Chapter 17: The Great Elder's Birthday

Tianyou returned in the early morning, Dayue City had fallen silent, looking at the five-meter-high city wall, Tianyou climbed with both feet, and lightly crossed the city wall with his feet three times on the city wall, landing steadily, without raising a little dust.

The guards of Dayue City are very strict, even as the young patriarch of the Xiao family, Tianyou, cannot enter or leave the city after 22 o'clock in the evening. And since he went to the Burial Bone Land to train, Tianyou often returned to Big Moon City very late.

In order not to spend the night outside, Tianyou chose to climb over the wall, which was naturally very easy for him as a thief in his previous life, but for any cultivator who tried to climb over the wall of Dayue City to enter the period, he would be ruthlessly killed in seconds because of the use of true qi.

And the five-meter-high wall is naturally difficult for ordinary people, not to mention the class system of the Imperial Power Continent, ordinary people will not be bored to come here to look for death.

As an alternative to the Imperial Power Continent, Tianyou did not dare to use the Yuan Qi, after all, the Yuan Qi also belonged to a kind of energy, and if another accident occurred, the gains would outweigh the losses.

Entering the city, Tianyou walked forward non-stop, and with a slight jump, Tianyou entered the mountain behind Xiao's house.

Every big family in Big Moon City will have a back mountain for the clansmen to carry out activities or cultivate.

"When I was 5 years old, when I, Yuxi and the children of the Xiao family were playing wildly here, it was also the happiest time for me to come to this world. Unfortunately, that will not happen again. ”

Looking at the City Lord's Mansion, the tallest building in the center of the city that was still brightly lit, "Since the last time we separated, I don't know how Yuxi is doing now?" Tianyou looked to the north again, "Tsing Yi, I don't know how I am doing in Lanshan Academy, and how much has my cultivation improved?"

Since Tsing Yi got revenge, when he returned to Xiao's house, he was sent to the academy by Tianyou's grandfather to practice, and Tianyou's mother's alma mater, Lanshan College.

As for the black cub, after sucking half of the blood in Tianyou's body at one time half a year ago, he fell into a deep sleep. In order not to disturb it, Tianyou put it in the spirit bag and threw it into the Void Realm.

"Hey!" was sentimental, but Tianyou did not stop.

"Someone?" Tianyou burrowed directly into the grass next to him, hiding his breath.

After a while, an old man in yellow sneakily walked into Tianyou's field of vision.

"Isn't this the Great Elder, why did he come out so late, and he was so cautious?"

After the Great Elder hurried over, Tianyou followed cautiously, not that Tianyou loves to meddle in things, but this Great Elder of the Xiao family, Tianyou never felt that he was a good person, for the sake of the Xiao family, for the sake of grandpa and mother, Tianyou had to follow to see what he wanted to do so late, so sneaky.

In a moment, the Great Elder stood in a relatively hidden position, and a black-robed masked man walked out of the woods, threw a small paper bag, and quickly left.

The Great Elder clutched the small paper bag tightly and did not speak, and quickly turned around and went home.

"A small paper bag, does it need to be so mysterious?" Tianyou was speechless, and then followed home.

Back in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family, Tianyou's grandfather and mother have been waiting here for a long time.

"Little Bean, you can let us wait, you sit down for me. "Tianyou's mother still gives Tianyou, who is almost sixteen years old, a headache.

The pinched ears are painful, Tianyou has long been used to it, and in order to find this kind of family affection, Tianyou from the other world never deliberately resists this kind of education from family affection.

"Mom, Mom, didn't I come back? Please, let go, let go, it hurts!"

"Alright, Meiling. Alright, sit down. "Grandpa Tianyou on the side didn't stop him, but just helped Tianyou get out of the sea of suffering in a timely manner.

"Hmph!" Tianyou's mother sat aside angrily.

"You'er, what are you gaining from this outing, your mother and I thought that you would not attend tomorrow's Great Elder's birthday banquet. Tianyou's grandfather stroked Tianyou's head and asked with concern.

