"It's hard to find a confidant. As a young lady from a big family, Lingxi can be strong and independent. I'm very optimistic about her." Ling Xuewei said with a smile.
Xiao Yifeng looked at her in surprise, "This is the first time I see you have such a high opinion of someone."
Ling Xuewei glanced at him, "What? No?"
Xiao Yifeng chuckled, "Of course not, I just think it's rare."
At the same time, Xiao Yifeng felt an inexplicable pride in his heart.
Ling Xuewei rolled her eyes at him, "Just be happy to get Lingxi's favor. Lingxi is a good girl. If it weren't for you, she, a direct daughter of the Xiao family, wouldn't have gone through all the troubles to enter the sect.
Door."
Xiao Yifeng's expression was slightly solemn, "I know."
Ling Xuewei glanced at him and said, "Yifeng, no matter what the Xiao family has done to your people, they are all blood relatives of Lingxi after all. Lingxi can give up the entire Xiao family for you, but as a last resort,
Don't let her be in trouble about you."
"Xuewei, I know. I have said that Lingxi is Lingxi and the Xiao family is the Xiao family. I will not do anything to make her sad. Likewise, I also know what is really most important to me.
Now that Xiao Yifeng has figured it out, she doesn't have to worry.
However, Ling Xuewei felt that she really had a hard life, and she had to consider other people for such things. Thinking about her previous life, she was not such a warm-hearted person. Sure enough, after two lifetimes, some things have changed unknowingly.
However, Ling Xuewei didn't seem to hate such changes.
"By the way, I went out yesterday and happened to meet people from the White Bird Guild and the Hungry Wolf Guild."
After hearing this, Xiao Yifeng was surprised and said, "Have you met them?"
Ling Xuewei nodded, "Well, these two families have a deep feud. They started fighting in public. It seems that the struggle between the major guilds in Qinglong Kingdom is very fierce."
"You guessed it right. The white bird and the hungry wolf are equally powerful. In addition, the two families often fight for territory, so they are extremely jealous when they meet. Especially the hungry wolf people, they are too overbearing in their actions and have many friendships.
Enemy. However, the president of Hungry Wolf is a ruthless character. It is said that he is very powerful and is a seventh-level martial master." Xiao Yifeng talked about the information he knew.
Ling Xuewei raised her eyebrows slightly.
A seventh-level Martial Lord is indeed powerful.
"Xuewei, if you see hungry wolves in the future, try not to provoke them. They are all desperadoes, and if they really fight with each other without their lives, I'm worried that you will suffer a loss." Xiao Yifeng warned with a worried look on his face.
Ling Xuewei smiled and said, "When have you ever seen me suffer a loss? I don't take the initiative to provoke others, but if someone takes advantage of me, I don't mind letting them know the consequences of provoking me. Yifeng, for these people, if you step back
, they will just think that you are easy to bully and press forward every step of the way. Instead of doing this, it is better to give them a shock and make them retreat."
Ling Xuewei's words made Xiao Yifeng enlightened and he suddenly realized.
Yes, he is no longer the person he used to be. He can be manipulated and trampled on by everyone.
Wasn't he coming back this time just to make those who bullied him feel the price, so that no one would dare to humiliate him and Lingxi casually again?
"You're right. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. It's because I worry too much." Xiao Yifeng looked at Ling Xuewei and said seriously, "Xuewei, you are really different from other women. You can always alert me."
Ling Xuewei raised her eyebrows, "Come on, don't say that. What if your Lingxi hears it and becomes jealous of me?"
"Haha..." Xiao Yifeng smiled helplessly, then hesitated and said seriously, "Xuewei, I want to go to Xiao's house."
Ling Xuewei put down her chopsticks and looked at him, "Have you decided?"
Xiao Yifeng nodded, "Well, it's time to face it. I can't escape forever."
After hearing this, Ling Xuewei's mouth curled up slightly, "Okay, I support you."
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
…
After breakfast, the two set off together.
Ling Xuewei couldn't let Xiao Yifeng go alone, so she went with him.
Xiao family residence.
Located in the central street of Yunshui City, the entire mansion occupies about three acres. The two stone lions in front of the gate alone show their majesty.
There is a huge plaque above the door with the words "Xiao Mansion" written on it, which is grand and majestic.
As expected of the Xiao family, one of the four major families, just looking at the front door is impressive enough.
Ling Xuewei looked at Xiao Yifeng beside her. He looked up at the tall plaque and didn't know what he was thinking.
"Yifeng?"
Xiao Yifeng came to his senses and Ling Xuewei said, "Shall we go in?"
Xiao Yifeng nodded, "Okay."
The two of them walked towards the door together. The four guards at the door saw them and stopped them, "Who are you two looking for?"
Xiao Yifeng said, "Go and inform the head of the Xiao family that Xiao Yifeng is visiting."
When several people heard this, they were immediately shocked. It seemed that they had heard of Xiao Yifeng's name. There was a moment of panic on their faces, and then someone hurried to report it.
To the Xiao family, Xiao Yifeng was an outsider who had been kicked out of the house a long time ago. What's more, I heard that some time ago he came back and broke into the Xiao Mansion and fought with Young Master Xiao Ling in the manor, making the people in the fourth room furious.
