Not long after Xiao Lingxi left, Xia Qingyue came back. Today, she had changed out of her red dress and replaced it with a light blue silk skirt with phoenix patterns embroidered on it. She had a sapphire hairpin in her hair, pearl earrings on her ears, and a sapphire blue pearl necklace on her neck. The skin on her exposed neck was snow-white and translucent, and it seemed as if you could see through her bones. Her face was bright and beautiful, and she was extremely beautiful.
Xiao Che's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was stunned. Isn't it the interpretation of such a beautiful scene when a fairy falls to earth...
Xia Qingyue walked in from outside the door, each step was light and graceful as if she was walking on clouds, her snow-white face and pink neck were extremely beautiful, and she also revealed a kind of nobility and coldness that made people feel ashamed of themselves... Anyone who saw her would not believe that she was just the daughter of a merchant in a remote town, but would think that she was a high and mighty imperial daughter who could not be desecrated.
Xiao Che was dazzled by the sight, and was filled with regrets... The only place where she could change clothes was in this room! He must have been fast asleep at the time, and actually missed the beautiful sight of her changing clothes! Ahhhh, this is unforgivable! !
"The blue dress suits you better than the red one." Xiao Che looked at her, admiring her sincerely while feeling pleased with her.
Xia Qingyue was not moved at all by his praise. She glanced at the empty soup pot on the table, walked over to pick it up, and was about to walk out.
"Did you make the chicken soup?" Xiao Che asked.
"Not tasty?" Xia Qingyue said coldly, with her back to him. But deep in her eyes, there was a subtle emotion that even she herself could not understand.
"It's delicious. I just realized that you're so good at making soup." Xiao Che said with a smile. He stood up, stretched, and said seriously: "In order to repay Qingyue's wife for the chicken soup, tonight, I will definitely... work harder in bed."
“…” Xia Qingyue was already accustomed to his occasional verbal teasing, and said expressionlessly: “Someone from the Xiao Sect will come this afternoon. The leader is the youngest son of the Xiao Sect’s Sect Master, named Xiao Kuangyun. I heard from my master that Xiao Kuangyun’s profound strength is only average among the younger generation of the Xiao Sect, and his reputation outside is extremely bad. However, because he is the youngest son, he is extremely favored, and no one in Floating Cloud City can afford to offend him. If you can avoid meeting him, try to avoid him.”
"Xiao Kuangyun? Okay, I got it. Thank you, wife Qingyue, for the reminder." Xiao Che said with a smile.
……………………………………
Today is the day when Xiao Zong’s people arrive.
The news that Xiao Zong was sending someone affected more than just the Xiao Clan. The entire Floating Cloud City was greatly affected.
Liuyun City, in all aspects, is at the bottom of the Blue Wind Empire, while Xiao Sect is at the top of the Blue Wind Empire. There is an unknown number of levels between the two. The people of Xiao Sect... and the son of the Sect Master of Xiao Sect came here in person, which is no less than the emperor coming to the most humble country family. The whole Liuyun City is shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Some people are secretly looking forward to it, hoping to find ways to get a little relationship with Xiao Sect, while more people are panicking. After learning that this afternoon is the time for them to arrive, they stay at home and stay indoors, fearing that they will offend the other party... If the people of Xiao Sect want to kill them, it is no different from stepping on ants on the ground. The law is a joke to them.
The Xiao Clan compound was neatly tidied inside and out, spotless everywhere. The largest and most luxurious courtyard in the Xiao Clan where Xiao Yunhai had been living had been renovated and cleaned two days ago, even the sheets, bedding and furniture were all replaced, and Xiao Yunhai himself moved into the small courtyard next door. Even the meals for the next few days were arranged by Xiao Yunhai himself... Although he was exhausted, he was always very excited! Because he was 100% sure that the person chosen by Xiao Zong this time would be his son Xiao Yulong! By then, his son would soar to the sky! He himself would also become the absolute overlord of Liuyun City... No! No one dared to provoke him within hundreds of miles!
Starting from 10 a.m., Xiao Yunhai personally led the elders and deacons to stand at the door, ready to welcome them. They waited until noon... and then... in the afternoon... until nearly 5 p.m., a disciple of the Xiao Sect came back sweating profusely, and shouted from afar: "Master! Here... Here!! The people of the Xiao Sect are here... That momentum... It's definitely the Xiao Sect!"
Everyone was shocked. Xiao Yunhai stepped outside the door and growled, "Quick! Tell them to get ready right away. Anyone who neglects our distinguished guests will be punished! Elders, follow me to welcome them!"
When Xiao Yunhai ran all the way for more than a mile, he finally saw a group of four people walking towards them slowly.
The first of the four was a young man who looked barely 20 years old, dressed elegantly, of medium build, with an ordinary appearance. His pale face was a bit sallow, and he looked like someone who had indulged himself too much. In terms of appearance, he was definitely a piece of ass that you would not find if thrown into a crowd, but even on such an ordinary face, there was arrogance and pride written all over. When he walked, he put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky. He would not even glance at the occasional passerby, as if looking at him any more would pollute his eyes.
