Chapter 214 Entrustment
Seeing his friend being so responsible, Xiao Wuwei felt deeply in agreement. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is one of the reasons why the Yun family can stand firm!
"Brother Yun, have you ever received an anonymous letter?" Xiao Wuwei suddenly thought of something and looked at Yun Reyue and asked.
"Anonymous letter?" Yun Reyue looked at Xiao Wuwei in confusion and shook her head: "What anonymous letter? I have never received one."
Xiao Wuwei frowned and said, "Maybe it was someone's prank! A few days ago, I received an anonymous letter, which mentioned that there were demon cultivators in Yaochi."
Upon hearing the news, Yun Reyue was slightly stunned, but quickly regained her composure. He smiled and said, "Well, how could there be a demon cultivator? The demons became extinct ten thousand years ago."
Xiao Wuwei nodded, looking somewhat nonchalant.
"Since the Yun family has not received such news, it means that this letter is most likely just a prank. After all, the legend about the demon cultivator has been circulating for too long, and no one can be sure of its authenticity."
Just as the two were talking, a disciple in white came in from outside, bowed respectfully to Xiao Wuwei and reported.
"Master, the three masters Jian, Wang, and Liu want to see you."
When Xiao Wuwei heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. These three family heads seldom come to visit on their own initiative on ordinary days, but today they came together and no one knows why.
He nodded and said, "Please ask them to come to the hall!"
The white-robed disciple responded and turned to leave. Yun Reyue and Xiao Wuwei looked at each other, and Xiao Wuwei stood up and said.
"Brother Yun, why don't we go over and take a look together?"
Yun Reyue gladly accepted it, and the two of them walked towards the hall together.
When they arrived at the hall, they exchanged brief greetings with the three family heads, Jian, Wang, and Liu, and then sat down.
"I wonder what the three family heads are doing here together this time?"
Xiao Wuwei sat in the first seat, looking at them with a smile on his face.
"Master Xiao."
After the three family heads looked at each other, Family Head Jian bowed and said to Xiao Wuwei.
"We all received an anonymous letter a few days ago, which clearly stated that there are demonic cultivators in the hidden family. Although we don't know whether this is true or not, it is of great importance, so we discussed asking the head of the Xiao family if he knows about it."
"Oh, you all received anonymous letters too?"
Xiao Wuwei leaned forward unconsciously.
"Yes, could it be that Patriarch Xiao also received it?"
Xiao Wuwei nodded slowly, and the three family heads couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Xiao Wuwei pondered in silence for a moment before speaking.
"When I first received the anonymous letter, I thought it was a prank. Now that everyone has received it, there must be something fishy going on."
"Master Xiao, if this is true, what should we do?"
The three family heads couldn't help feeling a little uneasy when they heard Xiao Wuwei say this.
There are almost no talented people in their family. They are all good-for-nothings who rely on the family's protection.
"Hey, now that the news of the demon cultivators' presence has not been confirmed, the first thing we have to do is to improve our own strength and discipline the disciples in our family to go out as little as possible."
"Another thing is to improve the defense mechanism in the family and increase patrol posts. Disciples should also be motivated and not sit at home doing nothing and waiting to die. Otherwise, if there are really evil cultivators, you will be wiped out."
After Xiao Wuwei finished speaking, the three family heads all looked pale.
"Master Xiao, can you send some disciples to take charge of the house?"
The head of the Wang family had a bitter look on his face. The younger generation in his family was arrogant and extravagant, and had long lost the tenacious spirit of the immortal cultivation family.
Xiao Wuwei looked at the head of the Wang family with a smile.
"Master Wang, you are so arrogant. Your disciples are so noble. You want to order my Xiao family members around. Do you want my Xiao family disciples to work for those playboys in your family?"
"Master Xiao, it's a misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding!"
Patriarch Wang’s face turned pale and he apologized repeatedly.
"I spoke without thinking, I hope Master Xiao will not mind."
The other two family heads also had this idea in mind. Apart from anything else, all the disciples of the Xiao family were brave and good at fighting.
If they could ask the head of the Xiao family to send a few people to protect their home, they would feel much more at ease.
But seeing that the head of the Wang family had suffered a setback, he did not dare to speak out even if he had any plans in mind.
"Okay, Xiao will not keep the three family heads here. Since there are signs of demon cultivators appearing, I will also make arrangements to prepare for a rainy day. From now on, everyone will take care of their own business. If there are really demon cultivators appearing, it will depend on your abilities."
Xiao Wuwei sneered and picked up the teacup.
"Then we'll take our leave first."
Seeing that they could not gain any benefits from the Xiao family, the three family heads could only say goodbye and leave in embarrassment.
Yun Reyue sat aside without saying a word. Only when he saw the three people walking away did he speak.
"Brother Xiao, could it be that what the anonymous letter said is true?"
Xiao Wuwei took a sip of tea and sighed.
"Brother Yun, I think this is almost certain. I just don't know who the person who sent the letter is. Otherwise, I will definitely ask him for clarification."
"We, the hermit clan, have been safe and sound for thousands of years. Are we going to be in turmoil again?"
Yun Reyue couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Wuwei pondered for a moment, seemed to have thought of something, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Yun, there have been frequent disappearances in your Yao Chi, and this may be related to the demon cultivators. Rumor has it that the demon cultivators rely on the blood, flesh and essence of the immortal cultivators to improve their cultivation. You can investigate in this direction when you go back this time."
"Brother Xiao, what you said makes sense."
Yun Reyue nodded silently, feeling extremely depressed.
"Hey, I just don't know why there are demon cultivators in Yaochi?"
The hall suddenly fell silent. Xiao Wuwei and Yun Reyue were both deep in thought, each with their own thoughts.
"Father, Uncle Yun."
At this moment, Xiao Ze brought Yun Piaomiao into the hall.
"oh."
The two of them finally came to their senses, and Xiao Wuwei smiled.
"Ze'er, Miao'er is here. Miao'er, did your senior brother entertain you well?"
"Uncle Xiao, Senior Brother Xiao took me to the market and bought me a lot of fun things."
Yun Piaomiao answered softly, with a hint of cuteness on her face.
"Hahaha, that's good. I was also worried that Ze'er was so cold to others, and I was afraid that he would treat you badly."
"How could that be? Uncle Xiao, Senior Brother Xiao is very good at taking care of people."
Yun Reyue was very happy to see her daughter smiling and more lively than usual.
"Miao'er, I just talked to your uncle Xiao and asked you to stay here for a few days. I'm going to go back and take care of some things. I'll come and take you home when I'm done."
Yun Piaomiao's heart was slightly moved, and she felt softened for a moment when Yun Reyue said "go home".
“Father, why do you want me to stay at Uncle Xiao’s house for a few days?”
"Why."
Yun Reyue let out a long sigh, with a hint of melancholy on her gentle and soft face.
"Miao'er, as you know, Yaochi has been a little bit uneasy these days. I'm afraid you'll be in danger if you stay at home, so I asked your uncle Xiao to look after you for a few days. Your grandparents disappeared for no reason, and your father can't put you in danger."
