The food in Taibailou is really expensive, but it's also really delicious.
Even Zhuzhu, who didn't have a strong appetite, picked up a few more chopsticks.
Liu Jinwen, who loves delicious food, even had his mouth watering after eating.
Naturally, good food must be paired with good wine. The spiritual wine here is brewed from a spiritual fruit called Golden Snake Fruit, and it tastes very good. Zhuzhu also bought two pots of it for Master.
After eating and drinking, they did not leave immediately, but ordered some more snacks and spiritual tea.
Drinking spiritual tea leisurely and listening to the conversations in the hall from time to time.
As expected, almost all the topics of conversation revolved around the Xiao family, which made the Xiao family the only aristocratic family in Chumeng Island.
Therefore, everyone soon learned a lot about the Xiao family.
For example, the head of the Xiao family, also known as Island Master Xiao, is a late-stage out-of-body true king. The family also has a true ancestor in the distraction stage, and two early-stage and mid-stage out-of-body elders.
Although it is not as powerful as aristocratic families, it can still be regarded as a relatively powerful family among the middle-class families.
The Xiao family has been on good terms with the Shark clan for generations and has monopolized the Shark yarn industry. Relying on the Shark yarn to clear the way, the Xiao family has some friendship with many big families and sects.
Moreover, the children of the family are quite impressive. Xiao He, the eldest son of the Xiao family, is only over 190 years old and is already the true king of the late Nascent Soul. Everyone says that he will be the next city lord.
Therefore, the Xiao family is considered to be a relatively prosperous family.
But even if the Xiao family is so prosperous, there will still be some laggards among the family members.
For example, Zhuzhu and the others met the second young master Xiao - Xiao Yu.
This person's cultivation aptitude is no worse than that of the eldest son, Xiao He. However, with the eldest son, Zhuyu, in front of him, Xiao Xi, who was born more than ten years later, naturally received much less attention and cultivation resources.
From Zhuzhu's point of view, this is easy to understand. Aristocratic families generally value the eldest son. Unless the eldest son is really unable to support Adou, they will instead focus on cultivating other disciples. What's more, the second young master Xiao is still the concubine of Xiao Island Master. The child born.
He is a concubine, so it is impossible for him to receive the same treatment as his brother.
The main reason is that he was not reincarnated into the wife of Island Master Xiao.
But the second young master Xiao didn't think so. He felt that the Xiao family was unfair to him. He obviously practiced very hard and his cultivation progress was not slow, but his father seemed to not see it and only treated his eldest brother and the third sister born from his aunt. He is kind-hearted and almost always treats him lightly.
Xiao Fei was unwilling to give in. He wanted his father to value him as much as his eldest brother. He even wanted to replace his eldest brother and become the young master of the Xiao family. Of course, this matter could not be heard, and no one except the Second Young Master Xiao knew his true identity. idea.
Later, I heard that the owner of Rumengye Island had chosen a husband for his eldest daughter, Ye Sujin, and his father wanted to secure this marriage for his eldest brother.
Rumeng Island is several times larger than Chumeng Island, and the Ye family is not a little bit stronger than the Xiao family. There is not only one true ancestor in the integration stage, two supreme elders in the distraction stage, but also six The elder of the Out-of-Body True Monarch is already one of the top families in the Dream Sea.
If he could marry the daughter of Island Master Ye, and Xiao He would have the help of the Ye family in the future, then the Xiao family would not have anything to worry about as their second son.
Naturally, the Second Young Master Xiao was unwilling to give up, so he took the ten pieces of the finest shark yarn and other treasures that he had secretly collected and came to ask for his hand in marriage.
Naturally, the Ye family would not betroth their daughter to a son from a middle-class family. Even if Xiao Yu had good cultivation qualifications and would have no problem entering the out-of-body stage in the future, the Ye family still looked down upon him.
After all, the daughter of Island Master Ye, Ye Sujin, is not bad in cultivation. She is already at the Golden Elixir Dzogchen level when she is only over 110 years old.
In desperation, Xiao Huo came up with a bad idea, that is, to find an opportunity to cook rice with Miss Ye. The Ye family would have to be willing to do it for the sake of Miss Ye's reputation.
So he has been staying near Rumeng Island, waiting for opportunities, trying to find opportunities.
Not to mention, in the end, when he really waited for the opportunity, Miss Ye only brought two guards who were in the early stage of Yuan Ying to go out for training.
This gave Young Master Xiao hope. He was the true king of the middle stage of Yuanying. Even if he was no longer favored by the Xiao family, his father still gave him a bodyguard from the late stage of Yuanying and the early stage of Yuanying to protect him closely.
