Chapter 1805 - 69: Ziwei’s Old Man
Does Ziwei have any family members left?
Zhang Xiaoman had asked her this question before, and the answer was yes, but they are extremely rare.
Ziwei’s species is also part of the Spiritual Wisdom Clan, but the clan is large and contains other branches, such as the Lankdo People, the Poison Clan, the Yuanxin Clan, and so on.
Ziwei’s branch is the Purple Charm Clan, characterized by their purple hair that can subtly move with their emotions.
However, the members of the Purple Charm Clan are as rare as giant dragons in mystical novels, even throughout the entire Dark Star Alliance. So, a Purple Charm Clan member might live their whole life without meeting another of their kind outside their home planet.
And now, the Purple-clothed Elder standing before Zhang Xiaoman is clearly a member of the Purple Charm Clan, which is evident through the features on the elder’s body.
Initially, to avoid attracting the elder’s attention and out of respect for their strength, Zhang Xiaoman didn’t observe the figure in the sky closely, thus not noticing the Purple-clothed Elder’s identity.
It wasn’t until after a confrontation with the elder that he got a chance to study him closely, realizing that his race was the same as Ziwei’s, of the Purple Charm Clan.
What intrigued Zhang Xiaoman the most was that even though the Purple-clothed Elder was of the same clan as Ziwei, his emotions seemed far too intense, suggesting a relationship beyond ordinary clan ties, possibly familial.
Zhang Xiaoman was curious because Ziwei had told him she was alone, having lost her family long ago. But this elder that suddenly appeared seemed to have an unusual relationship with her.
There was no need for Zhang Xiaoman to ask, as the Purple-clothed Elder introduced himself willingly.
"Boy, I know you’re curious about who I am. Let me tell you, I gave her that Mortal Bottle. I am her father, the Clan Leader of the Purple Charm Clan, Zi Kuang."
"Zi Kuang... what an edgy name..."
Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help but mentally comment.
But it seemed this Purple-clothed Elder had a temper similar to the Golden Dragon Elder, somewhat cranky. Since he was Ziwei’s father, he likely wasn’t Zhang Xiaoman’s enemy.
"Senior, you’re her father? How old are you...?"
"Haha, boy, you dare ask an old man his age right away? You’re the first to do so. I understand what you’re thinking. My Purple Charm Clan has a low fertility rate and few members; having offspring is extremely rare, so let’s not fuss about age. By the way, I also have a question for you. What did that girl say to you when she saw you? Has she never mentioned me?"
Zhang Xiaoman shook his head.
"No, she said she was an orphan, that her parents died when she was young."
Ziwei momentarily froze, his expression visibly deflated.
"Is that so... She really said that... Seems she still hasn’t forgiven me... If she had, why would she keep avoiding me every day..."
His mood dropped significantly, his hair drooped, mirroring Ziwei’s appearance exactly.
Zhang Xiaoman, seeing his expression, guessed something unpleasant had occurred between the father and daughter, leading to a falling out. Still, it was not something he needed to concern himself with; if he was curious, he could always ask Ziwei later.
Noticing Zhang’s silence, Zi Kuang had a multitude of words pent-up with no outlet, and after a long pause, sighed and handed back the Mortal Bottle.
"Boy, I have an unreasonable request..."
Zhang Xiaoman, anticipating what Zi Kuang would say, quickly interjected:
"If it’s an unreasonable request, then please, Senior, don’t make things difficult for me."
Zi Kuang glared.
"Boy! I haven’t even said my request, yet you refuse already?!"
The onlookers, seeing this, silently broke into a cold sweat, admiring Ji Xing’s courage to talk like that to Zi Kuang, the Honorable, directly refusing him. If it were anyone else and an Extraordinary Level powerhouse had a request, they would likely have agreed eagerly. What on earth was Ji Xing thinking?
Lan Qi and his associates breathed a collective sigh of relief.
This kid is truly bold, outright rejecting Zi Kuang the Honorable, which actually plays in their favor. Initially, seeing Ji Xing cozy up to Zi Kuang the Honorable, they feared gaining an Extraordinary Level enemy. Even though Zi Kuang might not attack their family, if he did intend to protect Ji Xing, they would have been powerless.
However, while they feared Zi Kuang, Zhang Xiaoman was entirely unafraid. Firstly, he had Unlimited Teleportation and the Little Golden Man as trump cards; no one could stop him from leaving. Secondly, his strength was already at the Fake Transcendent Level, far surpassing those at the Control Level, allowing him to genuinely engage with the Extraordinary Domain, a world apart, granting him the right to converse with an Extraordinary Level individual.
Don’t underestimate this slight gap, as most of the time, it’s a threshold countless people can’t cross in a lifetime.
