A quarter of an hour later, on a street in Pujiang County, a commercial vehicle stopped in front of Fang Ming and Li Ru, and a middle-aged man got out of the car.
"Mr. Fang, I am Cao Hai, a staff member of the Tianfu Branch of Department A stationed in Pujiang County. Welcome Mr. Fang to Pujiang County."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Li Ru looked a little shocked. After Fang Ming made the phone call, he signaled the driver to stop, and then he and she got out of the car and waited on the street for more than ten minutes.
Li Ru didn't know who Fang Ming was waiting for, but now she finally understood after hearing Cao Hai's words.
Department a, this mysterious department, ordinary people like Li Ru shouldn't know about, but she has a very good relationship with Xiao Yu'er. Once she curiously asked herself, Yu'er, if people like them were working in the secular world*
*What will happen?
Li Ru still remembered that Yu'er mentioned this Department A to her at that time. This department was specially designed to deal with people like Yu'er. If Yu'er and the others really committed a crime in the secular world, they would be punished by the people from Department A.
to hunt them down.
"Master Fang, according to your request, there are two cultivating families in Pujiang County, and the Xiao family is one of them, living not far from Shixiang Lake."
Cao Hai was very respectful to Fang Ming, even more respectful than he was to his own leader. The reason was very simple. The head of the department in southern Xinjiang was dismissed not long ago. It is said that he made his superiors angry and was arrested.
And this time it's all because of the person in front of me.
He didn't know the specific matters in southern Xinjiang at his level, but after receiving Fang Ming's call, his boss told him to keep him company and obey the other party's request no matter what it was.
At this moment, my own leader immediately bought a ticket and was on his way back from other places.
"Take us there."
Fang Ming and Li Ru got into the car driven by Cao Hai, and the three of them drove towards the Shixiang Lake Scenic Area.
"Master Fang, this is all the information about the Xiao family."
In the car, Cao Hai handed Fang Ming a document. The document inside recorded all the people and situations of the Fang family. Department A dealt with the cultivation world, and naturally had a clear investigation into the cultivation families hidden in various places.
Normally, files like this require a certain level to be viewed, but in front of Mr. Fang, these rules should be ignored. Cao Hai believed that his boss would only praise him if he knew about it.
After taking the document, Fang Ming opened it and read it. Soon he had a detailed understanding of the Xiao family.
The Xiao family is considered a very old family and has existed in Tianfu for many years. According to the records above, at its most glorious time, the Xiao family was ranked among the top ten families in the cultivation world and was the largest force in the southwest. However,
That was hundreds of years ago.
As early as three hundred years ago, the Xiao family began to decline. There has never been a heaven-level powerhouse. It slowly turned from the largest family in the southwest to a third-rate family, and later retreated to this small town in Pujiang County.
place.
The decline of a family will always be much faster than its glory, because glory depends on oneself, but if it declines, it will face the failure of others.
After all, there are only so many resources. If other forces want to occupy them, they can only seize them from the Xiao family. As the largest force in the southwest, the resources occupied by the Xiao family can be imagined. Seeing that the Xiao family does not have a heaven-level
After becoming strong, other forces in the southwest started to add insult to injury.
If the head of the Xiao family hadn't decisively given up these resources and retreated directly to Pujiang County, the Xiao family might not have been able to preserve its inheritance. But even so, the Xiao family's life is not easy now.
The decline of the Xiao family was caused by its own and external factors, so for these families and sects in the southwest, they are naturally wary of the Xiao family and will not allow the Xiao family to rise again.
Therefore, although the forces in the southwest did not cause trouble for the Xiao family on the surface, they were also targeting the Xiao family secretly. This caused the Xiao family to retreat to Pujiang County, but it was difficult for them to move forward and survive.
In addition to introducing the history and situation of the Xiao family, the document also mentions the current members of the Xiao family.
There are now more than fifty people in the Xiao family. The most powerful one is the patriarch of the Xiao family, who is currently on the second level of the earth level. Apart from that, there is only one elder on the first level of the earth level, and the others are all human level.
Most of the younger generation of the Xiao family are at the fourth or fifth level of the human level. Their talents can only be considered mediocre in the world of cultivation, except for one person, who is Xiao Yu'er.
Xiao Yu'er, who is at the Earth level, has cultivated to the Earth level at such an age. He is considered a genius disciple even among those big forces, let alone a failed family like the Xiao family.
Xiao Yu'er's talent will naturally arouse the vigilance of other forces. They are afraid that Xiao Yu'er's talent will make the Xiao family rise again, so they decided to draw fire from the bottom of the cauldron.
"Master Fang, the Li family not far from Pujiang County is a big family in the southwestern cultivation world, and the Li family and the Xiao family have grudges in their ancestors, so among the many families that suppressed the Xiao family, the Li family was the most active.
.”
Seeing that Fang Ming had read the information, Cao Hai explained while driving, "It's just that the Xiao family is very cautious in doing things and will not give the Li family any clues. The Li family cannot attack the Xiao family without any reason. Until not long ago, the Li family
The patriarch of the family proposed marriage to the Xiao family and wanted Xiao Yuer to marry his son."
After hearing Cao Hai's words, Fang Ming finally understood what he meant by drawing fire from under the cauldron.
Didn't your Xiao family produce such a genius as Xiao Yu'er? Then I will take Xiao Yu'er away and make her a member of the Li family. When Xiao Yu'er marries into the Li family, there will naturally be a way to make Xiao Yu'er happy with the Li family's methods.
Surrendered.
For the Xiao family, even if they know about the Li family's conspiracy, there is nothing they can do. If they don't agree, the Li family will definitely find excuses to attack the Xiao family. The anger of the Li family is not something that the declining Xiao family can bear.
"According to the information I have investigated, the Li family members have already arrived at the Xiao family, and the Xiao family seems to have given up the struggle and agreed to marry Xiao Yu'er to the Li family."
"How could this be?"
Li Ru, who was also listening in the car, looked a little worried. She knew her best friend's character. She looked indifferent on the outside, but in fact she was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She was still very stubborn inside. How could she accept a forced marriage?
Even if you choose to sacrifice your own happiness for the sake of your family, you will definitely make a decisive move in the end.
"Mr. Fang, you must save Yu'er."
Cao Hai, who was driving in the front, heard Li Ru's request to Fang Ming and almost stepped on the accelerator because he was shocked by the news.
If Mr. Fang comes here because of Xiao Yuer, and the Li family wants to forcefully marry Xiao Yuer, then...
Cao Hai suddenly had a bad premonition that something his leader was worried about was about to happen.
