"So you …" Xiao Chen looked at Gong Shaoxi and thought to himself, no wonder when he was chatting with Xuan Zhaoxin outside, his tone was not polite. This guy was a typical celestial second generation!
Gong Shaoxi scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile, "Hehe, Immortal Master's guess is correct. Due to my father, my authority is not lower than theirs. Usually, I don't have to listen to their instructions."
Xiao Chen nodded his head and suddenly thought of another question. He asked, "That's strange. Since your father is the Grand Supreme Elder, then he should be the one in charge of the Burning Sky Faction. Why would he assign it to someone else?"
"Exalted Master, you may not know this, but my father was distracted during his training. He did not put his heart into it, so he accidentally went berserk. Although his life was saved, his cultivation level was greatly reduced due to his injuries. So, he is still recuperating in the faction. I estimate that it will take a few years for him to recover." Gong Shaoxi explained with a bitter face.
If his father did not go berserk and get injured, the Burning Sky Faction would not have become the second largest faction in Liuxian prefecture, and the Secluded Forest Sect would not have taken the lead.
"I see." Xiao Chen finally understood the ins and outs. He thought for a while and said, "If there's a chance, I'll visit your father! I'll also help him heal his injuries. It'll be your reward for being a servant in the Qin Family. However, the Burning Sky Faction will have to find your own way to treat the illness. I don't have any Spirit Crystals on me. "
Considering that he would have to leave the Qin Family sooner or later, Xiao Chen decided to pave a way out first. As long as the Burning Sky Faction became the backing of the Qin Family, he would be able to leave with peace of mind.
"Is … is that true? That's great! " Gong Shaoxi's eyes were filled with disbelief. He excitedly patted his chest and said, "Exalted Master, if you can cure my father, no matter how expensive the Heaven and Earth Treasures are, the Burning Sky Faction is willing to pay for them all. We will definitely not let you spend any more money! I thank you on behalf of my father! "
Xiao Chen originally wanted to ask further about Gong Shaoxi's father's condition, but the two of them had already walked to the living room, so he could only give up.
In the guest room, Xuan Zhaoxin and Qin Shengling were chatting, while a white-robed old man with white hair and a youthful complexion sat beside them. Judging from the seating arrangement of the three and the respect the two of them showed to him, this person was undoubtedly the Burning Sky Faction's Sect Master Duan.
Seeing Xiao Chen and Gong Shaoxi walk in, the three of them stopped chatting. Qin Shengling stood up and was about to introduce them, but the white-robed old man spoke first, "Hahaha! This handsome young man must be Shaoxi's master, right? "
Since the other party was so enthusiastic, Xiao Chen couldn't be too indifferent, so he nodded slightly and said lightly, "I'm Xiao Qiang, may I know who this is?"
Sect Master Duan looked at Xiao Chen calmly and secretly praised him for being a young hero. When he heard Xiao Chen's question, he also generously cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I'm Duan Suqing, the Burning Sky Faction's Sect Master. This morning, Vice Sect Master Xuan left without saying goodbye because he had an urgent matter to attend to. I hope Exalted Immortal Xiao won't be offended!"
"Oh, it's not a big deal." Xiao Chen smiled slightly and waved his hand, saying, "May I know why Sect Master Duan has come to the Qin Family this time? If you still want me to go to the Burning Sky Faction as a guest, then I can only apologize in advance because I can't leave the Qin Family for the time being. I'm afraid Sect Master Duan will be disappointed. "
In fact, Xiao Chen still had a good impression of the Burning Sky Faction, and Sect Master Duan Suqing's attitude was also very sincere. However, because of Xiao Chen's own concerns, he still politely refused before Duan Suqing could open his mouth to avoid causing embarrassment on both sides.
"Haha, that … Exalted Immortal Xiao is really a straightforward person!" Duan Suqing's old face turned slightly red. He didn't expect that before he had time to say his request, the other party had already opened his mouth to decline.
Hearing that Duan Suqing actually admitted it, Gong Shaoxi, who was standing to the side, was also a little surprised. He originally thought that after Xuan Zhaoxin flicked his sleeves and left, this matter would be over. He didn't expect that even Sect Master Duan would personally come to invite him now. It seemed that he also attached great importance to his master!
After being refused twice in a row, Xuan Zhaoxin's face was a little embarrassed. Duan Suqing's expression was as usual. He only hesitated a little, then continued to ask, "I wonder if it's convenient for me to know why Exalted Immortal Xiao is not willing to go to our Burning Sky Faction as a guest?"
"Sect Master Duan, since my master doesn't want to go, please don't ask for the reason." Gong Shaoxi panicked and hurriedly opened his mouth to stop him. Xuan Zhaoxin had just agreed to help treat his father's illness. If he was angry and refused to go just because of a few words from you, wouldn't that be a great loss?
"It doesn't matter. Since Sect Master Duan wants to know, there's no harm in a simple explanation." Xiao Chen didn't care and said what was in his heart, "It's like this. A few days ago, an old fellow from the Secluded Forest Sect came to the Qin Family to provoke them, and I crippled him. Because I didn't kill him directly, I let him go, so I'm worried that their sect will send more experts to seek revenge."
"So that's how it is!" Duan Suqing suddenly came to a realization. He felt slightly comforted and blurted out, "I thought Exalted Immortal Xiao was dissatisfied with our Burning Sky Faction! So it turns out that you're worried that the Secluded Forest Sect will seek revenge! "
"Sect Master Duan, you've misunderstood." Xiao Chen pointed at Gong Shaoxi and smiled faintly. "Although Gong Shaoxi is holding down the fort at the Qin Clan, he has just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. What if the enemy attacks after I leave? If Gong Shaoxi isn't strong enough and can't defeat them, won't he be causing trouble for the Qin Clan? So, about going to the Burning Sky Faction, let's talk about it later! "
"Exalted Immortal Xiao, you worry too much!" After understanding the inside story, Duan Suqing completely relaxed. He couldn't help but burst into laughter and said brightly, "You don't have to worry about this. The Secluded Forest Sect's strength is similar to our Burning Sky Faction. Ying Taiqi is already the most powerful person in their sect! Now that that old thing has been crippled by you, they won't have any ability to take revenge! "
"Oh? Is that true? " Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the Secluded Forest Sect to be so weak. They were too useless, weren't they? The most powerful person in the sect was only at the third level of the Original Infant Stage? If he had known this earlier, he would have gone straight to their door and wiped them out. He wouldn't have wasted so many days!
Seeing Xiao Chen's shocked expression, Duan Suqing stroked his white beard and said with a faint smile, "Moreover, the Secluded Forest Sect now thinks that the whole thing was planned by our Burning Sky Faction. So, if they want to take revenge, they will take revenge on us. They won't involve the Qin Family."
