Xiahuang Realm, the Xiao family's residence.
Xiao Sheng was practicing quietly when someone came here. Xiao Sheng opened his eyes and looked at the person who came, it was his father Xiao Qianhe.
Xiao Qianhe looked at his son. He had placed high hopes on Xiao Sheng, hoping that one day he would be able to take charge of the Xiao family.
Therefore, they paved the way for him, hoping that he would first enter the Xia Palace, come to Xia Qingyuan's side, serve Xia Qingyuan, and get close to the center of power.
But since Ye Futian appeared next to Xia Qingyuan, everything has changed. In the battle of the Sky Realm, Xiao Sheng did a stupid thing. It would be fine if Ye Futian died, but no one who strayed from the Imperial Realm could be killed. Dead Ye Futian also tied up his own future.
Later, during a conversation, Xiao Sheng seemed to guess Ye Futian's whereabouts. Next, something happened in Xiahuang Realm.
No one in the Xiao family knew about this matter, but he knew something about it.
Therefore, Xiao Qianhe understood that Xiao Sheng must be involved in this matter and could not escape his involvement.
"Ye Futian is back." Xiao Qianhe said, and Xiao Sheng's eyelids twitched.
Did he actually come back alive
It seemed that he was still not able to kill him.
But it doesn't matter, this matter is not over yet.
"The princess personally greeted her outside the palace, and she also sent people down to the realm before." Xiao Qianhe continued. Now that Ye Futian has returned, everything no longer needs to be hidden and can be made public. Xiao Qianhe will naturally know .
"Why are you telling me this, father?" Xiao Sheng said.
"Who is helping you?" Xiao Qianhe stared at Xiao Sheng.
He knows his son better than his father. As Xiao Sheng's father, he knows Xiao Sheng very well. As for the things he knows, Xiao Sheng can't do it now. Such a careful layout, with the resources that Xiao Sheng controlled after that incident, Can't finish.
If he really did it and no one else could find out, how could he not find out.
Therefore, someone must be helping Xiao Sheng.
"I don't understand what you are talking about, father." Xiao Sheng glanced at Xiao Qianhe. Even his father did not know what he had done.
The last incident taught him a profound lesson. Now, he doesn't trust anyone.
The Xiao family is a family, and it is a prominent family for a while. If giving up Xiao Sheng can bring prosperity to the family, the old man will not hesitate.
So after that incident, his status plummeted, and the marriage between Shenxiao Valley was abandoned.
He took all these to heart.
"Maybe now, there is still a way to go back, as long as you are not the one who carried out all this." Xiao Qianhe said again.
Xiao Sheng smiled when he heard Xiao Qianhe's words and said, "Does my father care about me? It's just that I really don't know what my father is talking about."
Way back
There is no way back.
What's more, he was indeed not involved in this matter. Could it be that Xia Qingyuan was going to come directly to her mother's family without any evidence, take her cousin away, and force him to be executed to force him to speak
So, this is interesting.
Xiao Qianhe took a deep look at Xiao Sheng and found that he could not understand his son more and more.
Maybe it was because of the last incident that he was stimulated.
"It has been several years since you entered the peak realm of a sage. Even Wangchuan has broken through and become a saint. You are also known as the ultimate saint, but you have not been able to enter the holy way for a long time. Maybe you are troubled by your state of mind. Maybe you are troubled by your state of mind. , I should not have paved the way for you to go to the Xia Palace, but should have allowed you to practice with peace of mind." Xiao Qianhe sighed.
Xiao Sheng didn't say anything. It had been two years since Wangchuan entered the holy way.
At the beginning, he was considered to be as famous as Lihen Tianwangchuan, both of them were the most holy subordinates.
However, since the Saint realm is the threshold, it will inevitably lead to many people of the same level breaking through the realm at different times, and it may even be many years apart.
At this time, someone came over from outside. Xiao Qianhe frowned and asked, "Who let you in?"
"Uncle, Ye Futian is here to visit and wants to see the young master." The visitor said. Xiao Qianhe was stunned when he heard his words, and a very cold light flashed in Xiao Sheng's eyes.
Ye Futian, come to visit him
What does Ye Futian mean
"Who else?" Xiao Qianhe asked.
Princess Xia Qingyuan, isn't she here
"Except for Ye Futian, there is only one sword cultivator." The visitor reported back. Xiao Qianhe nodded, guessing that it should be the sword servant of the Void Sword Master who sent Ye Futian here.
This means that during this trip, Ye Futian was almost alone visiting the Xiao family.
He glanced at Xiao Sheng and said, "You can handle it on your own."
After that, he left here directly.
Xiao Sheng smiled, stood up and walked out. Is Ye Futian coming to visit
At this moment, he suddenly wanted to see Ye Futian.
The person who made him fall from high spirits to the bottom was not able to kill him twice.
In the courtyard, not long after, Xiao Sheng waited for the handsome white-haired young man. His temperament was still so outstanding. When he stepped into the Xiao family's mansion, he felt as if he was walking in his own home, comfortable, natural and unrestrained. .
Ye Futian came here, and the two stood opposite each other, staring at each other, neither of them avoiding the other's eyes.
