They saw Xu Que off. Then, the hostel became quiet again!
The atmosphere was quite weird. Those young men and women didn't dare to say anything. They just stood aside quietly!
Lan Hetu lowered his head bitterly for he was a bit guilty. If he knew Xu Que was so cruel, he would have tried to stop him.
But the situation was too sudden. Wu Shifeng was much more powerful than before. But he was still killed by Xu Que. At last, he had to bury Wu Shifeng's body. So, he was quite helpless!
"Hetu!" At this time, Lan Xinyue, who had been silent for a long time, said calmly at last, "From now on, I don't want you to call anyone else brother-in-law!"
"Ah?" Lan Hetu was dumbfounded. It seemed the situation was more serious than he had imagined.
Lan Xinyue shook her head slightly and said in a low voice, "I know Xu Daoyou is a good man. But … some of his habits are too extreme and cruel. He is totally different from us. Undeniably, his way of doing things is the most suitable for this world. But if we are too close to him, we will be in danger and become his burden!"
Lan Xinyue said what was in her mind seriously.
Her words woke up Lan Hetu and the rest of the people. They only saw the power of Xu Que, but they ignored the danger behind him.
In retrospect, since Xu Que's arrival, although they had received protection and benefits, their lives hadn't been as peaceful as before. Their lives had been greatly changed because of Xu Que. Just like now, they had become the target of the Heaven Alliance without knowing it.
"I don't mean you should stay away from him. But if we can leave this place and return to the Xuanhuang Continent, you can go back to the Lihuo Academy to practice your cultivation. If Xu Daoyou is in trouble, we will help him. But we shouldn't follow him anymore!" Lan Xinyue said again.
According to her personality, she was indeed not suited for such an "exciting" life. Making enemies everywhere was not her original intention.
For example, before Xu Que showed up, although her life was difficult, she had never changed her mind. Even when Lan Hetu was about to die, she had never considered following the female cultivators on the street or the Young Master of the Sword Pavilion.
This kind of steadfast and aloof personality was probably the reason why she was able to become an artist!
"Sister, I understand what you mean. Don't worry!" Lan Hetu nodded his head at last. His character was almost the opposite of Lan Xinyue's. He was restless and wanted to explore the world. However, Lan Xinyue's words reminded him that he was far from qualified to do whatever he wanted like Xu Que in terms of strength and aptitude.
If he continued to follow Xu Que in the future, he felt that his life would be very short!
Of course, this wasn't a display of cowardice, it was just that he knew his limits!
…
At the same time, in the courtyard of the Generosity Sect.
At this moment, the courtyard was brightly lit and bustling.
A huge round table, which was covered by a red cloth, was placed in the courtyard. A red carpet was spread from the gate to the table.
More than 100 cultivators at the Human Celestial Stage of the Generosity Sect were standing on both sides of the red carpet with their hands behind their back. They were waiting for Xu Que's arrival with the highest etiquette.
This was the treatment that a powerhouse deserved. After witnessing or hearing about Xu Que's deeds, all of them were willing to welcome Xu Que with this kind of ceremony.
At this moment, Lin Baiwan, the leader of the Generosity Sect, and several backbone members were sitting at the table, waiting for Xu Que.
None of the dishes were served on the table. They could only drink tea and chat leisurely.
Wang Qiannian, who was standing behind Lin Baiwan, was quite anxious and sweating profusely!
He had waited for almost four hours, but Xu Que didn't show up. He was afraid that Xu Que would stand him up. In that case, he would be accused of incompetence and would be punished severely.
"Wang Qiannian, are you sure he said he would come tonight?" At this time, a crisp voice, which was full of dissatisfaction, came in.
Wang Qiannian said as he looked at the lady beside Lin Baiwan with a smile, "My lady, he did say he would come. But … I didn't know what time he would come. After all …"
Boom!
Before he finished his words, an explosion came in from the street outside the courtyard.
Wang Qiannian's eyes lit up immediately, "Here he comes!"
The sound of the Wind, Fire, and Thunderstorm was unique. Many people had heard it outside the Sword Pavilion. At this moment, they recognized it was Xu Que's Firestorm Wheels.
"Come on, welcome our distinguished guest!" Lin Baiwan stood up and ordered the rest of the cultivators to welcome Xu Que.
As a powerhouse at the Earth Celestial Stage and the leader of a big sect, he had never been so polite to a cultivator at the Half Celestial Stage!
To be honest, Lin Baiwan didn't care about these trivial matters. Besides Xu Que's strength, he also wanted to know more secrets about Xu Que. For example, he wanted to know how Xu Que could obtain more than 10,000 grains of Vital Rice in half a day!
Boom!
At last, the figure who was standing on the Firestorm Wheels appeared in the sky and landed outside the courtyard.
Over 100 cultivators of the Generosity Sect shouted at the same time, "Welcome, Xu Daoyou!"
Xu Que, who had just put away the Firestorm Wheels, was shocked by this scene!
So many people were standing in two rows with a red carpet in the middle. They were shouting "Welcome, Xu Daoyou"! Why does it look like a harmonious place?
"OK! OK! Don't shout so loudly!" Xu Que waved his hand to stop them from shouting. After all, "Welcome, Xu Daoyou" sounded like "Welcome, boss" to him, which was quite dirty!
"Hah-hah, Xu Daoyou is really a young hero! You are really a talented man!"
Lin Baiwan laughed heartily as he walked forward to greet Xu Que.
According to his seniority and cultivation stage, it was reasonable for him to call Xu Que my young friend. However, he called Xu Que Xu Daoyou, which meant he considered Xu Que as his peer and respected Xu Que.
"President Lin, you are also quite good! You are so handsome, eh …" Xu Que replied politely. However, he didn't know what to say when he saw Lin Baiwan's chubby face.
Lin Baiwan didn't care about it at all. He smiled at Xu Que and sat down with him.
After that, the servants of the Generosity Sect started to serve all kinds of delicious dishes. At the table, several key members of the Generosity Sect were accompanying Xu Que with smiles. Only Lin Baiwan and Xu Que were exchanging pleasantries.
"Oh, by the way, President Lin, I forgot to tell Xiao Wang that my consultation fee is 2,000 grains of Vital Rice per hour. Actually, we will charge you a little extra for the night service and the out-of-town fee, which is the house call fee!"
Suddenly, Xu Que said with a smile as he recalled something.
Lin Baiwan and the rest of the people were stunned, including Wang Qiannian, who couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
The night service fee? The out-of-town fee?
Damn! This guy really doesn't let go of any chance to cheat people!
