Floating Immortal Order

d he simply looked back at Jin Yu with his pair of unfocused beady black eyes, not crying or making any fuss whatsoever.

But as Xu Disheng stared back at the young woman, his mind was desperately trying to remember.
Who am I, really? Why am I an infant now? I only remember that my name is Xu Disheng, and that I was reincarnated.
But how do I know that I was reincarnated?

The more he thought, the more his head hurt.
It seemed as if these were things he used to know, but he couldn’t remember the source of this information in the slightest.

Jin Yu, who was still watching her son, suddenly saw his brows furrow and his expression become pained.
She hurriedly told Mother Xun to cheer the child up, and Mother Xun immediately began to gently rock and cradle the baby in her arms.

In the midst of all this, the doors were pushed open, and a handsome and bright young man walked in, followed by several young married women who were all good-looking in their own ways.
The young man had a happy expression on his face, and the several women behind him had all had a variety of expressions on their faces.

He walked over to the bedside and took a seat, taking Jin Yu’s hand in his own, and said, “Yu’er, take good care of your health, okay? I had someone make you some Spirit Ginseng Soup.
I’ll ask someone to bring it to you later.”

Turning his head to look at the infant in Mother Xun’s arms, he reached out to take the baby into his arms.
After gazing at the infant’s face for a while, he grinned from ear to ear and said, “This child is my eleventh son, and he really resembles me quite a lot.
Today, I will reward each maid with 20 taels3 of silver.”

Looking back at Mother Xun, he continued, “And for Mother Xun, 10 taels of gold.” Every maid bowed in gratitude in reception of their reward.
Mother Xun then silently cast a questioning glance at Jin Yu.

Jin Yu was still in a weakened state, and after looking at the young man and the several women behind him, she opened her mouth and said, “You can take it out.”

” ”

Mother Xun slowly opened her palm, immediately basking the room in a mystical cyan glow.
“When Young Master was born, he didn’t kick or cry, and in his mouth was this cyan jade flute Life Companion Artifact.”

The young man was called Xu Xiao, and he was the eldest son of the first wife of the Patriarch of the Xu Clan.
He held the position of the young master of the family, governing the Zhenhai Province with hundreds of martial artist troops under his command.
His authority was enormous.
When he heard this news, he immediately put away his frivolous attitude.
He picked up the small, delicate green jade flute and examined it closely with a solemn expression on his face.

His expression became more and more solemn, and he put away the jade flute before inquiring flatly, “Where is the Zhenhai Army?”

A light breeze swept throughout the room, and two black-armored men appeared, who immediately knelt on the ground.
“Zhenhai Army Commander, Xiang Nan, reporting in,” one of them stated, cupping his hands in greeting.

“Zhenhai Vice Army Commander, Xu Cheng, reporting in,” said the other.

Xu Xiao looked around at the maids and servants, then ordered in a neutral tone, “Remove all maids, guards, and servants from Lady Yu’s residence and arrange for a new batch!”

““We respectfully obey Young Patriarch’s command!””

Xiang Nan rose to his feet and cast a chilly gaze at the maids and the guards outside the room.
“The Zhenhai Army respectfully obeys.
Take them away!”

A group of black-armored martial artists rushed in from outside the Rain Listening Pavilion and rounded up all of the maids and guards.
Each of them had a pale expression, and they trembled nervously, not even daring to utter the slightest sound.
They didn’t dare to resist, for they had seen something they shouldn’t have.
If they tried to resist, they would bring disaster upon their family and relatives, and there was no room for negotiation.

This was the reality of the feudal system.
The Xu Clan was in charge of the whole county and the cities and towns inside it, and to the ordinary citizens who lived within, their word was law.

“No one is allowed to disclose this matter, otherwise I will execute whoever is involved, including the previous three generations of their family!” Xu Xiao declared sternly to the women behind him and the remaining people in the room with a cold and serious expression on his face.

““Yes, Young Patriarch!””
“Yes, husband!”

Xu Xiao held Xu Disheng in his arms, then shared a look with Jin Yu, who was on the bed.
When they made eye contact, he nodded his head slightly and stood up.
He waved his sleeves and said, “You can all go back now.
Xu Cheng, bring 50 Zhenhai Army Warriors to accompany me to the ancestral domain to see Father.”

“I respectfully obey Young Patriarch’s command!” Xu Cheng said deferentially.

Before Xu Xiao left the room, he turned his head slightly.
“Mother Xun, please take good care of Yu’er.”

Mother Xun bowed her head in response and took another look at the baby in Xu Xiao’s arms, but his eyes were already closed.

At the moment, Xu Disheng was only an infant, and he was too weak.
For the entire time, he was thinking and racking his brains nonstop.
He was already physically and mentally spent, and he couldn’t help but fall into a deep slumber.
