Chapter 16: The Arrival of Xiao Tiling
Lie Tianyang sat quietly in front of the bed, constantly urging the true qi to run in the small week, until dawn, it had been running for three weeks.
At dawn, Lie Tianyang suddenly heard the sound of footsteps outside the small courtyard.
Now, the range of his senses has expanded from the previous twenty zhang to thirty zhang.
The sound of footsteps came to the courtyard gate, and stopped, "The young master asked me to invite my son to the hall to narrate." ”
The young master is Lie Xuanzong.
Now, the entire Lie family has regarded Lie Xuanzong as the successor of the future sect master.
This time, the people who came were already much more respectful to Lie Tianyang between speaking.
It's not that people who come know how to be polite.
But in the past two days, he has killed slaves one after another, and every time he can avoid patriarchal sanctions, in the hearts of many slaves, he seems to have become a big evil star.
Although the minion is still a minion, he also knows that it is better to stay away from a evil star like Lie Tianyang.
Lie Tianyang's eyes raised slightly, "What happened this time?"
The man replied respectfully, "Hui Gongzi, it is said that it is to welcome the people of the Xiao family. ”
There is only one Xiao family in Quicksand City, and that is the family of the city lord Xiao He.
Lie Tianyang's thoughts turned, "No wonder the lights in the mansion have been lit up these days, it turned out to be for this matter." ”
Lie Tianyang agreed, and then went out, followed the minion, and came to the main hall of the Lie family.
At this time, the main hall was already crowded, and there were more than 300 children of the younger generation alone, and the scorching sky yang entered it, like a meteor entering the vast sky, and no one noticed it at all.
Although the scorching sky and yang have been in the limelight in the past two days, no matter his identity or his cultivation, among these three hundred people, he will definitely not be able to squeeze into the top ten.
So, no one paid any attention to his arrival.
In the center of the hall, it was still Lie Xuanzong who was sitting. However, this time the hall was mostly composed of the children of the younger generation, and among the thirty-six elders, less than ten people were present.
The thirty-six elders will only gather when something important happens in the family, and it is generally difficult for all of them to be present.
When Lie Tianyang walked into the hall, he realized that not only him, but also many people didn't know where the so-called came from.
In the hall, there was already a lot of talk about this matter.
"Three hundred talents gathered together, it seems that something big has happened this time. ”
"I don't think so, didn't you see that the thirty-six elders hadn't arrived, especially the law enforcement elder Lie Changkong hadn't arrived. If there is really a big event, he should be the first to be there. ”
"Well, I heard that it was for the marriage with the Xiao family. ”
"Marriage!"
The man's words suddenly stirred up a thousand waves in the crowd, "Tell me quickly, what marriage?"
"It is said that the daughter of Xiao He, the lord of Quicksand City, wants to come to our family to choose a son-in-law, and the two families will marry so that they can jointly take charge of Quicksand City. ”
"How could there be such a thing? Impossible, the four giants in Quicksand City, Hu, Yang, Liu, and Lie, although our Lie family is also among them, but it is the weakest one, if the daughter of the Quicksand City Lord wants to choose a son-in-law, she should start with the strongest Hu family. ”
At this moment, a child dressed in Confucian clothes walked over, "I see that this time, Xiao He is not at ease." ”
Hearing this, Lie Tianyang couldn't help but glance at the man, who was wearing a square-inch scarf, a robe, and a paper fan, and was dressed as a Confucian student.
Lie Tianyang knew this person, he was one of the younger brothers of the Lie family, named Lie Fei. He has always regarded himself as a Confucian scholar, but the peak cultivation of the Sixfold Refining Truth has made him rank eighteenth among the seventy-two core disciples, and his strength is not to be underestimated.
Lie Fei continued, "In my opinion, Xiao He is going to attack the other three major families, so he will come up with a way to marry my Lie family. The so-called vertical and horizontal is so. This person is heroic, which can be seen. ”
For more than a hundred years, the four wealthy families in Quicksand City have risen rapidly and are so powerful that they are almost equal to the city lord Xiao family, and they have threatened the Xiao family's right to dominate Quicksand City.
It is only a matter of time before the four giants fight the Xiao family, and people with a discerning eye have long seen it clearly.
