"Xiao Yujin is my cousin, who is known as the most outstanding cultivator of our generation. The head of the family is old, and he went crazy a few years ago. Although he saved his life, his energy is getting worse and worse. Therefore, many affairs in the clan are left to Xiao Yujin to take care of." Xiao Yutang said.
"Then he is the young master?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"No." Xiao Yutang shook his head.
"Then who is the young head of the family, or who has the most hope of taking the position of the young head of the family?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"Because there is some controversy between several elders and the protector, the candidate for the Young Patriarch has not been decided. In terms of identity and strength, he and I both hope to become the Young Patriarch." Xiao Yutang said.
After hearing this answer, Gu Qingxi didn't need to ask any more questions.
This kind of intrigue and even fratricide for the position of the head of the family is too common in wealthy families. You don't need to think about it to know that Xiao Yujin held a family competition in advance, and most likely it was for Xiao Yutang.
"Business matters, then go back quickly." Gu Qingxi said to Xiao Yutang.
Demon cultivators have always been decisive in killing, especially when it comes to the fight for the position of the head of the family.
If it is a family of immortal cultivators, their lives will often not be in danger if they fail to seize the throne. If they are lucky, they can take some family property and establish a new family. Hundreds and thousands of years later, they will create a more powerful family.
But the Demonic Cultivator Family is different. If they fail to seize the throne, they may be eliminated by their opponents to avoid future troubles.
If Xiao Yutang goes back early, he can also prepare early.
"Qingxi, why don't you go back with me?" Xiao Yutang thought for a while and said to Gu Qingxi.
Hearing this, before Gu Qingxi could answer, Di Feixue's face turned cold.
What, he actually asked Qing Xi to go back with him? In the Xiao family's family competition, what is Qing Xi doing as an outsider? Meeting the elders?
Is this Xiao Yutang trying to steal Sister Qingxi from me? The toad wants to eat swan meat, but he doesn't know what kind of character he is, and he dares to take advantage of Sister Qingxi.
Di Feixue glared at Xiao Yutang fiercely. If looks could kill, it would be more than enough for Xiao Yutang to die a hundred times.
"You don't want me to support you, do you? But that is your Xiao family's family competition. It's not appropriate for me as an outsider to intervene, right?" Gu Qingxi was also a little confused.
If Xiao Yutang relied on his own help to defeat his cousin in the family competition, even if he could take the position of the young head of the family, he would definitely be despised and that position would never be secure.
Although Xiao Yutang's dog-licking attribute was fully enhanced, he was not stupid, so how could he do such stupid things?
"No, no, Qing Xi, you misunderstood. Don't you want to go to the Demon Heart Pond to experience it? The Demon Heart Pond usually only opens once every few decades, but it was less than ten years since it was last opened, so I never took you there. .
But as usual, after every family competition, the final winner has an opportunity to go to the Demonic Heart Pool to practice, and he can also bring a companion with him, and outsiders are also allowed. "Xiao Yutang waved his hand and explained quickly.
After finishing speaking, he added: "Although Xiao Yujin has some qualifications and some strength, I have been promoted to God Transformation now, so I am still somewhat sure of dealing with him, so there is no need to ask for your help."
Now that you are sure, what are you worried about? Hearing what he said, Gu Qingxi couldn't help but feel a little confused, but since Xiao Yutang refused to say more, she didn't ask any more questions.
"Okay, I'll go to Xiao's house with you." Gu Qingxi nodded and said.
The Devil's Heart Pond would be of great benefit to her in improving her soul and further condensing her soul. Of course she couldn't miss this opportunity.
And since Xiao Yujin held the family competition in advance to deal with Xiao Yutang, he must be confident and fully prepared. Having her by his side would prevent Xiao Yutang from being careless and dying without knowing why.
"Feixue, what about you, where are you going?" Gu Qingxi turned her head and asked Di Feixue again.
"Some disciples in the clan have heard rumors that there are strange phenomena in the heaven and earth in Jiuman Mountain, or that rare treasures are born. I am going to go and have a look." Di Feixue said.
