Chapter 423 Xu Xiao

Yutingwei hurried down, Chen Mufeng looked gloomy, Li Chengliao took a sip of tea and said:

"Qianhu, what happened?"

Chen Mufeng turned around and said respectfully:

"My lord, it's just a small matter...please let me..."

Li Chengliao happily placed a cup of tea for him and said softly:

"Nothing is trivial, it's all family matter."

Chen Mufeng's face changed slightly and he quickly said:

"It's just that Miss Liu... had a childhood sweetheart. He was the son of a family in the town. His surname was Xu. He had some family property... His ancestor was the head of a town. The Liu family originally wanted to use Miss Liu to climb this branch. Why didn't they want to be beaten by the head of the family? I took a fancy to it and immediately changed my mind...causing some trouble..."

"oh?"

Li Chengliao suddenly smiled and said jokingly:

"It seems that I have become the dandy in the storybook who seizes his wife!"

Chen Mufeng suddenly felt embarrassed and whispered:

"Just now, the mansion sent two people to invite Miss Liu... but they were beaten out by that person. Although these two people have cultivation skills, they are no match for him."

As soon as these words came out, Li Chengliao's smile disappeared in an instant. He stared at the middle-aged man in front of him and said softly:

"On the territory of my Li family, I, Zhongmai, am the head of the family. I sent people to invite her, but she dares to beat them out? What does he think of my family!"

"Whether she wants to marry or not, I have never forced her to do anything. It is just a matter of one sentence. Why should it cause such embarrassment!"

Chen Mufeng was silent, lowered his head and said:

"My subordinates have sent Yu Tingwei over..."

"etc."

Li Chengliao frowned and replied:

"I finally got down the mountain. Don't make a big fuss. The clan uncles don't like these noises, but don't attract their attention. It really doesn't look good."

Chen Mufeng nodded repeatedly, and Li Chengliao said:

"Call the two Jade Guards and I'll go take a look myself."

He straightened Jinyi, and Chen Mufeng accompanied him down, saying:

"This young master of the Xu family is also strange. He used to be unable to speak. He has been trapped in the second level of fetal breath for many years. He only broke through in recent months and started to speak. Everyone praises him for his accumulated experience..."

…

The Liu Family Courtyard.

Although the Liu family has been in decline for many years, it has once been glorious. Although the courtyard is dark and old, it occupies a large area with gray bricks and gray. The stone table in the courtyard is exquisite. A woman is standing leaning on the stone table with a worried look on her face.

She has a beautiful face and a cold temperament, but her dark eyebrows are slightly furrowed, showing a trace of sadness. On the other side stands a strong young man, handsome and unrestrained, with amazing vigor.

"Wu Lang... you are too impulsive... The Li family is powerful and deep-rooted. They even have geniuses practicing within the sect and marrying the immortal clan. Why are you so offended?"

"When they come to the door, I can just find an excuse to deal with it. If you beat those two people out, wouldn't it be a big deal?"

Xu Wulang crossed his arms and shook his head, sneering:

"You don't understand, how many times can you make excuses to deal with it? As long as the eldest young master still covets you, he will eventually send people to entangle him. The Liu family will not let go of the opportunity to climb high branches, even if it makes a big fuss, he will retreat! "

"The Li family has a good reputation and strict rules. I'm afraid it won't cause too much trouble!"

Liu Lingzhen shook her head lightly and whispered:

"You haven't been out of the hospital for many years, and you were speechless before. You don't know the power of the Li family..."

"Don't worry!"

Xu Wulang laughed and said proudly:

"I have made a breakthrough in Qi training! The avenue is right in front of me!"

"What!"

Liu Lingzhen suddenly turned pale, and said with surprise and joy:

"It's only been a few years! You've made a breakthrough again!"

She paused and then said regretfully:

"It's a pity that it's two years late. You are already twenty-five years old, and the Xu family gave your eldest brother the spiritual energy of heaven and earth..."

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Wulang raised his eyebrows and said disdainfully:

"I still don't like that thing! It's just a [Dongquan Che Qi], I used a better one."

"It's just that my breakthrough was too fast and I can't reveal it to others yet. Although there are secret techniques to cover it up, there's no guarantee that the Li family will have any eye skills to see through it. I'll have to wait a few more years..."

He changed the topic and sneered:

"I'm just waiting for those lackeys to come to my door and dare to attack you and me in broad daylight. What's the use of Li Chengliao even if he is the eldest son? The people in the clan's main courtyard are watching eagerly. You can report it directly to Qingdu. He will cause a lot of trouble!"

Liu Lingzhen felt much calmer after hearing his words, and said softly:

"I'm just afraid that the clan's main court will protect me..."

"Hahaha."

Xu Wulang said with confidence:

"I have checked the records in the past few days. The Clan Chief Court has always promoted the powerful by reporting them... If there are mistakes, those with power must be held accountable first."

He sneered:

"As long as you and I stay in control, there is nothing the Yuting Guard can do to you! Even higher up, there is the Immortal Sect watching over us. We will uphold justice and will never let you or me suffer!"

