirm his speculation.
Moreover, Karuman also knew that the Nicholas family clan had some deep entanglements with the four large family clans in Wind Snow City. However, the four large family clans were far weaker than the Nicholas family clan, so Karuman had never cared about the four large family clans.
However, he had not expected that Ron would kill everyone from the four major families in the trial ground. This was really not like Ron’s usual personality.
“You took the initiative to look for them?” Karuman asked curiously.
“Of course not. I don’t even know them. They delivered themselves to my door,” Ron said, looking exasperated, but also a little smug.
Ron explained everything in detail to Karuman. Indeed, Karuman had not expected them to take the initiative to look for Ron.
“You did very well then, but was there anyone else nearby at that time?” Karuman asked.
“Ididn’t see anyone, but that doesn’t rule out the possibility that someone was hiding,” said Ron hesitantly.
Ifnno one had seen it, it would have been fine. If someone had seen that it was Ron who had killed the descendants of the four large family clans, the latter would definitely not let the matter rest. However, since it had already happened, they could only discuss the matter after they got home.
By the time Ron’s loss of contact had ended, the search party had returned to Winterfrost. It had taken 14 days, one day less than the 15-day time limit set by the Old Ancestor.
On the second day after the search party had returned, the Nicholas family clan was in a happy mood. They were all happy about the return of their lost clansmen. It looked very lively in the Nicholas family.
Norton gave the order for the servants to quickly prepare for the ancestral worship ritual. He wanted the wandering clansmen to pay respect to their Old Ancestor as soon as possible so that the latter could see them.
In the entire search process, apart from finding the clansmen, this step was the most important. The Old Ancestor had to personally confirm if the ones they had found were indeed the descendants.
Outside the Nicholas family palace, Aaron and the others had already showered and changed their clothes. They had also rested for a day. Faced with an unfamiliar environment, Aaron and the others appeared a little uneasy. They could not stand or sit freely at ease, so they could only silently watch
Norton being busy.
After all, the luxury of the Nicholas family palace had far surpassed their expectations. Not in their lifetime had they imagined that they could live here in the future and even have servants to take care of their food, clothings and daily needs.
The family members whom Aaron had met over the past few days had also been very friendly to him, patiently introducing everything he did not understand to him. This made Aaron feel very warm, and dispelled all his doubts he had on the way here.
Due to Aaron’s age, he was standing at the front of the group. Lily was standing beside Aaron, her small hand holding tightly onto her grandfather’s hand. When she was too nervous, she would turn around and look at Kathleen. She would feel a little more at ease when she saw Kathleen.
However, only Lily had seen the Old Ancestor. After all, she had experienced many strange situations that night. She was the one who understood the situation the most.
Norton had also completed a series of rituals by the side. He said to everyone, “Come, let’s enter the ancestral hall to pay respect to our Old Ancestor.”
Upon hearing the word ‘Old Ancestor’, the few of them were very nervous. They did not dare to relax at all, afraid that they would do something wrong and make the Old Ancestor angry.
Following Norton’s instructions, they kowtowed to the ancestors of the Nicholas family in order. After they had finished all this, Lily stared intently at the portrait of the Old Ancestor in front of her, her eyes full of surprise.
The person in the portrait was identical to the phantom she had seen that night. This perhaps meant that she was destined to be a member of the Nicholas family clan and that she would become very powerful in the future.
Even the baby they had found in the cave had completed his worship ritual. This little baby was very well-behaved. Ever since he arrived, he neither cried nor made a fuss, which spared the servants worry.
After Norton’s diagnosis of the baby’s general condition, it was found that the baby’s constitution had changed, and there were some toxins in his body. If an ordinary person were to be in close contact for a long time, it might lead to a transfer of the toxins.
Norton did not have much experience with such situations, so he did not dare to act rashly. Moreover, he was still worried about the baby’s condition. He suddenly recalled that Xi Bolai had been staying in his palace these few days, so he let Xi Bolai take a look. The latter also expressed his helplessness
and worry that if he were to force the toxins out of his body, the risk would be too great.
However, Xi Bolai still used the seal to temporarily prevent the toxins from spreading, He would think of another solution when the baby was older.
Ina place where no one could see, there was a phantom on the uppermost tablet. He smiled at the heavy responsibility of the Nicholas family clan, it was a smile of satisfaction.
When all the worship rituals had been completed, the System prompt sounded in Romo’s ear.
