Chapter 96 Gathering in the Xiao Family, Night Banquet
"Xiao Ming?" The girl was obviously a little surprised when she heard the name.
"It turns out that he came back from Canaan College. No wonder the Xiao family is so lively today."
As a person who was sent by the ancients to the Xiao family to steal the ancient emperor jade of Tuoshe, Gu Xun'er knew the development of the Xiao family well over the years.
Over the years, she has searched almost all the hidden corners and important locations of the Xiao family.
Except for Tuoshe Gudiyu who has never been found, she knows all the treasures in the Xiao family, and she can easily detect any extra things.
Even the Xiao family's most tightly guarded kung fu pavilion has slipped into her do not know how many times, and she knows the extra kung fu fighting skills even better than the ordinary people of the Xiao family.
Those things were given to the Xiao family by Xiao Ming. Now that Xiao Ming is back, in order to show the importance attached to him, the Xiao family will of course hold a good reception banquet to make it lively.
"A year ago, the Xiao family claimed that they had broken through to the level of Douwang, Elder Ling, is this true?"
No wonder Gu Xun'er was suspicious, such a young Dou Wang is really incredible, especially in a small place like the Overweight Empire, the probability of a genius of this level appearing is too low.
Gu Xun'er is okay, at least she has a lot of vision, she still believes in this matter, and now she is just asking to make sure.
Some people in the overweight empire, when they heard about the teenage Dou Wang, only regarded the news as a rumor, because it was beyond their cognition and it was too difficult to accept.
Faced with the question from his young lady, Ling Ying replied respectfully:
"His aura was not deliberately hidden, it is indeed a Dou King level, but it is difficult to detect the specific level. I feel at least a five-star Dou Wang, and it may be because of the alchemist, his soul perception is very powerful, if not mine. The Dou Qi attribute is suitable for hiding, and he may have discovered it."
Speaking of the back, there was a hint of admiration in Ling Ying's voice, whether it was because he admired his superb concealment skills or Xiao Ming's keen perception.
Gu Xun'er was slightly surprised when she heard the words, "I didn't expect this to be true. There are not many Douwangs so young, even in the genius-like Central Continent."
"Well, I didn't expect a golden phoenix to fly out of the grass nest of the Overweight Empire. The Xiao family that has been in decline for thousands of years may have to rise again because of this."
Compared to Gu Xun'er who stayed at Xiao's house most of the time, Ling Ying, who was already an old man, actually knew Zhongzhou better.
He had traveled to Central Continent when he was young, and knew that Xiao Ming's current talent is also the top in Central Continent. He is still very optimistic about the future of Xiao Ming and the Xiao family. As long as Xiao Ming does not fall, although it is impossible to lead the Xiao family back to the Xiao family Peak, but there is no problem in occupying a place in the Northwest Continent.
Before the two could continue talking, a voice sounded from the door.
"Miss Xun'er, are you there?" A girl dressed as a maid outside the door asked respectfully.
"Come in."
The maid pushed open the door and walked in, only to see a girl with an indifferent temperament like a lotus sitting alone on a chair, and there was no one around. Obviously, Ling Ying hid her figure again at this time.
The maid didn't show anything strange, because she couldn't hear the conversation between Gu Xun'er and Ling Ying before.
After bowing slowly, she first admired Miss Xun'er's beauty, and the maid said: "Master Xiao Ming returned to the family from Canaan College, and has been elected as the Supreme Elder of the family, in order to help Master Xiao Ming to wash away the dust and celebrate. For his appointment, the family will hold a banquet in the evening, and the patriarch specially ordered me to invite Miss Xun'er to the banquet."
"Elder Taishang, banquet?" To be honest, Gu Xun'er was not interested in these things, but thinking of one thing Xiao Ming did when she was a child, she nodded and said. "Understood, I will go, you retreat."
"Yes."
…
Night soon arrived with the expectation of many people. Tonight's Xiao's house was brightly lit, and there were laughter and laughter everywhere.
In the past, the Xiao family gate, which should have been closed at this time, is now a crowded courtyard, and there are endless noises.
In the old days, people who were considered bigwigs in Ulthane City carried gifts one by one, scrambling to show a somewhat pleasing smile to the guard.
A fat middle-aged man with a sharp red sword shouted:
"Dali, a weapon company in Xia Dali, heard that the elders of the Xiao family had returned, and came to pay a special visit. This third-order magic core sword is a little bit of my heart, please accept it."