Behind him followed an old man dressed in black with a calm face. Behind him were two young men also dressed in black, with a silver flying eagle pattern embroidered on their shoulders.
Xiao Yunhai took a deep breath, walked over quickly, clasped his hands together, leaned forward, and asked respectfully and carefully: "Excuse me, are you four distinguished guests from the Xiao Sect?"
The young man walking in front stopped, glanced at them casually, and said with half-closed eyes: "Yes, this young master is Xiao Kuangyun of the Xiao Sect."
Xiao Yunhai's attitude suddenly became more respectful, and he said with great trepidation: "So you are really four distinguished guests. Great! We have been waiting for you for a long time. I am the current leader of the Xiao Clan in Liuyun City, and the five behind me are the five most respected elders of the Xiao Clan. We are extremely grateful and trepidatious for the four distinguished guests to come from afar for our Xiao Clan."
“No need to waste time talking nonsense.” Xiao Kuangyun glanced at the five elders casually, then waved his hand lazily: “Lead the way.”
"Yes, yes! Please." Xiao Yunhai nodded quickly, then leaned forward, led the way in front, and walked back to the Xiao Clan.
"I wonder who this senior is..."
"Xiao Moshan." The old man in black said calmly. His face was emotionless, like a dead body.
Xiao Yunhai didn't dare to speak, his heart was filled with awe. He could still figure out the profound strength of Xiao Kuangyun, but he couldn't detect a single trace of profound strength from Xiao Moshan. In this case, either Xiao Moshan had no profound strength at all, which was obviously impossible. Or, his profound strength was far beyond his, and he couldn't detect it at all.
When they returned to the Xiao Clan, there were already a bunch of people standing at the door. Seeing Xiao Yunhai's respectful attitude in front of them, their hearts skipped a beat. All their eyes fell on the arrogant young man, and then they rushed to respond.
"Excuse me, is this the young master from the Xiao Sect?" A portly middle-aged man who was at the front asked respectfully.
"Who are you?" Xiao Kuangyun looked at him with half of his eye tilted.
"I am... I am the Lord of Liuyun City. My name is Situ Nan. I heard that the distinguished guest of Xiao Sect was coming, so I came to greet him." Situ Nan's voice began to tremble as he spoke, and there was a line of cold sweat on his forehead. As the Lord of Liuyun City, he had seen many big shots, but the big shots he had seen were nothing in front of the young master of Xiao Sect. The arrogant man in front of him was not impressive in appearance, but it would only take a word to kill him.
“My name is Yuwen Ba, and I’m a long-time friend of Patriarch Xiao. I’ve come here specially… specially to admire the demeanor of Young Master Xiao, and bring a small gift with me. I hope Young Master Xiao will accept it.” The head of the Yuwen family, who is as famous as the Xiao family in Liuyun City, also hurried forward with a respectful look on his face, holding a small and exquisite jade box in his hand.
Xiao Kuangyun glanced at the jade box and waved his hand to the two people behind him: "Take it."
The person behind immediately stepped forward and took the jade box in his hand with an expressionless face.
Seeing that the young master of the Xiao clan actually accepted his gift, Yuwen Ba's face was filled with joy. Others who wanted to establish some relationship with the Xiao clan also rushed forward to present their gifts... Xiao Kuangyun accepted all the gifts, then squinted his eyes and said nonchalantly: "You all should leave. It's getting late today. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow."
"Yes, yes! Young Master Xiao must be exhausted after traveling through mountains and rivers to get here. We will come to visit you again tomorrow after Young Master Xiao has had a good rest." City Lord Situ nodded quickly.
The crowd then dispersed.
Xiao Yunhai and the five elders respectfully ushered Xiao Kuangyun into the Xiao Sect. Xiao Yunhai stepped forward and said, "The four distinguished guests of the Xiao Sect have traveled all the way and must be tired. Would you like to take a rest first? The elegant residence is ready."
“No need, I’m not that weak.” Xiao Kuangyun glanced at the Xiao Clan, his mouth curled up, revealing an undisguised contempt, and then he said lightly: “If Elder Xiao Zheng hadn’t passed away, I wouldn’t have known there was such a place. I heard that the ancestors of this place were trash expelled by our Xiao Sect, but no matter how trash they were, they were expelled from the Xiao Sect after all. Even if they were trash that the Xiao Sect didn’t want, they could still be the overlord in a place like this. After so many years, it’s not bad to be able to develop into this.”
"Yes, yes, thank you for the compliment, Master Xiao."
Facing Xiao Kuangyun's blatant contempt and disdain, Xiao Yunhai just nodded and thanked him, not daring to refute at all.
"The dead are the greatest. I came here in person to fulfill Elder Xiao Zheng's last wish. The purpose has been made clear to you in the letter. Tomorrow morning, let all the people in your clan gather in this courtyard. No one can be left behind. I will personally select someone to bring back to the Xiao Sect." When he said the last sentence, Xiao Kuangyun held his head high, as if he was issuing an imperial decree to benefit the world.
