Chapter Twenty-Four: Hideous Desire

Although this Sikong City Lord's attitude was quite arrogant, but everyone including Xiao Lin and Zhao Peng did not dare to have any dissatisfaction, but many people showed humble sneers at him, but unfortunately the other party was not at ease at all, and his arrogance can be seen.

Everyone flocked to Sikong Jue and walked towards the VIP seat, but Xiao Zhan unexpectedly did not follow, but stayed behind, glanced at Xiao Yue, and then slowly walked towards the crowd. Xiao Yue nodded knowingly, patted Xiao Li's shoulder, said that she would see you later, and then chuckled and hurriedly followed Xiao Zhan's figure.

"Do you know what the hell is going on with that Sikong?" In a secluded corner away from the crowd, Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Yue who was following him, looked at the VIP seat with a somewhat solemn gaze, and said lightly.

also turned his head to look at the VIP seat, and was silent for a few breaths, Xiao Yue opened her mouth with a childish voice, and sneered: "Hehe... The city lord of this Utan City has never had any sense of self-interest, and he usually lets the three of us go freely, turning a blind eye to it, but it is all right. But I feel that this new city lord doesn't seem to be a good person to get along with, and the other party can make the teacher so polite, I'm afraid that at least he is the same fighting spirit powerhouse as the teacher, or even stronger than the teacher. This is a bit unusual, the strength of those city lords was at the level of a fighting master before, but this time they suddenly changed to a fighting spirit powerhouse, and the one who came was not good!"

"And it's also the time period of the sky-shaking thunder sales fire storm now, so it's already obvious that it's someone from the royal family, right!

At the end of the words, Xiao Yue's face was already covered with gloom, and there was a trace of evil on her immature and delicate little face, and Xiao Zhan beside her couldn't help frowning.

"That's right, you're very smart, and your mind is so calm that you don't look like a young child, and even some adults are far less mature than you!" Xiao Zhan nodded, and his tone was a little complicated.

He groaned for a moment, and then continued to speak: "Although the purpose of the royal family to appoint it to our Utan City is certainly not so simple, the Heaven-Shaking Thunder should also be an important reason. Moreover, since the official side of the empire came to the door a month ago, we have used various methods to delay it to this day, come to think of it, the royal family must be impatient to wait! Our Xiao family's side has become more and more difficult to drag on, just like you said, this Sikong City Lord is definitely not easy to deal with! Hmph... As soon as this Sikong City Lord arrived at our Xiao family, he had already beaten us hard, and he almost opened his mouth to threaten to destroy us all!"

Xiao Zhan's tone was a little solemn and a little helpless, maybe he was not afraid of the Xiao family, but what he represented behind him was the entire Gama Empire, an empire far more powerful than the Xiao family. Historically, the hostility between most forces or individuals and the state has always been nothing but ashes.

A small number of peak powerhouses may not be afraid, for example, Yunlan Sect has never put it in their eyes, in the final analysis, this is a world where force is supreme, and the real powerhouse can dominate a qiē, and it is not difficult to change the dynasty.

But it must be noted that the Xiao family is not among them now, at least in Xiao Zhan's heart, Xiao Yue definitely does not have any thoughts of hostility to the empire before she grows up. If it is really a last resort, then the Xiao family can only offer the earth-shaking thunder with both hands. Maybe he was very unwilling in his heart, but as the patriarch of the Xiao family, sometimes he must not let himself be emotional, he must consider the entire Xiao family! How to choose between interests and clansmen, there is no doubt that he will definitely choose the latter.

There was silence for a while, Xiao Yue also understood the grievances in Xiao Zhan's heart, but she was still unwilling to look at Xiao Zhan, and said: "Is it like this, like a grandson, obediently offer the earth-shaking thunder, but in this way, how much benefit will our Xiao family lose! Or the royal family will make some compensation, but unless the entire Utan City is given to our Xiao family, no amount of compensation will be far from making up for our losses! Patriarch! Are you willing?... I can't swallow this breath anyway!"

"Unwilling...? So what? Unwilling and resentful things have always been the weak! If you don't have the strength and no background, then you deserve to be bullied, don't blame the world for being unfair or other ridiculous problems, the real blame can only be blamed on you for being too weak! A weak person, if you are not bullied by others, then others are idiots! This... You made it important for me to remember... Xiao Yue!" Xiao Zhan's expression at this moment completely lost his kindness to Xiao Yue in the past, and his reaction was that a pair of eagle eyes stared at Xiao Yue's eyes, and sneered and admonished.

Although Xiao Zhan said it very politely, Xiao Yue was clear in his heart about the mention in his words, he was not the kind of person who was loyal to him, he knew very well that the reason why the other party said this to him must be because he valued himself, otherwise if he was an ordinary person, the other party would probably not bother to say it.

Therefore, he took a deep breath and said: "Thank you for the patriarch's reminder, Xiao Yue is young and vigorous after all, and her mind is blinded for a while, don't blame me! What to do, I understand!"

Xiao Feng nodded with satisfaction, and he was also relieved that the other party could listen to his words, but as soon as the words in his mouth changed, he suddenly said, "Hmm... Actually, there is no turning point in this matter!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, Xiao Yue raised his head sharply and stared at Xiao Zhan, he was indeed a little confused by the other party, and wondered: "What do you mean!"

