Chapter 254 Who is Young Master Su?
The Li family hall was full of guests, but because of the arrival of the Xiao family, the atmosphere on the scene was more strange than before.
The grudge between the Xiao family and the Li family is well known, and everyone is waiting because they think that the Xiao family must find a reason to humiliate the Li family in the end.
Not only the guests present thought so, but even the Li family thought so in their hearts. As the new patriarch, Li He sat at the main table with Xiao Xuan, while the elders of the Li family kept secretly telling the clan members that they must not make any mistakes, at least they should not find a reason to get angry for the Xiao family.
In the eyes of the Li family, the easiest excuse for the Xiao family to get angry is the gifts they sent. If there are any problems with these gifts, the Xiao family can use this to cause trouble for the Li family.
Therefore, the Li family specially arranged several tribe members to protect the gifts sent by the Xiao family, but they did not dare to open the gift boxes because they were afraid that if the things inside broke down after they were opened, the Xiao family would put the responsibility on their heads.
Such things were only common in ancient times.
In ancient times, the royal family was dissatisfied with some officials, or wanted to find a reason to get rid of the officials who were highly meritorious, and directly rewarded some rewards, and these rewards represented the face of the royal family. If there was a problem, the royal family could use this to punish them.
What the Li family is afraid of is that the Xiao family will come here, so they are extremely cautious. Even when serving the dishes, the elders of the Li family are brought to them personally. They are afraid that if the Xiao family takes action secretly, the vegetables will be spilled out or the soup will splash on the Xiao family.
In short, the Xiao family did not find any reason to target the Li family.
Xiao Xuan also felt the caution of the Li family. He felt a little helpless. If the patriarch had not received the news today, the Xiao family would have really done this, but now even if they lend them the Xiao family the courage, they would not dare to do this.
Xiao Xuan was about to speak, but at this time, a sound came from the corner.
"The Li family is really unreasonable. The Xiao family has sent so many valuable gifts. If you don't put them away properly, just put them there like this. Do you look down on the Xiao family?"
The person who spoke was a young man, and as soon as he said it, the originally noisy sound at the scene disappeared instantly, and the whole scene became silent.
"Here you come!"
"The Xiao family has indeed arranged a backup plan!"
This is the first thought that arose in the hearts of everyone present except the Xiao family.
When Xiao Xuan heard this voice, his eyes also looked over there. The young man felt even more excited when he saw Xiao Xuan's gaze. He felt that Xiao Xuan's eyes were encouragement to him.
"You Li family will take away the gifts sent by others, but you, Li family, from the Xiao family, don't. This clearly means looking down on the Xiao family. The Li family is really becoming more and more arrogant."
The young man glanced at the audience, and no one in the guests refuted his words, because everyone felt that the Xiao family was standing behind him, and it was very likely that the Xiao family arranged this.
When Li He said the first sentence of the young man, his expression changed. When he heard the second sentence of the young man, he could no longer sit still. He quickly stood up from his seat and explained to Xiao Xuan.
However, Xiao Xuan stood up before him, his face turned pale.
Seeing the expression on Xiao Xuan's face, the people present trembled, because they all thought that the elder of the Xiao family would be angry and that the Li family would suffer in the next moment.
"Elder Xiao!"
Li He's heart sank and was about to explain, but Xiao Xuan reached out to stop Li He's words, which made Li He's heart sink even more to the bottom.
At this moment, Li He was even prepared for despair. If the Xiao family really wanted to take action against the Li family on this reason, then he would bear it alone and would never let the Xiao family take action against the entire Li family.
He is the patriarch of the Li family. The Xiao family humiliated himself, which was equivalent to humiliating the entire Li family. I think the Xiao family would be satisfied.
"Damn it!"
After Xiao Xuan stopped Li He, he suddenly shouted. The scolding made the Li family present subconsciously look tighter, and the young man showed a smug smile on his face. He knew that he had bet right. The Xiao family was indeed going to publish a book to the Li family and he found a good reason and excuse for the Xiao family.
"That's right, the Li family is too..."
"Shut up, where did the boy come from? You can also discuss the Li family?"
Xiao Xuan's angrily shouted, which made the young man stunned, with a look of suspicion on his face. It must be that he had heard it wrong. How could the elders of the Xiao family say such words?
However, the next moment, Xiao Xuan's eyes glanced over, and the pressure revealed in his eyes made him tremble all over, and he was like a small boat in the vast ocean.
"Elder Xiao calmed down. It was because the young disciple was ignorant and said the wrong thing. Please ask Elder Xiao to open the net."
