THE AGAINTS THE GOD

22 - Upheaval (1)

Not long after Xiao Lingxi left, Xia Qingyue returned. Today she had exchanged her red clothes for a water blue gown embroidered with a phoenix design. In her hair was a sapphire pin, from her ear hanging a pair of pearl earrings, and on her neck hung a sapphire blue pearl necklace. The skin of the neck that looks snow-white is shiny, transparent to the point where even the bones underneath can be seen. It was emitting light and was a very beautiful sight to behold.

Xiao Che looked at her with a overwhelmed expression, his eyes were extremely shining. This unique and beautiful scene, was not just like the image of a fairy descending into the mortal realm …?

Xia Qingyue walked through the door, each step light and graceful as if she was stepping on a cloud. Her snow-white face and pale neck were not only beautiful to the extreme, but also exuded a kind of noble and cold pride that would put people to shame … No one who saw her would believe that she was merely the daughter of a small merchant town, but would rather think that she was a solitary and untouchable empress.

Xiao Che looked at her in a daze as his heart sighed thousands of times .. This room was the only place he could change! She must have slept well and really missed the beautiful sight of her changing! Ahhhhhhh, that is truly unforgivable !!

"Blue clothes are more suitable for you than red," Xiao Che wholeheartedly praised as he watched her, overjoyed.

Xia Qingyue was not touched in the slightest by her admiration. Looking at the empty pot of soup on the table, he walked over and picked it up, preparing to go outside.

"Are you making that chicken soup?" Xiao Che asked in a loud voice.

"Did it taste bad?" Xia Qingyue asked in a cold manner, her back facing him. However, in the depths of his eyes were subtle emotions that even he himself did not understand.

“It was very good. That's when I know that you're amazing even when it comes to making soup. '' Xiao Che said with a smile. He stood up and stretched, then said solemnly, “To pay for my wife's chicken soup, Qingyue, tonight on the bed. ”

"……" Xia Qingyue had already gotten used to the occasional flirtation. He said expressionlessly, “The people of Xiao Sect will arrive this afternoon. The leader was the youngest son of the master of the Xiao Sect, called Xiao Kuangyun. I heard master say that the cultivation of this profound strength of Xiao Kuangyun can only be considered average among the younger generation of the Xiao Sect, and its reputation abroad is very bad. However, he was greatly pampered because he was the youngest son. No one in Floating Cloud City dared to provoke him. It is best to try not to meet him face to face. ”

“Xiao Kuangyun? All right, I get it. Thank you for warning me, Qingyue my wife. "Said Xiao Che, beaming.

……………………………………

Today was the arrival day for the people of the Xiao Sect.

The news of the arrival of the Xiao Sect not only affected the Xiao Clan, but also greatly affected all of Floating Cloud City.

Floating Cloud City was located at the base of the Blue Wind Empire in every way. On the other hand, the Xiao Sect was located at the peak of the Blue Wind Empire. The number of levels between the two is countless. The people from the Xiao Sect .. and also the youngest son of the Xiao Sect master who came here personally were no different from the emperor who visited the lowest rural family. All of Floating Cloud City had been shrouded in a sort of nervous atmosphere. Some people were vaguely looking forward to it, hoping to use any method to establish even the slightest connection with the Xiao Sect. Even more people were worried in their hearts. After knowing that this afternoon was when they would arrive, they all locked themselves inside for fear of unintentionally offending the other party, it would not be much different from stepping on an ant. To them, the law is a joke.

The Xiao Clan's main courtyard had been neatly and neatly laid out, with no dust found anywhere. At the beginning of two days ago, the largest and most luxurious courtyard of the Xiao Clan that had always lived in Xiao Yunhai had been swept back and decorated. Even the sheets, blankets, and furniture have all been replaced. Moreover, Xiao Yunhai had moved to the smaller courtyard next to him. Even the next few days the food had been personally arranged by him .. Even though he was tired to death, his heart remained overjoyed! It was because he was a hundred percent certain that his son Xiao Yulong would be the one chosen by the Xiao Sect this time around! At that time, his son would fly into the sky! And he, himself, would be someone that no one dared to provoke in Floating Cloud City .. No! Instead, within a hundred li radius! (TL: li \=. 5 kilometers)

Starting at ten in the morning, Xiao Yunhai had personally led all the elders to wait at the entrance of the clan, ready to greet the guests. They waited until noon .. then .. until afternoon .. it was only five in the afternoon when a Xiao Clan disciple ran back while shouting from a distance: " Clan Master! They ... they have arrived !! The people of Xiao Sect have arrived .. The splendor was .. It must be the Xiao Sect! "

Everyone's bodies were shaking. Xiao Yunhai took a quick step, shouting in a low voice: "Quick! Tell everyone to get ready. I will definitely not forgive anyone who messes up and offends noble guests! Fellow elders, follow me out to meet them at once! "

Xiao Yunhai crazily rushed out. Only after walking straight ahead for more than one li did he finally see four people hurriedly walking towards them.

