Xiao Ziruo heard Xiao Youming's words, and carefully recalled what Wu Hanqi and his two guards said on the way back to Yanmen Pass Fortress from the Barren Plains, and after a long time, she shook her head and replied: "Uncle! Wu Gongzi and his subordinates seem to be a little defensive about me, and they hardly say anything along the way, except for accidentally mentioning the Heaven Swallowing Gate. ”

Xiao Youming saw that he couldn't get useful clues from Xiao Ziruo, and a look of disappointment unconsciously appeared on his face, but so far, only their Xiao family knew that the disciples of the Heaven Swallowing Sect had reappeared in the Mayan Plain, which meant that their Xiao family had grasped the opportunity that other sects and families did not grasp.

If the disciples of the Xiao family learn the secret method of the Five Elements initiate, the Xiao family will be able to go deep into the Barren Plains and obtain some of the minerals contained in the Barren Plains, and they will be able to easily hunt the demons, and obtain the magic crystals from the demons to improve the level of the spiritual root, and strengthen the strength of the Xiao family.

Thinking of this, Xiao Youming even felt as if he saw that the Xiao family, under his leadership, had changed from a middle-level family to a high-level family, and finally became the overlord of the Tianqian Continent, which made Xiao Youming's heart suddenly ignite a flame.

At this moment, Xiao Youming's brain spun rapidly, and it wasn't until a long time later that he spoke: "This young man surnamed Wu will refuse to come to our Xiao family as a guest, obviously because he doesn't want others to know that he is a disciple of the Swallowing Heaven Gate, but our Xiao family is also a family that knows how to repay kindness, and people have helped us." We don't say anything about the past. ”

When Xiao Youming said this, he paused slightly, and then instructed Xiao Youbin and Xiao Ziruo: "Second brother, you take Ziruo to Luoyang City to find out." If you can still meet that Wu Gongzi, if you do, you will invite him to come to our Tianshi City as a guest under the pretext of thanking him for saving Ziruo and Qing'er. ”

Xiao Youbin and Xiao Youming are brothers, how could they not understand that his eldest brother wants to obtain Wu Hanqi's Five Elements Fellow Practitioner's Secret Method, he would say this, he is completely fooling his daughter, but as an elder of the Xiao family. He was not disgusted by Xiao Youming's behavior, stood up from his seat with a smile, and replied, "Big brother, you can leave this matter to me with confidence." I took Ruo'er to Luoyang City to find Wu Gongzi and thanked him in person. ”

Although Xiao Ziruo has been married to the Wu family for several years, she knows her father's character very well, and when she heard her father say that she would immediately take her to Luoyang City to find Wu Hanqi. I vaguely guessed the intentions of my father and uncle. At this time, she instinctively refused: "Daddy, uncle, at the beginning, the Wu family helped our Xiao family obtain the spirit stone vein mine in Beishan, and it is not necessary that you have thanked the Wu family well, but now that Wu Gongzi only saved me and Qing'er, you can't wait to thank Wu Gongzi, I think your drunkard is probably not in the bar?"

Xiao Youming didn't expect that his intentions would be discovered by Xiao Ziruo, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all by Xiao Ziruo's words, but said to Xiao Ziruo very calmly: "Ziruo! You're right, I'll let your father accompany you to Luoyang City." In addition to thanking the Wu Gongzi who saved you, the main reason is for the Five Elements initiates he has learned. ”

"You should know very well. In our Tianqian Continent, there will be a war between us humans and demons almost every ten years, and every time we successfully defeat the demons, we have also paid a very heavy price, so being able to master the secret method of the Five Elements initiates means that our family can not be afraid of the demons, and continue to obtain magic crystals from the demons. ”

"The Heaven Swallowing Gate has long been destroyed in the minds of all the sects and family leaders in the Tianqian Continent, no one knows that the Heaven Swallowing Gate will continue until now, this is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for our Xiao family, whether the Xiao family can become the top family in the Tianqian Continent from an ordinary family, it depends on whether we can grasp this opportunity. ”

"But don't worry, that Wu Gongzi is your life-saving benefactor after all, and we will naturally not do that kind of thing of revenge unless it is absolutely necessary, so you only need to accompany your father to Luoyang City this time, find the Wu Gongzi who saved you, and invite Wu Gongzi to come to our Xiao family as a guest, and then we will choose one of your sisters to marry Wu Gongzi, so as to draw in the relationship between us and Wu Gongzi." ”

"Of course, it can be found that the Heaven Swallowing Gate has continued until now, and you are the greatest hero of our Xiao family, so in order to reward you, we will take out some magic crystals from the family's treasury to increase Qing'er's spiritual root, and then you will be able to use Qing'er is the five elements spiritual root as an excuse to let Qing'er worship Wu Gongzi as a teacher, and use this method to obtain Wu Gongzi's Five Elements Initiate Secret Method. ”

Xiao Ziruo knew very well that in her uncle's heart, the interests of the family were above everything else, otherwise she would not have married far away to Wei Shuicheng, but Xiao Youming's proposal to help her daughter improve the Five Elements Spirit Root made Xiao Ziruo very tempted, but she didn't dare to fully believe Xiao Youming's words, and asked Xiao Youming suspiciously: "Uncle, are you really willing to use the magic crystal stored by the family to help Qing'er improve the Five Elements Spirit Root?"

