A Failure's hopeful Journey

Chapter 223: All Set.



Chapter 223: All Set.

You Xi Wang entered Emily's room and saw that she was not asleep but was cultivating. Sensing someone entering her boudoir Emily stood up. You Xi Wang shook his head and spoke, "Sweetheart can you at least be a little more vigilant? Where is your guard?"

Emily smiled and spoke, "Who else will dare to night-raid except you? Also, I have a sword over your head." she pointed to the ceiling. You Xi Wang saw a sword flying overhead. He was surprised and embarrassed. He was the one whose guard was down and not Emily's. He gave her a sheepish smile and said, "Can you put that sword away now, love?"

Emily shook her head and said, "You always get your way with us sisters, Young Master. This is the first time I caught you by the nape. So you will have to pay the price. Now tell me what wind blew you here?"

You Xi Wang did not put up any resistance and said, "I kind of blew up my room so now I need a place to take a shower."

Emily shook her head and pointed to the shower as she said, "The shower is all yours, but you are getting no service tonight." her teasing words made You Xi Wang sigh. This girl was getting more and more daring. He asked with a equally pitiful face, "Why do you use this word, service between each other? Should I stop talking to you?"

Emily stuck out her tongue and said, "No emotional attacks will get you any points today Young Master, red aunt is visiting." she had a smile resting on her face throughout. You Xi Wang came near her and asked, "Are you fine?"

Emily nodded, said, "Yes, it will be fine in a day or two."

You Xi Wang nodded, he raised his hand to check the time and walked to the bathroom as he spoke, "I am going to get ready. We are needed to arrive at the academy early to departure." with that said he entered the bathroom and took a good shower. Then he put on his formal attire. A navy blue buttoned-down shirt paired with a beige coloured trouser. He wore a pair of tan color shoes and waist belt. He trimmed down his stubble beard to zero and went out with a confident step.

When he came out of the shower Emily was gone. A text popped up on his Holo-Phone. 'Going to the training field to practice. Take care of yourself and all the best for the tournament, Xi Wang. (shy emoticon)' 

You Xi Wang shook his head and headed out to catch his sister. You Zhichi was surrounded by the army of the little devils who asked her for hugs and kisses. You Xi Wang smiled at the scene and spoke, "You little rascals, what are you doing up so early. Go wet a diaper or cry for food."

All the kids turned their heads to face him and Lily spoke, "Xixi, we aren't like you. Crying and wearing daipers at 5. Don't you underestimate us. Humph." the eyes of the little girl were totally looking down on him. You Zhichi covered her mouth as to not laugh at her brother. You Xi Wang did not mind the kids and he spoke, "Ohh... so you guys have grown up?"

The kids nodded in Unisson and You Xi Wang spoke in a sonorous voice echoing throughout the mansion, "You family listen to the decree."

The mansion echoed, "YES, YOUNG MASTER"

You Xi Wang grinned slyly at the kids and spoke, "The kids above five years in age, are from now on grown-ups. As a test, they will not be given an candies, sweets, toys to play and no allowance for a month. The previous credits are also to be retracted. Anyone found in violation will be punished by the family law code."

The whole scene was silence then You Xi Wang issued a telepathic message, "I am messing with the kids, play along."

The mansion echoed again, "Decree will be obeyed.

The kids stood like stones. They immediately started fussing about it. Some of them even started crying. Two of them even laid down on the floor and started rolling as they crowd. YOu Xi Wang held back the laughter, recorded the whole scene as the two rolling cry babies were none other than, Lily and Celestia. The leaders of the alliance were the most dramatic. 

You Zhichi was a soft-hearted person and she spoke, "Okay, gougou, you grow up. They are kids." her tone was helpless. After all, she knew her brother was an even bigger kid than the little ones. You Xi Wang finally could not help but snickered and started laughing loud. He held his stomach and said, "Okay, brats, I was messing with you. Now you know that you are still kids."

The kids were stupefied, They all stood up and rushed towards You Xi Wang. Soon You Xi Wang was drowned in the flood of the little monsters. You Zhichi helped him by scaring the children that they will be punished for messing with the Master of the family. Only then did the tide reside, revealing a mess of You Xi Wang. 

The hair were scattered and the clothes were mess. You Zhichi picked up her pretending to be dead brother up and they walked to the parking. This time there was no see off needed as the elders of the family would be invited to visit the location where the battle fest is held. You Xi Wang Drove his vehicle to the school. They were the first to arrive and they met Adonis at the gates. After they waited for half an hour the others arrived. They all chatted with You Zhichi but You Xi Wang was ignored other than the third year swordsman.

Adonis spoke at this moment, "I will now tell you guys something. You better not lower your guard during the competition. The council is on the move. It is suspected that the dark side is planning something big during this the battle fest."

The team nodded and their expressions became solemn. Adonis spoke, "Also, try your best to advance but never be desperate. That will only bring you death and not fame and prestige. Always be focused and never let the opponent disturb you mental tranquility."

The team nodded again. I mean at least half of them were the people who were among the kind that disturbs other. So they understood the meaning of the instructor. Adonis spoke, "Two final things. First, the prize for winning the contest is to be promoted as a sixth level council official working directly under, Elder Achilles. The winner will be posted at the forefront against the dark side." this sentence made them all suck in a deep breath. They were excited and anxious at the same time. 

Adonis, continued speaking after a pause, "Second, always listen to your captain, You Xi Wang. And if anyone is found to be in violation will be disqualified from the team effective immediately." then he turned to face You Xi Wang, said, "You address them one more time before the ship arrives."

You Xi Wang nodded and stood in front of the team, he spoke in a calm tone, "We are now a team, stick together and we advance. Be defiant, I will lose the dead weight. Do you want to be defiant? The ring is the place where you defy your opponent. Outside the ring, you will not be chirping as I don't want to attract attention and some of you are very good at that. Remember, if you judged someone based on their looks and strength, you will be nothing but just a bunch of cowards. So be low-key and save yourself some humiliation and disqualification. Clear? Even if it is not clear, I don't care, just like you don't."

The teams all had solemn faces. They did not expect You Xi wang to act like this. Then the boy spoke, "The world is very big, just like you people, their might be others, some will be lower than you while some will be better. So be humble but don't bend and be confident just don't offend anyone."

When he was done speaking You Zhichi came over and she spoke to the people in front of her. Her demeanor was softer than You Xi Wang but her eyes were colder. The people in the team understood, Defying the captain would make the vice-captain angry. This anger was not something they wanted to face. The heavenly maiden will be no lesser to a demoness if she is angry.

You Xi Wang did not say anything and nodded in agreement as he read the minds of the people in front of him. Yeah, you read that right this son of a gun has touched the surface of mind reading from the notes of The mentalist. He made sure that these people followed his lead otherwise the world right crush them brutally. You Xi Wang had no mood of losing the game.