"Are you disappointed?" Ye Futian said to Xiao Sheng.
A slight smile appeared on Xiao Sheng's lips but he said nothing. If Ye Futian thought that he could admit it if he came in person, he was obviously wrong.
"I heard that you are very interested in my going to Dali?" Ye Futian saw that Xiao Sheng was silent and continued: "I went to the Dali Dynasty as a swordsman, entered the Dali Imperial Master's Mansion to practice, and worshiped the Dali Imperial Master. As a teacher, I made friends with Li Yao, and Li Yao personally gave me the skills. Emperor Li wanted to betroth the princess to me, but I refused."
Xiao Sheng's heart twitched, and the smile on his face disappeared little by little, as if he was a little jealous.
Even after arriving in the Dali Dynasty, he was no worse than those who had lived in the Xiahuang Realm. He became a disciple of the Dali Imperial Master, became friends with Li Yao, and was rejected by Emperor Li's offer of marriage.
So, as long as he nods, he can become the Prince Consort of Dali
"It's very exciting." Xiao Sheng's voice was slightly cold: "However, I am not interested in your affairs."
"Really? I thought you would be very interested." Ye Futian smiled and said: "I heard that you have been confined here, with restricted movement. You are not allowed to take a step. You are not even qualified to see anyone."
"In the last incident, Princess Xiao summoned me and allowed me to freely enter and leave the Lotus Golden Palace of the palace to practice and choose the ten-step technique to pass on. At the same time, she asked Shenxiao Valley to create sacred weapons for the people around me, which saved your life. , although you are still the young master of the Xiao family, you can only live in the darkness, I feel sad for you."
"Are you here just to humiliate me?" Xiao Sheng looked at Ye Futian and said.
"Of course not. I just want to tell you. Maybe you think that as long as you don't admit it and don't have evidence, I can't do anything to you. But you have to understand that in many cases, evidence is not needed at all." Ye Futian continued. Said: "Even if I don't kill you now, what status do you think I will have in the Xiahuang Realm ten or twenty years from now? From now on, I will always keep an eye on you. If I want to kill you, how will you survive?" "
The smile on Xiao Sheng's face disappeared completely, and he stared at Ye Futian with cold eyes. He knew that Ye Futian was telling the truth.
What is Ye Futian's status now, and what status will it be in the future
If he is really being targeted to death, can he escape
Now, Xia Qingyuan is staring at him.
As if he remembered something, Xiao Sheng suddenly smiled, and his smile was extremely cold, and said: "Then I hope you can survive until then."
"The person behind you?" Ye Futian stared at Xiao Sheng and said, "If you explain yourself, maybe I will be merciful to you."
Xiao Sheng stared at Ye Futian. Did he come just to scare him
"Here comes someone." Xiao Sheng said. Someone came over. Xiao Sheng looked at Ye Futian and said, "See you off."
Ye Futian turned around and left. He had gotten what he wanted to know and confirmed something.
Although I had already believed that Xiao Sheng had something to do with it and would definitely be involved.
But in order to make final confirmation, he came to see Xiao Sheng in person, which also proved his suspicion that Xiao Sheng was indeed involved.
There is no evidence or reason. Xiao Sheng's attitude and everything before are enough to confirm.
Xiao Sheng did not deliberately pretend. Apart from not admitting it, he did not hide his indifferent attitude at all.
Now that it's determined, everything is much simpler.
… …
After Ye Futian left, Ye Futian walked to the place of cultivation. He sat cross-legged and looked up at the sky.
When you enter the realm of Emperor Li, you can become a disciple of the Great Li State Master and be granted a marriage by Emperor Li.
In the Xia Emperor's world, the Xia Emperor favors and trusts the princess, even more than her mother's family, and absolutely protects her.
Although it is only the position of the princess's personal attendant, he can freely enter and leave the palace, the princess's mansion, and the Lotus Golden Palace. What kind of status is this
And what about Xiao Sheng
What Ye Futian said was not wrong. He could only set up a plot to kill Ye Futian in a dark corner, but still failed. Ye Futian's status was getting higher and higher, and even his actions were restricted. This What an irony.
"Maybe I was wrong." Xiao Sheng sighed, as if Ye Futian's sarcasm woke him up.
From the start, he was wrong.
He should not have pursued that illusory position of power, wanted to marry Shenxiao Valley, wanted to go to Xia Palace and become the first person around Xia Qingyuan, so as to obtain a higher status and more resources for practice.
What Ye Futian did was exactly the opposite of him. He never pursued it, but he had all this at his fingertips. Even the relationship between him and Xia Qingyuan was far inferior to Ye Futian's status.
Why is this so
Now, it can be said that he has lost everything. Xiao's status and reputation are far away from him.
But what does all this have to do with it
Power and status are like fleeting clouds, illusory and illusory. When you pursue it, you often cannot get it. On the contrary, if you have a pure state of mind and just focus on practice, all these will be at your fingertips.
All conditioned dharmas are like bubbles in a dream.
At this moment, Xiao Sheng seemed to have let go and was in a clear state of mind!
