Chapter 563 Xing Family
Chapter 563 Xing Family
Su Mu, Qing Tong and Tu Shan Rongrong soon arrived at the door of the Xing family.
The gate of the "Xing" Mansion is majestic and tall. The two characters "Xing Mansion" on the lintel are carved from a whole piece of high-quality nanmu wood, on which are engraved intricate and exquisite auspicious animal patterns. Even the door frame is made of pure gold, sparkling with dazzling golden light in the sunlight.
Looking at such a magnificent facade, Su Mu couldn't help but sigh at the luxury of the 'Xing Family'.
As Su Mu, Qing Tong, and Tu Shan Rongrong appeared at the gate of the Xing Family, they quickly attracted the attention of the people in the Xing Family.
After clearly sensing that Su Mu and the other two had good temperaments, the Xing Mansion’s housekeeper immediately stepped forward to inquire. After learning of Su Mu’s identity, he almost immediately ushered the three of them into the mansion in a flattering manner. At the same time, he sent a servant to hurriedly report to the clan leader.
Led by the housekeeper, Su Mu stepped into the gate and walked inside. Under his feet was a corridor paved with white marble. On both sides of the corridor were carefully trimmed exotic flowers and plants, which were evergreen all year round and filled with fragrance. In between were also dotted rockery of various shapes, some like dragons going out to sea, and some like cranes spreading their wings, which made Su Mu quite amazed.
Su Mu had also been to the world's number one swordsman, the Wang Quan family, but even with the Wang Quan family's heritage, it was not as ostentatious and luxurious as the Xing family. This was certainly not because the Wang Quan family was less wealthy or powerful than the Xing family, but because the Wang Quan family, with its thousand-year heritage, was more restrained and did not care too much about superficial work.
The "Xing Family", which has only been passed down for a hundred years, obviously pays more attention to superficial luxury to show its status.
Under the flattery of the housekeeper, Su Mu and his companions quickly walked to the living room. At this time, the head of the Xing family also hurried to the door of the living room.
"I am Xinglian, and I am honored to meet Master Su."
As soon as Xing Lian arrived at the living room door and saw Su Mu, he immediately smiled ingratiatingly, but there was a bit of nervousness that was difficult to conceal in his smile.
He was really scared of the man who killed the patriarch of the Wen family with a single sword strike. Thinking about how his son had offended this ruthless man last year, he felt even more anxious, fearing that the other party had come here specifically to call him to account.
"Oh! Chief Xing, I have some impression of you."
Su Mu nodded and his eyes fell on Xing Lian. The middle-aged man in front of him should have been extraordinary, but at this moment his clothes were messy and there was sweat on his forehead. Obviously, he rushed here without stopping after receiving the news of his arrival, and he didn't even bother to tidy up his clothes.
"I passed by the Xing family this time, so I came over to take a look. Patriarch Xing, do you mind my disturbing you?"
Su Mu looked around and seemed to be joking.
"How could it be, how could it be."
Xing Lian hurriedly shook his head: "It is truly an honor for the Xing Mansion that Master Su has come to visit it."
Although he was extremely afraid of this ruthless man who killed the head of the Wen family, and did not want such a killer to stay in the Xing family, how could he dare to say it out loud? He could only bite the bullet and say flattering words.
How could Su Mu not know that the head of the Xing family did not welcome him, but he did not mind it. Instead, he smiled and said, "Why don't you invite me in to sit down."
"Please, please, please."
Xing Lian hurriedly leaned forward and led the way. At this moment, the highly respected patriarch of the Xing family seemed like a servant.
Su Mu smiled and followed him.
When they arrived at the reception room, Su Mu naturally sat in the main seat, Qingtong naturally stood behind him, and as for Tushan Rongrong, she found a seat next to him and sat down.
Xing Lian carefully sat down on a seat not far from Su Mu.
After they sat down, a beautiful maid immediately brought tea. Su Mu did not drink it, but smiled and pointed at Tushan Rongrong and said, "This is the third in command of Tushan. I believe that Patriarch Xing has also heard of him."
