After Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue finished their breakfast, Xiao Lie hurried back. His face was filled with unprecedented solemnity, and there was still some shock that had not completely dissipated.
"Grandpa, what happened?" Xiao Che quickly stood up and asked.
"It's a big event. It can be said to be a huge event for the Xiao Clan." Xiao Lie said, but his frown relaxed: "However, it should not have much to do with us."
"What a big deal? What is that?" Xiao Che was even more surprised.
"It's Xiao Zong."
“Xiao Zong?” This time, not only Xiao Che, but even Xia Qingyue immediately looked sideways.
"Just a quarter of an hour ago, the Sect Master suddenly received a letter from the Xiao Sect, saying that a group of people from the Xiao Sect would be arriving here soon, and that the leader would be the youngest son of the current Sect Master, Xiao Juetian!" Xiao Lie said slowly.
"..." This news made Xiao Che silent for a while, and he said: "If this is true, it seems a bit unreasonable. Although our Xiao Clan came from the Xiao Clan more than a hundred years ago, the Xiao Clan has always been dismissive of our Xiao Clan. There has been no contact for more than a hundred years. No one in the Xiao Clan would care about this small Xiao Clan at all. Why would they suddenly send people here? If there is any conspiracy... Xiao Clan is so powerful, what can they plot against us? If it is said that they are doing us a favor, it is even more impossible."
Xiao Lie shook his head and said, "Of course it's not without reason. Xiao Bieli, the founding ancestor of our Xiao Clan, was expelled from the Xiao Clan in disguise because of his poor talent. His father was Xiao Zheng, the elder of the Xiao Clan's Law Enforcement Hall at the time. Not long ago, Xiao Zheng passed away. When a person is about to die, what he thinks about is no longer the pursuit of fame and fortune in his life. He remembered that he had a son like Xiao Bieli, whom he had not seen for more than a hundred years. He felt guilty, so he left a will, hoping that the Xiao Clan would find the descendants of Xiao Bieli's lineage after his death, and choose the most talented one from the younger generation to bring back to the Xiao Clan for training, which can also be regarded as making up for the indifference and expulsion of Xiao Bieli back then."
The life span of ordinary people is no more than a hundred years, but when the profound strength reaches a certain level, living for hundreds of years is not a problem at all. It is said that after breaking through the King Profound Realm, the life span can reach a thousand years. After hearing what Xiao Lie said, Xiao Che first thought about it, and then felt relieved. No wonder Xiao Zong suddenly took the initiative to come to the door. It turned out that there was such a reason. It seems that the deceased Xiao Zheng still has a certain status in Xiao Zong. At least Xiao Zong respects his last words. He also understood why Xiao Lie said that it had nothing to do with them. "Select the most talented person to return to Xiao Zong for training"... How can this most talented person have nothing to do with him, Xiao Che.
However, it is conceivable that after the other elders received this news, their thoughts would be so overwhelming. Being taken back to Xiao Sect for training? What does that mean? If any of their sons or grandsons are chosen and then brought back to Xiao Sect, it would be like a worm in the mud turning into a golden dragon in the clouds overnight! Their direct lineage would also soar to the sky, not to mention in Xiao Sect, in the entire Floating Cloud City, they could walk sideways without any scruples. If anyone dared to disobey and bring up the word "Xiao Sect", even the city lord would not dare to fart.
Xiao Lie looked very calm, but the disappointment he tried to hide could not escape Xiao Che's eyes. In Xiao Clan, no one did not have a yearning for Xiao Sect, even he was like this before today. And this time, the people from Xiao Sect were undoubtedly the closest to Xiao Clan since its existence, because at least they could have real direct contact with people from Xiao Sect. Other people in Xiao Clan would have some extravagant hopes, but Xiao Lie alone did not dare to have such extravagant hopes. Because no matter what, the person that Xiao Sect would take a fancy to would not be Xiao Che's turn.
Xiao Che opened his mouth and wanted to say something to comfort his grandfather, but after brewing for a long time, he couldn't say a word. The state of his profound veins was clearly there, so even if he said something gorgeous and beautiful, what would be the use?
"Although this should have nothing to do with us, it's fine this way. Although the Xiao Sect is as big as the sky, even if we go there, we can only be the lowest class of people. How can it compare to the peace and tranquility in Liuyun City." Xiao Lie smiled carefreely and sat at the dining table: "Come, finish breakfast with grandpa."
……………………………………
Coming out of Xiao Lie's courtyard, Xiao Che immediately felt that the atmosphere of the entire Xiao Clan had changed significantly. Usually at this time, there would be many people doing morning exercises, but at this time, there were only a few people, and most of them were walking in a hurry with excitement on their faces.
“It seems like everyone wants to climb up the high branch of Xiao Sect, but is it really a good idea to reach the top in one step? Don’t you think that even if you really go to Xiao Sect, you will probably just be a lowly minion.” Xiao Che said indifferently.
“Jealous?” Xia Qingyue asked expressionlessly.
