Erase Thunder Tribulation
In the God Realm's Xiao Family, the aristocratic family that controlled tribulation lightning, Xiao Yan frantically followed the cobblestone path to a thatched cottage surrounded by bamboo.
"Father."
"What now?"
Xiao Ting sat at the stone table outside the thatched cottage, a cup of fragrant tea in his hand. His brows were furrowed in displeasure. Someone had clearly disturbed his tea tasting and he was in a bad mood.
When he saw Xiao Ting's expression, Xiao Yan timidly licked his lips.
However, when he considered the importance of the information his subordinates had reported, he gritted his teeth and bowed to Xiao Ting.
"Father, someone has reported it. Someone from the Lower Realm that is directly under our jurisdiction has achieved Divine Bestowal again. "
"Yes."
Xiao Ting replied indifferently, then took a sip of his tea. The moment it entered his mouth, a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.
He closed his eyes in infatuation, and there was a satisfied smile on his lips.
After a long time, he placed the fragrant tea on the table and couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"It really is a good treasure."
Without saying much, he poured another cup for him.
Xiao Yan stood to the side, waiting for Xiao Ting to respond. However, considering Xiao Ting's temper, he didn't dare disturb him.
He stood there quietly for two hours.
Xiao Ting drank all the tea in the teapot on the stone table. He gazed longingly at the teapot and cup. Shortly after, he let out a soft sigh and stretched his body lazily.
Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to notice Xiao Yan standing guard outside. He couldn't help but raise his brows.
"I almost forgot. What did you come here to tell me?"
"Reporting to Father, in the Three Lower Realms under our jurisdiction, another person has achieved Divine Bestowal," replied Xiao Yan.
Xiao Ting nodded indifferently and smiled.
"Recently, the Desolate Savage Land has been quite remarkable. But why did you have to come here to report to me? Could it be the Child of Fortune from before?"
"No." Xiao Yan shook his head. "He's Truelord Erlang, a subordinate of the Heavenly Court in the Lower Realms, Yang Jian."
"Well, since it's not that Son of Fortune, why care about the others? If he could withstand nine bolts of lightning, then let him come up. If he couldn't, then it meant that he didn't have the fate to become a god. You're the head of the Xiao Family now. Can't you make your own decisions? "
Xiao Ting's gaze hardened. He'd pursued power, but now he was in his twilight years. From the fact that he'd retired to a thatched cottage in the mountains, it was clear that he was no longer as passionate about pursuing power as before. He wanted to let go of everything in the Xiao Family and hand it over to his heir.
Xiao Yan was his only son, but he was far too indecisive. He'd always looked down on him. Every time this happened, he would think of his eldest daughter.
Although she was a woman, she was not inferior to men.
In the past, he valued sons more than daughters, causing his eldest daughter to be covered in dust. It wasn't until he truly disappeared and Xiao Yan ascended to the throne, and as he grew older that he began to regret his actions.
But it was too late.
Xiao Yan sighed faintly, exhaustion in his eyes.
"Looks like I came at the wrong time."
At this moment, a black-robed person appeared in the sky. Even though she was deliberately concealing her true voice, it was clear that she was a woman.
When he saw who it was, Xiao Ting immediately warmed up.
"No, no. My son was just discussing some trivial matters with me. Your Excellency, you came just in time. I've already used up all the tea you gave me. At the time, I was a bit distressed and didn't know how to contact you. "
"I came to visit today because I thought you might have had enough, so I brought you some more."
With a flip of her hand, the black-robed figure produced a long piece of tinfoil wrapped in her palm. Xiao Ting's eyes blazed with fervent light, then he frowned at Xiao Yan.
"Alright, hurry up and go back. Don't bother me with trivial matters like these. I've already decided to live in seclusion. I don't want to worry about these trivial matters anymore. "
"Father, I'm not done yet."
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?!"
Xiao Ting's temper flared. When Xiao Yan saw this, he couldn't help but shrink back. Under these circumstances, he absolutely didn't dare say anything else.
Pursing his lips, Xiao Yan nodded, bowed, and left the thatched cottage.
Xiao Ting smiled warmly, rubbed his hands, and looked at the black-robed figure.
"How can I …."
"There's no need. Just give it to you." The black-robed figure laughed, then tossed the long piece of tea onto the table. Xiao Ting licked his lips, his eyes blazing as he stared at it. "How could I do that? I can't keep taking your treasures for free."
"It's nothing." The black-robed figure laughed, then said, "I have other matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer."
"Then how am I supposed to find you in the future to buy this?"
"Once you've had enough, I'll naturally appear."
With that, the black-robed figure suddenly vanished from the thatched cottage. The instant she left, Xiao Ting ran over to the stone table and opened the long piece of tea.
He carefully knocked off a few pieces, then poured them into the teapot ….
He took a sip.
The moment the tea entered his throat, his body trembled as if he'd contracted malaria. Then he opened his eyes, his expression one of pleasure and satisfaction.
"You guys, come with me."
He'd suffered at Xiao Ting's hands, but that didn't mean he was a coward in front of his clansmen. After returning to his residence, he pointed at a few of his retainers and led them to the front hall.
"My Lord."
When they saw the furious Xiao Yan sitting on a chair, the retainers nervously bowed to him.
For a long while, Xiao Yan said nothing.
His sea of consciousness was constantly thinking about what his subordinates had previously reported to him.
Sixty-four bolts of tribulation lightning had descended, but the tribulation hadn't landed on the one who'd gone through it. Someone had blocked it for him, but that person hadn't left behind any useful information. By the time they'd been about to add more lightning, the tribulation had been erased.
There were actually quite a few people in the God Realm who had the ability to erase their Xiao Family's tribulation lightning.
But the Xiao Family was a prestigious aristocratic family. Erasing their tribulation lightning was like slapping them in the face.
Who would do such a thing?
Inexplicably, he suddenly thought of Xuan Ji, who'd opposed his father with equal harshness.
"I told you to keep an eye on her. Is there any news from her?"
"My Lord, Xuan Ji has remained in the Profound Pavillion these past few days. She hasn't gone anywhere," replied one of the retainers.
Xiao Yan frowned.
"Continue to keep an eye on her. If she does anything strange, no, if she does anything, report it to me immediately."
