Translator: 549690339
However, the Xu family had been having a hard ti recently.
A few years ago, the royal family of the Great Gan recruited the ancestors of the various families. Naturally, the Xu family’s ancestor was also recruited.
However, before the Xu family could wait for the news of the ancestor’s achievents, they first obtained the ancestor’s corpse.
Although Da Qian had compensated the Xu Family with many resources, it was enough for the Xu Family to give birth to another Core Formation Realm expert.
However, distant water couldn’t quench the current thirst, and the future Core Condensation cultivator couldn’t guard the current Xu family.
The ancestor of the Xu Family was the first generation of the Xu Family after reaching the Eighth Stage. He was now more than 370 years old.
He was only twenty years away from reaching the 400-year limit. No one knew how long the Xu family ancestor could last.
If the ancestor died and a new condensed core was born, then the Xu family’s 400-year-old eighth-rank family would probably fall.
The Xu family still had external problems.
After the Song Clan was destroyed, the Song Clan’s share of the Darksteel Mine should be divided equally among the remaining clans.
However, because of the death of the Xu Clan’s ancestor, the other three eighth-rank aristocratic families avoided the Xu Clan and divided the Song Clan’s share.
If that was all, it would be fine. After all, the Xu family was weak. Taking the Song family’s share would only cause trouble for him.
However, the tree wanted to be quiet, but the wind did not stop. The other three aristocratic families not only occupied the Song family’s share, but also the Xu family’s share. They had plans to swallow up the Xu family’s share.
Under such internal and external troubles, no one knew how long the Xu family could last.
Back to the main topic.
Today, Xu City welcod a carriage.
This carriage was pulled by a storm wolf. One look and one could tell that it was from an aristocratic family.
The people outside the city also knew about this and made way for the carriage.
The carriage entered Xu City without any resistance and headed to a building complex in the north of the city.
As an eighth-rank aristocratic family that had been around for hundreds of years, the Xu family was naturally not sothing that the Chen family could compare to. It was also impossible for them to live together like the Chen family, regardless of whether they were direct descendants or collateral relatives.
The buildings in the north of the city were the territory of the Xu family’s collateral family.
The carriage stopped outside a residence. A middle-aged couple walked out from the carriage.
This man had a strong physique and a dignified and steady face.
As for the woman, because she had taken good care of herself, she still looked charming, like an old lady.
This couple was the Eighth Elder of the Chen’s, Chen Guang, and his wife, Xu Ningyun.
Chen Guang was the ninth brother of Yang Chen’s father’s generation. He was now 50 years old and had reached the eighth level of Qi Refinent. He could barely be considered an expert.
Of course, his talent was far inferior to his son, Chen Xiao.
Chen Guang was also happy. Who didn’t want their children to surpass them?
“Chen Guang, what do you think of my outfit?”
It seed like it was her first ti visiting her mother’s ho, so Xu Ningyun was obviously nervous and took it seriously. She specially dressed up.
A purple-blue silk dress, a purple-blue phoenix crown, and an ice-blue pearl necklace made Xu Ningyun look like a woman in her thirties.
Chen Guang glanced at his wife and said absent-mindedly,””It’s alright.”
“What do you an by alright?” Xu Ningyun raised her eyebrows.” Can you be more attentive and take a good look at ?”
Chen Guang saw that his wife was angry and smiled apologetically,””Madam, it’s not that I don’t care, but why do you have to dress up like this when you’re going back to your own mother’s house?”
“You don’t understand.”
Xu Ningyun snorted coldly.” My brothers and their wives are very wary of . Even when 1 sent a letter back, they thought 1 was going to fight for the inheritance.””
“Now that I’m back at my mother’s house, they might make things difficult for .”
“I have to prepare in advance so that they can see that 1 don’t care about what they value.”
“Alright, alright. We’re family.”
“Cut it out.”Xu Ningyun glared at him.
“Beautiful, very beautiful. Compared to you, I feel a little inferior.”
“At least you know how to talk.” Xu Ningyun’s eyebrows jumped, and her face was filled with joy.
“Let tell you, you have to give enough face this ti. When the ti cos, you can do whatever you want, even take a concubine.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. 1 never thought of taking a concubine.”
“It’s okay. Just pretend that I’m not here.”