The clan has issued a wanted order for him, how could he dare to come to the door openly?
The other guards looked at him warily.
Soon, the guard who went to report came back and said to the two of them, "Master, please come in."
Ling Xuewei and Xiao Yifeng looked at each other and then entered the Xiao Mansion.
The first thing that comes into view is a long passage. The road is very wide, and both sides are covered with exotic flowers and plants.
There are many rockeries in the mansion, surrounded by green plants and clear water and springs.
The atmosphere exudes elegance, and the simplicity and Chineseness show everyone's style.
Along the way, many servants looked at them, but when they saw Xiao Yifeng, their expressions changed drastically, and they left in a hurry.
"It seems that the entire Xiao Mansion will know that you are back soon."
Xiao Yifeng sneered, "They are always well informed."
Sure enough, when Ling Xuewei and Xiao Yifeng walked into the living room, many Xiao family members were already gathered inside.
At first glance, there were nearly a hundred people!
Sitting on the main seat is a middle-aged man about forty years old. He has a square face, slender eyebrows and starry eyes, and a dignified appearance, giving him a majestic aura.
On both sides of him, there were six or seven people sitting respectively. They were all older and should be the elders of Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Yifeng walked to the center of the lobby without squinting in front of everyone.
"Clan Chief Xiao, Yifeng is here to pay his respects. How are you?"
Before the clan leader Xiao Ning could speak, an angry voice came, "Xiao Yifeng! How dare you come back?! You seriously injured my son and almost killed him! If you come back now, you are not afraid that I will ask you to pay with your life?!"
The person who spoke was the person sitting next to Xiao Ning. He had an angry look on his face and his eyes were about to spit out fire.
Xiao Yifeng curled his lips and said, "Forgive me, Fourth Elder, I had no choice but to do so. Your son Xiao Ling wanted to kill me that day, so I had no choice but to take action in order to protect myself."
It turns out that he is Xiao Ling's father, Xiao Ning's fourth brother, Xiao Zhe.
"Bullshit! It's obvious that you have a grudge and want to take revenge, but you still say you have no choice but to do so? You're a repayer of kindness..."
"Fourth brother, please be patient." At this time, Xiao Ning, who was in charge, spoke.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Xiao Zhe had to shut up bitterly.
Xiao Ning looked down, "Xiao Yifeng, you are no longer a member of my Xiao family. No matter how many grievances you have had in the past, let them pass. I don't know the purpose of your coming here today, but I still want to advise you not to be persistent anymore.
In the past, don't show up at Xiao Mansion casually again, otherwise I won't be so easy to talk to next time."
There seemed to be a warning in Xiao Ning's tone, and it was also mixed with some complicated emotions.
No matter how much it is, Ling Xuewei won't be able to tell.
Ling Xuewei knew that the person who brought Xiao Yifeng back to the Xiao family was the head of the Xiao family in front of her.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have any feelings for Xiao Yifeng, so why not only did he personally expel him from the Xiao Mansion later? Why was he so heartless towards him?
Is it true that there is no friendship in a big family?
"Chief Xiao, the reason why I came here this time is to get back something that belongs to me." Xiao Yifeng got straight to the point.
"Nonsense! How can there be anything in my Xiao family that belongs to you?" Xiao Zhe sneered.
Xiao Yifeng didn't care at all about his ridicule and said calmly, "I didn't even say what it was, why should the Fourth Elder be so excited?"
Xiao Zhe's face froze, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Xiao Yifeng, don't forget who brought you back to the Xiao family! Over the years, you have eaten and used the Xiao family's food, have the Xiao family ever collected any money?
A point in return? What's the result? Not only did you repay your kindness, but also seriously injured a child of my Xiao family, and now you come here openly and say you want to take back something that belongs to you? Are you kidding me? Everything in this house belongs to the Xiao family, which one?
Is it your Xiao Yifeng?!"
"That's it! Something!"
"It doesn't matter how many years the Xiao family has raised him, and now he has the audacity to come back and ask for something. How shameless!"
"that is……"
…
Xiao Zhe's words immediately excited everyone in the Xiao family present. Everyone looked angry and wanted to rush forward in the next second.
Xiao Yifeng remained expressionless, as if he had not heard the accusations around him.
At this moment, Xiao Ning spoke up to stop everyone's commotion and looked down sharply, "What is it that you want to get back?"
Xiao Yifeng didn't squint his eyes and said astonishingly, "The Secret Book of the Bagua Organ."
"What?!"
Someone exclaimed, and then immediately silenced under Xiao Ning's look.
The atmosphere in the lobby quickly condensed.
The juniors all showed confused expressions. Only the older generation knew what Xiao Yifeng was talking about, and everyone looked ugly.
"What's the "Secret Book of the Bagua Organ"? I've never heard of it! Xiao Yifeng, don't talk nonsense here!" Xiao Zhe shouted.
"Whether it is nonsense or not, I believe the seniors here know best."
After seeing the reactions of these people, Xiao Yifeng finally confirmed the question that had been in his mind for many years.
Coupled with the results of his secret investigation, he was basically certain that the Xiao family was inseparable from the destruction of his clan back then.
