Chapter 891: Appreciating Talent? Not That Simple
Hong family.
"Brother, we can't wait any longer!"
Hong Haoying, the father of Hong Yun who was killed by Xiao Yi, hurried to the head of the family, Hong Haoyan.
"They...didn't respond?"
Hong Haoyan, with a stern expression, did not respond, but looked at an elder of the Hong family.
The elder's expression was as ugly as if his father had died, and he shook his head slightly.
"Damn it!"
Hong Haoyan clenched his fist and shouted coldly.
He started to unite many forces since last night, trying to destroy the Xiao family, but until now, no one has responded.
Even the so-called staunch allies did not give any affirmative response.
"Big brother!"
Hong Haoying's eyes were bloodshot, he was not the head of the family, he could not put the overall situation first, all he had in his eyes was the hatred for his son's murder, he could not forgive him!
"The third child..."
Hong Haoyan's thoughts raced. His eldest son, Hong Zimo, was also killed by Xiao Yi. The hatred in his heart was a hundred times greater than that of Hong Haoying!
But as the head of the family, he cannot ignore the consequences!
"Master of the house."
An elder came in a hurry.
"Any response?"
Hong Haoyan's eyes lit up.
In his opinion, the reason why those allies did not move was that they were definitely waiting and watching. As long as one force allied with the Hong family, the others would surely be happy to get a piece of the pie.
He was very clear that all the forces were curious about Xiao Yi and the Xiao family.
In other words, that means the Xiao family might be hiding some secret great opportunity!
"No... not."
The elder shook his head in embarrassment.
"Yes... Wu Zhen and Qian Jun from Chixiao Pavilion have already arrived at the Xiao family. In addition, many family forces have also gone to the Xiao family..."
"Wu Zhen?"
Hong Haoyan repeated, his expression becoming more solemn. He could ignore other things, but he dared not ignore Wu Zhen.
"what happened?"
"Elder Wu actually went down the mountain?"
"They went to the Xiao family, could it be because of... Xiao Yi?"
The elders of the Hong family were discussing the matter, and their expressions changed.
For a moment, Hong Haoyan felt as if he was hit by a heavy hammer.
His first reaction was that it would be difficult to avenge his son's death today!
"Brother, if you don't go, I will go. I don't have to represent the Hong family!"
Hong Haoying couldn't hold back any longer.
The Chixiao Pavilion is powerful, but his desire for revenge has long since disregarded everything else.
After saying that, he turned and rushed outside, even knocking over two elders who were trying to stop him.
Just as he was about to rush out the door, a figure suddenly fell and blocked his way. It was Hong Taikang, the ancestor of the Hong family.
"Ancestor."
Hong Haoying bowed, still guessing what Hong Taikang's purpose was.
"Ancestor."
Hong Haoyan and others came forward one after another.
"I've heard everything, but now is not a good time to seek revenge."
Hong Taikang said slowly.
"But ancestor..."
Hong Haoying hurriedly opened his mouth, but Hong Taikang raised his hand to interrupt him.
"I am also saddened by the death of Zimo and Hongyun, but the situation is no longer in my favor..."
Hong Taikang stood with his hands behind his back, looking intimidating without even getting angry.
"Ancestor, even if the Xiao family is not destroyed, Xiao Yi must die, otherwise he will be a disaster for our Hong family in the future!"
Hong Haoyan said.
"Of course he's going to die!"
Hong Taikang's voice turned cold.
Hong Haoying, who was standing aside, had a ferocious look on his face and was even trembling all over. It’s not that he didn’t understand all this, but all he saw was hatred!
"Wait for the right moment!"
Hong Taikang's tone became more serious.
"Yes!"
Hong Haoyan suppressed the hatred in his heart and bowed to the elders in response.
"Haoying."
Hong Taikang looked at Hong Haoying.
"Yes."
Hong Haoying came to his senses and clenched his fists.
"Follow me to the back mountain."
Hong Taikang said.
Hong Haoying was stunned for a moment, but soon realized Hong Taikang's intention, which was not to put him under house arrest, but to give him guidance.
"Grandmaster, given my current state of mind, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to make any progress."
Hong Haoying frowned.
