Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 23 The face of the past

After figuring out that Xia did not resent the emperor, Xi Yeming no longer asked her to learn to refine curse potions, and instead asked her to refine universal healing potions.

In the middle of the night, Xi Yeming sat at the table and meditated. He recalled the day Kilgoed College was invaded by the magical world. A coalition of several countries burned, killed and looted at the border of the world, including the troops of the Gilgoed Empire.

Xi Yeming was extremely resentful of the emperor. He believed that the emperor could abandon himself as a child for the sake of the throne, and also ordered to participate in the war to invade the junction of the worlds. Moreover, Roxas was still alive because of his decision. Otherwise, the Holy Will of the previous generation and Many people in Kilgaed would never have been killed.

"Emperor...!" Xi Yeming clenched his fists. He was unwilling to suppress the anger in his heart. When he met the emperor, he would definitely raise his knife to question him.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Xi Yeming asked cautiously: "Who?"

"It's me, dad." Binet's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing that it was Binay, Xi Yeming stood up and opened the door, and Binay got in through the crack in the door.

"What's the matter? Binet, you're still up late at night. Where is Cosette?"

Binet sat down on Xi Yeming's bed and replied: "Sister Cosette has gone to bed, and I sneaked out on my own."

"Do you have anything to say to me for staying up so late?" Xi Yeming did not chase Bina away, but instead started chatting with her.

"Actually, there is something that I care about very much. I don't know if I should tell my father..."

"Whatever it is, just say it doesn't matter."

Binay hesitated and said: "Dad, have you gotten too close to the Second Princess recently...?"

After hearing this, Xi Yeming blinked his eyes first, and then thought quickly. Cosette and Binet should have noticed that he was indeed paying too much attention to West Asia.

"Binet, daddy wants to tell you something, please don't tell anyone."

Binay nodded, indicating that she would not tell anyone.

Xi Yeming slowly told the shocking fact: "Actually, dad and Xia are really brothers and sisters."

"Hey, dad and Sia are really siblings?"

"Yeah." Xi Yeming nodded.

Binai couldn't understand what Xi Yeming said at once, and asked: "But, isn't dad from another world?"

"That's true, but dad was raised by his adoptive mother."

Hearing that Xi Yeming was not raised by his biological parents, Bi Nai seemed to see something in his little eyes.

"Dad's adoptive mother told all about dad's life experience before she died. Later, dad came to the magical world to find out everything."

As he spoke, Xi Yeming touched Binay's head, thinking about what his mother would be thinking when she touched her head.

"Then why did dad come to find his family again? Aren't you free by yourself?"

"Freedom..." Xi Yeming looked up at the ceiling, "People always get tired of that feeling after freedom and look for some rules and regulations to regulate their actions and feelings. Maybe my father is pursuing the kind of unfreedom that satisfies the heart. Well, this is also a kind of freedom.”

Binai carefully remembered what Xi Yeming said, and finally asked: "Dad, do you care that Binai is not your real daughter?"

Xi Yeming was a little surprised by this question. Just when he didn't know how to answer, the face of his adoptive mother appeared in his mind, which also made Xi Yeming think of how to answer Binay's question.

"Ah, it would be a lie to say you don't care."

Binai's young heart was greatly hurt. She really thought that Xi Yeming would abandon her because she was not a real daughter, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"But," Xi Yeming placed his palm on Binai's head again, "Binai will always be a unique daughter in my heart."

Binet asked excitedly with tears in his eyes: "Really?"

Seeing Binai's happy expression, Xi Yeming smiled, nodded, and replied, "Of course, as long as Binai is willing, she will always be my daughter."

"Great!" Binai jumped into Xi Yeming's arms, "I'm so afraid that dad will hate me because I'm not his real daughter, especially since I see how dad has been caring about the princess recently."

"Hehehe, no way." Xi Yeming comforted Binai who was crying with joy in his arms.

"Mom, have I caught up with you?" Xi Yeming thought in his heart, constantly thinking of the days when he lived with his adoptive mother and sisters.

"what--!"

While Xi Yeming was comforting the crying Binay, screams came from Cosette's room next door.

"It's Cosette's sister's voice." Binet heard Cosette's cry and stopped crying.

"Binet, listen to daddy and stay in the house and don't move!" Xi Yeming activated the pre-arranged defensive magic in an instant, and then used the speed seal to move to Cosette's house the next second.

After Xi Yeming teleported to the next room, he saw Cosette in pajamas being entangled in the air by an unknown white thread-like object.

"What is this!" Cosette's limbs were caught by white objects at the joints. "Can someone help me untie it...!"

Seeing Xi Yeming standing aside, Cosette said ecstatically: "Sir, help me quickly!"

"Cosette, close your eyes and don't move." Xi Yeming was not sure what these white objects were, so he quickly took out his death knife and cut off these white objects in the short time that Cosette closed his eyes and didn't notice.

"Whoa!"

Cosette lost her balance and support and fell to the ground. Xi Yeming quickly used wind magic to hug Cosette to avoid causing damage.

"Are you okay?" Xi Yeming asked concerned.

Before Cosette could react, she subconsciously replied: "Yes."

"That's good." Xi Yeming used the divine speed seal to send Cosette into his room.

Cosette fell on Xi Yeming's bed under the influence of the divine speed seal, while Binet watched her.

"Sister Cosette?"

Cosette got up from the bed and called to Xi Yeming helplessly: "My lord, it's really——"

And Xi Yeming picked up the white object that fell on the ground. This familiar thing reminded him of something.

"mushroom?"

Xi Yeming judged that the white object in front of him should be fungi such as mushrooms, but it changed its shape under the influence of magic.

"It can't be..." Xi Yeming shook his head and denied his thoughts, "How is it possible? It's just a coincidence, right?"

Thinking that the target of the intruder might be West Asia, Xi Yeming did not dare to stay any longer. He had to rush to West Asia's room immediately.

Activating the Divine Speed ​​Seal, Xi Yeming walked through the rooms and finally found Xia's figure.
