C65 The Patriarch Summoned Him
The next day after the breakthrough, early in the morning, Xiao Jian was having breakfast with his father and talking about his future plans. Xiao Yuanshan agreed with Xiao Jian's decision very much, but he couldn't help feeling a little reluctant and worried.
It was said in ancient words, "A child's journey is full of worries. " The place Xiao Jian was going to go was more than a thousand miles.
However, Xiao Yuanshan knew very well that this remote and small Heavenly Cloud City could not contain Xiao Jian. In the future, he would have to face an even bigger, wider, and more colorful world, not limited to this tiny Heavenly Cloud City.
Xiao Yuanshan was immersed in worrying about his son's departure. At this moment, the sound of knocking could be heard from the tightly shut courtyard door for the first time. Someone knocked on the door.
Xiao Jian walked over with some doubt and opened the courtyard door. "Squeak!" The door opened and a small head popped in. It opened its big black eyes and sized Xiao Jian up. Xiao Jian did not react for a moment and was shocked by this sudden action. He subconsciously took a step back.
The owner of the small head was a 15-16 year old pure girl. Looking at the frightened Xiao Jian, the girl said apologetically to him, "Ah! I'm sorry, young master Xiao Jian! My name is Little Qing, and I am the patriarch's personal maid. The patriarch has something he wants to discuss with Young Master Xiao Jian in the reception room. " After saying that, A pair of big black eyes curiously looked at Xiao Jian. It was as if he wanted to see through all the young geniuses of the family who had recently become famous in the Heavenly Cloud City.
"Young master!" What a familiar and unfamiliar word! In Xiao Jian's memory, he couldn't even find a single word that had something to do with him or was addressed by someone else. But after being stunned for a moment, Xiao Jian let out a self-deprecating laugh, and then he felt relieved.
In short, it was just a sentence. If one wanted to obtain the respect of others, all of this was built on one's strength. Two words! Strength was the foundation of everything!
At this time, Xiao Yuanshan also recovered his senses and patted Xiao Jian's shoulder, "Jian, you go! Pay attention to the way you speak. When you treat the patriarch and elders, you must be more respectful. Don't let others think that you don't have rules. "
"Deacon Xiao, good!" Little Qing respectfully called out.
Xiao Yuanshan nodded in agreement.
Under Little Qing's lead, Xiao Jian headed towards the living room. Along the way, they passed through pavilions, small bridges, and flowing water. The Xiao family was worthy of being one of the three big families in Heavenly Cloud City. It occupied a large area and had been passed down for hundreds of years. All the buildings and structures were describing its ancient history.
Xiao Jian walked along the way, admiring the beautiful scenery along the road. The living room of Xiao family was located in the center of the courtyard. The courtyards of the disciples from the branch families had to pass through a few gardens, and the courtyards of the disciples from the branch families before they could arrive.
Normally, the disciples from the branch families were not allowed to enter and exit the courtyards of the direct disciples. Xiao Jian followed Little Qing along the way. After walking for about an hour, they arrived in front of a spacious hall. The entire hall was bright, spacious, and bright. On top of the tall doorframe, there were three bright golden words: "Room Room" was like a silver hook drawn with a brush, majestic and majestic. It showed the imposing manner of a big family.
At the door, two gray-clothed guards with sharp and sharp eyes stood upright like javelins. Little Qing reported at the door, and under the sharp gazes of the two grey-clothed guards, Xiao Jian walked towards the living room.
The moment he stepped into the bright living room, Xiao Jian suddenly felt an imposing aura assaulting him. It seemed that the higher ups of the family had given him a warning to not let him, who had just won the championship, get carried away at such a young age.
Xiao Jian circulated the Qi in his body and walked forward step by step. With every step he took, the pressure on his body increased by one point. Xiao Jian couldn't help but feel as if he was going to fall apart under the pressure. Xiao Feiloong and the others were also surprised by Xiao Jian's action, and they couldn't help but feel secretly shocked. This kid's determination was truly astonishing.
Just when Xiao Jian was about to lose his patience, suddenly, the heavy pressure dissipated like a strong wind. Xiao Jian, who was moving forward, couldn't help but stagger. Xiao Jian stabilized his body and bowed towards the tall platform, "Xiao Jian greets the patriarch and the elders!"
