The hall of the Li family was full of guests and friends, but because of the arrival of the Xiao family, the atmosphere was more weird than before.

The grievances between the Xiao family and the Li family are well known, and everyone is waiting, because they feel that the Xiao family must find a reason to humiliate the Li family in the end.

Not only the guests present thought so, but even the Li family thought so in their hearts, Li He, as the new patriarch, sat at the main table to accompany Xiao Xuan, while several elders of the Li family secretly kept explaining to the clansmen, don't make mistakes, at least not find a reason for the Xiao family to be mad.

In the eyes of the Li family, if the Xiao family wants to go crazy, the easiest excuse to find is those congratulatory gifts, if these congratulatory gifts go wrong, the Xiao family can use this to find trouble with the Li family.

Therefore, for the congratulatory gifts sent by the Xiao family, the Li family specially arranged for a few clansmen to guard them, and they did not dare to open these gift boxes, because they were afraid that after they were opened, if the things inside were broken, the Xiao family would put this responsibility on their heads.

Such things were common in ancient times.

In ancient times, the royal family was dissatisfied with some officials, or wanted to find a reason to get rid of the officials with high merit, and directly rewarded some rewards, and these rewards represented the face of the royal family, and if there was a problem, the royal family could punish the crime with this.

The Li family was afraid that the Xiao family would also come out like this, so they were extremely cautious, and even when the food was served, it was served by the elders of the Li family themselves, they were afraid that if the Xiao family secretly made a move, the vegetables would spill out or the vegetable soup would splash on the Xiao family.

In short, don't find any reason for the Xiao family to target the Li family.

Xiao Xuan also felt the caution of the Li family, and he was also a little helpless in his heart, if the patriarch hadn't received the news today, then their Xiao family would really do this, but now even if they lent their Xiao family a gut, they wouldn't dare to do it.

Xiao Xuan was about to speak, but at this time, a voice came from the corner.

"The Li family is really unreasonable, the Xiao family has sent so many valuable gifts, your Li family can't put them away well, just put them there, do you look down on the Xiao family?"

It was a young man who spoke, and as soon as his words were spoken, the originally noisy sound at the scene disappeared instantly, and the entire scene became silent.

"It's coming!"

"The Xiao family really arranged a backhand!"

This was the first thought that surged in the hearts of everyone present at this moment, except for the Xiao family.

When Xiao Xuan heard this voice, his eyes also looked over there, and the young man was even more excited when he saw Xiao Xuan's gaze, he felt that Xiao Xuan's eyes were encouraging him.

"The gifts sent by other people, your Li family have put them away, but your Li family of the Xiao family does not accept them, which is obviously looking down on the Xiao family, and the Li family is really becoming more and more arrogant. ”

The young man glanced at the audience, and none of the guests present refuted his words, because everyone felt that it was the Xiao family standing behind him, and it was very likely that the Xiao family arranged this play.

Li He's face changed when the young man said the first sentence, and when he heard the young man's second sentence, he couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly stood up from his position to explain to Xiao Xuan.

However, Xiao Xuan stood up one step ahead of him, his face pale.

Seeing the expression on Xiao Xuan's face, the hearts of the people present trembled, because they all thought that the next moment this Xiao family elder was going to go crazy, and the Li family was going to suffer.

"Elder Xiao!"

Li He's heart sank and he was about to explain, but Xiao Xuan stretched out his hand to stop Li He's words, which made Li He's heart sink to the bottom even more.

At this moment, Li He was even ready to despair, if the Xiao family really wanted to use this as a reason to make a move against the Li family, then he would carry it down by himself, and he would definitely not let the Xiao family make a move on the entire Li family.

He is the patriarch of the Li family, and the Xiao family humiliates himself by making a move on himself, which is tantamount to humiliating the entire Li family, and the Xiao family will be satisfied if he wants to come.

"Bastard!"

After Xiao Xuan stopped Li He, he suddenly scolded, which made the Li family members present subconsciously look nervous, and the young man showed a smug smile on his face, he knew that he had made the right bet, the Xiao family really wanted to publish a book on the Li family, and he found a good reason and excuse for the Xiao family.

"That is, the Li family is too ......"

"You shut up for me, where is the kid, the Li family is also something you can talk about?"

Xiao Xuan shouted angrily, which made the young man stunned, with a look of doubt on his face, it should be that he heard it wrong, how could the elder of the Xiao family say such a thing.

However, the next moment, Xiao Xuan's gaze swept over, and the coercion revealed in his eyes made him tremble, and the whole person seemed to be a flat boat in the vast ocean.

"Elder Xiao was angry, it was the apprentice who was ignorant and said the wrong thing, and asked Elder Xiao to open up. ”

Seeing his apprentice's trembling body, the old man on the side couldn't sit still, so he immediately stood up from his position and looked at Xiao Xuan with a pleading expression.

