Chapter 1574 Xiao Xun'er Visits

Xiao Xun'er's well-informedness is incomparable to Xiao Zhan and the Xiao family.

So, when Xiao Xun'er knew that Lin Chaoci had returned.

Xiao Zhan and others still know nothing about it.

It was also because of this that Xiao Xun'er had time to buy and choose gifts, even though Xiao Zhan and others still knew nothing about these things.

Until Lin Chaoci took Xiaodie for a walk around the city.

I revisited the old place for about half an hour.

Afterwards, he returned to the Xiao family.

Xiao Zhan and others who received the news hurried over and saw Lin Chaoci, who had returned to his old residence, and his maid Xiaodie beside him.

"Go ahead and meet your parents."

"Then say goodbye."

"It may be several years before I see them again."

"If there is anything left unsaid, seize the opportunity and don't leave any regrets."

"These days, when you travel far away... no one can guarantee life or death."

“Maybe we’ll see each other again in a few years.”

"But maybe it will be decades before we see each other again."

"Or we may never meet again."

See Xiao Zhan, the first elder, the second elder, the third elder and others coming together.

Lin Chaoci turned his head.

He said this to Xiaodie who was standing beside him.

However, Lin Chaoci was never a dictatorial person, so after giving such an order, he gave Xiaodie a second choice: "Or, you can stay in the Xiao family, or stay in the Jia Ma Empire... In this way, if you want to see them, there are plenty of opportunities... and you don't have to take any risks by going to Zhongzhou with me."

That being said.

But Xiaodie only has one path in her mind.

That is to follow Lin Chaoci.

The type who won't turn back even if he hits a wall.

Therefore, Xiaodie immediately expressed her opinion: "Master, I am willing to go to Zhongzhou with you, even if it means death... As for my parents, please give me some time."

"It's okay, go ahead."

"That's great. I also want to discuss something with the clan leader."

Lin Chaoci waved his hand.

Watched Xiaodie walk out the door.

Then, he turned his attention to Xiao Zhan and others.

Turned sideways.

Cleared the way to the house.

He raised his hand and swung out a wave of fighting spirit.

He poured a glass of water for Xiao Zhan and others.

Then, he pulled over a chair and motioned Xiao Zhan and the others to sit down while smiling, "I hope the clan leader and elders will forgive me for the poor hospitality... I see this room is quite clean. Has anyone cleaned it?"

"You mean hygiene?"

The elder picked a topic, and then continued with it, "Considering that you may come back to visit in the future, after all, this is where you grew up and you should have a deep impression of it, so I took the initiative to arrange a few servants to come and clean once a week... Well, you don't have to worry about making a fuss or being unnecessary. It's just a matter of convenience. Besides, it's not every day, once a week, the frequency is not high... But, having said that, I have to say a few more words. I hope you can take a look in this room to see if there is anything missing. Although the servants responsible for cleaning are all servants of our Xiao family, there is no guarantee that there won't be those who are so bold as to take something away while cleaning."

Lin Chaoci laughed dumbly.

Waved his hand.

He thanked her and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Great Elder... I don't have much in this room. Although there are some furniture, it's not worth them stealing... But thank you for your kindness. I will pay attention."

Hearing this, the Great Elder sighed.

Can't hide the shame.

He said in a deep voice: "You said it was good intentions, but you are really giving me too much face. My useless grandson did such a bastard thing. Even if you don't pursue it, I still feel guilty."

"It's in the past."

"No need to mention it."

"Besides, I'm not happy even if I mention it."

"Are you right?"

Lin Chaoci smiled calmly.

He calmly changed the topic which was about to become boring.

Then, the conversation changed.

Talking about another matter: "You four are here together, I guess you have some questions for me... For example, why did I come back at this critical moment? Did something go wrong in Yunlan Sect?"

Xiao Zhan, whose thoughts were guessed, did not hide them any more.

Just like the three great elders.

He laughed awkwardly.

However, we must always come to a conclusion.

We can't let the topic get stuck here.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan became the icebreaker and admitted frankly: "I have this worry, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense... Two years ago, the apprenticeship banquet held by Yunlan Sect was so large that even I, the patriarch of a small inland city, heard about it. It is said that the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire sent people to support it, but there are also some rumors that the one who worshipped the master of the Yunlan Sect as a teacher was not a boy, but a girl... To be honest, I was quite panicked at first, but then I thought, maybe the little girl next to you worshipped the master of the Yunlan Sect as a teacher... It's a pity, just thinking about it, because we can't get in touch with you, we are afraid that your identity will be exposed and you will be assassinated by the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire. It can also be said that we are afraid that after your identity is exposed, the royal family of the Jia Ma Empire will see that they can't do anything to you, so they turn their spearheads and target our Xiao family... In short, we didn't dare to send anyone to get in touch with you."

