Outside the Qu family’s gate, an old man in a white robe and eight young men suddenly appeared.
Because their breath was very unfamiliar to the Qu family guards, the Qu family guards guarding the gate subconsciously drew their swords and pointed them at Zong Renwu and his group.
"Who is coming?!"
Zong Renwu smiled calmly and said, "Envoys from Qiongtian, we wish to see your family's head."
When they heard the words "envoy from the sky", the expressions of the guards of the Qu family changed. The leading guard immediately gave a look to the guard next to him, asking him to go back and report the matter to the head of the family.
The guard hurried back.
The leading guard gave a hypocritical smile and said, "Please wait a moment."
The clan member nodded indifferently without any expression.
Many cultivators on the street, upon hearing Zong Renwu claim to be envoys from the sky, looked at each other in confusion and then stayed where they were, wondering if they were envoys from the sky. If they were, what would the Qu family do?
There are also many spies from other forces watching in the dark.
"Dean, will they come out?" The handsome young man with a high ponytail saw this, then turned his head to look at the calm and composed white-haired old man.
"No." A faint smile crossed Zong Renwu's lips.
Mo Jing frowned and said incomprehensibly, "Then why are we waiting here? Why don't we just go in directly?"
Yun Zheng looked up at the Qu family's plaque and said with a smile, "Just barging in is completely different from the concept of using courtesy first and then force. We are treating each other with courtesy now, but if the other party deliberately treats us coldly, then we will have reason to lose our temper."
Mo Jing suddenly realized, "I see."
Zong Renwu was very satisfied with his apprentice's ability to understand.
"Do you understand?" Mo Jing suddenly turned around and asked Yu Qiu and others. He regretted it as soon as he said it, because they all looked at him with an expression that said, "I already understood it, but you don't."
Mo Jing: “…”
Feng Xinglan's handsome face was indifferent, as if he understood everything. But in fact, that was not the case, because he was in a state of half-understanding.
On the other side, inside the Qu family.
The guard hurriedly reported to the head of the Qu family about the sudden appearance of nine messengers from the sky outside the door.
After hearing this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in the eyes of the head of the Qu family. They actually came to his house in person to seek humiliation, so he would oblige them.
The head of the Qu family looked disdainful and waved his hand indifferently.
"Don't worry about them. Leave them alone for a few hours. If they leave on their own, that's fine. But if they're still outside the Qu family's gate after a few hours, tell them that the head of the family has already gone out to make arrangements to welcome the envoys from Qiongtian."
The guard was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then responded respectfully: "Yes, Master."
After the guards left, the hook-nosed old man withdrew his gaze and sneered at the head of the Qu family, "I didn't expect that the people from Qiongtian were so capable that they could find this place in such a short time."
"Even if we find this place, so what?!"
The head of the Qu family said in a deep voice, not taking them seriously at all. He smiled and said, "Although my Qu family is not a top force in Shouyun Continent, have you ever heard the saying that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake?"
The old man with the hooked nose smiled and said, "The Patriarch is right."
The head of the Qu family was obviously in a much happier mood after being complimented. He summoned a secret guard and asked him to keep an eye on every move outside the door.
Outside the Qu family’s gate.
More and more people on the street stopped and couldn't help but look at Zong Renwu and his group. The main reason was that their temperament and appearance were too outstanding, which immediately caught everyone's attention.
After learning that this group of people were envoys from Qiongtian, everyone became even more curious about them.
A young man frowned and said, "I remember that the Qu family was the one who drew the mission to welcome the Sky Envoy. But what's going on now? Why did the Sky Envoy come to the Qu family on their own initiative? Also, there can't be only nine Sky Envoys?!"
What the young man said hit the nail on the head with everyone's doubts.
Soon, they were attracted by another topic.
"Is this the young genius of Qiongtian?"
"That's right. They do have good looks, but their cultivation is a bit lower than the young geniuses of our Shouyun Continent."
"No way, how could that girl in red only have the cultivation level of the early Yuanzun realm? Could she also be attending the exchange meeting? If so, tsk tsk, how bad would Qiongtian be?!"
"Don't forget that a hundred years ago, the young geniuses of Qiongtian were at the bottom of the list."
"Hahaha, luckily the people from Qiongtian aren't ugly, otherwise they would be really useless. They would definitely be at the bottom this time."
These discussions naturally fell into the ears of Zongren Wuyu and Fengyun team.
Zong Renwu seemed accustomed to these taunts and took them lightly, not affected at all. What surprised him was that Xiao Yunzheng and the other eight also looked calm, as if they hadn't heard the mocking and contemptuous voices.
There was a hint of smile in Zongrenwu's eyes.
At this time, the guard who went to report hurried back, then came to the side of the captain of the guards and whispered a few words.
Upon hearing this, the captain of the guards saw Zong Renwu and his group becoming increasingly contemptuous. He took a few steps forward, his right hand lazily resting on his scabbard. He looked down at them and smiled, saying, "Our master is not in the mansion right now. He may be back in a while. You can just wait here."
"Are you telling the truth?" Yun Zheng suddenly asked with a smile.
The captain of the guards looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl whose beauty seemed real and illusory, which made people's hearts shrink inexplicably. Coupled with her sweet smile and serious eyes, it was hard not to like her.
However, when he realized that the girl's cultivation was only at the early stage of Yuanzun Realm, the amazement in his eyes gradually turned into covetousness. He looked at Yun Zheng with his eyes slightly narrowed, and then a lewd smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Of course it's true, little girl."
"Not in the mansion?" Yun Zheng said with a half-smile, "Are you, the Qu family, deliberately trying to keep us waiting? If your patriarch is really in the mansion, and he doesn't come out now, is it because he's afraid of us? Or is he hiding in there like a turtle?"
The captain of the guards suddenly frowned.
Why does this little girl speak so sharply!
Before he could open his mouth to refute, Yun Zheng continued, "Perhaps, we can first pull out the head of the Qu family, and then make him open his eyes and realize whether he is in the mansion or not!"
When these words were spoken, everyone thought they had heard wrongly.
The following scene made everyone clearly realize that they had not heard wrong.
The eight young men quickly jumped into the air, leaned over and stared at the Qu family building in front of them, and the murderous aura on their bodies spread out.
