"Yang Meng 'er?" The instant they heard that, Xiao Chen, Mu Qing and the others looked at each other in surprise. If no one mentioned it, Xiao Chen and the others would have probably already forgotten about Yang Meng 'er's existence.
The guard nodded and respectfully said, "Yes, I heard that something happened to the Yang family recently. It's related to Yang Meng 'er, but we don't know what it is."
"So it's like that. Looks like it's not a small matter. At least, the Yang family is unable to solve it." Xiao Lei indifferently shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression.
"Isn't Mrs. Yang quite powerful? She can't even solve such a small matter? "Feng Ningxiang said unhappily with a cold face.
"Madam, Mrs. Yang's cultivation was unable to increase due to her old age a few years ago. Right now, she is lying on the bed, unable to move." A current elder beside her shook his head slightly and said softly.
"Quite powerful. So powerful that she can't even move." Feng Ningxiang said another sarcastic sentence. Clearly, she was still a bit angry about what happened back then.
"Master, should we …" Looking at Feng Ningxiang, then looking at Xiao Changfeng, the guard was in a difficult position. He didn't dare to say too much, afraid that he would say something wrong.
"Let him in." Looking at Xiao Chen, Mu Qing and the others and seeing that their faces didn't change in the slightest, Xiao Changfeng said.
However, Xiao Changfeng's decision instantly made Feng Ningxiang, who was beside him, a bit displeased. She lightly snorted.
With that snort, Xiao Changfeng's face slightly changed. Soon after, he revealed a bitter smile and said indifferently, "Madam, it's been so long. Let it go."
"Yeah, Mom, let it go. No matter how big the matter is, it has already faded." Oriental Snow also nodded in agreement.
"Grandma, what's the matter?" Xiao Qinger's watery eyes turned as she held Feng Ningxiang's arm and asked curiously.
Hearing that, Feng Ningxiang's face revealed a tender smile. She touched Xiao Qinger's delicate face and said with a smile, "Nothing, just a small matter."
"Yang Menger? I remember Uncle Shen Tianhu telling me that she seems to be the person that Father was engaged to back then. However, because Father was a trash that couldn't cultivate back then, the Yang Family took the initiative to break off the engagement, "Xiao Feng frowned slightly as he glanced at Xiao Chen and thought to himself.
Pausing for a moment, Xiao Feng thought to himself, This is something that happened when Father was in his teens. I only regretted it after knowing that Father had achieved meteoric success. However, it has already been so many years, so there is no need to fuss over it. Given Father's personality, I'm afraid he has already forgotten about it.
Hearing that Patriarch Yang had an urgent matter to discuss, everyone in the hall quietened down. They all knew that what happened back then could be said to be the Xiao Family's greatest humiliation. Every time they thought about it, they would feel somewhat displeased.
Of course, Xiao Changfeng and Xiao Chen did not have the slightest opinion. They also did not dare to say anything. After all, Xiao Changfeng was still the Xiao Family's Patriarch, and the true authority to speak was still Xiao Chen.
Not long after, an extremely aged old man entered Xiao Chen's hall. He wore a dark grey robe, had black and white hair, and his face appeared somewhat pale and haggard. This person was the Patriarch of the Yang Family, Yang Zhengxiong.
Yang Zhengxiong was older than Xiao Changfeng, but at this moment, he looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies. His old and haggard face even carried a trace of anxiety and helplessness.
Of course, other than some headache-inducing and unsolvable matters, the other reason he looked so old was the problem of cultivation.
After dozens of years, Yang Zhengxiong was only at the late Nascent Soul Stage. As he grew older, his cultivation could not keep up. Naturally, he looked very old.
Seeing Yang Zhengxiong's miserable appearance, not only Xiao Changfeng and Xiao Chen, but even the current elders of the Xiao Family and other people looked at Yang Zhengxiong with a face full of astonishment.
"Patriarch Xiao, nephew Xiao Chen, hearing the news of your return really made this Old Man see hope." After entering the hall, Yang Zhengxiong glanced at Xiao Changfeng, Xiao Chen and the others, and said with a crying old face.
"Patriarch Yang, what matter has made you so worried and anxious?" Xiao Changfeng frowned. Seeing Yang Zhengxiong's miserable appearance, he could not bear it in his heart. At the same time, he gestured to a person named Xiao Chen to give him a seat.
"Meng 'er has been taken away. Old Man really does not have the ability to save Meng' er. I can only come to you, Patriarch Xiao, for help." Yang Zhengxiong's old and haggard face was filled with depression and sadness as he said in pain.
"Yang Meng 'er has been taken away? What exactly is going on? "Xiao Changfeng frowned again and asked.
Sighing sorrowfully, Yang Zhengxiong helplessly said, "This matter also happened a few months ago. When Meng 'er was playing in the Cloud Prefecture, she was targeted by someone. Later on, that person even came to the Yang Family and said that he wanted to propose marriage. He also knew that the person who proposed marriage was the young master of the Cloud Moon Sect in the Cloud Prefecture. Meng' er did not agree, so they forcefully took her away. The strength of the Cloud Moon Sect was very strong and the Yang Family simply could not defeat them. It was Meng 'er who used the method of suicide to force them back. Later on, who would have thought that they would directly take Meng' er away."
Speaking to here, Yang Zhengxiong's gaze quickly looked towards Xiao Changfeng and begged, "Patriarch Xiao, seeing that we have known each other for so many years, please help the Old Man save Meng 'er. The Old Man only has this one daughter."
