About half an hour later, Li Hanhou came with Xiong Zhuyu.
Not only the two of them, but Ye Ziyi also came.
"Zi Yi, why are you here?"
Xiao Chen looked at Ye Ziyi, somewhat surprised.
"I just met them in the restaurant and came to take a look."
Ye Ziyi said this, asking with her eyes - what is going on?
"oh oh."
Xiao Chen blinked his eyes. This is a good situation. There is hope!
"Jewel, how are you feeling today?"
"Master Xiao, I feel much better now."
Xiong Zhuyu replied.
"Your medical skills are amazing."
"Haha, it's okay."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Come, sit down, and I'll show you again."
"Um."
Xiong Zhuyu nodded and sat down.
Bai Ye and the others looked at Li Hanhou, asking with their eyes how they were getting along just now.
"Xiaobai, what happened to your eyes?"
Li Hanhou looked at them and asked curiously.
"ah?"
"That's... a little dry."
"Yes, Brother Chen, please show us later to see if you are suffering from acclimatization. Why are your eyes so dry and sore?"
Bai Ye and the others tried to cover it up, cursing in their hearts, "This idiot."
"Haha, maybe it's due to acclimatization."
Xiao Chen smiled and put his hand on Xiong Zhuyu's wrist.
"Zhu Yu, my brother is a bit honest and straightforward. If he doesn't take good care of you, please don't take it to heart."
"Yeah, he's fine."
Xiong Zhuyu glanced at Li Hanhou and said.
“It gives people a very down-to-earth feeling.”
"Really? Haha, they say that only lovers can see each other's strengths."
Xiao Chen made a joke. This kind of appropriate joke could help Li Hanhou and Xiong Zhuyu get into the mood faster.
Sure enough, after hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiong Zhuyu blushed and stopped talking.
"Zhu Yu, you are in very good physical condition. After a night's rest, your injuries have recovered well..."
Xiao Chen stopped joking and changed the subject.
"It's because Patriarch Xiao has superb medical skills... and there is healing medicine, which is very useful."
Xiong Zhuyu said.
"Speaking of which, I have to thank Sect Master Xiao."
"Haha, we're one family, why thank me?"
Xiao Chen smiled.
"Look, I've already called you 'Zhu Yu', so you should stop calling me 'Master Xiao' all the time. Just call me 'Brother Chen' like Da Han does."
"This...Okay, Brother Chen."
After a slight hesitation, Xiong Zhuyu nodded.
After all, she is cheerful and not pretentious.
Although her strength is far inferior to Xiao Chen's, their ages are similar.
"Um."
Xiao Chen smiled even more broadly. This thing has a high probability of success.
Afterwards, he gave Xiong Zhuyu acupuncture to help her recover faster.
After about ten minutes, Xiao Chen withdrew the needle: "Feel it."
"Much better, thank you Brother Chen."
Xiong Zhuyu felt it and said in surprise.
“I can hardly feel the pain anymore.”
"Haha, I've already told you, you don't need to thank people like me."
Xiao Chen smiled and looked at Li Hanhou.
"Da Han, you were the one who hurt Zhu Yu, so you have to take responsibility, understand?"
"How to be responsible?"
Li Hanhou asked doubtfully.
And Xiong Zhuyu widened his eyes, responsible?
No way?
So fast?
"Haha, don't get me wrong, I am responsible for taking care of you."
Xiao Chen saw Xiong Zhuyu's reaction and said with a smile.
“…”
No matter how red Xiong Zhuyu's face turns, is this the responsibility?
"Oh, I will take good care of Pearl."
Li Hanhou nodded.
"hehe."
Xiao Chen and the others all laughed. Who said this guy was stupid... Look, he's already calling her 'Pearl and Jade'. He's not stupid at all.
"It's almost time, we should go over there."
After chatting for a few sentences, Ye Ziyi looked at the time and said.
"good."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Da Han, go to Lao Xiao and take the things with you..."
"good."
Li Hanhou responded and went out.
Afterwards, the group left the guest room and headed to the martial arts arena.
Today's ceremony of recognizing ancestors is held next to the martial arts field... the ancestral hall is also there.
After hearing this, Xiao Chen was a little surprised. How could the ancestral hall be next to the martial arts field?
Nangong Yuan said that he wanted the ancestors of the Nangong family to see generation after generation of the Nangong family practicing martial arts... If their spirits are in heaven, they would also be very pleased.
This statement made Xiao Chen stunned, but after thinking about it again, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
"What's going on?"
Xiao Yi looked at Li Hanhou and Xiong Zhuyu and asked in a low voice.
"I heard that Xiong Jingang wanted to preach during the meal?"
"The statement is false, but I really want to see how strong Li Hanhou is."
Xiao Chen smiled and explained briefly.
"This guy... is quite cunning."
After listening, Xiao Yi muttered.
"They say that a simple mind means strong limbs... His limbs are so strong, but his mind is not simple at all."
“Haha, I didn’t react at that time.”
Xiao Chen smiled.
"What a fate! Even after fighting and vomiting blood, we can still talk and laugh..."
Xiao Yi looked at him a few more times and smiled as well.
"The silly boy's fate has come."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded.
As the group was talking, they came to the martial arts arena.
At this time, there were already quite a few people here, chatting in groups of three or five.
The martial arts arena is not small, and there are quite a few people coming. It is also decorated with lights and looks very festive.
