Now, the atmosphere in the hall became even more tense.
The atmosphere is on the verge of breaking out.
At this moment, a guard's announcement came from outside the door, "Chief of the clan, elders, the Li family's eldest son and several ladies have arrived and are walking towards the lobby."
"The eldest son of the Li family? Why did he come here suddenly?" Xiao Zhe frowned.
"I don't know..."
Xiao Zhe didn't know what he suddenly thought of, and looked at Xiao Yifeng suddenly.
Could it be him...
As if he knew what he was thinking, Xiao Yifeng sneered and said, "The fourth elder thinks too much. I don't have the ability to invite the eldest son of the Li family."
"Huh!" Xiao Zhe snorted coldly, and then looked aside, "Brother, Li Quan's coming is not good, or..."
He glanced at Xiao Yifeng and Ling Xuewei. Needless to say, Xiao Ning also knew what he meant.
"Today's matter will be settled here, and I, the Xiao family, will not pursue it any further. But...if I find out that you are secretly trying to harm my Xiao family, by then, I will never be as polite as I am today!"
Xiao Yifeng smiled slightly, "Clan Chief Xiao, you should know a way to solve it once and for all. Only by giving me the "Secret Book of the Bagua Organ" can you fully understand this matter. I will give you three days to think about it. After three days, I will
I’m here to visit again. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer next time.”
After saying this, he no longer looked at the ugly faces of Xiao Ning and others, and turned around and walked out with Ling Xuewei.
After they left, there was a crisp sound in the hall, followed by Xiao Zhe's roar.
"How unreasonable?! This is simply too much bullying! Brother, you must not give him the "Secret Book of the Bagua Organ"! This wolf bastard preys on my Xiao family and lives in my Xiao family. He has been favored by the Xiao family, but now he is ungrateful!
You can’t be soft-hearted this time!”
"Yeah, it's better to find someone to do it for him! Even his friend!"
"Chief, please give the order!"
…
Several elders spoke angrily, Xiao Ning's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. Don't forget, he has been in the Xiao family since he was a child, and he knows our methods very well! What's more, he
Things are no longer what they used to be, and we can no longer manipulate them at will, so we must not act rashly."
"Brother, what do you mean?" Xiao Zhe frowned.
Xiao Ning looked solemn, "He is now a ninth-level Martial Lord."
"What?!"
Xiao Ning's words shocked Xiao Zhe and others!
"How could it be? He was just a first-level Martial Lord before he left. How come he became a ninth-level Martial Lord after not seeing him for a while? How is this possible?"
"Chief, are you mistaken?"
Xiao Ning shook his head, "No. When I saw him today, I found that his aura was obviously different from before. I specifically used my spiritual sense to detect it, and found that he had reached the ninth level of martial arts. He was only one step away from being able to compete with me.
.”
Everyone was silent now.
They never thought that the young boy who was nothing to fear in their eyes would now become such a formidable opponent!
Ninth-level Martial Lord! What is that concept?
It's equivalent to him being enough to become the patriarch of a big family!
With such strength, no matter where he goes, he is respected by everyone! It is no longer so easy for them to attack him like they did before!
"Then what should we do? We can't just watch him humiliate us like this, right? Brother, "The Secret Book of the Bagua Organ" is the treasure of my Xiao family, and we must not give it to him!"
A cold light flashed in Xiao Ning's eyes, "Don't worry, even if he is not what he used to be, my Xiao family is not a vegetarian! Just because of him, he still wants to fight with my Xiao family? He is not overestimating his own abilities!"
"Then brother, what should we do?"
Xiao Ning's face flashed with deep thought, then his eyes lit up and he said, "Let's do this..."
Ling Xuewei and Xiao Yifeng were walking on the way leaving Xiao Mansion together.
Ling Xuewei looked at the servants around her who were trying to avoid them, as well as the Xiao family children who showed resentment on their faces, and shook her head helplessly.
"It seems that these people completely regard you as their enemy."
Xiao Yifeng next to him had no expression on his face, "It's always been like this, I've long been used to it."
Ling Xuewei looked at his clenched jaw, sighed in her heart, patted his shoulder, and said, "You still have Lingxi, and I, let go and do it!"
Knowing that he was trying to comfort him, the haze in his heart faded a bit and he smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile yet."
Ling Xuewei slightly raised her lips.
In fact, Xiao Yifeng still cares about it, right?
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made a special trip here today.
He could have taken action directly, but he still came. Perhaps to extinguish the last glimmer of hope in his heart? Or perhaps to stop letting himself be soft-hearted?
That's it for everyone else. Ling Xuewei could feel that she still had some differences towards the clan leader Xiao Ning.
After all, it was Xiao Yifeng who brought Xiao Ning back and has been raising him. Therefore, it is impossible to say that there is no trace of gratitude.
But after so many years, even if I feel grateful, it has been worn away by assassinations and frame-ups time and time again.
"I don't know if I came here today to put an end to their thoughts, or to put an end to my own thoughts..." Ling Xuewei murmured.
