Chapter 622: Different Guests, Different Etiquette



As the huge forest wall moved from under him to behind him, Xia Xiao saw more towns. But the three of them were going to a big city, which was incomparable to these small wells and remote fields.

Jian Qiu still didn't quite understand the elder's idea. Even if the two people who invaded the barrier had special identities, they shouldn't be taken back like this. If they were prisoners, they shouldn't be so free and easy. If they were entertaining guests, it seemed too careless.

The weaker the family, the less they dared to neglect etiquette and lose their temper, because if they failed to follow etiquette, this family, which was not particularly strong to begin with, would label them as weak and deserved it. But this time, the approach was a little strange, but Xia Xiao was a strange person, and Jian Qiu had no accurate understanding of it.

As a divine messenger, he must understand the sun, moon, stars, clouds, and winds, and must also understand family politics and many important matters. Although Jian Qiu had just taken up his new position and had not yet taken over the family's burden, other families had already known about it. He felt that he had a lot of knowledge, but one person could master the complete five elements. In his mind, there was only the emperor Yu Shangyan from a long time ago.

The era when Yu Shangyan existed was too far away. At that time, mankind was still a whole. Daxia, Nanshang, and Yunguo were all small titles at that time, not enough to be called a country. But after so many years, the Human Emperor who came from nowhere came to Yunguo, which was both a blessing and a curse.

Jian Qiu did not have the habit of being stubborn and self-willed, and he quickly attributed his lack of understanding to incompetence. He was not considered outstanding among the divine messengers of the various families, and now it seemed that his status was even lower. In judging a person, in addition to the vitality and strength of cultivation, one must also look at the amount of knowledge and knowledge reserves. Only when both are up to par can he be called a qualified divine messenger.

While cheering himself up, he hurried on and soon arrived. The area controlled by the Jian family was already narrow, so this time was normal. The central city of this family was in a city called Jiuling. When the three of them returned, they did not cause much commotion. Instead, someone passed by them at high speed, like a show of power and also like a warning. But Xia Xiao's face was still good, and he didn't care. He followed Jian Qiu with Ah Zhu and entered a palace that was nothing special.

Jian Qiu's previous comment that the Jian family was one of the eight major families was the most objective evaluation. Xia Xiao now understood that the luxury of a family could be seen from the way they entertained guests. But the simplicity of this place was what Xia Xiao liked the most, so as to avoid some awkward ceremonies. He didn't know what to do when he stretched out his hand. It was not good to ask, and it was not good not to ask.

"Please take a seat."

Jian Qiu stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, and sat down at the side of the hall. The incapable divine messenger still had to obey the orders and commands of the old divine messenger, but the latter had changed his name and was called the elder.

Even though human culture varies from country to country, many aspects are similar. In addition, there are tea, cakes and ceremonial dances when entertaining guests. Although it is a bit complicated, the women here are generally tall, which made Xia Xiao look at them a few more times. Ah Zhu was unhappy and coughed a few times, which made him look innocent, as if he was just admiring before and definitely had no intention of coveting.

Xia Xiao thought that this kind of ceremony was pretty good, but if people from other big families came, it would definitely be a thousand times more luxurious, and they wanted to stuff gold into their mouths to leave a good impression. But for Xia Xiao, they only did a good job on the surface, because they wanted to get some information from Xia Xiao.

"Sorry for the wait."

As soon as the voice fell, an elder arrived. Compared to the solemn and serious title of God's Messenger, the old man was extremely kind and had a smile on his face, which made Xia Xiao feel a little favorable at first sight. Although one cannot judge a person by appearance, some people seem kind at first sight, so he also grinned and stood up to salute.

Seeing Xia Xiao's enthusiasm, Jian Qiu, who also stood up, frowned slightly. Is he really not afraid? Now they are deep in the enemy's lair. Compared with Xia Xiao's attitude, Ah Zhu is more relaxed. Her smiling face makes people feel like a spring breeze, as if the sun is shining, the years are peaceful, and there is nothing to worry about.

"I heard that Master Xia can control the five elements. Could he be the son of prophecy mentioned by the Human Emperor?"

"The old senior is very knowledgeable. This kind of news is not easy to know in Yun Country."

Xia Xiao admitted it in disguise, and the elder quickly asked him to sit down and talked to him about something Jian Qiu had never heard of. He wanted to listen carefully, but he glanced at Ah Zhu, and his heartbeat accelerated. After sitting down, he was distracted and began to think wildly. He shouldn't have this reaction. After confirming that he was a divine messenger, the ceremony held by the family broke his emotional roots, but why did he still have this feeling?

Jian Qiu had never been in love, but she vaguely felt that this feeling was a romantic one, so she was worried about being kicked out of the position she had been fighting for since birth. Ah Zhu didn't react much, nor did she care, but she thought Jian Qiu was a little strange, but according to her concept, a messenger of God should be different from ordinary people, and indifference was normal.

