Chapter 144: The Xiao Family's Compromise
Xu Anping smiled and didn't take Xiao Xueli's expression to heart.
He knew that if he had been friendly and kind, the other party would not necessarily borrow the cheats.
On the contrary, let the other party know that he is by no means a good person who is reasonable, and the other party may be afraid of his own strength and agree to let him borrow it.
There is no way, after all, this world is a world where the strong are respected, if he has no strength, but he stubbornly talks about principles and reason, the other party may not be so jealous of him.
To put it bluntly, it is to bully the soft and fear the hard.
As long as he has a tough attitude and strong strength as support, no one dares to underestimate his request.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while.
Xiao Xueli ordered someone to arrange a good guest room for Xu Anping to rest, and he discussed with several elders in the clan about borrowing secret books.
As he said before, the Blood Exchange Secret Book is one of the most important treasures of the Xiao family, and even he, the head of the family, has no right to give it to the clansmen at will, let alone an outsider.
Therefore, consulting with the elders of the clan is not all prevarication.
in the council chamber.
Xiao Xueli said Xu Anping's request, and relayed Xu Anping's warning words to several elders.
This made several people immediately angry.
"How can this be true? came to the door for no reason to ask for blood exchange exercises, and dared to be so arrogant, did Xu Anping really think that he was invincible in the world? ”
"He doesn't know us, and he has nothing to do with us, so why bother with his pleas."
"In my opinion, just refuse directly, does he dare to grab it directly?"
"Come to the door to ask for the treasure of my Xiao family, and dare to be so arrogant, what is it when I am the Xiao family? How unreasonable! ”
"Why don't you do it, don't stop it, we will join forces to kill him tonight, pretend to agree first, and then hold a dinner party to entertain him in the evening, and then soften the muscles in his meal, and wait for the effect of the medicine to take effect, we will shoot together with Elder Taishang and join forces to besiege and kill, I don't believe it, Xu Anping can still resist it."
Xiao Xueli shook his head:
"Soft tendons don't have much effect on the strong, even we can resist, let alone Xu Anping, unless a big bag is sprinkled on each dish, but that will definitely expose the filling."
"Moreover, Xu Anping looks more cautious, when he was in the living room before, he didn't move at all the pastries and fruits served by the maid, he was very vigilant, and he probably didn't have a chance to take the medicine."
"If we do it head-on, even if we can defeat him, we will definitely lose a lot."
An elder frowned: "Even so, I can't directly agree to his request, otherwise how can my Xiao family have face?" ”
"We are one of the three thousand-year-old families in Qingyang Prefecture, in terms of heritage, strength, and connections, they all belong to the top, although Xu Anping is known as the strongest person in Qingyang Prefecture, but after all, there is only one person, and we must not give in in front of him!"
Seeing that several elders refused indignantly, Xiao Xueli couldn't help frowning.
He also found it very difficult to do so.
Although there is no loss for the Xiao family to borrow the exercises, the blood exchange exercises are equivalent to the treasure of the Zhen clan after all, because the other party obediently took it out and lent it to the other party in a few words, which would make it seem that the Xiao family was too cowardly and too aggrieved.
If it spreads, it will hit the reputation of the Xiao family too hard, and everyone will think that the Xiao family is afraid of Xu Anping.
As for the conditions Xu Anping said, none of them took it to heart.
After all, no matter how strong Xu Anping is, his background is far inferior to their Xiao family, what conditions can they come up with to make them excited?
Unless Xu Anping agreed to become the worship of the Xiao family, they also knew that it was impossible.
After pondering for a long time, Xiao Xueli said:
"Since everyone disagrees, then this matter will be put aside for the time being, and I will report to the Great Elder to see what the Great Elder thinks."
The Great Elder in his mouth was the only Blood Exchange Realm Grandmaster powerhouse on Xiao Jiaming's face, and he was also the Xiao Family's Supreme Elder Xiao Shankun.
Although Xiao Shankun doesn't ask about the world on weekdays, after all, this matter involves a top blood-exchange realm powerhouse like Xu Anping, in case of a conflict, Xiao Shankun will be the main force of the confrontation, so he naturally needs to report it first.
After the meeting ended, Xiao Xueli came to Xiao Shankun's retreat and briefly described the purpose of Xu Anping's visit.
"Xu Anping......"
Xiao Shankun was silent.
He had heard this name several times in the past year or so, especially when Xu Anping killed Duan Xinghe, he was even more shocked.
In addition, after learning about some of Xu Anping's other deeds, he also acquiesced to everyone's statement - Xu Anping has become the strongest person in Qingyang Prefecture in the new generation.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Shankun said:
"I think it's better not to have an evil relationship with Xu Anping if it is not necessary."
"His strength should not be underestimated, after more than a year of cultivation, there must be a lot of improvement, coupled with his statement, presumably his strength has really reached the limit of the blood exchange realm."
"With this kind of strength, not only I can't resist, but all of our entire family members may not be able to resist if they join forces."
Xiao Xueli's face was full of surprise:
"Great Elder, do you mean that we obediently lend him the Blood Exchange Technique?"
Xiao Shankun shook his head and said indifferently: "You can discuss these things yourself, my suggestion is...... Do not make enemies with him. ”
Xiao Xueli couldn't help but be stunned.
He knew what an arrogant person Elder Taishang was, even if he was quite unconvinced by Duan Xinghe, who was once the strongest man in Qingyang Prefecture, but now facing Xu Anping, he had the idea of retreating before he met.
Although Xiao Shankun did not make it clear that he would obediently agree to Xu Anping's request, reminding him not to have a bad relationship with Xu Anping doesn't mean that he should cooperate obediently?
"Okay, you go down, I still have to retreat and cultivate, don't bother me if you have nothing to do."
Xiao Shankun waved his hand, closed his eyes and sat cross-legged quietly.
Seeing this, Xiao Xueli had no choice but to stand up and bow down: "Xueli retires!" ”
Subsequently, he told Xiao Shankun's attitude to the other elders, and in the end, several people decided to obediently hand over the blood exchange exercise.
After all, even the strongest people in the family are reluctant to come forward, and if they refuse, after angering Xu Anping, they will definitely have no good fruit to eat.
In the evening of the same day, Xiao Xueli invited Xu Anping to a dinner, but Xu Anping refused on the grounds of cultivation, so he had no choice but to give up.
The next day.
Xiao Xueli took out the blood exchange technique from a certain dark compartment and handed it to Xu Anping with a smile on his face.
"Thank you, Master Xiao!"
Xu Anping solemnly took it and said, "In exchange, the conditions I promised yesterday, the head of the Xiao family, please put it forward." ”
Xiao Xueli waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about it, Elder Xu can remember the friendship of my Xiao family." ”
After discussing with several elders yesterday, everyone unanimously felt that it was decided to lend the exercise cheats anyway, so it was better to simply let Xu Anping owe a favor, and there was no need to mention any conditions.
After all, the Xiao family doesn't lack anything now, so it's better to send a favor, and when there is a need in the future, or Xu Anping's achievements are getting higher and higher, maybe they can use this favor to make greater benefits.
