Hearing Xiao Chen's words, a strange look flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes.

This strange color disappeared quickly and Xiao Chen did not notice it.

"No."

Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Maybe... it's still too weak."

"Too weak? Lao Xiao, why do I feel like you are showing off to me..."

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yi and said.

"The Twelve Families, still weak?"

"Before the Twelve Aristocratic Families, there were so many forces... If the forces outside the Heaven wanted to find a partner, they would definitely look for the forces at the forefront."

Xiao Yi chuckled.

"Isn't it the same principle that the strong should join forces? Although, it can't be considered a strong alliance."

"Too."

Xiao Chen thought about it and nodded. If he wanted to find a partner or subordinate, he had to find a strong one.

Only a strong force can do more things.

"The Xiao family was not strong before, but it is different now."

Xiao Yi's face was full of relief.

"Next time I go back, I'll go to the ancestral grave to take a look..."

"What's the matter? The old man's coffin lid can't hold it down anymore?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Um?"

Xiao Yi was stunned, then he widened his eyes.

"Don't be disrespectful...why can't you hold it in?"

"Because I'm so good, they're so happy and want to come out and see me, so I can't hold it back."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"If they really come out, they'll scare you to death."

Xiao Yi was not happy.

"Yes, yes, whatever you say is what it is."

Xiao Chen nodded, then looked at Xiao Yi.

"Old Xiao, what is his relationship with Tianwaitian?"

"Who...oh, is it so difficult to just call out 'father'?"

Xiao Yi was stunned at first, then he reacted.

"Isn't the past all in the past? Boy, sometimes, letting go means letting yourself go... Just let go when you should, understand?"

"Stop talking to me about this...answer my question."

Xiao Chen curled his lips.

"He has the strength of a half-step innate realm, so he definitely can't hide it from a veteran innate like you."

"He did go to the outer world before, but I don't know what happened there."

Xiao Yi shook his head.

"As an elder, how can I gossip too much? Besides, I am not a gossipy person."

"You don't gossip? If you don't gossip, why do you ask me about my love life all day long?"

Xiao Chen despised.

"Don't be ungrateful. I am concerned about you, old man. Do you understand?"

Xiao Yi said.

"So you didn't care about him?"

Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yi.

"What's more, he is the patriarch of the Xiao family."

"As the head of the family, I only need to know about a person's character and abilities. Why should I know so much about other things... If you want to know something, just ask us next time we meet. I just happen to have a topic, so we can have a good chat."

Xiao Yi smiled.

"Don't Chinese fathers and sons always lack topics to talk about?"

“…”

Xiao Chen was too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Yi.

"By the way, isn't the old fortune teller coming?"

Xiao Yi thought of something and asked.

"Didn't I contact you?"

"No, I can't get in touch."

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"I guess the old fortune teller thinks that this is such a small matter, it's not worth his trip... He has absolute confidence in my strength."

"Too."

Xiao Yi nodded.

"Okay, let's stop talking..."

"Um."

The two returned to the dinner party and it was lively.

Xiao Chen held the cup and drank with Xuan Kong.

"Back then in the Duanmu family, did you really want to kill me?"

After finishing the drink, Xuankong asked.

"How could that be possible...Senior Xuankong and I hit it off right away."

Xiao Chen's face was full of smiles.

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xuan Kong despised them. He didn't even believe a single punctuation mark.

"Yes, I will take action when it is time."

After joking for a few sentences, Xiao Chen looked at Xuan Kong and said slowly.

"If we become enemies, not only will I kill you, I will also kill Xuantian Sect..."

“…”

Xuan Kong looked at Xiao Chen, was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled.

"Fortunately, I took the right step and did not continue to be your enemy..."

"hehe."

Xiao Chen also smiled.

"Senior Xuankong, it's all over, why are you bringing this up..."

"Okay, let's not talk about it."

Xuankong nodded.

"When people get old, they love to talk about the past..."

"Come on, have a drink."

Xiao Chen poured more wine and drank a few glasses with Xuan Kong.

After the dinner, Xuankong left.

Xiao Chen and others sent him to the gate.

"I've already met Xiao Chen."

After leaving, Xuankong took out a mobile phone and made a call.

"What's his attitude?"

A man's voice came from the receiver.

"There is still resistance, and there should be many forces in contact with Xiao Chen... In other words, he has many choices."

Xuankong replied.

"Then... relying on Xuantian Sect is not possible?"

The man over there asked again.

Hearing this, Xuan Kong showed a bit of helplessness and a bitter smile on his face: "Let alone Xuantian Sect, even if the three sects are combined, it will be difficult for him to do anything."

“…”

There was silence over there.

"I think you should come find him in person..."

Xuankong said slowly.

"The timing is not right yet. Let's see how he performs over the weekend. If he performs well, someone from above will naturally come looking for him."

The man said in a deep voice.

"Anything else?"

