Starfish Island is several hundred kilometers away from Jinyuan City. It is a real open-air island with an area of about 200 square kilometers.
The water in the sea around this island is particularly clear and is rich in coral reefs and a kind of luminous starfish.
At night, countless glittering starfish float in the clear sea water, which is extremely beautiful.
Because of this special starfish, this place was named Starfish Island.
As early as three thousand years ago, this island was bought by the Lan family. In the following three thousand years, the Lan family continued to transform the Starfish Island, making it the most famous holiday island on the Taurus Star.
Hundreds of years ago, because of the increasing friction between the major families, the Lan family proposed that the major families sit down and have a good talk.
To this end, the Lan family invited all the major families to Starfish Island to hold a grand family gathering.
Early March is also the breeding season for sea stars. At this time, the light on the sea stars' bodies is the brightest and most beautiful.
Over time, the Starfish Island Social Gathering on March 3rd has become a fixed day for the major families to communicate and meet.
On this day, the children of major families will try their best to show themselves at the social gathering.
In the interstellar age when swordsmanship is prevalent, holding sword competitions has become a natural thing to do.
Of course, the purpose of the social gathering is mainly to socialize, and in order to avoid exacerbating conflicts, the sword gathering is also abnormal.
Generally speaking, those who are willing to show off their skills will compete with each other. Both sides use designated special weapons and protective gear, and killing is absolutely not allowed.
If a fatal accident occurs, the party who caused the accident shall bear full responsibility.
Such strict regulations are also intended to prevent someone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
After all, the original intention of the association was to deepen exchanges among the major families and avoid conflicts.
However, on such an important occasion, the children of the major families all wanted to show themselves as much as possible.
The competition in sword competitions is always fierce.
Xiao Wan was a person who cared a lot about her reputation. The news of her introducing Gao Xuan spread, and many people laughed at her for keeping a gigolo.
At this social gathering, she wanted Gao Xuan to give those guys a good slap in the face.
The reason why Xiao Wan didn't tell Gao Xuan in advance was because the matter on Zilong Star was very important.
After all, a social gathering is just a social gathering, and it is not a big deal. Only the younger generation would take advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble.
Now that Gao Xuan is back, of course he has to show off at the social gathering.
After Xiao Wan's introduction, Gao Xuan also had a basic understanding of the association.
He patted his chest and promised, "Don't worry, leave it to me. I will make sure that you can make Sister Wan famous."
Xiao Wan glanced at Gao Xuan and said, "Don't be careless. Don't think that if you accomplish great things on Zilong Star, others will know you."
She said sternly, "In the eyes of the Taurus people, the other planets in the Twelve Star Regions are all small, insignificant places. Purple Dragon Star is even more of a barren place. Even if you kill Guo Zhengjun, not many people will take it seriously..."
Children of aristocratic families are arrogant and conceited. They lack understanding of the outside world and are unwilling to understand it.
Just like the great things Gao Xuan did on Zilong Star, anyone who has some knowledge of Zilong Star knows how difficult this matter is.
The association upgraded Gao Xuan to a level six member so easily because even the old guys in the association knew very well that what Gao Xuan did was very, very remarkable and very, very awesome.
Just this one thing is enough to prove Gao Xuan's ability.
However, there are not many people who understand as well as the old guy in the association.
The senior members of the Xiao family have all worked in the military for their entire lives. They have a deep understanding of the cruelty of war and the actual conditions on various planets.
It’s different for other families. They all like to look down on other planets from a high vantage point.
As for the children of the noble families, they were even more arrogant. The earth-shaking achievements that Gao Xuan had made on Zilong Star were nothing special in their eyes.
They may even think that it would be possible if they were there.
It would be difficult for Gao Xuan, an outsider of the Xiao family, to gain recognition from other aristocratic families based on Zilongxing's achievements.
Xiao Wan also knew that Gao Xuan had a bad temper, so she needed to explain the situation to Gao Xuan in advance.
"I understand. They are a bunch of ignorant dandies."
Gao Xuan said: "Now I am a silver swordsman, whoever doesn't accept me will be killed."
"Are you a swordsman?"
Xiao Wan was a little surprised. She looked Gao Xuan up and down but didn't see anything different.
However, since Gao Xuan was able to sneak into Qingyunju alone and kill Guo Zhengjun, it is more reasonable to say that he is a silver swordsman.
"Yes, I made a breakthrough on the way to Purple Dragon Star..."
There is no need to hide the fact that he has become a silver swordsman. Gao Xuan didn't say it earlier because he didn't want Xiao Wan to think too much.
He broke through to the silver level just after getting the Immortal Golden Cicada. The Xiao family will definitely think that this Immortal Golden Cicada is very important.
Although the Xiao family was unable to get back the Immortal Golden Cicada, they instinctively felt that Gao Xuan had taken advantage of them.
This kind of psychology is actually very subtle, but it will produce many negative effects.
Gao Xuan also tried to handle the situation as calmly as possible and downplay the impact.
Xiao Wan didn't think too much about it. She was very happy for Gao Xuan: "You are only 19 years old, and you have already become a silver swordsman. This should be rare in the history of the alliance..."
"Thanks to Sister Wan's cultivation."
Flattery is free, and Gao Xuan's words are as sweet as honey. With just a few words, Xiao Wan smiled happily and completely forgot about him and Xiao Ting.
