Xiao Xiangcheng frowned slightly. In his opinion, the benefits that he had given should be what the Xu Family needed the most right now, and it should also be something the Xu Family would not reject.Putting everything aside, even if Xu Xuan became the City Lord Palace"s Protector, if he went out, his status would be extremely revered. Adding the power and properties of the Xu family, his status would only rise steadily.
But surprisingly, Xu Xuan did not immediately agree.
"Oh, what is it? Just say it, in this Cloud City, I think there is nothing that I can"t handle right now. "
Xiao Xiangcheng waved his hand at Xu Xuan and said.
"Cough cough, in this Cloud City, I don"t doubt City Lord Xiao"s abilities in the slightest. I believe that City Lord Xiao has also heard of Clan Chief Xiao Qin being accepted as a disciple by an elder of Mountain Sect, right?"
Xu Xuan coughed lightly. That three year agreement was getting closer and closer, and he did not have the slightest confidence in being able to get rid of Duan Choufeng"s dog head three years later. If he was unable to kill the other party by then, he had no doubt that Duan Choufeng would make the Xu Family pay a heavy price.
Hearing that, Xiao Xiangcheng could not help but laugh bitterly in his heart, how could he not know about this? In fact, when he was young, he had also partic.i.p.ated in the selection of new disciples in the Mountain Sect before, but was eliminated.
It was easier said than done, even if it were the people who came to partic.i.p.ate in the selection, the number of geniuses with tenth stage profound energy were still as many as the hairs on a cow. One must know, that was one of the three colossal beings in the entire empire, and he, at that time, was only at the peak of the eight stages of mystical Qi.
Therefore, he did not partic.i.p.ate in the selection of the other small sects, and instead returned back to the Cloud City. Following the increase of his strength, in this remote place, he established his own power and led a comfortable life. As long as the eighteen small towns below were not too chaotic, he did not want to manage them too much.
In the current Xiao Xiangcheng"s heart, the biggest threat to his City Lord"s Mansion was not the Xu Family. Although the Xu Family had limitless potential, the Xu Family did not have any backing, and Xiao Family was not only very strong in power, Xiao Liang"s ambition was extremely ambitious, and he was also very much connected to the Mountain Sect.
"Un, I won"t hide it from you. If not for the fact that Xiao Qin is in Mountain Sect, according to her ambitions, I might have killed him a long time ago!"
After thinking about it, in order to obtain Xu Xuan"s trust in him, Xiao Xiangcheng actually did not conceal anything, and told his what he was thinking in his heart.
Hearing that, Xu Xuan was also startled, he never thought that Xiao Xiangcheng had such a plan, his heart was moved, could it be that Xiao Xiangcheng wanted to rope him in, to let him stand on the same side as him?
"I think you want to talk about the Xiao Family annulling the engagement, I also heard that it was indeed the Xiao Family"s fault, but now it seems that it was all their fault right? Since the marriage has already been annulled, what are you worried about? "
Xiao Xiangcheng said in a somewhat confused manner. It was obvious that this was a matter that the Xu family would be ashamed of. The matter of the Xu family cancelling the engagement, the power of the Cloud City at that time, had all been known by everyone.
The only thing that didn"t spread out was that Xu Xuan had threatened to kill Duan Choufeng three years later, and wanted him to kill an immortal. If not, in the eyes of many in Cloud City, this would inevitably be another ridiculously huge joke.
Xu Xuan smiled bitterly, thought for a while, then looked at Xiao Xiangcheng with a solemn expression: "If I were to tell you, when we broke the engagement back then, Mountain Sect"s Duan Choufeng was extremely aggressive, bullying our Xu Family. I said before, this person must be killed three years later, would you still dare to let me join the City Lord"s Palace?"
When the City Lord"s Mansion people heard this, they all started to discuss, "Oh my G.o.d, there"s actually such a thing. Isn"t this kid just courting death?"
That"s right, to think he could even think of killing an elder of the Mountain Sect!
"Uh, this brat"s Inherent skill is so astonishing, what I find strange is that when he said those words, why did Duan Choufeng still leave him alive at that time, is he not afraid that Xu Xuan would one day obtain an opportunity?"
"Uh, it seems like at that time, this kid was still trash. The almighty Duan Choufeng, was an elder of the Mountain Sect, and in his eyes, even if he had tenth stage of profound energy, he was still an existence like an ant. Isn"t that lowering your status? "
"This is an extremely disgraceful matter. This boy must be afraid of implicating our City Lord"s Mansion if he says so now. Hmm, it seems that this kid has some conscience after all."
"I think forget about it, the position of chief protector is that important, and furthermore, he"s just a little brat, it"s better if he doesn"t become one, and it"s best if he doesn"t join the City Lord"s Mansion!"
All kinds of discussions could be heard. Although Xu Qingtian, Xu Qinglong and the rest did not speak, their expressions were heavy, had to say that in order to protect the dignity of the Xu Family, he did not say those harsh words. At the moment, if it were not for that, the Xu Family would have at most given Xiao Liang those thousand Qi Gathering Pill s, and the rest would just be nothing.