When Xing Lian learned of Tushan Rongrong's identity, he almost stood up in horror. How could he not have heard of the name of this thousand-faced fox who was known as Tushan's think tank and had every possible plan?
In the past, when the Yiqi Dao League was attacking Tushan, they suffered countless losses at the hands of this Thousand-Faced Fox Demon. His reputation for cunning was well-known.
"I am Xin Chenhao, the humble one, and I am honored to meet...meet the Third Master of Tushan."
Xinglian almost stuttered as he spoke, looking cautiously at Tushan Rongrong. He had thought that Tushan Rongrong, who was famous for her treachery, must have a gloomy and cunning look, but seeing her today, she seemed gentle and peaceful, almost hard to equate with the cunning thousand-faced fox in his imagination.
At the same time, at this moment, Xing Lian also realized that the relationship between Shenhuoshan Villa and Tushan was much closer than he had imagined. Not only did the owner of Shenhuoshan Villa have an ambiguous relationship with the nine-tailed fairy fox Tushan Yaya, but even the famously cunning Tushan Rongrong seemed to obey the other party's words.
Rumor has it that this person also has an unclear relationship with the fox demon king Tushan Honghong.
Thinking of these...
Xing Lian suddenly realized why this person dared to act so recklessly and even killed the patriarch of the thousand-year-old family 'Wen Family'. Not only did he have the protection of his father-in-law, the leader of the Taoist Alliance, but he also had the terrifying Fox Demon King standing behind him. What's more, he himself was extremely talented.
Compared to this person, even the royal power and hegemony in the past would probably be much inferior.
At the beginning, Wang Quan Baiye wandered around everywhere and caused a lot of trouble, provoking many noble families, but everyone let him go in the end for the sake of "Wang Quan".
And this person is far more difficult to provoke than the original Wang Quanheye.
Realizing this, Xing Lian became more cautious and even more angry that his son Xin Chenhao had provoked this person.
In response to Xinglian's cautious greeting, Tushan Rongrong just pursed her lips, nodded, and said nothing.
Xing Lian naturally didn't dare to have any opinions and accompanied him carefully throughout the whole process.
After a brief conversation, Su Mu also said: "I also walked for a while, and I'm quite hungry..."
"I will ask the servants to prepare food for Master Su."
Xinglian spoke immediately.
"Ah."
Su Mu nodded, and suddenly, as if he thought of something, he said, "It just so happens that I also want to meet some of the managers of Senior Xing's clan, some of the respected people of the Xing clan, and I just happen to have something to say at the banquet."
Xing Lian was a little confused and didn't understand why Su Mu met these people, but looking at Su Mu's expression, he seemed unwilling to say more, so he didn't dare to ask more.
In fact, Xing Lian was quite worried at the moment, but seeing that Su Mu didn't seem to want to do anything bad to him, he reluctantly suppressed his worries.
…………
After reluctantly accompanying Su Mu for a while, Xing Lian made an excuse to go out for a while, and immediately arranged for the servants to prepare food, striving to make the dinner rich and grand.
"Also, call my son back to me and have him prepare a gift and a proper apology at the dinner. It would be best if we could resolve the previous grudge..."
As if he had thought of something, Xinglian gave instructions to the tribesmen beside him.
"Yes, patriarch."
Just as Xinglian was about to give some instructions, a servant came over quickly with a serious expression.
"whats the matter?"
Seeing his trusted servant coming over at this time, Xinglian felt a little impatient.
"Reporting to the clan leader, recently many young people of unknown origin have come to the villages and towns of the Xing family. These young people have been visiting families in various villages and towns, and have been inciting these farmers..."
The servant immediately reported in a low voice.
Xinglian was confused and immediately thought of Su Mu. He wondered if these people were also sent by Su Mu. But then he thought, if Su Mu, the killing god, wanted to harm him, there would be no need for him to resort to these means.
"Don't worry about it for now. They are just some low-class people. Even if they all start to make trouble, it won't cause much trouble. Now, the most important thing is to entertain Master Su and put other things aside."
Xinglian thought about it and said this, not taking the possibility that these farmers might be instigated by outsiders seriously into consideration.
They are just some mortals with no magical powers. How much trouble can they cause?