Liu Lingzhen nodded ignorantly. After listening to his sweetheart's words, Xu Wulang's spiritual consciousness moved and he said in a deep voice:

"somebody is coming!"

Sure enough, there was a flattering voice from the elder of the Liu family from outside, the courtyard door was suddenly knocked, and there were two more creaks, and Mother Liu's voice came from outside:

"Zhen'er! Open the door quickly!"

Liu Lingzhen suddenly lost her temper and pulled Xu Wulang to ask him to leave, but Xu Wulang remained motionless and said coldly:

"It's too late. I'm afraid he can't see through my cultivation, so let him in!"

Mother Liu did not wait for her to open the door. She pushed the door open with a creak and came in. The leader was a young man, wearing a light-colored cassock and holding a gun behind him. He glanced at the two people's faces and waved his hands.

The middle-aged man behind him turned out to be at the fifth level of qi training. With just a push of his hand, he pushed a group of elder uncles from the Liu family out. The door slammed shut. The young man's eyebrows were very heroic and he only said:

"Li Chengliao of the Li family has met Taoist friend."

Liu Lingzhen suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Xu Wulang was also frightened for a moment. He never thought that Li Chengliao would come to the door in person and said to himself:

"Xu's family, Xu Xiao, has met the young master."

Li Chengliao just saw the two people flirting with each other, and immediately understood, the smile on his face did not diminish, and he said softly:

"Master Xu is such a good gesture. The Xu family finally turned out to be a hero."

Li Chengliao's words made Xu Xiao so full that he couldn't use any of his words. Liu Lingzhen was in a dilemma. Xu Xiao was stunned for two moments. Li Chengliao had already continued:

"It was the Liu family who reported the lady's name earlier, but they did something stupid! The two servants even took money from the Liu family and were busy inviting the lady over. Fortunately, Mr. Xu intervened and almost caused a misunderstanding!"

He said cheerfully:

"This time it is because of the lax discipline in my house. I have taken a place on the peak to supply the Xu family and Miss. I have sent someone there. I came here to apologize. I also ask Miss not to blame the house for the unintentional mistake."

Regardless of what happened to Xu Xiao, Liu Lingzhen was stunned for two breaths, with a happy expression on his face. He looked at him favorably and bowed to thank him. Xu Xiao lowered his head in agreement, and Liu Lingzhen was beaming with joy.

Li Chengliao stared at him with a strange look and went out neatly. A group of elders and relatives of the Liu family gathered around him and cried for him.

This group of people were playboys when the Liu family was in power, but now that they are old and taking the helm, they have made an even bigger mess. Li Chengliao walked out of the yard, shook off the cries of the Liu family members to persuade them to stay, and took Chen Mufeng away.

When Li Chengliao went out, Chen Mufeng seemed to have been holding back a lot of words in his heart until he fell into the main hall. The middle-aged man came close to his ear and whispered:

"Then Xu Wulang... really has the third level of fetal breath."

Li Chengliao's smile also disappeared, showing a puzzled expression, and said softly:

"Not to mention the bastards in the Liu family, Liu Lingzhen is really a fool among the losers. Fortunately, he has not made a marriage contract, otherwise there will be problems sooner or later."

"As for Xu Xiao...it's quite strange that this person suddenly rises."

Li Chengliao thought for a while and asked:

"Then please tell me carefully the news about Xu Wulang!"

Chen Mufeng also understood that the matter was serious and said quickly:

"This man is now twenty-five years old. He was born mute. He never left the door or took a step forward. Until he was twenty-one years old, he was only at the second level of fetal breath. It was only a few years ago that he suddenly opened his mouth and spoke, and his personality changed drastically. , Breakthrough cultivation level, just hiding it, only recently discovered that it has reached the third level."

Li Chengliao did the math and said doubtfully:

"Did this person have any chance?"

Doubts arose in his heart, and he turned around and asked:

"I remember that the head of the Liu family...is a miscellaneous monk, right?"

"Exactly."

After hearing his answer, Li Chengliao gently clasped his hands and said thoughtfully:

"Send someone to recruit him, buy him with some spiritual items, and let him test Xu Wulang."

Chen Mufeng was slightly startled, feeling that Li Chengliao's move was too cautious, and was a little disapproving of it. However, Li Chengliao had a distinguished status, so he still nodded and started to do it, leaving Li Chengliao standing in the hall, looking at the wind. The already cold tea:

"I want to see if a monster is causing trouble."

…

Liu's courtyard.

The Li family just went out, and Liu Ling said happily:

"He doesn't have the airs of aristocratic family! He's such a good person!"

‘Good guy? ’

Xu Xiao sighed in his heart. Li Chengliao's response was completely beyond his expectation. He thought bitterly:

‘What a skill to turn an enemy into a friend! No wonder the Li family can cover the sky with one hand on the lake, monopolize the spiritual fields, expropriate them by force, squeeze out every bit of spiritual rice, and rely on their connections to monopolize quotas. Only the children of his aristocratic family can enter the Immortal Sect to practice... and even sit down. Secure the position of this aristocratic family! ’

‘The young master looks polite on the surface, but who knows if he is holding a grudge in his heart? It seems that I can’t stay here for long, so I’d better leave early and go out to explore. It won’t be too late to come back and overthrow this overlord after cultivating the immortal foundation and magical powers...'

