Yang Chen pretended to be complacent as if it wasn't a big deal, which suited Xiao Qiufeng's cockiness. Laughing, he patted Xiao Yangxu's shoulder, "We're brothers, why would I blame you, Brother Yangxu?"
Everyone on the ground felt a chill. They didn't think that "Xiao Qiufeng" could really defeat Xiao Yangxu. Not to mention that Xiao Yangxu had suppressed his cultivation, he had been suppressing his opponent. It was just that ten moves were too short and Xiao Yangxu had underestimated his opponent.
"Second Uncle, how was it? My Qiufeng didn't let you down, right?" Sorrowless asked loudly with confidence.
Xiao Mengyue said in a low voice, "He's a little clever, but his cultivation is still too low. If he doesn't make great progress in the future, I'll still ask my brother for an explanation."
"Of course, when we go back, I'll definitely ask this little bastard to practice hard!" Sorrowless said.
The matter of removing the eldest grandson from the family seemed to have been temporarily suppressed. Although there was a turbulent undercurrent, Xiao Mengyue wouldn't say anything in the short term.
After all, he still had to maintain the stability and harmony of the family. Xiao Mengyue then invited Sorrowless and the others into the inner hall to entertain them with a banquet.
Sorrowless and the others also followed into the hall and drank to their heart's content. The atmosphere just now was not the slightest bit tense.
After the banquet, everyone began to talk about a lot of topics.
Yang Chen didn't have the intention to interrupt. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make. He drank the wine in boredom. This wine was really boring. It seemed to be brewed with some spiritual fruits from the illusion. Although it had the effect of replenishing energy, Yang Chen felt that it was meaningless with the density of spiritual energy in the illusion.
All of a sudden, Xiao Mengyue's words made Yang Chen tense up.
"… Mohui, I heard that the Luo family has captured Hsiao Chih-ching. Is it true?"
Yang Cheng immediately concentrated. He didn't expect to hear news about Hsiao Chih-ching.
Sorrowless Mohui paused and glanced at the calm Sorrowless Mozheng with a mocking look, saying, "That's the news, it's true. I don't know how he found out about that slut's whereabouts, but Luo Qianqiu sent Luo Hang out to capture her. "
"That's good. The Luo Clan has been using this marriage as an excuse to harass our Xiao Clan. Twice, when they met our disciples in the Flying Snow Mountain Range, they fought over this matter. They said that our Xiao Clan is untrustworthy and took the betrothal gifts for free, causing our disciples to not dare to act rashly. They've gone too far!" Xiao Mengyue snorted coldly.
"Sigh … Second Great Uncle, I didn't expect this bitch to have such guts." Sorrowless looked at Sorrowless Zheng and said, "Second brother, you didn't teach your daughter well.
Although she was born from a wild woman in the secular world, she still has the blood of the Xiao Clan flowing in her veins. If all the children were as unreasonable as her and dared to disobey the orders of the clan, wouldn't our Xiao Clan be in a mess? "
Sorrowless raised his head and didn't show any anger. Instead, he nodded humbly and said with a smile, "Elder Brother is right. It's a pity that the evil girl is no longer at home. Otherwise, I'd definitely teach her a lesson!"
"Hmph, because of her, we've lost count of how many times we've been humiliated in front of the Luo Clan. The Luo Clan has always been stronger than us, and we've even suffered a loss in reasoning. Do you know how angry father was because of this? If it wasn't for me, your elder brother, who helped you suppress it, you'd have been grounded long ago! "
Sorrowless seemed to vent his anger on Sorrowless Mozheng because of what had just happened.
Sorrowless Mozheng didn't refute and kept nodding.
In the end, Sorrowless Mozheng was satisfied and didn't forget to put on an act of self-blame and said, "It's also because I trusted your brother too much. I thought that you would be able to do your daughter's job well, so I suggested to father to let her marry Luo Hang of the Luo Clan.
But I didn't expect that although she looks soft and weak, she has the wild nature of a common woman. I'm afraid she took after her mother. "
Xiao Mengyue interrupted at this time, "Mozheng, don't blame Mozheng. Although the evil girl Hsiao Chih-ching has brought a lot of trouble to our Xiao Clan, her Nine Yin Meridians have helped us test no less than a hundred kinds of poisonous pills. We didn't raise her for nothing. "
"Second Uncle is right. It's a pity that she'll have to be used by the Luo Clan in the future. Now that I think about it, it's really a loss to give such a high quality medicine testing tool to the Luo Clan. We should've asked for more betrothal gifts from the Luo Clan." Sorrowless Mozheng said regretfully.
"Haha, Uncle, you're bullying the Luo Clan too much. That bitch Hsiao Chih-ching, although useful for medicine testing, her Nine Yin Meridians are getting deeper and deeper. She won't be able to live for many years.
Rather than letting her die in the family for a few years, it's better to give her to the Luo family while she's still alive. She can be exchanged for a batch of magic weapons and panaceas, which would be more profitable for us. This is a good deal that Sir has instigated. "An elder flattered.
