Should he accept Xuanyuan Yuxin? Should he reject Xuanyuan Yuxin?
Xiao Chen's mind was in a mess.
If he accepted Xuanyuan Yuxin, then not only would Xiao Chen obtain a peerless beauty, but he would also obtain the strongest backing of the Xuanyuan Family in the Central Prefecture. At that time, Xiao Chen would be able to do whatever he wanted in the Central Prefecture.
However, Xiao Chen didn't love Xuanyuan Yuxin at all. With his personality, how could he casually accept a woman?
Moreover, Xiao Chen's purpose in coming to the Central Prefecture was to find Su Qingyi, not to become the son-in-law of the Xuanyuan Family. Especially when there were still many relatives and friends waiting for him to return to the Wilderness God Continent. How could he stay in the Xuanyuan Family and live a comfortable life like an immortal?
If he rejected Xuanyuan Yuxin, then Xiao Chen would hurt a girl's heart, and he might lose the powerful backing of the Xuanyuan Family.
Moreover, Xiao Chen would also feel bad. After all, Xuanyuan Yuxin took the initiative to kiss him in front of millions of people in Xuanyuan City. This was equivalent to telling the world that Xuanyuan Yuxin was already his woman.
Reputation!
Reputation was very important to a woman. As the number one miss of Xuanyuan City, Xuanyuan Yuxin's reputation was more eye-catching than anyone else's. If Xiao Chen didn't want her, then it was self-evident what kind of blow she would suffer.
Xiao Chen's mind was in a mess as he followed Xuanyuan Feihong and Xuanyuan Boyu to the backyard of the Xuanyuan Family. He didn't know how long he had walked, but it was obvious that he had been poisoned by a woman.
When they reached an empty space in the backyard, Xuanyuan Feihong stopped and signaled everyone to stop. Xiao Chen and Da Huang glanced at each other and stopped as well.
The people who followed them were all young masters, young ladies, and elders of the Xuanyuan Family. Only these people were qualified to go to the place where Old Master Xuanyuan was recuperating. After all, Xuanyuan Hongyun was on the verge of death from the poison. If the person wasn't absolutely trustworthy, then they shouldn't get close to him.
If an enemy of the Xuanyuan Family infiltrated the Xuanyuan Family or hid among the Xuanyuan Family's experts as a spy, and the Xuanyuan Family wasn't prepared, Xuanyuan Hongyun would be easily assassinated.
If Xuanyuan Hongyun was assassinated, it would be an immeasurable loss for the Xuanyuan Family. After all, he was the strongest expert in the Xuanyuan Family, and he was also the head of the family.
The situation in the Central Plains was very complicated. Xuanyuan Hongyun couldn't die. If he died, the Demonic Hall would be even more unscrupulous. They might even turn out to attack the Xuanyuan Family.
Moreover, the Xuanyuan Family's potential enemies would also take advantage of the situation and start a war to destroy the Xuanyuan Family. It was entirely possible that the Xuanyuan Family would become a supreme family in the Central Plains.
"Eh? Could this be … "
Xiao Chen was a little confused as to why Xuanyuan Feihong stopped in front of an empty space. Therefore, he spread his divine sense forward, trying to sense if there was anything strange in the open space, such as an illusion.
At that moment, the Fengsha Sword sent a voice transmission to Xiao Chen, confirming Xiao Chen's guess. "Big Brother, there is indeed an illusion in front of us. It's a rather advanced illusion. It seems like the Xuanyuan Family is quite powerful."
Just then, the Fengsha Sword sent a voice transmission to Xiao Chen, confirming Xiao Chen's guess. As expected, Xiao Chen understood.
He was interested to see how Xuanyuan Feihong would open the illusion and lead everyone inside. Xuanyuan Feihong took out an unknown red token from his storage ring and held it horizontally in front of him.
Something magical happened. The sky above the open space in front of them rippled. After a while, a three-story building slowly appeared in front of everyone, as if it had appeared out of thin air.
Xuanyuan Feihong put away the token that controlled the illusion. He turned to Xiao Chen and the yellow dog, and said, "Xiao Chen, Da Huang, please follow me."
"Senior Xuanyuan, please lead the way." Xiao Chen nodded and didn't refuse. He followed behind Xuanyuan Feihong, who was already walking forward.
The yellow dog followed closely behind Xiao Chen. As a member of the Xuanyuan Family, he had to stay with Xiao Chen at all times. If anything happened, he would immediately merge with Xiao Chen's battle beast.
One had to be wary of others. There were many powerhouses in the Xuanyuan Family, but not all of them were as trustworthy as Xuanyuan Boyu.
To be honest, Xiao Chen didn't trust Xuanyuan Feihong at all. After all, one could know a person's face but not his heart. What if Xuanyuan Feihong was a hypocrite?
Xuanyuan Boyu was about to follow behind the yellow dog when he suddenly thought of something. He turned around and ordered the eight elders of the Xuanyuan Family sternly, "Eight elders, the space inside is small.
Don't go in. Stay outside and guard the entrance. Don't allow anyone else to enter. Anyone who disobeys will be killed. "
"Err, yes, Second Head."
The eight elders were all old men. They were slightly stunned when they heard Xuanyuan Boyu's order, but they immediately agreed respectfully. They didn't dare to have any objections. Even the Great Elder who was at the peak of demigod ninth level did the same.
Xuanyuan Boyu was called the Second Head by the eight elders. His status in the Xuanyuan Family was only below Xuanyuan Hongyun and Xuanyuan Feihong. He was the second head of the family, and Xuanyuan Feihong was the first head of the family.
Xuanyuan Boyu was worried that the eight elders might have enemies' spies. Naturally, he couldn't let the eight elders get close to his father, Xuanyuan Hongyun. Otherwise, if there were spies among the eight elders, it would be a fatal threat to Xuanyuan Hongyun.
As for Xuanyuan Yuxin and Xuanyuan Bonin, they were Xuanyuan Hongyun's biological granddaughter and grandson. Xuanyuan Boyu knew them like the back of his hand. Naturally, he didn't need to worry about them entering.
Xiao Chen and the others entered the first floor. Xuanyuan Feihong didn't go upstairs. Instead, he went to the room on the right of the three rooms on the first floor.
There was a desk, a bookshelf, and a chair in the room. It was obviously a study. The study was empty, and Xiao Chen suspected that there was a secret passage in the study.
As expected.
Xuanyuan Feihong walked to the bookshelf and took down a book from it with his left hand. He emptied the bookshelf and started fiddling with the bookshelf with his right hand.
Kacha, kacha.
At this moment, a strange sound came from the center of the study. The ground was shaking as if it was about to split open. It was a very strange feeling.
An underground secret room?
Xiao Chen stared at the center of the room, feeling a little wary. As expected, after a short while, a square-shaped hole slowly appeared in the seemingly flawless ground.
The hole was connected to a metal staircase that led downwards. It was pitch-black inside. No one knew how deep it was.
Noticing the vigilance in Xiao Chen's eyes, Xuanyuan Boyu smiled and explained, "Brother Xiao, this is an underground secret room of the Xuanyuan Family.
"Brother Xiao, this is one of the secret underground rooms of our Xuanyuan Family. My father is placed in there and well protected. Come, who will accompany me and my elder brother?"
"Okay." Xiao Chen simply replied. He wasn't surprised. He exchanged glances with the yellow dog and followed Xuanyuan Feihong and Xuanyuan Boyu down the metal staircase.
