Chapter 2102

Zhong Yejing, who was behind Xiao Hua, clearly understood what was going on. She couldn't help but feel somewhat anxious in her heart. This Xiao Hua was truly somewhat mysterious. Not only did he use a divine ability, but his actions of helping the people of the secular world made Zhong Yejing feel that … Xiao Hua was absolutely not a simple late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!

Not long after, Xiao Hua followed Zhong Peifu to the Zhong Ling Mountain Villa.

It was a rather large gate, several times larger than the one Xiao Hua had seen in the Cai Family in Luyang. Moreover, just like the Cai Family, there was a vermilion gate in the middle. In fact, it was actually a plaque. The word "Zhong" on the plaque was extremely large. It also looked strange and different from the usual style. It actually looked somewhat like an armor inscription!

On both sides of the main door were two side doors. Although they were also vermillion red, they were much smaller.

At this moment, the side door on the left was already wide open. Several Aura Refining disciples were standing there, dressed in bright clothes.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao!"

Zhong Peifu pointed at the main door and smiled, "My Zhong Clan's Clan Head is a Golden Core cultivator. Therefore, the main door of my Zhong Clan can only be opened by the Clan Head when a Golden Core cultivator or above comes to visit the Zhong Clan.

Fellow Daoist Xiao … although you're a disciple of the Imperial Thunder Sect, you still have to go through this side door! "

"En, it's fine!" Xiao Hua seemed to have an extremely good temper. He didn't care about this kind of vulgar etiquette and nodded slightly.

"Please!" Zhong Peifu gestured with his hand as he led Xiao Hua through the side door.

"Welcome to our Zhong Clan, Senior Xiao!" Several Aura Refining disciples bowed together. Their loud and clear voices soared into the sky.

"Haha." Xiao Hua slightly nodded.

"Fortunately!" Seeing that Xiao Hua's face didn't have any particular displeasure, Zhong Yejing's heart calmed down a little.

Among the cultivation aristocratic families, Xiao Hua had been to Luyang's Cai Family and Misty Mountain's Ling Family. Obviously, the Zhong Family's structure was similar to the Cai Family's, but the Zhong Family's manor was far from comparable to the Cai Family's!

Not to mention, the area it occupied, and not to mention the pavilions, terraces, and pavilions, but from time to time, immortal birds would appear, and from time to time, there would be strange flowers and plants by the side of the lake. This made Xiao Hua's eyes light up, and he knew that the Zhong family's foundation was also extraordinary.

No matter what, the Zhong Family's Patriarch, Zhong Tianyao, was also a Golden Core cultivator. If the Zhong Family did not have a solid foundation, it would be impossible for them to have such a Patriarch!

There was no need to elaborate on the scenery of the Zhong Ling Mountain Villa. Under Zhong Peifu's guidance, Xiao Hua arrived at a unique courtyard.

Seeing Zhong Peifu walk straight in, Zhong Yejing frowned slightly. She sighed in her heart and regained her composure. She had already done what she could and said what she needed to say. This was all arranged by the Patriarch and she had nothing to say!

Inside the courtyard was a quiet hall. It was also quite large. An old man with white hair sat in the middle of the hall. He was holding a book in his hand and his eyebrows were slightly furrowed. It was unknown whether he was reading or thinking. Beside the old man sat a skinny old man. He was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. He had a bitter expression on his face, but it was impossible to tell what his expression was.

"Reporting to Patriarch, this is Xiao Hua of the Imperial Thunder Sect. He is the cultivator that Jing 'er brought here!" Zhong Peifu bowed and said.

"Oh, so you're a disciple of the Imperial Thunder Sect!"

Zhong Tianyao put down the book in his hand and swept his gaze over Xiao Hua. At the same time, he also used a spell to sense Xiao Hua's cultivation. He smiled and said, "No wonder he could scare off a late stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. This disciple of a large sect is indeed formidable!"

"Junior Xiao Hua greets Senior Zhong!" Xiao Hua didn't dare to neglect and bowed to greet Zhong Tianyao.

"En, sit down!" Zhong Tianyao pointed at Xiao Hua and said.

