《Black Ice》Chapter 11
Advertisement
Two guards where talking to eachother as a child walk towards them. Surprised that such a small smile would come to them, they looked at it carefuly. It clothes looked disheveled and old. It looked like it had a tough experience getting here.
It's hair was jet black, a small mole located on the top right of his right chick. However what made them amazed where its eyes. Pitch Black eyes filled with nothing but darkness. It's eyes made the whole world stop. They both took a deep breath as they focused on the situation. The child got closer as it opened its mouth.
"Umm, may i ask where i can find the Bing clan Patriarch?" Said the child with a blush.
The Two Guards look at it eachother in awkward silence. After a while they started laughing while shaking their heads. Although this child was unique, its appearance and status seems way too low to meet the branch patriarch.
On of the guards went ahead and tried to stop himself from laughing. "Child did you get lost? Do you need us to find your parents?" He said.
The child's expression darkened, it eyes becoming all teary. The guards expression changed. He didn't expect just a few words from him would make the child almost cry.
The second guard went close and patted the child. "what's you're name? what's wrong? Did something happen?" He said. He noticed that when the first guard mentioned his parent's the child seemed to get sader.
The child calmed down and nodded. "My name is Heise Bing. My dad told me to come here and give this neckless to the Patriarch."
After hearing the childs name and seeing the neckless their faces changed. One of them took out a communication crystal, instantly connecting with the Patriarch. There was a rule on the clan. No one were to disturb the Patriarch, unless it was an emergency. However this situation was indeed an emergency. The Crystal neckless is the signature of a branch patriarch of the bing clan. Taking this information and the childs name, they put the Two together, realizing that things weren't that simple.
A handsomely devilish man was sitting while talking to a young woman. He had Bright blue eyes with long blond hair. A small mole could be seen under his left eye. He was wearing a well made white suit, a smile covering his face. On the other hand the woman had Red hair and red eye's like fire. Her dress showed how rich she was. A group of people that was behind the woman joined their conversation once in a while.

A ring rang out of the sudden silencing the entire room. The handsome man pulled out a communication crystal out of his pocket. A communication crystal is like a phone, however it works with Heavenly energy and has no menu. The only thing one needs to do is connect through the Heavenly energy, so a sound message could be transfered on the other side.
"What's the matter?" Asked the handsome man with annoyed tone.
The guard on the other side took a big breath and calmed himself down. Not wasting any time he started speaking " Well Patriarch, a child named Heise Bing has come and is requesting an audience with you!"
"So you called me, interupting me for a child that has our surname?" Said the handsome man with a grim voice.
The guard trembled, stuttering the words from his mouth " w- well.. Patriarch... the childs holds your insignia..."
"Huh?! My insignia you say?! Im commig right now, tell me your location!" The Handsome man got up instantly, as a worried expression appeared on his face.
"We are on the Main entrance of the city.." Said the guard..
"Im coming right now!" Said the handsome man, closing the call. A chill spreading in the area..
He left the room in a hurry, the red haired woman and the other people following behind him.
Back on the gate
"Tha patriarch seems to be coming... You should better come inside, he should be here in a few minutes." The second guard said with a sigh.
This situation was too weird for them. A child coming out of nowhere and asking for their patriarch with his insignia.
After going inside the walls, a nice room could be seen. It looked modern, with floating lights everywhere. In this world Heavenly energy was the main source of energy and the easier at that, since everyone could use it. Heise learned from books that civilization on this planet has been going on for a few million years, however most of the time on the planet was spend on war between races. Many races such as the phoenix and the pegasus. On the other hand races such as the Vampires and ghouls have problems with breeding which has restricted their races development.
After sitting down, he was served food and a cup of water. After eating the news that the clan Patriarch had arrived got to their ears. All of the guards opened way, the mortals as well. Respect could be seen on their face. The Patriarchs of a clan are honored people, since they protect the city and help it prosper.

The patriarch came inside the waiting hall. Once he entered he got redirected into private room, where he found a small child. Its clothes looked battered and dirtied, however this didn't hid its strikingly cute face. it looked like a porcelain doll, a small was located under its right eye as well. This added a more charm to its face. But what shocked him the most weren't its beautiful features but rather its big black eyes... eyes that looked like they could stop the universe once they closed. After looking around the child for a while he noticed a neckless on its hands. His face changed to an unpleasant one.
On the other hand heise was really surprised by the patriarch's appearance. He looked too young To be the Branch Clan Patriarch. The first impressions he had from him was that his face looked familiar, as if he was looking at a close one, however he couldn't really put his finger on it.
The Patriarch Walked close the child with a smile and asked." Heise Can i look at the Neckless for a bit?"
Heise nodded as he handed the neckless " Father told me to give to you anyways.." He said after giving it.
The patriarch's expression turned even more sour.
After clicking the crystal, the hologram of Leng appeared. The Same voice message played. The patriarch's expression changed for the worst. His eyes got all teary, regret could be seen in his eyes. After the message finished, he whipped his tears, as determined expression appeared on his face. Turning around he looked at Heise with a caring gaze. Heise felt a shiver run down his spine from that look and he didn't know why. The red haired woman was walked in with the group of people behind her. The guards were really respectful infront of her as well, as much as they were to their patriarch.
The Handsome man walked close to heise with a wide smile. Getting close and closer. Heise felt uneasy from the situation. He didn't know what the man was thinking. The man in a flash grabbed Heise in his arms, as he played with him as if he was his child. Grabbing his cheeks, squishing them. Throwing him in the air like a baby, etc. Heise's face was filled with confusion... [Do i know this guy?] he thought.
The guards along with the woman's group were stupified by the situation. The Branch Patriarch of the Bing Clan was actually playing with a kid he had never met ? This situation was too bazar.
The man noticed Heise's confused expression as he frowned. He put him down and scolded him.
" Is this how you treat your Grandfather? Aren't you supposed to be happy? Your father didn't teach you about basic etiquette?"
Heise Became stupified. This young man was his Grandfather? This sutation made no sense in his mind.
The Red haired woman, after hearing those words put the puzzle pieces together, instantly figuring out the situation.
"So Wuzu, you old bastard, you actually had a grandson and you didn't tell anyone?" She said with a sarcastic smile.
The Man's expression Darkened, as a supressing aura appeared from his body.
" Laura Don't intervine with my matters... We will talk about this later." He said with a chilling tone.
"What can i do about you. No wonder they call you the Ice Demon Wuzu..." She said while laughing.
He looked at her with a gaze that could freeze ones mind, making her stop laughing as she regained her cool.
He turned around at heise, that still looked confused. " Heise don't worry, even though Leng and Zhiming aren't here, you still have family in this world. Don't Let it Weigh you down, be strong." He said with a serious expression, a tear dripping from his eye. He knew the culprits behind the attack and he easily understood the situation.
After all he was Leng's father, he knew his son too well. He knew that he would rather die himself than bring harm to his clan.
Noticing that Heise still looked confused, he understood.
"So you dont believe im your grandfather, becuase of my appearance?" He said with a laugh.
Heise nodded. He couldn't believe that someone that looked around his dad's age was his grandfather. Wuzu nodded and smiled.
" Well You see, once one reaches the Godly Hand level, he gains 1000 more years to his lifespan, thanks to that your appearance changes to a younger version of yourself." He said.
Heise's mind shook from the information. A thousand years? Isn't that long? What if someone reaches the higher realms? Wouldn't he be immortal at the peak? He couldn't help but get warned by this information. He remembered the Old village chief. He was a tittled godly hand, however He did hear he was sealed. Just how old was the village chief?