"I don't think so, if Xiao He really wants to destroy the other three giants, the Hu family should be the most important, because the Hu family is the strongest, and only by looking for him will the chance of winning the most. ”
Lie Fei laughed and said, "You say you're stupid, you still don't recognize it." It is precisely because the Hu family is too strong that Xiao He will find our Lie family. This cooperation is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, the stronger the other party of the cooperation, the more difficult it is for the Xiao family to control, haven't you heard the phrase "tail is too big?"
"That's impossible, our Lie family is not a fool, and people are guns, and it is possible to be swallowed by the Xiao family, I am afraid that the sect master will not agree to such a thing. ”
Lie Fei snorted coldly, and then said, "This is Xiao He's shrewdness, do you know who this marriage is?"
"Who?"
"Xiao He's eldest daughter. ”
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao He was so generous, in order to get rid of the suspicion of the Lie family, he actually brought out his daughter.
Therefore, Xiao He used this as a temptation to induce the Lie family to cooperate with him. ”
When Lie Fei said this, someone immediately burst out with a sigh, "If I can become a Taoist couple with Xiao He's daughter, and live and cultivate together, then I will be the real winner." ”
Before the man's words landed, someone immediately laughed at him, "Do you think Xiao He's daughter is a mortal?" What she is looking for is the strongest child of the Lie family. If you still want to double cultivate with such a person, let's first become one of the seventy-two core disciples. ”
Indeed, with the identity of Xiao He's daughter, she wants to choose a son-in-law from the Lie family, and people can only be among the seventy-two core children.
Lie Tianyang nodded slightly after hearing this, he was still wondering before coming here, with his current status, it was impossible for him to participate in anything in the family, Lie Xuanzong actually made an exception this time, it turned out that it was not because of respect for him, but because of respect for the eldest lady of the Xiao family.
Righteousness and etiquette, this is what the entire Liuyun Continent attaches the most importance to.
Lie Xuanzong, who was sitting on the seat of the sect master, pressed his hands, and suddenly, the hall full of people instantly became silent, and the needle drop could be heard.
Although this person is not yet the sect master, his prestige in the family can already be seen.
"Brothers, this time the Xiao and Lie families have joined forces, and it is a major matter related to the survival of my Lie family in Quicksand City, so I hope you can be cautious. ”
Indeed, this matter is a matter of family existence, and no one can slack off on this.
"Okay, now follow me out of the house to greet the eldest lady of the Xiao family. ”
After Lie Xuanzong finished speaking, he stood up.
At that moment, the chaotic crowd was like a tide, and suddenly it automatically divided into two fans, and in the middle, made a way for Lie Xuanzong.
Majesty, this is the majesty of Liexuanzong.
Now, he seems to have become the sect leader of the Lie family.
Just outside the Lie family's mansion, the ten miles of street near the left are the private property of the Lie family. At this time, the lights have been lit up, and the long street is soundtracked.
With the sound of silk and bamboo, the shadow of the eight horses has been longed for from afar.
Eight horses, this is the highest rule of Quicksand City, even if it is from the Ancestor Dynasty, it is nothing more than that.
In a moment, the sound of horses' hooves was urgent, and eight snow-white horses galloped towards them, and behind them was a colorful luan.
The Xiao family is the emperor of Quicksand City, so it is understandable to use Luan.
Eight horses marched in unison, like a tidal wave, sweeping in, and even the hooves of the eight horses stepped on one point.
The horses galloped from the end of the long street like a gallop, and in the blink of an eye, they were already in front of the mansion.
The coachman's wrist was slightly retracted, and thirty-two iron hooves stepped on the ground at the same time, not moving at all. On top of Luan's driving, there was a sound of hanging jingling.
Lie Xuanzong gave a gift, "Miss Xiao, I have been waiting for a long time." ”
At that time, a swallow voice came from Luan's driver, tactful and crisp, "Xiao Tiling is polite." ”
The next moment, a snow-white figure had already appeared outside Luanjia, his skin was as white as snow, and his holiness was like refining.
This person is Xiao Tiling.
The moment Lie Tianyang saw Xiao Tiling, his eyelids jumped. He had long thought that Xiao Tiling was a member of the Xiao family, the lord of Quicksand City, but he never expected that she would be Xiao He's daughter.
