A banquet has already begun in the Li family's mansion. The Li family's people are responsible for arranging the guests to the banquet table. Of course, most of the guests are entertained by the Li family's stewards, and only a few of them can be entertained by the Li family's head.
Li Xiong entertained them personally.
These few are all great masters in the southwest, and behind them are forces that are comparable to those of the Li family. Even Li Xiong does not dare to entrust them with their power.
The guests at the main table are almost seated, but the top seat is still empty. People who are familiar with traditional Chinese culture know that this seat is the chief seat, and only those with the most distinguished status can occupy it.
It is precisely because of this that many people are curious. Is there anyone in the southwest who is more noble than the head of the Li family and these powerful men?
Of course, although these people on this table are strong, they cannot be said to be the strongest in the southwest. After all, Li Xiong and others are only in the late prefecture level, and there are naturally strong people at the heaven level in such a large place in the southwest.
The status of a heaven-level powerhouse is naturally much more noble than that of a late-stage earth-level powerhouse.
But the key point is that this is the wedding banquet of Li Xiong's son, and it is impossible for a heaven-level powerhouse to show up. Even if Li Xiong himself gets married, a heaven-level powerhouse will not show up unless he is related.
Because heaven-level experts only communicate with experts of the same level, it is impossible for those who are not heaven-level to squeeze into this circle.
This is something that Li Xiong, the late prefecture-level powerhouses, know best.
Precisely because they understood this, several old men sitting at the main table were a little curious, and one of them couldn't help but ask: "Brother Li, is there anyone else coming?"
"Well, there is another distinguished guest coming, I think he will be here soon."
Li Xiong did not directly say the name of the distinguished guest, but showed off a secret, because he was waiting for the shock and shock that the guest would bring when he appeared.
Even though these people are here to congratulate each other, in fact, there are some frictions between the forces represented by these people and the Li family. To put it bluntly, everyone is competing with each other. If the Li family declines, Li Xiong can
It is certain that these people will definitely attack the Li family as soon as possible.
Of course, the opposite is also true. If any of these forces has a problem, you will be the first to add insult to injury.
After hearing Li Xiong's answer, although the old men at the table had smiles on their faces, they were already wary and began to make secret guesses.
Ten minutes later, a disciple of the Li family at the door of the mansion suddenly shouted: "A distinguished guest has arrived."
Hearing this voice, Li Xiong's eyes lit up and he walked quickly towards the door. His actions also attracted the attention of all the guests present. Everyone looked at the door curiously. They wanted to know what was going on.
What kind of distinguished guest can be welcomed by the head of the Li family at the door?
At the gate of the Li family, an old man appeared there. When they saw the old man, most of them had a blank look on their faces, because they didn't know the old man at all, and they were sure that he was not a strong man from the southwest.
who.
Only a few people, especially the old men at the same table as Li Xiong, changed their expressions because they recognized the old man's identity.
"How is it possible? When did the Li family get involved with that family?"
"If the Li family is really related to that family, then I'm afraid the Li family's power in the southwest will expand again."
These old men looked at each other, and they all saw shock in each other's eyes, and the reason for all this was because of the old man who appeared at the door.
Although a ninth-level earth-level expert is powerful, he cannot change the pattern of the southwest. But the key lies in the identity of this old man and the power he represents behind him.
"Thank you, Brother Fang, for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my son's wedding banquet. Please invite me soon, Brother Fang."
Li Xiong looked at the old man with a very respectful expression. Even if the opponent's strength was only at the same level as his, the person standing behind him was the Fang family, the leader of the Fang family. This identity was enough.
"Brother Li, you're welcome."
Fang Shen laughed. As the head of the Fang family, normally he would not come to the wedding banquet of a junior member of the Li family. But he owed Li Xiong a favor, so after Li Xiong sent him an invitation, he didn't.
reject.
Fang Shen also understood the purpose of Li Xiong's invitation to come. He just wanted to create an illusion to the outside world that the Li family had a close relationship with their Fang family, but Fang Shen didn't care. For the sake of favor,
Go ahead, if Li Xiong wants to pull off the tiger's skin, just give it to him.
Fang Shen was personally welcomed by Li Xiong to take a seat at the main table. Other guests also began to take their seats, but the banquet was not started because the groom and bride had not yet appeared.
"Li Tong, call Ao'er and ask him where he is now and ask him to speed up."
Li Xiong glanced at the sky and frowned slightly. Normally, the wedding team should have returned by this time, so why is there still no one there yet?
Of course, Li Xiong was not worried about what would happen to his son. This time there were two elders following his son to the Xiao family. With the strength of the two elders, they could completely sweep the entire Xiao family.