"Hatred is sometimes a good medicine."
Hong Taikang said this and looked at Hong Haoyan again.
"Let all the Hong family's strong men above the sixth level of the Xiantian realm go to the back mountain!"
"Yes!"
Hong Haoyan responded quickly, feeling quite excited.
Hong Taikang, who has not been out for a long time, has now greatly increased his strength, which will definitely be of great benefit to the overall strength of his Hong family...
……
Xiao family.
Today, the Xiao family is bustling with people.
The news of Wu Zhen's arrival from Chixiao Pavilion spread quickly, causing a huge uproar.
After lunch, Xiao Tianhua finally ended the meeting and sat alone with Xiao Yi in a living room.
"Xiao Yi, do you know why Wu Zhen is so eager to leave the mountain?"
Xiao Tianhua asked.
"It can't be all because of my strength."
Xiao Yi smiled and shook his head. He really wasn't that naive.
“Yes, and not entirely!
In addition to cherishing your talent, they just want to find some secrets from you besides your talent. Of course, I mean the secrets of cultivation."
Xiao Tianhua said.
"Normal... But I'm afraid they will be disappointed. I'm not someone who can be copied."
Xiao Yi shrugged.
"Well... Also, you may not know that the more prestigious a sect is, the more competition there is within it. This is actually a good thing for the sect itself."
"compete?"
Xiao Yi was startled and then reacted.
This is just like the ancient kings, most of whom knew the art of weighing pros and cons. Only in this way can their position be more stable.
"The eight elders of the Scarlet Sky Pavilion all have their own disciples, representing their own forces. Of course, there are also small groups... If Wu Zhen can take you under his wing, your future position will not be limited to the seventh seat..."
"Seventh seat? If he had the luck to accept me as his disciple, he would be the leader of Scarlet Sky Pavilion."
Xiao Yi said casually.
"But he really doesn't have that kind of luck."
"hehe."
Xiao Tianhua smiled.
"But Xiaoyi, whether you are willing to become his disciple or not, I still owe you this favor today."
"Favor? What favor? I rejected him, so I still owe him a favor?"
Xiao Yi was puzzled.
"No, I mean the Hong family."
Xiao Tianhua explained that he had received some news.
"Hong family?"
Xiao Yi was startled and then reacted.
"Will Hong Haoyan let go of his son's murder because of Wu Zhen's arrival?"
"Of course not, but not today, or for the time being."
Xiao Tianhua said.
Xiao Yi thought about it for a moment and nodded slightly. It seemed that he had no choice but to owe this favor.
He was not afraid of the Hong family, but he also did not want disaster to happen as soon as he returned to the Xiao family.
Even if he could win in the end, the Xiao family would inevitably suffer a heavy blow, and that was not what he wanted to see.
"I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, I'm afraid of thieves thinking about it..."
Xiao Yi muttered softly.
"what?"
Xiao Tianhua didn't quite hear it.
"I mean, it's too passive, why not..."
Xiao Yi paused.
"How about I take the initiative to eliminate this threat?"
"What I have always considered is not the Hong family, but the deep background of the Hong family in that place."
Xiao Tianhua reminded.
"that place?"
Xiao Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. If this were the case, things might not be that simple...
A bell rang.
"Lao Gu."
Xiao Yi answered.
"Boy, it's time to get going!"
Mr. Gu's voice was neither fast nor slow.
"it is good!"
Xiao Yi nodded.
"They have already set off, kid, try to keep a low profile..."
Old Gu reminded him, but he felt that it was useless to say anything, because this kid was not the kind of person who could keep a low profile.
"Haha, I always keep a low profile. Wait for my good news."
Xiao Yi smiled and hung up the phone.
"What's wrong, Xiaoyi? Is there something wrong?"
Xiao Tianhua saw something and asked.
"Uncle, do you know the Donghuang Bell?"
Xiao Yi asked.
"of course."
Xiao Tianhua nodded.
"Could it be... that the divine weapon has appeared in the world?"
"almost."
Xiao Yi thought about it for a moment.
"Uncle, do you want to go with your nephew?"
"it is good!"
Xiao Tianhua responded without any hesitation.