Xiao Tiling looked around, pausing on the faces of everyone present. But Lie Tianyang clearly felt that when she looked at herself, a subtle smile appeared on her face.
It's just that this smile is too superficial, and others don't know the meaning at all.
Xiao Tiling jumped down from the top of Luan's car, floating like a saint, not falling into the dust.
It was in this leap that I don't know how many Lie family children had already aroused their heartbeats.
Everyone is sighing secretly, not to mention the background behind her, that is, the otherworldly meaning on her body, which is not something ordinary people can have.
The daughter of Xiao He, the lord of Quicksand City, has always been just a legend in Quicksand City, and no one has ever seen the true face of Lushan. Seeing it today, everyone really knows how good Xiao He is. With Xiao Tiling's beauty and temperament, there are few people in Quicksand City who can resist such a temptation.
After a burst of drums, Xiao Tiling was welcomed into Lie's house. The children of the three hundred Lie families were orderly and followed.
Since Xiao Tiling came on behalf of the Xiao family, the etiquette was natural and thoughtful, which not only brought the sincerity of the marriage with the Lie family, but also brought gifts to several heavyweights of the Lie family.
The gift was divided into six parts, except for the Lie family clan Lie Xuan and his son Lie Xuanzong, only the three elders of the Lie family were eligible to have such a gift.
To everyone's surprise, just after a few weeks of etiquette, Xiao Tiling actually walked towards the outermost part of the three hundred children of the Lie family.
She had a shallow smile on her face, and it was so beautiful that everywhere she went, many of her children unconsciously got out of the way.
At the end of the road, there were only two people, Lie Wu and Lie Tianyang.
In an instant, the two of them became the focus of the three hundred children, and all eyes were on them.
The arrangement of the children of the Lie family is in a strict order. Even if Lie Wu's status in the family was much higher than Lie Tianyang, he could only stand with Lie Tianyang.
In the family, patriarchal rules are greater than individual will.
Lie Tianyang was silent, he knew that since Xiao Tiling came to Lie's house, he would find him sooner or later.
At this time, Liewu was ecstatic in his heart. Everyone knows that Xiao Tiling came to the Lie family just now, just to choose a son-in-law for marriage.
If Xiao Tiling really takes a fancy to himself, then he will ascend to the sky in one step and become the second person in the Lie family after Lie Xuanzong.
Such an opportunity, such a temptation, not everyone can stop it.
Sure enough, Xiao Tiling came straight towards him.
It wasn't until Xiao Tiling came to the two of them that Lie Wu squeezed out a self-righteous smile on his face, and waited for Xiao Tiling to point the identity of the Xiao family's Chenglong Kuai-son-in-law on his head.
What he didn't expect was that Xiao Tiling's gaze only swept lightly over his body, and then turned to Lie Tianyang's face.
Xiao Tiling said respectfully to Lie Tianyang, "Big brother, don't come to harm!"
After finishing speaking, he actually bowed his head slightly towards the scorching sun.
The astonishment broke out instantly among the three hundred disciples, if it weren't for the presence of Lie Xuanzong on the spot, the three hundred people would have been in an uproar.
Xiao Tiling came on behalf of the Xiao family, and her identity is the identity of the Xiao family, which is the supreme existence in Quicksand City.
Such a person would actually know Lie Tianyang, and treat him with courtesy. This kind of thing is unprecedented.
Moreover, Xiao Tiling actually called Lie Tianyang his eldest brother.
This title is very intimate. Obviously, there is a lot of relationship between them.
At this time, Lie Wu was suddenly furious, and he felt that he was standing beside Lie Tianyang, like a clown jumping off the beam, and let others laugh at him.
All the eyes that looked at Lie Tianyang seemed to him to be on him, and they were full of ridicule and sarcasm.
Lie Wu clenched his fists tightly, "Lie Tianyang, you and I vow not to coexist!"
Lie Tianyang naturally felt the existence of Lie Wu's resentful and hateful gaze. But he didn't care, being able to humiliate Lie Wu in such an occasion and in such a way was the most severe punishment for him.
Even Lie Xuanzong's eyes revealed a trace of surprise that was not easy to detect. In his opinion, Lie Tianyang is just a salted fish, and there is no room to turn over at all. But now it seems that this salted fish still has an ability that he didn't expect. This made him have to re-examine the person of Lie Tianyang.
