Xia Fei began to repair the T-machine, and at the same time, the bodyguard from the Venus Evernight Clan, Shivatu, also began to report to his patriarch. This time, aside from Ye Zishui's daily life, there was also an unfamiliar name: Xia Fei.
"You said his surname is Xia? Which clan is he from? "Ye Yun asked curiously while stroking his beard.
Shivatu replied, "From what I know, this Xia Fei doesn't seem to be from any big clan."
The current patriarch of the Venus Evernight Clan, Ye Yun, chuckled and said, "That's interesting. He's not from a big clan, and I can't see any energy fluctuations from him, yet he was able to make a fugitive from the Sebastian Clan betray and kill his master.
"Forget it. No matter what, he's been treating Ye Zishui quite well. Just based on that, don't make things difficult for him."
Shivatu nodded and asked with furrowed brows, "What about the Leng family?"
Ye Yun said, "Since the Leng family's young masters are already dead, it's not good for us to pursue their responsibility. Let's just pretend this never happened. If they dare to do anything out of the ordinary, I'll personally settle the score with them!"
"From now on, aside from keeping a close eye on Ye Zishui, you have to investigate that young man called Xia Fei. I have a feeling that he might be very interesting."
For the next three days, Xia Fei did not appear in the Aurora Race's courtyard. Both Jing Xiao and Little Huai felt rather lonely. At the very least, Xia Fei was someone with a story, and it was rather interesting for the three of them to chat.
During this time, Xiao Beiwang even sent someone to look for Xia Fei twice, inviting him to his house for dinner. Seeing that Xia Fei was not around, he left a message for Xiao Huai to bring him over when Xia Fei returned.
On the evening of the fourth day, an inconspicuous speedboat quietly docked on Planet Jiadegu. Afterward, the people on the ship found a very ordinary hotel nearby to check in. Everything looked very ordinary, so no one paid attention to it.
Just after midnight, the Leng family's hall in the city suddenly lit up. From the outside, one could see the current patriarch of the Leng family, Leng Junshan, bowing to an old man. Meanwhile, the old man appeared very calm, unhurriedly picking up his teacup and taking a sip.
"Xiao Shan, there's no need to be so polite. Sit down and talk," the old man said lightly.
Leng Junshan was also a figure who had led the Leng Family for many years. He had a certain status in the Alpha Universe, but from the mouth of this old man, he was actually called a small mountain. It seemed that this old man's status was not low.
"Why?"
Leng Junshan smiled and sat on the lower seat. He said, "Ancestor, you're finally here."
Before he could finish, the old man suddenly interrupted Leng Junshan and sighed: "I was close friends with your father back then. It's very awkward for you to call me ancestor. Just call me Uncle Li according to seniority."
Leng Junshan grinned. The way he addressed him as Uncle Li was obviously more intimate, which meant that this lord was still very sentimental. There was an eighty to ninety percent chance that he would succeed this time!
Li Jindou lowered his voice and asked, "What's the situation now? Tell me."
Leng Junshan said, "Yes, Uncle Li. There are three major families on the Jadegu Planet where our Leng Family is located. Other than us, there's also the Xiao Family and the Ping Family. Among them, the Ping Family's strength is so-so. Whether it's fame, combat strength, or the number of soul tools they have, they are far above us. There's nothing to fear."
"But the Aurora Xiao Family's situation is very different. Although their family has been declining over the years, in terms of fame, we can't beat them no matter what. I'm sure they'll be a very difficult opponent in this evaluation."
Li Jindou nodded and said, "Yes, the Aurora Xiao Family isn't considered a first-rate family, but their reputation is really first-rate. There's no helping it, it's a reputation that has been fought for for generations. Even within the Chaos Society, there's no one who doesn't know about the Xiao Family. This evaluation's first major item is reputation. There's no need to compete, your Ping Family has already lost."
Leng Junshan sighed and said, "Reputation is something that can't be accumulated over two generations. Although I've been in charge of the Leng Family and have meticulously tried to improve my family's reputation, it still can't compare to the Aurora Xiao Family's tens of thousands of years of accumulation."
"However." Leng Junshan changed the topic and said, "Fortunately, reputation isn't the only criterion for this evaluation. There are also two main categories, combat power and soul tool. This is our chance. Since the Chaos Society has already decided to only give Gardner a second-rate quota, we can only win by defeating the Aurora Xiao Family. That's why I'm begging you to come here as soon as possible and launch a surprise attack."
Leng Junshan's words had already become clear. It turned out that the Leng Family had already received the news that only one family in the entire planet could enter the second-rate. The rest of the families would be ranked below the third-rate.
After all, this evaluation was different from the previous ones. The evaluation results would be linked to the soul tool. The number of soul tools was limited, so the Chaos Society could only secretly suppress those families that didn't have outstanding strength. Otherwise, how could there be enough soul tools for so many people?
The Leng Family, who had received the news early on, naturally saw the Aurora Xiao Family, whose reputation was much higher than theirs, as a thorn in their side. Those scoundrels living in the Leng Family's side courtyard and the fake soul tools that the Aurora Xiao Family bought were all caused by the Leng Family in the dark.
Li Jindou smiled. "I've brought the person here. As for whether you can succeed or not, it will still depend on your means. If you can't move the Aurora Xiao Family, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Leng Junshan hurriedly said, "Please don't worry. Although the Aurora Xiao Family's reputation is higher than ours, their combat power is equal to ours. It can be considered a tie. The last soul tool is the Aurora Xiao Family's weakness. I've received news that they have taken a large number of soul tools to the Celestial Treasure Shop to repair them in an attempt to reverse the unfavorable situation."
