Zero Soul Master

Chapter 9

"Second young master, the master told you to go over there, over the hall."

Xiao Bailian, who had just completed today's task under the hands of a certain girl with obsessive-compulsive disorder and extremely strict, hadn't taken two steps before being told that his father, Xiao Guofeng, was looking for him.

Helpless, although very tired, but since the old man called, of course he had to go.

"Understood, tell Dad, I'll wash up and go there."

He looked at the clothes that were soaked in sweat all over his body. Although he was fine, the smell of sweat was always uncomfortable.And the wet clothes are more or less uncomfortable.

After spending more than ten minutes, taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, Xiao Bailian came all the way to the hall where the Xiao family specially received guests.

"Huh? What's going on?"

He didn't respond just now, but now that he came here, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.Before Xiao Guofeng looked for him, he always felt comfortable.Why did you come here this time?

Moreover, just as he approached, he heard chatter and laughter coming from the hall.It can be heard from the voice that the people inside are talking very speculatively, and the atmosphere on both sides is also very good.

Is there a guest?

Xiao Bailian was a little curious. Speaking of which, he had been in Xiao's house for half a month since he traveled to this world, and he really hadn't seen anyone come to the door.

"Who is it?"

With such doubts, he stepped into the hall door.

"Brother Duanmu, it's been ten years since you left. Judging by your current appearance, your cultivation has greatly improved."

"Brother Xiao's words are embarrassing. Compared with Brother Xiao, I have been wasting my time these years. Not long ago, I just broke through the second-level assessment of the land grade. How can I compare with Brother Xiao? See Brother Xiao His aura should be at least level four, or even higher, right now?"

When I first entered, the first thing I saw was of course the burly Xiao Guofeng who was sitting in the first place.

There is no way, one is that his position is right in front of the door, and the other, with his figure, is too eye-catching, and it is impossible to ignore it.

But apart from Xiao Guofeng, there were several other people in the hall.

The first thing I noticed was a middle-aged man sitting first on the left.

Thin figure, slightly sickly pale complexion, not tall, probably of medium build.It can be seen immediately that this is the person who talked to Xiao Guofeng before.

Next to him was the first seat, a beautiful girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, sitting there quietly.

With just one glance, Xiao Bailian felt that his breathing stopped suddenly.

Long black hair like a cloud, a delicate face as tender as jade, and perfect facial features formed a face that is all over the country.

Just in time, the moment he stepped in, the girl seemed to have sensed something, and her eyes followed.

At that moment, the eyes of the two collided in mid-air.

Xiao Bailian felt his face was slightly hot, he had no choice, he hadn't had much contact with women in his previous life.What's more, such a beautiful woman?
"who is she?"

The doubt in his heart flashed, Xiao Bailian walked inside calmly.And Xiao Guofeng and the middle-aged man who had talked with him before also noticed his arrival.

The two stopped the conversation at the same time. When the middle-aged man saw Xiao Bailian, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and at the same time, his sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, and a very complicated look flashed across his eyes. Pass.

"Why didn't you come here until now?"

When Xiao Guofeng saw Xiao Bailian approaching, he immediately scolded softly, but it could be seen that it was not a real blame.

Um?Xiao Bailian seemed to see a trace of suppressed anger in Xiao Guofeng's eyes.But he could see that this anger was not aimed at him, but it was not because of him, and why?
"Is this the Second Young Master? Sure enough, he is a talented person, with a dignified appearance, ha ha!"

The middle-aged man spoke suddenly, then stroked his beard with one hand, his tone was rather weird.

"Come here, let me introduce you. This is Duanmu Bote from the Duanmu family, and he is your uncle."

After Xiao Guofeng finished speaking, he looked at the beautiful girl, hesitated suddenly, and did not introduce immediately, but before he opened his mouth again, the girl who had been silent all of a sudden spoke first.

"You are the second young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Bailian?"

"Rou'er! Presumptuous! Brother Xiao is talking, how can you interrupt!"

That Duanmu Bote's face changed slightly, he seemed to be blaming, but why was his tone so serious?It seems that he is very fond of this girl, but there is a kind of helplessness in it.

Xiao Bailian kept paying attention to them, and clearly saw Duanmu Bote quietly giving the girl a look.

But the girl didn't pay attention to it at all, but looked at Xiao Bailian with cold eyes, like a nobleman who was scanning a group of civilians prostrate at his feet, full of arrogance, full of pride.

"you are?"

Xiao Bailian was very strange, why did this girl look at him like...

After thinking hard for a long time, she finally came up with a very appropriate metaphor. The way she looked at herself was like looking at a lump of rice... Isn't it?Xiao Bailian suddenly realized, what does this woman mean?Why are you looking at him like that?
Although there was a little anger in his heart, Xiao Bailian was not the idiot Second Young Master of the Xiao family, with a calm expression on his face.