"What did you say?"
Ling Xuewei said seriously, "It's nothing, let's go."
After saying that, she looked up and saw a group of people walking towards her.
The leader is a young man who is about 20 years old. He has black hair and white clothes and wears a wooden hairpin. At first glance, he looks like a scholar who came out of a private school. His face is gentle, elegant and handsome. Especially his eyes, with a gentle and light expression.
Light.
What a handsome young man.
At this moment, the young master also saw them. He nodded slightly, nodded to them politely, and then looked away.
The two parties crossed each other in an instant. At this moment, a faint fragrance of magnolia came. Ling Xuewei's eyes flashed slightly and she tilted her head slightly.
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly turned his head.
For a moment, their eyes met.
Both of them were startled, as if they didn't expect the other person to suddenly turn around. Then they both nodded politely and looked away.
It wasn't until the pedestrian was far away that Xiao Yifeng spoke, "That person is the eldest son of the Li family, Li Quan."
"Really?"
Ling Xuewei said lightly, Xiao Yifeng glanced at her and said, "This person looks gentle and elegant, very harmless to humans and animals, right?"
Ling Xuewei said lightly, "That's just watching."
"hehe……"
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Everyone understands that if he is truly harmless to humans and animals, how could he become the heir apparent of the Li family, the head of the four major families?
The two of them quickly left the Xiao Mansion.
After leaving the gate, they were not in a hurry to go back, so they just wandered around the street.
"I heard that the eldest son of the Li family has been sick since he was a child and has stayed in the house all year round. I am lucky to meet him today."
Ling Xuewei said, "When he passed by just now, I smelled the fragrance of magnolia, and the fragrance was also mixed with a little medicinal fragrance. He must have been involved in medicinal soups since he was a child."
Xiao Yifeng nodded, "The outside world has different evaluations of him. Some say that he became the heir apparent because of his mother's status as the princess of Qinglong Kingdom. Others say that the heir apparent of the Li family is extremely smart and has great strategies, so he can become the heir apparent."
The heir apparent of the Li family is the result of his own plot."
"Oh? These two comments are interesting. What do you think?" Ling Xuewei asked.
Xiao Yifeng said, "I think both of these are possible. If you only have support but no strength, it will definitely not work. But if you only have strength and a humble status, the chances of winning are naturally not high."
"That's right. Li Quan's rise to power can be considered a result of current events."
The two of them walked away chatting, and soon found a restaurant and went in.
It was almost noon, and they planned to find a place to have something to eat.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the two found a place to sit down, ordered a few signature dishes, and started eating.
"Yifeng, it's better to be careful these two days. I don't think the Xiao family will let it go."
The two chatted while eating.
Ling Xuewei felt that the Xiao family would make some moves in the next few days.
Xiao Yifeng nodded and said, "I know I would be surprised if they gave me the "Secret Book of the Bagua Organ" so easily."
"Then what do you think they'll do next?"
"After knowing that I am difficult to deal with, they naturally cannot confront me head-on."
Ling Xuewei raised her eyebrows, "I guess Xiao Ning already knows your cultivation level."
"Probably, you can imagine how surprised he must have been at that time."
At this moment, when Xiao Yifeng talked about Xiao Ning, there was no fluctuation in his eyes, just calmness.
"I guess he might use Lingxi to blackmail you, Yifeng, take Lingxi away for a while in the past two days and come back in three days," Ling Xuewei said.
Xiao Yifeng hesitated, "Then you..."
"If you are worried about me, then there is no need. After all this time, you still don't understand my abilities?"
Xiao Yifeng naturally knew what Ling Xuewei was capable of. But sometimes she thought about it, the person in front of her was just a girl under eighteen years old, even younger than Ling Xi.
But Ling Xuewei is more independent and tenacious than anyone else. From her, there is no trace of innocence or weakness that suits her age.
Xiao Yifeng really didn't know whether he should be happy or sigh.
"What are you thinking about?"
Ling Xuewei's words interrupted Xiao Yifeng's thoughts.
Xiao Yifeng looked up at Ling Xuewei, "I was just thinking, are you really only seventeen years old?"
Ling Xuewei was startled, then smiled, slowly approached him, and said mysteriously, "Actually, I'm almost forty, but you can't tell."
Xiao Yifeng shook his head helplessly, with an expression that said, "If you believe me, you will be a ghost."
Ling Xuewei shrugged, she was telling the truth.
Ling Xuewei's age in her previous life plus this life would make her forty years old, right?
These days, no one even believes the truth. It’s really a bad world and a bad one!
"I will take Lingxi out for a few days. It just so happens that the second selection of Taihe Sect will be held soon. I am not worried about putting her in the Xiao Mansion." Xiao Yifeng has Lingxi in his heart all the time.
Ling Xuewei picked up the bamboo shoots with her chopsticks and put them in her mouth, slurring her words, "I know, I know, you and Lingxi can live a good life together. I will take advantage of these few days to visit the Qinglong Kingdom."
