Chapter 189: Identity Revealed
After dealing with Jian Moxie, he throws out the terrified disciples of the Extreme Martial Sect as well, after doing so, trying to return to cultivation again but was interrupted by an old man's voice.
{That was vicious, but I like the way you dealt with the problem, boy} the old voice said with a hint of pride and approval in his tone, the sound and tone of the being unfamiliar to Wu Xiaotian, yet a name appears in his mind the moment he heard the voice speak.
{Are you senior Xingtian?} he asks with confidence in his voice, thinking that there's no one else who would talk to him with such secrecy other than the four old masters of the Heavenly Secret Tower, and this voice is the only one unfamiliar to him as he already heard the other three.
{Good deduction boy, but you can drop the senior, you can just call me elder Xingtian or old man Xingtian just like how Xian'er calls me, you're couples after all…} the old voice replied with some teasing tone in his voice, seemingly already in the know of the things happening to her granddaughter's life.
{Ahahaha, then I'll call you elder Xingtian, in that case. What is with the way I dealt with the situation again elder?} Wu Xiaotian asks as he wonders why the old man praises his work when he thought that this is nothing out of the ordinary at all, after all, he also believes that being merciful to your enemy is being ruthless to yourself.
{The way you dealt with them is extremely fitting to the place I am traversing, I hope that you can grow fast so you can accompany me there} Hua Xingtian replied with anticipation in his face, the young man he is talking to clearly deducing that wherever it is that he's talking about, it is definitely outside the Sky Soul Star given the old man's cultivation.
{I'll try my best to catch up fast then} Wu Xiaotian said, causing the old man to laugh for some unknown reason, the hearty laughter lasting for a while before they proceed talking again, mainly introducing themselves to each other and talking a bit more about his and Hua Xian'er's future as well, the old grandfather expressing his satisfaction as they finished the mundane conversations.
{Anyway, don't worry about the threats of other forces, I will personally talk with them the moment the Golden Spirit Pool close, so you can rest assured when travelling outside} Hua Xingtian said confidently, prompting the immortal-like young man to smile as he replies.
{Thank you for your help, elder Xingtian} he expresses his gratitude as he looks at the void and nods his head, surprising not only Hua Xingtian but also his brothers watching alongside him.
{Don't mention it, this much is something that us old men must do for the future powerhouses of the planet like you and that half-sister of yours} Hua Xingtian answered, trying to hide the surprise in his tone as he speaks.
{Oh, and also, be a bit more careful and lenient, all the thing happening inside is being broadcast… what did Jingxian call it… oh right! In a giant phone apparently, I don't know what he's talking about, but it sounds like that} the old man added, causing Wu Xiaotian to be stupefied for a bit, feeling like everything just spiraled out of proportion out of his awareness.
'Forget it, I already decided to show what I'm capable of, I'll deal with whatever come in my way due to this' he decisively thought in his mind, his appearance that of someone that already starts considering everything he's aware of.
Meanwhile in the void, the four old men already starts recovering from the shock they had one they are made aware that Wu Xiaotian can at the very least, sense their existence in this location, their still surprised self already starting to discuss among each other.
"Did he just…" being the most observant among the four, Hua Xuantian asked, his words interrupted by the strongest among them.
"There's no doubt about it" Hua Xingtian replies with an entertained smile on his face.
"Then that means that he has affinity with space" Hua Yingtian said as he plays with his beard.
"That is only normal, otherwise, how can he just come in and out of the tower, even bringing his mother and grandmothers with him?" Hua Lingtian said as he takes a sip of alcohol from his flask before sighing in satisfaction.
"But the fact that he openly shows it to us means that he's starting to trust us more now" Hua Xuantian shares his insight, making his brothers nod in agreement with his words.

"Wu Xiaotian…"
"So Su Tian is just an alias?"
"Why does it feel like I heard that name already?"
"Yeah, that sounds familiar"
"Coupled with how the little lady of the Extreme Martial Sect address him, could it be…"
"No way, right? Some news about him spreads after a few weeks of that incident"
Given enough clues, even idiots can deduce things, the exact proof being the audience starting to get closer and closer into the mysterious genius Su Tian's true identity. Not to say that they are idiots but still, the fact that they can only deduce his identity after all the interactions he had with his sister is quite impressive in its own different way.
"What the hell happened then? It doesn't match!! After all, if Su Tian is truly the exiled child of the current Extreme Martial Sect's Sect Master, then he's supposed to be just about the same age as Wu Xiaoyao, look! Does he look like a fifteen-year-old guy?"
"Now that you look at him, his face seems to be young despite his figure, it is only his serious look that makes him appear mature"
"T-then, does it really mean that…"
As they approach closer and closer to the truth, the crowd pretty much confirmed in their minds that Su Tian is Wu Xiaotian, the rumored dead descendant of the Sect Master of the Extreme Martial Sect, a genius that is according to the rumors leaked by spies from records of the Extreme Martial Sect, has attained an illogical amount of starlight motes during his initial cultivation, surpassing the known limit and possessing a total of one-hundred and eight starlight motes.
"That makes sense now, someone of that caliber is bound to be abnormally strong"
"But, would surpassing the limit by eight starlight motes really bring about such effect?"
"Don't ask me, he's the only one who managed to surpass that limit so he should be the only one who knows"
"Why does he get exiled despite all that talent though?"
"Who knows what's in the mind of those crazy people? Just let them be"
While the people converse about whatever caused the incidents from two years ago and how the center of that incident grows up into such degree from that short amount of time, Wu Xiaoyao's mother, the gorgeous mature woman with golden pupils looks at the giant screen, her mind whirring with thoughts as she wonders why the immortal-like young man, her step-son, acts like that, her entire being concerned for her daughter and him.
