However, compared to the excitement of the crowd, Li Xiaohan had a complicated expression on her face. She stared at her grandfather, who was standing in the sky. Not only did she not show any joy or excitement, she seemed to be in pain.
"Xiaohan, what's wrong?" Li Xiao Han's current change was naturally recorded by Xing Jue. Immediately, he hurriedly walked to Li Xiao Han's side and asked with concern.
"Brother Xing Jue, I'm fine." Li Xiaohan forced a smile when she heard Xing Jue's question. She looked like she was afraid that Xing Jue would worry about her.
However, it was precisely this kind of smile that made Xing Jue feel uneasy. Immediately after, he turned his gaze towards the Supreme Elder in the sky.
At this moment, Xing Jue could feel the relationship between Li Xiaohan and the Supreme Elder. It seemed like it was not as simple as the crowd thought. Perhaps there was a story that no one knew about.
"Descendants of the Nangong Family, the four great powers of the Eastern Continent have been in an alliance for hundreds of years."
"Today, you have come to my Yufeng Pavilion. Are you trying to break the agreement made by the ancestors of the four great powers?"
At this moment, the Supreme Elder suddenly shouted at the experts of the Nangong Family. His voice was loud and clear, like thunder in the clear sky, it exploded in the ears of the Nangong Family's disciples.
The powerful pressure even caused some of the weaker disciples of the Nangong Family to faint.
"Senior Li, it is not that the Nangong Family wants to break the agreement. There is a reason..."
At this moment, the experts of the Nangong Family walked out from the deep pit. Although they were seriously injured and there were traces of blood on the corners of their mouths, it was obvious that the Supreme Elder did not intend to take their lives.
However, it was clear that the Supreme Elder did not intend to take their lives when he made his move earlier. Otherwise, they would definitely not be standing here right now. Instead, they would have turned into nine ice-cold corpses.
This was the terror of a Battle-Emperor. Killing a Battle-King was as easy as stepping on an ant.
"I don't want to listen to your pompous excuses."
"However, it is an indisputable fact that you attacked my Yufeng Pavilion today."
"As the Supreme Elder of Yufeng Pavilion, I should have killed all of you."
"However, on account of our agreement, I don't want to make things difficult for you today. Quickly leave and I'll forget about today's matter."
Just when the Palace Head of the NanGong Family wanted to explain something, the Supreme Elder waved his hand impatiently.
After hearing the Supreme Elder's words, the Palace Master of the NanGong Family was overjoyed. Without hesitation, he immediately ordered his disciples to retreat.
Now that the Great Elder had reached the War Emperor level, it was an indisputable fact. The fact that the Great Elder was willing to let them live was already beyond his expectations, so he naturally did not dare to go against the Great Elder.
"Puchi!"
But at this moment, the elder who wanted to attack Xing Jue and Li Xiao Han suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. His face turned as pale as a sheet of paper, and his body trembled for a moment before he stopped breathing.
"Sigh …"
Seeing this, the Palace Head of the NanGong Family helplessly shook his head. Li Xiao Han was the Great Elder's granddaughter, and that elder actually wanted to kill her. Now that he had ended up like this, he could only blame himself.
After that, the disciples of the NanGong Family were quickly arranged by the elders to sit on the Swift Eagle Beasts. Compared to when they first arrived, they were much more dispirited, and the arrogant aura they had before was nowhere to be seen.
Originally, they wanted to attack Yufeng Pavilion to strengthen the NanGong Family's position as the strongest power in the Eastern Continent. However, who would have thought that a War Emperor would appear in Yufeng Pavilion, and they could only leave with their sorry figures.
"Hey, I say, old man, why did you let them go?" Right at this time, Xiaolong flew to the side of the Grand Elder and shouted angrily.
"Hehe, this junior greets Lord Lian Tian."
When the Supreme Elder saw the little dragon, he smiled faintly and bowed respectfully to the little dragon.
Actually, when the Pavilion Master sent the message to the Great Elder, he had already told him about Xiao Long, and that was why he knew Xiao Long's identity.
"You still haven't answered my question." Seeing this, Xiao Long grinned and asked impatiently.
"In reply to Lord Lian Tian, the NanGong Family is not as simple as it seems."
"If I really kill all of them here today, I'm afraid that Yufeng Pavilion will not have peace in the future." Seeing that Xiao Long continued to ask, the Great Elder explained with a smile.
"Oh?" After hearing the Great Elder's words, Xiao Long was taken aback, but he did not pursue the matter.
Even though Xiao Long was a hot-tempered person, he was actually very intelligent. Therefore, he understood the meaning behind the Great Elder's words.
If the Yufeng Pavilion had an existence like the Great Elder, then the NanGong Family, as the number one power in the Eastern Continent, must have some terrifying existences. However, they were the kind of old fellows who would not show themselves until the end of the Eastern Continent.
After the NanGong Family left, the disciples of Yufeng Pavilion, under the leadership of the Great Elder, sent the injured disciples back to the pavilion for treatment.