Seeing his apprentice's trembling body, the old man next to him couldn't sit still, and immediately stood up from his seat and looked at Xiao Xuan with a pleading look.
"You are not only offending my Xiao family. You are deliberately provoking the relationship between my Xiao family and the Li family. Their intentions are tortured. Unless the Clan Chief Li is willing to let you go, otherwise you will not be able to walk out of the Li family so easily today."
Xiao Xuan's words made the expressions of the people on the scene strange. Elder Xiao has been talking lies with his eyes open for a while, and has been emphasizing the relationship between the Xiao family and the Li family.
No one present was fool. If they had suspected that the Xiao family had any conspiracy before, then now they were thinking more about another possibility, that is, what changes have occurred in the Li family. This change made the Xiao family dare not target the Li family anymore.
Xiao Xuan's arrival was actually to ease the relationship between the Li family.
This speculation made the people on the scene look at Li He shocked. What changes have happened to the Li family? It actually made the Xiao family begin to surrender. You must know that the Xiao family is a second-rate force in the metaphysics world.
Although the entire metaphysical world is divided into first-class, second-class and third-class forces, in fact, first-class forces have been passed down for more than hundreds of years. They have long had their own fixed sphere of influence and will not easily cause conflicts.
In fact, the most battles in the entire metaphysics are second-rate forces. Most of the inheritance of these second-rate forces is less than three hundred years. They need to expand their territory to obtain more resources, so there are often conflicts between each other.
However, second-rate forces rarely fight directly with each other, and more support some third-rate family forces, allowing these third-rate family forces to fight for territory and interests, and finally give them resources.
There is only one reason that can explain the scene in front of you, that is, the Li family found a first-class force as a backer. Only this reason can make the Xiao family suddenly resolve the grudges with the Li family.
"Captain Li, this is your Li family. You have the final say on how these two people are dealing with."
Xiao Xuan's expression of respect for the Li family made Li He feel as disgusting as eating a fly. Anyone can say such words, but your Xiao family is not qualified.
If I really respect my Li family, how could I have arrested my little sister in front of my father and asked my father to make a promise to imprison my little sister in the yard for the rest of her life after she caught my little sister in front of me.
However, Li He naturally would not say these words, and even had an honorable smile on his face.
"I think they didn't mean it. There was something wrong with our Li family in dealing with the congratulations of the Xiao family, which made everyone misunderstand. This matter was given up. Please leave my Li family, please."
Although Li He was also very dissatisfied with the master and apprentice, he knew that it was not the time to deal with these two people. At this moment, he was more eager to know why the Xiao family suddenly changed their attitude.
He could guess what so many people at the scene were thinking at the moment. In fact, if he was not the patriarch of the Li family and knew everything about the Li family, he would even have the same guesses and ideas as these people.
But the Li family has not relied on any strong people, nor has they curled up with a first-class force. If the first-class force is so easy to curry favor with, the Li family would not have been suppressed by the Xiao family for so many years.
Every world has its own rules, and the same is true in the metaphysics community. For those first-class forces, they will not deal with third-rate forces, nor will they say they will protect third-rate forces. The only ones who can curry favor with first-rate forces are those second-rate forces.
This is for the stability of the metaphysical world, and the tacit understanding of the major first-class forces. Otherwise, those first-class sects would simply support the third-class forces, and the entire metaphysical world would be in chaos.
These third-rate forces have the support of first-rate forces, so they will definitely compete with second-rate forces for territory and interests. This is not what major first-rate forces in the metaphysics want to see.
The banquet ended in a strange atmosphere that everyone was constantly speculating about. However, until he watched Xiao Xuan and others leave, Li He was still confused, especially the words before Xiao Xuan left, which made him confused.
"Class Li, with the care of Mr. Su, we will get closer to each other in the future."
Mr. Su?
Li He felt that he didn't know such a person, and who did Mr. Su refer to?
Young Master, in the metaphysical world, is a title for genius disciples trained by top forces and sects. For example, the one from the Tianshi Mansion some time ago was called Young Master Ye.
Thinking of Ye Shengge, Li He's eyes suddenly lit up because he thought of another protagonist in the Ye Shengge incident, Su Chen, a disciple of the Qilin Zitian family of the Dao Alliance.
That person is called Mr. Su.
"It shouldn't be that person. After all, that Young Master Su is in Gan Province and has no intersection with our Li family. Gan Province..."
Li He, who was talking to himself, seemed to have thought of something, and his expression became excited. The Li family did not have any disciples in Ganzhou, but his niece was from Ganzhou, and the entanglement between his sister and the Xiao family...
Thinking of the Xiao family's initiative to show their goodwill this time, Li He's excited body trembled slightly.
