Su Xin walked up to Magistrate Cui and handed the invitation of the Six Fan School to him. However, he did not immediately enter the Cui family. Instead, he looked at Magistrate Cui with a complicated expression.
Normally, when something big happened in a sect or aristocratic family, there was indeed a need for a person who was smooth and slick to welcome the guests and strive to not offend anyone.
Welcoming the guests was a matter of welcoming the guests. Magistrate Cui standing at the gate and making promises was purely the work of a servant. It would be better to send an Acquired Realm or Innate Realm warrior.
Even if Magistrate Cui did not reveal his cultivation of the Harmonious Spirit Realm in the Cui family, he should not be here to welcome the guests even if he had the strength of the Divine Transformation Realm. This was simply an insult to him.
As the strongest of the four Judges of the Underworld, and also the Chief Steward of the Underworld, Su Xin hadn't forgotten the scene of Judge Cui killing the Heavenly Court's Mighty Spiritual God with a single strike when he was ambushing the Heavenly Court's people outside the Northern Plains.
Such strength was definitely second only to the existence of the Yang Spirit Realm.
The amazing strength and unparalleled momentum of Magistrate Cui and the humble Cui Daoheng in front of him with a slightly hunched back and a humble smile were simply like two different people.
Magistrate Cui took the invitation and looked at Su Xin, who was standing still in front of him. He shook his head and showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, indicating that Su Xin should enter the Cui family first.
Since Magistrate Cui did not want to say more, Su Xin did not ask more. He paused for a moment and then stepped into the gate of the Cui family.
At this time, Magistrate Cui behind him shouted, "Welcome to the Four Great Arresters of the Six Fan School, Su Xin, Lord Su!"
Su Xin stepped into the Cui family. At this time, there were already many people in the martial arts world in the courtyard of the Cui family. When they saw Su Xin coming, they all looked at him and then turned their attention.
Su Xin had made a lot of noise in the Jianghu recently. It was the first time in the Jianghu that he had been on the Terrestrial Rankings twice in a year.
However, there were only a few who actually came up to greet and get close to Su Xin.
First, it was because of Su Xin's identity. After all, he was one of the four Super Arresters of the Six Fan School and a member of the imperial court. There was a natural barrier between him and the people of Jianghu.
There was also Su Xin's status.
Now that Su Xin was one of the Four Great Super Arresters, his strength was comparable to a Harmonious Spirit Realm expert. Those who could talk to Su Xin on equal footing were existences on the same level as the Dugu Clan's Patriarch, Dugu Yan.
There weren't many existences of this level present.
After all, although this was a marriage alliance between the Xiao family and the Cui family, the marriage partner was only an ordinary direct descendant, and not the heir of the Xiao family like 'Marquis Xiao An' Xiao Huang.
If it was Xiao Huang who was marrying a disciple from another clan or sect, an existence like Dugu Yan would have personally come to congratulate him.
Therefore, although all the major sects sent people over for the marriage alliance between the Cui family and the Xiao family, they only sent one Harmonious Spirit Realm expert at most. There weren't many existences of the Patriarch's level.
However, at this time, someone came over and took the initiative to greet Su Xin: "Long time no see. Brother Su's name has spread far and wide in Jianghu. You've even surpassed us."
A handsome and elegant young man walked over with a perfect smile on his face and greeted Su Xin.
Needless to say, this person was naturally the heir of the Xiao family, 'Marquis Xiao An' Xiao Huang.
As the heir of the Xiao family, Xiao Huang had already begun to participate in the family's affairs. It was normal for him to appear at this kind of occasion.
Su Xin also cupped his hands and revealed a fake smile on his face.
To Su Xin, the Xiao family's presence in Jiangnan was like a fishbone stuck in his throat. Moreover, this Xiao Huang had once provoked the 'Unparalleled Sword' Lin Xiao of the Sword God Mountain to attack him. It was easy to imagine how Su Xin felt about him.
Su Xin's evaluation of Xiao Huang was very simple. He was definitely the perfect candidate for the Patriarch that the Xiao family had created.
As the Xiao family that had thousands of years of inheritance and was also the former royal family, the Xiao family naturally had their own way of training their disciples. Xiao Huang was the most typical heir that they had trained.
Although he wasn't as amazing as He Xiu and Lin Changhe in terms of strength, he was impeccable in other aspects.
He Xiu had once said that Xiao Huang was a scheming person who liked to scheme. This was the thing that He Xiu disliked the most about Xiao Huang.
However, it was also because of this that Xiao Huang was listed as a candidate for the Patriarch.
For a family, the Patriarch didn't have to be the strongest one, but he had to be the most capable one.
After Xiao Huang had advanced to the Divine Transformation Realm, he had been in charge of some of the Xiao family's affairs. One could imagine that his ability had been recognized by the Xiao family.
Su Xin feigned civility and made small talk with Xiao Huang. On the surface, Xiao Huang wore his habitual perfect smile, but in his heart, he had mixed feelings towards Su Xin.
He Xiu had once said that he looked down on Xiao Huang, but he didn't know that Xiao Huang looked down on He Xiu as well.
To Xiao Huang, He Xiu was nothing more than a martial artist.
In order to defeat Lin Changhe once, He Xiu had stayed at the Divinity Stage for a few years, delaying his future cultivation. To Xiao Huang, such a move was rather unwise.
