The streets of Utan City are wide and clean, and a main road runs through the entire Utan City, as if the center of the entire Utan City is directly split by a line.

In the bluestone paved streets, there is very little garbage on the ground, and there are people in the city who come to clean it up regularly every day.

The streets are densely packed with stalls selling groceries, jewelry, weapons, things, and cores, as well as furs or corners cut from monsters.

On the street, from time to time, you can see the scene of stall owners and customers arguing and yelling, or the scene of stall owners shouting loudly but no one cares, the Xiao family's motorcade marched in the middle of the street, and I saw the Qingli beside Ivan looking at the scene on both sides.

"Brother Ivan, is this Utan City, it's so lively!" retracted his head that poked out of the carriage, Qingli said with some excitement.

"It's a big and bustling city indeed. Ivan nodded in agreement, and then said to Qingli: "Qingli, Brother Ivan has something to leave for a while, leaving you alone in the Xiao family for a while, do you think you can?"

"It's okay, Brother Ivan, Qingli is no longer a child, you can do whatever you want, I will protect myself!" Qingli was stunned for a moment, and then patted her chest and promised, looking like she had grown up.

"Okay, it's good if you dare to take it yourself. Ivan patted Qingli's head and didn't say anything to hurt Qingli's self-confidence.

The tiger cub grows up, the eagle eventually flies, people always have to learn to grow by themselves, and he can't always protect Qingli for a lifetime.

After all, she came to this vindictive continent with her own things to do, and Qingli's life will also start again, whether it is sweet, bitter, or sour and spicy along the way, after all, she has to taste it herself, in order to understand whether life is wasted.

......

The convoy moved through the street for another half an hour, turning two corners and coming to an intersection with a tall and imposing complex of buildings on the opposite side, and the delicate decoration made it impossible to take your eyes off it.

Above the gate of the complex, the two words "Xiao Mansion" represent a prominent and ancient family power in Utan City, and it also means that they have finally arrived at their destination.

At this time, at the gate of the Xiao Mansion, three old men in white robes with old bodies were already waiting there with a large number of family children.

Xiao Qian, who was riding on a high horse, dismounted neatly in front of the gate, and the three white-robed old men immediately stepped forward respectfully, "Your Excellency, you are finally back." ”

"The three elders are so anxious to urge me back, is there a catastrophe of extermination or something terrible?" Xiao Qian asked in a deep voice.

"This, this ......" The three white-robed old men wanted to speak and stopped, so anxious that cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, I can't tell you that we are worried that the new force of the family will follow your main clan power in the process of training with you, and forget about my side clan power.

"Hmph, let's go home!" Xiao Qian saw through the plans of these three old things at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh lightly while being angry in his heart.

The Xiao family, the ancient family that inherited the ancient glory, I am afraid that it will never be able to go back.

"Master Xiao, I have something to tell you. Just as Xiao Qian was about to step into the door, Ivan's voice came from behind.

"Uk, what are you going to tell me?" Xiao Qian asked puzzled.

"That thanks to the Xiao family master's kindness to my brother and sister, the little sister Wulan can stay in the Xiao family first, but the little one still has a little thing to do, and after the completion of the work, he can return to the Xiao family and serve the Xiao family to repay the Xiao family master's kindness. Ivan whispered, a little embarrassed.

"Oh, what do you have to do?" Xiao Qian asked.

"That's right, although most of the small clansmen have sacrificed in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, there are still a small number of old and weak clansmen who stay in the ancestral land of the family, and the small ones have to go back to deal with and arrange them. Ivan replied.

"I see, then you go, I will take good care of your sister. Xiao Qian smiled and nodded.

"Then thank you to the Xiao family master. Ivan bowed, then turned away.

After Ivan's figure disappeared from everyone's eyes, a great elder stationed in the three white-robed Xiao family elders finally couldn't help but speak: "Family master, how can you take two people into the Xiao family, and their identity is neither a servant nor a master, how can you let me and other clansmen get along with those two people." ”

"How do you get along? My Xiao family is not a secluded and closed old-fashioned family, how can I see that I can't even speak? As for the identity, isn't it okay to treat the Xiao family as a guest?" Xiao Qian waved his hand, and then turned around and stepped into the gate of the Xiao Mansion.

The three white-robed Xiao family elders glanced at each other, and then sighed in unison, they were really helpless against this family master whose strength was far above them, who had more control over the family than them, and who had a strong and domineering personality.

......

The western mountain range on the outskirts of Utan City.

Large, cascading mountains, the bare granite on them are white or yellow, brown or yellow under the sunlight, and there is a natural beauty carved by nature.

The dense and exuberant woodland between the mountains is very untouched, and the occasional sound of birds and insects chirps or two adds a unique vitality to this quiet environment.

In an extremely secret cave in the mountains, because of the obscuration of several rocks and green vegetation outside the cave, the cave is seriously underlit.

In such a dim environment, I couldn't see my fingers even when I stretched out my hand, and at this moment, a sound of footsteps walked in from outside the cave, and a candlelight lit up directly in the dim cave.

"You should be able to hide here, right?" said Ivan, who himself was a little skeptical.

I saw that the air circulating in this cave was stuffy and smelly, and every few steps I could step on some white bones, some beasts and some humans. This must have been a place where large beasts resembled wild bears, Ivan guessed.

"Although the environment is terrible, there should be no place outside Utan City that is more secluded than this cave, and it is more suitable for me to hide. Finding a barely clean space in the cave and sitting down, Ivan said as he looked at it.

"After wasting so much time, I finally have time to tidy myself up. "Since he came out of the Deathmatch Secret Realm, he has faced a crazy transfer, being exiled from the surface world of the God Continent to the underground world, and he has not rested for a few days, and he has come to this Douqi Continent again.

On such a long route, he didn't have much time to close up and sort out what he had learned, obviously he had already prepared the conditions for promotion to a first-order mage, but he was still a high-level mage apprentice. (To be continued.) )
