Chapter 83: News of the Xiao Family’s Decision

In Yuanguang City, an astonishing news spread quickly. People rushed to tell that the Hong family would spend 10,000 gold coins to hold a wedding banquet for people named Hong Tong! Ten thousand gold coins were definitely not a small amount in this small Yuanguang City. Even the Qingluo family had never held a wedding banquet for one person so generously.

"Did the Hong family have cramps? Are you afraid of losing your energy when you bleed so much?"

"Yes, ten thousand gold coins are so terrible that I think about it. This is not like the timid style of the Hong family."

"In my opinion, something big will happen to the Hong family. Don't you think it's strange that Hong Tong is just the guardian of the Honghuang Palace of the Hong family, but he is treated like this?"

"There are a lot of articles, but can we guess just by talking about it here?"

People were discussing and arguing with each other, and putting forward various conjectures. Although they had different opinions, they all agreed that Hong Tong had an extraordinary origin and must be a hidden figure in the Hong family. However, no one knew what Hong Tong's background was.

At this time of discussion, the Xiao family, which is another major family in Yuanguang City, naturally received the invitation from the Hong family to attend the wedding banquet on the day of Jin Yaori.

Xiao Wanshan, the head of the Xiao family, was also quite shocked by the Hong family's actions. Not to mention that the Hong family's family is weak, but the sad strength is unpredictable. Without strength or financial resources, why should the Hong family hold such a grand wedding?

As the patriarch, Xiao Wanshan naturally cannot neglect the Hong family. Although the Hong family is now in a low strength, who dares to underestimate the Hong family's past strength? After thinking for a long time, he hesitated to take a photo of the elders of the clan going, or go in person. If he went in person, I am afraid the elders of the clan would definitely not agree. Just imagine, how could the head of a family congratulate a small family and a person with a low status?

However, what Xiao Wanshan was most worried about was his father's instructions before his death.

That day, Xiao Buming, the old leader of the Xiao family, died. When his life was in danger, he called Xiao Wanshan to the bed and said intermittently: "Son, I am now dead, and you will be the new leader of the clan in the future. As the leader, you must consider the entire family and not seek temporary benefits because of your own selfishness. Do you understand these?"

Xiao Wanshan suddenly knelt in front of the bed with his knees, held Xiao Buming's gradually cold palm in both hands, nodded heavily, and said in tears: "Dad, I've recorded it."

Hearing Xiao Wanshan's agreement, Xiao Buming, who had a few breaths left, coughed desperately for a few times, then gasped and breathed, his voice was low and hoarse: "There is another thing, the Hong family must not offend him. His ancestors - their ancestors are from a foreign land, with deep background - unfathomable -"

Speaking of this, Xiao Buming struggled twice, trying to finish the words he had not finished, but he was already exhausted. He just kicked his feet and closed his eyes, and how sad it was!

While walking in the study and recalling the past, Xiao Wanshan was filled with emotion. His father was full of heroism and had made friends with the ancestor of the Hong family. Unfortunately, the ancestor of the Hong family disappeared inexplicably without waiting for the friendship to heat up. Since then, the entire Hong family seems to have collapsed, and one day is getting worse, but the Xiao family has gradually surpassed the Hong family.

"My father's last words must not offend the Hong family. It must have his own reason. Although the Hong family is gradually declining now, every New Year, there are always a group of people who feel that the Hong family is not clear about its purpose. Judging from the strength of those people, although they are all young people, those who have reached the Taixu realm are only considered as soybean in that team."

After careful consideration, Xiao Wanshan's eyes slowly showed a firm light. The Hong family must go in person!

"Dad, why did you ask your child to come?"

Xiao Yao walked into the study room with a swagger, and said carelessly. It was just after dinner that morning, when he heard his father call him...

At this time, Xiao Yao looked handsome, wearing a white robe, shaking a gold folding fan with a flower-painting fan, flashing with the cool breeze in the late autumn, and randomly found a corner of the table to sit down, but ignored the serious chair.

"It's still like this. If you don't sit there, do you want to stick to the corner of the table to feel comfortable?" Xiao Wanshan's face looked slightly angry and scolded. Xiao Yao knew best. He was lazy and playful, and he looked for flowers and willows for no reason. He was really a wandering young man. If Xiao Wanshan had not used a large amount of medicinal materials to improve Xiao Yao's strength, Xiao Yao might not have even reached the Yuanqi Realm. In the end, he spent another Qixu Pill to forcibly improve Xiao Yao's strength to the Taixu Realm.

With Xiao Yao's cultivation attitude and the practice of fishing for three days and two days of drying the net, Xiao Wanshan was embarrassed in front of the elders many times. For this reason, Xiao Wanshan had more than once and severely punished Xiao Yao's difficult-to-change personality.

Xiao Yao smiled embarrassedly, then put away the folding fan, sat upright on the chair, pretending to be serious, "Haha, Dad, what's the matter? You can sleep for a while early in the morning!"

He gave Xiao Yao a blank look, Xiao Wanshan sat on the chair and leaned back, "There is a big deal, I don't know who to send, so why don't you come up with an idea? Let me also test whether you have made progress recently."

"Oh?" Xiao Yao became interested. It was a matter of competing for face in the clan. Although he was lazy, but who wouldn't rush to do something good? He smiled with a plea to death. Xiao Yao stretched out his head and supported his arms on the table. "Dad, just say it if you have something to do? Let's see if it's worth it. If it's not worth it, I can send my elder brother."

Xiao Wanshan also imitated Xiao Yao, supported his arms on the table, stretched his head and whispered, pretending to be mysterious: "Hehe, the Hong family had a great joy soon. Do you think I went there in person, or just send an elder to go on my behalf. Which of these two is better?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yao's head shook violently like a rattle, and laughed: "Both plans are not good. If you want me to tell me, I can just go there. Hehe, maybe I can get some points privately and keep them as a souvenir!"

"You boy!" Xiao Wanshan cursed angrily. Although he knew that Xiao Yao's words were jokes, his unjust appearance was extremely annoying. "It was Hong Tong from the Hong family who got married. Can you, a junior, show that my Xiao family value the Hong family? Besides, there is no one who deducts money and gifts. It's really outrageous!"

"Hehe, am I talking about it?" Xiao Yao returned to his normal expression, scratched his head with one hand, and then said seriously, "I think it's better for you to go there yourself. Hong Tong is not a simple person."

"Well? What do you know, kid? Come on!" When Xiao Wanshan heard that there was another mystery in Xiao Yao's words, he immediately became curious and could no longer bear Xiao Yao's snatching him away.

"From my years of experience in the Hong family, we can see that Hong Tong is definitely not a mortal. Even the famous and difficult elder dare not offend him. His status in the Hong family is indeed not as good as that of the elder. However, because of his honest and loyalty, he has won the favor of many people. Therefore, I advise you to go there yourself, as long as you bring me with you."

Seeing the Great Elder compromise, Hong Tong smiled proudly, "The Great Elder calmed down and I hope to forgive me for the offending of my words. My wedding invitation has not been distributed yet. You will be the one who will decide on the wedding banquet. There are 6,000 gold coins. I wonder if the Great Elder is willing?"

"What if I don't want to do it? If there is no other thing, leave quickly. I have recently relapsed and I feel unwell and can't keep you for a long time." The elder issued an order to expel guests, pretending to be uncomfortable and looked sad.

"Then let's say goodbye."

After leaving the Grand Elder's courtyard, Hong Meng walked behind, wondering, so he rushed over and asked, "Uncle Tong, don't you have Mr. Hong's help? Why do you still have to find the Grand Elder?"
