She is powerful but low-key, occasionally crazy but generally keeps a low profile, and never shows off.
From a waste who could barely establish her foundation to a genius summoner with an awa...
After getting into the carriage, they were taken to the Xiao residence in no time.
The head of the Xiao family was already waiting at the door. When he saw A-Jiang get out of the car, he looked her over a few times, then immediately put on a warm smile, bowed and greeted her, and welcomed her into the house.
A large group of people followed the procession through the Xiao family's grand mansion and arrived at the reception room.
After dismissing all irrelevant people and leaving only a few family elites, the Xiao family head instructed that tea and snacks be served to A-Jiang.
Then she pulled the butler aside and whispered, "Call Wulang, Liulang, and Jiulang over here, and have them dress up nicely."
The housekeeper quickly went downstairs to find someone.
The head of the Xiao family turned around and sat down, sipping his tea. He smiled and introduced his connections in the cultivation world and his status in Qingniu Town, saying that the fairy could ask him for anything.
Then, smiling, he asked, "What is your name, fairy? Why did you come down the mountain alone?"
"My name is Jiang Bai, and I came down the mountain to gain experience."
The head of the Xiao family stroked his beard and smiled, just as he had predicted.
But her name is Jiang Bai?
The Xiao family head went through the names in his mind, but there was no such name. However, the imposing manner of this person was not something that just any disciple could possess.
However, despite inquiries, A-Jiang never revealed his origins.
The head of the Xiao family already had a good idea of what was going on, guessing that she must have an extraordinary background, so he didn't press her for details when she didn't say anything.
The Xiao family was just a very poor and small cultivation family. Being able to curry favor with a core disciple of the Qinglian Sect was quite an achievement, so they still decided to proceed as planned.
A short while later, three teenagers entered together and bowed gracefully.
"Let me introduce you, Fairy. These three are the most talented children of our Xiao family in this generation. It's a pity that they are devoted to the Dao, but they have no way to seek it. Fairy's trip down the mountain for training is a good opportunity for them to serve by your side. If they have the chance to join the immortal sect, our Xiao family is willing to support them with the full strength of the clan."
A-Jiang, not understanding the Xiao family head's actions, asked, "The sect recruits disciples once every five years. Didn't the three of you participate?"
"Sigh, that's why we say we weren't lucky enough. All three of them were unable to participate for various reasons."
He shook his head and sighed as he spoke.
However, in reality, the Xiao family's children are tested for aptitude at birth. The three children he specially summoned were those with poor aptitude within the clan, but outstanding appearances.
A-Jiang watched the three people calmly. With handsome men and beautiful women walking around the sect, she had developed a strong resistance to beauty.
Looking at A-Jiang's indifferent face, the Xiao family head hardened his heart and said to the steward, "Check on Sanlang's health. If possible, please invite him over."
The steward glanced up at him, then quickly went downstairs. After waiting for a long time, no one came. The Xiao family head kept trying to find topics to chat with A-Jiang, but seeing that it had been a while, he figured that Sanlang might not be able to come. So he changed the subject to the three children, hoping to get A-Jiang to join the sect. However, A-Jiang did not respond.
Just when the Xiao family head was about to give up, seeing that he was not going to achieve his goal, Xiao Sanlang arrived.
This man was different from the three boys standing below; he was an adult male.
He wore a simple white undergarment and a light blue robe, his dark hair was casually tied in a knot, with the rest draped over his body. He was slender, with a silk sash tied around his waist. The whole outfit was somewhat loose and not the kind of attire one would wear to receive guests, but on him, it had a free and easy charm.
Not to mention his face. When he saw his face, Ah Jiang was shocked and stood up from his chair, staring straight at the face that was seven parts familiar.
Upon seeing this, the head of the Xiao family felt reassured.
She calmly introduced him: "This is my third son. He has exceptional talent, but he is frail and sickly. He caused us so much worry when he was young. His mother and I were worried that he would die young. He is better now that he is older, but he is unable to enter a sect to cultivate and has been raised at home. Fairy, do you think there is still a chance?"
While that's true, the main reason he called Sanlang out was because Sanlang was the most handsome among the three generations of the Xiao family.
Today, a big fish has finally come along, and he's determined to seize this opportunity no matter the cost.
Ah Jiang was a little stunned and didn't reply.
Zhao Sanlang smiled and bowed, saying, "Greetings, fairy. I am Xiao Songjing, the third son of the Xiao family."
Neither humble nor arrogant, neither obsequious nor aloof, everything is just right.
It wasn't until this moment that Ah Jiang came to his senses.
She was truly shocked; the two looked so alike that she almost thought her master had appeared specifically to test her Dao heart.
This man bears a striking resemblance to his master, though he lacks the imposing aura of his master's cultivation and experience.
In terms of facial features alone, the two are very similar, except that the master is usually serious and doesn't smile.
This person, however, had a smile on his face the entire time after he appeared.
That smile always made her feel a little dazed.
