Chapter 60: Ice Emperor Breaks the Seal The other forces in Wutan City only knew that a Dou Wang strongman had entered the Xiao family's territory, but they were not sure what the relationship between that Dou Wang strongman and the Xiao family was. They were suspicious of each other and tried to find out the in the Xiao family, everyone was in joy. The hall, which was originally used for discussing matters, was converted into a dining room. A large round table was filled with sumptuous dishes, and those sitting on it were all prominent figures in the Xiao family. "Pass the order down. Today is the first day that the Xiao family's talent returns. All servants' wages this month will be increased tenfold! Hahahaha, as for the Xiao family members, they won't go home until they are drunk tonight!" In the hall, Xiao Zhan stood at his seat with a glass of wine and laughed loudly. "Thank you, sir. I'll go pass the message right away." The butler at the side said with a happy look on his face and bowed. Now that Xiao Yun has returned, the Xiao family's strength will surely be further enhanced, and they, the servants, can be considered part of the Xiao family. As the Xiao family's strength grows, they will also be able to gain a lot of benefits. Qing Lin and Xiao Yan sat on either side of Xiao Yun respectively. As for Xiao Yixian, since she didn't like the lively scene, she went back to the courtyard to rest. The Great Elder sat next to Xiao Zhan, his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum, with all the wrinkles on his face piled up together, and said: "I said that Xiaoyun would come back, right? Xiao Yan, you little brat didn't believe it. Humph, now see if your cousin is back?" While speaking, his turbid eyes kept looking at Xiao Yan on the other side, which made him feel very uncomfortable. "How could I... I just think that my cousin's cultivation is more important, and I'm worried that it would be a waste of time for him to come back." After hearing what the Great Elder said, Xiao Yan smiled awkwardly and quickly explained to Xiao Yun beside him. "Stop talking about this. Let's all eat. Xiaoyun, why are you just standing there? Let's eat." Seeing his son's embarrassed look, Xiao Zhan quickly spoke up to stop him and asked everyone to skip this topic. Xiao Yun watched with a smile. He could feel the joy and excitement of the people in front of him. He said, "We are all members of the Xiao family. Since this is related to my cousin's cultivation, how can I not come out?" "Yes, thank you, cousin!" Xiao Yan nodded vigorously. Now that Xiao Yun has returned, as a sixth-rank alchemist, he will definitely be able to figure out the reason why his fighting spirit has dissipated.
Just when everyone was chatting happily with Xiao Yun, no one noticed that a black ring on Xiao Yan's right hand suddenly flashed a faint light. …… With the deliberate publicity of the Xiao family, the news of Xiao Yun's return quickly spread throughout Wutan City, and even had the momentum to spread to the surrounding cities. I believe that soon, the entire Gama Empire will remember Xiao Yun's name! A thirteen-year-old Dou Wang and a sixth-rank alchemist, everyone in the Jia Ma Empire will understand that a golden phoenix has flown out of this small, broken Xiao family. The leaders of various forces in Wutan City were feeling uneasy but also a little happy. Xiao Yun's return was an opportunity for them. If they could board the Xiao family's ship now, they would really reach heaven in one step in the future. Otherwise, they would go straight to hell! Therefore, they prepared their most precious gifts and presented them to the Xiao family in order to get a chance to rise to the top overnight. But not everyone thinks so. In a meeting hall in the territory of the Oba family, one of the three major families in Wutan City. As the current patriarch of the Oba family, Obapa sat in the first seat, looking at the aggressive Galebi, and pretended to ask, "Galebi, why don't you stay in your Gale family and come to me?" "Hmph, Obapa, stop playing dumb. Don't you know why I came?" With a cold snort, Jialebi sat opposite Obapa and sneered, "Now that Xiao Yun is back, what do you think our two families should do in the future?" "Don't forget, we have competed with the Xiao family for a lot of business over the years. Do you think that old fox Xiao Zhan will forget about our two families?" Wutan City is just a small city with little cake. If the Xiao family eats more, the other two families will eat less, which they are certainly not happy about. Before Xiao Yun became famous, although the three major families did not fight each other, the small frictions among them never stopped. However, after Xiao Yun became famous, the Jialie family and the Oba family restrained themselves a lot, but this did not mean that the grievances between them and the Xiao family were written off! Hearing this, Obapa just looked at him calmly, smiled helplessly, and said resignedly: "Oh, I saw Xiao Yun fly into Wutan City with my own eyes today. With his strength, it would be easier for him to crush our two families than to crush an ant. What else can we do? If you want to blame someone, just blame our two families for not producing a monster like Xiao Yun." This cowardly old man! Jialebi glared at Obapa, and after a while, he slapped the table in front of him hard, breaking it into pieces, and said hatefully: "Alright! I don't believe that Xiao Yun, as a Dou Wang strongman, would bully the weak and kill me, Jialebi! The Xiao family wants to dominate Wutan City, and my Jiale family will never sit idly by and wait for death!" After saying that, Galeb stood up and left without saying another word. A moment later, the meeting hall of the Galie family was filled with powerful figures of the Galie family. They seemed to be waiting for something. When they saw Galiebi pushing the door in, they all showed anticipation on their faces. "Chief, has Obapa been fooled?" As soon as Galebi came in, an old man dressed in the clothes of the Gale family couldn't wait to ask. "That old fox Obapa, huh, probably didn't take the bait. Even though I said that we would fight the Xiao family to the death, he didn't show any intention of expressing his stance." Galbi, who had been furious just now, said calmly. It was obvious that he was just performing in front of Obapa. "Since the Oba family won't take the bait, then we'll give up all the family's market businesses and move on to other places to open a casino." Hearing this, the other members of the Gale family all nodded. Previously, the casino business in Wutan City had always been controlled by the Oba family. Now opening a casino is to compete with the Oba family for a share of the pie.
