Transmigration: Children of The Plane

A White Lie

With Big Wang's piloting skills and permission to fly at full speed, the originally 30-hour flight turned into a twenty-five-hour flight.

This time Xue Bai was awake during their arrival, so Big Wang didn't have to wake him up.

After landing outside the Duke Estate, Xue Bai, after being let down from the mount, instantly ran to his room without even responding to the soldiers welcoming him home.

Nothing mattered more than to secure the Celestial Void Fruit. He had only just turned ten a month ago and had to wait almost a whole year to eat it. So he planned to hide it for the year before he could.

After he made it to his courtyard, he activated the protection and noise-canceling array behind him.

"YES! HELL YEA! EAT IT, XIAO MO! WHOSE THE REAL PROTAGONIST!." With no one able to hear his outburst Xue Bai released all the feelings he had held in when he was with the Wang Twins.

Only after his throat ran dry did Xue Bai stop his cheering.

After getting a drink to help his now sore throat, Xue Bai went into his room to hide the fruit.

After a few months of being reincarnated in the Baishen Plane, Xue Bai asked his father to build a safe, as he thought that hiding things under his bed was a little too childish.

The safe was covered in all types of arrays, making it virtually impossible to open with brute force. And according to Xue Feng, it could even take a few blows from someone in the Early Realms of The Xiantian Great Realm.

Though Xue Bai thought it was a little too much for a temporary safe, he still used it to hide his journal and other various things that he didn't want his parents to look at. So after placing the case containing the Celestial Void Fruit in it, Xue Bai locked it up and turned on all the arrays.

Only then did Xue Bai finally sigh in relief. He had been anxious that he was in the timeline after Xiao Mo's rebirth. But thankfully, the timeline seemed to be the first time he was reborn, so none of the chances he stole were fated to be his yet.

This would make the fight between them a lot easier, as he could stop most of the interceptions before they would even meet without fear of a luck backlash. Halting the protagonist's growth by a huge percentage.

As Xue Bai was about to leave his room, his parents walked into his courtyard, both with serious faces.

'I guess the Wang Twins already told them. Now, this is the hard part.' Xue Bai thought to himself.

Xue Bai wasn't stupid enough to think the Wang Twins would keep the past week a secret, so he planned to tell his parents a white lie about his memories. Whether they believed his acting or not was only up to chance.

So taking a deep breath to prepare himself, he walked out of the room to greet his parents.

Xue Feng was the first to speak up, "Bai'er though we know to give you room to grow. The past week was something extremely odd even by your standard."

Li Rou nodded at that, continuing, "We don't need to know what that fruit is, but can you tell us how you know how it would be there? If someone told you, tell us because they could be plotting against both you and us with it."

After gathering his thoughts for a moment, Xue Bai first asked, "Mother, Father, do you guys remember when I fell and woke up doing something really embarrassing around two years ago?"

After seeing them nod, he continued, "While I was unconscious, I got these memories. But I was so confused after receiving them that I was questioning which life was real. That's why I acted so stupid for a while."

Xue Feng, hearing that had a look of enlightenment. 'No Wonder he didn't want to go to the Imperial Physician!'

"But after I sorted them out, I realized that these memories are of the timeline that should happen if I didn't get these memories."

At this point, Xue Bai knew he was saying too much, but his parents would constantly be suspicious of him if he didn't give them something with real substance. So he gambled and pretended to tell the full truth only to be hiding the key detail.

Li Rou and Xue Feng were stunned after hearing that. The two of them had only thought that Xue Bai had only gained the divination of two events. Not the memories of an entire timeline.

"Then Bai'er, what happens in that timeline with us?" Li Rou asked tentatively.

"Nothing actually, we live our life very peacefully. But there's one downside. Apparently, I'm a cripple. So I never awakened my Martial Veins in that timeline."

The first half calmed Li Rou down, but the second half brought back her uneasy feeling.

"But you're so talented at archery and swordsmanship. How could you be a cripple?" Li Rou had visibly become saddened.

Xue Feng stayed silent, wanting to hear the rest of the story.

"No, Mother, it's actually good that I am crippled. If I had inherited my talent from you two, I would at most have a Low Black Grade Martial Vein. But now, I can have something much greater with my memories." Xue Bai consoled.

Though his parents were hurt by hearing such blunt words, they also agreed. Talent was usually inherited. Xue Bai would almost certainly follow in their footsteps for someone with Peak Yellow Grade Martial Veins like theirs.

"Then that fruit that you picked from your memories, what rank Martial Veins would it give you." Xue Feng asked.

Xue Bai lied, "Middle Earth Grade."

However, even Xue Bai's lie made his parent's eyes bulge.

Xue Feng was even more dramatic, grabbing Xue Bai by the shoulders.

"Son, you're not lying to us, right? Our old hearts can't take this."

Rolling his eyes, 'Of course, I am lying to you,' Xue Bai thought.

But he spoke, "When have I ever lied to you two about something this serious?"

"Then why haven't you eaten it already? With talent like that, you could become an Immortal!" Li Rou's eyes, at this point, had almost turned into stars.

"Mother, I would die. I'm not eleven yet. My body couldn't handle the awakening process of the Martial Veins."

Xue Feng smacked Xue Bai on the head after hearing that.

"Then what do you think those medical baths you've been soaking up for the last two years do." Xue Feng spoke angrily.

"They strengthen my physique, but what does that have to do with me being ten still?" Xue Bai spoke through tears. Xue Feng put some strength behind that smack making his head sting.

Frowning at what her husband did, Li Rou grabbed Xue Bai and held him gently, "That is exactly the point, Bai'er. They strengthen your physique. Why do you think some children awaken their Martial Veins at eleven while others can only do so at 15?"

"A talent issue?" Xue Bai guessed.

"No, it's because their bodies aren't strong enough to bear the awakening process. But you have been soaking up in medical herb baths since childhood. Your physical body at this point should be as strong as someone who just reached the Blood Exchange Realm. You're well over the minimum strength to awaken Martial Veins." Li Rou explained.

"Then I can start to cultivate already?" Xue Bai started to look excited.

Xue Bai transmigrated into this world in the last month of the 969th year. And he would turn eleven in mid-973. That would give him a little under a year and a half until all the protagonists would awaken in 975. But if he could start to cultivate almost an entire year in advance in mid-972, he could prepare so much more in advance.

Seeing his parents nod, Xue Bai went into his safe and pulled out the Celestial Void Fruit.

"Father, how strong of an array can you make? I need you to conceal my phenomenon when I awaken." Xue Bai spoke.

Thinking for a moment, Xue Feng answered, "If I have time to prepare, I can create a Middle Black Grade formation."

"That's good enough, then. Set up a concealing array in my courtyard. I don't want the world to know about what's going to happen next."