Thinking of the woman from the Xiao family, Li Xiong had his own plan in mind. Many people thought that the Li family did this to cut off the hope of the Xiao family's rise. But in fact, this was only one of the goals, and there was another goal that outsiders didn't know.
Other forces have never understood why the Li family keeps suppressing the Xiao family, and suppresses it so obviously. It is because they do not know that when the Xiao family was not defeated, the Li family was the servant of the Xiao family.
When the Xiao family was defeated, the Li family also took the opportunity to break away from the Xiao family and began to develop slowly. However, in fact, all the cultivation methods of the Li family came from the Xiao family, but with this cultivation method, they could only cultivate to the ground.
In the late stage of the level, it is simply impossible to break through to the heaven level.
Therefore, the reason why the Li family suppresses the Xiao family so much is because they want to get the Xiao family's cultivation method, but this matter cannot be made public, because if other forces know about it, they will definitely stop it and even find ways to protect the Xiao family.
, because no force wants to see the Li family become powerful.
Compared to the defeated Xiao family, the Li family poses a greater threat to them.
That's why Li Xiong let his son marry Xiao Yu'er because he wanted to get the method of cultivation from Xiao Yu'er.
Just as Li Xiong was waiting for his son to come back, several figures suddenly ran in from the door in a panic.
"Clan...Clan leader, something is wrong."
A steward and several young people from the Li family came in. These people were responsible for welcoming guests at the door. Li Xiong frowned. There were so many guests present, but as a steward, he was in a panic. This was simply...
Disgrace the Li family.
"If you have something to say slowly and in a hurry, how is it appropriate to do so?"
Li Xiong glared at the steward, but the steward also looked aggrieved. If the matter hadn't been too urgent and shocking, he wouldn't have wanted to be like this.
"Xiao...people from the Xiao family are here." The steward stammered.
"A member of the Xiao family?"
Li Xiong was stunned for a moment. Although his son was marrying someone from the Xiao family, the Xiao family would definitely not come. After all, this matter was a shame to the Xiao family.
"Come when you come. Just arrange a table in the corner."
But since the Xiao family is here, Li Xiong doesn't care. The Xiao family is willing to embarrass themselves in front of so many people, so he doesn't care.
"Patriarch, it's not what you think..."
The steward still had to explain, but at this time, many guests had already seen the figures appearing at the door. There were only two figures, one male and one female, and they were both young men and women.
These two figures were unfamiliar to everyone present, except of course one person.
Fang Shen looked at the man who appeared at the door, and his eyes shrank, as if in disbelief. After a few seconds, a look of confusion appeared on his face, and he murmured in his heart: "Why is this ancestor here?"
Fang Shen, as the head of the Fang family, naturally knew Fang Ming. Even a few days ago, he deliberately avoided Fang Ming. There was no way, all the members of the Fang family were blackmailed by this little ancestor.
However, the elders appreciate this person so much, and this little ancestor is also very powerful.
If they can't be beaten, and there are elders covering them, the hall masters like Fang Shen can only choose to hide if they can't afford to offend them.
"Who are you?"
Li Xiong stared at Fang Ming and Xiao Yu'er. Of course, his eyes mainly fell on Fang Ming, because he found that he could not see through Fang Ming's realm.
As for Xiao Yuer, she was simply ignored by Li Xiong. Of course, this was also because he didn't know Xiao Yuer at all. He only knew that his son was going to marry Xiao Yuer from the Xiao family, but he had no idea what Xiao Yuer looked like.
So Li Xiong didn't know that the woman in front of him was his future daughter-in-law, but Li Xiong didn't know, it didn't mean that other people in the Li family didn't know, especially the young people in the Li family, when they saw Xiao Yuer appear at the door
At this time, everyone's face showed a look of shock.
Xiao Yu'er and a strange man appeared, but their young master's figure was missing. This is very scary if you think about it.
"I'm here to ask for a wedding drink, but the dignified head of the Li family doesn't even know the person his son is marrying. It's really surprising."
Fang Ming shook his head slightly. His words made the other guests who didn't know Xiao Yu'er look uproar, and Li Xiong's expression finally became surprised.
"She is Xiao Yu'er? Where is my son?"
"Your son?"
Fang Ming raised his right hand, and everyone noticed that he was holding a package in his hand behind his back. At this moment, the package flew towards Li Xiong and landed steadily on the main table.
The package fell on the table and spread out. When everyone saw clearly what was inside the package, they all exclaimed, and Li Xiong's expression became extremely ugly at this moment.