Going from Di's house to Jiuman Mountain, she had to pass through Yunlang Mountain. She had passed by on the way before and saw that Gu Qingxi and Feng Xiantian were besieged, so she quickly came to rescue them.
Of course, even if she didn't take action, even with the strength of Wei Changqing and others, they would never be able to hurt Gu Qingxi and Feng Xiantian, and their deaths would only be worse.
"Then go ahead and be more careful." Gu Qingxi said.
As the heir to a cultivation family, such experience is essential for Di Feixue, and she will certainly not stop it.
"Sister Qingxi, I have to leave. There are also two boxes of rouge produced by Qianjiaofang in Sifang City, three boxes of gouache produced by Baimeiju in Zhongpingcheng, and five boxes of lip gloss produced by Shuiyunfang in Taiping City. You can also take them all. Use it slowly, if you like it, tell me and I'll buy it for you." Di Feixue took out a lot of rouge and gouache, stuffed them all at Gu Qingxi, and then raised her flying sword.
Gu Qingxi looked at the pile of exquisite paper boxes in her hands, smelled the faint fragrance, and that strong sense of being taken care of came to her face again.
Next to him, Xiao Yutang wanted to cry: When he was about to leave, he didn't forget to stuff his mouth full of dog food. Was he deliberately trying to stuff him to death or something?
"Let's go too." After waving goodbye to Di Feixue and watching her go away, Gu Qingxi and Xiao Yutang also left the town and headed to the Xiao family with their swords.
To the west of Fuyang Mountain, lush mountains undulate, with a stream like a jade belt flowing through it. The steaming water mist is like thin silk, lingering among the mountains all year round.
There is an old mansion at the foot of the mountain, with hundreds of courtyards of various sizes lined up inside. It is peaceful and peaceful, but also reveals a sense of solemnity.
Here is the ancient house built by the first generation of the Xiao family.
Although the Xiao family's vitality was severely damaged due to the battle with the demons that year, and they have not been able to rank among the four major demon cultivating families in recent years, but when it comes to the bottom line, they are by no means inferior to any aristocratic family. Of course, they also have a forbidden air formation. Law.
Xiao Yutang carries a family token on his body, so he is not affected by the forbidden air formation, but such a family has strict rules. Even his own disciples are not allowed to fly with their swords at home unless there is something very important.
So a few miles away from the gate, Xiao Yutang and Gu Qingxi lowered their flying swords and walked forward.
A dozen young people also landed not far away, and they looked like they were descendants of the Xiao family.
"Brother Yutang!" Seeing Xiao Yutang, one of the teenagers ran over quickly and said to Xiao Yutang happily.
"Yuhua, you're back too. You went to Yundang Mountain to practice hard for three years. Your strength should have improved a lot, right?" Xiao Yutang said kindly.
"Fortunately, there is a slight improvement, but not too much." Xiao Yuhua's face turned slightly red when he heard him mention his cultivation, and he answered vaguely and asked: "Brother Yutang, how is your strength?"
"I'm okay, okay." Xiao Yutang also said vaguely.
Seeing that he was also vague, Xiao Yuhua's face was not so red.
Seeing this, Gu Qingxi couldn't help but look at Xiao Yutang a few more times.
This Xiao Yuhua's qualifications are extremely mediocre, and his cultivation level has only reached the Golden Elixir Perfection, and it is the result of three years of hard training in seclusion.
Such qualifications can only be considered average in an ordinary demon cultivating family, but in a cultivating family with a profound foundation like the Xiao family, they are of course a waste among waste materials.
Xiao Yutang was vague and did not tell him his current cultivation level, obviously not wanting to hurt his self-esteem.
It turns out that although Xiao Yutang is a demon cultivator, he still has such a delicate and kind side.
At this time, other teenagers also gathered around and saluted Xiao Yutang. Although he was not as happy as Xiao Yuhua, his smile was full of intimacy.
While chatting, they surrounded Xiao Yutang and Gu Qingxi and walked toward the gate.
