Chapter 966 Mysterious Xiao Mansion

The Eastern Yan was established. After the initial fluctuations, everything gradually stabilized. The country's power was stable and the territory was stable. The neighboring countries were respectful and did not dare to be disrespectful at all.

Xiao Chen summoned important officials under his command and announced that he would devote himself to his cultivation. All things in the court were handed over to Quan to deal with, and no matter what was important, they should not be disturbed. All the ministers under him knew that the reason why Dongyan was able to be safe was because the king had the cultivation that Dayan feared, otherwise they would not have kept them to this day! The stronger the king's cultivation, the more stable the Dongyan's status would be. Naturally, they had no objection to this! Moreover, they knew all the abilities of Lord Quan, and they were able to manage state affairs.

In the years since then, Xiao Chen lived in seclusion and practiced with his four girls most of the time. During this period, he went out to seclusion and gathered from time to time, ranging from days to days to months. He was peaceful and calm, but he seemed particularly precious. Since he ascended to the Great Thousand Realms, Xiao Chen has never been as calm as he is now. When he was practicing, he catered to the principle of inaction. With the guidance of Quanshishi, his cultivation still maintained an amazing speed.

Time passed quietly in such a peaceful time. In a blink of an eye, the founding of the Eastern Yan Kingdom has been more than fifty years.

In the 53rd year of Jianyuan, in the wild star field, a low-level cultivation star that does not exist in the sight of the eight empires. On this cultivation star, there is a huge mortal city. Three years ago, a new residents were moved on the Chang Street of the south of the city. The male owner is about twenty years old, with a handsome and upright appearance, with a gentle smile on his face. He has four beautiful wives around him. Although his appearance is not beautiful, his slim figure is enough to attract countless attention. The most beautiful concubine in the city, it is said that after hearing the news, he has quietly taken a look at it. Since then, he has never walked into the Chang Street of the south of the city again.

The Xiao Mansion has always been low-key, and the male and female hostess in the mansion are also gentle people. Although they have never taken the initiative to interact with their neighbors, if they meet them on weekdays, they always smile with a smile. The smile is very contagious and makes people feel warm when they see them. But even so, no family in the south street of the city and even the entire city really gets close to the Xiao Mansion. It’s not that they don’t want to, but that they dare not. The people in the Xiao Mansion, from the master to the servants, although they all show gentleness and politeness, all of them show a faint momentum. This momentum is not intentional, but just naturally emanates.

Lord Li, the Minister of Revenue, who retired from Kyoto, once met the fourth wife of Xiao Mansion. When he saw it, he was astonishingly celestial and extremely restrained in his expression. Afterwards, according to the servants beside the elder, Lord Li once said that the aura of the heroine of the Xiao family was incomparable to the nobles of heaven!

For a time, the big families in the city were talking about it, and it was rumored that the Xiao family was a child of a certain royal family and lived in seclusion here without caring about the world. The various families in the city kept their attitude towards the Xiao family away from it, and gradually became more and more awe-inspiring, and they became more and more afraid to disturb them.

Mr. Li was furious about this matter, and slandered the servants around him, expelled them from the mansion, and personally handed them a letter of worship to Xiao's mansion for this matter. The housekeeper who sent the letter of worship did not see the owner of Xiao's mansion, but only saw a beautiful female housekeeper. Both parties talked about it in the side hall. Before the housekeeper came to his senses, he found that he had been sent out of the mansion. Looking back on the appearance of the housekeeper, he only remembered that he was a girl with bright eyes and no other impression.

This matter ended up in the end, and the Xiao Mansion still acted as usual, without any influence on the rumors. Such a graceful manner seemed to be more profound and awe in his heart.

Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!

The sound of horse hooves falling from the stone slabs came from afar on the long street. A horse walked to the front of Xiao Mansion. The horse rider turned over and landed quickly. He tied the horse and walked to the front of the mansion. He respectfully said: "I'm sorry to report that Mr. Li of the Wang family has a birthday, and invited the owner of Xiao Mansion to go to the banquet."

Outside Xiao’s mansion, two guards bowed slightly, one of them took the invitation, said, waited and turned around and hurried into the mansion.

In the backyard, a man in green robe leaned on a comfortable soft couch, and the sunlight was scattered, making his facial contour appear more and more distinct. Under the sunlight, his face seemed to emit a faint fluorescent layer. He was holding a scroll in his hand and was reading quietly.

The four women sat quietly by the window, leaning over slightly, their long skirts were slightly tight, and their beautiful figures were outlined. The embroidery needles in their hands were flexibly interspersed, embroidered with balls of beautiful patterns, with a smile in their eyes and a sense of happiness.

At this moment, the man in the green robe suddenly raised his head and smiled, "You and I have lived in this city for three years and finally received the first invitation."

Shortly after his voice fell, he saw a beautiful woman stepping in outside the door and said respectfully: "Sir, Li's birthday invitation."

The man in the green robe raised his hand and took it in his hand, looked down, and suddenly he let out a light "Huh" and closed his eyes slightly and silently.

The four women raised their heads from the embroidery table and looked at the man with a puzzled look on their faces. After a few breaths, the eyes of the man in the green robe opened again, and the most gentle and virtuous woman said, "Husband, what happened?"

