"Brother, calm down! He is not one of those people."
At this moment, Xiao Zhuang saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly shouted, and at the same time reached out and grabbed the shoulder of the man in black.
Seeing that the conflict that was about to break out came to an abrupt end, the hall was filled with awkward silence.
Although the specific reason is not yet clear, Sun Huo can already conclude from this blocking words that the broken sword in his hand is not a simple token of agreement in the ordinary sense. Nine out of ten cases involve something.
Among the feuds, it is more likely to be a conflict at the family level.
Immediately thinking of the key, Sun Huo couldn't help but groan secretly. He felt that this task couldn't be completed as easily as it seemed on the surface by just delivering the things. Now he had to work hard to deal with it. He was also very suspicious.
, Mr. Sun has made a mistake about the executor. How could he have the ability to solve such a big trouble?
While Sun Huo was secretly complaining about the mission sent by Wu Yunxia without telling the clear details and precautions, the man in black and Xiao Zhuang, as the clan leader, were also secretly surprised by Sun Huo's reaction just now.
Judging from the aura of spiritual power that is no longer restrained but released outward, it can be seen that the visitor actually has the cultivation level of the early stage of foundation building. There is nothing special about this situation. If he does not have outstanding enough strength, then he must at least have such a cultivation level.
Only then are they qualified to visit as a messenger without losing their dignity. This also reflects how much the sect attaches importance to a family that cultivates immortality. What really surprised them was that facing a family with a higher level of cultivation
Sun Huo was able to counter the clan leader's out-of-control murderous intent without changing his expression, and did not even make any unnecessary extreme moves. Of course, it is impossible to judge the true strength of an immortal cultivator without actually fighting against him, but in this way
The powerful aura is enough to detect a leopard. It can be seen that there is such a master hidden in the sect, but he has no relevant information or impression, which arouses the fear of the two of them.
"I've lost my composure. Please be generous and bear with me, fellow Taoist." Since neither etiquette nor strength could prevail at the moment, the man in black immediately made a decision and immediately leaned over to apologize to Sun Huo.
Xiao Zhuang was startled again, but he immediately reacted and saluted with his hands, even though the person in front of him was only a junior in terms of age and cultivation.
Such a sudden change caught Sun Huo off guard. Even so, he still clearly realized that the two people opposite him were the heads of the clan. As a junior, he was not qualified to accept the other party's gift carelessly, so he subconsciously turned sideways to avoid it.<
/p>
After hesitating for a while, Sun Huo showed a half-smile, carefully choosing his words and said: "Chief Xiao's words are serious, I really don't deserve your apology. It's human nature to think about things before you see them. This is just a small misunderstanding.
Nothing was hurt, so don’t worry too much.”
Such a self-degrading and unreasonable aggressive attitude once again refreshed the two people's impression of Sun Huo. Although it was impossible to judge whether these words were sincere, they sounded very useful and obviously gave the Xiao family a great deal of influence.
Face and steps.
After a few tacit polite words to each other, Sun Huo opened his palm and gently held it, and the broken sword immediately flew steadily to the opposite side. "Please check the token, Chief Xiao. If there is no problem, I will consider this trip complete."
Mission accomplished."
At this time, it was Xiao Zhuang who took two small steps forward and took the broken sword. In front of Sun Huo, he did not do any further inspection, but turned around and talked silently with the man in black, and then some
He asked politely, "Dare you ask Fellow Daoist Sun, apart from this token, does the sect ask you to convey any news?"
"No, the order I got was to deliver the things. What's wrong?" It felt a bit strange, but Sun Huo still answered without thinking. However, after confirming the expected information from his own mouth, Sun Huo felt
The other party's eyes became a little strange. He didn't understand that since he had never seen this broken sword, how could it have anything to do with it?
"Don't be surprised, Fellow Daoist Sun, this thing is related to an agreement between our Xiao family and the sect. If the agreement is changed when the letter is sent, it will be a different matter. And if there is no other explanation, then you need to cooperate with the messenger, that is
You accomplish one thing."
