Chapter 157: It was an old acquaintance
"Whoosh-"
A golden flash flashed from the teleportation array on the floor, and Ling Xiaozhi's figure reappeared in everyone's sight, and he walked out of the teleportation array quickly, but his face was a little heavy. Looking at his somewhat blue face, Xiao Yihan stepped forward and asked suspiciously:
"Ling Xiaozhi, what's wrong with you?"
"It's fine, but I'm going to leave. β
"Aren't you going to come with us?"
"You don't have to say I'm in the way when I come with you...... Really, remember to tell the dean when I go back that I might have to come back later. After saying this, Ling Xiaozhi left in a hurry, and before Xiao Yihan and the others could ask anything more, Ling Xiaozhi's figure had already disappeared from their sight.
"This guy is really...... Sister Xiaoqing, you can stay here too, I'll go back as soon as I go. Looking at Ling Xiaozhi's rapidly disappearing figure, Xiao Yihan sighed, turned around and looked at Lou Yuqing next to him, revealing a sunny smile, and then walked straight into the magic circle in front of him. Xiang Bucai also urged the formation at this time, and Xiao Yihan's figure disappeared without a trace in a flash of light-
When Xiao Yihan reacted, he had already appeared in a closed room, he looked around, the furniture was very simple, it was not luxurious, and in front of him, a slightly chubby middle-aged man was looking at him with a smile on his face. Xiao Yihan walked out of the teleportation array quickly, came to the middle-aged man, bowed a little stiffly, and said:
"The junior Xiao Yihan has seen President Xiang. β
"Xiao Gongzi, I often hear Xiang Bucai talk about you, then again, when I was in the Yuehua Mountains, it was thanks to Xiao Gongzi who rescued the clumsy son, otherwise I am afraid that my Xiang family will be cut off from now on." After looking Xiao Yihan up and down, Xiang Tianzheng said approvingly, although the young man in front of him is obviously immature compared to Ling Xiaozhi in terms of human sophistication, but he is not weak in cultivation at all, and the peak of the seventh-stage battle guard may go further anytime and anywhere. Moreover, Xiang Tianzheng had heard about Xiao Yihan's deeds in Xiang Bucai's mouth many times, and when he really saw it, he had to sigh at the strength of this young man.
"I praised the president, that's what I should have done. Xiao Yihan bowed again and said, it was at this time that Xiang Tianzheng suddenly discovered that Xiao Yihan was actually carrying a huge and somewhat exaggerated sword behind his back, and even the scabbard was made of black jade that could block the breath, which was not consistent with what Xiang Bucai said about holding a long sword. Then he asked with some curiosity:
"Xiao Gongzi, I heard that kid from my family say that you are good at swordsmanship, can you let me take a look at your sword?"
"This ...... Anyway, to the president, please. Xiao Yihan hesitated for a while, and then thought that Xiang Tianzheng had no reason to do anything to himself and this sword, so he readily agreed, took off the Junyan sword he was carrying, held the sword in both hands, and handed it to Xiang Tianzheng. Xiang Tianzheng also took the sword solemnly, but found that the weight of this giant sword was much heavier than he imagined, and then he pulled out the sword hard, and a fiery breath came to his face, which frightened Xiang Tianzheng.
"The price of the Flame Blood Jade, even if it is just the size of a fingernail, is already tens of thousands, and Xiao Gongzi's divine sword is actually made from a whole piece of Flame Blood Jade...... Wait......" Feeling the oncoming hot breath, Xiang Tianzheng's eyes were full of surprise, the flame blood jade was such a rare treasure, how could he, as the president of the East Pole Chamber of Commerce, not know the goods? But it was at this time that he suddenly saw the words engraved on the body of the giant sword, and the surprise in his eyes immediately turned into a shock, and even his body couldn't help but tremble-
"The sword in the gentleman's handβ"
"President Xiang, who are you?" Seeing Xiang Tianzheng's sudden movement, Xiao Yihan suddenly panicked, didn't know what was going on, and asked puzzledly. But before he could react, one of Xiang Tianzheng's arms was placed on Xiao Yihan's shoulder, and his eyes were full of excitement that even he didn't know how many years he hadn't seen, Xiang Tianzheng worked hard to calm himself down, control his emotions, and said to Xiao Yihan intermittently:
"Xiao Gongzi...... Can you tell me where this sword came from?"
"This ...... This sword, according to my Uncle Wuming, was left to me by my father...... Wait, do you know this sword, President Xiang?" Seeing the appearance of the dignified president of the Dongji Chamber of Commerce, Xiao Yihan was a little flustered, and also said intermittently, before the words came out, he suddenly realized something, and asked Xiang Tianzheng with some excitement.
"Right...... The surname is Xiao, and his age is also right...... Xiao Gongzi ...... Forgive the old man for talking too much, is the name of this sword called 'Jun Yan'?"
"How do you know......?
"Sure enough, no wonder you are so young and handsome, it turns out that you are his son...... Xiao Gongzi, no, Xiao Xian's nephew, do you know where your father has been all these years?" Hearing Xiao Yihan's answer, Xiang Tianzheng took a long breath, gradually calmed down, and muttered to himself while returning the Junyan Sword in his hand to Xiao Yihan. After a pause, he asked Xiao Yihan again, this time not only in tone, but also in the title of Xiao Yihan from the so-called 'son' to 'virtuous nephew'.
"Father...... I've never seen him before......" Hearing Xiang Tianzheng's eager inquiry, Xiao Yihan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head, and said in a low voice, for him, the parents who had never seen him seemed to have always been a dream that he was reluctant to mention. Especially his father, this image was only known from Cao Wuming's dictation when he was a child, although there was some information, but the real connection was as vague as a shadow in the water. I don't know why, since Xiao Yihan grew up, Cao Wuming has kept silent about his life experience, and Xiao Yihan has no way to understand what happened back then.
"It seems that you don't know anything about your father, son, sit down, I'll tell you some things back then-" Xiang Tian is exactly what kind of person, even in his excited emotions, he can keenly perceive Xiao Yihan's lost mood, and the sad expression Xiang Tianzheng also put it in his eyes. He sighed, and said slowly to Xiao Yihan, with a wave of his robe, a seat appeared behind Xiao Yihan, and Xiao Yihan sat down obediently after hearing it-
"I guess Bu Cai has already told you about my retreat because of an accident...... It wasn't actually an accident, I was already famous in my early thirties at that time, so my father gave me the position of president of the East Pole Chamber of Commerce early, but at that time I was still young after all, and my edge was too exposed, so I was calculated, and I was assassinated on the way again, and I was seriously injured. Just when I was about to be killed by those gangsters, your father appeared, and he alone held this Junyan sword, and easily killed all those killers whose cultivation was far superior to mine with his own strength, and healed me to survive. Although his cultivation was greatly reduced because of his injuries this time, he was able to save his life. Since then, I have searched far and wide for news of your father, but there has been no news, and to this day I have found no more than his name and title. Xiang Tianzheng also sat down, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said slowly to Xiao Yihan. Xiao Yihan, who was listening carefully on the side, looked shocked, almost couldn't believe what he heard, and after a long time, the surprise in his eyes gradually subsided, and the thousand words in his heart condensed into a ball and choked in Xiao Yihan's throat, but he couldn't say the words he wanted to express.
"Actually, getting your father's name and title is not a big gain, because not to mention the East Pole Domain, even if it is the entire Reincarnation Continent, mixed with my level, most of them know your father and his title-"
"Sword Master, Xiao Pingfeng!"
