As the saying goes: There is no good banquet and no good table.
Even though Xing Nan guessed that if the Xue family invited him over, they might hold a "Hongmen Banquet" and kill him, he still put on clean clothes and walked along the avenue to Shi Shiran after the inn closed in the evening.
Blue maple city.
He just wanted to see how the Xue family would fall out.
Even if the Xue family doesn't invite him this time, Xing Nan will go to the Xue family sooner or later... Uncle Chen must not die in vain!
He was not worried that he came too late, because there were people watching outside Wuyin Inn. Not long after he left Wuyin Inn, he was afraid that the Xue family had already received the news and would have been prepared.
Xing Nan's expectation was good. Not long after he walked out of Wuyin Inn, in a grass forest not far from Wuyin Inn, a carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and flew towards Blue Maple City.
The carrier pigeon was extremely fast, and it only took a cup of tea to fly into Blue Maple City, and then fell into the courtyard of the Luo Family Mansion, where it was caught in the palm of Luo Feng's hand.
Luo Feng took off a rolled up note from the carrier pigeon's slender legs, read the contents on the note, and hurriedly walked to his father's study.
The head of the Luo family, Luo Biao, was reading in his study. After taking the note from his son, he said hello and then walked out of the study with his son.
"Go and invite your second uncle." Luo Biao ordered Luo Feng.
…
After walking leisurely for nearly an hour, Xing Nan walked from Wuyin Inn to Blue Maple City. In half an hour, the gate of Blue Maple City will be closed.
At this time, Lanfeng City was already deserted. There were very few pedestrians on the streets. There were a few sneaky figures following him. Xing Nan, who had greatly enhanced his spiritual consciousness, could easily find it, but he pretended that he had not noticed anything.
.
The Xue Family Mansion was not far from the south gate of Blue Maple City. He only had a tea break before arriving at the entrance of the Xue Family Mansion.
"Haha, my dear nephew is here, so why not welcome him from afar?"
Xue Hongtao and several slaves seemed to have been waiting at the door for a while. After seeing Xing Nan, he came up to him with a smile on his face, grabbed Xing Nan's arm and said, "There was someone running from outside just now.
When I came back, I said that I saw my nephew entering the city at the south gate. I didn’t believe it at first, and I never thought that my nephew was really back. It’s very good, very good!”
"I have been waiting for you for a long time."
"It's true that my nephew has not come back since he stayed at my Xue family for a few days. It's all because of that girl Lan Feng's ignorance, which made my nephew misunderstood. But my nephew shouldn't be as knowledgeable as her.
right."
Xue Hongtao seemed friendly and spoke very enthusiastically. Seeing that Xing Nan did not answer, he added: "My nephew is back, I should say hello first, so that I can ask my servants to prepare more food and wine to entertain my nephew. Currently, most of the servants are servants and maids."
Having already fallen asleep, it would inevitably seem too hasty to wake them up to get ready."
The courtyard of the Xue Family Mansion seemed very quiet and dark, with few lights and few servants walking around.
"Haha, it doesn't matter."
Xing Nan smiled and said casually: "As Shibo said, my nephew is not an outsider. Shibo does not need to mobilize troops to greet my nephew."
Xue Hongtao didn't speak anymore, and accompanied Xing Nan with a smile all the way, leading Xing Nan to a living room.
Along the way, Xue Hongtao carefully observed Xing Nan and felt the aura on Xing Nan's body. He felt that...compared to the last time he came to Xue's house, Xing Nan now was less nervous and reserved.
I am a little more calm and calm, and my self-confidence has obviously been greatly improved.
Xing Nan's current realm and cultivation level are not yet able to completely contain or hide his aura, but his aura made Xue Hongtao, who had just broken through to the level of a fifth-grade swordsman, feel a sense of danger and palpitations.
It was precisely because of this feeling that Xue Hongtao didn't say anything later. He was just secretly frightened——
Only half a year has passed, and this boy has actually made such a big leap. Is it true that the rumors that he is comparable to the heroes of a country are true? Is it not alarmist that Luo Biao wants to unite the Luo family and the Xue family to deal with this boy?
Xing Nan's expression remained unchanged all the way, and he followed Xue Hongtao into a small living room.
In the living room, a banquet table has been set up, and two maids are waiting on it.
"My dear nephew, please take a seat!"
Xue Hongtao pulled out the vice-chair of the wine table and asked Xing Nan to sit down.
But Xing Nan shook his head and smiled, walked straight to the chairman opposite, and sat down on him.
The chairman is also called the superior, usually the senior member of the family. If Xue Dawei comes today, the chairman's position should belong to Xue Dawei.
Even if Xue Dawei doesn't come, Xue Hongtao should still be the chairman.
After all, Xing Nan is a junior. Even if he is a guest from afar, he is not qualified to sit on the chairman's chair.
The smile on Xue Hongtao's face suddenly froze, and his expression became a little gloomy.
However, Xue Hongtao's face was full of smiles again, and he ordered the maid beside him: "Go and invite the second and third masters to come over."
"yes!"
A maid took the order and left.
