A few minutes later, the group arrived at the reception room.
On the way, Xiao Chen also learned about Nangong Liang from Ning Kejun.
A master of the older generation, he is a master of the same era as Nangong Bufan and also Nangong Bufan’s cousin.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen looked at Nangong Liang for a few seconds. Cousin?
Why does he look older than Nangong Bufan?
Xiao Sheng, who got the news, also came in person. After all, Nangong Liang was an old senior, one generation older than him, so he couldn't be rude!
After drinking the tea, Nangong Liang looked at Xiao Chen, then at Xiao Sheng: "Master Xiao, we came to the Xiao family this time just for this girl. We didn't plan to show up..."
“Yes, Senior Nangong, you don’t need to explain. I understand.”
Xiao Sheng nodded and glanced at Xiao Chen. This boy... is quite popular with women!
I heard that he has many female confidantes?
But when he thought about his relationship with Xiao Chen, he sighed in his heart and wondered when the situation could improve.
"By the way, is Senior Xiao still in seclusion?"
Nangong Liang thought of something and asked.
"The ancestor has come out of retreat, but he is currently at Xiantian Peak. He should be here during the banquet."
Xiao Sheng replied.
"Oh? Then we should go and pay our respects to Senior Xiao."
Nangong Liang's eyes flickered slightly. The Xiao family's innate ancestor was actually alive!
It seems that the status of the Xiao family as one of the twelve great families can be preserved!
Then, he glanced at Xiao Chen again. Even if the Xiao family no longer had its pillar of support, this kid... could also become the new pillar of support!
Looking around the world, how many people in their twenties are half a step to the innate realm?
Not a single one!
At least, Nangong Liang had never heard of it!
Before, people said Xiao Chen was a "peerless genius", and he felt that the reputation was a bit overrated. But now it seems that the reputation is well-deserved!
A truly peerless genius, with unparalleled talent and brilliance, an existence that can suppress an entire era!
"Okay, then take a rest, I'll take you to Xiantian Peak."
Xiao Sheng thought about it and said.
"good."
Nangong Liang nodded, then turned to look at the Great Elder.
"Yangmu, when did you come?"
"It also arrived yesterday."
Yang Mu replied that he had also reached the great perfection of Hua Jin, and his status in the martial arts world was not much lower than Nangong Liang.
If there is a difference... Nangong Liang is from the Nangong family, while he is from Feiyunfang!
The twelve aristocratic families and second-rate forces will naturally have some impact on themselves.
"Senior Nangong and Senior Yang are here at the Xiao family. They must stay for a few more days so that I can fulfill my duty as a good host."
Xiao Sheng said with a smile.
"No, we are here because of the order of the headmaster. Since there is nothing else, we will not disturb you any more. It is time to go back."
Yang Mu shook his head and said.
"Yes, Master Xiao, we won't bother you any more."
Nangong Liang also nodded.
Both he and Yang Mu noticed that Xiao Chen hadn't said anything since Xiao Sheng showed up.
It seems that the rumors outside are that there is a conflict between them, father and son.
This time Xiao Chen returned to the Xiao family probably to resolve these conflicts, but I don’t know what happened.
In front of Xiao Sheng and Xiao Chen, they couldn't ask Ning Kejun and Nangong Ling.
"Half a year ago... I met Xiao Yunhong. Is he in the Xiao family now?"
Nangong Liang thought of something and asked.
"Xiao Yunhong..."
Xiao Sheng's face changed slightly and he didn't know what to say.
"He's gone."
Suddenly, Xiao Chen spoke.
"Um?"
Nangong Liang turned his head.
"Gone? Where did you go?"
"I killed him."
Xiao Chen chuckled.
"Senior Nangong wants to see him for something?"
“…”
Nangong Liang's eyes widened when he heard Xiao Chen's words.
Not only him, but also Yang Mu and others.
Xiao Chen killed Xiao Yunhong?
You know, Xiao Yunhong is also from the older generation. Although his strength is not as good as theirs, he is also somewhat famous in the ancient martial arts world. After all, he is from the Xiao family.
Now...dead?
Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Chen and frowned slightly. He shouldn't have said that at this time.
"You... killed Xiao Yunhong?"
Nangong Liang looked at Xiao Chen and couldn't believe it. According to seniority, Xiao Yunhong was Xiao Chen's elder.
"Yes, I came here yesterday and he wanted to kill me, but I ended up killing him."
Xiao Chen nodded.
“…”
Nangong Liang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
How come Xiao Chen said it so easily?
That was the elder of the Xiao family. Could he just kill him if he said so?
As one of the twelve aristocratic families, Nangong Liang also grew up in an aristocratic family and attaches great importance to the issue of seniority.
He couldn't imagine that Xiao Chen would kill Xiao Yunhong.
"Grandpa Liang..."
Nangong Ling was a little worried and spoke softly.
"Xiao Yunhong wanted to kill him, but he was killed. Isn't that normal?"
"Normal?"
Nangong Liang widened his eyes. Do all young people nowadays think like this?
But he looked at Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lin again, and finally shook his head without saying anything more.
Even the Xiao family has no objection to this matter, so what can he say?
But in his heart, he had a better understanding of Xiao Chen. This kid... was really as cruel and ruthless as the rumors said!
Since they met just now, before Xiao Sheng arrived, this boy had a smile on his face all the time.
At that time, Nangong Liang felt that this person did not seem like a cruel and ruthless person who was decisive in killing.
Now... he believed it.