"Duanmu Yunrou!"

Duanmu Yunrou?

Hearing this name, Xiao Bailian's brain tingled slightly, as if some memory was about to emerge.But before he remembered, Duanmu Bote had already spoken again.

I saw him glaring at the girl named Duanmu Yunrou, then turned his head towards Xiao Guofeng and Xiao Bailian with a trace of apology and said, "Brother Xiao, nephew, I'm really sorry, this girl Rou'er is favored by the family It’s broken, big or small, please forgive me.”

"It's okay, it's okay, young people, I can understand. Speaking of which, when I was a child, my niece Xian lived in my Xiao's house for a while, but I didn't expect that she would grow up so big in the blink of an eye. Alas, time flies so fast."

Xiao Bailian glanced at his father strangely, something was wrong, according to his understanding of Xiao Guofeng, he was not such a sentimental person, why did he feel a little emotional today?
"Hehe, what Brother Xiao said is true. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and we are all old. Now it is the world of young people."

Duanmu Bote over there also nodded empathetically, and for a moment the two and a half old men actually sighed, making Xiao Bailian want to laugh when he saw it.

Suddenly, Duanmu Yunrou frowned slightly, and Qianqianyu calmly pulled Duanmu Bote beside her.

Both Xiao Bailian and Xiao Guofeng noticed her move.Xiao Bailian didn't respond at all, but Xiao Guofeng frowned even more after seeing it.

"Cough cough!"

Duanmu Bote seemed a little embarrassed, he hesitated a few times when he opened his mouth, and was urged by Duanmu Yunrou's silent eyes several times, finally sighed and continued to speak.

"Brother Xiao, we actually came today..."

"Brother Duanmu, you have traveled a long distance and the journey is tiring, how about staying temporarily today?"

Xiao Guofeng directly interrupted the opponent, and now, if Xiao Bailian has not noticed the unusual atmosphere, he can buy a piece of tofu and kill him.

Obviously, the Duanmu family and his party were the culprits that made Xiao Guofeng's mood not quite right today.

"Brother Xiao!"

Duanmu Bote suddenly raised his voice, the smile that had been on his face disappeared gradually, and changed to a rather serious expression.

"Ugh……"

Xiao Guofeng sighed softly, and at the same time glanced slightly at Xiao Bailian beside him, there was a trace of anger, a trace of helplessness, and a wry smile in that gaze.

"Brother Duanmu, do you really want to do that?"

Duanmu Bote opened his mouth, and also showed a wry smile.Suddenly, he didn't know how to speak.

As for this meeting, Xiao Bailian finally remembered what the Duanmu family was.In the memories that originally belonged to the second young master of the Xiao family, the situation about Duanmu's family flashed aside.

The Duanmu family, like the Xiao family, is also a well-known summoner family in mainland China. However, compared with the decline of the Xiao family, the Duanmu family is now in its heyday, and it is not comparable to the Xiao family.

The two used to have a good relationship a hundred years ago.Back then, the head of the Xiao family and the head of the Duanmu family were sworn brothers, and the two families have always advanced and retreated together, and they have been hard-core allies for a hundred years.

However, as the Xiao family gradually declined, the two families that had a good relationship with each other gradually began to drift apart.This situation has been especially evident in the past decade or so.

In fact, this is also normal, after all, there are no permanent friends, the Xiao family has declined over the years, and whoever replaces them will be like Duanmu's family.It can even be said that the Duanmu family still maintains an ally relationship with the Xiao family, which has surprised many people.

"Shibo Xiao!"

Just when Xiao Guofeng and Duanmu Bote fell silent, Duanmu Yunrou suddenly stood up and spoke.

"Niece Duanmu, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Since Xiao Shibo said so, then my niece is a little presumptuous."

As Duanmu Yunrou said, she glanced slightly towards Xiao Bailian, and then faced Xiao Guofeng, her voice was not high, but she said resolutely, "Xiao Shibo, this time my niece came with the clan uncle. For one thing! I also ask Xiao Shibo to agree."

"You said."

Xiao Bailian suddenly discovered that his father actually trembled slightly just now, which surprised him very much.

"Come here this time, my niece wants to dissolve the marriage contract made by the elders of the two families! I hope Xiao Shibo agrees!"

After finishing speaking, Duanmu Yunrou's eyes were not timid, and she just looked at Xiao Guofeng.Her eyes were full of determination like the sea, letting people know that no one could change her mind.

Bang!
The armrest of the sandalwood chair that Xiao Guofeng was sitting on was directly snapped off by Xiao Guofeng's palm.His whole body trembled slightly, and his breathing became short of breath.

In the eyes, the anger can no longer be suppressed, and the eyes are very terrifying.But that Duanmu Yunrou didn't flinch at all, and looked directly at Xiao Guofeng.

"My niece hopes that Shibo Xiao can agree to this rude request of my niece!"