“Absolutely not!” Just after he finished speaking, Xiao Che realized that Xia Qingyue beside him was no less capable than the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace disciples of Xiao Zong. He curled his lips and said, “You are different from them… Forget it, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Xia Qingyue ignored him and took a step forward. Although it was a very slow step, she had already surpassed Xiao Che by seven or eight body lengths. With another step, she left Xiao Che even further behind. Xiao Che stopped and looked at Xia Qingyue, whose gait was elegant and like a phantom, in amazement. He whispered, “Could this be the legendary Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace’s ‘Ice and Snow Dance’? This woman’s profound strength is indeed more than just the Elementary Profound Realm.”
"Hey! Isn't this Brother Xiao Che?"
A voice came from the right, Xiao Che turned around and saw Xiao Yang walking towards him. This Xiao Yang usually looked down on him and ignored him, but this was the first time he took the initiative to say hello.
"Brother Xiao Yang, you're here so early." Xiao Che turned around and greeted him kindly.
"What a coincidence! I was just about to look for you, but I didn't expect to meet you here." Xiao Yang walked over and said with a smile.
"Brother Xiao Yang, do you have something to talk to me about?" Xiao Che was surprised.
"Yes," Xiao Yang nodded, "Actually, it was Brother Yulong who asked me to call you. He said that you are the youngest among us, but the first to get married. As brothers from the same sect, we must celebrate for you. In addition, there were too many people at the wedding banquet yesterday, and we didn't drink enough. It's just right for us to have a drink and breakfast together this morning. How about it? Do you have time?"
Inviting him to drink so early in the morning, it seems that Xiao Yulong's patience is also very average. Xiao Che sneered in his heart, he knew exactly what Xiao Yulong wanted to talk to him about, and at that moment, he showed a flattered expression on his face, and said excitedly: "Did Brother Yulong really call me? Yes! Of course I have time! Since it was Brother Yulong who called me, how could I not have time! So... let's go now?"
Xiao Yang secretly sneered and despised Xiao Che's expression. He nodded and said, "Of course, let's go."
Xiao Yulong's yard is at least four or five times larger than Xiao Che's. It is decorated very luxuriously and is equipped with special maids.
There is a square pavilion in the middle of the courtyard, with wine and food already laid out on the round table. Xiao Yulong picked up the wine glass and smiled warmly, "Brother Xiao Che, you married the number one pearl in our Liuyun City. Congratulations to you again. As your brother, I have to work hard too."
"Thank you, Brother Yulong." Xiao Che also quickly picked up the wine glass, his face flushed with excitement: "Actually... Actually, my marriage is a trivial matter and not worth mentioning. The one who should really congratulate Brother Yulong is me."
"Oh?" Xiao Yulong looked puzzled and smiled, "Congratulations to me? I don't quite understand what you mean."
Xiao Che said with a serious face: "Brother Yulong, don't you know that Xiao Sect will send someone soon, and then select the most talented person from the younger generation to bring back to Xiao Sect? Among the younger generation of our Xiao Sect, who can compare with Brother Yulong in terms of talent, status, appearance and character? So the person who is brought back to Xiao Sect this time must be Brother Yulong. This is a great joyous event."
"Yes! That's right, the one who will be chosen by Xiao Sect this time will definitely be Big Brother! With Big Brother here, no one else can even think about it." Xiao Yang also said hurriedly. His qualifications were only above average in the Xiao Sect. Knowing how much he was worth, he didn't dare to have any thoughts about the Xiao Sect. The most likely person in the Xiao Sect was undoubtedly Xiao Yulong. And he had been following Xiao Yulong all these years. If Xiao Yulong could enter the Xiao Sect, it would be a hundred benefits to him, and he even began to feel fortunate that it was the right choice to flatter Xiao Yulong all these years.
Xiao Yulong shook his head and said modestly, "You flatter me too much. We have so many outstanding brothers and sisters in the Xiao Clan. In terms of profound strength, I am lucky enough to be number one, but in terms of aptitude, I dare not say that I am number one. However, I will try my best. Come, brother Xiao Che, let's drink to your joy yesterday."
Although the words sounded very casual, deep in Xiao Yulong's eyes, there was a madness that was more intense than anyone else's.
After drinking a glass of wine, Xiao Che's face turned red. At this time, Xiao Yang leaned forward and said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Che, the one you married yesterday is the most beautiful girl in our Liuyun City. This good fortune really makes us brothers envy you to death. The feeling of the wedding night yesterday... hehe, it must have been quite enjoyable, right?"
Xiao Yulong picked up the wine glass with a smile on his face, but his eyes were fixed on Xiao Che's face and eyes, ready to see an embarrassed expression on his face. However, at the moment when Xiao Yang finished asking the question, Xiao Che's eyes lit up, and his face showed a lewd smile that all men understand. He leaned his head towards Xiao Yang, lowered his voice, and laughed: "That's it! Hehehehehe... Brother Xiao Yang, let me tell you, these women are really the same. Xia Qingyue usually looks like a proud peacock, but once she gets on the bed, she is a complete slut. That scream, that feeling, is more than just fun! Hehehehe..."
As Xiao Che spoke, his eyes narrowed, his face flushed, and he looked intoxicated.
Ping...
The wine glass in Xiao Yulong's hand was crushed directly, and the debris fell all over the table.
