A moment later, Ji Tianxing followed Xiao Han into the main hall of Tingfeng Garden.

The guards went to report the news, and the two sat down to drink tea in the main hall and waited patiently.

It wasn't long before the guard returned and came back with a gray-haired old man in a white robe.

The old man was six feet tall, with a somewhat rickety body, a cane in his hand, and a little staggering in his steps.

His countenance was withered and sensitive, and he looked like he was in his last years, and he was about to die.

The vicissitudes of life on his old face were full of wrinkles, and in his deeply sunken eyes, his eyes were a little dim, and the mana aura in his body was also very dim.

Ji Tianxing could see that this old man was originally an extraordinary powerhouse in the Soul Refining Realm.

However, the old man is very old, and he has dark wounds and hidden diseases in his body, so his qi and blood are withered, his soul power is weak, and his time is running out.

When Xiao Han saw the old man's appearance, he immediately stood up, revealing an expression full of disbelief on his face, and called out in a worried tone.

"Third uncle, your old man's injuries ...... Is it relapsing?"

As he spoke, he hurriedly greeted him, supported the white-haired old man, and sat down on the first place.

The white-haired old man was the third elder, and after he sat down slowly, a smile appeared on his dry old face, he looked at Xiao Han with kind eyes, and nodded: "Xiao Han, you are back!"

I haven't seen you for more than 20 years, you still haven't changed at all, and seeing you getting better and better, the old man is relieved, cough cough ......"

As he spoke, the three elders coughed violently.

He covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and a dark red blood stain faintly appeared on the white silk, which was shocking.

Xiao Han became more and more worried, and hurriedly asked, "Third Uncle, you have been recuperating in the clan, why did your injuries suddenly recur and worsen? Is something wrong?"

The third elder barely squeezed out a kind smile, waved his hand and said, "Nothing happened, it's that the third uncle is old and frail, and he can't bear it......"

Before he could finish speaking, the guard beside him couldn't help but mutter: "The third elder is already in poor health, and he needs a set of six legal treasures in the clan, so the third elder can only work hard to refine, which greatly hurts his vitality."

However, those young masters and young ladies begged the three elders to refine magic weapons for them in three days, so that they could win a good ranking in the Holy Fire Festival assessment......"

This guard is the captain of the guard of Tingfeng Yuan, and he is also a close confidant of the three elders, so of course he knows the real reason.

He was very aware of the third elder's injury and situation, and he was worried and angry in his heart, so he couldn't help but speak out.

When Xiao Han heard this, he immediately frowned, and said with anger on his face: "These little rabbit cubs are really too unreasonable! In order to fight for the opportunity to leave the Xiao clan, they actually came up with this method!"

No wonder Third Uncle, your injuries have worsened...... What's the name of those little rabbit cubs? I'm going to settle accounts with their elders!"

The guard hurriedly replied: "Young Master Xiao Chong in the second room, Miss Xiao Xue in the fifth room......"

Before he could finish speaking, the Third Elder raised his hand to interrupt him, "Shut up! Aren't the younger generation of disciples working hard to cultivate just to see the outside world?"

These little guys are very good, how can the old man bear to refuse them?

Xiao Han, don't pursue this matter, let them go. ”

"Third uncle, but your body ......" Xiao Han was still angry and refused to give up.

The third elder shook his head lightly and said, "I won't mention this matter!Xiao Han, you haven't introduced the old man yet, this person next to you is ......."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Ji Tianxing, and a kind smile appeared on his old face.

Xiao Han hurriedly introduced: "Third Uncle, this is the Young Master Ji I mentioned in the letter before, the most important Tianchen Domain Lord of the Emperor, and the most outstanding Emperor of the Emperor's Mansion!"

Ji Tianxing bowed to the three elders and said, "Junior Ji Tianxing, I have seen the three elders. ”

The third elder's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded with joy: "Okay! Sure enough, he is worthy of being the first day of the human race, what a heroic and extraordinary Tianjiao!"

Ji Tianxing showed a kind smile and said modestly: "The third elder has a good reputation. ”

The third elder leaned on crutches and said to Xiao Han in a serious tone: "Xiao Han, although everyone knows the identity of Ji Gongzi, it cannot be mentioned to others in the Xiao clan.

Regarding the matter of meeting the ancestors, several other clans were always opposed.

The old man tried his best to get everyone's consent and allow you to go to see the old ancestor. ”

Xiao Han nodded in understanding, and said, "Thank you, Third Uncle, for bothering you." ”

The Third Elder waved his hand and admonished, "However, after the Holy Fire Festival is over, the Old Ancestor will not see you.

In the past few days, you should first stay in the Tingfeng Garden and have a good rest. ”

With that, the third elder ordered the guards beside him, "Take them to the guest room." ”

Xiao Han could only salute and retreat, took Ji Tianxing out of the main hall, and followed the guards to the guest room in the side courtyard.

After Xiao Han and Ji Tianxing left, the three elders couldn't help coughing a few more times, and their dry faces became even more sallow.

At this time, another guard rushed to the door of the main hall and respectfully reported: "Third Elder Qiqi, Young Master Chen and Miss Ling'er are back and are asking to see you outside the hall." ”

When the third elder heard this, he hurriedly wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and said in a calm tone, "Let them in." ”

The guard turned to leave, and soon entered the hall with a young man and a woman.

This pair of young men and women is Xiao Chen and Xiao Ling'er.

After the two entered the main hall, they came to stand in front of the three elders, smiling, and bowing very obediently.

"Chen'er meets the three elders!"

"Ling'er has seen the third grandfather!"

The three elders looked at them kindly, bowed slightly, and said in a relieved tone: "You two are finally back, fortunately you are safe and sound...... Have you found the Spotted Cloud Beast?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ling'er's face suddenly changed, and she subconsciously asked, "Third Grandpa, how do you know that we went to find the Spotted Cloud Beast?"

The third elder stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "The old man still doesn't understand your mind? Those little guys have all asked the old man to refine magic weapons, how can you sit still?"

Two days ago, the old man knew that you were out, so he asked the guards to inquire, and naturally he knew everything.

The Spotted Cloud Beast is a powerful demon beast with the strength of the Soul Refining Realm, you can come back safe and sound, isn't it that you haven't even found the Spotted Cloud Beast?"

Xiao Chen said with excitement and anticipation: "Third Elder, we have ......"

As soon as he was halfway through speaking, Xiao Ling'er glared at him.

Then, she nodded pretending to be disappointed, and said to the third elder, "Third Grandpa, let you guess correctly, the Spotted Cloud Beast is so powerful, how can we find it easily?"

Xiao Chen immediately swallowed back the second half of the sentence, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
