Chapter 40 The Ancient Family in the Imperial City
Qingyang Tower, the largest restaurant in Qingyang City.
At this moment, Qingyang Guards had sealed off the restaurant, and a large number of people gathered around with curious eyes.
Lin Xiao followed Wei Feng and stepped directly into Qingyang Tower and came to the meeting hall.
In the hall, many people have already gathered.
These people are mainly divided into three groups.
One faction is composed of family forces, headed by Su Changqing, who has the largest number of people.
The other faction is Yuan Wu Tang, headed by Xiao Ting.
As for the last faction, it is naturally Jiange.
"Father." Lin Xiao came to Lin Changyuan's side and spoke softly, but Lin Changyuan looked surprised.
As a father, Lin Changyuan was always worried about Lin Xiao's safety. Now that Lin Xiao had returned safely from the Tianyao Mountains, of course he was pleasantly surprised.
"Just come back." Lin Changyuan patted Lin Xiao's shoulder heavily, then looked away and looked straight ahead.
Lin Xiao also looked forward.
The first thing that caught his eye was Xiao Ting with a proud expression on his face.
Next to Xiao Ting, stood a young man with a straight back and a proud expression on his face. He was wearing the uniform of a student from Jiangxing Academy.
This person is none other than Xiao Xingkong.
"Lin Xiao, you should still remember me, right?" Xiao Xingkong also saw Lin Xiao, the corners of his mouth raised, and his voice was filled with arrogance and pride.
When this voice sounded, the crowd around them immediately stopped talking and looked over.
One person was once the number one genius in Qingyang City. He disappeared for four years and returned with the same talent.
The other person is the number one genius in Qingyang City today. After becoming a general student, he returned to Qingyang City with great honors and his future is limitless.
Two peerless geniuses finally meet, who knows what kind of sparks will arise.
Everyone stared at Lin Xiao, but saw Lin Xiao raise his eyebrows slightly and said casually: "Of course I remember, four years ago, because you were so proud and arrogant, you were knocked off the ring by my palm, and your front teeth were broken on the spot.
"
"You..." Xiao Xingkong didn't expect that Lin Xiao would bring up the old things again, and his whole face instantly turned red with anger.
However, he knew that this was not a place for trouble, so he quickly restrained his anger, stared at Lin Xiao with gloomy eyes, and said, "I will take care of you later."
"Okay, I'll wait." Lin Xiao shrugged, unmoved at all.
At this moment, Lin Xiao felt a gloomy gaze scanning down, turned his head and found that it was Su Changqing.
At this moment, Su Changqing was sitting on a wooden chair. He stared at Lin Xiao coldly, with strange eyes, sometimes surprised, sometimes confused, and sometimes worried.
It should be noted that in order to assassinate Lin Xiao, Su Changqing not only hired three bronze medal killers, but also sent many Su family elders to the Tianyao Mountains for a grand battle.
But at this moment, Lin Xiao is not dead and has returned to Qingyang City safely. However, there is no news about the three bronze medal killers and the Su family members, and no one has been seen.
As the planner, Su Changqing felt strange and secretly worried about Su Muyan and the elders of the Su family.
However, he did not think that Lin Xiao had already killed three bronze medal killers and a group of people from the Su family.
Instead, he felt that Lin Xiao was really lucky. While avoiding the three bronze medal killers, he also avoided a lot of people from the Su family, so he was able to return safely.
The reason why there is no news about Su Muyan and the Bronze Medal Killer yet is because the beast riot in the Tianyao Mountains has delayed the trip.
"No matter what the current situation is, all I have to do is secretly kill Lin Xiao and take away the rare treasure. The rest has nothing to do with me."
Su Changqing thought in his heart, sneered, looked back, and re-planned the assassination plan.
Seeing the murderous intent hidden in Su Changqing's eyes, Lin Xiao knew exactly what he was thinking and did not reveal it, with a somewhat sarcastic expression on his face.
"Father, what on earth do you mean when you are summoned here?" Lin Xiao turned to Lin Changyuan and asked.
He looked around and found that except for some Jiange elders, the great elder was not here.
"I don't know." Lin Changyuan was also confused and whispered: "After I received the news, I rushed to Qingyang Tower directly. As for the Great Elder, I asked him to stay in Jiange to prevent any trouble."
