When they saw those two figures, Xiao Chen and Xiao Ling'er were stunned on the spot.
Both of them showed expressions of disbelief. Xiao Chen even wiped his eyes, looking like he had seen a ghost.
After a long time, the white light door disappeared, and the two of them came back to their senses.
They both looked at each other with strange expressions.
Xiao Chen frowned and asked in a complicated tone: "Sister Ling'er, am I not blind to you? Are they really those two people?"
"Yeah!" Xiao Ling'er nodded repeatedly, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and she waved her little fists excitedly.
"Great! I really hit the mark! Master Tianxing is indeed coming to the Xiao Clan! I didn't expect that we would meet again soon!"
Xiao Chen looked at her dumbfounded and said jokingly: "Sister Ling'er, have you ever opened your mouth before? Can you say this kind of thing right?
But I'm wondering, who are they?
It is impossible for someone with a foreign surname to enter the Xiao clan, are they really descendants of the Xiao clan?"
Xiao Ling'er's imagination was wide open, and she suddenly said: "Our Xiao clan has lasted for thousands of years, and has already spread its branches and developed very powerfully.
Perhaps their elders were once descendants of the Xiao clan and left the Xiao clan hundreds of years ago to go to the Zhongzhou Continent.
Now hundreds of years have passed, and a peerless genius has emerged among their descendants, so they want to return to the Xiao Clan to pay homage to their ancestors?"
Xiao Chen originally thought it was ridiculous, but after thinking about it carefully, he nodded in agreement and said: "Well, it's very possible, sister Ling'er, you are smarter!"
"Don't be stunned, let's go back quickly and find out who they are!" Xiao Ling'er grabbed his arm, couldn't wait to fly to the Twin Islands, and opened the light gate of the magic circle.
The two took out their identity tokens and used the Xiao Clan's secret formation skills, and soon opened the barrier formation.
After a moment, a dazzling white light lit up in the middle of the Twin Islands, condensing into a wide light gate.
The two people quickly got into the light door and disappeared with a "swish".
…
Ji Tianxing and Xiao Han flew side by side in the sky, not very fast, admiring the surrounding scenery while rushing along the road.
The land is an endless expanse of grassland, with waist-deep thatch growing there, and there are many small flowering and fruit trees in the grass.
A hundred miles ahead, there is a majestic mountain range, stretching for nearly a thousand miles, like a gray dragon lying on the earth.
The sky was blue, with a few scattered white clouds floating, and it looked extremely quiet.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the air is so rich that it even condenses into patches of colorful auspicious clouds and mist, sprinkling tiny bits of spiritual liquid.
While the two were flying, Ji Tianxing said with admiration: "I never expected that deep in the barren and desolate Southern Wilderness, there is such a worldly cave filled with spiritual energy.
No wonder the Xiao clan is able to thrive, spread its branches and leaves, and produce elite children of the Xiao clan in large numbers.
The choices and decisions made by the ancestor of the Xiao family are indeed courageous and wise.
Only in this way can a clan last for thousands of years without declining, and instead become more and more prosperous."
Xiao Han nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Master Ji, you are so complimentary. This cave in the great swamp of the Southern Wilderness is indeed a blessed place.
But compared with the many wonders of Zhongzhou, it is not worth mentioning.
As for our ancestors of the Xiao family, they indeed have great wisdom and perseverance, which I deeply admire.
If the Xiao family were born and competed with the three great aristocratic families for supremacy, they might become the fourth great aristocratic family.
However, the ancestor of the Xiao family once said that everything in the world conforms to the way of heaven. Things must turn to their extremes, and their prosperity must decline.
If the Xiao family gets involved in worldly affairs and fights for power and profit, it is very likely that they will perish early.
The Duanmu family and the Murong family are examples. They have been prosperous for thousands of years, but now one has perished, and the other is declining and will never be the same again.
Thinking about it this way, it would be the wisest choice for the Xiao clan to live in seclusion in the great swamp of the Southern Wilderness!"
Unknowingly, the two of them had flown a hundred miles away and arrived in the sky above the majestic mountains.
Ji Tianxing looked down at the mountains below and saw countless houses and palaces built on the top of the mountains, forming huge manors.
In every manor, there are ancient-style palaces built, with many guards and warriors active.
Behind the mountains is a vast grassland.
In the middle of the flat grassland, there are several clear lakes as calm as mirrors.
The lake surface is sparkling, and on the grassland around the lake, there are various spiritual beasts scattered around, including white cranes, wind birds, flaming rhinoceros, golden-winged apes, etc...
Obviously, the dozens of miles of houses and buildings on the top of the mountain range are where the Xiao people live.
The grassland behind the mountains is where the Xiao clan raises their spiritual beasts.
Ji Tianxing made a rough estimate and found that the dozen or so manors on the top of the mountain range could accommodate at least five to six thousand people.
It can be seen from this that the Xiao clan is indeed a prosperous family through the ages, with a very prosperous population.
"Mr. Ji, we have arrived."
Xiao Han stopped flying and landed at a huge manor on the top of the mountain.
"That is Tingfeng Garden, and it is also the residence of my third uncle.
In the past hundred years, I have only come back a few times, but each time I stayed in Third Uncle’s Tingfeng Garden.”
As they spoke, the two landed at the gate of Tingfeng Garden.
The broad and solemn gate was guarded by six guards in armor, looking solemn and solemn.
After seeing Ji Tianxing and Xiao Han, one of the guards hurriedly came up to them, bowed respectfully, and asked: "Senior, I wonder which house you are from, who are you looking for in Tingfeng Yuan?"
Xiao Han directly took out an identity token and said solemnly: "Brother from the third house, Xiao Han is back to visit the third elder."
"Xiao Han?" The guard was startled for a moment, then immediately showed an expression of admiration and quickly bowed to salute.
"You are Mr. Han from our third room? The divine general who guards the East China Sea??"
Several guards showed excited expressions, and their eyes sparkled with disbelief.
Obviously, they had heard of Xiao Han's reputation for a long time, but had never seen him in person.
Xiao Han nodded slightly, put away his token, stepped through the gate, and entered Tingfeng Garden.
As he walked toward the manor, he did not forget to explain to Ji Tianxing: "The people living here are all descendants of the Xiao clan, and even people who are strangers to each other are related by blood.
Therefore, when everyone gets to know each other, they will call themselves children of "so-and-so house" to make it easier to distinguish them.
The Xiao clan has a large population. In addition to the ancestors and the supreme elders, the elders of the nine major clans usually manage the affairs of the clan.
My father and the third elder are cousins, and the third elder is my uncle, so I am a child of the third family.
Since my parents passed away, my third uncle has been taking care of me and teaching me how to practice.
The third uncle is the best at refining weapons. He is in charge of the clan's Lingbao Hall and is responsible for refining magic weapons for the family.
It's a pity that the third uncle's health has always been poor, and he is plagued by hidden injuries that are difficult to cure.
I am worried in my heart, but I have never had time to come back to visit him. I feel very ashamed to say that..."
Ji Tianxing nodded to express his understanding and said with relief: "After all, you are a divine general appointed by the Imperial Court. You have to protect the hundreds of millions of people in the Eastern Wilderness. It is normal that you don't have time to go home to visit relatives."