Xue Hongtao sat helplessly on the vice-chair on the left and asked Xing Nan: "What we are discussing today is a big happy event for the two families. It should be more lively. The second and third children are my younger brothers. They are also qualified to interfere with their nieces."
The wedding is about to happen, so you should come and accompany your nephew. The nephew will meet them soon, so it’s better not to be too agitated."
"Yes, on a big day, of course the more lively the better, it would be great if your family comes to discuss it, as long as no outsiders come."
Xing Nan nodded repeatedly, but his words had hidden meanings.
He has spiritual consciousness, and everything within a ten-foot radius of this living room will be clearly visible to his consciousness, even under the cover of darkness.
But it is obvious that the Xue family and the Luo family did not know that Xing Nan already had spiritual consciousness. They were ambushing around the living room. Although they were five or six feet away from the living room, they were all discovered by Xing Nan's consciousness.
.
It was precisely because he discovered that there was an ambush around him that this banquet was definitely a murder banquet that Xing Nan unceremoniously sat down in the chair.
Tonight, he is destined to be the most important person at this banquet, or the common goal of everyone else!
The maid who went out before came back soon, but she brought not only Xue Hongtao's two younger brothers, but also three experts from the Xue family who claimed to be here to accompany the wine.
These three masters of the Xue family are actually Xue Hongtao's cousins, and all of them have the cultivation level of third-grade swordsman or above.
It doesn't matter how many division-level masters come, they can't do anything to Xing Nan. What worries Xing Nan the most is the two spirit-level masters hidden outside.
Among the two spiritual masters outside, Xing Nan recognized one of them, that person was Luo Biao, the head of the Luo family. The other one had a somewhat similar appearance to Luo Biao, and he was probably also a strong member of the Luo family.
"This Luo Biao is lucky. He has been promoted to the realm of martial arts, but it is only the first level. The other martial spirit does not look like he has just been promoted, but he is also below the third level martial spirit, and his strength is inferior to Princess Yunshang.
Very far away.”
Xing Nan did not get up to greet the five Xue family masters who had just arrived, but instead assessed the danger he would face in his heart.
The newly arrived experts from the Xue family naturally frowned and looked dissatisfied when they saw Xing Nan sitting in the chairman's seat. All the Xue family members in this room could be brothers with Xing Nan's father in terms of seniority. In addition,
This is the courtyard of the Xue Family Mansion again. When they see a junior sitting on the chairman's chair, their faces are naturally dull.
However, thinking of today's major event, they did not reprimand him verbally, but said in their hearts: "Let this kid be arrogant for a while, or he will turn into a cold corpse before long!"
After everyone was seated, Xue Hongtao picked up the wine glass and said: "Come, my dear nephew, Shibo will give you a drink!"
However, Xing Nan did not pick up the wine glass, but said leisurely: "Uncle Shibo, drinking can easily cause trouble. What we are talking about today is a big matter. It is better to talk about the matter first, and then drink again."
The six Xue family masters, including Xue Hongtao, had all raised their glasses at this time, but Xing Nan had no intention of drinking. This made them extremely embarrassed, and they could only put down their glasses in frustration.
All the masters of the Xue family are enduring it.
A small impatience will ruin a big plan. They are waiting for Xing Nan to have a drink.
There is nothing unusual about this drink, and it has no peculiar smell, but as long as you take a sip, those who are not at the level of Wuzong will become weak.
No matter how evil Xing Nan is, there is no way he has reached the clan level.
Of course, in the opinion of the experts of the Xue family, with the power ambushed around this living room, even if Xing Nan was in his prime, he would not be able to escape death.
But it would be better if we could save some effort and trouble.
"Actually, you and Lan Feng's marriage has been decided for a long time. Now you have reached the age where you should start a family, so Uncle Shi invited you here to ask if we should choose a good and auspicious day to hold the wedding. I don't know.
What do you think, nephew?" Xue Hongtao said.
"I really want to know what Xue Lanfeng thinks. She seems to dislike me and has no intention of getting married to me." Xing Nan tapped her fingers rhythmically on the wine table.
"Parents make the final decision on marriage matters. What I mean is what Lan Feng means." Xue Hongtao seemed very confident.
"Haha, it would be better to invite her here and explain things clearly in person." Xing Nan shook his head and smiled.
Xue Hongtao hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go and ask Lan Feng to come here."
After speaking, Xue Hongtao turned around and left the living room.
Xing Nan could guess that Xue Hongtao did not ask the maid to invite him, but went out personally, and he must have wanted to explain or persuade Xue Lanfeng.
Not long after, Xue Hongtao actually brought his daughter Xue Lanfeng in, but Xue Lanfeng's face seemed too calm.
Xue Lanfeng's cultivation has also improved a lot, and now she has reached the ninth rank swordsman. I am afraid that she will be taken away by the masters of Yunxiao Sword Sect in a short time.
Xue Lanfeng also heard about some of Xing Nan's deeds. Xing Nan suddenly transformed from a waste to a national hero, which was hard for her to accept. However, she did not feel good about Xing Nan because of this. Instead, she practiced harder and harder, striving to enter the Yunxiao Sword Sect as soon as possible.
.
In her opinion, as long as she enters the Yunxiao Sword Sect, she will be able to leave Xing Nan far away sooner or later.
