Chapter 62 Dinner Party
After Hai Bodong left, Xiao Yun returned to the room to check and found that Xiao Yixian and Qing Lin were both fine, just unconscious. Only then did he feel relieved and returned to the yard to think about the fact, he could understand Yao Lao's choice. He was once a powerful Dou Zun who was famous in the Douqi Continent, but was ambushed by his disciple. Now he can only hide in a storage ring and survive.
After being stranded in the most remote northwestern continent, he finally encountered a monster like Xiao Yun. He must want to use him to resurrect, but his methods are not very bright.
If Yao Lao was asked to choose between Xiao Yun and Xiao Yan, he would definitely choose Xiao Yun, who has a stronger talent. After all, Xiao Yun had already reached the Dou Wang realm at the age of thirteen, and was also a sixth-grade alchemist. In the future, he might even become a Dou Sheng-level existence, helping him to avenge himself and reshape his body.
"So this old guy has no choice." Xiao Yun murmured. After all, Yao Lao is not like him. Knowing the future plot, he didn't know that Xiao Yan's normal cultivation is slow, but after going out to adventure, his level jumps up like riding an airplane.
The old guy that Xiao Yun mentioned is now hiding in the black ring on Xiao Yan.
"Alas, I was still too impatient." In the ring, a somewhat illusory old man with a white beard seemed distressed by his reckless behavior.
Yao Lao has witnessed Xiao Yun's growth. Even after becoming powerful, he still did not forget his family and was humble and polite. Moreover, he has such a strong talent that he is simply his first choice if he wants to resurrect him.
He absorbed Xiao Yan's Dou Qi in order to lure Xiao Yun back, and then slowly give Xiao Yun benefits and guide him step by step. However, he did not expect that Xiao Yun, who was a great Dou Master a few years ago, would break through to Dou Wang and become a sixth-grade alchemist this time.
Seeing that things were getting out of control, Yao Lao didn't care about exposing himself to danger and prepared to confess some things directly to Xiao Yun. He was afraid that if he was too late, when Xiao Yun's realm broke through again, he would be a fish on the chopping board.
Xiao Yun's talent was among the best even in Zhongzhou, where there were many geniuses. This made Yao Lao see the possibility of his resurrection, and he did not want to miss this opportunity.
"I hope everything can develop as I thought, otherwise I can only..." The old voice resounded in the ring. Now that things have been done, it is useless even if Yao Lao regrets his decision. He can only hope that Xiao Yun will not be blinded by greed, like Han Feng did before!
……
Xiao Zhan was very efficient. Before the afternoon, all the forces in Wutan City had received invitations, inviting them to come to the Xiao family. Each force also prepared gifts to present to Xiao Yun at the banquet in the evening.
The night soon arrived as many people expected. Tonight the Xiao family's house was brightly lit and everyone was laughing and talking.
At the gate of the Xiao family, many people who were considered important figures in Wutan City lined up in an orderly manner, holding their gifts and waiting, and from time to time they would show flattering smiles to the people coming out of the Xiao family.
Soon, a middle-aged man dressed in Xiao family clothing came out, looked at the leaders of these forces, and said loudly: "Anyone with an invitation from my Xiao family can enter. If you don't have one, don't join in the fun."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people outside the door took out an invitation from their arms and raised their hands above their heads, indicating that they were the ones with the invitation.
"I am Jialiebi, the patriarch of the Jialie family. I heard that Master Xiao has returned, so I specially present you with the third-grade medicinal herb Purple Fire Vine. I hope Master Xiao will not despise it." Jialiebi was holding a jade box with an invitation from the Xiao family on top of it. He respectfully handed it to the member of the Xiao family.
The name of Jialebi caused the crowd outside the door to boil. You have to know that the Jiale family used to be of the same level as the Xiao family, and they were also one of the three major families in Wutan City. They didn't expect that when Xiao Yun came back, they could only offer gifts in a servile manner.
"Thank you, Chief Jiale. Please go in. Your place is inside." The middle-aged man felt proud when he saw Jiale, whom he could only look up to before, presenting his gift respectfully. In the past, he would not have dared to even think about it, but now that there was a top genius in the family, it was easily achieved.
"My Oba family..." Seeing Galeb's actions, others also came forward, vying to present gifts and wanting to enter the Xiao family.