Of the four of them, the lead was a young man who looked to be around twenty years old in luxurious clothes, a normal body, and mediocre features. His white face contained a trace of modesty, his appearance was like an exaggerated hedonist. As far as it could be seen, he would not stand out amidst the crowd. However, even such an ordinary face was filled with arrogance and arrogance. His hands were behind his back as he walked, his eyes staring upwards, not even glancing at passers-by once in a while, as if even a glance would dirty his eyes.

Following behind him was an elder in black clothes, his features were as calm as water. Further back were two youths dressed in the same black. The silver eagle pattern was embroidered on each of their shoulders.

Xiao Yunhai took a deep breath and then quickly walked over to greet them. He cupped his fists in greeting, his body leaning forward, and carefully and respectfully asked: "Sorry, are you the four noble guests of the Xiao Sect?"

Xiao Yunhai's attitude immediately became more respectful. He respectfully said: “It turns out to be four noble guests, that's great! We have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time. Your humble servant is the clan master of the Xiao Clan who is Floating Cloud City. The five behind me are the five esteemed elders of the Xiao Clan. For the four noble guests to come out so far to our Xiao Clan, we are very grateful and humble. ”

“No need to continue nonsense. "The gaze of Xiao Kuangyun flickered at the five elders. He then lazily reached out his hand: “Lead the way. ”

"Yes yes! Please follow me . '' Xiao Yunhai immediately nodded and then turned his body to personally lead the way back to the Xiao Clan.

"I'm afraid I don't recognize this senior …"

“Xiao Moshan's. '' The black-clothed elder replied indifferently. His face was emotionless, like a corpse.

Xiao Yunhai did not dare to speak any further, his heart was full of worry. He could see the cultivation level of Xiao Kuangyun's profound strength, but could not sense even the slightest bit of the profound strength of Xiao Moshan's body. This could be because this Xiao Moshan had yet to cultivate, which was clearly impossible. Either that, or his cultivation of profound strength surpassed his ability to detect so far.

By the time they returned to the Xiao Clan, a large group of people were already standing at the entrance. Upon seeing the respectful attitude of Xiao Yunhai in front, their hearts thumped. Their eyes were fixed on the arrogant young man, and then they all stumbled over each other to greet them.

"May I ask if this is the young master of the Xiao Sect?" A burly man, at the very front asked respectfully.

"Who are you?" Xiao Kuangyun tilted his half-opened eyes to look at him.

"I ... I am the governor of Floating Cloud City. My lowly name is Situ Nan. When I heard that the noble guest of the Xiao Sect came, I came. "Situ Nan's voice started to tremble and cold sweat ran down her forehead. As the governor of Floating Cloud City, he had seen many important figures, but there was no important figure he had witnessed at all in front of this young master of the Xiao Sect. The arrogant young man in front of him was only mediocre in terms of appearance, but just a word from him would spell his death.

"This humble servant is Yuwen Ba. I have been good friends with the Xiao Clan clan master for many years. I came ... to admire the elegance of young master Xiao Sect. I also brought some small gifts, I hope the young master will receive them. "The head of the Yuwen family, who was equally famous among the Xiao Clan and Floating Cloud City, also rushed forward, his face full of respect. His hand offered a small and delicate jade box.

Xiao Kuangyun turned his gaze to the jade box and then swept the two people behind him. “Accept that. ”

One of the people behind him immediately stepped forward and expressionlessly took the jade box into his hand.

Seeing that the young master of the Xiao Sect had actually received his gift, Yuwen Ba's face was filled with happiness. Other people who wanted to forge a small relationship with the Xiao Sect rushed forward to give their own gifts .. Xiao Kuangyun did not reject anyone and accepted all the gifts without question. Then, with narrowed eyes, he carelessly said, “You all back off. It's a little late today. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Really, right! Young Master Xiao traveled to land and water to come here. He must be exhausted. We will return tomorrow after Young Master Xiao rests. "Situ Governor said while nodding his head.

Only then did the crowd disperse.

Xiao Yunhai and the five elders respectfully introduced Xiao Kuangyun to the Xiao Clan. Xiao Yunhai said to them: "The four noble guests of the Xiao Sect have traveled this way and should be exhausted. Do you want to rest a little bit first? An elegant residence has been prepared. ”

"No need, my body is not so weak. "Xiao Kuangyun swept his gaze over the Xiao Clan as the corner of his mouth stretched out, revealing it was hard to hide the humiliation. He then enthusiastically said: “If it wasn't for Elder Xiao Zheng's death, I wouldn't even know there was this kind of place. I heard that the ancestor of this place is a piece of trash that was expelled by our Xiao Sect. However, no matter how trashy, it was still someone from the Xiao Sect. Even if he was a piece of trash that the Xiao Sect did not want, he could still be a king in a place like this. To be able to grow like this for so many years, it was still not bad. ”

"Yes yes . Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Xiao. ”

Facing Xiao Kuangyun's naked humiliation and humiliation, Xiao Yunhai still nodded to express his gratitude. How could he dare to reply a little?

“The dead are important. The reason I personally came here is also to fulfill Elder Xiao Zheng's last wish. We clearly state our purpose to you in our letter. Tomorrow morning, have everyone in your clan gather in this courtyard. None of them should be missed. I will personally choose one to bring us back to the Xiao Sect. "After saying this last sentence, Xiao Kuangyun raised his head high as if he was announcing a lucky decree of heaven.