Seemingly aware of Sun Huo's ignorance and displeasure, the man in black actually took the initiative to explain a few words. However, these words also made Sun Huo confused, even if there was really any trouble to deal with next.
You should be the one to help yourself, but in just a few sentences, the subject and object are reversed and you become the leader. If something goes wrong in the process, you will be the first to suffer disaster.
"It's already late today. It's very hard for Dao Friend Sun to come all the way to deliver the message, so I'll stay here for one night. It won't be too late to fulfill the agreement tomorrow, so that our Xiao family can fulfill our friendship as landlords. I have other important matters.
I'll deal with it. I'll excuse you for now. Third brother, entertain the distinguished guests well for me!"
Before Sun Huo could ask what specific things he wanted to accomplish, the man in black suddenly spoke up and made arrangements. He had been the leader of the clan for quite some time, and his words conveyed the majesty of someone who had been in power for a long time.
, Although the words he spoke at this moment were polite, his tone was so calm that there was no room for Sun Huo to object. And as soon as he finished speaking, he quickly walked out of the room, released a short sword and flew over it, and left the place. p>
In the blink of an eye, only Sun Huo and Xiao Zhuang were left in the room.
Being treated so coldly by the head of the Xiao family, Sun Huo's expression remained unchanged on the surface, and he looked like he would just accept the arrangements as he came, which made Xiao Zhuang secretly look down upon him again. In fact, he felt very depressed, but for the sake of
If you can get the cooperation of the other party and understand the specific content of the agreement, you can leave as soon as possible, but you have to endure it.
Then, under Xiao Zhuang's greeting, the two of them came to another elegant guest building. Here, as if to make up for the unpleasantness of the previous conflict, Xiao Zhuang immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet for the company.
Banquets and frequent invitations to drink. Being in the other party's place, Sun Huo couldn't refuse too much, so he could only bite the bullet and drink with him.
After drinking for three times, Sun Huo finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and anxiety, and asked Xiaozhuang about the details of the agreement.
As this question was raised, Xiao Zhuang, who was originally very enthusiastic, frowned slightly and finally sighed softly. After a while, he turned to stare at Sun Huo and asked without blinking: "Fellow Daoist Sun, are you really
Don’t you recognize that token?”
"I've never seen it before." Sun Huo was startled, knowing that he was about to come into contact with the key to this mission. He immediately put down his long chopsticks, sat upright and responded with a solemn expression.
"That broken sword belonged to a traitor of the Xiao family, and it was it that broke the clan leader's arm in the fight not long ago." Xiao Zhuang lowered his head and said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Sun Huo was immediately horrified. The man in black was able to burst out with such strong murderous intent before, which shows that he is not an ordinary person, and as a patriarch, ordinary people cannot get close easily. Under such conditions, he still
Being injured, I really don’t know how the murderer did it.
But before Sun Huo could think about anything else, what Xiao Zhuang said next shocked him even more.
It stands to reason that such a heinous person was eventually captured on the spot, and after interrogation to extract all the information, he should be immediately sentenced to death and subjected to the punishment of soul refining. However, a certain elder of the sect intervened to prevent this result, and for
He made an agreement to keep his life alive until someone wanted to meet him. This agreement was delayed from a few days to a year, until today Sun Huo showed up to fulfill the agreement.
After listening to this simple explanation, Sun Huo felt a little cold on his back and felt very embarrassed. But unexpectedly, Xiao Zhuang did not ask about Sun Huo's relationship in this matter, but quickly
He changed his mood and put it behind him, and continued to persuade Sun Huo to drink. He also talked and exchanged some anecdotes and cultivation experiences with him, as if he were friends who had known each other for many years.
Just like that, after having a good meal with Sun Huo and both of them looking a little drunk, Xiao Zhuang stood up and said goodbye. After watching Sun Huo leave, Sun Huo walked straight up to the attic with some wandering.
Layer, he fell on his back on the bed, as if he was completely drunk and fell asleep.
