"I guess you and Xiao Chengwen are not that close."

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Lang, and they both slowly sat down in the pavilion.

"Do you think I'm calm?"

Xiao Lang asked.

"Well, actually, I observed you when my fiancée was taking the assessment. I was worried that someone had deliberately arranged what happened today, but later I was sure that I was overthinking."

Xiao Yi responded.

"I understand. As for your existence, I have known about it for a long time, but today is the first time I know you are in Kunlun Realm."

Xiao Lang said directly.

"As for... Xiao Chengwen and you, I just found out about it."

"Is he the eldest son of your Xiao family?"

Xiao Yi asked.

"No, it's the youngest son of the owner of the house."

Xiao Lang shook his head and felt something was strange again.

"'Your Xiao family'?"

"Yes, your Xiao family!"

Xiao Yi spoke with great force.

"That definitely can't be our Xiao family, right?"

"Ok."

Xiao Lang nodded.

"So who are you?"

Xiao Yi asked again.

"I don't have much status in the Xiao family. I'm just closer to Big Brother Xiao Chengyan, the eldest son of the patriarch and the elder brother of Xiao Chengwen."

Xiao Lang explained.

"I see... Since Xiao Chengwen wants to kill me, doesn't Xiao Chengyan have the same idea?"

Xiao Yi asked.

"Xiao Yi, have you ever had contact with Xiao Chengwen before?"

Xiao Lang did not answer Xiao Yi's question directly.

"No, but I have fought with Brother Xiao Yuansheng."

Xiao Yi responded, just put it simply.

"I see."

Xiao Lang narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that the two brothers had told Xiao Chengwen about Xiao Yi.

"To be honest, although I know you exist, I don't know too many details. However, I can tell you briefly about the situation of the Xiao family."

"Appreciate further details."

Xiao Yi nodded. This was exactly what he wanted to know.

"The situation of the Xiao family is indeed somewhat different. The old patriarch has been seeking a breakthrough in seclusion over the years and has long been giving up power. Many major matters are decided by some of the family elders.

But in the final analysis, it is still Madam Gong Aolan who has more say, and many elders of the Xiao family also respect the Madam..."

Xiao Lang explained.

"Although Xiao Chengyan and Xiao Chengwen are brothers, there is a big age gap between them. The latter grew up with the old lady, and the relationship between mother and son is much deeper than that with Xiao Chengyan..."

Hearing this, Xiao Yi nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.

"So, Xiao Chengwen's position in the Xiao family is not much weaker than that of the eldest son Xiao Chengyan. In some aspects..."

Xiao Lang paused, and felt that there was no need to explain too much to Xiao Yi.

"I understand."

Xiao Yi could naturally see what was going on, so he didn't ask too many questions.

What Xiao Lang told him had given him a preliminary understanding of the Xiao family.

"So, let me answer your question now."

Xiao Lang continued.

"Xiao Chengwen wants to kill you, not only because of the conflict between you and brother Xiao Yuanwu, but more... because of the old lady. As for big brother Xiao Chengyan, he doesn't have any feelings towards you."

Xiao Lang explained.

"I'm not trying to stir up trouble. You will find out the truth about some things later."

"I see."

Xiao Yi nodded. It seemed that Xiao Lang was not lying.

But he didn't understand why the so-called old lady Gong Aolan was so hostile towards him!

"that……"

Xiao Lang obviously saw something, but was still hesitating.

"My mother never mentioned anything about the Xiao family to me, so I don't know anything about the past."

Xiao Yi came back to his senses and shook his head.

"Then I will explain it to you more clearly. Your biological grandmother is not Gong Aolan. As for the rest, you have to find out the details yourself."

Xiao Lang said.

"I understand……"

Xiao Yi suddenly realized, so that's what's going on, there's something going on here...

"Okay, that's all I have to say. I waited for you just to clear up some misunderstandings. I don't know what will happen next. Brother Cheng Yan may not help you, but I believe that he will never kill you with Xiao Chengwen."

Xiao Lang spoke again.

Although it was the first time he met Xiao Yi today, everything that happened really made it difficult for him to calm down. He wanted to go back as soon as possible and tell Xiao Chengyan about this.

After hearing this, Xiao Yi understood something better.

"I, Xiao Yi, am not an irrational person. I came to Kunlun Realm with no intention of having anything to do with the Xiao family. But if someone wants to kill me, I have to let him know that I am not that easy to kill!"

Xiao Yi's voice sank.

"Of course, I have no hostility towards other members of the Xiao family."

"I've taken note of your words."

Xiao Lang nodded, and that was enough for what he said.

If what happened today had not happened, he would be extremely disdainful when Xiao Yi said this, but now, he had to take it seriously.

"Putting all that aside, thank your fiancée for helping me upgrade my magic weapon to the eighth rank!"

Finally, Xiao Lang expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you for what I just told you."

Xiao Yi said seriously.

Afterwards, the two didn't talk any more, and Xiao Lang left Xuanlingque. As for Han Ziming and the Kong family from Qingyang Villa, they had also left long ago.

Just as Xiao Yi was about to get up, a figure appeared more than ten meters away in the blink of an eye. It was Zhong Yucheng.

"I actually wondered before whether you were from the Xiao family."

Zhong Yucheng walked over slowly.

"Why, the dignified Master of Xuanlingque still has the habit of climbing up the wall?"

Xiao Yi frowned.

"Don't get me wrong, I just arrived."

Zhong Yucheng came closer, put his hands behind his back, and looked at a few egrets in the center of the lake.

Under the night sky, the egrets are obviously whiter and more agile, with extremely beautiful bodies.

"My mother... is from the Xiao family, but now, we have nothing to do with the Xiao family!"

Xiao Yi's tone changed.

Zhong Yucheng nodded. He could see that there must be something wrong, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"So what's next? Xiao Chengwen wants to kill you, do you want to kill him?"

"He asked for it!"

Xiao Yi responded directly, not intending to hide anything from Zhong Yucheng.

"With your strength, killing Xiao Chengwen is not a problem, but if you anger the entire Xiao family and Gong Aolan, then you... I'm afraid you will suffer a huge wrath."

Zhong Yucheng said slowly.

"So what! Since Xiao Chengwen is seeking death, I will take this opportunity to find out what happened back then!

My mother has already suffered a great deal of injustice. If I discover anything more, the entire Xiao family will be the one to bear the wrath!"

Xiao Yi's voice sank.

Zhong Yucheng retracted his gaze and looked at Xiao Yi: "Perhaps, my Xuanlingque can lend you a helping hand!"

"What about the conditions?"

"You should know."

"My affairs with the Xiao family have nothing to do with my fiancée, and you can't use her to make a deal with me and let her upgrade your Longquan Sword!"

Xiao Yi had actually guessed it a long time ago.

"Besides, I don't necessarily need your support from Xuanlingque!"

"You are quite arrogant! However, this is just your own opinion. It does not represent what Ji Ranran thinks."

"Ran Ran may not be able to upgrade the Longquan Sword for you now!"

“No, you misunderstood. I meant to help you first in exchange for Ji Ranran and your promise to help Longquan Sword in the future!”

Zhong Yucheng said calmly.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi was stunned. One more helper is always better than one more enemy. Of course, it is unlikely that Zhong Yucheng will become his enemy again.

He just doesn't like others to negotiate with him, but he doesn't want to end his own way after all.