The current Xu family had to take out a thousand Qi Gathering Pill. After looting the three great families, they could take them out completely.
Only, in Xu Xuan"s heart, the Xu Family"s dignity was not to be trampled upon, including by anyone else. Thus, even if he could reverse the flow of time, he would still persevere in making his choice.
Xiao Xiangcheng looked at Xu Xuan, and could not help but frown, and fell into silence, he stared straight into Xu Xuan"s eyes that did not have any fear, and finally asked indifferently: "Duan Choufeng did not kill you at that time?"
"Despicable!" At that time, in his eyes, I was just an ant, and maybe I am now too! "
Xu Xuan said honestly.
Xiao Xiangcheng nodded: "Then, what did he say about the three year agreement?"
"Either I kill him, or my Xu Clan will be destroyed!"
"Kid, you"re under a lot of pressure. It"s been half a year now, right?" Xiao Xiangcheng paused, "Are you confident?"
"Yes!"
Xu Xuan didn"t hesitate at all. In fact, no matter if he had the confidence or not, he had no choice.
Xiao Xiangcheng revealed a somewhat praising look: "If I were to tell you that ten years ago, Duan Choufeng would have been at the Mysterious Foundation Stage Late Phase, would you still have confidence now?"
was slightly startled, and couldn"t help but to frown. His heart was filled with shock, and he didn"t expect that Xiao Xiangcheng had some understanding of the realms behind it. Of course, he didn"t know that this was news that Xiao Xiangcheng had gathered while he was waiting for the Mountain Sect selection.
Ten years ago, this Duan Choufeng had already reached the Mysterious Foundation Stage Late Phase realm. Then the current Duan Choufeng, maybe he had already reached the great perfection of the Mysterious Base Realm, or even broken through to the Dan Profound Realm? This was out of Xu Xuan"s expectations.
In Hong Sha"s fragmented memories, although this Mountain Sect was a large sect of the Xuanyu Dynasty, it was nothing in the entire continent, even if it was the sect master of the Mountain Sect, he was not very high, but Duan Choufeng"s cultivation was actually so high.
Xu Qingtian, Xu Qinglong and the rest all took in a deep breath. Xu Xuan had already told them about the situation on the continent, including the rank of cultivation technique, the rank of cultivation as well as other things related to the Profound Skills, allowing them to understand that this world was very big. That Duan Choufeng was not undefeatable, but Xiao Xiangcheng"s words still caused the two of them to be shocked.
Xu Xuan slightly paused for a moment, then revealed a slight smile, his eyes full of insanity: "Hehe, wouldn"t this be more challenging?"
"You mean, you have confidence?"
Xiao Xiangcheng"s eyes flashed with a bright light, it was as if the hot blood that was about to cool down back then had returned back to his body. He also had a hot blood craving to become an immortal, but after so many years had pa.s.sed, he was about to cool down the hot blood in his heart.
"Haha, don"t we still have two and a half years? "Although it"s a little difficult, I like it!"
Xu Xuan laughed out loud, as if he was talking about something extremely easy. It was an inconceivable thing, but with the Five Spiritual Arts, the help of the Nine-Swallowing Divine Jade, and Hong Sha"s comprehension in cultivation, he believed that there was still a great possibility for him to do such a thing.
"Haha, it"s been a long time since I"ve gone crazy. Our City Lord"s Mansion welcomes you!"
What was even more surprising, was that Xiao Xiangcheng also laughed out loud together with him. He had placed his entire fate on Xu Xuan, and if Xu Xuan was able to do it, it would mean that Xu Xuan would be able to reach a terrifying cultivation level in two and a half years. And the Xu Xuan at that time, might not even be able to give him some benefits.
"Heavens, have the two of them gone crazy!?"
Huang Daniu"s eyes were about to fall to the ground, it was his first time seeing such a crazy thing, especially that Xu Xuan, after knowing Duan Choufeng"s high cultivation, he still had such confidence, he was truly a crazy guy.
"Oh my G.o.d, what"s going on with the Mayor? Isn"t this just causing huge trouble for the City Lord"s Mansion? "
There were even people who did not understand what Xiao Xiangcheng was thinking. This City Lord who did not follow common sense truly made them want to cry but had no tears.
"Haha, great!"
Xu Xuan laughed out loud. Suddenly, he met a guy who was as crazy as him, and he felt like he appreciated his friend"s kindness. He extended his hand, and smashed it into Xiao Xiangcheng"s palm.
Xu Qingtian and Xu Qinglong looked at each other, their faces filled with joy. Although the enemy was in front of them, if their confidence in defeating them disappeared, how could they face them? Men should have their own backbone. Men should have this responsibility and this confidence.
In the face of such a crisis, the Xu family did not expect the mayor to still dare to allow Xu Xuan to join them.
"Ye Kong, send the word. Good wine and good dishes, the best! "Haha!"
Looking at Ye Kong who was still in shock and as if he was in a dream, Xu Qinglong started laughing out loud. This time, in Cloud City, the Xu family no longer needed to worry about the City Lord Palace.