He whispered:

"Zhen'er, when you break through to practice Qi, we will go out and explore!"

This was something that Liu Lingzhen and he had been thinking about. At this moment, the woman hesitated again and said in a low voice:

"But... but now he has given me a place to practice on the mountain... Demonic disasters are raging outside, wouldn't it be good to receive salary in this safe place? The Li family is also very good... they never kill people to gain blood."

Xu Xiao sneered and used his magic power to transmit the message:

"Such a behemoth, if you think about it, you will know that he must have some shady activities. Li Ximing can practice so many elixirs, and he has not fallen behind in practice. Maybe it is because of the magic power and blood... He secretly hides the secrets from the Immortal Sect and kills people. , how can it be any better? If the Immortal Sect finds out, he will definitely not get any good results from him!"

Liu Lingzhen thought about it carefully and thought it made sense. She looked at him with admiration and Xu Xiao continued:

"Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to wait for you and me to travel around the world or worship at the Immortal Sect, and come back as the Purple Mansion, and replace it? Then let alone this salary, the entire South Bank will be yours and mine."

He was filled with strong self-confidence, which made Liu Ling really intoxicated. Compared with this, Young Master Li's politeness and unwillingness to cause trouble seemed inferior. She smiled and nodded vigorously.

Xu Xiao paused, always feeling a bit difficult to handle. Li Chengliao's performance was beyond his expectation. He could only turn over his hand and take out a pill, and whispered:

"You go to seclusion to break through now, take this medicine, and we will set off before you can practice your Qi. I will wait for you, Yu Jing."

Liu Lingzhen suddenly became excited and said doubtfully:

"But where did you come from...Don't go and steal from home..."

"Don't worry."

Xu Xiao said softly.

This person sent Liu Lingzhen into the backyard, and Xu Xiao was about to leave. The news of his breakthrough in Qi training was still hidden and could not be told to others, so he did not leave in the wind. Then he walked out of the room and saw an old man with a ferocious face. Standing in front of me with a look of color.

"Master Liu."

Xu Xiao despised him in his heart, but for Liu Lingzhen's sake he still asked, not expecting the old master to scold him when he came up:

"What a motherless bitch, seducing my daughter!"

A fierce look suddenly appeared on Xu Xiao's face, and he said viciously:

"For the sake of your daughter, respect this old guy like you, but don't be ungrateful!"

Old Man Liu was waiting for him. He immediately grabbed him with his palm and murmured curses. Xu Xiao grabbed the old man's arm with one hand and restrained his hand like an iron pincer. The old man couldn't withdraw his hand, and the other He used his hand to draw the sword from his waist.

Xu Xiao sneered, and held the sword with his other hand as fast as thunder, twitching and pushing, opening his lips, and spitting out a black obsidian fire.

Old Man Liu suddenly felt a stinging pain in his chest, and he quickly pulled out two talismans, but they were all burned completely in front of the fire. He felt that his whole body was weak, and his entire body seemed to be burned dry.

He screamed and seemed to be out of breath, but Xu Xiao didn't intend to make a fuss. He took a gentle breath, sucked the fire back into his belly, and said coldly:

"If you dare to cause trouble again... you will die a miserable death."

He turned over his hand, and a small black charm appeared in his hand. He slapped Old Man Liu on the chest and warned:

"If you dare to reveal my information, as long as you open your mouth, the fire will burn you completely!"

"Ho! Demon... Demon cultivator!"

Old Man Liu had never seen the world, and he only saw that this spell was dark and spooky. He was immediately frightened and called the magic cultivator. He closed his mouth under the other party's stern eyes and fell to the ground.

Xu Xiao sneered and walked away. Old Man Liu got up timidly, spat viciously, quietly slipped to the backyard, fell to his knees with a plop, whimpering and not daring to speak.

A Jade Court Guard also fell into the courtyard. His appearance was quite similar to Chen Mufeng. His eyes were full of shock and he murmured:

"Only this one move...only this one move..."

That black flame, not to mention Old Man Liu, felt a strong sense of threat even on his second level of Qi training, and he said with a pale face:

"Could he be a reincarnated person, or have some inheritance from an immortal! Chen has never seen such a genius!"

The Tingwei surnamed Chen had just finished speaking when he saw a figure leaning in front of the backyard door, but it was Xu Xiao who left and returned. The young man had a blazing black flame in his hand and looked at him with a sinister look:

"Chen Baihu...why bother meddling in other people's business..."

I'm packing up and going home during this time, so I'll be very busy tomorrow. I'll save a draft tonight, and I should be able to update it again in the next two days.

This plot is what I have always wanted to do - to see the protagonist who is destined to be born from another angle.
