'But all of this is just my guess. I don't know if this is true or not. But this is a great opportunity in disguise to test it. Anyway, if what I thought is true and they don't find anything regarding me, then it will change many plans I have for the future. Anyway, even if not, then I will just deal with it. No matter what, even if I am not the Xiao they know, they won't just kill me outright, right???'
Even though he was thinking all of this and strategizing in his mind, on the outside his expression remained calm, as though whatever was happening right now did not bother him in any way at all.
A few moments later, as though they were done communicating whatever they were discussing between themselves, Rose looked at him with her bright pink eyes.
Her expression was cheerful and gentle as she smiled slightly, making the whole room light up. Anyone who looked at her would feel a strong instinct to protect her.
She spoke.
"We understand, little brother. But what you told us is very suspicious and important to let go just like that. So let me see if I can find something about it or if there is any hidden danger left behind in your body."
Elizabeth nodded.
"She's right. Let her check your condition using her Divine Sense to see if we can find anything or some clue regarding your condition. Even if we find only a small thing, then that is enough. Anyway, even if we don't, then we can just ask Mother for help about it. And if we do find something, then that will help Mother gather more information about it. Anyway, her cultivation is higher than ours, so there's a great possibility that she might be able to find something."
Xiao calmly listened to them, and after that, he spoke.
"Okay, sisters. I trust your judgment. I hope that you might be able to help me find out more about this strange and bizarre thing that happened to me."
Compared to before, Xiao was much more confident and optimistic about this. After thinking about it calmly, he realized this was actually a very good opportunity to test the capabilities of Void Record. From the events that would happen next.
it would help him decide how he should plan his next steps in the future. So many things would depend on whether Rose would be able to find any information about him and the Void Record.
Hearing his response, both Rose and Elizabeth smiled as they nodded in satisfaction.
"Yeah! That's my brother. Don't worry, little brother. It won't hurt!"
"As expected, just like always. Xiao'er, you're always this considerate. I am really proud of you."
Hearing their praise, Xiao almost rolled his eyes.
'Who are you trying to sugarcoat, huh? But damn, hearing praise does feel slightly good. Is that why those arrogant young masters like it when those bootlickers stroke their balls? Wait, does that mean I am slowly becoming a typical young master? Dammit, I am not, okay? Never!'
After praising him for a good few minutes, Rose began to explain with a serious expression on her face as she spoke.
"Okay, little brother. I am going to use my Divine Sense. Just stand still like that and don't try to resist. I mean, don't panic. You might feel uncomfortable at first. Well, the entire process is very uncomfortable, and you might feel a deep sense of discomfort and wrongness. But don't worry. Just believe in your sister, and everything will be fine."
She looked at him for confirmation.
"Do you understand what I have said?"
Xiao nodded.
"Yes."
At this moment, Elizabeth spoke.
"Xiao'er, don't feel nervous, okay? We are just checking to ensure that there isn't anything left behind that can harm you or to find any hidden danger. That's all. Just trust your sisters, and it will be fine."
Xiao replied,
"I know, sisters. I believe in you. So let's just get to it."
Elizabeth smiled.
"I am glad that you trust us."
Xiao's eyes twitched slightly.
'After pampering and spoiling your brother this much, your brother would have an IQ comparable to a monkey if he didn't trust you. Dammit, after getting a yandere girlfriend back on Earth, I now happen to have a yandere family who are very proactive and possessive. Truly, my goddamn luck is really, really great. Curse you, damn luck.'
Then Elizabeth looked at Rose as she spoke.
"Okay, Rose. Do it."
"Alright."
Rose looked at Xiao as she spoke.
"Little brother, I am starting. So just stay still and try to be calm."
Then, without saying anything else, she raised her hand, and in the next moment, her hand seemed to light up slightly, causing the entire room to become illuminated by a small margin, making the room appear ethereal and mystical.
Looking at it, Xiao was strangely amazed.
'Damn, is this what a cultivator can do? She's truly wielding spiritual power and doing mystical things. Ah, the room looks truly magical and ethereal.'
But before he could think anything further, the light in Rose's hand instantly enveloped him. At the same time, Xiao felt a strange sense of goosebumps rising on his skin, along with a strange pain that first started from his chest.
Then it reached his head, then his skin, and instantly spread through every corner of his body. Xiao gritted his teeth.
'Dammit, what the hell is this? Why am I feeling pain now? Can't this damned pain at least leave me alone? Also, why am I getting goosebumps right now? Shit... Being openly probed by a higher cultivator's Divine Sense is really not a pleasant experience at all.'
He closed his eyes to better endure the pain and discomfort. To be honest, rather than pain, the discomfort Xiao was feeling right now was far more disturbing. It was as though everything about him had been completely exposed, with nothing left hidden anymore.
At the same time, he felt as though thousands of ants were crawling across his skin. And if he were to describe this correctly, then the most accurate description would be Hundreds of numerous eyes were closely examining everything about him.
from his body to the deepest depths of his existenc. as though Xiao had nothing left hidden anymore. The entire experience was extremely disturbing.