"Xiao Doudou, tomorrow the Shangguan City Lord and the important people of the big and small families of Dayue City will come, you are now the young patriarch of the Xiao family, if you don't participate, do you know the impact on you? If you really don't participate, you are nakedly slapping the big elder in the face. ”

"Your days will only get uglier in the future. Xiaodouzi, the Xiao family is not the Xiao family when your father was in charge. Your grandfather and I can protect you for a while, but we can't protect you for a lifetime, you must learn to grow. Although Tianyou's mother hates Tianyou for not becoming steel, her concern is all written on her face.

"Mom, I went out this time mainly because I encountered strangeness, so I came back late. Tianyou released a faint and dark red vitality, indicating that he had entered and began to move towards the late congenital stage.

To be honest, if it weren't for Grandpa's reminder, Tianyou would have really forgotten that today was the birthday of the Great Elder, and he would have gone home early just for the upcoming coming-of-age ceremony.

"Well, You'er, yes, you are worthy of being a member of my Xiao family, although you have inferior qualifications, you can still achieve this cultivation at the age of less than 16, which is the best performance of diligence and clumsiness. However, the Xiao family's "Tianyan Gong" is defined as only high-class qualifications can be cultivated, and it is a blessing that you can cultivate, but you must also be cautious, otherwise it is easy to gain more than you lose, understand?" Tianyou's grandfather said solemnly.

Tianyou looked at his grandfather with disdain in his heart, "What kind of Tianyan Gong am I cultivating, if I continue to cultivate that, it is estimated that I am still dreaming in the same place." ”

However, now Tianyou feels that the time is not ripe enough, and he can't say that he is actually a martial artist right now, as for the soul crossing and rebirth, Tianyou will definitely rot it in his stomach and not tell anyone.

"Xiao Doudou, although your cultivation has greatly improved, we are all happy for you, but you still have to learn to deal with it, otherwise the Xiao family will really be handed over to you in the future, what are you going to do?"

"Hey, if your dad knew that you now had the strength to compare to the Xiao family's first-day talent, maybe he wouldn't have left the Xiao family so early, and you would have suffered less blows. Ay. Tianyou's mother began to speak seriously, but she became sad in a blink of an eye.

"Meiling, this may be fate, the Xiao family has a great cause, You'er, you must remember what we said in the secret room last time. The future of the Xiao family can only depend on you and your father. Let's all go to sleep, and start welcoming guests early tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay, Grandpa (Daddy). ”

On the second day, the Xiao family opened the door early, the red light was hung on the wall, all kinds of festive ornaments, silk and satin were hung all over the Xiao family, and all kinds of festive music played by using the true qi also sounded, and the people who listened to it were happy.

And as the great elder of the Xiao family, his birthday is naturally eligible for this kind of treatment.

Since noon, guests from all walks of life have come one after another, and the high-level officials of the Xiao family have been waiting at the door in three-color robes, and Tianyou is naturally among them.

"Shi Wei, the head of the Shi family, 1,000 medium-grade spirit stones, and a medium-grade spirit weapon. ”

"Ran Qing, the head of the Ran family, 1,000 medium-grade spirit stones, ten spiritual qi pills, and a medium-grade spiritual weapon. ”

"Wu Manqing, the head of the Wu family, 2000 medium-grade spirit stones, and a medium-grade spirit weapon. ”

"Lin Hongyang, the head of the Lin family, 2,500 medium-grade spirit stones, five bottles of Zhuqi Dan, a medium-grade spiritual weapon, and a medium-grade aromatherapy suckling pig. ”

......

The small and medium-sized family forces in Dayue City came to congratulate them first, although these families are small and incomparable to the Xiao family, but in order to survive, even if it is difficult, they will come up with what they can handle.

"I wish Elder Xiao that his longevity is longer than that of Nanshan Immortal Pine, and his youth is always there. ”

"I wish the old birthday star happiness such as the East China Sea, evergreen, and a breakthrough every year. ”

......

"I wish the Great Elder Fuyuan Guangjin, cultivation is more advanced, and the Xiao family is stronger. ”

"Haha, please come in, please come in, please go to the lobby of the Xiao family and take a seat. The elder of the Xiao family was wearing a three-color red robe, listening to the praise of him, and with a smile on his face, he motioned to the people who came to congratulate him to enter the Xiao family, and the arranged maids took them in one by one.