Lin Xiao nodded in response, turned sideways, and said in Lin Changyuan's ear: "Father, I gained a lot in the Tianyao Mountains this time. When I return to Jiange, I will immediately help you repair your Dantian and reshape your broken arm."
Hearing this, Lin Changyuan's face burst into shock. When he saw Lin Xiao's serious face, he knew that what Lin Xiao said was true, let alone a joke.
"Okay!" Lin Changyuan took a deep breath and answered with only one sentence, but he revealed strong excitement.
He paused and then said to Lin Xiao: "Xiao'er, I will tell you what happened back then when I get back."
As he spoke, Lin Changyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had made such a decision after countless choices.
Seeing Lin Changyuan like this, Lin Xiao was about to say a few words of comfort, but at this moment, the door of the meeting hall opened.
Eee--
As the door opened, a group of figures walked in slowly. There were quite a few people, more than thirty people in total.
The leader is a young man, wearing brocade clothes, wearing cloud-climbing boots, and holding a jade bone fan. His body exudes a noble demeanor and his aura is very impressive.
"Young Master Gu, you're finally here." As soon as he saw this person, Xiao Xingkong immediately came forward, his face full of a flattering smile.
Xiao Ting also stepped forward.
He bowed and saluted the young man in brocade clothes, then turned to look at everyone and said solemnly: "Let me introduce you, this is Gu Qingyun, the young master of the Gu family in the imperial city, and a genius at Jiangxing Academy. He has been worshiped in heaven.
Under the gate of Shu Palace."
"It turns out it's Young Master Gu, you're polite." After hearing Xiao Ting's words, the crowd bowed and saluted with respectful expressions.
The Imperial City families are all giants.
The young man in front of me is both a member of the family and a student of a general. His status and background are very formidable.
Gu Qingyun didn't even look at the crowd, she just shook her jade fan and walked swaying.
In his eyes, these people in front of him are just ordinary people in the mountains and fields, and are not qualified to receive his attention.
Of course, Gu Qingyun didn't look at Xiao Ting, but Xiao Ting didn't care at all and the smile on his face remained.
Then he cleared his throat, looked at an old man in gray clothes, and said loudly again: "As for this, he is Senior Gu Chen. He comes from the ancient family in the imperial city. He is now the mentor of Tianshu Palace. He is an extremely noble person in the world.
A powerful person!"
Ding!
The hearts of the crowd trembled violently, and they all opened their eyes wide and looked at the old man in gray.
In the Imperial City of Qin, those who cultivate in the Qi and Blood Realm are enough to be called masters and have a distinguished reputation.
In the Heaven and Earth Realm, which is above the Qi and Blood Realm, the status is even more lofty. You can enter the imperial city and establish a family.
Qingyang City is a small border town, and for decades, there has never been a strong person in the Heaven and Earth Realm.
"It seems that these two people are the big shots in the mouth of the Lord of the City Guard." Lin Xiao murmured in a low voice. Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that something was wrong with Lin Changyuan's expression. He lowered his head and seemed to be dodging.
At this time, Gu Qingyun and his party came to the center of the hall. The old man in gray clothes named Gu Chen glanced around and let out a disdainful snort.
Like Gu Qingyun, he regards everyone as ordinary people and has a arrogant attitude.
Just when Gu Chen withdrew his gaze and was about to close his eyes and meditate, he saw Lin Changyuan in the crowd, his face trembled violently, and his expression became horrified.
"Uncle Chen, what's wrong with you?" Gu Qingyun noticed something strange about Gu Chen and asked.
Gu Chen did not answer. Instead, he took a quick step and came directly to Lin Changyuan, staring at him carefully.
Then, a burst of laughter burst out from Gu Chen's mouth, and he exclaimed in shock: "Lin Changyuan, it is indeed you. I didn't expect that I would see you again in my lifetime!"
When Lin Xiao heard this, his expression was a little strange. He looked at Lin Changyuan and found that Lin Changyuan's face had become extremely ugly and his body could not help but tremble.
"Lin Changyuan?"
Gu Qingyun walked over, his eyes flashed, and he asked Gu Chen with doubts: "Uncle Chen, is he Lin Changyuan? Seventeen years ago, his right arm was cut off by Jiang Xiang, his cultivation was abolished, and then he kicked General Xing out in public.