"In fact, in the final analysis, this matter is that our Xiao family's foundation is too thin to reach the level of Cheng dù, which makes the empire pay attention to it, if the object of this matter

For other big families like the Temir family, see if they dare to be so arrogant! It is basically impossible to improve the status of the family in the empire in a short period of time, but we are not without things that can be valued by others! For example, a peerless genius who may become a Dou Zun or even a Dou Saint in the future!" When he said this, Xiao Zhan's eyes were full of enthusiasm and expectation, staring at Xiao Yue with pride in his tone, and laughed in a low voice.

"What do you mean......" Xiao Yue's face was stunned, faintly, he already knew what the other party asked him to do.

Xiao Zhan's face was solemn, and he said in a condensed voice: "Later, at the coming-of-age ceremony, I will arrange for you to play, and you will show me your talent with all your might, so that everyone will pay attention to you, and let everyone know that you are a peerless genius! Only in this way will people understand your future potential, and will they attach importance to you, and even the family will be valued by them because of this! In this way, in the next negotiations, we will have more room for maneuver and more benefits that can be retained!"

"Unrevealed... But ......what does the teacher mean?" Xiao Yue hesitated, in fact, he didn't care whether he continued to hide, but originally according to Xiao Lin's meaning, it was as much as possible not to let the outside world notice before he grew up, to avoid being trapped by all kinds of outsiders, and to spend this vulnerable time as safely as possible!

"I don't want to say anything more about my father's thoughts! Xiao Yue, let me ask you, a genius who has not experienced the tribulation of the wind... No matter how beautiful and luxurious the porcelain is, it's a pity that it will shatter when you touch it, what's the use of such flashy things!" Xiao Zhan sneered, a pair of eagle eyes stared at Xiao Yue with extremely complicated feelings, which contained disdain, arrogance, and expectation.

Xiao Yue touched her nose, shrugged her shoulders and whispered, "Does the patriarch really want me to play? Or you... I never wanted to grow up too steadily."

"Hehe... The decision is yours, though! What will you choose?" Xiao Zhan nodded and chuckled calmly.

Sighing lightly, Xiao Yue gently closed her eyes, anticipating that the Yunlan Sect and the Soul Hall would hunt down the Xiao family in the future, as if she had seen herself and Zhao Yi die in their hands with a desperate face.

With a long exhale, Xiao Yue reopened her eyes, without a trace of confusion in her eyes, looked at Xiao Zhan and said indifferently: "I understand what to do, patriarch!

"Haha..."Xiao Zhan patted Xiao Yue's shoulder, smiled heartily, and said with great satisfaction: "Very good, I didn't misunderstand you! Believe me, you will definitely be proud of today's decision in the future!"

Xiao Yue nodded, in fact, he would make this decision, not just because of Xiao Zhan's encouragement, but also because of the rich benefits of the earth-shattering thunder that he couldn't give up, in order to "Yansheng Dan", he had to earn tens of millions of net worth within two years, so no matter what, he had to fight!

"Then, Patriarch, I'll go down and prepare!" Xiao Yue bowed slightly and said softly.

Seeing Xiao Zhan nodded, Xiao Yue didn't bother to talk nonsense, and turned directly to the already crowded crowd.

…………

"Little leaf... What did my dad say to you, making it mysterious?" As soon as he walked into the crowd, Xiao Li's grinning voice had already reached Xiao Yue's ears, making him shake his head and smile.

Seeing that Xiao Ding behind him also shrugged helplessly, Xiao Yue just wanted to open her mouth perfunctorily, but a young but textured voice suddenly came from the front.

“…… In a few years, if I become a legend, then I want you to be in my legend! In a few years, if you become a legend, then I want you to be in your legend!"

With a slight raising of her slender eyebrows, Xiao Yue looked for her voice, but saw that in this bustling crowd, a group of young boys and girls were surrounded by a richly dressed young man like a star.

The young man was about twelve years old, and his appearance was quite handsome, and his eyes, with affection and heat, were firmly staring at a slim young girl in front of him, and he whispered with an obsessive face.

Xiao Yue remembered that the girl seemed to be the object of the Xiao family's youths who were very much sought after by some of the teenagers in the family who had excess hormones, but on weekdays, this girl seemed to be quite arrogant and always looked down on those teenagers who chased him.

But at this time, looking at the handsome young man in front of him, his face was crimson, and his beautiful eyes were full of obsession, which made some of the Xiao family teenagers around him almost want to breathe fire.

Behind the handsome young man, there were two young men who were obviously followers, and they constantly took out a handful of maple leaves from a sack and threw them into the sky, allowing the maple leaves to slowly drift down, surrounding the two of them.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Yue's little face was a little stunned, and she turned her head to ask Brother Xiao Ding, who also looked unnatural, "Do you know who this teaser is!"

Looking at the girl of the Xiao family in front of outsiders, Xiao Li's little face was ugly, and he said with indignation: "This little white face belongs to the Sikong City Lord's family, what is it called Sikong Aotian, as soon as he came, he chased Xiao Qiang's dead girl and played tricks... Hmph, these women still eat him, and the women are really brain-dead!"

Ignoring the obviously unconcealed vinegar in Xiao Li's mouth, when she heard that the handsome young man was called "Aotian", Xiao Yue couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth twitch, and murmured in an unnatural tone: "... What a good name, no wonder it looks so two!"
