Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

"Make a fuss?! I've only said a few words since I came into this house. What am I making a fuss about?" Zhong Lixiao pushed Zhong Liyao away and walked away. "Lan'er, let's go."

"Brother..." Zhong Liyao was anxious and grabbed Zhong Lixiao's hand. "This is your home. Where are you going? As for the removal, I can just write your name back on the family tree. Please don't leave, okay?"

Xie Jinglan saw that Zhongli Yao was sincere in what he said, and it seemed that he was not acting.

But for Zhongli Yao to be able to sit in the position of the head of the family, he must be very cunning. He must have some purpose in trying to keep the master. Or maybe he has something to ask of the master.

"Let go." Zhongli Xiao said coldly, not wanting to explain too much.

"Brother, I know you've suffered for decades! It's all because I, your younger brother, am useless..." Before Zhong Liyao could finish his words, he was interrupted by the tall and thin elder of the clan:

"If he wants to leave, let him go! If he dares to leave the Zhongli family's gate, he must never come back!"

Zhongli Yao was secretly anxious. He had finally managed to invite the people back, and he couldn't let these two people leave like that.

Ever since Zhongli Xiao was driven away, the Zhongli family began to go downhill. The talents of the disciples in the family became less and less with each generation, and there has never been a prodigy like Zhongli Xiao again.

If it weren't for the Nangong family's secret help over the years, allowing their family to sneak through the Dongzhou biannual competition, the Zhongli family would have been eliminated from the top ten long ago!

If you are dropped out of the top ten, not only will you be looked down upon by other families and sects, but good resources will also be taken away.

Therefore, the old patriarch was worried. For the future and destiny of the Zhongli family, he opened the door of the family's Heavenly Eye and poured all his spiritual power and vitality into the ancient divination instrument. He did not hesitate to use all his life force until his life span was exhausted. Only then did he finally get a glimpse of the family's future fortune.

The old patriarch vomited blood and collapsed to the ground, dying. Before he died, he sent everyone away and left only him, and told him the secret of the hexagram.

It turns out that Zhongli Xiao is the son of luck for the family. He regrets driving Zhongli Xiao out of the family and tells him to invite Zhongli Xiao back so that the Zhongli family can be revitalized. Otherwise, the Zhongli family will decline within fifty years.

The old patriarch kept looking at him until he nodded and agreed to invite Zhong Li Xiao home, and then he closed his eyes and died.

After the old patriarch passed away, he succeeded him as the patriarch and enjoyed all the glory of the family. He was met with flattery and compliments wherever he went, and had long forgotten the old patriarch's last words.

But the family's fortunes were declining year by year, and the head of the Nangong family became more and more disappointed in him. He said that if this continued, he would no longer use anyone from the Nangong family to help him fight.

He was anxious! Then he remembered Zhongli Xiao in Guangyuan Continent.

But he was reluctant to ask him to invite Zhongli Xiao back. If this matter were to get out, wouldn't it be like telling the world that he was not as good as Zhongli Xiao?

In this way, he postponed the matter of calling Zhong Lixiao year after year. Anyway, it had been fifty years since the family declined. If things really didn't work out, he would just call him back.

With his grandmother around, even if the Nangong family had complaints about him, she would not let the Zhongli family fall into decline.

It was not until the Wuhua Villa competition that Xie Jinglan and the Chaos Sword appeared, and she said that she was Zhong Lixiao's disciple.

He was very happy in his heart. He finally had an excuse to invite Zhongli Xiao back. As long as this person came back, the fortune of the Zhongli family would be back, and he would not have to give up the position of the head of the family. It was really a good idea to have the best of both worlds.

While he was thinking about this, Zhongli Xiao and Xie Jinglan had already walked away.

"Brother..." Zhongli Yao was so anxious that he wanted to catch up again.

"Zhongli Yao, stop!" The elder behind him called out to him.

"Elders, we can't let my eldest brother go!" Zhong Liyao was anxious and wanted to cry, but he didn't want to tell them the prophecy made by the old patriarch, as that would make him seem too incompetent.

"Master, you are too kind! You care about the brotherhood, but he doesn't appreciate it at all. Why bother to put your warm face on someone else's cold butt? Humph! Without the protection of our Zhongli family, let's see how long he can stay in this middle world?" An elder snorted coldly.

"This evil creature is simply stubborn and unrepentant. If he had half the responsibility of the patriarch, he wouldn't have been driven to Guangyuan Continent by the old patriarch."

"What an unfilial son and grandson, what a misfortune for our family..."

Zhongli Yao ignored the curses of several elders behind him and hurried out the gate, but there was no sign of Zhongli Xiao and Xie Jinglan.

********

After leaving Zhongli's house, Xie Jinglan saw that Zhongli Xiao had a sullen expression on his face, so she advised him, "Master, there's no need to be angry at people who are not worthy. Once the seal in your body is released, you will be able to establish your own sect with your strength."

Hearing her words, Zhongli Xiao smiled bitterly, "Lan'er, isn't it a failure for your teacher to be like this?"

"No." Xie Jinglan took his hand and shook her head. "Master, I know you are one of the best people in the world. It's them who are blind."

Zhong Lixiao looked at her, his tense face relaxing. "Lan'er, I have two disciples, you and Yuan'er. I have no regrets in this life!"

"Well, then Master, you are not angry anymore?" Xie Jinglan made a playful face at him.

"You girl!" Zhongli Xiao forced an ugly smile.

"I'll contact my master first to see if he can help you remove the seal on your body." Xie Jinglan took out the voice stone with her mind and left a message to Zou Ting.

As soon as she finished speaking, Zou Ting's face appeared. "What kind of seal is this? I need to see it first. You should go back to the Xingxiu Inn in Tiandu City first."

"Got it!" Xie Jinglan said, putting away the sound transmission stone. "Master, we have to return to Zhongzhou."

"Let's go." The two of them disappeared in a flash.

Tiandu City, "Xingxiu" Inn.

Manager Bi led Xie Jinglan and Zhong Lixiao out of the back door of the inn and said respectfully, "The master has been waiting for you for a long time. Please go over there, I will not go over."

"Thank you, boss!" Xie Jinglan nodded slightly to him and led Zhong Lixiao towards the house.

When they walked in, they saw Zou Ting sitting in the main seat, and Cao Li was sitting in the lower seat.

Seeing them coming, both of them stood up.

"Miss Xie, I'm finally able to see you!" Cao Li spoke first.

"Thank you for your concern." Xie Jinglan said to him lightly.

"Brother Chang Qing, I never thought that we would meet again." Zhongli Xiao bowed first.

"Brother Li Xiao, it's been ages!" Zou Ting also bowed. "Now that you're here, there's no need to be polite. Sit down and talk!"

"Junior Cao Li greets the Sect Master!" Cao Li also bowed to Zhong Li Xiao.

"No need to be so polite." Zhongli Xiao gave a light support with his hand.

Xie Jinglan looked at the two masters and listened to their polite words. It turned out that they had known each other for a long time!
