Chapter 15: Xiao Yulong’s Temptation
It was only after Xiao Che and Xia Qing Yue had finished their breakfast that Xiao Lie returned in a hurry, unprecedented gravity written all over his face, as well as some shock that hadn’t completely dissipated.
“Grandpa, what happened?” Xiao Che hurriedly stood up and asked.
“A big event, something that can be said to be heavenly for the Xiao Sect.” Xiao Lie said, but his tightly locked brows then loosened, “However, it shouldn’t have much to do with us.”
“A heavenly matter? What is that matter?” Xiao Che was even more surprised.
“It is the Xiao Zong.”
“Xiao Zong?” This time, not only Xiao Che, even Xia Qingyue instantly looked sideways.
“Just two quarters of an hour ago, Sect Master suddenly received a letter from the Xiao Sect, which said that the Xiao Sect would soon have a group of people arriving here, and that the one leading the way was still the youngest son of the current Xiao Sect Sect’s Patriarch, Xiao Jietian!” Xiao Lie slowly said.
“……” This news caused Xiao Che to remain silent for a long while and said, “If this is true, it seems a bit unreasonable. Although our Xiao Sect came from the Xiao Zong lineage more than a hundred years ago, the Xiao Zong has never given a damn about our Xiao Sect, there has not been any interaction for more than a hundred years, and there will simply be no one in the Xiao Zong who will put this tiny Xiao Sect in their heart, so how could they suddenly send someone here? To say that there are plans …… Xiao Zong power to cover the sky, can plan what we? To say that a favor is being bestowed, it would be even more impossible.”
Xiao Lie shook his head and said, “Of course it is not without reason. Our Xiao Sect’s founding ancestor, Xiao Bie Li, was expelled by the Xiao Sect in disguise because his natural talent was really too poor, and his father was Xiao Zheng, the elder of the Xiao Sect’s Law Enforcement Hall at that time, and not too long ago, Xiao Zheng passed away, and when a person is about to die, the things that are on his mind will no longer be the pursuit of a lifetime of merit and fame and fortune, and he remembered that there was still such a son as Xiao Bie Li, and after not having seen him for more than a hundred years, he felt guilty in his heart and so, he left behind his last words, and hoped that the Xiao Sect could find Xiao Bie Li after After his death, he hoped that Xiao Zong could find the descendants of Xiao Bie Li’s lineage, and choose one of the young generation with the best talent to bring back to Xiao Zong for cultivation, which can also be considered as a way to make up for the indifference and expulsion of Xiao Bie Li back then.”
The lifespan of a normal person is only a hundred years, but when Xuan Power reaches a certain realm, living for a few hundred years is not a problem at all. It was said that after breaking through the King Xuan Realm, one’s lifespan could be as long as a thousand years. Hearing Xiao Lie’s words, Xiao Che first pondered and then released, no wonder Xiao Zong would suddenly take the initiative to come to the door, so there was a reason like this. It seemed that the dead Xiao Zheng still had some status in Xiao Zong, at least Xiao Zong had honored his last words. He also understood why Xiao Lie had said that it had nothing to do with them. “Select a person with the best natural talent to return to Xiao Zong to cultivate”…… How this person with the best natural talent did not have half a cent to do with him, Xiao Che.
However, one could imagine how surging the thoughts in the hearts of the other Elders were after they received this news. Being brought back to Xiao Sect for cultivation? What kind of concept was that? If any of their son’s generation or grandson’s generation were to be favored and brought back to the Xiao Sect, then it would be a complete overnight transformation from earthworms in the mud to golden dragons in the clouds! The direct lineage that belongs to them will also follow the sky, not to mention in the Xiao Sect, in the entire Liuyun City, can walk horizontally without fear, who dares to be disobedient, move out the word “Xiao Sect”, even if the City Lord would not dare to put even half a fart.
Xiao Lie’s face looked very calm, but the loss that he tried to hide still could not escape Xiao Che’s eyes. Within the Xiao Sect, there wasn’t a single person who didn’t hold a yearning for the Xiao Sect, even the person he was before today was the same. And this time, when the Xiao Sect came, it was undoubtedly one of the closest times since the Xiao Sect’s existence, because at least one could truly come into positive contact with the people of the Xiao Sect. All the other people in the Xiao Sect would more or less hold that slightest bit of extravagant hope, but Xiao Lie was the only one who didn’t even dare to have extravagant hope. Because the person that Xiao Zong would look at, no matter how, it would not be Xiao Che’s turn.
Xiao Che opened his mouth, wanting to say some words to comfort his grandfather, but after brewing for half a day, he was unable to utter a single word. His Xuan Pulse state was clearly placed there, so even if he said something more magnificent and melodious, what use would it be?
“Although this shouldn’t have anything to do with us, but this is good, although the Xiao Sect is as big as the heavens, but even if we go there, we can only be at the bottom of the list, how can we compare to being at ease and at peace in this Liuyun City.” Xiao Lie smiled sagely and sat down at the table, “Come, accompany grandpa to finish his breakfast.” …………………………
Coming out from Xiao Lie’s courtyard, Xiao Che instantly felt that the atmosphere of the entire Xiao Sect had changed significantly. Normally at this time, there were already quite a few people practicing in the morning, but at this time, when one looked around, there were only a few sparse silhouettes, and most of them had hurried footsteps with excitement on their faces.
“It seems that everyone wants to be able to climb onto this high branch of Xiao Zong, but one step to heaven, is it really good? You don’t think that even if you really go to the Xiao Sect, you’re probably just a lowly minion.” Xiao Che said in a salty manner.
“Jealous?” Xia Qingyue said expressionlessly.
