"Xiao Yuanjing, as the head of the Xiao family, you just ignore external affairs. After such a big incident, you still look ignorant. Alright, I'll let you know for now. Now, you can listen carefully."

Xiahou Heng said slowly, "Your Xiao Yun from the Xiao family has committed a heinous mistake in Tianluo Sect, killing disciples of the same sect, even confronting elders, and even resisting capture. That's all for it. Xiao Yun has unknowingly offended Lingyu Ji."

Upon hearing these words, everyone present in the Xiao family was shocked.

Xiao Yuanjing's face was tense.

"You should know who Lingyu Ji is, right? She is a disciple passed down by the head of the Tianluo Sect. With such an identity, your Xiao family can only look up to her in the future."

Xiahou Heng raised his right corner of his mouth slightly and said, "Also, I'm not afraid to tell you. Just three days ago, there was news from the Tianluo Sect that the Supreme Elder of the Tianluo Sect had left and publicly announced Lingyu Ji as the first disciple. You should know what the first disciple is, right?"

Xiao Yuanjing and others had a dramatic change in their expressions.

The identity of the first disciple of the Tianluo Sect is well known to Xiao Yuanjing and others. Throughout history, the leaders of the Tianluo Sect have been succeeded by the first disciple. If there is no first disciple, they will be selected from their own lineage and core disciples.

Simply put, the first disciple is the future Tianluo Sect Leader.

Once he becomes the first disciple of the Tianluo Sect, if nothing unexpected happens, in the next ten to twenty years, when the current sect leader resigns, he can directly succeed as the new sect leader.

"Offending the future leader of Tianluo Sect, and even offending him to death, your Xiao family's Xiao Yun really doesn't know how to live or die. Lingyu Ji has already sent a message, saying that your Xiao family is willing to hand over Xiao Yun now, so that they can forget their past." Xiahou Heng gently shook the fan and said.

"What if we don't pay?" Xiao Lan gritted her teeth.

"If we don't make it, you Xiao family won't have a better day today." Xiahou Heng waved his hand, and the black and white elders behind him quickly rushed forward. A group of black armored guards rushed forward with a sense of solemnity.

At the same time, on the highlands in all directions, densely packed black armored guards appeared, and a large number of crossbow carts emerged, with sharp crossbows flashing with cold rays.

Xiao Lan's face changed. This crossbow was used to deal with Wu Xiu, and even Wu Xiu in the Rongyuan realm could not resist the penetrating power of this crossbow.

If it were a salvo, I'm afraid most of the Xiao family in this inner hall would die.

"My time is precious and I don't want to waste it here in vain. In the end, I'll give you a chance. Within three breath time, as long as you hand over Xiao Yun," Xiahou Heng clasped his nails and squinted his eyes, saying.

"Three!"

"Two!"

There was a clear sound of bowing all around, and the crossbow had already begun to be strung.

Xiao Yuanjing and others looked tense, but they had already activated their true qi and were ready to take action at any time.

"One!" Xiahou Heng squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Yuanjing and others. He raised his right hand high, ready to press it down, and ordered the crossbow to shoot.

Xiao Yun is ready to stand up.

Suddenly, a beautiful shadow swept out, and it was none other than Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu's figure was extremely beautiful, and he had already become particularly charming. Xiahou Heng had seen Xiao Yu before, but he didn't expect to see him for a few years. Xiao Yu was so beautiful and had a unique cold temperament.

"Xiahou Heng, let them shoot their crossbows and give it a try. If I die here, do you think the Ice Heart Sect will come to find you? Will the Xiahou royal family protect you at that time? Or do you want to provoke a war between the Xiahou royal family and the Ice Heart Sect?"

Xiao Yu took out an ice crystal token and raised it high, with the words Bing Luo written on it.

"The token of the Ice Luo Great Protector Sect..." Xiahou Heng suddenly put away his folding fan, and his smile disappeared in an instant, replaced by a rare solemnity.

The Ice Heart Sect has two major guardians, ranking second only to the sect leader.

After these two major sect protectors accept their disciples, they will give them a token engraved with their own names, and the disciple who holds this token will automatically be ranked as the core disciple.