It is always better to compete with the Oba family than with the Xiao family. As for competing with the Xiao family, he, Jialebi, is not really stupid. If Xiao Yun is unhappy and really beats him to death, where can he go to cry? "Also, prepare a generous gift for me. I will visit the Xiao family tomorrow and then talk to that old fox Xiao Zhan about the transformation of my Jialie family."... Xiao Yun's return undoubtedly disrupted the original three-way balance of power in Wutan City, but the culprit at this time was feasting at the banquet. "Cousin, you must be able to figure out what's wrong with my body, right?" Xiao Yan, who was sitting next to Xiao Yun at the round table, asked in a low voice, his eyes full of anticipation. As Xiao Yan, the former number one genius of the Xiao family, and the young patriarch, he was able to call the shots in the Xiao family and was praised to the sky. Even when he walked, he looked up. But now, his fighting spirit inexplicably dissipated, and he fell from heaven to earth in an instant. The younger generations in the family no longer respected him and some even looked down on him. There were also rumors in Wutan City that he had done something bad and was punished by the gods. Xiao Yan is in great pain now. He has to endure strange looks from others every day, and no one can check his physical condition. Therefore, he puts all his hopes on Xiao Yun, hoping that Xiao Yun can restore his talent. "Me too..." Just when Xiao Yun was about to answer his question, suddenly a strong aura burst out from the back mountain of the Xiao family, and the next moment, a cold current spread in the hall. "Congratulations, Mr. Hai, for returning to the level of Dou Huang." Xiao Yun stood up, waved his hand and sent out a stream of Dou Qi to block the cold current for everyone, then clasped his fists and smiled towards the empty door. When everyone heard Xiao Yun's words, they hurriedly followed his movements and looked towards the gate. The next moment, a white-haired old man suddenly appeared at the gate. "Hahaha, it is all thanks to Master Xiao's elixir that I will be able to return to the status of Douhuang one day." Waving his hand, taking all the cold current back into his body, Hai Bodong walked in with a big laugh. Looking at Hai Bodong, who had recovered his strength but was still the same as before, Xiao Yun breathed a sigh of relief. This saved him the trouble of activating the strange fire in the pill. "Now that Hai Lao's strength has been restored, I wonder what his plans are?" "I'm going to go back to the Mittel family first. I haven't been back for decades, and I don't know how those people are doing." Hai Bodong's face showed a nostalgic look. In the past, his cultivation was sealed and he was too embarrassed to go back. Now that his strength has been unlocked, of course he wants to return to his family to see his old friends. "How about this, Hai Lao, I will also be heading to the Gama Holy City in a few days to take the sixth-grade alchemist assessment. How about we go together?" Xiao Yun said with a smile. He was going to the Gama Holy City not only to take the sixth-grade alchemist assessment, but also to get the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva of the Nalan Family. My teacher, Elder Huo, has been stuck at the level of a fifth-grade alchemist for many years, simply because he does not have enough soul power. By taking the Seven Illusions Green Spirit Saliva which strengthens the soul, maybe he can break through to the level of a sixth-grade alchemist. "I couldn't ask for more. Then I will stay in Xiao's house for a few more days." Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong showed his joy. He didn't mind a few more days anyway. Going to the Holy City of Gama with Xiao Yun might help improve their relationship. …… Late at night, the welcoming banquet finally ended. Xiao Yun carried Qing Lin, who was sleeping soundly after drinking secretly, into his own courtyard. He looked at Xiao Yixian, who had walked out of the room after hearing the noise, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn't they arrange a place for you to stay?" "Hehe, they said there were no extra houses, so they let me sleep here." The little medical fairy in a white dress rolled her eyes at Xiao Yun. In the moonlight, she had a beautiful and ethereal temperament. "Uh, okay..." Xiao Yun shook his head helplessly. Is this the otherworldly version of assist? But his relationship with Xiao Yixian is not like that! They are both innocent. "Is that your sister in your arms?" Looking at Qinglin in Xiao Yun's arms, the Little Medical Fairy asked. "Yes, her name is Qinglin, she is the sister I adopted in the desert. This little girl drank alcohol secretly, and then this happened." Hearing this, the Little Medical Fairy walked forward, took Qinglin from his arms, and said with a smile: "I'll take her to sleep. As for you, you can sleep wherever you want." After that, she turned around and walked into the room, leaving Xiao Yun with a look of surprise. In fact, there is more than one room in this courtyard, but Xiao Yun has only known Xiao Yixian for a few days, and he is not yet comfortable living under the same roof with her. The situation is developing too fast and he can hardly accept it.
"Forget it, let's practice!" Xiao Yun sat cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, and began to practice silently in the courtyard. I've been with my girlfriend these past two days, so I haven't updated much, sorry
