Chapter 43: The Boy
Following behind Xiao Qing, Xiao Yan stepped lightly on the gravel path, and the familiar environment around him after two years of absence made the memories of his childhood slowly seep out of Xiao Yan's mind.
Follow Xiao Qing all the way through a few paths, and a rather spacious hall gradually appeared at the end of the sight.
"Those villains are inside, and the Great Elder is also inside, but they are all injured, otherwise those guys would not dare to be so presumptuous." Xiao Qing raised his small fist at the hall and said angrily.
"Hurt? Something really happened to the clan......" Pursing his lips, Xiao Yan stepped on the stone stairs, and then stopped outside the closed gate, hearing the sound inside, the corners of his lips gradually set off a sneer.
……
The spacious hall, the light was slightly dim, and the atmosphere was a little gloomy, in the hall, at least hundreds of people were crowded, these people were divided into two groups, opposing each other, staring at each other, and it seemed that there was a bit of a riot about to happen.
In front of the crowd of the Xiao family, there were three elders of the Xiao family, but at this time, the faces of the three people were a little pale, judging from the appearance of their appearance that could not hide the little vindictive spirit that overflowed, it was obvious that they had suffered a lot of internal injuries.
Opposite the Xiao family, there was a group of fierce men, on the Taishi chair at the head of the crowd, three people sat on it, one of them was the patriarch of the Galie family who had been greatly injured by Xiao Yan, Garebi!
And the other person, Xiao Yan also knew, the patriarch of the Oba family, one of the three major families in Utan City alongside the Xiao family, Obadun......
As for the third person, it was quite unfamiliar, this person was wearing a set of alchemist robes, his face was cold, and he was about fifty years old, in addition, the most eye-catching thing was a Ding Furnace badge drawn on the chest of this person's robe, on the badge, three silver ripples, like a living thing, twisted gently.
Three-grade alchemist!
"Two patriarchs, although my Xiao family has encountered some trouble recently, if you really think that my Xiao family is muddy? Utan Chengfang City is my Xiao family's hard work to come, you are so low, you want to buy, can't dream? The second elder's face was gloomy as water, his gaze swept over the group of people who were like tigers and wolves on the opposite side, and said coldly.
"Haha, the second elder laughed, in the past two years, your Xiao family has almost made all the money in Utan City, if we continue like this, I am afraid we will have no second way to go except to leave here...... This is our place of foundation, leaving, if you want to take root in other places, it is not easy, alas, in order to survive, we are also forced to do it, and I hope that the three elders will bear with us, as long as you can agree to the conditions we proposed, for the sake of the past situation, in the future, we will not be too embarrassed for the Xiao family, and everyone will earn money together, isn't that great? O'Barton said with a smile.
"Damn, 80,000 gold coins in a market, are you fucking robbing?" His eyes were red and he glared at Obadon, and the third elder, who had always had a hot temper, couldn't help but slap the table, pointed at Obadon and scolded angrily.
"The third child!" The Great Elder grabbed the Third Elder who stood up and shouted, "Don't mess around!" ”
"Damn......" sat down hatefully, and the palms of the three elders holding the teacup creaked.
"Hehe, the three elders are still as angry as ever, and they hurt their bodies." Garebi, who had been silent, suddenly smiled and said, "But unfortunately, today's matter, it is not your turn to have any choice, you have to sell it, you have to sell it, if you don't sell it, you have to sell it!" ”
"Garebi, I really shouldn't have thought of mercy and let you, the lost dog, live." The Great Elder said gloomily.
"I'm sorry, but there are no regret pills to sell in this world." Garebi smiled, and the cruelty on his face was a little chilling: "The injuries suffered by my Garebi family two years ago, today, I, Garebi, want to return all of them to your Xiao family!" ”
"If you really want to force each other, then my Xiao family can only fight to break the net." Looking at Garebi, who was like a poisonous snake, the Great Elder was silent for a moment, and then said calmly, now he could only hope that the other party was reluctant to fight hard, and chose to delay time.
