Outsiders might not know what he was busy with during this time, but the Great Elder knew it all too well.
During this period of time, he had been busy looking for gifts for his great-grandfather to leave the country. This was also his greatest effort to compete for the position of the young family head.
Although he is one of the two most powerful contenders for the position of Young Patriarch, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Yujin has been helping the Patriarch manage family affairs in the past few years. No matter how good Xiao Yutang's performance is, he has better opportunities than him. Much smaller.
If nothing changes, the position of the young head of the family and even the future head of the family will most likely fall into the hands of Xiao Yujin.
The biggest variable was the great-grandfather's release from seclusion. As long as he can offer suitable gifts and win the favor of his great-grandfather, he will most likely overpower Xiao Yujin to win the position of young family head, and then win the position of family head.
This was the reason why Xiao Yujin persuaded the family head to hold a family competition before his great-grandfather left the country.
As for wanting to give Xiao Yutang a blow and suppress his prestige, it was just the icing on the cake, and he wanted to make his position as the young head of the family more secure.
The Great Elder knew what he was thinking, so he hid the injury and did not allow anyone to inform him.
Xiao Yutang was raised by the elder himself. How could he not guess his good intentions, and how could he not be moved by it.
"Great Elder..." Holding Xiao Ningyuan's hand tightly, Xiao Yutang was choked and speechless.
"It's okay, I'm okay, don't worry about me." Of course Xiao Ningyuan knew what he was thinking, with tears in his eyes, he patted the back of his hand and consoled him.
Although they didn't have many words, Gu Qingxi still deeply felt that they were not grandparents but better than their blood. She felt the warmth from her family and couldn't help but be moved by it.
"Elder Xiao, I have come back. If you have anything to explain, please explain it quickly. After you finish explaining it, I can start performing the technique." Unfortunately, a discordant voice destroyed the warmth, and an old man stepped forward. , said to the great elder impatiently.
This old man is thin and short. He wears a black gown that looks simple on the surface, but if you look closely, you can see that the corners and cuffs are embroidered with red-gold silk thread, showing a low-key luxury.
The same goes for those shoes. On the surface, they look like cloth shoes commonly worn by monks, but there is a circle of gold thread on the soles, and even the exposed corners of the socks are embroidered with cloud patterns in silver thread, making them even more low-key and luxurious.
By the way, there is also the long sword at the waist. Although the hilt is not wrapped with gold and silver threads like the Jiuli Sword Spirit, and there is probably not a lot of peonies, begonias, peonies and other things painted on the sword, but With Gu Qingxi's eyesight, it was not difficult to see that the hilt of the sword was carefully carved and polished from the ivory of the ten-power giant elephant.
The Ten-Power Giant Elephant is a ninth-level monster. If the ivory is used to refine magic weapons, the attack and defense can be greatly improved. However, if it is used to make a sword hilt, it will not gain much. It is a complete waste. The only meaning is to show luxury.
In short, this old man gives off a low-key impression from head to toe...well, dressed like this, it is no longer as simple as low-key luxury, it is completely boring, completely boring.
"Yutang, this is Master Feng Zicheng. Please bow quickly." Xiao Ningyuan then looked away from Xiao Yutang and introduced the old man's identity to him.
"Junior Xiao Yutang, pay your respects to Master Feng." Xiao Yutang saluted quickly, but there was some confusion in his eyes. It was obvious that he did not know the background of Master Feng.
"Young man, you haven't even heard of me, Feng Busheng, have you?" The sullen old man raised his head and said with a bit of pride and a bit of displeasure.
Feng is not dead? Xiao Yutang felt like he had heard it somewhere, but after thinking about it carefully he couldn't remember it.
"Master Feng is one of the most famous demon doctors in our world of cultivation. He was famous all over the world thousands of years ago. However, in recent years, in order to study medicine intensively, he has traveled around the world incognito, so you young people rarely hear his name.
By the way, you must have heard of Fu Chaoyuan, the leader of the Demon Doctor Alliance. Master Feng is Fu Chaoyuan’s junior brother. "Xiao Ningyuan also saw that Xiao Yutang had no impression of Feng Zicheng, so he continued.
Feng Zicheng, Master Feng, Feng Busheng, the junior brother of Fu Chaoyuan, the leader of the Demon Doctor Alliance... these names were linked together, and not only Xiao Yutang, but also Gu Qingxi also remembered who this person was.
Speaking of which, Feng Zicheng once had quite a reputation, but his reputation mainly came from Fu Chaoyuan.