“Absolutely not!” Just finished speaking, Xiao Che then reacted to the fact that the Xia Qingyue by his side was half of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace disciples who did not lose to Xiao Zong, as long as he skimmed his mouth and said, “You are not the same …… Forget it, when I didn’t say it.”
Xia Qing Yue no longer ignored him, her footsteps took a step, clearly a very slow step, but the whole person had already surpassed Xiao Che by seven or eight body lengths, and with another step, she threw Xiao Che away even farther. Xiao Che’s footsteps stopped, full of astonishment as he looked at Xia Qing Yue, whose gait was elegant and like a phantom, and whispered, ”Could it be that this is the legendary Ice Cloud Immortal Palace’s ‘Ice Splash Snow Dance Steps’? This woman’s Xuan power is really more than just the Beginning Xuan Realm.”
“Phew! Isn’t this Old Brother Xiao Che!”
A voice came from the right and Xiao Che turned his head to see Xiao Yang walking towards him. This Xiao Yang usually had his nostrils turned up in front of him and did not give a damn about him at all, taking the initiative to greet him was still an unprecedented first.
“Brother Xiao Yang, so early.” Xiao Che turned around and greeted with a kind face.
“What a coincidence, I was just about to go look for you, but I didn’t expect to bump into you here.” Xiao Yang walked over and said smilingly.
“Brother Xiao Yang has something to look for me?” Xiao Che had a surprised look on his face.
“Aang,” Xiao Yang nodded, “Actually, it was big brother Yulong who asked me to come and shout at you, he said that you are the youngest amongst us, but are the first to get married, so as a brother from the same sect, how can I also give you a small celebration. Plus yesterday’s wedding banquet too many people, drink is not enough to enjoy, just take advantage of this morning to drink a small wine, eat a breakfast, how? Do you have time?”
Inviting a drink early in the morning, it seems that this Xiao Yulong’s patience is also very average. Xiao Che laughed coldly in his heart, what Xiao Yulong was looking for him for, he knew exactly in his heart, at that moment, a flattered expression appeared on his face as he excitedly said, “It’s really Brother Yulong shouting at me? There is! Of course there is time! Since it’s Brother Yulong shouting at me, how could there not be time! Then …… go now?”
Xiao Che’s expression caused Xiao Yang to secretly sneer plus despise him as he nodded his head and said, “Of course, let’s go.”
Xiao Yulong’s courtyard was at least four or five times larger than Xiao Che’s, and was lavishly decorated with specialized servants.
There was a square pavilion in the center of the courtyard to the north, and the round table in the pavilion was already set up with drinks and meals. Xiao Yulong lifted his wine cup and smiled warmly, ”Xiao Che younger brother, you have married our Liuyun City’s number one pearl, so once again, I congratulate you. It seems that I, who am your elder brother, will have to work hard as well.”
“Thank you Brother Yulong.” Xiao Che also hurriedly lifted his wine cup, his face reddening with excitement, “Actually …… actually speaking, this small matter of me getting married is not worth mentioning, and the one who should really be congratulating me is me to Brother Yulong.”
“Oh?” Xiao Yulong was puzzled and smiled, “Congratulate me? This is something I can’t understand.”
Xiao Che said with a straight face, “Could it be that Brother Yulong doesn’t know that the Xiao Sect will soon be coming to have someone, and then selecting the person with the best natural talent amongst the younger generation to bring back to the Xiao Sect? In our Xiao Sect’s younger generation, in terms of talent, status, looks and behavior, who can compare to Brother Yulong? So this time, the person who is brought back to the Xiao Sect is definitely Brother Yulong, and this is a heavenly joy.”
“Right! That’s right, the one who will be chosen by Xiao Sect this time will definitely be Big Brother! With big brother around, no one else can even think about it.” Xiao Yang also said in a hurry. His qualifications in the Xiao Sect were only medium to high, for this matter of Xiao Zong, knowing that he had a few pounds he didn’t dare to have any ideas, the most likely among the Xiao Sect was Xiao Yulong undoubtedly. He had been following Xiao Yulong all these years, if Xiao Yulong could enter the Xiao Sect, it would be beneficial to him, he even started to be glad that he had been flattering Xiao Yulong all these years, it was simply the right choice.
Xiao Yulong, however, shook his head and said with a modest expression, ”You guys are too flattering to me, there are so many outstanding brothers and sisters in our Xiao Sect. In terms of Xuan strength, I am lucky to be considered number one, but in terms of qualifications, I wouldn’t dare to say, but I will strive for it. Come, Xiao Che junior, let’s drink to your joy yesterday.”
Although the words were very casual, but deep within Xiao Yulong’s eyes, there was a fiery madness hidden deeper than anyone else.
After a cup of wine was consumed, Xiao Che’s face became flushed. Xiao Yang brought his face over at this time and said with a smile on his face, ”Xiao Che’s younger brother, what you married yesterday was the number one beauty of our Liuyun City, this bliss is really envious of us brothers. Yesterday’s cave taste …… hehehe, it must have been quite refreshing, right?”
Xiao Yulong lifted his wine glass with a smile on his face, but his gaze was dead set on Xiao Che and his face and eyes, ready to see an awkward expression on his face. However, right at the moment when Xiao Yang finished his question, Xiao Che was glowing with both eyes, and his face revealed a lewd smile that men understand, his head went over to Xiao Yang’s side, and he lowered his voice and hehehehehehehehe laughed, “That’s! Hey hey hey hey …… Xiao Yang brother, I tell you, this woman well, really are a virtue, Xia Qingyue usually look like a proud peacock, but a bed, completely is a slut ah, that scream, that taste, not only is cool! Hehehehehehehehe ……”
As Xiao Che spoke, his eyes narrowed, his face flushed, and he had an intoxicated expression on his face.
Bing ……
The wine cup in Xiao Yulong’s hand was directly crushed, and the crumbs fell all over the table.