Xiao Wan sent Gao Xuan home and had dinner with him before leaving.
When she returned to the old house, the dome was already filled with stars.
Xiao Wan returned to her room, took a shower, changed into home clothes, then went downstairs to her father's study.
In front of the huge desk, Xiao Cheng was holding a large brush and writing neat small characters.
It is not difficult for him to control power, but it is difficult to control the fixed cognitive habits of tools.
Practicing calligraphy is also practicing the mind.
"Gao Xuan is back..."
Xiao Cheng acted out of character and actually spoke to Xiao Wan while practicing calligraphy.
Xiao Wan was also a little surprised. She said quickly, "He's back. He and Xiao Ting must have had sex."
She felt that Xiao Ting was not acting, and that casual intimacy was hard to fake. Gao Xuan had no need to cooperate with Xiao Ting to deceive her.
"This kid has always been thoughtful, and he's quite decisive this time."
Xiao Cheng finished writing the last few words calmly, then slowly washed the brush with water, "It can be seen that Gao Xuan is indeed a genius."
Xiao Wan said a little aggrievedly: "Xiao Ting is too shameless.
Xiao Cheng washed and hung up his pen. He turned around and lectured Xiao Wan, "How many times have I told you this? War is the most violent and terrible struggle. There are no principles and no bottom line. Everything is for the sake of victory."
He criticized: "As a soldier, you must have this kind of awareness."
"Soldiers must have a sense of honor."
Xiao Wan was a little unconvinced, "Soldiers without a sense of honor can only be a group of warlike beasts."
“These are two different things.”
Xiao Cheng sighed: "You still can't tell the difference, which is not a good thing."
He didn't want to talk more about this topic, as it involved a complex world view and outlook on life, which couldn't be changed by just a few words.
Just like he thought Xiao Ting's methods were understandable, and it was not difficult for her to sleep with Gao Xuan. His daughter was just too arrogant, and she wanted to wait for Gao Xuan to take the initiative to pursue her...
How could a man like Gao Xuan be short of women
Gao Xuan is so smart, he may not want to get involved with his superiors.
Xiao Cheng said: "Why do you come so late? What do you want to say?"
"Dad, news came from Pegasus. Blood Shadow has taken action again."
Xiao Wan said: "Now, it can be completely confirmed that Gao Xuan and Xueying have no connection."
"There shouldn't be any connection. You're just thinking too much."
Xiao Cheng has always disagreed with this speculation. Just looking at Xueying's style of doing things, he found that it was completely different from Gao Xuan's.
Gao Xuan is a teenager after all, and he doesn't have the wisdom or ability.
"There is no problem with Gao Xuan's identity. We can trust him completely."
Xiao Wan said.
Xiao Cheng laughed dumbly: "You are the only one who doubts him. If we doubt Gao Xuan, he won't be able to join the association."
Xiao Wan felt a little embarrassed when she was laughed at. At this moment, she also felt that she was thinking too much.
"In a couple of days, I will bring Gao Xuan to a social gathering and let him show off!"
Xiao Wan was quite looking forward to this. She had participated in many social gatherings, but was not very happy every time.
"You should stay out of trouble."
Xiao Cheng said: "The situation has been a bit chaotic in recent years, and the activities of the Blood God Society have become more rampant. I suspect that many upper echelons of the noble families have been infiltrated. This is very troublesome."
As the supreme commander of the Taurus Defense Force, Xiao Cheng is very sensitive to the safety of Taurus.
He felt that the major families had some bad trends and were becoming more and more unrestrained in their actions.
The seemingly prosperous and bustling Taurus was actually withering and rotting inside, which made Xiao Cheng a little uneasy.
If this continues, Taurus will be destroyed in perhaps one or two hundred years.
Xiao Yan's dominance on Zilong Star this time was actually due to his strong vigilance against the cult.
The upper echelons of the Twelve Star Regions have also begun to consciously and forcefully crack down on various cults.
At this time, it is not appropriate for the Xiao family to be too prominent.
Xiao Wan shook her head: "Lan Tiancheng and the others have been complacent for too long, I want to teach him a lesson!"
Lan Tiancheng is a few years older than Xiao Wan and has always been the leader of their generation.
When this guy was twenty years old, he was known as the best young swordsman in Taurus.
Now more than ten years have passed, and no one can shake Lan Tiancheng's position.
Lan Tiancheng's group also included Yu Feiyi and Bai Yue. These guys colluded with each other and bullied other children of noble families. They can be said to be three notorious bullies.
Xiao Wan had been abused by the three men many times at the sword meeting and hated these guys to the core.
This time with Gao Xuan here, she will definitely teach Lan Tiancheng and the others a lesson.
Seeing Xiao Wan gritting her teeth, Xiao Cheng suddenly felt that his daughter really had not grown up.
At this time, I was still struggling with my childhood and was still thinking about beating Lan Tiancheng to vent my anger...
Xiao Cheng sighed in his heart. If Xiao Wan was smarter, she would have slept with Gao Xuan and forced him to marry her long ago.
Gao Xuan is such a talented person, maybe he will have a chance to become a Golden Sword Saint in the future!
Now that we have caught such a person, we can't let him slip away.
Xiao Cheng thought silently, his daughter is not sensible, as a father, he can only try his best to help her...