Seeing that Xiao Chen did not speak from beginning to end, Yang Zhengxiong's heart was already disheartened. He also knew how serious the humiliation that matter back then was to Xiao Chen and the Xiao Family.
Even though dozens of years had already passed, Yang Zhengxiong was still unable to speak. Therefore, he did not dare to ask Xiao Chen for help and could only ask Xiao Changfeng.
Hearing this, Xiao Changfeng helplessly sighed and said indifferently, "Patriarch Yang, there is no need to worry. This is not a big matter."
"What kind of force is the Cloud Moon Sect? I don't seem to have heard of it before. "Her long, shapely eyebrows slightly knit together as her beautiful eyes flashed with doubt. Her red lips slightly parted as she asked.
Seeing Mu Qing open her mouth to ask, Xiao Chen, who was at the side, was a little surprised. However, his expression did not change much and only lightly glanced at Mu Qing.
"Young Mistress, the Cloud Moon Sect is a newly rising force in the Cloud Prefecture. Because of their relationship with Alchemists, the speed of their growth is relatively fast." An elder of the Xiao Family respectfully replied.
Looking at the elder who spoke, Xiao Feng asked, "Second Elder, are they very strong?"
"The Sect Master is at the late stage of the Out of Body Stage. Because the sect has two Grade 5 Alchemists, they have recruited quite a few Out of Body Stage experts. There are also quite a few Nascent Soul Stage and Golden Core Stage experts." The First Elder of the Xiao Family said.
"Out of Body Stage? Nascent Soul Stage? What Stage is that? "A stunned expression appeared on Xiao Feng's clean and handsome face as he curiously asked.
Looking at Xiao Feng, Mu Qing lovingly smiled and said, "Feng 'er, Qing' er, this is your first time in the Mortal World. You are not clear about the division of cultivation in the Mortal World. Mother will tell you later."
"Feng 'er?" The old face was slightly stunned as he sized up Xiao Feng and Xiao Qing 'er. Shortly after, he looked at Xiao Chen. The longer he looked, the more shocked he became. They were simply carved out of the same appearance.
"Patriarch Xiao, these two are?" His heart trembled as he hurriedly looked at Xiao Changfeng and asked. Even though he had guessed it, he still wanted to hear the answer.
Hearing this, without waiting for Xiao Changfeng to speak, Xiao Chen indifferently said, "Patriarch Yang, this is my son, Xiao Feng. He is twenty years old this year. Qing 'er is his mother. This is my daughter, Xiao Qing' er. She is eighteen years old this year. Xue 'er is her mother."
"As expected." Xiao Chen personally said it. Yang Zhengxiong cried out in his heart as the shock on his face increased. After being stunned for a moment, he said in surprise, "I didn't expect them to have grown up so much."
"Sigh, back then, if it wasn't for Madam looking down on that trash Xiao Chen and Meng 'er's stubborn character, the one who ascended to the Immortal World wouldn't have been Mu Tianran and the others, but the Old Man. The Yang Family would have already brought glory to our ancestors and not declined to this point." He bitterly smiled and regretted in his heart. Even though many years had passed, his heart was still unable to calm down. What should have been their Yang Family had now become someone else's.
Of course, the matter had already become the past and could not be changed. Yang Zhengxiong did not have the ability to change it and could only painfully accept it.
"Why aren't you greeting Grandpa Yang?" Casting his gaze towards Xiao Feng and Xiao Qing 'er, Xiao Chen indifferently said. From his words, it seemed like Xiao Chen was blaming them for not knowing their manners, but his tone did not have the slightest bit of blame.
"Grandpa Yang." Xiao Feng and Xiao Qing 'er politely nodded and greeted. They did not show anything inappropriate.
"Sigh!" Yang Zhengxiong's old and haggard face revealed a bitter smile as he nodded and replied. If it wasn't for the matter back then, this greeting would not be to Grandpa Yang, but to his grandfather!
"Chen 'er, regarding Yang Meng' er's matter, what do you think …" Looking at Xiao Chen, Xiao Changfeng also wanted to see Xiao Chen's opinion.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen indifferently shrugged his shoulders and indifferently said, "Father, everything in the Xiao Family is decided by you. I, your son, am just a hands-off shopkeeper. When I have nothing to do, I spend time with mother, Qing 'er, Xue' er, and my Qing 'er."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Changfeng's heart instantly surged with warmth. No matter how strong Xiao Chen had become, in Xiao Chen's heart, he still respected him as his father.
Of course, Xiao Chen's words were only to raise Xiao Changfeng's status to the point that Yang Zhengxiong would be envious.
Revealing a gratified and proud smile on his face, Xiao Changfeng indifferently said, "Xiao Mu, send a few people to the Yunyue Sect and ask them to release the people."
"Yes! Patriarch! "Respectfully nodding his head, Xiao Mu immediately left the hall.
"Thank you, Patriarch Xiao. I'm truly grateful." Immediately cupping his fists in thanks, Yang Zhengxiong's heart finally relaxed.
However, before she left, her eyes were filled with helplessness and sadness. She also looked at Xiao Chen with regret and helplessness. Soon after, she also left with a stomach full of pain. Her heart was filled with all kinds of complicated feelings.
Because of this matter, Yang Zhengxiong had suffered a great blow and pain in the past few years. Such a good son-in-law had actually been decisively abandoned by his wife and daughter. They were the strongest sovereigns in the Mortal World, not to mention that they had already ascended to the Immortal World.
If Yang Zhengxiong knew that Xiao Chen and the others had already ascended to the God World, and that Xiao Chen had even ascended to the Saints' World, who knew what kind of expression he would have.