When the time comes, the sun has begun to set in the west, and all kinds of people are still appearing in an endless stream, looking at the families from other cities, as well as some small families from the towns outside the city of Dayue, Tianyou is standing numb in his legs and feet, and he is about to fall asleep.

"Little Doudou, I know you're boring, but you have to persevere. Tianyou's mother looked at Tianyou's impatience, grabbed Tianyou's hand tightly and encouraged.

"Got it, Mom. Seeing that someone was coming again, Tianyou instantly stood straight.

"Li Nantian, the head of the Li family in Dayue City, has 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, a spirit elixir, a hundred jars of medium-grade aged wine, and a high-grade spirit weapon. ”

"Wang Yanzhi, the head of the Wang family in Dayue City, has 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, fifty bottles of spiritual qi pills, three spirit pills, one strong pill, and one low-grade spirit armor. ”

"It is worthy of the alchemy family of Dayue City, and the precious pills that must be used in this innate period are given at will. Tianyou said in surprise.

The use of the aura pill in the innate stage of qi cultivation is more than ten times better than the direct use of the spirit stone, and the spirit pill is the spirit pill that must be used to break through the innate nature, with this pill, it can be said that the breakthrough is basically no hindrance.

And the Mighty Pill is a Xuan-level low-grade pill that can fight beyond the level. It can be said that if this pill is taken by a cultivator at the peak of the congenital peak, it can fight against the cultivator in the early stage of the golden pill, but this pill is a forbidden drug, and the forbidden medicine will have a time limit and sequelae, so this pill must be used only when it is not possible.

In particular, the spirit armor is a rare defensive armor on the Imperial Power Continent, although it is only a low-grade or an unfinished set, but the preciousness is not weak at all, and the high-grade spiritual weapon is not weak.

"Tsk, the items sent by the Li family are complete shit compared to them. ”

But when he saw the girl behind Wang Yanzhi, Tianyou's eyes lit up, presumably this was Wang Xicheng of the Wang family.

Tianyou has been around Yuxi and Tsing Yi, and has seen Xiao Ling, Yuxi has an outstanding figure, pretty and generous; Tsing Yi, big eyes, and extremely cute, and that Xiao Ling is completely a cold beauty, which makes people unapproachable, but it attracts everyone to want it.

But this Wang Xicheng's beauty is another kind of beauty, fair skin, a little baby fat, but the tall figure completely covers up her shortcomings, but baby fat with excellent appearance, figure, is it a shortcoming? Tianyou feels that this just sets off a little cuteness hidden in Wang Xicheng's beauty.

Tianyou looked at his appearance for the first time, and compared with Yuxi, Tsing Yi, and Xiao Ling, he was ranked after the three beauties of Dayue, which should be because of his family status.

However, Wang Xicheng sensed Tianyou's gaze, glanced at Tianyou, snorted, and followed his father in. ”

"Shangguan Honglie, the city lord of Dayue City, has ten thousand top-grade spirit stones, one top-grade spirit sword, and three creation pills. ”

"Wow, the city lord is the city lord, this shot directly compares the other families completely, the creation pill, the Jindan period breakthrough can increase the probability of breaking through by 40%, although it is not 100%, but the 40% chance, the probability of breaking through is less than 1% compared to the direct breakthrough, it is self-evident. ”

Tianyou saw Yuxi who was frowning at him, and he didn't think much about it anymore, and gave him a deep smile.

Yuxi wanted to stand by Tianyou's side, but knowing his father's prejudice against Tianyou, he could only give Tianyou a spoken word, so he followed in.

At the beginning of the birthday, the guests who had come to Xiao's house to participate in it were happy to drink wine and eat meat. Yuxi secretly sat next to Tianyou when his father was chatting with Tianyou's grandfather, and the two didn't speak, but Yuxi's face was full of happiness.

"I have a proposal. At this moment, Li Nantian of the Li family of Dayue City raised his glass.

The crowd was also attracted by his voice, and pricked up their ears to listen to what he was going to say.

