CHAPTER 160 THE COMPLICATED THINGS (PART TWO)

But Belle's question made his own questions bubble to the surface of his mind once again. 'If Belle's

mother is not my mother, then who is my real mother? Where could she be now?' While he was in the

Holy Lord Diana's place, his mind became rather absent during the latter part of their conversation.

After he heard the shocking truth from Diana, he found himself wondering about Belle's true identity.

But more than that, he felt so anxious to find out about his own family history that he could barely listen

to anything that Diana was telling him.

Now, as he was watching Belle, he began to think about what his next steps should be. 'It looks like I

need to go back to the Chu Clan, ' he thought to himself. The Chu Clan was where he was raised.

Therefore, he thought that some of the people there must know the answers to his many burning

questions. He became restless and desperate to know who he really was.

"Darren, why didn't you come here with your wife? I really wanted to see her. Colin told me that she is

really good looking. Is that true?" Belle asked earnestly, interrupting Darren's train of thought. Darren's

cheeks became flushed. He had no idea how to answer her. Even though he was a grown-up man by

all means, he still found it hard to free himself from being shy when it came to the subject of love and

affection.

"I will bring her next time. But first things first. I should visit Elder Xenia while I am here. Could you

show me to her palace?" Darren said.

Belle giggled, revealing the deep cute dimples on her cheeks, as she saw Darren's embarrassed face.

"Darren, why is your face so red? Are you embarrassed?" she taunted.

"Nonsense!" he exclaimed, his face turning even redder.

Belle then led her brother to see her master. She kept making fun of her brother all the way though.

Just as Darren tried to come up with a topic to distract Belle from mentioning the embarrassing topic

again, a low voice called out from the house ahead of them, "Is that Belle's brother Darren? Come in,

please!" Darren relaxed and went in. The moment he entered the house, he saw Elder Xenia lying on a

bed with a pallid and haggard face.

Darren folded his hands together and bowed politely before taking a seat.

Elder Xenia rose and leaned her back against the bedstead in order to face Darren and talk to him

properly. She looked at Darren from head to toe and grinned with appreciation. "I didn't expect you to

become so handsome, boy. Did you ever blame me from taking Belle away from you?" she asked.

"I would never have done that. Besides, you have been so kind and caring towards Belle. No words

can express how thankful I am for all that you have done for her, but nevertheless, I still want to thank

you for all the effort you have put in raising Belle," Darren said. Darren stood up and bowed his head

again sincerely. He felt deeply indebted towards the woman who had raised his sister and taught her

everything to be an agreeable lady.

Elder Xenia smiled. She was very impressed with Darren's polite and courteous demeanor. "You are

indeed a good boy. You talk about your gratitude to me, but actually it was you who saved me from

being killed. If it weren't for you, I would not be lying here and talking to you. I owe you a really big

favor. Looking at you, I could not help but remember the day I separated you and Belle. At that time,

you were just an immature little boy. But now, you have grown up into such a mighty, excellent fighter. I

am really proud of you!" she said. She motioned for Darren to sit back down in his seat.

Darren was not one to hesitate or be irresolute. After thanking Elder Xenia, he sat down at once.

With a confused look, Darren said again, "Elder Xenia, I don't understand. Given the prominent

cultivation base you have accumulated, I'm guessing you have already reached the middle stage of the

Wonder Realm. Being already in such a high realm, who even had the ability to hurt you so badly?

That's just so unbelievable to me." On the basis of strength, Elder Xenia definitely ranked in the top ten

among all the elders in the entire Holy Land. Anyone who was strong enough to overpower her could

not have been someone ordinary, so Darren had been thinking about it hard on his way there.

Upon hearing Darren's confusion, a wry smile formed on Elder Xenia's lips. For a moment, she merely

shook her head, not offering an explanation.

"It was the people from the Chasm Clan," Belle pointed out after a few moments of silence. "Those

bastards came across my master in the monster domain. She had been looking for some magical

herbs when they saw her. When they saw that my master had already found quite a few valuable Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

herbs, those bullies attacked her and not only snatched the herbs from her, but also united their forces

and badly injured her," she added. Belle grew irritated as the unpleasant memory of the past came

alive in her mind. She felt so sorry for what her master had been through.

Darren was not surprised, though. Right from the beginning, Darren had a feeling that the Chasm Clan

might be the one to blame for Elder Xenia's injuries. The Chasm Clan was one of the two biggest

forces in the southern territory, and they had a bad reputation for bullying others who were inferior to

them in strength.

"A bunch of vicious and evil assholes!" Darren exclaimed. Seeing how severely injured Elder Xenia

was, Darren became filled with fury.

Elder Xenia sighed and shook her head in dismay. "You don't need to worry about me. I am in a much

better condition now. All of my wounds have healed already and my body strength will be back to

normal in no time. We cannot draw our sword against the Chasm Clan now because they are still much

stronger and powerful than we are. We can't afford to bring any more damage to our Holy Land," she

said remorsefully. Elder Xenia thought about all of the years they had spent living under the threats of

the Chasm Clan, and an immense surge of hatred rushed through her veins.
