Only after Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue finished eating breakfast did Xiao Lie return, an unprecedented seriousness written all over his face, as well as a bit of shock that had yet to completely disperse.
"Grandfather, what happened?" Xiao Che immediately stood up and asked.
"A major event, to Xiao Sect, can be said to be an enormous matter." Xiao Lie said, but his furrowed brows loosened up right after: "However, it shouldn't have much to do with us."
"Something big? What's that? " Xiao Che was even more surprised.
"It's the Xiao Sect."
"Xiao Sect?" This time, not only Xiao Che, but even Xia Qingyue raised an eyebrow.
"Just half an hour ago, the Sect Leader suddenly received a letter from the Xiao Sect. The letter said that a group of people from the Xiao Sect would arrive soon, and the person leading the group was the youngest son of the current Sect Master of the Xiao Sect, Xiao Juetian!" Xiao Lie slowly said.
"..." This news caused Xiao Che to be silent for a long time, and said: "If this is true, it doesn't seem to be logical. Even though our Xiao Sect was born in the bloodline of the Xiao Sect a hundred years ago, the Xiao Sect had never given a single glance at us. Even though we had not had any contact with him for more than a hundred years, there would never be anyone in the Xiao Sect who would care about this little Xiao Sect. As for plotting something... The Xiao Sect has the power to cover the sky, what can they plot against us? In terms of favors, it is even more impossible. "
Xiao Lie shook his head and said, "Of course there's a reason. Not long ago, when Xiao Zheng passed away, when a person is about to die, the thing that he was thinking about in his heart would no longer be the pursuit of a lifetime of achievement and fame. He thought about the existence of a son like Xiao Baili, whom he had not seen for over a hundred years, and felt guilty, so he left behind a dying message, hoping that after his death, the Xiao Sect would find the descendants of Xiao Baili and bring them back from the younger generation, with him choosing the most talented person in the clan to cultivate.
An ordinary person's lifespan would not exceed a hundred years, but once their profound strength reaches a certain point, living for a few hundred years would not be a problem at all. Reportedly, after breaking through the Emperor Profound Realm, one's lifespan can reach up to a thousand years. After hearing Xiao Lie's words, Xiao Che first thought about it, and then felt relieved. No wonder Xiao Sect took the initiative to visit him; It seemed that the dead Xiao Zheng still had a certain status in the Xiao Sect, at least he respected his last words. He also understood why Xiao Lie said that it had nothing to do with them. " Pick the most talented one to return to the Xiao Sect to nurture "… No matter what, the person with the best talent did not have anything to do with Xiao Che.
However, it was obvious that the other elders' hearts were surging with excitement when they heard this news. Was he brought back to the Xiao Sect to be nurtured? What did that mean? If any of their sons or grandchildren were chosen and brought back to the Xiao Sect, it would completely change from an earthworm in the mud to a golden dragon in the clouds overnight! Not to mention in the Xiao Sect, in the entire Cloud Flowing City, he could do whatever he wanted without fear. No one dared to disobey him, and with the two words "Xiao Sect", even the mayor didn't dare to even fart.
Xiao Lie's expression looked very calm, but he still couldn't escape the eyes of Xiao Che, who was trying his best to conceal his disappointment. Within the Xiao Sect, there was not a single person who did not hold yearning towards the Xiao Sect; even the him from before was the same. And this time, the arrival of the Xiao Sect was undoubtedly the closest ever since the existence of the Xiao Sect, because at least they could directly come into contact with the people of the Xiao Sect. All the other people in the Xiao Sect would more or less have that kind of extravagant hope, but only Xiao Lie didn't dare to have such extravagant hope. Because, the person Xiao Sect would choose, would never even be Xiao Che's turn.
Xiao Che opened his mouth, wanting to say something to console his grandfather, but after mulling for a long time, he was unable to say a single word. His profound veins's condition was clearly displayed there, so even if he said it beautifully, what's the use?
"Although this shouldn't have anything to do with us, this is good too. Although the Xiao Sect is as big as the sky, even if we go there, we will only be at the lowest level. How can this be comparable to being at peace in the Cloud Flowing City?" Xiao Lie laughed casually, and sat at the dining table: "Come, accompany grandfather to finish the breakfast."
… … ….
Coming out of Xiao Lie's courtyard, Xiao Che instantly felt the atmosphere in the entire Xiao Sect undergo an obvious change. Usually, there were already quite a few people training at this time of the day. However, at a glance, there were only a few shadows. Moreover, most of them were walking in a hurry with excitement on their faces.
"It seems that everyone wants to be able to reach the top branch of the Xiao Sect, but to rise to the sky in a single step, is that really okay? Even if I were to really go to Xiao Sect, I would probably just be a lowly minion. " Xiao Che said indifferently.
"Jealous?" Xia Qingyue said with an expressionless face.
