Chapter 8: Jia Nan Academy and Misty Cloud Sect

Ignoring the old faces of several people smiling like wrinkled raisins, Xiao Ming quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Patriarch, three elders!".

"Don't be too polite, sit down, and let's chat". Xiao Zhan was about to reply when eldest Elder stepped in front of him and said hurriedly.

This old fox!

When his own words were snatched away, Xiao Zhan felt somewhat annoyed inside, he knew what these elders had in mind, they just wanted to win over the genius Xiao Ming.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m

For the Xiao family, a family that could only hide in Wutan City, a genius of Xiao Ming's caliber has no small voice within the family.

Moreover, Xiao Ming had no rival, so it was normal for all the Xiao family members to fawn over at Xiao Ming.

Looking at Xiao Ming, who had already taken a seat and was behaving in a mature and stable manner, Xiao Zhan somehow thought of his own son Xiao Yan.

Since Xiao Ming had appeared out of nowhere, he had lost his usual carefree appearance and instead had been working hard to cultivate, probably suffering a lot in the process.

After Xiao Ming sat down, he first exchanged pleasantries with the elders, but there was a bit of a generation gap as there was a big age difference between them, and after some awkward conversations, Xiao Ming raised his questions.

"Patriarch and elders, what is the reason for calling Xiao Ming here?"

Xiao Zhan was awakened from his contemplation by Xiao Ming's question.

"Nothing really, we just wanted to ask you about your future plans."

"Future plans?"

"Yes, before that, can you tell us about your current cultivation level?"

Xiao Ming was a bit puzzled, "What does future planning have to do with the current cultivation level?"

"Actually, it doesn't have much to do with it, I'm just a little curious." Xiao Zhan awkwardly touched his nose.

Other elders also cast curious glances.

After Xiao Ming demonstrated his Dou Practitioner strength, he stopped going to the Magic Stone Monument test because every time he took the test, a group of small children would surround him, chattering and bothering him nonstop.

Because of the closeness of his clanmates, Xiao Ming could not resent and scold them, so he simply did not go to the Dou Qi test later, and the others did not say anything, after all, geniuses always have privileges, don't they?

In fact, there was one thing that Xiao Zhan had not said yet, and that was, if Xiao Ming managed to become a disciple of the Misty Cloud Sect Leader, it would also be beneficial to the Xiao family.

'Nonsense, of course, I know that the resources enjoyed in a sect would be better than joining Jia Nan Academy, but Misty Cloud Sect has the Protector of Hall of Souls!'

Xiao Ming rolled his eyes, he was aware that the old patriarch of Misty Cloud Sect, Yun Shan would have collusion with the Soul Temple, with his status as a member of the Xiao family wouldn't he be a sheep in the wolf's den? If his surname wasn't Xiao he would have agreed!

Of course, the matter that the Misty Cloud Sect would have a Soul Temple Protector could not be counted, at least not now, so Xiao Ming could only explain it this way.

"Jia Nan Academy has a strong faculty, and I don't think being a student would be worse than being a disciple in Misty Cloud Sect. Besides, with my talent, maybe one of the powerful Dou Emperors will take me as a disciple."

At the end of his sentence, Xiao Ming made a rare joke.

"That..., forget it, it's up to you!"

Xiao Zhan and some elders looked at each other and sighed.

If he wasn't willing to go, he wasn't going to be bound either, and what Xiao Ming said wasn't far-fetched, someone might take him as a disciple.

"It's good for you to go to Jia Nan Academy, you save the effort of the second elder escorting you, but when you go out, it must be very uncomfortable without money on you, here, this is 30,000 gold coins to support you."

Xiao Zhan took out a black card from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ming.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming hesitated for a moment and turned to the other three elders, 30,000 gold coins may not seem like a lot, but it was already enough for the Xiao family, was it really appropriate for Xiao Zhan to give it to them like this?

Seeing Xiao Ming's inquisitive look, the eldest elder stroked a handful of his white beard and said with a smile, "Take it, don't worry, it's something we've discussed with the other clan members."

The implication was that the 30,000 gold coins were given by the clan, not Xiao Zhan.

Only when he heard this did Xiao Ming step forward to take the card.

"Many thanks to the patriarch and the three elders."

"There's no need to rush to say thank you, there's still something left to take."

"Yes, this is..."
