"Please sit!" In an elegant room, Shangguan Xiaoxiao said to Ye Guhsing politely.
The room was not big, only about twenty square meters. However, the furnishings were elegant. A square table was covered with more than ten delicious dishes and even a jug of wine that exuded a strong fragrance.
"Thank you!" If others were to be courteous to him, Ye Guhsing would naturally return the favor.
"Brother Ye, before I introduce the family, can I confirm with you again that you really won't come from any large sect for training?" After pouring a cup of wine into Ye Guhsing's cup, Shangguan Xiaoxiao asked with a serious expression.
"What is it? What else is there to say? " Ye Guhsing asked.
But if Brother Ye is really a disciple from a large sect, then I will not dare to have any thoughts towards Brother Ye, in case my family or the sect behind Brother Ye might misunderstand. After all, there are clear rules in the Five Elements Continent that disciples of sects are not allowed to join any clans, and disciples of families are not allowed to join any sects either. " Shangguan Xiaoxiao explained.
"Oh, I see!" Ye Guhsing nodded to himself, as for the way Five Elements Continent, Ye Guhsing still understood it, and it was the same for Mystic Moon Continent.
"Miss Shangguan, don't worry about this. I have always been a loner. Before I came to the Tree Sea City, I have always been hunting for a living and have never joined any sects." Ye Guhsing shook his head and said.
"Alright, since that's the case, Brother Ye, little sister will once again formally invite you to join my Shangguan Clan. As long as you have talent, our clan will provide you with all sorts of cultivation resources. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have the qualifications to enjoy these cultivation resources. " Shangguan Xiaoxiao said.
"Hold on, Miss Shangguan. Before that, I want to hear your introduction to your esteemed family. After all, before coming to the Tree Sea City, I have never left the village, so I don't have a proper understanding of the current form of the empire. So please make a brief introduction, the more details the better." Ye Guhsing waved his hand and said.
Brother Ye, aren't you afraid that I will exaggerate the strength of my family?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao changed from her original appearance of an obedient, young lady who had not yet entered the mortal world, and asked Ye Guhsing with a smile that was not a smile.
"Don't be afraid, even if there were any discrepancies, you wouldn't be able to make it up so much. Otherwise, as long as I go out and ask around, won't your fabrication be exposed? " Ye Guhsing said with a similar smile.
"Alright, Brother Ye is indeed a straightforward person. Let me introduce to you my family. My Shangguan Clan is one of the seven great powers outside the empire's royal family.
Including Canghai Sect, Scorching Sun Sect, Cold Ice Sect, the capital's Meng Family, the Zhang Family of Dongyun, and the Shangguan Family of staying in the ocean. These seven sects are the Fire Empire's top seven in strength. Although my Shangguan Family isn't strong enough to suppress the other six families' first place rankings, I'm definitely not boasting about myself being in the top three. It has already been six hundred years since my Shangguan Clan was established, and I have experienced three generations of dynasties as well as two Black-winged Devil disasters in between. I can still stand tall on the Five Elements Road to this day, and I believe that Brother Ye can already see the great strength of my Shangguan Family from this point. " Shangguan Xiaoxiao introduced, and at the end, her face couldn't help but reveal a proud expression.
"Black-winged Devil disaster?" Since this Shangguan Clan had experienced two Black-winged Devil disasters, by right, there should be quite a few records regarding Black-winged Devil within the clan. If he were to join this clan, it would be unknown if he could look through these records.
If he had these things, he might be able to find the whereabouts of the Demonic Subordinate. Even if they couldn't find it, they could at least find some clues.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Miss Shangguan, your family is so big, so you must provide quite a number of cultivation resources. I want to know what price I have to pay for obtaining these cultivation resources." Ye Guhsing asked.
"Pay your loyalty, treat yourself as a member of the clan and be able to stand up in the face of danger. Of course, loyalty is not something you should talk about, even if what you say is true, no one will believe you. So when you join the clan, you need to make a contract of loyalty. Once you betray this contract, you will definitely be hunted down by all the warriors in the Five Elements Continent. " Shangguan Xiaoxiao replied.
"Well, that makes sense. This is fair to both sides. " Ye Guhsing smiled and nodded. It seemed that he was not disgusted with the so-called contract.
"Brother Ye, is there anything else you need to ask?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao asked again.
"Yes." Ye Guhsing nodded his head, and then asked casually: "Miss Shangguan, I heard from you that your clan had experienced two Black-winged Devil disasters before. I wanted to ask you, does your clan have records on these two Black-winged Devil disasters? Honestly speaking, the Fire Empire is currently talking about Black-winged Devil the most, as a human, I need to have a detailed understanding of these Black-winged Devil, if I were to meet them in the future, I would be able to mentally prepare myself."
"Yes, our family headquarters has collected a large amount of ancient records related to Black-winged Devil. However, these were all exchanged with our Shangguan Family's ancestor's blood, so they are extremely precious. Therefore, if you want to read these books, you must pay a certain amount of contribution points. " Shangguan Xiaoxiao replied.