A buzzing sound appeared in Jian Qiu's mind, which made him perk up and look at the elder and Xia Xiao. The latter was answering questions related to what they had been paying attention to.

"Although I have been staying on land, I have not been exposed to this matter for a long time, but I have heard about it whether in the academy, in the south of the South China Sea, or in the east of the East China Sea."

Jian Qiu didn't understand this sentence, but the elder nodded slightly, obviously knowing what Xia Xiao mentioned. In fact, they all knew what they knew, and they didn't know what they didn't know, such as the academy, but it didn't matter. They didn't care about the academy, let alone Xia Xiao. But the latter said it very powerfully, because if he wanted to stay here, he had to use some means.

"Historically, the Human Emperor Yu Shangyan has become a god. But during this period, the legendary Emperor Qishi and the Wild Beast King Quedan appeared one after another, either implicitly or directly saying that she did not become a god, but was imprisoned."

"Even if the Yun Kingdom is under blockade, the Human Emperor is still the strongest in the history of the Great Wilderness. No one will surpass him during this period of time, right?"

"Of course not."

"Such a strong man was imprisoned by a true god?"

"I don't know yet, but the purpose of my coming here is to determine where she is imprisoned."

Ah Zhu looked at Xia Xiao, without exposing him, but with curiosity. What these people wanted to know was the location of the ancestor of the spiritual contract. Although they didn't know why, Xia Xiao told them directly, how could they stay? Que Dan sent him here without interfering, so he had to think about himself.

"Any clues? We can help you."

"Of course there are clues, but can I stay?"

Xia Xiao started to perform again. This man with a changeable personality always surprises people. Behind the questioning look in his eyes, there is a hint of expectation. But the elder knew what he meant, but he didn't expect that this young man, who looked young, had such a deep mind. Moreover, his aura was just as Jian Qiu said, and he couldn't detect the slightest bit.

The matter of the Human Emperor was a big deal. It could help Yun Country advance several steps in the direction of exploration it was committed to, and it could also help his Jian family improve its status among the major families. If they really found the location of the Human Emperor, they might be able to get rid of this barren southeastern border, but it was not certain whether the two outsiders in front of them could stay in Yun Country for a long time.

"I have the mark of the Human Emperor on me, so I can master the complete five elements. I am confident that I can find it. I hope you can give me a deadline to stay in Yun Country."

"I can't make the decision on this matter."

The elder felt that Xia Xiao was more and more cunning. Since this guy would threaten him like this, he must be extraordinary. He must have come from the place on the land that is best at training counselors, otherwise he would not have said that. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was threatening.

There was some confidence between Xia Xiao's words, which made the elder silent for a long time. This kind of thing was not a joke. He originally thought that these two young guys would speak their minds without any guarantee. After all, in such an unfamiliar environment and with such unfamiliar people, they would not be honest. But Xia Xiao started a business. If you want to get his things, you must pay enough price. At least Xia Xiao feels balanced.

"Think about it again, old senior. I think you can get the power to keep us if you ask for instructions!"

Xia Xiao didn't care why Yun Country was discussing the origin of the spiritual contract. They were a group of charlatans who had been exploring things related to gods for generations. He only cared about his own purpose. As long as he could find evidence that the origin of the spiritual contract was on the moon, he could confirm many things. Que Dan would not use any tricks to send him here. He still thought it was to make him see some things clearly.

The elder thought about it and did not make a decision immediately. But he knew that if he reported the truth, Xia Xiao would definitely be able to stay, but there would be a time limit. He had to compress the time so that Xia Xiao could improve his efficiency, so he said:

"Is a week enough?"

"Too short."

“This is the limit of what I can strive for.”

"The elder is being modest."

"Yun Country has been under blockade for generations after all."

For someone who has experienced many ups and downs, every little movement and look is a drama, just one award away. At this time, the elder was very firm in his position. Although Xia Xiao and he were in the same hall, they each had their own thoughts, and each was thinking about what was beneficial to him. People are like this, it is not strange, and they finally reached an agreement.

"If her whereabouts are not found within a week, please be lenient with her."

"Please stay in a quiet place and devote yourself to finding the Human Emperor."

"I will definitely live up to your expectations, but I have something to ask you."

"You can just say it."

"If there are people with unusual powers, will Yun Nation take them in?"

"Yun Country has all kinds of people, you can stay here without any worries."

After the elder finished speaking, Xia Xiao smiled generously. If he was really heroic, then he would not be polite. Anyway, he had said everything he should say. What happened next would depend on fate. After the elder finished speaking, Xia Xiao smiled generously. If he was really heroic, then he would not be polite.
