Chapter 63: The Situation is Clear
The family reunion, as the name suggests, is actually a gathering of various families of all sizes in Tongming City, at the beginning, the Li family was in the consideration of the art of balance, and took the lead in initiating the party, aiming to reconcile the contradictions of the various families, and then gradually settled, once a year, held in turn between the big families. This year's family reunion was held by the Jiang family.
Xia Xue originally planned to go with Xia Changlong, although she hated Xia Changlong very much, but Xia Changlong was the great elder of the Xia family after all, and it was not possible to do without him on such an occasion, at least on the bright side, Xia Xue also wanted to pretend to be a false scene of "peace in the Xia family". But after today's incident, Xia Xue was completely disappointed in Xia Changlong, although Xia Changlong would still go to the banquet, Xia Xue couldn't stop him, but Xia Xue didn't want to go with him, Xia Xue wanted to find another person to accompany her. Elder Xia Changqing was absent these days, and after thinking about it, Xia Xue thought of Xia Yu.
"That's it. Xia Yu hesitated, he hated such a banquet. A group of people got together and pretended to laugh, obviously fighting to the death on weekdays, but they still had to pretend to have a good relationship. The patriarchs of each family have their own ghosts, and the staggered bargaining is a trade of blood and interests. Such a banquet made Xia Yu feel hypocritical and made him feel disgusting.
However, although it is very annoying, since Xia Yu has promised Xia Xue, the husband has made a word, and the horse is difficult to chase, Xia Yu can only bite the bullet, anyway, it will be regarded as a free buffet.
"Okay, I'll go with you. β
Seeing that Xia Yu agreed, Xia Xue couldn't help but smile happily, a pair of beautiful big eyes bent into a crescent moon, which looked very beautiful.
In fact, how could Xia Xue like to participate in this kind of hypocritical banquet? It's just that as a young master, she has to face those things she hates.
"Thank you, Xia Yu. Xia Xue smiled happily.
Xia Yu also smiled slightly: "What are you polite to me?"
After that, Xia Xue and Xia Yu chatted for a while, and then left. Xia Yu was idle, so he entered the dueling arena in the anime system again to look for abuse, and this time the anime character he chose to fight was the male protagonist of the Grim Reaper, Ichigo Kurosaki, a handsome little guy with yellow hair. Xia Yu hasn't tried it since he got this blue-eyed ring knife, and this time he happened to practice the knife with Kurosaki Ichigo. However, the ideal is too plump, the reality is too skinny, and it turns out that Xia Yu is really stupid and naΓ―ve.
"Crescent Sky Rush!"
A sharp light flashed, and Xia Yu's body immediately flew into the sky uncontrollably, and there was a prompt sound from the system in his ears: The battle is over, Kurosaki Ichigo wins.
Xia Yu got up from the ground, looked at the front of him who stopped attacking, and stood motionless Kurosaki Ichigo, although he had lost several games in a row, Xia Yu's eyes were still full of surging battle intent, failure would not knock Xia Yu down, it would only make him stronger and stronger!
Xia Yu smiled slightly and shouted angrily: "Come again!"
At the same time, at the other end of Tongming City, among the Jiang family, Jiang Wuyang was furious. This mission of the Mountain Ape King, Jiang Wuyang has been preparing for a long time, and it was already a sure thing, but he didn't expect to kill Xia Yu halfway and solve the Mountain Ape King first. Jiang Wuyang naturally didn't believe that Xia Yu did this, and he decided that it must be the Xia family's ghost.
In fact, for the Jiang family, the remuneration of 100,000 silver dollars is not much, the Jiang family has a big business, and they don't care about the 100,000 silver dollars, what Jiang Wuyang really wants is actually the horn of the Mountain Ape King. The horn of the mountain ape king is a great tonic, and after being made into an elixir and taken, it is very beneficial to cultivation. Jiang Wuyang is now at the twenty-ninth layer of Yuan Li, and he is only forty and six this year, and he has great expectations for breaking through the thirtieth layer of Yuan Force and entering the Xiao Yuan Realm. But recently, he had encountered a bottleneck, no matter how he cultivated the Yuan Force, he no longer improved by half a point, which is why he was so eager to get the horn of the Mountain Ape King. But I never expected that the Xia family would secretly make the first move!
Jiang Wuyang thought that the horn of the mountain ape king must have also been taken away by the Xia family, so he gritted his teeth with hatred, and lost his temper after returning from the Li family.