"It's not just my Xiao family that you have offended, you are deliberately provoking the relationship between my Xiao family and the Li family, your heart can be punished, unless the Li patriarch is willing to let you go, otherwise don't think about walking out of the Li family's gate so easily today." ”

Xiao Xuan's words made the expressions of the people at the scene become strange, this Elder Xiao has been talking nonsense with his eyes open for a while, and has been emphasizing the relationship between the Xiao family and the Li family.

The people present were not stupid, if they had suspected that the Xiao family had any conspiracy before, then now they were thinking more about another possibility, that is, what changes had occurred on the Li family's side, and this change made the Xiao family dare not target the Li family anymore.

Xiao Xuan's arrival was actually to ease the relationship between the Li family.

This speculation made the people on the scene look at Li He with shock, what changes have happened in the Li family, which actually made the Xiao family begin to soften, you must know that the Xiao family is a second-rate force in the metaphysical world.

Although the forces of the entire metaphysical world are divided into first-rate, second-rate and third-rate, in fact, the first-class forces have been inherited for hundreds of years, and they have long had their own fixed sphere of influence, which will not easily lead to fighting.

In fact, the most fighting in the entire metaphysical world is actually the second-rate forces, most of these second-rate forces have a heritage of less than three hundred years, and they need to expand their territory to obtain more resources, so there are often fights between them.

However, second-rate forces rarely fight directly with each other, and more often support some third-rate family forces, let these third-rate family forces fight for territory and interests, and finally pay tribute to their resources.

There is only one reason that can explain the scene in front of them, that is, the Li family has found a certain first-class force as a backer, and only this reason will make the Xiao family suddenly want to resolve their grievances with the Li family.

"Patriarch Li, this is your Li family, and you have the final say on what to do with these two people. ”

Xiao Xuan's expression of respect for the Li family made Li He's heart as disgusting as eating a fly, anyone can say this kind of thing, but your Xiao family is not qualified.

If you really respect my Li family, how could I arrest my little sister in the first place, and ask my father to make a promise to imprison my little sister in the yard for the rest of her life after I arrested my little sister back in front of my father.

However, Li He naturally wouldn't say these words, and even had an honorable smile on his face.

"I think they didn't mean it, there was something wrong with our Li family in the handling of the Xiao family's congratulatory gifts, which made everyone misunderstand, this matter is over, please leave my Li family too." ”

Although Li He was also very dissatisfied with the master and apprentice in his heart, he knew that now was not the time to deal with these two people, and at this moment, he was more eager to know why the Xiao family suddenly changed their attitude.

He could guess what so many people at the scene were thinking at the moment, in fact, if he was not the patriarch of the Li family and knew everything about the Li family, he would even have the same guesses and thoughts as these people.

But the Li family didn't rely on any strong people at all, and they didn't tie up with a first-class force, if the first-class force was so good, then the Li family would not have been suppressed by the Xiao family for so many years.

Each world has its own rules, and the metaphysical world is the same, for those first-rate forces, they will not deal with third-rate forces, nor will they say that they will protect third-rate forces, and those who can tie up with first-rate forces can only be those second-rate forces.

This is for the sake of the stability of the metaphysical world, and the tacit understanding of the major first-class forces, otherwise, those first-class sect forces will casually support the third-rate forces, and the entire metaphysical world will be chaotic.

With the support of the first-rate forces, these third-rate forces will definitely have to wrestle with the second-rate forces for territory and interests, which is not what the major first-rate forces in the metaphysical world are willing to see.

This banquet ended in a strange atmosphere where everyone kept speculating, but until he saw Xiao Xuan and the others leave, Li He was still a little confused, especially Xiao Xuan's words before leaving, which made him even more confused.

"Patriarch Li, with the care of Master Su, you and I will be closer to each other in the future. ”

Su Gongzi?

Li He felt that he didn't know such a person, and who was Su Gongzi referring to?

Gongzi, in the metaphysical world, is the title of the genius disciples cultivated by those top forces and sects, such as the one in the Heavenly Master's Mansion some time ago, who was called Ye Gongzi.

Thinking of Ye Shengge, Li He's eyes suddenly lit up, because he thought of the other protagonist in Ye Shengge's incident, Su Chen, a disciple of the Dao Alliance Qilin Zitian family.

That one is called Su Gongzi.

"It shouldn't be the one, after all, that Su Gongzi is in Jiangxi Province, and he has no intersection with our Li family, and Jiangxi Province ......"

Li He, who was talking to himself, seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became excited, the Li family does not have a disciple in Jiangxi Province, but his niece is from Jiangxi Province, and the entanglement between his sister and the Xiao family ......

Thinking of the Xiao family's initiative to come to show favor this time, Li He's whole body was trembling slightly with excitement.

The Tian family, that is not an ordinary first-class strength, and that Su Gongzi is not an ordinary son.
