Against The Gods
Chapter 24 –Evolidation Round 3

Not long after Xiao Lingxi left, Xia Qingyue returned. Today she had changed her red outfit to a water blue embroidered dress with a phoenix design. In her hair was a sapphire pin, from her ear hung a pair of pearl earrings, and around her neck hung a sapphire blue pearl necklace. The skin of the neck that looks sparkling snow white, transparent to the point that even the bones underneath can be seen. It emits light and is a very beautiful sight to behold.

Xiao Che looked at her with a overwhelmed expression, his eyes were extremely dazzled. This beautiful unique scene, wasn't it like a fairy who got to the mortal realm …?

Xia Qingyue walked through the door, each step light and graceful as if she was walking in the clouds. Her snow-white face and neck were not only beautiful, but also exuded a kind of noble aura and cold pride that could put people to shame … No one saw her believe that she was just the merchant daughter of a small town, but definitely thought that she was a solitary and untouchable empress.

Xiao Che looked at her in bewilderment as his heart sighed a thousand times .. This room is the only place he changed clothes! He must have slept well and completely missed his beautiful scene of changing clothes! Ahhhhhhh, that is unforgivable !!

“Blue clothes suit you even better than red,” Xiao Che wholeheartedly praised as he observed it, incomparably happy.

Xia Qingyue was not moved in the slightest due to her admiration. Looking at the empty soup bowl on the table, he walked over and lifted it up, preparing to go outside.

“Did you make that chicken soup?” Xiao Che asked loudly.

“Does it taste good?” Xia Qingyue asked with ice coldness, her back facing him. However, within the depths of his eyes were subtle emotions that even he himself did not understand.

“It was very good. That's why I know that you're amazing even when it comes to making soup. “Xiao Che said with a smile. He stood up and stretched his body, then said solemnly, “To restore my wife's Qingyue chicken soup, tonight in bed ..

“.....” Xia Qingyue was already used to her teasing. He said expressionlessly, “People from the Xiao Sect will be coming this afternoon. The leader was the youngest son of Sect Master Xiao, called Xiao Kuangyun. I heard Master say that the cultivation of this great power of Xiao Kuangyun can only be considered average among the younger generation of the Xiao Sect, and his reputation outside is very bad. However, he was greatly pampered because he was the youngest child. No one in Floating Cloud City dared to provoke him. Avoid meeting in person. “

“Xiao Kuangyun? All right, I get it. Thank you for warning me, Qingyue my wife. “Say Xiao Che, beaming.

……………………………………

Today was the day of the arrival of the people from the Xiao Sect.

The news of the arrival of the Xiao Sect not only affected the Xiao Clan, but also greatly affected everything in Floating Cloud City.

Floating Cloud City was located at the base of the Blue Wind Empire in every way. On the other hand, the Xiao Sect was located at the peak of the Blue Wind Empire. The difference in levels between the two is innumerable. The people from the Xiao Sect .. and also the youngest son of Sect Master Xiao who came here personally were no different from emperors visiting the lowest rural families. The entire Floating Cloud City was wrapped up in a sort of nervous atmosphere. Some people were carefully looking forward to it, hoping to use any method to forge a small relationship with the Xiao Sect. Even more people were worried in their hearts. After knowing that this afternoon was when they would arrive, they all locked themselves up for fear of offending the other party by accident, it would not be much different from stepping on an ant. To them, the law is just a joke.

The main courtyard of the Xiao Clan had been neatly laid out and clean, not even dust could be found anywhere. As of two days ago, the largest and most luxurious courtyard of the Xiao Yunhai Clan that Xiao Yunhai had always lived in had been swept and decorated. Even the sheets, blankets and furniture have all been replaced. Moreover, Xiao Yunhai had moved to the smaller courtyard next to him. Even the next few days the food had been self-regulated by him .. Even though he was tired to death, his heart remained incomparably happy! It was because he was a hundred percent certain that his son Xiao Yulong would be the one chosen by the Xiao Sect this time around! At that time, his son would soar into the sky! And he, himself, would be someone who would not dare to provoke anyone in Floating Cloud City! Even within a hundred li radius!

(TL: li \= .5 kilometers)

Starting at ten in the morning, Xiao Yunhai personally led all the elders to wait at the entrance of the clan, ready to greet the guests. They waited until noon .. then ... until the afternoon .. it was only five o'clock in the afternoon when the Xiao Clan disciple ran back screaming from a distance, “Master Clan! They ... they have arrived !! The people of the Xiao Sect had arrived .. The glory was .. It was definitely the Xiao Sect! “

Everyone's bodies were shaking. Xiao Yunhai stepped quickly out, shouting in a low voice: “Quick! Tell everyone to get ready. I will definitely not forgive anyone who messes up and offends noble guests! All elders, follow me to meet them at once! “

Xiao Yunhai rushed out. Only after walking straight ahead for more than 1 li did he finally see four people unhurriedly walking towards them.

Of the four of them, the one leading was a young man who was around twenty years old in luxurious clothes. His white face contained a trace of shade, his appearance of an exaggerated hedonist. As far as it could be seen, he would not stand out in the crowd. However, the face as usual, was filled with wild arrogance and arrogance. His hands were behind his back as he walked, his eyes staring upwards, not even glancing at him as he passed by, as if even a gaze would dirty his eyes.