Jiang Wuyang has a hot temper, no one dares to intervene when he is angry, even his own son Jiang Shaowu is quietly standing aside and listening to his father scolding his mother. When Jiang Wuyang scolded almost and his anger was almost gone, Jiang Shaowu dared to step forward and say: "Father, don't be angry, the Xia family is acting like this, we must not swallow this anger like this, the family gathering after five days will definitely make the Xia family ugly in front of the families in Tongming City!"
Jiang Wuyang sat on the chair, and at this time, his anger also disappeared, and he began to think about how to deal with the Xia family. Now in this Tongming City, among the four major families of Li Lu and Jiang Xia, the Xia family is the weakest, and the third is the Jiang family, and above are the Lu family and the Li family. Among them, the Li family is too powerful, and it is absolutely impossible to bring it down for a while. And the Lu family is the most mysterious, how strong the Lu family is, I'm afraid no one knows except the Li family, the Lu family has been hidden and unpredictable over the years. Jiang Wuyang never fights uncertain battles, so he will not make rash moves until he finds out the truth of the Lu family. Therefore, now if the Jiang family wants to seek development, there is only one way to take the Xia family.
And since the death of the patriarch of the Xia family, the Xia family has been worse every year, although it still looks strong on the surface, but in fact, it is already terminally ill. The discord between Xia Xue and Xia Changlong is already known to passers-by, and only Xia Xue can handle it among the younger generation of the Xia family, as for the summer wind that calls for wind and rain in the Xia family, in Jiang Wuyang's eyes, he is just a waste, such a person can actually gain power, which shows how weak the Xia family has become.
For Jiang Wuyang, now is a great opportunity to eradicate the Xia family!
A cold smile slowly appeared on Jiang Wuyang's rough face, and he looked at his son Jiang Shaowu, a cold light shot out of his wolf-like eyes.
"Shaowu, the matter of the family reunion will be fully entrusted to you, remember, this family reunion must make the Xia family unforgettable, and let the entire Tongming City know what the fate of going against our Jiang family is!"
"Father, don't worry, Shaowu will not let you down. β
Jiang Shaowu bowed and saluted, smiling proudly, under the bright candlelight, the conspiracy slowly grew and spread in the darkness in his heart.
On the second day, Ren Xiao, the president of the Dust Crystal Pavilion, who had been out of the house, finally returned. Ren Xiao is in his early fifties this year and is a well-known master of crystal refining. He was gifted and intelligent, and it is said that he became a crystal at the age of twelve, and was called a genius once in a century. Originally, he had a great future, and he could have been directly promoted to serve in the royal capital, but because of his participation in politics, he failed in the partisan struggle, and was finally demoted to Tongming City. Since then, Ren Xiao has learned from the pain, no longer asks about political affairs, only devoted himself to studying crystal alchemy, and later his alchemy has improved by leaps and bounds, and now the crystal refining array used by the Dust Crystal Pavilion in Tongming City was invented by him.
Sometimes, it's providential. Ren Xiao's alchemy technique became more and more powerful, and his reputation became bigger and bigger, and some people in the royal capital finally couldn't sit still, so they took the initiative to send someone to invite him back to the royal capital. But this time, in the face of the pinnacle of power that he had always longed for, Ren Xiao just smiled indifferently and refused. For the current Ren Xiao, he just wants to find a disciple to pass on his alchemy technique, and there is nothing else to ask for.
It can be regarded as an eye-opener, Ren Xiao found Cheng Yu's good seedling in the vast Tongming City. For Cheng Yu, Ren Xiao is very satisfied, talented, and studious, such a good disciple is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Ren Xiao is so happy that he is about to wake up from a dream. No, as soon as Ren Xiao returned to the Dust Crystal Pavilion, he immediately went to find his good disciple.
Cheng Yu, as a senior brother, has his own exclusive cultivation room, Ren Xiao came to his room, although he is a master, he still knocked on the door very politely, and shouted in a deep voice: "Cheng Yu." β
However, there is no answer in it.
Ren Xiao frowned slightly, with his strength, he naturally felt that Cheng Yu was indeed in the house, but why didn't he reply? Ren Xiao shouted again: "Cheng Yu?" But no one replied. Ren Xiao couldn't help but wonder in his heart, Cheng Yu had always been polite, it was impossible for him to do such a rude thing, what was he doing in it?
So, Ren Xiao quietly pushed open the door and walked in without a sound. I saw Cheng Yu sitting in front of the table, with his head down, with a dull expression, not knowing what he was looking at.