The man in the green robe smiled and said, "It's not easy to be sure of your husband now, but if that's right, you and I have been here for three years, and the people you are waiting for should have arrived." As for this, he turned to look at the woman, "Lingzhi, tell the sender that Xiao must go to the birthday party tomorrow."

###############

The head of the Li family in the city, Mr. Li, is an important official in the court and served as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Although he has retired and returned home, his identity is still one of the best people in the city. The 70th birthday is naturally a grand event, and all the people in the city are proud to be invited by the Li family. Moreover, it is rumored that Mr. Li's third son became a disciple of the immortal, and this birthday will also return. For a time, the daughters of each family in the city were intrigued. If they could be attracted by such a man, they might also enter the path of immortality in the future. Isn't it enviable to be the companion of the gods in the future?

The entire city became lively on its birthday, with a bit more festive atmosphere.

There were traffic in front of Li's mansion, and there were many guests. Decent figures from all families were dressed appropriately and came with careful preparation of gifts. The housekeeper in front of the mansion welcomed the guests with a smile, and the servants in the mansion attracted guests to thank them. They were busy and rushed.

A carriage came from the end of the long street. The black body was usually uncommon, but wherever it was traveling, pedestrians dodged the surrounding frames and looked at the carriage, with a hint of surprise and awe in their eyes.

When the butler saw the black carriage, he was shocked and hurriedly welcomed him, saying respectfully: "The head of the Xiao family is here, and my Li family is very honored!"

The coachman in black was a handsome young man. He jumped out of the carriage and lowered his head slightly, standing respectfully beside him. He looked cold and cold. Although his breath was not obvious, he naturally felt a sense of oppression, which made people awe in his heart. After hearing what the butler of the Li family said, guests from all families suddenly realized that no wonder they could use such coachman. It turned out that the visitor was the head of the Xiao family.

The car door opened, and the man in green robe lowered his head and stepped out, saying lightly: "Mr. Li invites you, Mr. Xiao, here to congratulate me."

The butler looked awe-inspiring, but there was uncontrollable joy between his eyebrows. It was naturally a great face to invite the head of Xiao to visit the mansion to congratulate him. "My master has been waiting in the mansion for a long time, so the head of Xiao will invite him."

The man in green nodded slightly and walked towards the door of the mansion. The coachman in black reached out and patted the horse on the carriage and followed the master's house. The horse turned around and pulled the carriage and left in the direction of the way.

The master went to the banquet, but the servant was not qualified to enter the main entrance, let alone enter the birthday banquet seat. The housekeeper hesitated a little. Seeing that the master of the Xiao family had no intention of stopping him, he hesitated a little but did not say much, leading the two to the mansion.

"The head of the Xiao family is here to congratulate!"

The servant whispered loudly, then he bowed and flashed to the side, stretched out his hand to lead him.

The man in green robe stepped in, glanced around his eyes, paused a little on the young man on the upper head, then turned around and bowed with a smile, saying, "Mr. Li is on his 70th birthday, Xiao is here to congratulate him, but the gift is not respectful."

Behind him, the young man in black robe stepped forward. He had a long box in his hand and presented it with both hands.

The wrinkles on Mr. Li's face stretched out, and he stood up and smiled, "The head of the Xiao family can come, the Li family will shine brightly, please sit down!" Everyone in the hall then stood up and nodded slightly to show respect. The mysterious Xiao family is clearly transcendent in the city, so naturally no one is willing to be rude in front of the young head of the Xiao family.

However, at this moment, there were three people in the hall who had not moved at all. Two men and one woman looked quite young, with cold eyes swept over the master and servant of the green-robed monks, and no longer looked at each other, with a arrogant expression. However, judging from their seats, they were also distinguished guests of the Li family, and they thought they had an extraordinary identity.

The man in the green robe smiled and nodded, sat down at the upper seat, with his expression as usual. However, the young man in the black robe behind him flashed a cold light in his eyes. After handing over the gift, he stood behind him, lowered his head and remained silent.

"Li Shiwang, although my younger generation is not old, I know the tribute to guests. Is it considered disrespectful to the Li family?" Among the two men and one woman, one of them spoke lightly. His voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard into everyone's ears. A faint majestic aura came, which made people feel trembling and then awe.

The guests in the hall suddenly became quiet and looked at the man who spoke with awe.

The man in the green robe looked unchanged. He picked up the teacup and lowered his head and drank it, and said, "Good tea." His face was gentle, but his eyes did not look at the young man who spoke at all. This style was natural, and it seemed that this should have been.

Mr. Li's face was a little stiff. He knew that his attention to the master and servant of the Xiao family had just been dissatisfied with this person. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't expect that this person in the immortal way would still value this false reputation so much. He had not thought about how to resolve this matter yet, but the young man next to him had already spoken, "Senior Brother Zelin, today is my father's birthday. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me." As he spoke, he looked at Zelin with a plain expression.

The woman among the three said hurriedly: "Senior Brother Zelin, don't ruin the atmosphere of the birthday party."

Zelin's face slightly darkened when he heard this, and he groaned low, but he didn't say much.

Mr. Li finally saw the storm and said smoothly: "Are you all the distinguished guests here, let's have a banquet."