"Xiaodie has good talent."

"During the assessment, I awakened the sword intent."

"I alarmed my senior sister... the leader of the Yunlan Sect as you call her."

"Anyway, after some twists and turns."

"Xiaodie takes me as her master."

"As for me, I was fortunate enough to be accepted as a disciple by the previous leader of the Yunlan Sect... In terms of seniority, I am the junior uncle of most people in the Yunlan Sect."

"It's funny to say that."

"When Xiaodie sees me, she calls me Uncle Master."

"Although she always calls me Master."

"It could also be that I just called it casually."

“But the seniority is indeed arranged like this.”

Lin Chaoci took a sip of water, and after Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he smiled and answered with a relaxed feeling. Then, he gave a new answer to Xiao Zhan's concerns: "The Jia Ma royal family is not that crazy. Besides, our Xiao family is also registered in the Yun Lan Sect's little book... The teacher can accept me as a disciple, and the senior sister can accept Xiao Die as a disciple, because our Xiao family's background has been verified by others. It is confirmed that we are not the lackeys of the Jia Ma royal family, so they let down their guard... Because of this, no kidding, the Jia Ma royal family can't find this relationship at all. There are only two people who know my real background, one is Master Yunshan, and the other is Senior Sister Yun Yun... Uh, of course, strictly speaking, it should be outsiders other than our own people."

"Since they are your Master and Senior Sister."

"Then we can't talk about outsiders."

Xiao Zhan said with relief.

But the third elder couldn't sit still anymore.

Because he is the person in charge of the Xiao family's defense.

The Xiao family was investigated thoroughly.

Why didn't he know?

However, facing the question from the Third Elder, Lin Chaoci and Xiao Zhan didn't need to reply, the First Elder had already spoken up, complaining: "It is said that the old Sect Master of the Yunlan Sect is already a Nine-Star Douhuang. Whether he comes or not, whether he leaves or not... Third Elder, if you can detect this, it's your ability!"

The corner of the third elder's mouth twitched.

But I still wisely chose to keep my mouth shut.

Because even though it sounds harsh, it is indeed the truth.

If only he had that ability.

The patriarch of the Xiao family is no longer Xiao Zhan.

The Xiao family will no longer live in Wutan City.

"OK OK."

"In front of the children."

"Why talk about these useless things?"

The second elder stepped forward to smooth things over.

It lightened the atmosphere a bit.

Then, based on what he had just seen, he asked the question he wanted to ask: "From what I heard from your conversation with that little girl, are you guys leaving?"

"Experience."

"read more, walk more."

“I’m really not that old.”

“But out and about.”

"It depends on the ability to get things done, or in other words, it depends on the individual's strength."

Lin Chaoci could see the second elder’s worry at a glance.

Taking the initiative gives the opponent a reassurance.

Then, he explained, "Master also agreed with this matter. Although Senior Sister disagreed, she was still persuaded by Master... Before leaving, Master gave Xiaodie and me some necessary self-protection methods, so Xiaodie and I are guaranteed to be safe. Second Elder, you and the clan leader, first elder, and third elder can rest assured... You all know my temperament. I don't fight or compete. I take things as they come. I won't take that risk if I know I can't win."

Hear this.

Xiao Zhan and others looked at each other.

A silent consensus was reached.

Xiao Zhan then spoke up and sighed, "Well, we believe that you are..."

"Of course, there is no end to the experience."

"Wherever you go is where you are."

"If you can't, come back."

"So, I came here, saying it was on the way or not, but it wasn't intentional."

"On the one hand, it gives Xiaodie a chance to say goodbye."

"Going to Yunlan Sect and traveling far away are two different things."

"The Yunlan Sect is far away."

"If you want to come back, you can come back anytime... the journey is fixed."

“But if you travel far, there are too many uncertainties.”

"I'm fine as a fighter."

"She is a rookie at the eighth level of Dou Qi... I can only say that it is necessary for her to say goodbye. Even though she is still young and may not have considered everything, I don't want her to regret it in the future, such as not saying goodbye or something like that, which would have an impact on her state of mind."

“The other part is that I want to come back and take a look.”

"See how Xiao Yan is doing."

"There are also Xiao Ning, Xiao Yu, Xiao Li and others."

"Two years."