“Even if you weren’t here, 1 would say the sa. I, Chen Guang, will never take a concubine in my life.”
“At least you know what’s good for you.”
Xu Qiu was an ordinary mber of the Xu family.
Xu Qiu, who was now in his seventies, no longer worked hard for the family. He raised flowers and played with birds in the house every day, surrounded by his descendants, and enjoyed the joy of family.
Xu Qiu’s strength was considered weak. He was at the eighth level of the Qi Refinent Stage, so he was considered decent among the Eighth-rank Nobles.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to get it. This was considered a good house among the collateral relatives.
Today, Xu Qiu did not take care of the flowers and plants. Instead, he wore a brand new brocade robe and sat in the main hall. His eyes seed to be anxious, as if he was waiting for soone.
Xu Qiu’s descendants also gathered in the main hall.
“Boss, go and see if your third sister is here.”Xu Qiu had not seen his daughter for more than twenty years, so he was naturally a little anxious.
Back then, he was unwilling to marry his daughter to the Chen family. A newly ascended ninth-rank aristocratic family, even if it was a direct descendant, how much happiness could his daughter enjoy if she followed him?
She might as well marry a branch family disciple of an eighth-rank aristocratic family. Putting everything else aside, she was still an eighth-rank aristocratic family, which was much stronger than a ninth-rank aristocratic family.
However, since his daughter was willing, he could only endure the pain.
Now that he heard that the Chen family was especially prosperous, he wondered if his daughter had enjoyed the good fortune.
Seeing this, the eldest son of the Xu family said hesitantly,”This… Father, Third Sister and 1 don’t get along. Back then, it was because of that she ran away from ho in anger.”
“Now that you want to welco you, isn’t this…”
“How long has it been?” Xu Qiu glanced at Boss.” You were young and ignorant back then. Now that more than twenty years have passed, what kind of conflict can there be?”
“This…” Seeing this, Boss Xu braced himself and said,””Alright, 1’11 go now.”
Outside Xu Qiu’s house, Xu Ningyun looked at the house that she had not seen for more than twenty years. She took a deep breath and slowly said,”Xu family, I, Xu Ningyun, am back!”
At this mont, two n in embroidered robes walked out from Xu Qiu’s courtyard.
Although he was already in his fifties, his appearance was no different from a thirty-year-old due to his cultivation.
When the eldest son of the Xu family saw his younger sister, he quickly went up to her with a smile.” Third Sister, you’re finally back. It was my fault back then. I mismatched you here.”
” Big Brother doesn’t have to be like this. “That was when I was young. I’ve long forgotten about it.” Xu Ningyun quickly replied.”
“I haven’t been ho for so many years because there are too many things to do in the Chen family. I have to take care of everything, so 1 really don’t have ti to co back.”
Chen Guang glanced at his wife. Since when did Xu Ningyun have to worry about the Chen family’s matters?
Forget it. At this ti, he had to give his wife so face.
Sure enough, when he heard Xu Ningyun’s words, the eldest son of the Xu family was stunned. Then, the smile on his face widened.” Sister, you’ve worked hard.””
Then, the eldest son of the Xu family looked at Chen Guang.” This must be brother-in-law.””
“Chen Guang greets my brothers.””
“Aiyo, brother-in-law, you don’t have to be so polite.”
The eldest son of the Xu family quickly went forward and helped Chen Guang up. A flattering smile appeared on his face.” Brother-in-law, it’s not easy for you to co here. You have to stay a little longer this ti.””
“Yes, I will.” Chen Guang nodded.
“Brother-in-law, this isn’t the place to talk. Co in with .””
“Brother is right.” Xu Ningyun smiled and nodded. Then, she turned to the Xu family servant and said,”Co, co and move the things.”
“This was brought by Chen Guang to present to father.”
Imdiately, a few servants walked out from the main residence and ca to the carriage, carrying the things that Chen Guang had brought down one by one.
There was a bag of rice, a jar of wine, a piece of demon beast at that weighed nearly a hundred jin, and so miscellaneous tea leaves, fruits, and vegetables.
It seed rather normal.
Of course, rice, wine, and at were all different.
For example, the difference between spiritual rice and rice, spiritual wine and wine, demon beast at and ordinary beast at was not small..