Following behind him was an old man in black clothes, his face as calm as water. Furthermore there were two similar black-clothed youths. The silver eagle pattern was embroidered onto each of their shoulders.

Xiao Yunhai took a deep breath and then quickly approached to greet them. He cupped his fists as he greeted, his body leaned forward, and carefully and respectfully asked: “Excuse me, are you four noble guests of the Xiao Sect?”

Xiao Yunhai's attitude immediately became more respectful. He respectfully said: “It turns out to be true four noble guests, that's great! We have been waiting for your arrival for a long time. This humble servant was the current master of the Xiao clan from Floating Cloud City. The five people behind me are the five esteemed elders of the Xiao Clan. For the four noble guests to come here for our Xiao Clan, we are very grateful and humble. “

“No need to continue that nonsense.” Xiao Kuangyun's gaze twinkled on the other five elders. He then lazily wagged his hand: “Pimpin the road.”

“Yes yes! Please follow me. “Xiao Yunhai immediately nodded and then twisted his body to personally lead the way back to the Xiao Clan.

“I'm afraid I don't know this senior ..”

“Xiao Moshan.” The black-clothed elder replied indifferently. His face was emotionless, like a corpse.

Xiao Yunhai did not dare to speak any further, his heart filled with fear. He could see Xiao Kuangyun's great cultivation level, but could not feel any strength from Xiao Moshan's body. This could be because this Xiao Moshan was not cultivating, but it was definitely impossible. Or it could be that his great cultivation strength surpassed his ability to detect it so far.

By the time they returned to the Xiao Clan, a large group of people were already standing at the entrance. Upon seeing Xiao Yunhai's respectful demeanor in front, their hearts thumped. Their eyes were fixed on the haughty young man, then they were all competing with each other to greet them.

“May I ask if this is the young master of the Xiao Sect?” A fat and middle-aged man in front asked respectfully.

“Who are you?” Xiao Kuangyun looked at his half-opened eyes to look at him.

“I ... I am the governor of Floating Cloud City. My name is Situ Nan. When I heard that the noble guests of the Xiao Sect have arrived, I came. “Situ Nan's voice began to tremble and cold sweat flashed across her forehead. As the governor of Floating Cloud City, he had seen many important figures, yet none of the important figures he had ever seen existed in this young master of the Xiao Sect. The arrogant young man in front of him was only mediocre in terms of appearance, but just a word from him was enough to cause death for him.

“This humble servant is Yuwen Ba. I have been good friends with the Xiao clan for many years. I have come ... come to admire the majesty of the Young Master of the Xiao Sect. I also brought some small gifts, I hope the young master will receive them. “The head of the Yuwen family, who was also famous among the Xiao Clan and Floating Cloud City, also rushed forward, his face full of respect. His hand offered a small and delicate jade box.

Xiao Kuangyun turned his gaze to the jade box and then pointed his hand towards the two people behind him. “Receive it.”

One of the people behind him immediately stepped forward and expressionlessly carried the jade box into his hands.

Seeing that the young master of the Xiao Sect had actually received his gift, Yuwen Ba's face was filled with happiness. Other people who wanted to establish a bit of a relationship with the Xiao Sect rushed forward to give their own gifts .. Xiao Kuangyun did not reject anyone and accepted all the gifts without question. Then, with narrowed eyes, he carelessly spoke: “You all go. It's going to be night. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow. “

“Really, right! Young Master Xiao traveled by land and water to come here. He must be exhausted. We will return tomorrow after Young Master Xiao rests. “Situ Governor says while nodding.

Only then did the crowd disperse.

Xiao Yunhai and the five elders respectfully introduced Xiao Kuangyun to the Xiao Clan. Xiao Yunhai said to them: “The four noble guests of the Xiao Sect have traveled and are definitely exhausted. Do you want to rest for a while? A luxurious residence was prepared. “

“No need, my body is not so weak.” Xiao Kuangyun swept his gaze across the Xiao Clan as the corner of his mouth stretched out, revealing an annoyance that was hard to hide. He then unenthusiastically said: “If it wasn't for Elder Xiao Zheng's death, I didn't even know there was a place like this. I heard that the ancestor of this place is the trash that the Xiao Sect has expelled. However, no matter how trashy, it was still someone from the Xiao Sect. Even if he was a trash that the Xiao Sect did not want, he could still become an overlord in a place like this. To be able to grow like this for so many years, it was still not bad. “

“Ya yes. Thank you for the compliment, Young Master Xiao. “

Faced with Xiao Kuangyun's open humiliation, Xiao Yunhai still nodded his head in thanks. How could he dare to reply to her in the slightest?

“Death is important. The reason I came here was also to fulfill Elder Xiao Zheng's last wish. We clearly state our purpose in our letter. Tomorrow morning, have everyone in your clan gather in this courtyard. No one will not come. I will personally choose someone to bring back to the Xiao Sect. “After saying this last sentence, Xiao Kuangyun raised his head high as if he was announcing a fortune from heaven.
