People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 22 Goodbye, Wutan City!

As usual, Chen Xiao and Xun'er returned to the Xiao family one after another.

As soon as he stepped through the gate, Chen Xiao saw Xiao Zhan and the three elders watching from a distance, as if they were waiting for something.

"It seems that Brother Chen Xiao has been exposed."

Xun'er was very smart. When she saw the appearance of the people, she guessed what was going on immediately.

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, without any other thoughts.

When he was in the Xiao family before, Chen Xiao didn't want to owe too many people favors, so he tried his best to conceal his strength and did his daily work to perfection so that no one could find any fault with him. He exchanged his labor for daily food.

Now that he has plans to leave, it won't be any trouble if he reveals his strength.

That was why he did not think of hiding anything when he went to the Oba family.

Go with confidence and come back with confidence.

As a result, many people in the Oba family had seen him during this process, even Galebi and others had met him.

Since the Xiao family is involved in the division of the Oba family, they only need to inquire a little carefully to know the whole story.

"Go over and take a look."

Seeing the two people walking in, Xiao Zhan and the three elders quickly went to greet them.

Xun'er's identity goes without saying.

Just the fact that Chen Xiao was able to defeat Obapa alone was enough to make them treat him with courtesy.

"Uncle Xiao Zhan."

"Chief, three elders."

Xiao Zhan and the three elders had already thought of a lot of words to say, but when they got closer and heard the two people's ordinary greetings, they suddenly didn't know how to start.

They had already figured out that Chen Xiao grew up in the Xiao family, but it was not until today that they truly remembered the existence of such a person.

Cultivate connections?

Where to climb?

Thinking of this, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little regretful that he discovered it too late.

"Xun'er, and Chen Xiao... my friends, you're back."

"Clan leader, please just call me by my name. Although Chen Xiao is not a member of the Xiao family, he grew up in the Xiao family. There is no need to be so estranged."

Xiao Zhan understood what was said, and so did the First Elder and the Second Elder. Only the Third Elder reacted a little slower.

"Alright, then I won't be so hypocritical. Thank you, Chen Xiao, for letting Xun'er know in advance about what happened last night. It has brought a lot of benefits to my Xiao family. Also, although we didn't know about it before, it's not appropriate for you and the guards to live there anymore. I will have someone arrange a new place for you."

Xiao Zhan expressed his gratitude first, then quickly made arrangements and said.

Standing in front of Chen Xiao at this moment, he has already realized that he cannot see through Chen Xiao's strength at all.

What this means is obvious.

Compared with this, even his youngest son, who made him so proud, seemed insignificant.

"There's no need to bother, Patriarch. My family feud has been avenged, and I've made up my mind to travel far away tomorrow. Over the years, relying on the Xiao family's support, I have been able to cultivate with peace of mind. Chen Xiao expresses his gratitude. If the Xiao family needs me in the future, I will do my best to help, and I will not refuse."

Chen Xiao spoke sincerely, but Xiao Zhan and the three elders understood that this kind of affection could not last long.

Chen Xiao might lend a helping hand once or twice, but if it happens too many times, the friendship will be exhausted.

Therefore, if you really treat him as a helper who can be summoned and dismissed at will just because of this sentence, you are totally wrong.

"Are you leaving tomorrow? Why so hasty?"

"It was decided a long time ago. Chen Xiao still needs to pack his bags. Clan leader, three elders, goodbye."

Chen Xiao clasped his fists slightly and went straight to his residence without saying anything more.

Xun'er followed closely behind.

Watching the two people walking further and further away, the third elder suddenly became a little anxious.

"Clan leader, we should tell him about the farewell. Also, although our Xiao family is not big, we can still provide some cultivation resources. It will definitely be beneficial to befriend him!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan remained silent, simply shaking his head. The Great Elder then spoke up, "Third Brother, forget it. Too much is as bad as too little. If Chen Xiao really wanted to deepen his relationship with us, he would have revealed his strength long ago. With his talent, how could our Xiao Family not focus on training him?"

"Yes, his name is Chen Xiao, not Xiao Chen. Maintaining the existing incense relationship is enough. Forcing attachment will only make people annoying. Let him be. From what happened to the Oba family, we can see that he is a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. Since he said so today, if my Xiao family encounters difficulties in the future, he will definitely not stand idly by."

The second elder also echoed.

After hearing what the two said, the third elder finally understood.

It seems that it is true.

It's good enough that Chen Xiao is grateful for the Xiao family's care over the years. If he were a more cold-blooded person, there would be nothing to say even if he completely cut off ties with the Xiao family.

"Alas, what a pity, we discovered it too late, or to be more precise, he hid it too well. I guess only Xun'er knows something about the entire Xiao family." The third elder accepted the reality and sighed.

"The past cannot be changed, so the future must be grasped. Xiao Yan's talent is also rare in a century. When he grows up, perhaps he and Chen Xiao will have more interactions."

"Looking at it this way, isn't the future of my Xiao family a smooth one?"

The first elder and the second elder looked forward to it, and couldn't help but smile on their old faces.

It’s no wonder that at this point in time, the atmosphere among the Xiao family’s top management is exceptionally harmonious.

It’s a pity that this atmosphere probably won’t last long.

...

the other side.

Packing was just an excuse. After getting the storage ring, Chen Xiao always carried the more important things with him.

As for the bedding and other miscellaneous items in the hut, Chen Xiao had no intention of taking them away. There was no need to, and they took up too much space.

The space in a low-level storage ring is limited, so you need to use it carefully.

So, Chen Xiao took a walk and brought Xun'er to the back mountain of the Xiao family.

Today, I will not practice cultivation or training fighting skills. I will just lie down and watch the clouds roll by, stealing a half day of leisure from my busy life.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the sky, Chen Xiao glanced at the girl sitting quietly beside him.

"Xun'er..."

The girl looked over.

Chen Xiao swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, shook his head and laughed.

"I wanted to say a few words of farewell, but then I thought, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet again in the future, so I decided not to spoil the mood."

"I remember Brother Chen Xiao said he'd be heading to Canaan College in six months. After thinking it over, it seems the only chance we'll see each other again is when Brother Chen Xiao comes back to register. How can there be plenty of opportunities?"

The girl, who had always been well-behaved and obedient, rarely showed her playful side today. She blinked her clear eyes innocently, as if she was really confused.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, "Wutan City is too small, so small that it doesn't suit Xun'er's temperament. If I continue to stay in Wutan City, I'm afraid the opportunities to meet Xun'er will become fewer and fewer in the future."

"Only by going out, out of the Jiama Empire, out of the Northwestern Continent, can we see the countless wonders and scenic sights that we long for. Perhaps, only then can we meet Xun'er at the summit."

Xun'er, who was sitting next to him, was stunned, and her eyes looked at Chen Xiao with a change.

See you at the top, what a beautiful word.

Maybe he doesn't even realize what a lofty goal he has set for himself.

"Then Xun'er will look forward to that day."

Chen Xiao nodded slightly, said no more, and quietly enjoyed this rare leisure time.

...

The next day.

Outside Wutan City.

Chen Xiao, wearing new clothes, walked out towards the rising sun, gazing into the distance.

The filthiness of the past is not worth boasting about, but today my unbridled thoughts have no limits.

"Goodbye, Wutan City!"
