At this time, the Third Elder Xiao no longer had a trace of sneer on his face. Looking at the long sword in Xiao Yutang's hand, he felt his hair stand on end and a layer of cold sweat seeped out of his back.
Although he knew very well that when Xiao Yutang left home last time, he was only at the great perfection of the Nascent Soul. In such a short time, even if he made some progress, he could only be promoted to the early stage of the Spiritualization at most, which was a long way behind him.
But at this moment, he had an intuition that even he himself found incredible: if Xiao Yutang was really allowed to take action, the Xiao family would definitely face a disaster, and it might even be a disaster of extermination. The Xiao family
would definitely regret it, and he, Xiao Ningli, would also become the biggest sinner of the Xiao family, and he would not be able to face his ancestors even if he died. Therefore
, even though Xiao Yujin had repeatedly urged him to give Xiao Yutang a warning and suppress Xiao Yutang's prestige, he agreed without hesitation, but when the time came, he involuntarily changed his mind.
As soon as he said this, Xiao Ningli began to regret: It was fine that he had not done what he promised Xiao Yujin, but as the third elder of the family, he actually bowed to a junior. If this matter spread out, would he still have the face to see people?
But once the words were spoken, it was too late for him to change his words.
At this time, Xiao Ningli would never have thought that his temporary humiliation would save the Xiao family from a huge disaster and continue the glory of the Xiao family for many years.
When the disaster came, he realized how clear his ambition was and how lucky he was.
Hearing Xiao Ningli's voice, several guards were relieved and quickly put away their swords and stepped aside.
Gu Qingxi also breathed a sigh of relief and quietly loosened the hilt of the sword she was holding tightly.
Seeing Xiao Yutang's unyielding and resolute performance, she was indeed very satisfied, but she also knew that although Xiao Yutang had a strong killing intention and the sword skills he learned from Shen Mengli were not weak, his cultivation in the early stage of the transformation of the spirit was a drag.
If they really had to fight, even if he could take the initiative, he would still die in the end. Since Xiao Yujin had resorted to such a shameless conspiracy, he probably wanted him to take action. How could he give him a chance to live?
Today's matter was related to Xiao Yutang's honor and disgrace, and even more to the position of the head of the Xiao family. Gu Qingxi certainly would not dissuade Xiao Yutang, but she would not watch him die in front of her eyes, so she also held the hilt of the sword and was ready to fight at any time.
Fortunately, what she was worried about did not happen. Faced with Xiao Yutang's resolute will to fight, the third elder of the Xiao family finally chose to give in.
"Third elder, can I go in?" Xiao Yutang turned around and asked Xiao Ningli lightly.
Although he did not show a smug and frivolous look because of forcing the third elder to retreat, he was like a different person at this time. The whole person was like a long sword unsheathed, revealing a terrifying edge.
At this point, Xiao Ningli certainly could not object anymore, and could only nod helplessly.
Gu Qingxi realized that she had not only misjudged Di Feixue, but also Xiao Yutang.
The second son of the Xiao family would only show his dog-licking side in front of Di Feixue, and would be submissive and cautious in front of her - of course, this was normal. Anyone who had seen her power or experienced her power personally, no matter how fierce or cold, would become warm, hospitable, gentle and considerate, and Xiao Yutang was no exception.
But in front of other people, when it was time to show his prowess, Xiao Yutang was sharp and sharp, more demonic than any other demon cultivator.
Gu Qingxi didn't know that Xiao Yutang had such a side, in fact, she also had some credit.
Although Xiao Yutang had a strong temperament in the past, he was a junior after all, and it was inevitable that he was in awe of elders like the third elder. In the past, it was actually difficult for him to muster up the courage to draw his sword in front of the third elder.
But it was different after experiencing the ruthless destruction of the Jiuli Mingxu Realm for a month. For a person who died more than ten or twenty times a day, and died for a month, who else in this world could make him feel awed?
Even if there was, it would definitely not be the third elder of the Xiao family.
"Qingxi, let's go." Just as Gu Qingxi was secretly sighing, Xiao Yutang spoke and made a gesture of invitation.
Gu Qingxi nodded and followed Xiao Yutang into the door.
On the opposite side, Xiao Yuhua and other juniors looked at Xiao Yutang, and their eyes showed unconcealed admiration.
That was the third elder of the Xiao family. Under his gaze, they didn't even have the courage to look up and look him in the face, but Xiao Yutang dared to draw his sword in front of him. What
shocked them the most was that the third elder was helpless with him and could only watch him swagger into the Xiao family.
It's no wonder that the Great Elder and several guardians of the clan insisted on making Brother Yutang the young master. When it comes to courage, Brother Yutang seems to be much stronger than Brother Yujin.
At the same time, in an attic diagonally opposite the gate, a young man stood by the window, looking at Xiao Yutang who walked in proudly, and then looked at the admiration on the faces of Xiao Yuhua and others, his face was so dark that ink could almost drip out.
He is Xiao Yutang's cousin, Xiao Yujin.
Gu Qingxi guessed correctly. The reason why he sent people to guard the door to check the identity was to give Xiao Yutang a warning, to make him suffer humiliation and lose his reputation.
What he hoped more was that Xiao Yutang could not bear the humiliation and attacked angrily. He had already told the third elder that if Xiao Yutang dared to attack without knowing his own strength, he would teach him a lesson in front of everyone.
Even if he didn't abolish his cultivation, he would make him lose face in front of other juniors, and never think of raising his head in the Xiao family again.
Now his wish was half fulfilled, Xiao Yutang really drew his sword, but to his disappointment, the Third Elder not only did not teach Xiao Yutang a lesson as agreed beforehand, but also bowed to him.
In this way, the plan he worked so hard to set not only did not cause any blow to Xiao Yutang, but also greatly increased his prestige. What on earth
was the Third Elder thinking? How could he convince the public and teach his descendants in the future if he bowed to a junior in front of so many people? Did he get kicked in the head by
a donkey? The more Xiao Yujin thought about it, the angrier he became. He really wanted to rush to the Third Elder and scold him.
"Too arrogant, this Xiao Yutang is too arrogant. It's fine to openly violate the ban, but he dared not even give the Third Elder face. Young Master, today's matter must not be let go. He must be taught a lesson and let him know who is the master of the Xiao family." A young man next to him said angrily.
His name is Xiao Yuquan, a distant relative of the Xiao family. Xiao Yujin saw that although he was mediocre in talent, he was quite clever, so he always kept him by his side to handle some trivial matters.
To put it bluntly, this Xiao Yuquan was Xiao Yujin's loyal lackey.
Xiao Yujin had done something that backfired, and was already full of anger, and he was even more angry when he heard him adding fuel to the fire.
"Okay, then go teach him a lesson?" Xiao Yujin said unhappily.
"Uh..." Xiao Yuquan shut up immediately.
He wanted to teach Xiao Yutang a lesson, but he needed to have the strength to do so. With his Golden Core Great Perfection, if he dared to provoke Xiao Yutang, he would be lucky if he didn't get beaten to a pulp. Teaching others a lesson was just a dream.