These words can't help but make some people outside who eat melons exclaim, the third-order magic core sword is not cheap, in Wutan City, it is a year's turnover of some small families, this Dali is really willing.
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, he was about to hand over the sword in his hand. The guard didn't say anything before he was pushed aside by an old man in yellow.
The old man in yellow was holding a crystal box in his hand. Inside the transparent crystal box, a palm-sized fiery red and crystal clear medicinal mushroom shone in the dark night.
"The medicinal material firm, Huang Zhong came to visit the Xiao family, and heard that the elders of the Supreme Being are of the fire attribute. This is a thousand-year-old fire ganoderma lucidum that has been treasured for many years. I hope not to dislike it."
"Millennium Fire Ganoderma lucidum!"
The name caused a burst of exclamations. This Fire Ganoderma lucidum was formed by absorbing a lot of fire attribute energy. It has the effect of increasing the realm and is a very precious medicinal material.
Although the Millennium Fire Ganoderma lucidum does not really refer to the medicinal materials that have grown for thousands of years, the Fire Ganoderma lucidum that Huang Zhong took out, you can see that it has a lot of years by looking at it, and you can see that it is very valuable. It is several times more expensive.
This Huang Zhong would probably have some plans for taking out this fire ganoderma. The melon-eating crowd glanced at a timid girl in yellow with a beautiful face next to Huang Zhong, and a flash of understanding flashed in their hearts.
“Yunyan Tea Tour…”
This lively atmosphere has continued, but the number of people at the door has not decreased, because the Xiao family guards did not let people into the Xiao family, nor did they receive gifts.
It wasn't until a man in the clothes of the Xiao family walked out of the gate and nodded to them that the guards began to accept the gifts and let them go.
For a while, the crowd rushed into the gate of the Xiao family, probably because they were afraid of the strength of the Xiao family. Although the crowd walked quite quickly, there was a sense of uniformity between them.
"Ya Fei from the Mittel auction house, Master Gu Ni, came to visit the Xiao family."
A charming and charming voice sounded, freezing the pace of many people, and many people turned to look at the figure who made the sound.
Tonight's Ya Fei is still the same red as always, but changed from a cheongsam to a luxurious long skirt. The plump and exquisite figure wrapped in the red dress is looming and extremely provocative.
Concubine Ya's face with a sly smile and a light makeup look made her perfectly beautiful face even more stunning. Obviously, she spent a lot of thought for tonight.
Beside him, Master Gu Ni changed into the robes of the overweight imperial alchemist, with the alchemist badge hanging on his chest, and the arrogance that usually hung on his face all the time had long since disappeared.
Ya Fei was already used to this kind of gaze, ignoring the fiery gazes from the surroundings, Ya Fei and Gu Ni handed the gifts in their hands to the Xiao family guard, and then stepped into the Xiao family gate.
After entering the Xiao family, the guards led the way, and everyone who entered the Xiao family came to a spacious hall. The hall was filled with banquets, and various drinks and food were placed on the table.
Many maids shuttled through it with plates.
As soon as Ya Fei and Master Gu Ni stepped into the arena, they found a lot of acquaintances.
"Huang Zhong, a big merchant of medicinal materials in Wutan City, monopolized Dali in the weapons industry in Wutan City... Hehe, it seems that Xiao Ming's return has brought great shock to these big figures in Wutan City in the past. "Looking at those people, Ya Fei covered her rosy mouth and said with a smile.
Master Gu Ni, who was next to him, glanced at the crowd, and nodded slightly: "Even the Jialie family, who did not deal with Xiao's family in the past, came here. Haha, it seems that they want to beg for mercy. I don't blame them for this. Douwang strong..."
Ya Fei and Gu Ni saw those people, and those people naturally saw them. Today's Ya Fei is so colorful, it's hard not to pay attention.
After seeing Ya Fei, many people quickly went to get in touch.
The Mittel Auction is now the second largest force in Wutan City after the Xiao family, and it is very necessary to maintain a good relationship.
Seeing them coming, Ya Fei put on a skilled smirk on her face and dealt with it.
Not long after I dealt with it, I heard noises from outside.
Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family, and a group of elders walked in.
Seeing Xiao Zhan and the others, these people who had just chatted with Ya Fei casually perfunctory, then turned around and squeezed next to Xiao Zhan and them.
scrambled to speak, and every time he spoke, the flattering color on his face was looming.
Gu Ni and Ya Fei, who stayed where they were, glanced at them in astonishment, then shook their heads. Master Gu Ni even whispered: "These people are too snobbish, no matter what, Xiao Zhan is also a big fighting master like them. Can the flattering smile on his face be restrained?"