"It's rare for the city lord to arrive today, I think everyone knows that the young patriarch of the Xiao family has always been at odds with Elder Xiao, I propose that at this important moment, Patriarch Xiao should give Elder Xiao a toast and turn the conflict into a jade silk. Castle Lord, did you say?"

"Horse Egg" Tianyou's body was trembling, he wanted to explode, go up and beat this Li family patriarch who didn't open the pot in front of everyone, even if he couldn't beat it, Tianyou had to vent this breath in his heart.

Tianyou's grandfather and mother were also surprised, but at this time, it was impossible for them to turn their faces with Li Nantian.

"Xiao Tianyou, the unity of the family is the foundation of the development of the family, and the overall unity of the family cannot be affected by personal reasons. Old man, did you say?"

"Yes, yes, the elder of the Xiao family has done his best for the Xiao family, and as a young patriarch, he should also be respected. Everyone at the wine table listened to the words of the city lord, and they also coaxed and said, it seemed that they really wanted the Xiao family to unite, but if someone could listen to his heart, then it would definitely be a different feeling.

It's just that on this occasion, if you know the relationship between the city lord of Dayue City and the Xiao family, you naturally don't dare to say anything else.

Feeling the encouragement and support of the hands of the old mother and Yuxi on the back, Tianyou didn't want to participate in this banquet and left the table directly, but he couldn't wipe the face of his relatives, so he picked up the wine glass and strode to the big elder at the side table.

Tianyou saw the disgusting face of Li Nantian, who seemed to have succeeded in his treacherous scheme, "I have written down this hatred Xiao Tianyou." It's a disgrace! an absolute disgrace!"

"Let's raise a glass together to wish our elders of the Xiao family happiness such as the East China Sea, the sun and the moon are prosperous, the pine crane is long, the spring and autumn are not old, the ancient is rare, and the children and grandchildren are full. At the same time, I wish you all happiness and good health. ”

Tianyou held the wine glass, and while blessing the great elder, he also raised his glass to bless all the guests present, arrogantly and gracefully, since he wanted to do it, he had to do a full set.

"Great Elder, thank you for your teachings, boy, thank you enough, I toast you. ”

"Thank you young patriarch for your love and hard work. !"

After clinking glasses, the two drank it all in one gulp,

"Everyone eats and drinks well. Tianyou turned to the crowd and strode back to his place.

"Hmph, kid tonight will be your death day, my birthday and your death day, although it is very ridiculous, but for the sake of the Xiao family, you must die. The Great Elder didn't look at Tianyou anymore, sat down, and continued to drink and chat with the others.

"Okay, good, good, come, come, come, let's have a full drink. Li Nantian once again boldly activated the atmosphere on the wine table.

"!"

"!"

......

Tianyou returned to his seat and didn't speak.

"Xiao Doudou, don't behave badly, go back and make you a table of delicious food. ”

"Brother Doudou, Yuxi supports you. ”

Tianyou smiled at his mother and Yuxi to express his gratitude.

"What the hell was that strange smell just now? Tianyou took another sip of wine, but the taste just now was gone.

"Am I hallucinating?" Feeling that there was nothing wrong with the body, Tianyou didn't think much about it, and accompanied his mother and Yuxi to say something.

The birthday of the Great Elder came to an end with the arrival of late night. However, there was also an episode during the period, when the Wang family of Dayue City asked the Xiao family to marry the Xiao family, targeting Xiao Xiaotian, the genius of the Xiao family.

Tianyou naturally won't be jealous, but he understands why the Wang family will send so many good things, it turns out that this is because of this reason. It's a pity that Tianyou saw Xiao Xiaotian's eyes on Xiao Ling during the banquet and knew that this marriage would basically be no longer in the future.

On the birthday of the Great Elder, Tianyou felt an obvious change in Yuxi's father's attitude towards him, his eyes revealed disgust before, but it seems that since the last test, this kind of look no longer exists, and now there is more of a calm in his eyes.

When I returned to the bedroom, when I was already ugly, sleepiness struck, and Tianyou also fell asleep deeply.
