Chapter 250: Just Treat Me Like an Ordinary Guest
Upon hearing this, the head of the Si family, who arrived a step slower than his son, slapped his third son on the back of the head and ordered him to shut up.
Then he said to Xie Liuyin with a bitter face: "Xie nephew, you are joking. We in the Si family don't think you are unworthy, nor do we want you to speak. We just think you are a distinguished guest and want to welcome you in as soon as possible."
"Oh? Is that really the case? But just now, the two gatekeepers of your house rushed at me with sticks, as if they wanted to beat me to death." Xie Liuyin acted as if he was frightened and deliberately hid behind Si Feiyu.
At this time, Si Feiyu was also confused by Xie Liuyin's behavior. No, when she was in the secret realm before, she was not as shameless as she is now!
If Si Feiyu hadn't been with Xie Liuyin all the time, she would have suspected that there was a different person in front of her.
Why didn't she realize before that Xie Liuyin had such a stubborn side?
However, Si Feiyu, who reacted quickly, naturally protected Xie Liuyin at the first moment. They were in the same group, so there was no reason for her to favor others.
"Master, please don't be angry. We Liuyin didn't do it on purpose. If we have offended you in any way, please don't hold it against us." Si Feiyu said deliberately.
Seeing that the Si family members' faces were becoming increasingly gloomy, the head of the Si family suppressed his anger and spoke some nice words in a gentle voice, only then did he persuade Xie Liuyin and the others to go into the house.
But at this time, a group of people had already gathered outside the gate of the Si family to watch the fun. The servants of the Si family waved their hands and scolded them repeatedly, and then drove away those who wanted to stay and continue to watch the show.
Xie Liuyin, who was invited into the mansion, seemed to have suddenly grown sensible. Looking at the white silk hanging all over the mansion, he said with a guilty look on his face, "I am sorry for not noticing that such a sad thing happened in your mansion before, and I am wrong to come and disturb you at this time."
The third son of the Si family, who was in charge of entertaining her, curled his lips, looking extremely ugly, but he did not dare to neglect her. He only said, "It's no wonder that fellow Daoist Xie didn't know. You just came from the Nanshan Secret Realm, so you must not know. Among the disciples our Si family sent to the Nanshan Secret Realm this time, only Si Feiyu survived!"
These words sounded extremely sarcastic, and were clearly mocking Xie Liuyin for playing dumb. After all, she came from the Nanshan Secret Realm, so how could she not know that the Si family's team had been annihilated?
But Xie Liuyin seemed to not understand the sarcasm, and said in surprise: "What, the Si family's team is gone? No wonder when all of us cultivators gathered together to kill the evil cultivator, there was no sign of the Si family. I thought your children were busy looking for treasures and had no time to join us. So this is what happened."
Xie Liuyin said, sighing deeply, and said to the Third Young Master with great emotion: "Please accept my condolences from everyone in your family. Fortunately, we have helped your family kill all those evil cultivators who harmed people, and this can be regarded as avenging the deep hatred for your Si family."
"Oh, by the way, Feiyu also made a lot of efforts this time. If the young masters and young ladies in your house knew that Feiyu fought the evil cultivator with all his might in order to avenge them, I think they would be relieved in their graves."
Xie Liuyin seemed not to have noticed the third young master's gloomy face, and shamelessly labeled Si Feiyu as someone who "avenged the Si family."
The third young master choked, and the words that were originally stuck in his throat, and he was about to question Si Feiyu, could not utter a single word.
Si Feiyu, who was following behind them, lowered his head, not daring to let anyone see the smile on his face.
"What's with that expression on your face, Third Young Master? Are you too touched? That's unnecessary. I'm still very kind. Although I've done such a great favor to your Si family, I won't repay the favor. Third Young Master, just treat me as an ordinary distinguished guest."
Xie Liuyin seemed to be afraid that she would not be able to anger the other party. Seeing that the Third Young Master's face looked so bad, she still rushed forward to say a few words.
The third young master had been in a bad mood these days because his child was among the people sent to the Nanshan Secret Realm this time.
He originally thought that there were so many good things in the Nanshan Secret Realm, and his family had arranged a number of powerful guards to follow him, so his child would definitely not be in any danger if he went in to get some treasures.
Who could have thought that there would be evil cultivators infiltrating this secret realm and even harming the life of their own child.
He was already extremely sad at this time, and when he learned that Si Feiyu's soul lamp was still on and she was not dead, he wanted to tear her into pieces.
But this female cultivator from the Qingxiao Sect came back with Si Feiyu, and she kept saying those unpleasant words.
The Third Young Master was thrown upside down. Even though he kept telling himself to endure it, he could no longer endure it.
But given Xie Liuyin's identity, the Third Young Master didn't dare to do anything to her. He could only flick his sleeves, turn around and leave, only instructing the butler to continue entertaining her.
As for the other members of the Si family, after handing over the hot potato of Xie Liuyin to the Third Young Master, they returned to their respective courtyards, obviously not wanting to have any contact with Xie Liuyin.
Having seen how good Xie Liuyin was at talking, the butler approached tremblingly, not daring to look at Xie Liuyin's face.
But Xie Liuyin was quite polite to the butler and didn't provoke him like he did to the Third Young Master.
Seeing this, the housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief. According to the previous instructions of the patriarch, he first sent the two of them to a courtyard to settle down: "Master Xie, you can rest here for a while. After two days, when the family has dealt with the first seven days of the funeral of several young masters and young ladies, the patriarch may be able to spare time to meet Master Xie."
"It's okay, it's okay. To be honest, it's my fault. I'm so tactless to disturb you at this time." Xie Liuyin waved his hands repeatedly with a guilty look on his face.
The housekeeper was startled when he heard this, and thought that the actions of the master and the third son made the distinguished guest feel neglected. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Xie Liuyin chuckle and continue:
"Since the master of your house is too busy to entertain me, can I meet the parents of my Taoist friend Feiyu?"
The butler opened his mouth and closed it silently, not knowing what to say for a moment.
But he finally nodded, after all, this was a request from a distinguished guest. If he was not allowed to see the master of the house, it would be unreasonable not to let the servants see him either.
At this time, the housekeeper could only be thankful that Si Feiyu's parents were only locked up. The Si family had originally planned to keep these two people until the seventh day to offer a living sacrifice to several young masters and young ladies.
If Si Feiyu had come back a little later, she would probably have seen only the bodies of her parents.
Because of Xie Liuyin's words, the butler reported to the Third Young Master and had to release Si Feiyu's parents.
The fact that the Si family was going to sacrifice their loyal servant alive could not be leaked, so before letting Si Feiyu meet them, the housekeeper found the two of them and threatened them, forbidding them to tell anyone about their previous imprisonment.
The Xie couple were quite sensible. After being threatened by the housekeeper, they obeyed obediently, fearing that telling the truth would affect their daughter's future.
When Si Feiyu brought Xie Liuyin to see them, they had already changed their clothes and pretended that life was peaceful and tranquil.
