The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 238 Treating the Wound_1

"Since no one has any objections, it means everyone agrees," Situ Xin paused deliberately before continuing, "Since no one has any problems with it, then it’s settled. Alright, it’s getting late; let’s disperse and go have lunch."

Situ Xin’s words left Xiang Yang and the others dumbfounded. They had been waiting for Situ Xin to say a few words, but instead, she told them to go have lunch.

Seeing everyone’s ’what are you talking about’ expressions, Situ Xin couldn’t help but show a genuine smile. This smile dazzled those from The Dark Division fiercely; they had never seen such a beautiful smile before. Watching her smile, their previous displeasures dissipated bit by bit.

Realizing the effect of her smile, Situ Xin quickly restrained it. Initially, after her advancement, she hadn’t noticed anything unusual about herself. Even Baibai, at the beginning, was preoccupied with the changes after the space’s upgrade and didn’t pay attention to Situ Xin’s transformation.

It wasn’t until they had finished exploring the space and were ready to leave that Baibai noticed something different about Situ Xin.

Situ Xin had become even more beautiful. Although her overall appearance hadn’t changed, her already delicate features were now even more refined—as if one more would be too much, and one less would be too few.

Somehow, Situ Xin exuded an enchanting aura. Her every move and smile seemed to deeply affect those around her. Anyone who locked eyes with her would be captivated by her gaze.

Even Baibai was almost enchanted by Situ Xin’s smile. Fortunately, with its considerable cultivation level, it quickly recovered.

When Baibai told Situ Xin about it, she didn’t believe it and ran to the bedroom in the villa to look in the mirror. She was shocked when she saw her own reflection.

She didn’t know whether to describe herself as devastatingly beautiful or a beauty that could bring disaster. To be honest, Situ Xin didn’t want to be so strikingly attractive. Historically, those who were exceptionally beautiful, especially those with devastating beauty, seldom met happy ends.

Being too dazzling sometimes was not a good thing, and it could be inconvenient for some of the things she needed to do. She didn’t want to become the center of attention every time she went out.

Now, seeing her changed appearance and the transformative aura about her, Situ Xin asked Baibai if there was a way to cover up her captivating aura and to conceal her devastating beauty.

Baibai shook its head, indicating it was powerless to help. Eventually, Situ Xin found a method on the Jade Token in her mind and controlled the Spiritual Energy to prevent others from seeing her true appearance.

However, when Situ Xin was healing Xiang Yang’s internal injuries, the excessive use of Spiritual Energy inside her body meant she no longer had enough to maintain the energy masking her appearance, revealing her true look.

Sensing something was off, Situ Xin quickly recited the incantation silently and summoned the Spiritual Energy inside her. After everything was done, she let out a deep breath. Then, grabbing the stunned Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, who were still gazing at her absentmindedly, she said to Xiang Yang, Wu Qing, and the others behind her, "Tomorrow, you guys come over to my house to find me, and bring the files that need to be handed over with you."

Afterwards, without bothering about how others reacted, Situ Xin pulled her grandfather and grandfather-in-law and headed out of the training grounds. As they walked, she called out to the still dazed Old Deng, "Grandpa Deng, I know you still have unfinished business, so I won’t wait for you. Grandpa and Opa and I will head back first. Visit us at our house when you have the time."

By the time Old Deng and the others snapped back to reality, Situ Xin, Old Master Situ, and Old Master Loo had already completely left the training grounds.

Fortunately, they still faintly remembered the words Situ Xin said as she left.

Old Deng, looking at the empty training ground’s gate, couldn’t help muttering, "Xiao Xin is getting bolder and bolder, daring to leave me behind like that."

After mumbling, Old Deng turned to Xiang Yang and the others, "What are you all still standing here for? Go about your business." Then he added, "Remember, Situ Xin is now the Leader of The Dark Division." Saying this, he quickly left the training grounds.

Xiao Family Courtyard

When Xiao Muli arrived at the Xiao Family Courtyard, he joined Old Master Xiao’s grandson, also the current Family Head, Xiao Li, in the program for cultivating the next Family Head.

The competition for the position of Patriarch Xiao was open to anyone in the Xiao family line with genuine talent. But while this system still existed, due to the influence of Elder Master Xiao’s family within the clan, nobody else dared enter the competition, despite their desires.

Xiao Muli’s arrival caused the members of the main Xiao line to become restless. While they didn’t send their children to the main house for the culturing program like Old Master Xiao, they started to secretly seek tutelage for the children eligible to compete for the Patriarch’s position.

The moves of these main line members, although clandestine, had long reached the ears of the current family head of the Xiao family.

Somehow, news of Xiao Muli’s return to the Xiao family to compete for the position of Family Head got out. When the current Family Head’s wife, Jin Meixia, went out for tea and chats with other high-society ladies, they asked her, "Meixia, I heard something about a Xiao Muli who appeared in your family to compete with Xiao Li for the position of Family Head?"

"Yes, I’ve heard about it too," another person chimed in.

"Meixia, let me tell you, this is a big deal. If that Xiao Muli replaces your son as Patriarch Xiao, it will be tough for your whole family to stand in the Xiao family," they warned.