"Xiao Jian, you have come. En, you are not bad. To be able to remain calm at such a young age, it seems like you will be the champion of this year's family competition. It's not without reason. I hope you don't blame the family for treating you in the past. After all, a large family with a few hundred years of heritage. . . It's impossible for his set of rules to be so satisfactory. Besides, competition was also a way to maintain the prosperity of a clan. Only through competition can there be progress. "
"Patriarch, you flatter me! I won't take it to heart. " Xiao Jian replied neither servile nor overbearing.
"Xiao Jian! When you return later, pack up and bring your father out of your current courtyard. I have prepared a courtyard for you in the Eagle Hawk Courtyard. You and your father can move there!" Xiao Feiloong walked down from the high platform and said to Xiao Jian with a smile.
The courtyard of Xiao family was divided into four levels: the baby eagle, the baby eagle, the eagle, and the eagle.
"The' eagle 'was the best. Only the family of the patriarch and the elders were allowed to stay in the courtyard. The rest were the talented disciples of the family that were divided according to their strength. They had the right to live in the "Eagle Courtyard. " The other outstanding disciples lived in the "Eagle Courtyard. " The ordinary disciples could only live in the "Eagle Courtyard. "
In the past, Xiao Jian and his father lived in the "baby eagle courtyard," and they were given the rights because of their father's status as deacons. With Xiao Jian's strength, he could only be the one with the worst conditions.
Xiao Jian pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said neither servile nor overbearing, "Thank you for the kindness of the patriarch. However, father and I have already gotten used to staying in that courtyard. I don't want to go anywhere else. Patriarch, please allow us to continue living in that courtyard. "
" Hehe. . . Alright then! " Xiao Feiloong smiled awkwardly and thought, "Why didn't I find Xiao Jian before? Was he hiding something in the past? Or did he get some amazing adventure during this trip?" Xiao Feiloong was the same as most of the elders present. They had always thought that Xiao Jian had been hiding something in the past. Otherwise, how could he become so powerful all of a sudden?
Fourth Elder Xiao Yuanhe gave Xiao Jian a meaningful look. Only he "knew" what kind of strength Xiao Jian had in the past.
Xiao Jian was somewhat frightened by the stares of the elders and elders. He couldn't help but ask respectfully, "Patriarch, may I know why you called Xiao Jian here today?"
Xiao Feiloong said unhappily, "What is it? If there's nothing else, can't I call you over to chat with us old fellows?"
When Xiao Jian heard that, he immediately bowed and apologized, "Xiao Jian doesn't dare!"
"Hmph!" Xiao Feiloong couldn't help but snort, "Alright, I won't make things difficult for you anymore. " He immediately changed his expression and said with a smile, "This time, I called you here because I have something to ask you!"2
Xiao Jian could not help but feel ashamed. The chief's change of expression was so fast that it was even faster than the vast number of female compatriots! Looking at his smile again, it was like a wolf grandmother trying to cheat Little Red Riding Hood. It was a little vulgar. But even if he lent Xiao Jian a few more guts, he would definitely not dare to say these words out loud.
At this time, the Great Elder cleared his throat and said, "Xiao Jian, We just heard that before you went out, the young man from the Ye family seemed to have some conflict with you. Regarding this, he even sent that old man, Ke Mu. He was thick-skinned enough to deal with a junior like you, but. . . In the end, he also died in the outer perimeter of the Devil Beast Forest outside the Heavenly Cloud City. Otherwise, he wouldn't have the face to continue staying in the Heavenly Cloud City! Everyone turned their eyes to Xiao Jian at the same time, staring at him. Waiting for his reply.
Of course, Xiao Jian would not answer truthfully. He only told them that it was not important. Ye Hai and Ye Ming's assassination was also mentioned.
Hearing this, the elders were furious and slammed the table, shouting, What?" The young man from the Ye family was simply too lawless. He really thought that the Ye family was the overlord of the Heavenly Cloud City! What does he think the Xiao family is?"
In short, he had said a lot. In the end, after going around in a big circle, he finally got to the reason why Xiao Jian's strength had increased so quickly. The patriarch and several elders were waiting for Xiao Jian's answer with curious expressions on their faces.
