Inside Sunset Villa.

Even though it's called a Villa, Sunset Villa is not small at all.

This villa is half the size of Yunlei Sect.

The villa was evenly divided into four parts.

The Xiao family, the Mo family, and Lijia are the outer components, but the most central location is only accessible to the core members of the three families.

There are three big cities in the periphery, namely Xiaocheng, Mocheng and Licheng. These three cities are the direct descendants of the three families.

The Xiao family's reception banquet was held in the grand banquet hall in the center of Xiao City.

This banquet hall is not only a place used by the Xiao family to receive important guests, but also a place for holding major family events. Its level of luxury and momentum are enough to shock any newcomer.

In the banquet hall, the lights are bright and magnificent, and countless fairy lanterns are hung on the high dome, adding a bit of mystery and solemnity to the entire banquet hall.

Xiao Yuwei and Xiao Fang also arrived at the banquet hall early. Xiao Yuwei was wearing a fairy dress like flowing clouds, looking particularly elegant and refined.

Originally, Xiao Yuwei was pretty pretty, and in this fairy dress, she looked like a fairy walking out of a painting.

Xiao Fang on the side looked a little gloomy.

It was also the first time for Xiao Fang to come to this banquet hall. He was a little surprised and speechless by the luxury of this banquet hall.

In addition, as a visiting son-in-law, I felt a little inferior in front of everyone who came to the banquet.

So Xiao Fang seemed very cautious.

Seeing Xiao Fang's appearance, Xiao Yuwei also held Xiao Fang's hand and said softly: "Brother Fang, it's okay. I'm here, let's go say hello to father and the others first."

Xiao Fang felt Xiao Yuwei's tenderness and support. Although he was still a little nervous inside, Xiao Yuwei's presence made him feel unprecedented peace of mind and courage.

The two slowly walked to the front of the banquet hall, where the head of the Xiao family and several other elders of the family were sitting. They were talking about something, and the atmosphere seemed to be quite harmonious.

Xiao Yuwei's appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present. Many eyes turned to her, and then fell on Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang took a deep breath and tried to make himself look less nervous. Although he knew that his status might be insignificant compared to these high-level family members, he did not want to be looked down upon, nor did he want Xiao Yuwei to feel embarrassed for herself.

When the head of the Xiao family saw the two coming, he showed a kind smile on his face and said to Xiao Yuwei: "Yuwei is here, this time your eldest brother is back. Your eldest brother loved you the most when you were a child, but this time your eldest brother has suffered It’s been a lot of hardship, but I’ve also improved a lot in my cultivation, and I’ve reached the threshold of the golden elixir.”

"You should learn more from your elder brother."

Xiao Yuwei smiled and nodded: "I know, father."

Xiao Yuwei looked at Xiao Fang who was standing aside. Xiao Fang understood and immediately saluted respectfully: "I've met the head of the family, I've met all the seniors, I am..."

But the head of the Xiao family didn't seem to hear it. He interrupted Xiao Fang's words and said to Xiao Yuwei: "Okay, Yuwei, if you have nothing to do, go down first. I have to discuss other matters with your uncles."

Xiao Yuwei said dissatisfiedly: "Father, Brother Fang is also a member of the Xiao family..."

But after hearing this, the head of the Xiao family's face sank: "Don't force me to say bad words on this special day."

Although Xiao Fang felt unhappy, he also knew that now was not the time for a dispute. He could only silently put away his emotions and bow deeply to the head of the Xiao family and the elders to show respect.

Then he pulled Xiao Yuwei away and returned to his seat.

Xiao Yuwei held his hand tightly and whispered: "Brother Fang, don't take it to heart. Wait until you reach the golden elixir stage and see what else your father has to say."

When Xiao Fang heard this, it was as if his helplessness and embarrassment had been swept away. He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yuwei: "Yuwei, with your words, I will definitely be able to cultivate the golden elixir."

Just as the two of them were feeling affectionate, the entire banquet suddenly fell silent as the head of the Xiao family coughed lightly in the stands.

Everyone focused their attention on the stands of the banquet hall. Then the discussion started again.

"It seems that the young man of the Xiao family is coming out."

"It's Sa, why did he appear suddenly? I thought he was missing."

"Who says it's not the case...I even asked my son to follow the Second Young Master."

Amidst the whispers of everyone, the voice of the head of the Xiao family sounded again, calm and powerful enough to be heard clearly in every corner of the entire banquet hall.

"Everyone, it is rare to be able to gather together today to witness the joy of our Xiao family. Now, let us welcome my young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Yunling, with warm applause."

As the head of the Xiao family finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted in the entire banquet hall.

Immediately afterwards, the young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Yunling, appeared in the stands, and his figure was particularly eye-catching. Wearing a simple yet exquisite robe, he walked with a royal demeanor, and every step he took seemed calm and powerful.

There was actually a woman on stage with him. The woman was pure and lovely, with a graceful figure. She was dressed in a light pink robe, simple yet elegant. Her appearance caused a small surprise on the court.

Xiao Yunling stood in the stands, his eyes calm and deep, and he looked around at everyone below. Cleared his throat and said:

"Hello, seniors, sisters, and guests here."

"You must also be curious about me, the young master of the Xiao family who has been missing for more than 80 years."

"Everyone knows that my Xiao family has a tradition of exploring overseas since ancient times, and this is even more true in my generation."

Xiao Yunling's voice flowed slowly, attracting the eyes and ears of the audience.

"Eighty years ago, I went out to explore as usual, but something unexpected happened and I encountered pirates. Yes, it was the infamous Demonic Pirate Group."

"Originally, with the strength of our fleet, we will definitely not be defeated by this bullshit pirate group, because our Xiao family's treasure ship is well-made and has complete formations. This is obvious to all."

"But we couldn't help the betrayal of the people inside. I didn't expect that among the Qi Refining Stage disciples we recruited, there was actually a strong Jindan expert."

Xiao Yunling's words made the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall suddenly tense. Everyone held their breath and nervously waited for his next words.

"This golden elixir powerhouse hid his true strength. When he fought against the pirates at sea, he suddenly rebelled and directly destroyed the fleet's formation, causing chaos in our fleet." Xiao Yunling said in a heavy tone.

After speaking, Xiao Yunling paused and glanced at the Mo family who were present.