"Haha, old bastard, what qualifications do you have to fight with us now? Do you have the ability to call Xiao Zhan out? You three old guys are in this state now, and I can solve it completely by myself! Garebi sneered.
The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and the Great Elder waved his hand to stop the group of angry Xiao family members behind him, staring at Garebi with cold eyes, and said coldly: "As long as you dare to touch my Xiao family, the descendants of my Xiao family will definitely make it difficult for you to sleep and eat...... As soon as he returns, you will wait to receive the craziest revenge! ”
"Him?" The corner of his eye suddenly jumped, and for some reason, not only Garebi and Obadon were silent, but even the strange alchemist on the side, the palm on the chair, couldn't help jumping.
In everyone's minds, a young figure slowly emerged, two years ago, it was this young man who was only fifteen years old, who laid down the abyss of the Galie family, which was just like the sky!
Two years later, the young man of the year had already directly picked up the Yunlan Sect, and he also retreated!
You must know that in the eyes of these forces in Garebi, the Yunlan Sect is almost like that god, as long as a random person comes out of the Yunlan Sect, he can sweep away the strength of Utan City.
When they first heard the rumor that the Xiao family kid was fighting against the Yunlan Sect, it seemed that the entire people in Utan City were stunned for a minute, and those forces that were enemies of the Xiao family exuded a chill from their bones.
If it weren't for the mysterious powerhouse who didn't even know the details of Garebi to tell him privately that Xiao Yan had been secretly killed by the Yunlan Sect, I am afraid that he would give Galebi ten more dares, and he would not dare to come to the Xiao family to take advantage of the fire to rob, even if he found a third-grade alchemist to support him......
"Hey, then you just wait, when you're dead, I'm afraid you'll be able to meet that little bastard named Xiao Yan......" Galebissen laughed coldly, trying to hide his fear of someone.
"Brother Ao, don't delay any longer, since they refuse to agree, then let's do it directly, the Xiao family's monopoly over the years almost bankrupted us, ask them to come back!" The Great Elder gasped and shouted through gritted teeth.
Little Patriarch, this title represents the recognition of the elders of the clan for the successor of a future patriarch of the family, and the news from the Yunlan Sect made every Xiao family member proud of the clansman named Xiao Yan, including the three elders who looked down on him back then.
"I'm sorry, you may not have that opportunity, Xiao Yan killed my student back then, today, let your Xiao family come to the funeral." The alchemist, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and said in a hoarse voice.
Slowly raising his head, the alchemist's gaze swept over everyone in the Xiao family, and said lightly: "I forgot to tell you that my student is Liu Xi who made healing medicine for the Galie family back then. ”
As the alchemist's words slowly fell, a powerful momentum full of six-star great dou master, a thin young figure from his body, slowly walked in.
"Sorry, I'm late......"
The young man's faint apologetic voice rang out.
Hearing this faintly familiar voice, the Great Elder was stunned at first, and then his tense body was completely loosened, and two excited tears rolled down the old man's face.
In the sunlight channel that spread out through the crack in the door, a slender young man walked in slowly, passing by the group of big men with weapons as if no one was around, and finally passed by the two of them who were full of sluggish faces, Garebi and Obapaton.
In the hall, the atmosphere was silent, except for the sound of breathing that was slightly rapid.
Under the gaze of all eyes, the young man slowly came to the front of the Xiao family, looked down at the old man who was so excited that he was in tears, and bowed slightly.
"Xiao, Xiao Yan......" With the support of the clansmen behind him, the Great Elder looked excitedly at the delicate face in front of him, which was a little less immature than two years ago and a little more rigid, and his voice couldn't help but tremble a little and said, "Is it really you?" ”
Looking up at the old face that made him want to step on it two years ago, Xiao Yan nodded with a chuckle, but in his heart, he was slightly emotional, after two years of experience, he was indeed a lot more mature, and those resentments back then also faded away in the passage of time, no matter what, he and this family also have that indelible blood relationship.