He Xiu was too stubborn, which was why Xiao Huang saw him as a martial artist.
A person who couldn't even control his own thoughts was destined to have limited achievements in the future.
Although Lin Changhe was amazing, he was too indifferent, which was also a fatal flaw.
Just like the Taiyidaomen Sect, it had never been popular. Even when it was at its peak, it had never thought about competing for the position of the supreme master of martial arts or the leader of Taoism.
Even if Lin Changhe had the potential to become an expert in the Real Martial Arts Realm in the future, the Xiao family also had experts in the Real Martial Arts Realm. With Lin Changhe's personality, it wouldn't matter even if he reached the Real Martial Arts Realm. It was estimated that the time he had spent cultivating was longer than the time he had been born.
Xiao Huang didn't take the two former No. 1 on the Ranking List of Young Masters seriously. However, Su Xin, who was standing in front of him, made Xiao Huang vigilant and even a little jealous.
Among the martial artists on the Ranking List of Young Masters this year, Su Xin was the most high-profile one.
While others were still in seclusion to consolidate their cultivation, Su Xin had already stepped on the corpses of the experts of the previous generation to become famous and ranked on the Ranking List of Young Masters.
From Xiao Huang's point of view, the first two were the most important.
Although Xiao Huang was very confident, he knew that if he was in Su Xin's position, it would be very difficult for him to achieve the same level as Su Xin.
Looking at Su Xin, who he had looked down on in the past during the Jiangnan Meeting, now had such prestige and strength. He even had the qualifications to be on equal footing with the older generation of Harmonious Spirit Realm experts. Xiao Huang couldn't help but feel a little upset.
However, his control of his expression had reached an extreme. In the eyes of others, he was still the perfect "Marquis Xiao An" Xiao Huang.
However, if Su Xin knew Xiao Huang's thoughts, he would definitely laugh at Xiao Huang for taking things for granted.
Scheming, means, and strength were three things that Su Xin attached great importance to. Even in many cases, Su Xin relied on the first two to do things.
But in fact, in Su Xin's heart, strength could be ranked first.
Without strength, no matter how many scheming, means, or how many calculations he had, it would all be useless.
In this Jianghu, one still had to rely on their fists to speak.
"Oh right, Brother Xiao, who is the marriage partner of your Xiao Clan and the Cui Clan this time?" Su Xin seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.
This was also what he found strange. This time, the Cui Clan's invitation did not specify who the marriage partner was. It only said that the Cui Clan and the Xiao Clan's bloodline were going to be connected by marriage. This was a little strange.
This thing was not something shameful, so why did they need to hide it?
However, it was not only Su Xin who did not know, even the others present did not know. Their invitation did not specify this thing.
Hearing Su Xin's question, Xiao Huang's face revealed a trace of a strange expression. He paused for a moment, then laughed twice and said: "In three days, our Xiao Clan will be marrying the Cui Clan's people. At that time, Brother Su will naturally know.
The Cui Clan does not have enough manpower, so I still need to help greet the others. Let's talk another day. "
After saying that, Xiao Huang directly left. Instead, Su Xin touched his chin, a trace of a playful expression appeared on his face.
It seemed that this marriage between the Cui Clan and the Xiao Clan had some problems. Otherwise, why would Xiao Huang be so secretive?
However, this matter had nothing to do with him. This time, he was only here to go through the formalities, and also to see Magistrate Cui.
Last time, in the Northern Plains Path, they cheated the Celestial Court and snatched the Divine Sky Dragon Sword. This time, they had completely gathered the keys to open the Nine Sword Pavilion, but most of them were in the hands of the Heavenly Palace. He did not know what the Hades wanted to do.
In the middle of the night, Su Xin was arranged by the Cui family to stay in one of the best rooms. However, Su Xin didn't go to sleep. Instead, he sat by the table, his fingers constantly tapping on the table, making rhythmic 'du du' sounds, as if he was waiting for something.
Sure enough, just after midnight, a black fog appeared in front of Su Xin.
Magistrate Cui walked out of the black fog and directly sat beside Su Xin. He picked up a cup of tea and took a big gulp, then said: "There are too many guests today, so I am a bit too busy. Only now do I have some free time."
Su Xin poured another cup of tea for Magistrate Cui and asked: "Why?"
His question was unclear, but Magistrate Cui understood the meaning behind it.
What Su Xin asked was why he, the dignified Head Steward of the Hades, a Harmonious Spirit Realm Magistrate Cui, had to endure in the Cui Clan and be humiliated by others?
In Su Xin's view, the Cui Clan was humiliating Magistrate Cui.
Not to mention the declining Cui Clan, even in the Xiao Clan, an existence in the Divine Transformation Realm was still a high-end force. They could not wait to nurture him. How could they let him welcome guests at the door and do the work that only servants would do?
Magistrate Cui sighed and said: "There are many helpless things in this world. There are some things that you cannot break, so you can only endure."
Su Xin looked at Magistrate Cui and said: "But the problem is that you, Magistrate Cui, have the ability to break it.
As far as I know, the strongest experts in the Cui Clan are only three Harmonious Spirit Realm existences.
Moreover, two of these three Harmonious Spirit Realm experts are already old. Even if the three of them join forces, they will not be able to defeat you. Why do you have to endure? "
