The return to the sect is not unique to the Xiao family.

The four major families in the capital, and even many first-tier and second-tier families, have such family rules.

Coming to sit down slowly opposite Xiao Zhenguo, the corners of Xiao Dongchen's mouth lifted a little arc, and said with a light smile: "Grandpa, the ceremony of returning to the sect, the preparation is almost complete." ”

"It's just a ceremony, there's nothing to prepare, as long as people arrive. ”

Xiao Zhenguo pretended to smile lightly.

Xiao Dongchen couldn't help but wonder, although Xiao Zhenguo said so, but the tension that swept through the depths of his pupils couldn't hide from him, obviously, for this return ceremony, although Xiao Zhenguo said it lightly, there was still tension in his heart,

Come to think of it, after all, the Xiao family is his own clan, he was expelled when he was young, and now that he is old, he can be regarded as returning to his roots.

"It's just that this family costume is a little tight, and it's not very comfortable to wear it on the body. ”

As if knowing that his thoughts were seen through by Xiao Dongchen, Xiao Zhenguo moved his neck and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"This homecoming ceremony, I have only seen it held for others before, but I didn't expect it to happen to me today. ”

He opened his mouth like this, with some embarrassment between his eyebrows.

In the past, although the Xiao family had also held several homecoming ceremonies, the owners of those ceremonies were almost all strong and strong people in their prime, who relied on themselves to become warriors and return to the Xiao family.

Like him, who relied on his grandson to return to the Xiao family at such an age, even if you look at the entire history of the Xiao family, he is the first.

"Xiaochen, this time, grandpa really wants to thank you. ”

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Zhenguo suddenly straightened his waist and said solemnly.

Xiao Dongchen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Xiao Zhenguo to say such a sentence.

"It's nothing, it's all family, there's no need to worry about it. ”

Xiao Dongchen waved his hand, a smile appeared on his face.

For Xiao Zhenguo, he has always maintained enough respect, and the entire Xiao family, except for Tang Luoxin, Xiao Dongchen has the most affection for this old man.

"Alas. ”

At this time, Xiao Zhenguo suddenly sighed, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Xiao Dongchen's gaze, and suddenly a little sadness appeared.

"Sure enough, it's Haoran's son, it's like it's printed out of a mold. ”

Frowning, Xiao Dongchen looked at Xiao Zhenguo suspiciously, not understanding what he meant by this.

"Xiaochen, since you have now become a martial artist, there are some things that I won't hide from you. ”

Exhaled a breath of turbidity, and Xiao Zhenguo's eyes flashed with reminiscence.

"You must be feeling strange about your father's inexplicable disappearance. ”

The old eyes stared at Xiao Dongchen, and Xiao Zhenguo said slowly.

Xiao Haoran!

There was a light flickering in Xiao Dongchen's eyes, for Xiao Haoran's disappearance, because there was not much description in the original memory of this body.

He only knew that Xiao Haoran was going abroad, and then he disappeared from the world, even if he found a foreign detective to find it, he couldn't find anything.

At that time, he also had some questions about this matter, but as time went by, he slowly forgot about it, and now when Xiao Zhenguo said this, he immediately remembered it.

"Didn't he mysteriously disappear abroad?

Xiao Dongchen frowned, he could only get some from his memory about what happened back then.

Some of the deeper information, he didn't know.

"It's true that he disappeared abroad. ”

Xiao Zhenguo nodded: "However, there is a reason for this disappearance." ”

"Why?

Xiao Dongchen's expression moved slightly, among them, he was really a little tired.

If you are alone, you are just missing, how can you not even have the slightest clue?

"Actually, your father was also a martial artist himself, or rather...... Cultivators. ”

As soon as Xiao Zhenguo spoke, the words he said made Xiao Dongchen's pupils shrink suddenly.

Cultivator!

Since I came to this world, almost all the people around me have heard martial artists, and as for the word cultivator, this is the first time I have heard of it.

Of course, although it was the first time he had heard of it, he was not unfamiliar with the name cultivator.

In his previous life, he was born in the realm of cultivation and was a cultivator himself.

Originally, he thought that he might be the only cultivator in this world, but now it seems that this idea may need some change.

"Ever since I came to this world, I've been thinking about how to return to the cultivation realm, but because the aura concentration in this world is too low, I haven't been able to think of any good way. ”

Xiao Dongchen whispered secretly in his heart, but in his eyes, there was a light that emerged: "If there are really cultivators in this world, then there must be a certain connection between them and the cultivation realm, if I want to return to the cultivation realm, maybe, I can start from these so-called cultivators." ”

Xiao Zhenguo didn't notice the change in Xiao Dongchen's expression, and continued to speak, telling some of the past events of the year: "Your father, when he was a child, didn't like trivial things in the world, and always liked to travel around the world and play in the mountains and rivers. ”

"Back then, because he was still very young, I didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that he was just playing too hard. ”

"But one day, when your father came back, he suddenly told me that he had become a cultivator. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Zhenguo suddenly paused, sighed, and shook his head slightly.

"Cultivator, what is this?"

Although he knew the meaning of this concept, Xiao Dongchen still opened his mouth like this, and there was a deliberate doubt on his face, and he looked at Xiao Zhenguo at this moment and asked.

Because, through Xiao Zhenguo's words, he thought of a lot.

For example, where does the concept of a cultivator come from?

Xiao Zhenguo is an ordinary person, not even a martial artist, how can he know?

And Xiao Haoran, how did he become a cultivator?

Is it simply to receive the lineage, or is it to be taught by a true cultivator himself?

The most important thing is whether the cultivators in Xiao Zhenguo's mouth and the cultivators he knows mean the same thing?

Xiao Zhenguo's face did not move, showing that he was not surprised by Xiao Dongchen's question.

"I don't know much about the specific information about cultivators, but I know that the strength of cultivators is much stronger than that of martial artists. ”

"Back then, your father was not yet thirty years old, and he was already able to defeat the martial artists of the peak realm of the inner family, according to him, it was because he had been a cultivator for too short a time, if he was given more time to practice, let alone the peak of the inner family, even if he was a master of the transformation realm, he could defeat him. ”

Xiao Zhenguo opened his mouth like this, although his tone was calm, but between his eyebrows, there was a smug look revealed.