It was not easy for the three of them to take down Miss Ye and the three of them.
However, the Second Young Master Xiao was still afraid of danger, so he used the Disguise Technique, and the two people who were protecting him also used the Disguise Technique. He planned to reveal his true appearance to Miss Ye after he succeeded. Anyway, by then she I couldn't run away even if I wanted to.
Everything went smoothly at the beginning. Miss Ye watched helplessly as two of her bodyguards were killed by the three young masters Xiao. She relied on the endless treasures on her body to keep the second young master Xiao away.
But it's only a matter of time. The treasure will eventually be used up, just when Miss Ye is about to despair.
Young Master Xiao appeared in time to save her.
It turned out that Mr. Xiao came to Rumeng Island to propose marriage. He happened to be passing by and heard the sound of fighting, so he came to save her.
When he wanted to help Miss Ye kill the three gangsters, he discovered that the leader of the gangsters was actually his second brother.
In order to save the second brother's life and to prevent the Xiao family from being implicated, Young Master Xiao killed the two scoundrels Xiao Yu on the spot, and beat Young Master Xiao severely to make Miss Ye vent her anger.
Not only that, the eldest son Xiao also took the scarred second son Xiao to the Ye family to plead guilty and compensate the Ye family for many treasures.
Seeing that his daughter did not suffer any loss and that Young Master Xiao was very good at being a good person, Island Master Ye finally spared Young Master Xiao's life.
Even so, the master of Ye Island also spread the news that Young Master Xiao and his dog could not enter Rumeng Island and all places where the Ye family would appear.
Otherwise, Ye Jia would beat him every time he saw him.
When Zhuzhu heard this, she not only cried out for the dog, but what had the dog done wrong? Why should it be compared to a maggot?
It is true that Ye Jia's move was a bit overbearing, but Zhuzhu would not take it lightly when she thought about how her family was being bullied and plotted against.
However, Second Young Master Xiao just came back, and what he did on Rumeng Island was reported back so quickly, which shows that someone deliberately spread it.
Either the Ye family is afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and deliberately spreads it in the Xiao family's territory to make the second young master Xiao infamous and unintentional to practice, or...
Zhuzhu thought of Xiao He, the eldest son of Xiao, who benefited from the whole thing in the end, or that the eldest son of Xiao, who had a good reputation, realized that the concubine's younger brother was getting stronger and was about to catch up with him, so he took this opportunity. , and pinned the concubine's younger brother to the ground forever, unable to come forward again.
Although what the second young master Xiao did did brought disgrace to the Xiao family, the eldest young master Xiao saved Miss Ye in time and punished his younger brother, which saved a lot of reputation for the Xiao family and also allowed him to be in Chumeng. Island and Rumengdao have received a lot of praise.
I heard that Miss Ye fell in love with Mr. Xiao at first sight because of this.
Zhuzhu didn't believe that Mr. Xiao had no calculations or manipulation in the whole thing.
After all, it was him who benefited in the end, and it was Young Master Xiao who was unlucky.
Of course, Second Young Master Xiao is not a good person. Looking at him hurting innocent people because of his bad mood, it can be seen that this man is very angry.
However, Young Master Xiao, who is so glamorous on the surface but kills without blood behind his back, also makes people feel chilly.
In fact, he could have let the Second Young Master Xiao go without revealing his identity. It is also possible that he deliberately asked others to help the Second Young Master Xiao come up with the bad idea of making the rice ready, so that he could be behind to save Miss Ye.
Second Young Master Xiao deserves it. If he had no intention of harming others, he would not be where he is today.
After hearing this, Zhuzhu lost her favorable impression of the Xiao family and gave up her plan to buy the same yarn from the Xiao family.
If the Xiao family were as thoughtful as Mr. Xiao, she might not only be unable to buy the same yarn, but she might also be unable to leave Chumeng Island due to leakage of money.
Suddenly Zhuzhu saw the female cultivator who had bought five pieces of same yarn in one go.
Behind her were still the two Nascent Soul guards, but there was another little maid in the Foundation Establishment stage.
"Miss, this Second Young Master Xiao really shot himself in the foot. He deserves it!"
After all, this is the territory of the Xiao family. Previously, everyone used the word "Second Young Master" for the Second Young Master Xiao. No one dared to directly say what the Second Young Master Xiao was like, but everyone knew that the Second Young Master was the Second Young Master Xiao.
I didn't expect that a maid in the Foundation Establishment Stage would be so brave and dare to directly mention the words "Second Young Master Xiao" in front of so many people.
