Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 26: Drastic Change (V)
Xiao Kuangyun is very crazy, and within the Xiao Clan, he does have the capital to be crazy. Don't say that his words are harsh. Even if he calls everyone in the Xiao family a dog, everyone in the Xiao family must listen honestly. No one will dare to refute, and maybe someone will wag their tail in cooperation.
"Before Elder Xiao Zheng passed away, he left his last words in mind of the love between father and son. I hope to find you and bring one of the younger generations with the best qualifications back to the Xiao Sect for training."
Xiao Kuangyun picked up a roster that Xiao Yunhai prepared overnight, looked around, and said proudly: "Today, I will personally check, and after a while, the person whose name I called will come to me to show off your profound power. However, the criterion for determining qualifications is not the strength of the mysterious force, but the foundation and potential!”
"Before coming here, my father asked me to bring a Tongxuan Powder. The selected person can not only be taken back to Xiao Sect, but also get this Tongxuan Powder as a reward! Good elixirs can only be given to those with sufficient qualifications. Enjoy it and use it on garbage, it will only be a waste!" At this point, Xiao Kuangyun looked sideways at Xiao Yunhai: "Master Xiao, take out the Tongxuan Powder. Although this is a gift for your Xiao Clan, it is a reward. You should have no objection to giving it to the person with the best qualifications.”
Xiao Kuangyun's words, no matter how absurd they were, Xiao Yunhai did not dare to make any sense. But after listening to his words, Xiao Yunhai's face suddenly turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He did not move to get Tongxuan Powder, but stood there, hesitating in his mouth.
"What's going on?" Xiao Kuangyun's face turned gloomy: "Master Xiao, are you reluctant to part with this Tongxuan Powder?"
"No, no, of course not." Xiao Yunhai shook his head quickly, looking horrified: "It's just... it's just..."
"Just what?"
With a "pop", Xiao Yunhai knelt down on one knee, his hands were trembling, and he said with fear on his face: "I...I deserve to die...I put the Tongxuan Powder that Mr. Xiao gave me yesterday in my Xiao family's pharmacy. I also told the people in the pharmacy to take good care of it. But...but this morning, the people in the pharmacy suddenly came to tell me that the Tongxuan Powder in the pharmacy...went missing!"
Wow - the crowd below suddenly became chaotic and noisy.
Stealing the treasure brought by the Xiao Sect...who is so bold!
"Huh?" Xiao Che frowned slightly, feeling confused... Based on his understanding of Xiao Yunhai for more than ten years, he is a very cautious person. With his character, after receiving the treasure brought by Xiao Sect, he did not take it with him, but gave it to the pharmacy. This is a bit unreasonable... You must know that Xiao Gu is the only person in the pharmacy, and he focuses on medical skills. , there is almost no profound power, so the medicine room can be regarded as the weakest place in Xiao Clan's internal defense.
Moreover, Tongxuan Powder was brought by the Xiao Sect. Even if someone coveted it, they should at least wait until the Xiao Sect's people left before taking action. Why choose such a dangerous time... Even if you steal it, you still have the life to use it. ?
Xiao Lie's whole body trembled, and he suddenly looked sideways at Xiao Lingxi, only to find that Xiao Lingxi also had a face full of surprise. Feeling Xiao Lie's gaze, Xiao Lingxi quickly shook her head vigorously, indicating that it had nothing to do with her. Only then did Xiao Lie look away and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"What!!"
Xiao Kuangyun suddenly stood up from his seat, his face became extremely stern, and his whole body was full of evil energy. He looked at Xiao Yunhai and said viciously: "You mean... someone actually stole the box of Tongxuan Powder? "
"I didn't protect you well, please punish Master Xiao." Xiao Yunhai lowered his head, his face full of shame and panic.
"That's unreasonable!" Xiao Kuangyun took a deep breath, his chest heaved heavily, his face became more and more gloomy, and he was obviously extremely angry: "Someone dared to steal our Xiao Sect's gifts... Good! That's good! I'm such a little kid. After seeing this Liuyun City! You are really... bold!"
Xiao Kuangyun's anger and murderous intent almost spread throughout the Xiao family, making everyone's spines run cold and their hearts twitch. They didn't dare to take a breath and lowered their heads in panic, fearing that they would be targeted by Xiao Kuangyun.
Xiao Che half-squinted his eyes and looked directly into Xiao Kuangyun's eyes. After a while, he poked Xiao Lie and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, did the sect master offend Xiao Kuangyun yesterday? ?”
Xiao Lie was startled, then shook his head: "Xiao Yunhai has always been cautious, so he shouldn't be so cautious."
"That's strange." Xiao Che nodded his chin and said in a low voice: "This Xiao Kuangyun's anger is obviously fake. If the sect leader offends him, he will commit suicide and then disgust the sect leader. If not, it’s a good explanation. If not... is this Xiao Kuangyun performing the monkey act alone? "
"...Don't talk nonsense." Xiao Lie reminded in a low voice without understanding what he was saying.
Xiao Kuangyun's eyes were venomous and his face was as gloomy as a dark cloud: "When I took out the Tongxuan Powder yesterday, there were only people from the Xiao Clan around. I don't think you people from the Xiao Clan would be so stupid as to publicize the fact that you got the high-grade elixir. In the ears of outsiders. In addition, your Xiao Clan’s defense strength is not weak in Liuyun City. It is not easy to break in... Then, it must be that there is a thief in your Xiao Clan. !”
Xiao Kuangyun's words caused everyone in the Xiao Clan to change their expressions, and the whispers became louder as they stood up. Xiao Yunhai also nodded quickly: "Yes! Mr. Xiao Mingjian, after knowing that Tongxuan Powder was stolen, I also thought that it was someone from our Xiao family who stole it. Xiao Gu from the pharmacy is nearly sixty years old and has always been aloof from the world. Zheng, he has no desire for Tongxuan Powder at all, so he shouldn’t be the one stealing it, other people may be suspects.”