"Thank you, Senior, for granting me a seat!" Xiao Hua modestly sat beside Xue Xue.

Xue Xue lowered her head and didn't say a word. However, she was somewhat angry in her heart. She understood in her heart that even if she, an Aura Refining cultivator, didn't reveal her identity, not to mention Xiao Hua. Since she had already revealed her identity, she represented the Imperial Thunder Sect and the Zhong Family to receive her in the real welcoming hall!

Of course, the etiquette of an Aura Refining cultivator towards a Golden Core cultivator was universal in the Xiaoyu Continent, regardless of your identity!

Zhong Tianyao receiving Xiao Hua here was rude in terms of etiquette. In terms of attitude, he was looking down on Xiao Hua!

When the Zhong Family disciple served the spirit tea, the cultivator at the side said, "Jing Er, what you said in the Summoning Talisman was unclear. Now, explain the ins and outs of the matter in front of the Master. Why are you with the disciples of Misty Clouds Sect and Xu Family?"

"Yes, Third Uncle." Zhong Yejing glanced at Xiao Hua and was slightly apologetic. It seemed that there were some problems because she said something without Xiao Hua's consent.

Zhong Yejing's expression naturally didn't escape Zhong Tianyao's eyes, or perhaps Zhong Yejing wanted the Clan Head to see it. Following which, Zhong Yejing briefly recounted the matter of her looking for Xu Hong, as well as the matter of White Bamboo Mountain. Of course, regarding the matter of the talisman, Zhong Yejing didn't mention it, only saying that Xu Hong invited her to help.

Zhong Peiyuan and the others heard clearly and knew that Zhong Yejing was hiding something in her words. However, they didn't ask too much. They only heard Zhong Peiyuan ask faintly, "So, Xu Hong's Qian Mo Secret Stone has already fallen into Xiao Hua's hands?"

His gaze, however, drifted towards Xiao Hua.

"Yes!"

"Good, it's been hard on you. Jing 'er, you can leave!" Zhong Peiyuan nodded.

"But, Third Uncle, Senior Xiao …" Zhong Yejing didn't know what Xiao Hua was thinking. She didn't dare to mention the matter of the gold leaf in advance. At this time, she was a little anxious.

"It's Fellow Daoist Xiao, not Senior Xiao!"

Zhong Peiyuan said faintly, "Although my Yuncheng Zhong Family can't be compared to a famous sect, it's still a famous cultivation family in Meng Country. There's no need to lower your status!"

"Yes, Third Uncle!"

Zhong Yejing felt a little wronged, but she didn't dare to contradict. She bowed, looked at Xiao Hua again, and retreated.

"You all can leave too!"

Following the order, the other disciples also left.

"Xiao Hua …" Zhong Peiyuan stared at Xiao Hua and asked, "I don't want to know what you did at White Bamboo Mountain.

Let me ask you, you took the Qian Mo Secret Stone from Xu Hong's hands. Do you want to exchange it with my Zhong Family?

How do you know that my Zhong Family needs Qian Mo Secret Stone?

Do you want to use Qian Mo Secret Stone to threaten my Zhong Family? "

Xiao Hua was very funny. Zhong Yejing could clearly explain the matter, but Zhong Peiyuan didn't let her finish. Moreover, without waiting for him to speak, Zhong Peiyuan self-righteously put the hat of "threatening" on his head. "Could it be that he really thinks that because his cultivation is high, he can distinguish right from wrong and can see through things at a glance?" Xiao Hua couldn't help but criticize.

However, Zhong Tianyao and Zhong Peifu both stared at Xiao Hua without blinking. Their eyes were full of vigilance, as if what Zhong Peiyuan said was their inner thoughts.

Xiao Hua was very helpless. He cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhong misunderstood!"

Then, Xiao Hua told the matter of him meeting Zhong Peiyuan at the auction in Qiyue City. Finally, he smiled apologetically and said, "I didn't know that Mi Yue was Fellow Daoist Zhong. Just as Fellow Daoist Zhong said, when I heard that she wanted to exchange Qian Mo Secret Stone with Xu Hong, my heart moved and I remembered this matter!"