"Great Elder, it's really Young Master Xiao Yan!"
"Young Master Xiao Yan is back! Our Xiao family is saved! The Xiao family member who was supporting the Great Elder showed ecstasy, almost so excited that he couldn't say anything.
Looking at the faces that could vaguely see some familiar contours from two years ago, the people of the Xiao family, who had been extremely nervous in the past two days, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly, an atmosphere of joy replaced the previous despair, and some people with a little worse concentration even couldn't help but let out cheers.
The second elder and the third elder glanced at each other, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, staring at the delicate face with an indifferent smile, and nodded with satisfaction, after two years of experience, this younger generation of the family, who was a little sharp in the past, finally knew how to restrain his sharpness.
Compared with the cheers of everyone in the Xiao family, the Galebi and the people on the other side, who were still menacing, were dumb in an instant, and the people looked at each other, and the palm holding the weapon couldn't help but tremble a little, almost every person in Utan City these days has heard of no less than ten different versions of Xiao Yan's battle against Yunlan Sect's shocking events, and for this character who seems to exist in a legend, everyone is full of awe, and now the legendary person has appeared in front of them alive, It's no wonder that these murderous guys also feel a sense of fear.
"Damn, Galebi, didn't you bastard say that Xiao Yan had been secretly killed by the Yunlan Sect? So why are you still alive now? His eyes were fixed on the thin figure with his back to them, and Obapaton's eyes flashed with unconcealable horror, and he turned around with a blue face, grabbed Garebi's collar, and roared in a low voice, with a little trembling in the roar.
His eyes were also glued to the back, the corners of Garebi's mouth were constantly trembling, and his heels were also a little weak at this moment, he swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and his originally cruel face was a little crying at this time: "How the fuck do I know, that person clearly said that Xiao Yan has been killed, with his strength, there is no need to lie to me as the patriarch of a small family, right?" ”
"Then the person in front of you, could it be that Xiao Yan crawled out of hell?" Oba Paton gritted his teeth and said angrily, he agreed to Garebi's lobby to deal with the severely injured Xiao family together, although part of the reason was that he had indeed been suppressed too hard by the Xiao family in the past two years, but more, it was Garebi who said that Xiao Yan had been secretly killed by the strong man of the Yunlan Sect, so he dared to nod and fight desperately......
Garebi's face was pale, and at this moment, he was also in a cold state.
His eyes were staring at Xiao Yan deadly, the third-grade alchemist rolled his throat, his face was cloudy, and the strong momentum that erupted before was also much weaker.
"Three elders, are you alright?" Turning his back to those people with different faces, Xiao Yan looked at the pale faces of the three elders and said softly.
"It's fine." The Great Elder struggled to stand up straight, shook his head, and then slowly bent over Xiao Yan with a solemn face, but when his body was halfway down, one arm was propping it up, and when he looked up, he looked at a young face with a soft smile, and his old eyes couldn't help but feel a little sour.
"Great Elder, you are an elder, you can't do anything to Xiao Yan like this, otherwise, when my father sees it, I'm afraid he will have to blame me again." Xiao Yan smiled and said softly.
"Before...... It's a few of us old guys who have gone too far, in the future, as the Great Elder, I promise that I will not ......repeat the things of the past, as the Great Elder," the Great Elder tilted his head and wiped the corners of his somewhat moist eyes, and sighed at Xiao Yan.
"Hehe, I was not liked when I was a child, and the matter has passed, I am quite forgetful." Xiao Yan smiled and shrugged his shoulders, when he stepped into this family again, he knew that no matter what, his bloodline belonged to this family, at least, before he became a waste, this family gave him a perfect childhood.
Xiao Yan's gaze swept over the familiar faces of the clansmen behind the three elders, and he smiled: "But for now, I think it's better to solve the troubles here first and then catch up on the old ones." ”
