Three days later, Qingcheng, Tianxianglou -

Since winning the selection competition and entering the Qizhong Academy to study, Ye Chaoxiao has never returned to Qingcheng, and it has been more than half a year since he left this small city where he has lived for thirteen years since he was a child.

However, Ye Chaoxiao didn't have any thoughts to sigh at the changes that had taken place in him in the past six months or so, because there was still a bigger problem waiting to be solved in front of him - the martial artist, this name that had lingered in his heart for a long time, had almost become his nightmare, his unbearable childhood, memories, and long surrounded by these two words, of course, it was these two words that supported him to continue to move forward and become stronger in the past six months. Now it's okay, I haven't prepared to settle accounts with the martial family, and the martial arts have already found them by themselves, and it's not ordinary people who have come to the door, but the young head of the martial family, the hope of the future of the entire martial arts family - the martial enemy. On the way from Qizhongyuan to Qingcheng, Ye Chaoxiao's thoughts were extremely complicated, and he seemed to be thinking about how to deal with this Hongmen banquet set up by the enemy, however, until he walked to the door of Tianxiang Tower, he still didn't think of any countermeasures.

"You can only take one step at a time. Ye Chaoxiao thought like this, thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at the plaque above him with the three golden characters of "Tianxianglou", this is the most luxurious restaurant in Qingcheng, and it is usually the territory where the merry sons of the three major families in Qingcheng come and go, but today it seems to be extremely deserted, obviously it is time to eat, this restaurant is actually empty, and it is so quiet that it is almost unlikely. Ye Chaoxiao's face was slightly gloomy, and while slowly stepping into the restaurant, he secretly released his soul power perception, and the moment the soul power was perceived, he found out - this seemingly empty Tianxiang Building secretly buried a lot of manpower, these people are all good hands of the martial arts guard, there are more than 20 people in the battle division alone, and such a manpower configuration is enough to kill himself in an instant.

And in a luxurious attic on the third floor of this restaurant, Ye Chaoxiao also sensed a strong battle aura, even stronger than those war masters hidden in the restaurant, of course Ye Chaoxiao knew who it was, it was the planner of this Hongmen banquet, the proud son of the martial arts family and even the entire Qingcheng, the martial artist of the Wind King, one of the six kings of the inner courtyard of the Seven Loyal Courtyards! Perceiving all this, Ye Chaoxiao's hands trembled slightly, that's right, he was afraid, he was afraid, even at this point, Ye Chaoxiao himself realized that he was so timid. Obviously, he is already stronger than the original, I don't know how many times, but he is still afraid, afraid of the enemy, afraid of the martial family, and even more afraid of death. He told himself that he had just walked to the gate of the restaurant, and if he wanted to retreat at this time, everything would still be in time, but at the moment when such a thought appeared, he remembered the message on the piece of paper again, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and strode upstairs.

"Squeak—"

A luxurious and exquisite wooden door was pushed open, Ye Chaoxiao walked into the room, a huge mahogany round table in the room is particularly eye-catching, and what is more attractive is the food on the table, from mountain mushrooms to chicken, duck and fish, not only that, but all the delicacies are fragrant and attractive, which can be described as full of color and flavor. However, from the beginning, Ye Chaoxiao's attention was not on the table and the food on it, but looked at a white-clothed figure standing in the middle of the room with his back to him. From the back, he looks like an elegant scholar, but Ye Chaoxiao can keenly feel that hidden under that elegant appearance is a terrifying killing machine.

"Wu Chaoxiao, I have seen the senior of the martial enemy. ”

I don't know how long the silence passed, Ye Chaoxiao finally decided to speak, but at this time, his self-title changed from Ye Chaoxiao to Wu Chaoxiao, the name he originally used when he was in the martial arts...... It was a name that symbolized countless shames and pains for him. However, at this time, it is no longer important to use other names, since the martial enemy has sent him this invitation to the Hongmen Banquet, it proves that he has already known his identity by the martial artist behind him, and there is no need to blindly hide it.

"The junior brother is really frank...... It really makes me feel a little ashamed, then, should I call you a junior brother, or, cousin Chaoxiao?" Hearing Ye Chaoxiao's greeting, the martial enemy chuckled, and slowly turned around, holding a folding fan in his hand, plus the clean white clothes, giving people the demeanor of a handsome son. He shook the fan in his hand gently, and said unhurriedly, every time he said a word, Ye Chaoxiao's brows wrinkled even more, until now, Ye Chaoxiao did not understand the true intention of the military enemy to invite himself to this Hongmen banquet, but he had already seen the means of the military enemy to invite him to participate in this Hongmen banquet.

"Senior...... There's no one else here...... No, the entire Tianxiang Building is full of martial artists, so there's no need to talk nonsense...... You don't hesitate to threaten me with my mother, what the hell do you want me to do? Looking at the smug smile on the face of the martial enemy who seemed to have everything in mind, Ye Chaoxiao said with the anger in his heart. The letter sent by the military enemy that day was not just a few words on that piece of paper, but also a certificate of the flow of funds developed by the martial arts treasury in the envelope.

"Construction and Repair of the New Courtyard in the Back Mountain of the Samurai Family"

Samurai Houshan ...... The mountain behind the martial arts, which is rarely visited even in the martial arts, may be an ordinary place in the eyes of the martial arts family, but that place is extremely important to Ye Chaoxiao, because that place is the burial place of Ye Chaoxiao's mother!