"How did you know Haoran?" Zhong Peifu's eyes were still flickering as he asked in a low voice.

"This is even more of a coincidence!" Xiao Hua smiled and said, "I met him when I went to the Netherworld after leaving Qiyue City!"

"En, this old man knows!"

Zhong Peiyuan waved his hand and said, "Haoran … seems to have mentioned this before, but this old man was in a bad mood at that time and didn't remember carefully!"

Then, Zhong Peiyuan looked at Xiao Hua and asked, "So, Fellow Daoist Xiao's purpose is the two gold foil of my Zhong Family?"

"Yes, it's the two gold foil!"

Xiao Hua clapped his hands and took out a few pieces of Qian Mo Secret Stone. He smiled and said, "This Xiao found a few pieces of Qian Mo Secret Stone in the past few years to find the owner of the gold foil to exchange. Now is a coincidence, please take a look, Senior Zhong!"

Unexpectedly, Zhong Tianyao didn't seem to be interested in the Qian Mo Secret Stone. He scanned it with his divine sense and said indifferently, "Actually, the gold foil of my Zhong Family is exchanged for the Qian Mo Secret Stone. The main thing is that I want to know what this gold foil is and what it's used for!"

"This …" Xiao Hua was startled. He looked at Zhong Tianyao a few times and shook his head, "Sorry, this is this Xiao's business. Forgive this Xiao for not telling you!"

"Oh?"

Zhong Tianyao narrowed his eyes and said, "Since you can't tell this old man what the gold foil is used for, then this old man can't exchange with you with the gold foil!"

"Senior Zhong ~" Xiao Hua was anxious and said, "The gold foil is just a dead thing in the Zhong Family. The Zhong Family doesn't need it at all. Why can't you exchange it?

Could it be that the Zhong Family doesn't want to use the Qian Mo Secret Stone to repair magic tools? "

"Hmph, repairing magic tools or not is my Zhong Family's business." Zhong Peiyuan sneered and said, "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Xiao wants to forcefully exchange with my Zhong Family?"

"Hehe, why can't I?

Aren't the so-called big cultivation sects all like this?

Without resorting to trickery, how can they become a big sect?

How can they dominate a region? "

Zhong Peifu said sarcastically, "Although the Imperial Thunder Sect is far away in the Country of Xi, their fame is spread throughout the entire Xiaoyu Continent. Their disciples can even be arrogant in Meng Country!"

"What do you two Fellow Daoists mean?" Xiao Hua sneered, "If you don't want to exchange, then don't exchange. Why do you have to speak so viciously?

These words are related to this Xiao's sect. Fellow Daoist, do you mind this Xiao bringing these words back? "

"What?

Did this Zhong offend the Imperial Thunder Sect with just a few words? "

Zhong Peiyuan stood up and said angrily, "Just based on these few words … Imperial Thunder Sect dares to come to my Meng Country and exterminate my Zhong Family?

Do you think you have this opportunity? "

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Hua stood up and laughed loudly. He really felt that it was funny. A late Foundation Establishment cultivator, no matter what, had a lifespan of several hundred years. He had seen many more things than him, but why did he look like a loose cultivator at the early Qi Refining stage? He didn't know the gravity of his words!

"This Xiao wants to see what ability your Zhong Clan has to keep this Xiao here!" Xiao Hua coldly said after he finished laughing.

"At White Bamboo Mountain, you injured Xu Hong and intimidated a late Foundation Establishment cultivator. Was it just for Jing 'er to see?"

Zhong Tianyao said indifferently, "Even if you are a disciple of the Imperial Thunder Sect, even if your cultivation is comparable to a late Foundation Establishment cultivator, don't forget that this old man is a Gold Core cultivator. In this old man's eyes, you are just a child!"

"Besides, without the Clan Head here, this old man and two late Foundation Establishment cultivators can't kill a late Foundation Establishment cultivator?

Not to mention an Qi Refining cultivator? "

Zhong Peiyuan said even more arrogantly, "Even if the late Foundation Establishment cultivator escapes, will this Qi Refining female cultivator still be alive?"