"The distance from the branch to the headquarters is very far. It will take at least a month for them to return. Now, the Aurora Xiao Family is very weak. Half of their soul tools have been sent to be repaired. They will definitely lose this round."
Li Jindou shook his head and said, "In the three major evaluations, the Aurora Xiao Family wins in terms of reputation, their combat power is a tie, and the soul … tools win. Based on this, the Leng Family and the Aurora Xiao Family are only on a tie. You still don't have the confidence to win."
Without batting an eyelid, Leng Junshan quietly handed a space ring to Li Jindou and said in a low voice, "That's why I've invited you here. I hope that you can help the Leng Family make a decision on this matter."
Li Jindou's fingers lightly brushed past the space ring. In order to obtain the second-class evaluation, the Leng Family had gone all out. The wealth in the ring was enough for an ordinary family to enjoy for generations. After checking Leng Junshan's gift, Li Jindou said with a smile, "Don't worry. As long as you can leave the Aurora Xiao Family far behind in terms of soul tools, the only second-class evaluation, the Gardner Bow, will definitely be yours."
Early morning.
The Chaos Society's branch in Gardner had just opened the door when three dignified elders walked in with a few of their subordinates.
"Call Liu Bao out. Tell him that the evaluation team from the headquarters has arrived. They want to inspect the grades of all the big families on Gardner Planet!" The arrogant subordinates shouted loudly. Meanwhile, the three elders sat on the sofa and chatted as if there was no one else around.
The people from the Gardner branch could tell that these fellows were not ordinary people. Therefore, they quickly informed their superiors and started discussing in private.
"Didn't they say that the evaluation would be held four months later? Why did they suddenly come? "
"I don't know. Perhaps some big shot from above came on a whim."
After a short while, Liu Bao, the head of the Gardner branch, arrived at the front hall. When he looked at the three of them, his eyeballs almost popped out. When his subordinates had passed the message to him, he had not believed it either. After all, the evaluation date had been set long ago. However, the three people before him were all big shots of the Inspectors!
In order to complete the evaluation of all the families under them as soon as possible, the Chaos Society had sent out a total of a hundred evaluation teams to travel to various parts of the universe. In addition, there were five major Inspectors to monitor whether the people under them were doing things according to the rules and whether they were practicing favoritism or committing fraud. It was an organization with great authority.
Li Jindou, Ding Qingrui, Tong Duoduo. Weren't these three the big shots of the Fourth Inspector Team?
Those who could enter the Inspectors Team were all famous figures in the Chaos Society. Therefore, even the small leader of the Gardner branch, Liu Bao, recognized these three people.
"Elder Li, Elder Ding, Miss Tong, why are you all here?!" Liu Bao immediately called out the names of these three and busied himself getting his subordinates to prepare.
Among the three, Ding Qingrui was the main evaluator, while Li Jindou and Tong Duoduo were his assistants.
Ding Qingrui waved his hand and said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. Hurry up and inform the families participating in the evaluation to come over. We still have other matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving tonight."
Liu Bao hurriedly agreed and invited the three of them to the inner court.
Although the Inspectors Team's main job was to supervise, no one said that they could not participate in the evaluation. They were busy with work, so the Inspectors Team taking the initiative to take on some of the evaluation work would not only prevent them from being gossiped about, but they would also be praised. In other words, it was a benevolent act of sharing the burden with their subordinates.
Very soon, the news reached the Xiao family. Patriarch Xiao He immediately gathered several pillars of the family for a meeting in his study. Everyone paled in fright when they heard that the Primal Chaos Society had suddenly launched an attack, especially Xia Fei's great-grandfather Xiao Beiwang. His heart was in his throat, about to jump out!
"It can't be! We just sent out half of the family's soul artifacts, and the Chaos Society is already here to evaluate us. What are we supposed to do?! "
"Soul artifacts are only one of the three major aspects of the evaluation, and it's also our family's weakness. For them to suddenly launch an attack at this time, could it be that someone is targeting our Aurora Race?"
Xiao He waved his hand and sternly said, "Don't panic. We can't lose the grace of the family at a time like this. When we get to the Chaos Society, I'll report this matter to the evaluators. They'll probably understand our difficulties."
Everyone was silent, all of them feeling nervous.
Back when the Aurora Race was at its peak, their grace had given them a great reputation. This was because the Aurora Race was strong enough that no one dared to play tricks in front of them.
Alas, times were different now. The Aurora Race was gradually declining, and more and more people were beginning to look at the Xiao family with cold eyes. If they tried to maintain their grace at this time, it was inevitable that they would suffer. The people of the family naturally understood this. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of years of ancestral teachings were not something that could be changed in a short period of time.
The patriarchs of the Leng, Ping, Xiao, and Gardner Clans were gathered in the Chaos Society. The Leng family was led by Leng Junshan, the Xiao family was led by Xiao He, and the Ping family was led by their patriarch, Ping Xiaowu.
The three patriarchs were waiting in the outer hall. Xiao He was very graceful, looking straight ahead, neither servile nor overbearing. The Ping family had always been weak, and he knew that he was no match for the Xiao and Leng families, so Ping Xiaowu was very calm.
Only Leng Junshan could not help but stare at Xiao He, getting happier the more he looked.
'A graceful family of gentlemen. I'd like to see how long the Xiao family can maintain their grace for!' Leng Junshan hatefully thought to himself.