Xiao Jian could only briefly describe the process of being chased by Ke Mu, and how he had used the terrain to escape. Finally, Ke Mu fell to the bottom of the cliff and luckily survived. He had obtained the relics of a senior expert. As for what it was and what the Pill Cauldron Ring was, he did not say a word. Even Ke Mu's death was not mentioned in a single word.
"Then, how did Ke Mu die? But you killed him?" Xiao Feiloong asked.
" No, if I could kill him, why would I fall off the cliff? "
That's right, Xiao Feiloong thought.
"That. . . That old senior you mentioned. . . Is there anything that you can't use right now? If you take it out, the family will definitely treat you well. They will definitely compensate you. " After saying that, Xiao Feiloong and the other elders couldn't help but look at Xiao Jian with hopeful expressions. The fervent look in his eyes made Xiao Jian's heart shiver.
Xiao Jian knew that these old foxes wouldn't give him any benefits. They wouldn't let this matter go just like that. He could only take out a bottle of ten Essence Qi Pills that he had prepared beforehand, a few high Huang rank martial skills and mental cultivation methods. Two Profound Rank Yuan Qi cultivation methods and two martial skills cultivation methods. One was a "Pure Yuan Art" with all kinds of attributes, while the other was a "Fire Yuan Art" that cultivated the fire attribute. Two martial skills. The other was a sword technique. "Flowing Cloud Sword" and the other was a sword skill "Broken Blade Saber Technique. "
Seeing the pill bottle and martial skill that Xiao Jian took out, the patriarch's face was like a blooming lotus flower. He was just a burly man, smiling like this. Xiao Jian really did not dare to flatter that respectful face of his, just like a laughing gorilla.
Xiao Feiloong carefully picked up the pill bottle, "Pop!" With a sound, he opened the bottle. A rich Pill fragrance filled the entire hall. The few elders could not help but be moved. Xiao Feiloong took a deep breath and slowly poured out one of the Xiao Feiloongs.
A round green Pill rolled out, "This! This is an Essence Qi Pill? This is an Essence Qi Pill?" When the elders heard Xiao Feiloong's words, they couldn't help but step forward and take the pill bottle from Xiao Feiloong to see what was going on. They saw that the two elders couldn't help but shout, "We are rich now!"
They might remember that there were still a few juniors present, and this would cause them to lose their status. They couldn't help but suppress the excitement in their hearts and put on the airs of an elder.
At this time, the Grand Elder had already finished flipping through a few martial techniques and heart sutras. He could not help but lose his voice as he said with a trembling voice: "This. . . These are all Profound Rank martial techniques and heart sutras. What kind of senior is this?! At the very least, he is at the Marshal realm. I didn't expect that our Xiao family would have such fortune! This is all thanks to Xiao Jian!"
" That's right! Xiao Jian, this child, I have always felt that he was extraordinary! He's been reading poetry since he was young, and he's a little genius. I told him that he would definitely rise up in the future!" The Fifth Elder echoed.
Xiao Jian once again felt ashamed when he heard Fifth Elder's words. It seemed like Fifth Elder had grown so much skin and flesh over the years.
Regarding this, the remaining few elders subconsciously distanced themselves from him, as if they were saying, "I don't know him!"
"Hehe! Xiao Jian, you have made such a great contribution to the family. What kind of reward do you want? Just say it. As long as it's something I can do, I will agree to it on behalf of the family!" The patriarch, Xiao Feiloong said anxiously.
"That's right. Xiao Jian, if you have any requests or requests, just tell us. We will agree to them! Do you have any girls you like? Tell me. I will pull down my old face and help you propose marriage. I promise I will help you do it!"
The Second Elder said with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jian didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He wished that he could turn around and flee immediately. "Thank you. Xiao Jian doesn't have any request for the Patriarch and the elders' favor. These are all things that the disciples of our family should do. After all, I am a part of the Xiao family. A member of a big family. "
The patriarch and the elders couldn't help but feel gratified by Xiao Jian's words. However, they couldn't let anyone feel the contribution of Xiao Jian to the family. After apologizing to too many juniors, they couldn't help but say in a clear voice, "Alright then! But. . . As long as you think of what you want. . . If you have any requests, you can tell me and the elders at any time. We will do our best to satisfy you! "
Xiao Jian nodded and bowed. He turned around and left the living room. He ran out as if he was running away, leaving behind a group of old foxes. They were discussing something in the living room.
