Xiao Sheng's hand holding the cup was trembling slightly.
It can be seen that he is quite uneasy in his heart. This scene... has never happened in his dream.
Xiao Chen put down his cup, took the jug, poured wine for Xiao Sheng first, and then filled it for himself.
"Come on, don't just drink, eat something. These...are the foods you loved when you were a kid."
Xiao Sheng pointed to the dishes on the table and said to Xiao Chen.
"When you grow up, I don't know what your taste has become. I can only tell the kitchen to make it according to your childhood taste."
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen nodded. He noticed it when these dishes were put out just now.
He didn't expect that Xiao Sheng would remember clearly, including what he liked to eat.
Does this... look like a father who doesn't care whether he lives or lives?
Not like.
But why was it like that back then?
No matter from the location of the Xiantian Pavilion or the food and wine on the table, Xiao Chen could feel Xiao Sheng's concern for him, even his father's love.
But why didn't he feel anything back then?
"Why, you don't like eating it now? How about I ask them to change it to something else?"
Seeing that Xiao Chen didn't move, Xiao Sheng asked.
"no."
Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at Xiao Sheng.
"Can you tell me, what were your difficulties back then and why did you do that? If you want me to forgive you, you have to give me a reason to forgive you, right?"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Sheng was startled, and then smiled bitterly, "Don't mention what happened back then. I'm sorry for you...I said it, and I don't ask for your forgiveness. Can you sit down and drink with me?"
Just chatting, I’m very satisfied, really.”
"What are you hiding?"
Xiao Chen could see the bitterness in Xiao Sheng's eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"Some things have already passed, and if I tell you, it doesn't make any sense, so it's better not to say them... There are some things, the time has not come yet, so if I tell you, it won't do you any good."
Xiao Sheng picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Xiao Chen, and drank it all in one gulp, regardless of whether he drank or not.
"So, it's better not to say anything."
"..."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Sheng. At this moment, he felt that the person facing him was not Xiao Sheng, but an old fortune teller.
Because many times, this is how fortune tellers deal with him.
Very annoying!
However, he still picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"Then can you tell me, when will the time come? When will I return to the Xiao family? Or when?"
Xiao Chen put down his cup and asked slowly.
"I don't know, wait until I...come back."
Xiao Sheng thought for a while and said.
"Waiting for you to come back? Where are you going?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"The head of the Xiao family, to me, is actually more like a shackle, trapping me in the Xiao family... Now that the shackles have been removed, I am ready to leave for some time and travel around."
When Xiao Sheng said this, he smiled.
"Just like your seventh uncle did, he traveled a lot and was carefree...and now it's him, trapped in the Xiao family!"
"Just walking around?"
Xiao Chen didn't believe it.
"certainly."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"To use a popular saying among you young people, the world is so big, and I want to see... the outside world, isn't it very exciting?"
"When are you coming back?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"I don't know the return date. It may be very soon, a few months, or it may be very long, three years or five years."
Xiao Sheng shook his head.
"When I come back, I will go to Longhai to find you and tell you everything!"
"Three years and five years?"
Xiao Chen frowned, so long?
"Are you going to travel around the world?"
Xiao Sheng was startled, then laughed: "Hahaha, maybe the mood has come over and I really want to travel around the world!"
"..."
Xiao Chen didn't even know what to say.
"How about it? Don't ask any more questions. Just have a drink with me today. We have a gentleman's agreement. When I come back, I will tell you whatever you want to know!"
Xiao Sheng poured the wine and picked it up.
"I don't need you to forgive me now. You can continue to resent me... After drinking this glass of wine, I will treat it as your promise."
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Sheng, and finally picked up the wine glass and clinked the glasses with him. "Okay, gentleman's agreement, I'll wait for your return!"
"Haha, cheers!"
Xiao Sheng smiled, he had never been so happy as he is today in many years.
As he said, he did not ask for Xiao Chen's forgiveness. He was already satisfied to sit face to face with Xiao Chen and have a glass of wine and chat.
As for the rest, we’ll talk about it later!
Xiao Chen didn't ask any more questions. Since it was agreed, just wait.
Three to five years is not a short time, but what if you come back early?
Months are not impossible to wait.
Furthermore, by putting aside his complaints for the time being, he felt a little more relaxed.
Before this, he didn't want to face Xiao Sheng, but after a few glasses of wine, he felt it was okay.
At least at the moment, he thought the atmosphere was okay.
"The ancestor said that he will leave the Xiao family in the near future and go out for some travels. The fifth ancestor will go into retreat..."
Xiao Sheng thought of something and said to Xiao Chen.
"Well, Lao Xiao told me about this."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Old Xiao discussed the meaning of life with me. He wants to see those old friends..."
Hearing the word 'Old Xiao', Xiao Sheng twitched his lips, this kid... the more he calls it, the easier it is to say it!
"Now that the power of the clan elders has been cut off, with your seventh uncle's ability, he will soon have complete control over the Xiao family... It won't be long before the Xiao family will become your backing."
Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Chen and said.
"This is also what the ancestor meant."
"Old Xiao? He knows what I am going to do?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.
"No matter what you want to do, there is always some benefit to having the support of the Xiao family, right? Although the Xiao family has fallen in my hands, it is still one of the twelve aristocratic families."
Xiao Sheng said seriously.
"Especially since the ancestor has given an order to spend resources to cultivate masters. Maybe it won't be long before a large number of new talents appear in the Xiao family."
"Well, when it comes to this, Lao Xiao is indeed courageous."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"I don't know much about the ancestor. Although I have met him several times over the years, I haven't had much communication... The ancestor had been in seclusion before because he was injured."
Xiao Sheng said slowly.
"This is also the reason why the outside world speculates whether the ancestor is still alive. Now it seems that his injury has completely healed."
"Injured? Who was injured?"
Xiao Chen was surprised. Xiao Yi became innate many years ago. It can be said that he caught the last train of "innate". Not long after him, no one in the ancient martial arts world entered this realm again!
It can be said that Xiao Yi is truly at the pinnacle of the ancient martial arts world and the top master!
Someone could actually hurt him?
"Not sure."
Xiao Sheng shook his head.
"If the ancestor had appeared frequently over the years, the Xiao family would not have been weak... The outside world has been testing the situation, and this is the case with the Xuantian Sect and the Ximen Family."
"The news should have spread by now, and there should be no movement from those who have ideas against the Xiao family."
Xiao Chen lit a cigarette and said.
"Give me one."
Xiao Sheng said to Xiao Chen.
"Ah? Oh."
Xiao Chen handed Xiao Sheng a cigarette and lit it for him.
"Be careful. Although the Xiao family will not admit it, there will definitely be speculation about your strength from the outside world, and I'm afraid someone will be eyeing you by then."
Xiao Sheng thought of something and reminded him.
"Well, Lao Xiao also told me about this."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"As long as it's not innate, it doesn't matter. Even if it's innate, it's not that easy to keep me."
"Invincible?"
Xiao Sheng looked at Xiao Chen, thought of his words, and asked with a smile.
"Ahem, that's about right."
Xiao Chen coughed dryly. These words came from Xiao Sheng's mouth, which still made him a little embarrassed.
"Let me ask Lao Xiao, among the innate masters, whether he is powerful or not... If he is not powerful, then he really needs to be careful."
After the battle with Xiao Yi, Xiao Chen compared Xiao Yi and Qian Yexun. Xiao Yi should be stronger than Qian Yexun!
Therefore, Xiao Chen thought that Lao Xiao should be considered a strong person among the innates.
"It should be above average."
Xiao Sheng thought for a while and said.
"Above average... I don't know what kind of combat power the top innate masters will have."
Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, Xiao Chen frowned and muttered to himself.
"Will the gap be huge?"
"meeting."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"Top-level combat power can crush weak innates."
"Weak congenital? Is it normal congenital?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Sheng and asked.
"right."
Xiao Sheng nodded.
"For someone like Ancestor, if he encounters a top-level innate, he will be suppressed, not to mention crushed... Only two or three of them may be able to fight against one top-level innate."
"Huh? Does that mean that innateness actually has realm divisions? Like An Jin, Hua Jin... is there such a thing as innate Dzogchen?"
Xiao Chen asked subconsciously.
"It existed before, but now the boundaries have become blurred... You can ask an old fortune teller about this."
Xiao Sheng said to Xiao Chen.
"Ask him? He never takes the initiative to tell me this..."
When Xiao Chen said this, he suddenly thought of something and looked at Xiao Sheng.
"How do you know so much? Aren't you at the peak of the late stage of transformation?"
"..."
Xiao Sheng was shocked. Did you say too much?
At the same time, he was also a little worried, and then he reached the peak of his strength in the later stage?
When did the late peak of Hua Jin become so bad?
Especially when these words came from his son's mouth, it was even more heartbreaking.
I am not as good as my son. I am happy but also a little complicated!
"What, after all, I am also the head of the Xiao family. I still know some things..."
Xiao Sheng said to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Sheng, is this the case? Why do you feel that he has hidden a lot of things from him?
"Come, let's have a drink."
Xiao Sheng picked up the wine glass and changed the topic.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and drank it all in one gulp.
"Is that okay? Another pot?"
Xiao Sheng asked with a smile.
"Can."
Xiao Chen nodded.
Xiao Sheng picked up another pot of wine, poured it for Xiao Chen first, and then filled it for himself.
"This wine, speaking of which, is older than you. I reserve some of it every year..."
Xiao Sheng introduced.
"Well, it tastes good."
Xiao Chen nodded and picked up the wine glass.
"Haha, that's good. Just drink more and let me see how much you drink."
Xiao Sheng smiled and clinked glasses with Xiao Chen.
"Come, drink."
"Um."
As soon as Xiao Chen took a sip, his face suddenly changed slightly.
"Don't drink!"
But by the time he said it, it was already too late, and Xiao Sheng drank all the wine in his glass.