Xiao Youming saw that Xiao Ziruo's heart was moved, a wise look flashed in his eyes, and he replied with a smile: "Ziruo, you are so old, when did the uncle lie to you, don't worry, as long as you help us find that Wu Gongzi, the uncle will immediately fulfill his promise to you." ”

When Xiao Ziruo heard Xiao Youming's assurance, she thought that Wu Hanqi had saved her mother and daughter, and she didn't know why she always had a feeling of unsteadiness in her heart, and asked Xiao Youming: "Uncle, if Wu Gongzi is not willing to come to our Tianshi City, will you force Wu Gongzi to come? You must know that he is the life-saving benefactor of me and Qing'er." ”

Xiao Youming faced Xiao Ziruo's question, knowing that Xiao Ziruo didn't fully believe his words, if it was on weekdays, he could directly use the authority of the head of the family to ask Xiao Ziruo to do so, but Xiao Ziruo was already married, and the only person who knew Wu Hanqi at present was Xiao Ziruo, at this moment, he could only use Huairou means and replied to Xiao Ziruo: "Ziruo! Uncle knows what you are worried about, if it is not a last resort, Uncle will definitely not embarrass you." ”

"You should know very well how important the secret method of the Five Elements initiates is to our Xiao family, to put it mildly, as long as you master the secret method of the Five Elements initiates, it will be difficult for our Xiao family to be strong or not, for the future of the Xiao family, for the Xiao family to become a super family in the Tianqian Continent, between the gains and losses of the family and individuals, I hope you can understand the decision made by the uncle. ”

Xiao Ziruo heard Xiao Youming's answer, and she was already very clear in her heart, the family's decision, although the conditions offered by the family made her very good, but when she thought of Wu Hanqi's life-saving grace to their mother and daughter, she obviously hesitated, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Uncle, if it weren't for Wu Gongzi, Qing'er and I wouldn't have been able to come back this time, if our Xiao family did this, wouldn't it make me an unkind and unrighteous person?"

Although you are married, you are the daughter of the Xiao family after all, whether you have a status in the Wu family depends on how strong our Xiao family is, and your husband has fallen, if you return to the Wu family with your daughter, I am afraid that the people of the Wu family will not give you a good look, and you will be able to rely on our Xiao family in the future. ”

"And as I said just now, as long as you invite Gongzi Wu to our Xiao family, you will choose one of your sisters to marry Gongzi Wu, and then use this relationship to let Qing'er, who has the spiritual root of the Five Elements, worship Gongzi Wu as a teacher, so that we can obtain the secret method of the Five Elements initiates unknowingly, and you don't have to worry about being considered unkind and unjust. ”

"Of course, if Wu Gongzi is unwilling to help, then it's another matter, after all, we have already saluted first and then soldiers, and it is he who is not interested in it, so he has to take revenge with grace. When Xiao Youming said this, he subconsciously glanced at Xiao Youbin, who was deeply afraid.

Xiao Youbin and Xiao Youming are brothers, naturally they know the meaning of Xiao Youming's eyes very well, although Xiao Ziruo is his daughter, but the daughter who married out spilled the water, Qing'er is even his granddaughter, but the surname is Wu and not Xiao, and it is naturally impossible for the Xiao family to use resources on the children of the Wu family.

However, in order to let Xiao Ziruo cooperate with them to find Wu Hanqi, at this time, Xiao Youbin cooperated and persuaded Xiao Ziruo: "Ziruo! what your uncle said is right, Zhongping is dead, even if you take Qing'er back to the Wu family with you, the people of the Wu family will not give you a good look, and as long as you invite Wu Gongzi to the family, your uncle will use the magic crystals collected in the family treasury to help Qing'er supplement the missing spiritual root, so that Qing'er can have the qualifications of the Five Elements Initiates, and you, as Qing'er's mother, should think about Qing'er even if you don't think about the family." ”

At this time, Xiao Ziruo's mood was very conflicted, and she didn't know what choice to make, until she heard her father's words, and finally selfishness overshadowed her conscience, and said to the senior management of the Xiao family: "Okay! Then I'll go back and settle Qing'er, and then accompany my father to Luoyang City." ”

Xiao Youming was very happy when he saw that Xiao Ziruo had agreed to go to Luoyang City, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Ziruo! Then you can go back and settle Qing'er first, and then go to the family gate to meet your father." ”

Xiao Ziruo nodded subconsciously when she heard Xiao Youming's words, and then said hello to the other elders of the Xiao family, and walked out of the family meeting hall.

"Big brother, there are only more than ten magic crystals in our family's treasure house, and the probability of success in increasing the Five Elements Spiritual Root is far lower than that of raising the level of the Spirit Root, are you really willing to use these Spirit Roots to help Qing'er increase the Five Elements Spiritual Root?" Xiao Youbin saw his daughter walk out of the council hall, thinking of the number of magic crystals stored in the family treasure house, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Youming. (To be continued.) )
