Heavenly Opposers

24 Chapter 24

"Good you have all gathered"

Yun Hao spoke as he looked at the people that had gathered, there weren't a lot, the ones that were gathered were the main family, Yun Hao stood at the middle as the others had gathered around him, meanwhile Xiao stood beside his mother and sister as he sometimes looked towards the nine year old girl

She was cute with long black hair that was tied in a pony tail, along with a cute nose and a dark black eyes that shined like gems, she was like a shy girl as she stood next to her father a handsome middle aged man, who was the only outsider that was not part of the family

Xiao knew who that man was, he was the son of the head of the Li family, it was a family that existed within in the Yun family territory, they weren't as strong as the Yun family but they weren't too bad, the 9 year old girl is the granddaughter of the head, while her mother had died after giving birth to her

That was not all in his first life the girl was his fiancé, well the engagement had only happened a month after his awakening, so he didn't expect it to happen so soon, looking at the shy girl Xiao could only sigh, back in his first life he didn't pay much attention to her, in fact he didn't give ber any attention after she had her talent awakening

The engagement of her's with him was like a slap or a game with him, mostly an engagement between two takes place after the two kids had awakened their talent, so they would be able to say that both the male and the female would be compatible

How would it be that suddenly the girl awakens a great talent while the boy doesn't? or it could happen the other way around, so as not to cause much of an issue family engagements are only decided after both the parties have the talent awakened, doing so as only one had awakened?, it was just like putting a gamble in someone's head and it was as if making fun of that person

And Xiao knows it too, in his past life his father never liked him, his mother or his sister, this had caused their standing to low and when Xiao awakened his talent was good but it was not like his talent was not seen before, hence he was even pushed more down, of course they didn't throw him away or cut resources from him

They just stopped minding about him, even in this life the talent he showed was also seen before, sure he has great comprehension, battle powers, so what?, to others his potential is only at what was seen, Xiao had thought that with what he had shown this won't happen again but alas he had though better of his family

'Sigh.....what was I thinking?'

Xiao's eyes for a moment turned extremely cold but it went back quickly no one noticed it except for Xuanyin, who had her connection with him, Xiao turned to the 9 year old girl, her name was Li Lan, and she was also among the one he had hurt, he vowed not to be like that of the past

In the past life just as she had awakened her talent Li Lan lost her sight, that's right she became blind, her cultivation talent wasn't shown to be great and no matter what doctor looked at her, they all said that she was destined to be blind and her powers not too great

It wasn't only blindness that had effected her, she even became disabled, she had any feelings in her legs and would have never being able to walk, in one word she would never be great in her life, Xiao still remembers how his mother had fought to cancel the engagement, how could his mother sit back and watch her son marry a disable?

But she didn't win her argument, his grandfather and father spoke about the 'integrity' and the 'face' of the family and how breaking a promised engagement is bad for the family, yup a bunch of bullshit, the Min family and his father just wanted to put him down his own child but the one that was truly hurting was Li Lan

She truly had some feelings for him but the arrogant Xiao back then had trampled on them and left, he didn't pay any heed to her, leaving her completely heartbroken and turning the shy girl into a cold person but to all those that had looked down on her, well she showed them whose boss

It had turned out that she was chosen for a legacy by an Immortal and the suffering she went through was a test and when she did pass, well she became someone that soared to the fourth heaven in a blink of an eye, she in the future was an archer goddess, Xiao who looked down at her could only shout out in awe when her stories where spread across the land

Her most popular story being she single handedly defending an entire realm from a monster wave with a single bow, her name and adventures where spread across the realms and she to was part of the heavenly Opposers but it was of her own choice, well the legacy she was chosen for did play a part

She was the void archer blessed with the void physique and with the good will of the Void king she lived a life above all, in the future there were several phrases about her some being: 'never let down your senses in front of the void archer, then you won't know how you died'

Anyway the truth was that just like Xuanyin, Li Lan too became a legend, hell she was even adopted as the Void kings daughter but to those that knew the legends never knew the trouble Li Lan had gone through, Xiao had thought that after Li Lan became famous she had forgotten about him and didn't care but he was wrong, during some of his travels she had saved his life without him knowing

It was only when he read the Heavenly Opposers did he learn the truth, he didn't know why she did it but she had helped him and he was one that pays back his debts, especially when he knows that in the future she too was not really happy or content ever in her life and that was all due to the Heavenly Immortals that had thought that she was a chosen

Countless times they had created chaos in her life, despair and danger followed her and the Heavenly Opposers kept her in their list, due to the heavenly trees intervention, this generations supposed chosen ones were protected in a fog, it did protect them but several talents that should have shined had been snuffed out due to suspicion

But this time there might be a difference not all of them might meet the dark, some might live but that would only be if Xiao willed and he only moves when he's sure of his profit