"Hmph! The mere Xiao Clan is not worth mentioning in the eyes of our Xiao Sect! Any servant of our Xiao Sect can single-handedly destroy all of your clan! This time we deigned to condescend and travel thousands of miles to your Xiao Clan. You are so generous and generous... but you gave me such a big surprise! This is a slap in the face of our Xiao clan!"
Slapping the Xiao clan in the face... This extremely heinous crime made Xiao Yunhai's face turn pale all of a sudden.
Xiao Kuangyun's eyes were like poisonous snakes, scanning over the faces one after another. Everyone who was touched by his eyes lowered their heads like lightning. No one dared to look at him... But this was not the look in Xiao Kuangyun's eyes at all. How sharp he is, or how tyrannical his aura is, is just because there is a giant Xiao Sect behind him.
Xiao Che's gaze shifted to Xiao Yunhai's face, and his expression became even darker. He whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "This Xiao Yunhai's appearance is actually fake... What are they going to do? What to do?”
Xiao Che's memories of his two lives, especially the one in Cangyun Continent, were that he experienced countless good and evil experiences, walked through countless edges of life and death, went from being a common citizen to becoming the overlord of the world, and saw countless people. His eyesight is so vicious that even a powerful profound practitioner who has lived for hundreds of years may not be able to match it.
Xiao Kuangyun looked around again, and his tone suddenly softened: "Forget it, although it is very sad, I can't be angry with people from a small place like you. The person who stole Tongxuan Powder, give you 15 seconds , stand up obediently, and then hand over the Tongxuan Powder, I may be able to forgive you for the first time! If you persist in persisting, don't blame me for being rude."
"Xiao Ba, start counting!"
After Xiao Kuangyun finished speaking, he snorted coldly and sat back on his seat. The young man in black on his left has taken a step forward and started counting the seconds in a low voice.
Xiao Yunhai turned around quickly and said loudly: "Did you hear that evil beast who stole Tongxuan San? Mr. Xiao is tolerant of a lot of people, but if you don't get lost quickly, come up and apologize! Otherwise, don't say anything about Mr. Xiao, we Everyone in the Xiao family will definitely not forgive you!"
"...Twelve...Eleven...Ten...Nine..." The man in black named Xiao Ba read the numbers mechanically.
Everyone in the Xiao Clan turned to look at the people around them, wondering who was so bold as to steal the things brought by the Xiao Sect. Although Xiao Kuangyun shouted "light mercy" in his mouth, looking at his eyes, no one believed that he would get "light mercy" from him after voluntarily pleading guilty.
"...four...three...two...one...time's up!"
Xiao Ba's voice fell, and then he took a step back. Xiao Kuangyun stood up again, his eyes were sinister and he sneered: "I have already given you the opportunity. Since you are still ignorant, when you are caught by me, don't blame my men for being ruthless! Xiao Nine!"
"yes!"
Following Xiao Kuangyun's shout, another young man in black took a step forward, then immediately raised his palm, and a vortex of profound energy quickly condensed in his palm.
"Master Xiao, Tongxuan Powder was stolen together with the box, right?"
"Yes, they were stolen together." Xiao Yunhai nodded, with a puzzled expression on his face, as if he didn't understand why he asked this.
"Very good... On the box containing the Tongxuan Powder, there is our Xiao Sect's unique profound strength mark - the Sky Eagle Seal! As long as our Xiao Sect's unique profound strength is activated, we can quickly sense the nearby The location of the Sky Eagle Seal!"
As soon as Xiao Kuangyun finished speaking, Xiao Jiu suddenly put down his hand, growled "over there", then turned into a violent wind and rushed towards the right side like lightning. His speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye he Just disappeared from people's sight.
"Haha, it seems that I have found it." Xiao Kuangyun sneered, a deep look of amusement flashed in the depths of his eyes... He seemed to be very satisfied with his performance.
"That's great. As expected of the Xiao Sect, it is indeed watertight." Xiao Yunhai also looked happy, and then his face darkened, and he said seriously: "Master Xiao, the nature of this matter is too bad. It not only made Master Xiao angry, but also made him angry." Our Xiao family has lost face. Therefore, no matter who the thief is, it is my son. Mr. Xiao does not need to have any scruples. He must be severely punished!"
"Hmph! Of course, anyone who offends my Xiao Sect will never end well!"
At this time, a gust of wind blew by, and Xiao Jiu had already rushed back. He was holding a wooden box in his hand. The sky eagle on the wooden box was still faintly glowing. This wooden box was the one Xiao Kuangyun gave to Xiao yesterday. The sea of clouds contains the Tongxuan Powder.
"Master, I found it." Xiao Jiu handed the wooden box to Xiao Kuangyun's hand, and then backed away silently.
All the whispers stopped, the surroundings became audible, and the atmosphere completely condensed. Everyone stared wide-eyed and held their breath, waiting to see who was brave enough to steal Tongxuan Powder... They could foresee how tragic that person's end would be.
"Xiao Jiu, where did you find this box?" Xiao Kuangyun said with a sneer.
"Yard No. 66, under the pillow in the main room." Xiao Jiu answered clearly with no expression on his face.
Courtyard No. 66...
All eyes were suddenly focused in one direction, looking at the girl who seemed to be stunned in disbelief.
When she heard the words "Court No. 66," Xiao Lingxi was completely stunned. Looking at the eyes that turned to her, she stepped back, shook her head in panic, and said in a voiceless voice: "It's not me..." Not me!"
