Chapter 22: Upheaval (1)
Not long after Xiao Lingxi left, Xia Tianyue walked back. Today, she changed out of a red dress, and replaced it with a water-blue Luo skirt, lightly embroidered with phoenix ornaments, hair inlaid with sapphire hairpins, earrings made of pearls hanging in her ears, and a royal blue bead chain hanging on her pink neck.
Xiao Che's eyes lit up suddenly, and he was stunned directly. Isn't it such a peerless beauty that is interpreted by immortals......
Xia Tianyue walked in from outside the door, every step was light and elegant, as if stepping on the clouds, and the snow face and pink neck were all extremely beautiful, revealing a kind of nobility and arrogance that made people ashamed of themselves...... Anyone who sees her will not believe that she is just the daughter of a merchant in a remote town, but will think that she is a high-ranking and undesecrated princess.
Xiao Che was dizzy for a while, and sighed in his heart...... The only room she could change her clothes in was this room! I must have been asleep at the time, and I missed the beautiful scenery of her changing clothes! Ahhhhhh
"Blue clothes suit you better than red ones. Xiao Che looked at her, pleasing to the eye, and praised sincerely.
For his praise, Xia Tianyue was unmoved. Glancing at the empty soup can on the table, she walked over to pick it up and wanted to walk out.
"Is that the chicken soup you made?" Xiao Che asked out loud.
"Doesn't it taste good?" Xia Tianyue said coldly with her back to him. But in the depths of her eyes, there was a subtle emotion that even she couldn't understand.
"It's delicious, I just realized that you are so good at making soup. Xiao Che said with a smile, he stood up, stretched his waist, and said seriously: "In order to repay the chicken soup of the moon wife, tonight, I must be in bed...... will work harder. β
"......" Xia Tianyue was accustomed to his verbal teasing from time to time, and said expressionlessly: "This afternoon, someone from Xiao Zong's side will come." The leader is the youngest son of the sect master of the Xiao Sect, named Xiao Crazy Yun, I heard the master say that this Xiao Crazy Yun Xuanli cultivation can only be regarded as average in the younger generation of the Xiao Sect, and his reputation outside is extremely poor, but because he is the youngest son, he is extremely favored, and no one in Liuyun City can afford to provoke him. If you can't meet him, try to avoid it. β
"Okay, I see, thank you for the reminder. Xiao Che said with a smile.
..........................................
Today is the day when Xiao Zong's people arrive.
The news that Xiao Zong was coming affected not only one Xiao Sect, but also the entire Liuyun City.
Liuyun City, in all aspects, is at the bottom of the Cangfeng Empire, while Xiao Zong is at the highest peak of the Cangfeng Empire, and there are many levels between the two. Xiao Zong's people...... It was still the son of the sect master of the Xiao sect who came here in person, and the nature was completely equivalent to the emperor visiting the most humble countryman's house, and the entire Liuyun City was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Some people are faintly looking forward to it, hoping to find a way to have a little relationship with Xiao Zong, and more people are panicked in their hearts, and after learning that this afternoon is the time for their arrival, they are all closed at home, lest they will offend each other...... Xiao Zong's people wanted to kill them, it was no different from trampling the ants on the ground. The law is a joke to them.
The inside and outside of the Xiaomen compound are neatly cleaned up, and everything is spotless. The largest and most luxurious courtyard in the Xiao Gate where Xiao Yunhai has been living has been renovated and cleaned two days ago, and even the sheets, bedding and furniture have all been replaced, and Xiao Yunhai himself has moved into the small courtyard next door. Even the meals for the next few days, Xiao Yunhai arranged them personally...... Although he was tired and anxious, he was always extremely excited in his heart! Because he was 100% sure that Xiao Zong would choose his son Xiao Yulong this time! At that time, his son would soar into the sky! He himself would also become Liuyun City...... No, it is an absolute overlord that no one dares to provoke within a radius of hundreds of miles!
From ten o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yunhai personally led the major elders, deacons and others to stand at the door, ready to greet them, and they waited until noon...... And then to ...... Afternoon...... It wasn't until nearly five o'clock in the afternoon that a Xiao Sect disciple ran back sweating profusely, and Da Laiyuan shouted, "......Door master! It's coming!!Xiao Zong's people are coming...... That momentum...... It's definitely Xiao Zong's fault!"
Everyone was shocked, Xiao Yunhai stood outside the door with a stride, and roared: "Quick! Immediately notify you to get ready, whoever doesn't do well and neglects the distinguished guests will definitely not be spared! Elders, immediately follow me to meet you!"
When Xiao Yunhai ran wildly all the way and directly greeted more than a mile, he finally saw a group of four people in his sight walking unhurriedly in the direction where they were.
Among the four, the first was a young man, who looked to be barely twenty years old, richly dressed, of medium stature, with a plain appearance, a slightly pale face with a hint of sallowness, and a face of excessive indulgence. In terms of appearance, this is definitely a commodity that can't be found when thrown into the pile, but it is such an ordinary face, but it is full of arrogance and arrogance. He walked with his hands behind his back, his eyes facing the sky, and he didn't even glance at the occasional passer-by, as if one more glance would stain his eyes.