Xuankong asked.

"If not, then hang up first."

"Okay, keep in touch."

After saying that, the person on the other end hung up the phone.

"call……"

Xuankong put away his phone and took a deep breath.

"This world... has really changed. A great era has arrived, and the curtain... has been opened."

After he sighed, his figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

At the Xiao family manor, after the dinner, everyone went to rest.

Xiao Chen thought about it and went to find Long Lao.

"Mr. Long."

Xiao Chen greeted him and sat down.

"Um."

Long Zhuifeng looked at Xiao Chen and smiled.

He knew that Xiao Chen would come to find him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

It's one night, can't you wait?

"Master Long, why do you say that I must win this battle?"

Xiao Chen did not beat around the bush. In his eyes, Old Long was almost the same as Old Xiao, both were his elders.

Moreover, Elder Long saved his life.

"The forces outside the Heaven are becoming more and more active... Next, more and more people will come out of the Heaven."

Old Long restrained his smile a little.

"There is a Qingyun Tower in Tianwai Tian, and Wei Zichen's master is from this Qingyun Tower... Now that Wei Zichen has come out, he may have other plans, and Qingyan Sect is also cooperating as much as possible."

"One on the second floor."

Xiao Chen nodded.

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Elder Long was somewhat surprised: "You know everything?"

“I just got a brief understanding.”

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Who told you that?"

Mr. Long was curious.

"Some time ago, someone came out from Tianwaitian."

Xiao Chen replied.

"Lin Yue from Xingxiu Island."

"You've seen them? They came to see you?"

Old Long asked again.

"Not really, this is just a misunderstanding..."

Xiao Chen shook his head and recounted what happened that day.

After hearing what Xiao Chen said, Old Long was speechless. Is this even possible?

"So now... we have turned our enemies into friends?"

asked Elder Long.

“Not really.”

Xiao Chen shook his head.

"To put it nicely, each has his own thoughts. To put it bluntly, that is... each has his own agenda."

"hehe."

Hearing what Xiao Chen said, Old Long laughed again.

"It's normal for them to have ideas... I'm afraid that many people will come to you next."

"Um."

Xiao Chen nodded.

"You have to think about what to say."

Elder Long warned.

"When they don't show hostility, try not to make enemies."

"I know."

Xiao Chen lit a cigarette.

"Master Long, is the [Dragon Emperor] in control of the teleportation array now?"

“I guess so.”

Mr. Long nodded.

"There are also several small teleportation arrays in other places...but they are all guarded."

"Several small teleportation arrays..."

Xiao Chen frowned.

"Don't worry too much. It hasn't been started for so many years. It's not certain whether it can be used."

Old Long shook his head.

"There is still time."

"We can't keep being so passive..."

Xiao Chen looked at Elder Long and spoke slowly.

"No, we are also making various arrangements... Now, the rules are still there before, and they will follow the rules... It's hard to say whether it can be done or not."

Old Long smiled bitterly.

"Just wait and see, there's no need to rush."

"OK."

After hearing what Elder Long said, Xiao Chen did not ask any more questions.

"What about the Dragon Emperor? Is there anything I can do for you?"

"When you are done with your work, find some time to go to the Dragon Soul Hall."

Elder Long said to Xiao Chen.

"The Dragon Emperor is also facing some major problems right now. We need to take this opportunity to properly handle them... otherwise, it will be very difficult."

"Anyway, if you need me, just tell me."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"Haha, I won't be polite with you."

Mr. Long also smiled.

"By the way, the old fortune teller called me a while ago."

"Oh? What did he say?"

Xiao Chen asked hurriedly.

"I haven't been able to contact him... I don't know what the situation is. Maybe in a secret place?"

"right."

Mr. Long nodded.

"He went to a secret place."

"Which secret realm?"

Xiao Chen was curious.

“No Man’s Land…”

Elder Long looked at Xiao Chen and spoke slowly.

"What? The old fortune teller went to no man's land?"

Hearing what Elder Long said, Xiao Chen was surprised, and then showed some worry.

"What is he doing in no man's land?"

"Don't worry too much. This isn't the first time the old fortune teller has gone to a no-man's land."

Old Long shook his head.

"He won't come for this battle... He also told me that he has confidence in your strength. No matter how strong Wei Zichen is, you will be stronger than him."

"Not coming?"

Xiao Chen was still a little disappointed. In his opinion, the weekend would be his highlight moment... He wanted to let the old fortune teller see how strong and excellent he was now!

Now... the old fortune teller is not here, and he always feels that something is missing.

But think about it again, his excellence is known to all the old fortune tellers.

"It's fine if he doesn't come, but what is he doing in the no-man's land?"

Xiao Chen was helpless.

"I wanted to go before, but he wouldn't let me go... Now, he went by himself. That's really mean of him."

"Don't worry, you know the old fortune teller's abilities..."

Old Long said with a smile.