The key is that they are not just ordinary core disciples, but also inheriting disciples of the Da Hu Sect, which is only slightly inferior to the disciples personally passed down by the sect leader.

Xiahou Heng's face darkened. He didn't expect Xiao Yu to return to the Xiao family at this time, and she was no longer a disciple of the Inner Sect. Moreover, there was a core disciple and a great protector of the Ice Luo Sect behind her.

If Xiao Yu is just an ordinary disciple of the Inner Sect, then even if Xiahou Heng is killed, the Ice Heart Sect will at most demand some compensation.

But now Xiao Yu is not a disciple of the Inner Sect, but a personal disciple of the Great Protector Sect. If he were to be killed, the Ice Luo Great Protector Sect, the Protector, would have to personally find him.

"You Xiao family are really lucky, let's go!"

After giving Xiao Yu a deep glance, Xiahou Heng waved his hand and the high-altitude black armored guards put away their crossbow carts and retreated.

The hearts lifted high by Xiao Yuanjing and others slowly relaxed.

Xiahou Heng, who was preparing to leave, turned his head and fixed his gaze on Xiao Yu. "As a disciple of the Ice Luo Great Protector Sect, you will participate in the battle for entry into the Nangong Martial Palace in a month's time, won't you?"

"Of course!" Xiao Yu replied lightly.

"Then you must act on your own, don't die in competition, otherwise your Xiao family will suffer." Xiahou Heng finished snorting and retreated with his black armored guards.

At this moment, the Xiao family truly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, everyone became excited, and Xiao Yu became a disciple of the Ice Heart Sect's Great Protector Sect, which was a great thing for the Xiao family.

"You girl, since you have been adopted as a disciple by the Ice Luo Protector, why didn't you tell your father earlier?" Xiao Yuanjing couldn't help but smile and said, his eyes filled with relief.

"You only have Xiao Yun in your eyes, where is there me?" Xiao Yu snorted and turned back to the inner hall.

Xiao Yuanjing sneered and shook his head helplessly. He was well aware of his youngest daughter's temper, and from childhood to adulthood, he believed that he was too biased towards Xiao Yun.

"Dad, my little sister has been thinking that you are too fond of Xiao Yun these years. Why don't you tell her the truth?" Xiao Lan walked over and said, although she has a carefree personality, her mind is actually very meticulous.

"It's still early," Xiao Yuanjing shook his head.

"What about Xiao Yun? Don't you tell him his background? He's almost an adult now. This time something like this happened, fortunately he came back alive. If he had an accident, wouldn't it be impossible to know the origins of his parents in this lifetime?" Xiao Lan frowned and said.

"Let him know when there's a chance," Xiao Yuanjing sighed deeply.

"How should Xiao Yun arrange now?" Xiao Lan asked.

"Let him stay at home for two days first, and when the wind blows, immediately send him away from the Xiao family," said Xiao Yuanjing.

"Leaving the Xiao family? Why? With a little sister around, this is the safest place. If we take Xiao Yun out, we will inevitably encounter risks," Xiao Lan said with a puzzled expression on her face.

"You're wrong, the Xiao family is currently at the forefront of the storm. Although there is temporary protection from Rain, Rain will be heading to the Xuancheng of the Dayan Dynasty in a month. If the Xiahou royal family encounters a disaster at this time, even if we fight to death, we won't be able to protect Xiao Yun."

"Don't worry, I will take him to a safe place in two days. As long as he stays there peacefully, he will have a worry free life," said Xiao Yuanjing.

Dongyuan.

This is the place where Xiao Yun lived from childhood to adulthood. Because he liked quietness since childhood, he lived in a relatively remote eastern courtyard.

Before dawn, Xiao Yun was already practicing with a knife in the courtyard.

Fen

The steel knife is sometimes lightly swung and sometimes heavily chopped.

Every time he swung, Xiao Yun's body would rise and fall with the steel knife, but it looked a bit unattractive, as if he was swinging the knife without any organization.

"Are you still trying to seek revenge like this? I advise you not to waste your efforts anymore." Xiao Yu's voice suddenly came, and she was standing not far away in an ice blue gauze skirt, her temperament still cold.
