Chapter 214: Chapter 191: You Better Listen to What My General Says (5000+ for monthly ticket)_3

Xiao Qingxiong was deeply moved upon hearing this, "Brother Sima, that you could bestow upon me such a treasured item, I am truly touched. I really wish today to behead a chicken, burn yellow paper, and become sworn brothers with..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard his father, Family Head Xiao Yuanshan’s voice suddenly transmit, "Qingxiong, come here quickly. You and Ji Shaohua are both young people. Come, show Ji Shaohua around and make sure you’re courteous!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingxiong’s eyes immediately lit up, and without giving Sima Pu a second glance, he said, "Brother Sima, please excuse me for a moment!"

With that, he vanished in a whoosh from Sima Pu’s presence and reappeared in front of the Shushan Chief Disciple in just a few seconds, soon after his characteristic words could be heard.

"Brother Ji truly is a peerless talent, I really admire you. If I, Xiao, could have a friend like you, I would have no regrets."

From a distance, "Sima Pu" stared blankly at the Devil God Incense in his hand, then at that "friend" who was repeating the same words they themselves had used when becoming friends. A fierce and sinister light flashed in his eyes. He damn well wanted to transform right now and tear this guy to pieces.

Hypocritical Human Clan, disgusting!

His gaze darkened as he subtly made eye contact with pairs of eyes in various corners of the Xiao Mansion, his lips moving ever so slightly.

Meanwhile, in the Xiao Family’s backyard, by a tranquil pond at a serene pavilion, the sound of rain disturbed the surface of the water.

Through the curtain of rain, standing at the pavilion window in a green dress with her black hair slung over one side, Xiao Qingzhi looked towards the bustling scene afar. In her clear eyes, a faint glimmer rotated uncertainly.

Suddenly, footsteps approached from outside, followed by calls.

"Miss, Miss!"

Then, with a "pa", the door opened.

A maid with her hair tied in two little buns rushed in.

"Has he come?"

Xiao Qingzhi turned around, her eyes revealing a conflict of emotions, mixed with anticipation.

Surprisingly, what was meant to be a casual gesture had somehow led to her own disquiet.

At that moment, the maid shook her head.

"Miss, as per your instructions, I waited outside, but after a long time, no one showed up, and by now, almost everyone should have arrived. He probably won’t come."

"Perhaps, he felt it presumptuous as you’re strangers, or because he learned you are the young miss of the Xiao Family, he dared not come."

"Or maybe, with the recent unease in the city, he simply isn’t in the mood... It’s hard to say."

The young lady sighed softly upon hearing this.

"Let it be."

"Miss, don’t sigh. Did you know? I saw the Shu Mountain Sword Sect’s Chief Disciple in the front yard. Everyone calls him Ji Shaohua. With his extraordinary demeanor, he looks like he has stepped down from heaven. They say he’s also a great master of Heavenly Pass, and he is respected by all. Miss, do you want to go have a look?" At that moment, the maid Little Jiu was excitedly bright-eyed, chattering away.

However, Xiao Qingzhi just shook her head, uninterested.

"Forget it. You go and have fun without me. I’ll stay here by myself for a while."

Seeing her master like this, the maid mumbled perplexedly, "Miss can’t be like this just from a glance, right? No need to take it so much to heart. Oh, that man probably won’t come now..."

As she finished speaking, a sudden clap of thunder resounded in the sky.

Startled, the maid shrank back her neck, followed by "boom boom boom" thunderous roars.

She couldn’t help but grumble, "Why is this thunder so loud? It’s terrifying."

But then, her mistress abruptly turned around, "It’s not thunder!"

As the words fell, from beyond the rain curtain outside the Xiao Mansion, a torrent of Black Armor surged like a wave being split, with horse hooves pounding fiercely on the green stone pavement, splashing water in all directions.

Fine raindrops hit against the Black Armor only to be dispersed into mist by an invisible force.

In the rapid splashes, it was as if clouds were rolling, pulling out streaks of misty shadows.

"Boom boom boom," the earth echoed loudly.

A multitude of Black Armor, densely packed and in three columns, advanced towards the Xiao Mansion.

Meanwhile, inside the Xiao Mansion, noises erupted as figures darted out towards the entrance or the rooftops.

Quickly, three tall towering horses neighed loudly, with three figures in Green Armor seated sternly on top.

The horses exhaled white breath amidst their loud neighs, and behind them, a dense group of Black Armor figures loomed menacingly through the rainy curtain.

"Mountain-cutting Army!"

"Ninth Mountain!"

Some people shouted, with hints of surprise and questioning.

"What is so much Troops and Horse doing here?"

At this moment, Family Head Xiao Yuanshan walked out of the main gate, and seeing the formidable military Array behind him, his heart tightened," Xiao Yuanshan of the Xiao Family, what brings you gentlemen here?"

Liu Qing reined in his horse, coming forward with a smirk at the corner of his mouth,

"Does Family Head Xiao forget? You sent our General an invitation. Our General is occupied, but he sent us to present a gift."

"This gift ensures everyone’s safety."

With a swing of his hand, he announced,

"By the command of our General!"

"From this moment on, the Xiao Mansion is under lockdown!"

"No one is allowed to enter or exit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two columns of Troops immediately roared into action, swiftly sealing off the Xiao Mansion. At the same time, the Mountain-cutting Banners whizzed through the air and flew above the mansion, forming a grand Array that was somewhat different from the original...

Seeing this, Xiao Yuanshan’s eyebrows twitched with a mixture of surprise and anger.

"What are you doing?"

"The Xiao Family is innocent, today is my daughter’s birthday!"

But Liu Qing remained expressionless,

"Family Head Xiao need not be angry. Today, among your guests, there is a spy from the Six Mountain Demon Tribe, ready to strike at your daughter’s birthday banquet!"

"This is our General’s order!"

"Family Head Xiao, and everyone, please cooperate for the best."

These words, like thunder, instantly set the Xiao Mansion abuzz.

"What?"

"There are Demon spies mingling among us?"

"Is it true?"

"This Ninth Mountain is so domineering, this Colonel, being just a Profound Body, dares to speak like this."

"...."

At this moment, within the crowd, Sima Pu abruptly turned his head, a flash of savagery sparkling in the depths of his eyes.