"Absolutely not!" It was only then that Xiao Che realized that the Xia Qingyue beside him wasn't one bit inferior to the Xiao Sect, as long as he curled his lips and said: "You're not the same as them … Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything. "
Xia Qingyue no longer minded him and stepped forward. Although it was a very slow step, his entire body had already surpassed Xiao Che by seven or eight body widths. Another step, and he was even further behind Xiao Che. Xiao Che's footsteps stopped. He looked at the graceful and illusory Xia Qingyue with astonishment and muttered: "Could this be the legendary Frozen Cloud Asgard's' Dancing Ice Snow Steps'? This woman's profound strength is indeed not just at the Elementary Profound Realm. "
"Yo!" Isn't that Brother Xiao Che!? "
A voice came from the right. Xiao Che turned his head and saw Xiao Yang walking towards him. This Xiao Yang normally faced the sky with his nose in the air and simply did not spare a glance for him. It was the first time in the world that he took the initiative to greet someone.
"Brother Xiao Yang, it's so early." Xiao Che turned and greeted her with a friendly face.
"What a coincidence, I was just about to go look for you, I didn't expect to meet you here." Xiao Yang walked over with a smile.
"Brother Xiao Yang has something to talk to me about?" Xiao Che was shocked.
"Ang," Xiao Yang nodded. "Actually, Big Brother Yulong told me to call for you. He said that you're the youngest amongst us, but you're the first to get married. In addition, there were too many people at the wedding banquet yesterday, so they didn't have enough to enjoy themselves. Do you have time? "
It seems that this Xiao Yulong's patience is quite average to invite wine in so early in the morning. Xiao Che sneered in his heart. He was well aware of the reason why Xiao Yulong had sought him out, and immediately, his face revealed an expression of being overwhelmed by favor as he said excitedly: "Was it really Elder Brother Yulong who called me? Yes! Of course I have time! Since Elder Brother Yulong is the one who called me, how can I not have time! Then... Go now? "
Xiao Che's expression made Xiao Yang secretly sneer in contempt. He nodded: "Of course, let's go."
Xiao Yulong's courtyard was at least four or five times larger than Xiao Che's, and was very lavishly decorated, with a specialized servant girl.
In the center of the courtyard, to the north, there was a square pavilion, and a round table in the middle of the pavilion was already set up with wine and food. Xiao Yulong raised his cup, and said with a warm smile: "Junior Brother Xiao Che, now that you have married our Cloud Flowing City's number one pearl, I congratulate you once again. As your big brother, it seems like I have to work hard too. "
"Thank you, Elder Brother Yulong." Xiao Che also quickly raised his cup, his face flushed red from excitement, "Actually … Actually, the matter of my marriage was so small that it was not worth mentioning. The one who really ought to congratulate is me, the Elder Brother Yulong. "
"Oh?" Xiao Yulong revealed doubt on his face as he smiled: "Wish you could congratulate me? I don't understand. "
Xiao Che said with a stern expression on his face, "Could it be that Elder Brother Yulong didn't know that someone from the younger generation was about to arrive from the Xiao Sect, and was going to choose the most talented person to bring back to the Xiao Sect? In our Xiao Sect's younger generation, in terms of talent, position, looks, and character, who could compare to our Elder Brother Yulong? Therefore, the person who was brought back to the Xiao Sect this time is definitely not from the Elder Brother Yulong.
"Yes!" That's right, he would definitely be the one to be selected by the Xiao Sect, and it would definitely be big brother! As long as Big Brother is here, no one can even think about getting it. " Xiao Yang quickly said. His aptitude was only above average in the Xiao Sect. Regarding the matter of Xiao Sect, he who knew himself to be somewhat lacking didn't dare to have any thoughts about it. The most likely person in the Xiao Sect was undoubtedly Xiao Yulong. Furthermore, he had always been following in front of Xiao Yu and Dragon Queen all these years. If Xiao Yulong were to enter the Xiao Sect, it would only bring him hundreds of benefits without any problems. He even began to feel lucky that all these years of fawning on Xiao Yulong was the right choice.
However, Xiao Yulong shook his head, and said with a humble and amiable expression: "You guys are praising me too much. Our Xiao Sect has so many outstanding siblings. In terms of profound strength, I was lucky enough to be number one, but in terms of aptitude, I don't dare to say anything. Come, Little Brother Xiao Che, let's toast to you for yesterday's celebration. "
Although his voice was very casual, in the depths of Xiao Yulong's eyes, there was a hidden craziness that was hotter than anyone else's.
After drinking the wine, Xiao Che's face flushed. It was at this time that Xiao Yang brought his face closer with a face full of smiles as he said, "Little Brother Xiao Che, the one you married yesterday was the most beautiful woman in our Cloud Flowing City. Yesterday's bridal ceremony … Heh heh, you must be feeling quite good, right? "
Xiao Yulong raised his wine cup with a smile on his face, but his gaze was fixated on Xiao Che and his face and eyes; he was prepared to see an awkward expression appear on's face. However, the moment Xiao Yang finished asking his question, Xiao Che's eyes actually shone, his face revealing the obscene smile that all men know. He leaned towards Xiao Yang, lowered his voice, and laughed: "That's right! Hehehehe... Brother Xiao Yang, let me tell you, all women are the same. Xia Qingyue normally looks like a proud peacock, but on the bed, she is completely a slut. "Hehehehe …"
As Xiao Che said this, his eyes narrowed and his face flushed red, revealing an intoxicated expression.
Ping …
The wine cup in Xiao Yulong's hand was directly shattered, the fragments falling onto the table.