The only thing that made him wonder was, was there no one in the Xiao family who tried to stop it?
Didn’t they say that Xiao Mian, who was half a step away from being innate, had come out of seclusion?
Others can’t stop it, and Xiao Mian can’t stop it either?
Then he thought of Xiao Yi again. Could it be that the innate ancestor of the Xiao family came out of seclusion just for Xiao Chen?
"Well, how about we go to Xiantian Peak?"
Xiao Lin spoke, and the atmosphere became a bit depressing.
"Yes, let's go to Xiantian Peak. Senior Nangong, Senior Yang, and everyone else... please."
Xiao Sheng also stood up.
"Um."
Nangong Liang and Yang Mu nodded. They were also a little restless.
"Xiao Chen, you guys shouldn't go."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Chen and said to him.
"Okay, then I won't accompany the seniors."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Uncle Seven will definitely entertain you all."
"You kid..."
After Nangong Liang and the others left, Xiao Lin glared at Xiao Chen. He definitely did it on purpose!
"hehe."
Xiao Chen smiled and shrugged.
"Uncle Qi, please go and accompany him. He is here to help me after all."
"You still know?"
Xiao Lin glared at Xiao Chen again and left.
"You shouldn't have said that."
Suddenly, Ning Kejun said to Xiao Chen.
"How can these older generations stand this? It will have a bad influence on you."
"Even if I don't tell them, they will know. There is no need to hide some things."
Xiao Chen shook his head. He didn't care what others thought of him at all. As long as he had a clear conscience, that was all that mattered.
"Ling'er, didn't you know that Senior Nangong was coming?"
Xiao Chen looked at Nangong Ling and asked.
"I don't know. It wasn't him who contacted me."
Nangong Ling shook her head.
"All right."
Xiao Chen nodded. He still owed Nangong Bufan a favor for this matter.
Half an hour later, the group came down from Xiantian Peak.
What surprised Xiao Chen was that, in addition to Xiao Yi, there were actually a few unfamiliar faces he had never seen before.
"Uncle Qi, who are these?"
Xiao Chen asked in a low voice.
"Because we are going to have a meeting of the elders, all those who were in seclusion have come out... They are all from the older generation of the Xiao family, and I am not very familiar with some of them."
Xiao Lin explained to Xiao Chen.
"Oh, okay, are there any innate masters?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"What are you thinking? Do you think Xiantian is cabbage? Is Xiantian the one who comes out of seclusion?"
Xiao Lin rolled his eyes.
"I heard that Xiao Qian is almost half a step into the Xiantian realm. He hasn't come out of retreat yet. As for the others... the strongest one is probably at the Great Perfection of Huajin."
After saying this, Xiao Lin was shocked. Oh no, when did I become so carried away by this kid?
What does it mean... it means the great perfection of Hua Jin!
The great perfection of Hua Jin is definitely the top combat power in the ancient martial arts world. Why is it that now in his eyes, it seems to be nothing?
You can't do this, it's too arrogant. You have to wait until you are at least half a step away from being a innate person before you can think like this!
"Oh, that's not so good."
As Xiao Lin was reflecting on himself, Xiao Chen nodded, his tone very casual, even a little disappointed.
"You have reached the Great Perfection of Transformation, so why are you in seclusion... your talent must be so poor."
“…”
After hearing what Xiao Chen said, Xiao Lin looked at him and decided to stay away from this guy in the future!
He was afraid that if this continued, he would be influenced by this kid and would not even take the Half-Step Innate Realm seriously.
Just as they were talking, Xiao Yi came over.
"Boy, you have good relationships with people. People from the Nangong family and Feiyunfang have come. If they had done something to you yesterday, would they have come to kill the Xiao family?"
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Chen with a smile on his face.
"Well, Lao Xiao, can I say that I don't know either?"
Xiao Chen coughed dryly.
"In fact, I am enough."
“…”
Xiao Yi glared at Xiao Chen. This boy was too arrogant. What he meant was that one person could sweep the Xiao family?
But think about it, if he wasn't there, Xiao Chen could really sweep the Xiao family alone.
Not far away, Nangong Liang, Yang Mu and others were slightly shocked when they saw Xiao Yi and Xiao Chen talking and laughing.
It seems... Xiao Chen's return to the Xiao family is inevitable.
This can be seen from Xiao Yi's attitude.
Xiao Yi called a few old men and introduced them to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen's attitude was just average, neither good nor bad, and even not as good as when he faced Nangong Liang and Yang Mu.
The old men seemed to know something as well. They didn't care about Xiao Chen's attitude at all and kept smiling.
Seeing them like this, Xiao Chen didn't know what to do. It's a good idea not to hit someone who smiles at you. After all, they are elders of the Xiao family.
As for Xiao Bo and others, they stayed far away and were just looking for trouble.
"I heard that Fourth Uncle is about to reach the half-step innate level? When will he come out of retreat?"
Xiao Wei asked Xiao Bo.
"have no idea."
Xiao Bo shook his head.
"Even if he comes out of retreat, it won't do anything. A half-step innate person can't suppress Xiao Chen."
"Yes, it seems... I can only rely on myself."
Xiao Wei gritted his teeth and decided that he had to save himself, otherwise he would die.
Especially the scene before him, which made him feel a sense of crisis. He could tell something from the attitudes of these elders who had come out of confinement towards Xiao Chen.
When it comes to sacrificing them and allowing Xiao Chen to return to the Xiao family, these old guys are definitely capable of doing it!