When Galbi entered the Xiao family, he was led by the guards to a rather spacious hall. The tables in the hall were filled with various foods and drinks.
"Chief Jiale, your seat is here." A maid came forward and led Jialebi to a position close to the center.
"Thank you."
After Galbi sat down, before he had time to look around, he heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears.
"Hehe, Jialebi, you old fox, didn't you say you would fight the Xiao family to the death? Why did you seem so attentive when I saw you at the door just now?"
"Obapa, why are you sitting here too? What did you give me? Tell me about it." Galebi looked at Obapa sitting next to him and said in surprise. As for what he said, they were all old foxes, so who didn't have the nerve to do that?
"Why do you care what I give you? It's not worse than yours anyway. You still... Hey, brother Xiao Zhan, congratulations." Obapa was about to say something when he saw Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family, coming with a group of elders. He quickly stood up and walked to their side.
Seeing this, Galeb also hurriedly stood up and squeezed next to Xiao Zhan and the others. With a flattering look on his face, he tried his best to curry favor with Xiao Zhan and the others.
……
In the small courtyard, Xiao Yun was teaching the little medical fairy how to fight. Not far away, Qing Lin was teasing a little red snake.
"That's not how you do fighting. You have 100% strength, but that doesn't mean you have to use 100% strength in every move. If something unexpected happens, you won't have the energy to change."
"Slow, too slow. With your current strength, you can be faster!"
"Oh!"
The moment their fists collided, a dull sound was heard. Xiao Yun used his strength to push Xiao Yixian away. Looking at her who was already out of breath, he smiled and said, "You still have too little combat experience now. Although your cultivation has reached the level of a fighter, you are like a child holding a sword. It is easy to cut yourself."
Xiao Yixiang's evil poison body has been activated. In just three days, she jumped from the sixth stage of fighting spirit to the fighter level, which made Xiao Yun sigh at the power of the evil poison body. Although there is a risk of exploding and dying in the later stage, the improvement of cultivation is really too fast.
Qing Lin is already a fighter. Although her Green Snake Three-Flower Pupil does not improve as fast as her Evil Poison Body, it has no side effects. She only needs enough snake pets, and improving her skills will be as easy as drinking water.
"Hehe, don't be so complacent. I will catch up with you sooner or later, and then I will say the same thing to you." The little medical fairy wiped the sweat from her forehead. This guy really would not show any mercy. He would say something whenever he got the chance. He almost made her lose confidence, even though she was obviously quite capable.
"With your and Qinglin's physiques, you will catch up with me sooner or later." Ignoring the girl's threat, Xiao Yun looked up at the sky, estimated the time, and then said: "The banquet is about to begin, do you want to go with me?"
"No, no, there won't be any going. There will be a bunch of strangers here, and I will have to put on a fake smile if I go." Xiao Yixiang refused. She didn't really like this kind of hypocritical and lively social environment.
Hearing this, Qing Lin also said: "Brother, then I won't go either. I want to accompany Sister Xian'er."
"Okay, I'll send someone to bring you food later."
Xiao Yun was not surprised by the two's thoughts. If he didn't have to announce something at the banquet, he would not have bothered to go under normal circumstances.
……
Xiao Yun walked leisurely on the bluestone path and soon arrived at the banquet hall.
As soon as Xiao Yun stepped into the hall, Xiao Zhan and others, who were originally chatting with others, hurried over to greet him. Seeing their actions, everyone else in the hall turned their eyes to the young man at the door.
"Chief Xiao and several others have come forward to greet him. That should be Xiao Yun, right? He is so handsome and talented. How can justice be so just?"
The noisy hall became a little quiet because of Xiao Yun's arrival. The leaders of the various forces in Wutan City saw that tonight's target was right in front of them, but no one dared to come forward to talk. Instead, they chose to sit obediently in their seats, not daring to make a sound.
"Hahaha, Xiaoyun, you're finally here, come to the table quickly." Xiao Zhan laughed heartily and led Xiao Yun to the main table.
Xiao Yun glanced at the people around the hall, ignoring the fear and curiosity in their eyes. He took a step forward and followed Xiao Zhan and the others to the main table.
The main table is in the center of the hall, and those sitting there are all from the Xiao family. Mainly because other people don't dare to sit here.
After Xiao Yun sat down and reached out to pick up the food, the dinner finally began!