There is no way, Fu Chaoyuan's medical skills are a culmination of magic medical skills, and he has also innovated and developed his own line. He is known as the most outstanding magic doctor in the world of cultivation in the past ten thousand years. At the same time, he is the leader of the magic doctor alliance. His reputation is too great.
Even Feng Zicheng is said to have extraordinary talents and medical skills, and was given the reputation of Feng (Feng) Immortal - which means that no matter how seriously injured or sick, as long as he meets him, there is no need to worry about his life, and he can die even if he wants to. Can't die.
But under the cover of Fu Chaoyuan's immense light, it was always difficult for him to get ahead. As long as Feng Zicheng is mentioned, someone will mention Fu Chaoyuan and say this happily:
"You said Feng Zicheng, Master Feng, I know, I know, isn't he the junior brother of Alliance Leader Fu? Alliance Leader Fu is worthy of being a magic doctor wizard that we only encounter once in ten thousand years in the world of cultivation. Even his junior brother is so outstanding."
What do you mean, co-author Feng Zicheng is outstanding, just to make his senior brother even more outstanding?
As a demon cultivator, and also a demonic medical cultivator with a transcendent status, this is not a compliment, it is simply a huge humiliation.
At first, Feng Zicheng was unwilling and tried hard to prove himself, but after experiencing repeated blows and humiliations, he finally gave up helplessly.
He said that he was traveling around the world incognito and comprehending the path of medicine, but in fact he was disheartened and wanted to hide from Fu Chaoyuan as far away as possible so that he could be safe.
As time passed, the world of cultivation gradually forgot about him. If Xiao Ningyuan hadn't mentioned it today, Gu Qingxi would not have remembered that Fu Chaoyuan had such a boring junior brother.
Thinking of the old man's origins, Gu Qingxi also knew why he was so boring. With such a glorious senior brother pressing down on his head, he couldn't be sultry even if he wanted to.
"It turns out that the senior is Master Feng Bushi, who is known as turning disaster into good fortune and will survive in disasters. He is the junior brother of Alliance Leader Fu!" Xiao Yutang was in awe, and bowed to Feng Zicheng respectfully.
Even though most of Feng Zicheng's reputation is inseparable from Fu Chaoyuan, his own medical skills are equally extraordinary, so Xiao Yutang still dare not neglect him.
Seeing that he had heard of his nickname of "turning misfortunes into good fortune, and surviving in catastrophes", Feng Zicheng was surprised and pleased. His gaze towards Xiao Yutang also became particularly admiring. There is a kind of cultivator among the countless monks in the world. The only feeling of confidant is hard to find, but soon, I heard what he said about the junior brother of Alliance Leader Fu, so my old face fell and I became angry again.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Your eldest elder's soul has been severely damaged. We can't delay it any longer. If you have anything to say, say it quickly. Once you've finished speaking, start treating him as soon as possible." Feng Zicheng said with a straight face.
It's hard to find a confidant. He didn't want to say anything unnecessary to Xiao Yutang.
Xiao Yutang looked at Xiao Ningyuan in confusion. He had been practicing with the great elder in the past few years. There was always a chance to explain, so why wait until now?
"Let's talk after we go in." After Xiao Ningyuan said that, he turned and walked towards the house.
Obviously what I'm about to say is of great importance and I don't want too many people to know.
Xiao Yutang hurriedly stepped forward and helped him towards the training quiet room.
Of course, Gu Qingxi could tell that Xiao Ningyuan was worried about something and stood outside the door without moving.
"Elder, her name is Gu Qingxi, she is my best friend, there is no harm in letting her listen." Xiao Yutang hesitated and said to Xiao Ningyuan.
"Then let her listen too." Xiao Ningyuan looked at Gu Qingxi deeply and said.
He knew that Xiao Yutang seemed to have a wide circle of friends, but in fact he had few friends. Not only could Gu Qingxi call him a friend, but he was also his best friend. Naturally, the relationship was extraordinary.
Even if he stopped Gu Qingxi from entering, she would know what she should know sooner or later, so why bother?
Soon, several people came to the practice quiet room.
"Yutang, there is something I have been hiding from you. I can actually guess a thing or two about the whereabouts of your parents." Xiao Ningyuan said to Xiao Yutang when there was no one around.
"What!" Xiao Yutang exclaimed.
When he was a child, he often asked about the whereabouts of his parents. The elder's answer every time was that he didn't know, so straightforward that he didn't even have a chance to ask.
Over time, he thought that the great elder really knew nothing, and he never asked again in the past few years.
I just found out today that the Great Elder has actually been hiding something.