After the mess was cleaned up, it was already late at night. However, at this moment, no one in Yufeng Pavilion was asleep. Everyone was gathered at the plaza to celebrate their victory.
At this moment, the Yufeng Pavilion was filled with jubilation, and the atmosphere of joy filled the entire Yufeng Pavilion. After all, they had defeated the number one power in the Eastern Continent, the NanGong Family. After being oppressed by the NanGong Family, how could they not be happy?
However, compared to the joy of the crowd, Li Xiaohan seemed to be preoccupied. She leaned on the railing of the pavilion and looked up at the stars in the sky. At this moment, Xing Jue was quietly accompanying her, looking at her complicated expression.
Even though Xing Jue had already guessed that something unpleasant must have happened between Li Xiaohan and his grandfather, as long as Li Xiaohan did not say anything, Xing Jue would not ask too much.
"Brother Xing Jue." At this moment, Li Xiaohan slowly turned around and looked at Xing Jue with a smile.
"What's wrong, Xiaohan?" Seeing this, Xing Jue hurriedly asked.
"Actually, today is the first time I see my grandfather." After a moment of silence, Li Xiaohan looked at Xing Jue and said with a fake smile.
"What? First time? " After hearing Li Xiaohan's words, Xing Jue was stunned. The calm expression on his face was instantly replaced by surprise.
Although he had already guessed that something was wrong, Xing Jue had never thought that Li Xiaohan and the Supreme Elder had actually met before.
However, at this moment, Xing Jue's guess was finally verified. There was indeed a story between Li Xiaohan and his grandfather. However, Xing Jue did not ask much and just quietly listened to Li Xiaohan's story.
"Actually, since the day I was born, I have never seen my parents and grandparents. I was brought up by the servants of the Yufeng Pavilion."
"When I was young, apart from following my master to cultivate, I would play alone in the Floating Clouds Mountain. I did not know who my parents were, and I had never felt true family love."
"Later on, when I gradually grew up, when I went out to train with my master, I would feel an indescribable sadness when I saw other children being loved by their parents."
"One day, I finally couldn't help but ask my master, 'Master, where are my parents?'"
"But later on, I found out that my parents were no longer in this world. They passed away not long after I was born."
Li Xiaohan slowly recounted the past, and there was a trace of sadness on her pure face. Clearly, she did not have a happy childhood, and the death of her parents also left a shadow in her heart.
"How did they die?" Hearing until here, Xing Jue finally couldn't hold back his emotions and asked emotionally. For an orphan like him, the word 'parents' was the most sensitive.
"Back then, my parents were the top disciples of the Yufeng Pavilion, and they were known as the future hope of the Yufeng Pavilion."
"However, when the two of them went out to train, they encountered a powerful old man who obstructed them."
"In the end, due to some conflicts, they fought. After that, my parents severely injured the old man, and he died not long after they returned to their sect."
"Later on, my parents found out that the old man was actually the Supreme Elder of the Nangong Family."
"After that, the Nangong Family brought a large army to the Yufeng Pavilion to attack, and they named my parents' lives."
"As for my parents, they didn't want to implicate the disciples of the Yufeng Pavilion, so they committed suicide." Speaking until here, Li Xiaohan's eyes were already completely moist, and a drop of sad tears slowly flowed down.
Xing Jue was silent as he stared at the teardrops that slowly flowed down. He could deeply sense just how painful Li Xiaohan was feeling at this moment. A child without parents yearned for their parents' love the most.
"Ever since that incident, my grandfather has been pushing all the blame onto him."
"He blamed himself for not accepting the Nangong Family's challenge, which led to the death of my parents."
"So from then on, he left the Yufeng Pavilion, and only returned today." After gently wiping away the tears on her face, Li Xiaohan continued.
"Xiaohan, then do you hate your grandfather?"
After listening to Li Xiaohan's story, Xing Jue walked to her side and asked in a low voice.
"I don't hate him, I just don't know how to face him." Hearing Xing Jue's question, Li Xiaohan slowly shook her head.
"It's okay, big brother Xing Jue, Xiaohan can rely on herself to walk out."
"I'm just afraid that big brother Xing Jue will worry about me, so I told you about it. After telling you, I feel much better."
"It's getting late, I'm going back first."
At this moment, Li Xiaohan suddenly raised her head and said to Xing Jue with a smile on her face. After saying this, without waiting for Xing Jue's reply, her body flashed and merged into the space, disappearing.
"Sigh ~"
Looking at Li Xiaohan who hurriedly left, Xing Jue helplessly sighed. He could feel how complicated Li Xiaohan's heart was at this moment, she must be feeling very conflicted.
However, at this moment, the only thing Xing Jue could do was silently accompany her. As for how to walk out of the knot in her heart, how to face the Supreme Elder, it all depended on Li Xiaohan herself.
"Buzz ~"
Just as Li Xiaohan left, the space behind Xing Jue suddenly fluctuated. Turning around, Xing Jue was shocked to find that the Supreme Elder was looking at him with a face full of smiles.