Sorrowless Mozheng was very happy and repeatedly waved his hand to express that he was flattered, but he didn't hide his pride.
When Yang Cheng heard these words, he almost smashed the table in front of him with his hand. He tried hard to restrain himself.
So this was the Xiao Clan's plan. No wonder they were willing to give Hsiao Chih-ching to the Luo Clan.
Indeed, if he hadn't met him, Hsiao Chih-ching would have been poisoned abroad and would have died …
When he thought about how Sorrowless Mozheng and the others had planned all of this, and how Sorrowless Mozheng, his biological father, had turned a blind eye to it and even wanted to "teach" Hsiao Chih-ching a lesson … Yang Cheng felt a surge of anger. He wanted to kill all the Xiao Clan's disciples at the scene!
However, his rationality made him endure it. There was still a long way to go. Once he rescued the woman, he would let them have a taste of what it was like to not be treated as a human.
After leaving Second Granduncle's clan, he finally completed the inspection of the collateral families and returned to the Xiao Clan.
Sorrowless Mozheng continued to lead people to scout for elixirs and didn't go with them.
As soon as he returned home, Yang Cheng was called to his room by Sorrowless Mozheng.
Sorrowless Mozheng seemed to have a heavy heart and his expression was very ugly.
"Qiu Feng, I don't know how you cultivate, but I'm very pleased to see your progress today. However, your speed is still too slow. You must work much harder in the future. At least, you must reach the final phase of the Divine Fire realm before the Martial Arts Competition of the Three Clans next year. Do you understand? "
Yang Cheng thought to himself, "As you wish. I'm going to leave here soon anyway." So, he obediently nodded.
Sorrowless Mozheng's face was gloomy. "Your Second Uncle finally couldn't stand it anymore. I didn't expect that he would collude with Second Granduncle, that old fox … Hmph, it's a pity that your grandfather has been on guard against him. He thinks that we don't know about their sneaky business."
Hearing this, Yang Cheng pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Father, did they do something before?"
Sorrowless Mozheng looked at him with satisfaction and sighed. "I originally thought that you only knew how to play with those women. Today, I see that you are not ignorant and incompetent. You know how to endure. You are finally mature. There is no harm in telling you.
Actually, your Second Uncle has been in contact with Second Granduncle in private. He often sends some spiritual materials to their clan and secretly refines elixirs. Your grandfather just turns a blind eye to these things. He doesn't want to make the contradiction clear.
It's just that we don't know how they colluded. Moreover, there are many talented disciples in Second Granduncle's clan. If we rashly punish them, I'm afraid that it will affect the clan's strength. "
Yang Cheng thought that Xiao Mengyu could really endure. His own son betrayed him, but he could still watch in the dark without stopping him.
"Father, isn't this helping their strength? What if they attack us? "Yang Cheng pretended to be afraid.
"Hmph! What are you afraid of! "Sorrowless Mozheng sneered." No matter how powerful Xiao Mengyue is, he is not as good as your grandfather. Your grandfather has already reached the middle phase of the Weak Water Realm and may enter the late phase of the Weak Water Realm at any time. That's why he has been in seclusion recently to seek a breakthrough.
What's more, we have the support of Xu Shaogong of the Xu family. With the Xu family on our side, the other collateral relatives will also act according to our mood.
When you are fifty years old, even if you are in the Samadhi True Fire stage, you may still be able to stand firm. Moreover, you still have me. They can't stop me from inheriting the clan! "
Yang Cheng thought that the Xu family should stand on Sorrowless Mozheng's side. Xu Yanan was the second wife. Could it be that … there was something hidden?
Thinking of the affair between Xiao Manyan and Xiao Qiufeng, Yang Cheng suddenly thought of something. He secretly muttered in his heart, "This family is really messy …"
When he came out of Sorrowless Mozheng's room, Yang Cheng thought for a moment and went straight to where the Zhao siblings were.
It wasn't that he wanted to "say goodbye" to them. Instead, he thought that if he left, they might not be able to get the high-grade elixir. So, he might as well use Xiao Qiufeng's identity to give them one.
In the past half a month, Zhao Muyang and Zhao Ting had been shocked and worried about Xiao Chen's disappearance. Lan Fei had also looked for them twice, but they didn't understand why a living person had disappeared.
After Lan Fei and Zhao Muyang sparred, they became good friends. Both of them had good characters and it was easy to find a bosom friend.
When Yang Cheng arrived at the Zhao siblings' residence, he just happened to see Lan Fei and Zhao Muyang sparring. They were fighting back and forth. Of course, Zhao Muyang had suppressed his cultivation.
When they saw "Xiao Qiufeng," the three of them immediately came to greet him. They were a little nervous, feeling that it was definitely not something good.
Yang Cheng didn't waste any time and prepared two sets of elixirs. There was one high-grade elixir, three middle-grade elixir, and more than ten low-grade elixir each. They were all parting gifts for these friends he had met by chance.
When he gave these elixirs, which were nothing to Yang Cheng, to the three of them, Lan Fei and the Zhao siblings were scared silly.