If those who complied with Xiao Zhan heard these words, they would only shout and be speechless.
In all honesty, Xiao Zhan is a big fighting master like them. They didn't want to show such a flattering look, but let the Xiao family have a fighting king.
Xiao Ming didn't come out again, the fighting spirit powerhouse Xiao Shan wasn't here, and Xiao Zhan was the current patriarch of the Xiao family.
Not only Xiao Zhan, but also the Great Elder next to him and some other members of the Xiao family stepped forward to cling to him.
…
Xiao's backyard, in a secluded small courtyard, handed the just-refined pill to Zi Yan, who was eager to see.
smiled and glanced at Zi Yan, who took Danwan and shoved it into her mouth anxiously, then looked up at the night sky.
estimated that it was almost time and said, "It's almost time, it's time to go to the banquet."
After eating a pill, Zi Yan, who was smiling happily, could not help frowning when she heard this, and muttered, "I don't know what's so good about this banquet. It's better to look for medicinal herbs if you have time."
For that kind of scene, Zi Yan actually doesn't like it very much, because she will feel very boring in that situation, and it will be very noisy if there are too many people.
Attending that kind of banquet is a waste of time.
Zi Yan's thoughts, Xiao Ming understands very well.
In fact, he didn't like this kind of scene either, but people happily greeted him to celebrate, and as the protagonist he couldn't refuse.
After taking a look at Zi Yan, Xiao Ming asked, "Don't you want to go?"
"Hmm." Zi Yan nodded her little head, blinked her big watery eyes, and said, "Actually, as soon as I entered this city, I found that I sensed a lot of medicinal herbs. Why don't you let me Let's go find the medicine."
Wutan City is next to the Demonic Beast Mountains, so it's not surprising that Zi Yan can sense the medicinal herbs.
To tell the truth, Xiao Ming also sensed it. He glanced at Zi Yan, who was harmless to humans and animals, pondered for a moment, and then sighed:
"Okay, I'll let you out tonight. But you'll be back tomorrow, you know?"
With Zi Yan's current strength, in the plus-size empire, except for Yunshan, no one can keep her, so Xiao Ming is not afraid that something will happen to her after she goes out, just remind her to come back tomorrow.
"Mmmm." Seeing Xiao Ming's promise, Zi Yan's face was filled with joy. After she put the medicine bottle in her hand into the ring on her finger, a pair of wings were revealed behind her.
's wings vibrated violently, and the whole person flew into the air, followed by a voice: "Xiao Ming, I'll go first, I'll be back tomorrow."
Looking at Zi Yan who disappeared in an instant, Xiao Ming shook his head and said to the snow mountain next to him: "Come with me, I plan to let you sit in the Xiao family in the future, it is necessary for you to show your face."
Xuetian heard a hint of surprise on his face, but he disappeared quickly, and then muttered: "I see, master. I will protect your family in the future."
"Do your best. Tomorrow I will find a few exercises and fighting skills that are suitable for you. In the Xiao family, you just need to concentrate on your practice, it will be beneficial." Xiao Ming said with a smile as he patted Xuetian's arm. .
"Cousin Xiao Ming, it's time for dinner."
Outside the small courtyard, Xiao Shan's voice came in.
"Let's go." He said to Xuetian, and Xiao Ming took the lead to walk out the door.
Outside the small courtyard, Xiao Shan was standing at the door waiting. After seeing Xiao Ming, a smile appeared on his face.
"Cousin time is up, let's go to the hall together."
"Let's go."
…
chatted all the way, and the three of them soon arrived at the place where the banquet was held.
Xiao Ming and the others stepped into the hall, there were many people.
In an instant, the noisy hall was instantly quiet, and everyone's eyes were on the trio at the door.
"The tall figure in Xiao's clothes is Xiao Shan, so the handsome boy next to him should be Xiao Ming, right?"
Xiao Ming's appearance is not recognized by many people, but Xiao Shan's appearance is already familiar to these people, so it is easy to guess his identity.
The goal of this trip is right in front of you, but these forces in Wutan City did not dare to get in front of Xiao Ming, but honestly stayed in their own position, not even daring to make a sound.
The reason is very simple, although many people in the Xiao family say that Xiao Ming has a good character, but that is what others say after all.
It is still necessary to carefully observe what is going on in the end, go forward rashly, and what if others are upset.
You know, Xiao Ming's killing them is almost like killing an ant.
The atmosphere of silence did not last long.
