Chapter 81 Seeing the Guest Off
But now that the three of them had caught up, there was no excuse to drive them away. Xiao Zhan sighed helplessly in his heart.
"It's alright if you come along, but you must be careful about your words and actions. If you accidentally anger Young Master Mo Feng, even I can't save you!" Xiao Zhan warned sternly.
Although he didn't know Xiao Feng's exact strength, his clothing, demeanor, and the fact that he casually produced high-grade Xuan-level cultivation techniques and fighting skills were enough to demonstrate the power behind him. If they accidentally provoked him, the three of them would probably not escape death, and it might even implicate the entire Xiao family! This was not a situation he wanted to see.
"That's natural, that's natural," the three elders quickly replied.
Their purpose in coming here was simply to get acquainted with Xiao Feng; they had no intention of doing anything. After all, they weren't stupid, and they were well aware of Xiao Zhan's doubts.
Soon, led by Xiao Qing, the group arrived at the courtyard where Xiao Feng had insisted on staying. However, when they actually saw the courtyard in front of them, they were stunned and speechless, their hearts filled with shock.
The courtyard in front of me was full of blooming flowers, their fragrance spreading with the air. A blue stone path meandered through the courtyard, leading to an antique-style house that looked quite charming.
This is no longer the dilapidated and desolate courtyard it once was; it's now a beautiful sight!
"This, how is this possible? It wasn't like this when I left!" The impact of this change was most significant for Xiao Qing, who had just been there, so he couldn't help but scream.
Upon hearing Xiao Qing's shout, Xiao Zhan and the other three immediately narrowed their eyes, their hearts filled with shock and their faces filled with horror. This place belonged to the Xiao family and had been abandoned for a long time. Moreover, Xiao Qing had been here before, and there had been no changes at all. Therefore, this change was naturally not caused by the Xiao family.
Therefore, they were somewhat prepared for this, but when they actually heard Xiao Qing's shout and understood the meaning behind his words, their preparations were instantly shattered.
From the time Xiao Qing left to report to them and then led them back here, no more than half an incense stick's time had passed. Yet, in that short time, the courtyard before them had undergone earth-shattering changes. How could they remain calm?
"To possess such methods, Young Master Mo Feng's background is probably not so simple." At this moment, Xiao Zhan and the others thought to themselves in unison.
Now that they had come all this way, they naturally wouldn't leave like this. They stepped onto the bluestone path, walked to the door of the house, pushed open the door, and saw Xiao Feng sitting alone in the main hall.
At that moment, they seemed to see an emperor who ruled the world, majestic and unparalleled; and they also seemed to see an ethereal immortal, dreamlike and illusory.
After a moment, the group came to their senses, and Xiao Zhan quickly said, "Young Master Mo Feng, I originally wanted to persuade you, but I didn't expect such a big change to have happened here. Now it seems that the guest rooms are worlds apart from this place. You are truly amazing!"
"Clan Chief Xiao Zhan is joking. These are just some unorthodox techniques, nothing respectable," Xiao Feng replied calmly.
Hearing Xiao Feng's words, the others couldn't help but think to themselves, "This isn't even good enough? Then how strong do the truly good ones have to be?"
Everything has its own laws, and flowers bloom in their own season. It is not the time for flowers to bloom now, yet here in the courtyard, flowers are in full bloom, vying for beauty. This kind of skill cannot be viewed with ordinary eyes; it can only be called divine skill!
Xiao Zhan and the others could only see this part of the picture. They saw that Xiao Feng defied the laws of nature, but they couldn't see how difficult it was to do all this. The stronger one is, the more they can see the gap between them.
"Who are these three?" Xiao Feng asked, looking at the three smiling men behind Xiao Zhan.
In fact, he already had the answer in his heart at this moment, but since he was now a stranger, he naturally could not show that he knew the three of them well.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce them to you, young master. These three are elders of my Xiao family. They hold you in high esteem, so I, Xiao Zhan, have been impolite and brought them along."
"This is Young Master Mo Feng." Xiao Zhan quickly pointed to the three people and introduced them to Xiao Feng, and then introduced Xiao Feng's name.
"Young Master Mo Feng, we have long admired your name. We three are unfortunate to have come to visit you today. We hope you will forgive us."
Seeing an opportunity, the three quickly stepped forward, wanting to take this chance to have a good talk with Xiao Feng, or at least let him know them well, which would be of great benefit to their future actions!
"You're too kind, elders."
"Not at all, not at all. Seeing is believing. We can die without regrets after witnessing the extraordinary talent of Young Master Mo Feng today." The group quickly flattered him.
Despite the three men's flattery, Xiao Feng remained unfazed. He understood their thoughts perfectly, but he didn't want to give them that opportunity. "I was unaware of the arrival of the three elders. I am sorry for not welcoming you properly. I had hoped to have a long talk with you all night, but unfortunately, I have traveled a long way and am already exhausted. I'm afraid I cannot do so."
Xiao Feng was well aware of the character of the three elders of the Xiao family. They were opportunistic and treacherous, even plotting to seize the position of patriarch, which filled Xiao Feng with disgust. Given his strength and status, even if he concealed his identity, he wouldn't need to do anything he didn't want to do. Therefore, he did not attempt to hide his intentions, and his tone clearly conveyed his desire to dismiss them.
Hearing Xiao Feng's undisguised words, and looking closely, Xiao Feng in front of him was full of energy, had a rosy complexion, and was breathing smoothly. He didn't look like someone who had traveled a long distance and was exhausted.
How could these three elders not understand the meaning behind it?
The three elders were filled with embarrassment. They couldn't afford to offend Xiao Feng, especially since they had come without prior notice. They assumed this was why Xiao Feng was displeased and unwilling to talk to them. Who could have imagined that Xiao Feng truly disliked them?
Therefore, they could only laugh awkwardly and say, "It's alright, it's alright. Since Young Master Mo Feng is already tired, we won't bother you any longer. Young Master Mo Feng should rest as soon as possible."