"Humph, what is the Nangong family going to do? Are they going to hold a wedding for Xiao Chen and Ling girl here?"
Ye Tianlong was a little unhappy and said to Ye Jing next to him.
"Brother is right, it's too ostentatious... Our Ye family doesn't do that, right?"
Ye Jing said, holding back his laughter.
"How about this, you talk to Xiao Chen and ask him to go to the Ye family again, and we can also have a big party."
"You old man, were you bribed by Xiao Chen?"
Ye Tianlong looked at Ye Jing with sidelong eyes, unhappily.
"Hahaha, no no."
Ye Jing laughed.
"Brother, calm down. We are all here now. Let's see what tricks the Nangong family can play."
"Um."
Ye Tianlong nodded.
"Just wait and see."
"Xiao Chen is here, let's go and say hello."
Ye Jing looked in one direction and said.
"Why, as an elder, I have to take the initiative to greet him?"
Ye Tianlong stared.
"Shouldn't he come to me?"
"Yes, yes, yes... But the Xiao family's ancestors are here, we should say hello to them, right?"
Ye Jing was helpless.
"Okay, we are going to say hello to the ancestors of the Xiao family. Don't pay attention to that kid Xiao Chen."
Ye Tianlong nodded, put his hands behind his back, and walked over.
"hehe."
Ye Jing looked at Ye Tianlong's back, smiled, and quickly followed.
"Ancestor Xiao..."
When he came closer, Ye Tianlong smiled.
"Well, Tianlong, where is Ye Xing?"
Xiao Yi nodded and asked.
"Chatting with someone over there."
Ye Tianlong answered, feeling a little uncomfortable.
If it weren't for the older generation like Xiao Yi, he would be considered an older generation in the martial arts world.
Who calls him 'Tianlong' on weekdays?
"Master Ye..."
Xiao Chen noticed that Ye Jing winked at him. He was stunned at first, but then he reacted and walked forward with a smile and greeted him respectfully.
"Mr. Ye? Why, when you call me someone, you call me Grandpa, but when you call me old man, you call me Mr. Ye?"
Ye Tianlong looked at Xiao Chen and said lightly.
"Why, the closeness is different?"
"How can that be possible? I will shout whatever you tell me to shout."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"If we really want to talk about closeness... I always call you 'Old Xiao', which is the most intimate name. How about I call you 'Old Ye'?"
“…”
Ye Tianlong wanted to curse, but when he thought of Xiao Yi next to him, he held back.
"Haha, it's just a title. I'll call you 'Grandpa' from now on."
Xiao Chen said.
"You know, I wouldn't call him that even if he's an old fortune teller."
"Humph, didn't you say it? It's just a name."
Ye Tianlong snorted, but he was very happy in his heart.
Soon, people came over to greet Xiao Chen, calling him "Master Xiao" one after another.
Xiao Chen responded one by one, exchanging a few words with everyone he knew and didn't know, familiar and unfamiliar.
By the time Jiang Lingyun and his group of big men arrived, Xiao Chen's face had already frozen with laughter.
"Sect Master Jiang, we are all very familiar with each other, so there is no need to laugh, right? I am already laughing so hard that I am frozen."
Xiao Chen wiped his face twice and said.
"hehe."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Jiang Lingyun and others laughed.
"Master Xiao, you are also a big boss now, there is no need for that."
"That's right, you have to have the proper airs."
"Alas...it's different. After all, I'm younger and younger in seniority."
Xiao Chen sighed.
"Strength doesn't match age."
“…”
The smiles of Jiang Lingyun and others froze. Why did this sound wrong?
Is this showing off?
They looked at each other and changed the subject.
We can't continue this topic any further.
Xiao Chen noticed that very few people came to greet Jiang Lingyun and the others.
At least one must be half a step into the innate realm to be able to do this, and none of the casual cultivators who are half a step into the innate realm have made it.
Obviously, the status of Jiang Lingyun and others still makes the group of independent cultivators feel quite pressured.
Even though... they are already very strong.
Xiao Chen thought about it and felt that there was no need to put on airs or create any persona. He was not very old and it would not be good for him to act superior.
What's more... he also has a dream of becoming the leader of the martial arts world.
There are so many people paying attention to every move.
More than ten minutes later, people from the Nangong family arrived.
Xiao Chen looked around and didn't see Nangong Ling. Even Ye Ziyi, who had come with them just now, was gone.
As the people from the Nangong family appeared and exchanged brief greetings, the auspicious time had almost arrived.
"Open the door."
As the innate ancestor of the Nangong family, Nangong Ting's status is undoubtedly the highest.
After he finished speaking, the vermilion lacquered door of the ancestral hall slowly opened.
Xiao Chen looked carefully and saw that the space inside was not small, and he could see tablets one by one.
These are the ancestors of the Nangong family.
Nangong Ting walked in slowly, lit some incense, and knelt down respectfully.
"Looking for our ancestors, returning to our clan..."
Xiao Yi said slowly.
"Come to think of it, when you returned to the Xiao family, there were still a lot of missing procedures."
"It's just a procedure. I get the point."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Yi and said.
"How can this be the same? You young people all care about the sense of ceremony, but our ancestors don't care about it?"
Xiao Yi stared.
"I'll make it up next time."
"Ah? Make it up next time? Do you want to kick me out and make me recognize it again? Or what?"
Xiao Chen was stunned and asked.
