"Come, come, come! Sit down and talk! " Xiao Tingxu pulled Jiang Fei's wrist and made him sit beside him. The seat next to Jiang Fei was reserved for Xue Ji. As for the others, they sat below.
"I still have to thank Mr. Jiang for saving me today. Otherwise, this old man's life would be over!" Xiao Tingxu continued to thank Jiang Fei after he sat down.
"You're too kind. It was nothing." Jiang Fei also smiled as he exchanged pleasantries.
"…" Xue Ji was expressionless. She sat quietly beside Jiang Fei. In her opinion, the greetings between Jiang Fei and Xiao Tingxu were nothing more than human hypocrisy.
However, whether it was hypocrisy or etiquette, Jiang Fei and Xiao Tingxu were humans. Of course, they could not talk about benefits right away. That would be too unworldly. So, the two of them exchanged pleasantries for a long time. After three rounds of wine, Xiao Tingxu finally brought the topic on the right track.
"Mr. Jiang, I heard from Zhang Yun that you went to the Wang family before. Could it be that you and the Wang family are old friends?" Xiao Tingxu asked. This was also a question that the others were very concerned about. After all, the Xiao family and the Wang family were not on good terms. If Jiang Fei and the Wang family were old friends, it would not be easy to handle.
"It's not like we're old friends. We're just working together." Jiang Fei smiled.
"Cooperation? I wonder if it's convenient for Mr. Jiang to tell me? "Xiao Tingxu asked tentatively.
"Hehe, that's fine. Anyway, I'm not only cooperating with the Wang family. This matter is not confidential." Jiang Fei smiled slightly, then said to Xiao Tingxu and the others, "What do you think of the Five Skies?"
"Ah?" Xiao Tingxu and the others were stunned by Jiang Fei's sudden words.
"I mean, are you interested in the outside world?" Jiang Fei added.
"Hmm?! Mr. Jiang, could it be that you have a way out? "Everyone present was smart. They understood Jiang Fei's point.
"That's right! I have already mentioned this to the Wang family, the Yuan family, and the Heart Moon Sect. Other than the Wang family who has already agreed, the other two families are also considering it! "Jiang Fei was frank and did not hide anything.
"Heart Moon Sect? Isn't Mr. Jiang a disciple of the Martial Heroic Palace? " Xiao Tingxu said in surprise. Don't look at how Jiang Fei had only stayed in the Xiao family for a day. With the Xiao family's enormous information network, Jiang Fei's public information in the Five Skies had already been pretty much gathered.
"So what? The Temple Master was worried about the chair under his butt and refused to let the disciples of the Martial Heroic Palace go out with me, so I had to find another way, "Jiang Fei said with a smile.
"So what Mr. Jiang means is that you plan to bring our Xiao Family into the fold?" Xiao Tingxu asked.
"That's what I mean." Jiang Fei smiled.
"Sure!" Xiao Tingxu agreed without hesitation. After a short pause, he added, "But Mr. Jiang, I have a small request."
"Tell me about it." Jiang Fei smiled.
"We can offer the same conditions as the Wang Family, but we also request the same treatment as the Wang Family!" Xiao Tingxu was not stupid. The reason why he agreed to Jiang Fei's request without even bargaining was because the Wang family had already joined the plan. If the Xiao family did not want to fall behind, they had to follow closely behind.
"Sure!" Of course, Jiang Fei had no problem with this. Although he needed cannon fodder, wasn't it better to have subordinates who could earnestly carry out his orders?
"Then it's a deal!" Xiao Tingxu immediately nodded. He did not doubt Jiang Fei's words at all. After all, a True Immortal with such medical skills and a super bodyguard like Xue Ji, would he tell such an unreliable lie?
"Good! It's a deal! "Jiang Fei raised the wine glass in his hand and clinked it with Xiao Tingxu's. They had reached an agreement.
After reaching an agreement with the Xiao family, Jiang Fei stayed in the Xiao family for another two days. During these two days, Jiang Fei wanted to steal the Mystic Ice Bed, but he also wanted to get some information from the Xiao family.
"Captain, how much do you know about the Xie family?" 0541 asked Jiang Fei after the banquet ended.
"I don't know much. Other than knowing that they have mastered the top-notch metal-type martial arts, I know almost nothing about their family." Jiang Fei shook his head. In fact, it was not just Jiang Fei. Even the natives of the Five Worlds knew very little about the Xie family.
In the Five Worlds, almost everyone knew that the Xie family was one of the four major families. They also knew that their metal-type martial arts were unprecedentedly powerful. However, as for where this family was and what kind of strength they had, almost no one could say for sure. It could be said that the Xie family was the most mysterious of the four major families.
"Then what should we do? We don't even know where the Xie family is now," 0541 said worriedly.
"We don't know, but the Xiao family should have some information. I'll go ask Xiao Changyun tomorrow!" Jiang Fei said.
"That's true. These major families will always know some things that ordinary people don't." 0541 nodded.
"Are you going to the Xie family?" Xue Ji, who had not taken the initiative to speak, suddenly interrupted. Jiang Fei was not surprised that she could listen in on the conversation between Jiang Fei and 0541.
"Yes." Jiang Fei nodded.
"I'll bring you there, but you're not allowed to kill anyone," Xue Ji said expressionlessly.
"Oh?! You're bringing me there? " Jiang Fei's mind suddenly flashed. He subconsciously asked, "Could it be that the Xie family isn't human?!"
"Yes!" There was no need for Xue Ji to lie to Jiang Fei. After all, once they reached the Xie family, she would be able to see through Jiang Fei's abilities.
"No wonder! But they're really good at hiding it, "Jiang Fei muttered to himself. The Xie family had always been hiding from the world and never participated in disputes. It turned out that it was because they did not belong to the human world. No wonder they never interfered with the affairs of the human world.
"When do you plan to go?" Xue Ji asked.
"Now!" Jiang Fei said after thinking for a moment. The reason why he stayed in the Xiao family was to find out about the Xie family and steal the Mystic Ice Bed. However, if the Xie family was not a human family, then the Xiao family might not know as much about them as Xue Ji did. Moreover, Xiao Tingxu almost never took the Mystic Ice Bed with him. Unless he stole it openly, Jiang Fei's chances of stealing it were not high.
Moreover, Jiang Fei was still working with the Xiao family. Obviously, he could not steal it openly. Therefore, there was no point for him to stay in the Xiao family.
After making up his mind to leave, Jiang Fei bade farewell to Xiao Changyun. Although the Xiao family kept asking him to stay, Jiang Fei had already made up his mind. After leaving behind his communicator, Jiang Fei left the Xiao family's house in the afternoon.
"Come with me!" Xue Ji said expressionlessly.
"Okay!" Jiang Fei nodded, then followed behind Xue Ji on her flying sword. The two of them passed through mountains and ridges. The further they went, the less people there were. Finally, they arrived at a huge primeval forest.
"No wonder no one can find the Xie family. It's here!" Jiang Fei nodded. It would be strange if anyone could find the Xie family in such a desolate place.