“They should have made some progress, right?”

Lin Chaoci stated the purpose of his visit.

Xiao Zhan and the others were so shocked that they were stunned and scratched their heads and sighed.

Lin Chaoci didn't even know what he said was wrong.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhan's resistance is relatively high.

After sighing, quickly adjust your mindset.

despite this.

The bitterness in his tone was still hard to conceal: "It seems that sending you to Yunlan Sect was the right thing to do... You are only eight years old, and you have already become a Dou Shi. Including the little girl who has always been by your side, she has also reached the eighth stage of Dou Qi... Yan'er is the most outstanding. So far, she has only reached the eighth stage of Dou Qi. There is really no comparison. I am embarrassed to say it out loud. The gap in cultivation is really too big!"

"The clan leaders are too embarrassed to speak up."

"I don't have the face to say that."

The Great Elder said so.

Although nothing was said.

But it seems like everything has been said.

The second elder held his forehead and avoided the question.

The third elder wanted to speak.

But he chose from among his own grandchildren.

I decided to give up the option of Xiao Mei.

Are you kidding? An eight-year-old genius like Xiao Yan, who was at the eighth level of Dou Qi, pales in comparison, making Xiao Zhan too embarrassed to speak, or even to ask Xiao Yan to come and meet Lin Chaoci. As for his granddaughter, Xiao Mei, who was only seven years old and at the third level of Dou Qi, there was no need for her to jump out and embarrass herself. She was really not presentable.

In addition, the progress of the little maid was so fast that it was astonishing.

Yes.

The little maid is fourteen years old.

Celebrated birthday.

According to the lunar age, it is also called fifteen years old.

The eighth level of fighting spirit.

I can only say that he has talent, but it's not very high.

Because a cultivator like her, any one picked out from the many good seedlings left by the Xiao family, can reach similar standards.

Because the Xiao family’s coming-of-age ceremony is an assessment.

Fifteen.

Fighting Qi level seven or above.

If you meet the requirements, you can stay in the Xiao family and continue your practice.

If you are not satisfied, then there is no need to practice.

Assign you some miscellaneous items.

Let you deal with it.

Of course, if you want to practice, that’s fine, but you’ll be responsible for all your resources by yourself. Anyway, the family won’t support you.

But if you count the time spent on cultivation.

That’s another matter.

Because Xiaodie has been practicing until now.

It’s only been more than two years in total.

Those extra months are not important, just treat them as a fraction. Anyway, it's less than half a year, so roughly count it as two years, which is reasonable and logical.

Two years of fighting spirit at the eighth level.

Compared to the Xiao family's children who started practicing at the age of six, and started taking tests at the age of fifteen, and after nine years, they reached the standard of the seventh stage of Dou Qi, even if the Yunlan Sect has more and better resources than the Xiao family, and Xiaodie is a disciple of Yunyun, the current sect master of the Yunlan Sect, and any good things will definitely be given to her first, but they are still very clear about the difference between two years and nine years.

Be clear about what this gap means.

However, Xiao Zhan and others still curbed their desires.

No demands were made to Lin Chaoci.

For example, ask Lin Chaoci to help arrange a group of Xiao family members into the Yunlan Sect so that they can enjoy better resources and treatment from the Yunlan Sect.

Instead, he avoided this sensitive topic.

Consider it.

Xiao Zhan said, "Remember, this is always your home... You are not alone. Even if other clan members cannot help you much, or even cannot help you at all, if you need us, don't hesitate to ask... The Xiao family is now supported by me and the elders, but one day, the Xiao family will be handed over to you, Yan'er, Ding'er, Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu, a group of young people. You are the most precious future of the Xiao family!"

"Okay then, we won't nag you anymore."

"It won't affect your visit plan."

"Running around all day, rest early."

The Great Elder nodded slightly to Xiao Zhan.

Afterwards, he and the second and third elders said goodbye tacitly.

And it was shortly after the four people left.

Not even ten minutes.

Xiaodie hasn't come back yet.

The knock on the door sounded again.

"come in."

Lin Chaoci, who had already expected everything, looked towards the door.

Xiao Xun'er, who had changed into a green dress, pushed the door open and walked in upon hearing that.

He looked into Lin Chaoci's eyes for a moment.

Then, raise your hand.

Shake the small box.

He raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "You don't seem curious that I would come to visit you?"

"if you need."

"I can also pretend to be curious."

Lin Chaoci played a rather abstract humor.

Then, he gestured, "Please sit anywhere...Are you used to drinking plain water?"

Please subscribe.