"Contribution points?" What do you mean, contribution points? " Ye Guhsing continued to ask.
"Completing the clan's mission, or perhaps killing a certain amount of Black-winged Devil and bringing back their fangs. A pair of fangs with the lowest level of Black-winged Devil is worth ten contribution points to the Huang Family. " Shangguan Xiaoxiao explained.
I'm sorry about your invitation, but I can't agree to it immediately. But don't worry, before noon tomorrow, I will definitely give you a definite answer, and that's right, before that, you will need to leave behind an address for me. Once I agree to join your Shangguan Clan, I will have to find you. After finishing the cup of wine on the table, Ye Guhsing stood up and clapped his hands.
"Can't you give me an answer now?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao said in confusion, she had already explained it so clearly, and she was not exaggerating at all, and the other party seemed to be satisfied, why would she still need another day to consider it? If it were him, she would have agreed to it immediately.
"You can't. Although you have introduced your own family in some detail, these things came from your mouth after all. I need to learn about Shangguan Clan from outsiders." Ye Guhsing said with a smile.
Brother Ye, there's no harm in doing this. How about this, I will leave two addresses for you. One is the Warrior Hall, the other is the City Lord's Mansion. If you come to Warrior Hall tomorrow, I won't be around, so you can go to the City Lord's Mansion and find me there. Just state my name, I'll be fine. " Shangguan Xiaoxiao said with some regret.
Perhaps it was because it was her first time participating in such negotiations, but this little girl was too impatient.
"No problem!" Ye Guhsing smiled and nodded. Then, he left the Warrior Hall.

"Sixth Uncle, Sixth Uncle!" Not long after Ye Guhsing left the Warrior Hall, Shangguan Xiaoxiao ran anxiously to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Xiaoxiao girl, what are you in such a rush for, running so fast that you're out of breath, if your father knew about this he would scold you again." Hearing Shangguan Xiaoxiao's loud shout, a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his forties walked out from the corridor behind the City Lord's Mansion's Main Hall.
Sixth Uncle, Sixth Uncle, today I found a good seedling in Warrior Hall, I have already sent him an invitation, but he did not immediately agree, and it will take a day's time. Sixth Uncle, help me analyze whether this guy will accept my invitation to join our clan, after all, this is the first good seedling I met. Shangguan Xiaoxiao hugged onto the middle aged man's arm and shook it hard.
"Alright, alright. Little girl, stop shaking. If you keep shaking, your Sixth Uncle will faint." The middle-aged man looked dotingly at Shangguan Xiaoxiao and said.
"Tell me, what kind of person could cause you to be so worried about gains and losses?" Waiting until Shangguan Xiaoxiao calmed down, the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Second Uncle, this person is very strange, his strength is obviously not bad, just by relying on killing intent he was able to suppress Shi Shan completely, but he chose to take the 1-star warrior exam for this kind of strength. What's even weirder, when I was introducing our Shangguan Clan, he was actually interested in whatever cultivation resources we get, instead, he was very interested in the information regarding Black-winged Devil that our family was collecting. It's not strange at all. " Shangguan Xiaoxiao chattered like she was shooting a machine gun as she spoke to the middle-aged man.
Hearing Shangguan Xiaoxiao's words, the middle aged man had a faint smile on her face, but after hearing what Shangguan Xiaoxiao said, the middle aged man's expression changed, and he also felt that it was strange. What kind of person was so interested in Black-winged Devil?
"Xiaoxiao, what is this person's name, have you investigated his background?" The middle-aged man asked with a serious expression.
"He's not in a rush yet, but there's a record of his identity at the assessment site. I'll go get it now." Shangguan Xiaoxiao shook her head and said. After she finished speaking, she prepared to return to Warrior Hall to retrieve Ye Guhsing's information.
"There's no need to go. I told you everything that I know about Warrior Hall." The middle-aged man waved his hands as he called out to the door, "Uncle Yan, come in for a moment."
"It's here, old master!" An elderly voice came from the door, followed by an old man in his sixties. His hair was white, but his eyes were bright and full of life.
"Grandpa Yan!" Seeing the old man, Shangguan Xiaoxiao immediately greeted him.
"Third Miss is here as well." The old man smiled dotingly at Shangguan Xiaoxiao as well.
"Old master, do you have any instructions?"
"Uncle Yan, help me investigate a person. The more careful, the better." The middle-aged man said.
"Yes, old master. What is this person called? Do you have any basic information on him?" The old man nodded.
"Xiaoxiao, accompany your Grandfather Yan to the Warrior Hall to gather information." The middle-aged man said to Shangguan Xiaoxiao who was beside him.
"En!" Shangguan Xiaoxiao nodded, then pulled the elder along and quickly left the City Lord's Mansion's Main Hall.
"Ye Guhsing, I hope that you are not sent by other powers to cause trouble. Otherwise, even if the Black-winged Devil calamity is approaching, this City Lord will still kill you under his blade." Looking at Shangguan Xiaoxiao's and the old man's backs, the middle aged man's eyes flashed with a cold light and spoke to himself.