He was followed by an old man dressed in black with a calm face. In the back, there are two young men dressed in black, each with a silver eagle pattern embroidered on their shoulders.
Xiao Yunhai took a deep breath, walked up quickly, clasped his hands into fists, leaned forward, and asked respectfully and carefully, "Excuse me, the four are distinguished guests from Xiao Zong?"
The footsteps of the young man walking in front stopped, glanced at them casually, and said with half-closed eyes: "That's right, this son is Xiao Zong Xiao Crazy Cloud." β
Xiao Yunhai's posture suddenly became more respectful, and he said with sincere fear: "It turns out that it is really four distinguished guests, great! We have been waiting for a long time." The contemptible people are the current masters of the Xiao Sect in this Liuyun City, and the five behind me are the five most respected elders of the Xiao Sect. Four distinguished guests came all the way for us, and we are very grateful and afraid. β
"No need to say nonsense. Xiao Yanyun glanced at the five elders casually, and then lazily shook his hand: "Lead the way." β
"Yes, yes, please. Xiao Yunhai nodded hurriedly, then leaned his body, personally led the way in front, and walked back to Xiao Gate.
"I don't know if this senior is ......"
"Xiao Moshan. The old man in black said lightly. An old face is emotionless, like a dead corpse.
Xiao Yunhai didn't dare to speak, and his heart was awe-inspiring. He can still ponder the cultivation of this Xiao Qiyun's Xuan power, but from this Xiao Moshan, he can't detect the existence of a trace of Xuan power. In this case, either this Xiao Moshan has no cultivation, obviously, this is impossible. Or, it was his Xuanli cultivation that far surpassed him, and it was not something he could snoop on at all.
When they returned to Xiao Gate, there were already a large number of people standing at the door, and when they saw Xiao Yunhai's respectful posture in front, they sighed in their hearts, and their eyes fell on the arrogant young man, and then rushed to respond.
"Dare to ask if this is Xiao Zonglai's son?" said a middle-aged man who rushed to the front and had a good posture.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yanyun slanted half of his eyes and looked at him.
"In ...... Below is the city lord of this Liuyun City, whose name is Situ Nan, who heard that Xiao Zong's distinguished guests are coming, and he ...... We're here to greet you. When Situ Nan's voice came to the back, they all began to tremble, and there was a row of cold sweat on his forehead. As the Lord of Liuyun City, he has seen a lot of big people, but the big people he has seen are not even a fart in front of Xiao Zonggongzi. The arrogant man in front of him is not amazing, but to kill him is a matter of one sentence.
"The contemptible Yu Wenba, who has been a friend of the Xiao Sect Master for many years, is here...... I came to pay tribute to the demeanor of Xiao Zonggongzi, and attached a meager gift, hoping that Xiao Gongzi would smile. The head of the Yuwen family, who was as famous as Xiaomen in Liuyun City, also hurriedly stepped forward, with a respectful face, and held a small and delicate jade box in his hand.
Xiao Yanyun glanced at the jade box, and shook his hand to the two people behind: "Accept it." β
The person behind immediately stepped forward and held the jade box in his hand with an expressionless face.
Seeing that this Xiao Zong Dashao actually accepted his gift, Yuwen Ba's face was full of joy. Other people who wanted to have a relationship with Xiao Zong also rushed to present the gifts they brought...... Xiao Qiyun did not refuse, accepted all the orders, and then squinted his eyes and said nonchalantly: "You all retreat, it's a little late today, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow." β
"Yes, yes! Xiao Gongzi must have been tired after wading through mountains and rivers to come here. When Xiao Gongzi is rested, we will come back tomorrow. The Situ City Lord nodded hurriedly and said.
The crowd then dispersed.
Xiao Yunhai and the five elders respectfully introduced Xiao Madyun into the Xiao Gate, and Xiao Yunhai stepped forward and said, "The four distinguished guests of the Xiao Sect have traveled all the way, and they are already tired when they think about it, do you want to rest for a while?" β
"No, I'm not that delicate. Xiao Yanyun glanced at Xiao Men, the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing an undisguised disdain, and then said lightly: "If it weren't for Elder Xiao Zheng's death, I wouldn't have known that there was such a place." I heard that the ancestors of this place are wastes expelled by our Xiao Zong, but no matter how waste, after all, they are also from Xiao Zong, even if they are wastes that Xiao Zong doesn't want, they can still be overlords in this kind of place, and after so many years, it can be developed like this, but it's okay. β
"Yes, yes, thanks to Xiao Gongzi's praise. β
In the face of Xiao Yanyun's naked contempt and contempt, Xiao Yunhai nodded in thanks, how dare he refute it.
"The deceased is the greatest, and I came to this place in person to fulfill Elder Xiao Zheng's last wish. The purpose has been made clear to you in the letter. Tomorrow morning, let everyone in your clan gather in this courtyard, no one is missing, and I will personally select someone to bring back to Xiao Zong. Speaking of the last sentence, Xiao Yanyun's head was held high, as if he was giving a holy decree to benefit the world.
