Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability

Chapter 1796: Chapter 1796: Should be surnamed Wan, right?

…

“Then, I shall return first.”

Having returned to the momentarily halted grand hall, Xie Qi pointed towards his own room and spoke up to Wan Yu.

“Mmm.”

Wan Yu also nodded in agreement.

The recent meal had put Wan Yan’s questions to the test, and honestly, he treated them as if he hadn’t heard them at all. However, Xie Qi must have played a part in that, blocking quite a few questions for him.

This Wan Yan, you could say he was clever, but he dared to ask all sorts of questions, appropriate or not.

After he received Xie Qi’s words, he returned to his room, only to find upon entering that two elders had set their sights on him.

“What are you doing?”

He was startled for a moment before walking over and sitting down at the table.

“Young Sect Master, you haven’t offended Wan Yan, have you?” the Ninth Elder asked.

“Offended him?”

Xie Qi let out a scoff.

“How could I offend him? At most, I made him think I was foolish enough.”

He didn’t even want to consider the nature of his questions, probing into one’s background, like where Qian Jiyun resided at Huayan Peak, which place An Jiuyue came from, and who Wan Yu was.

However, thinking about it made him laugh; up to now, he didn’t even know Wan Yu’s name, referring to him only as ‘young master’.

But then…

His gaze shifted slightly as he thought about an incident that had occurred in the Thousands of Demons Sect years ago. It seemed…

“Fifth Elder, does Sect Master Wan have only one son, Wan Yan?” he asked.

“Isn’t that so?”

After giving it some thought, the fifth elder shook his head.

“Isn’t there talk that Sect Master Wan had an illegitimate child who, a few years ago, was pursued and seemingly perished, of whom there has been no news these past years?”

This was not exactly a secret because the illegitimate child’s mother hailed from the Righteous Sects. Thus, no one in the Demon Sect liked such a Young Sect Master, no matter how talented he was.

“What was his name?” Xie Qi inquired.

“I don’t know.”

The fifth elder shook his head, and Xie Qi turned to the Ninth Elder, who also shook his head.

They never cared about the affairs of the righteous factions, only about wielding their swords in battle.

How could they possibly inquire about the name of such an illegitimate child? After all, even Sect Master Wan himself had sent people to eliminate such a person, hadn’t he?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“But he should have the last name Wan, right?” the Ninth Elder said, touching his chin thoughtfully.

Otherwise, how could he have entered the Thousands of Demons Sect? Although it wasn’t for long, he did enter after all.

Hearing this, Xie Qi’s gaze flickered.

A Wan surname? Wan Yu, the attendant of Qian Jiyun, had the surname Wan. And he had noticed earlier that Wan Yan paid special attention to Wan Yu, repeatedly casting his gaze upon him.

As practitioners of evil techniques, their instincts were highly sensitive; perhaps he felt that Wan Yu was that familiar person?

“This really is getting interesting.”

He touched his chin, finding the situation increasingly intriguing.

If Wan Yu truly was the Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect’s illegitimate child, then this would be tremendously fascinating. An illegitimate child who became an inter-plane traveler’s attendant held a much different status.

Rising tides lift all boats. If he revealed his identity, even Sect Master Wan wouldn’t dare to treat him the same way, would he?

“If he wants the position of Young Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect, heh.” As he thought about it, he found it amusing.

“Young Sect Master, what are you talking about?”

The fifth elder asked, sounding somewhat bewildered by his words.

Who wanted the position of Young Sect Master of the Thousands of Demons Sect? Since Sect Master Wan had only Wan Yan as his son, who else could contend with Wan Yan for the position of Young Sect Master?
