Chapter 59: The Xiao Family and Dogs – Dogs Can Enter the City, But the Xiao Family Must Roll Out!

When Xiao Yang arrived at the second-floor lounge of the inn, everyone was already having breakfast.

The large hole eroded by corpse water in the wooden floor had been repaired.

The entire wooden floor had been replaced.

Pang Hu’s efficiency was pretty decent, huh?

“Senior Brother…”

Seeing Xiao Yang arrive, everyone quickly stood up and bowed to him.

“Mm!”

Xiao Yang nodded and directly sat down at an empty spot beside Song Qiang and Lin Wangchuan.

He was a laid-back guy, with no airs of being a senior brother or the sect’s Holy Son.

In truth, he got along well with his junior disciples.

Things started changing little by little after Qin Fei joined the sect.

Xiao Yang looked around and asked, “Where’s Elder Lei?”

He didn’t see Law Enforcement Elder Lei Lie’s figure.

Neither Jiang Ting nor Qin Fei was here either.

He also didn’t spot his parents or sister.

“Elder Lei has already finished breakfast and gone out,” said Song Qiang.

From Song Qiang, Xiao Yang learned that Jiang Ting and Qin Fei had also eaten breakfast early and left to organize things for their departure.

His parents and sister were in the same boat.

Jiang Ting was looking after Qin Fei and was hands-on about everything.

Xiao Yang had never gotten such treatment from his junior sister Jiang Ting.

It was only after Qin Fei joined the Qingyang Sword Sect that Xiao Yang realized Jiang Ting even knew how to take care of someone.

Once, when he accidentally cut his hand while practicing, Jiang Ting seemed totally unconcerned.

“We are sword cultivators; getting a bit hurt and shedding some blood is pretty normal. Just take care of it yourself.”

But when Qin Fei got hurt, she looked tense and heartbroken, personally bandaging his wounds with care.

In his previous life, he had put in genuine feelings but received no concern and was ruthlessly trampled on.

Thinking of his past with junior sister Jiang Ting, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head.

His parents and sister brought a lot of things; they had all eaten breakfast early and were packing up, ready to leave South Stone Town once everyone finished their breakfast.

From Song Qiang, he learned that they had been busy all night.

As many as sixteen remnants of the Demon Sect had died in that underground ruin.

But strangely, these remnants had no Black Lotus marks on them.

It was then that Law Enforcement Elder realized he had made a very basic mistake.

He had only thought to seal off South Stone Town and check everyone’s soles.

How could remnants of the Demon Sect that had been hiding for hundreds of years so easily reveal themselves?

Elder Lei Lie must have felt so frustrated; it was utterly embarrassing.

Listening to Song Qiang recounting what happened last night, Xiao Yang chuckled.

Qin Fei took a quiet loss, not only taking down his underlings but also personally finishing off his shadow companion, You Ying.

That guy must be fuming mad right now.

Just imagining Qin Fei being forced to put on an act in front of everyone, despite wanting to explode with rage, made him feel utterly satisfied and relieved.

“Big Brother Holy Son, Xiaobai has been asleep for a whole night, do you think something might be wrong?” Lin Wangchuan quietly said to Xiao Yang.

He was carefully cradling the bag containing the purple-eyed spirit monkey, Xiaobai.

“Brother, you…”

Xiao Yang turned to look and was shocked to see Lin Wangchuan sporting dark circles under his eyes, bloodshot and looking a bit haggard.

No way, did he really stay up all night just watching over Xiaobai?

“Xiaobai is fine, really. You don’t trust me?”

Xiao Yang patted Lin Wangchuan’s shoulder and continued, “Don’t worry!”

Xiaobai had consumed the inner core of the Golden Silk Dragon Carp King and had entered a state of transformation.

But the transformation of a beast takes time.

“Mm, Big Brother Holy Son, I trust you!” Lin Wangchuan nodded earnestly.

Once they finished eating, everyone directly left the inn.

Outside the inn, the horse-drawn carts were all ready.

Xiao Yang didn’t want to ride with his parents.

So he squeezed into a cart with Lin Wangchuan, Song Qiang, Yun Qianxue, and Qi Xuan.

“Unfilial son, you…”

Father Xiao Zhenshan was really mad.

Mother Chen Ruolan also had some grievances.

Sister Xiao Yue looked completely displeased.

In their eyes, Xiao Yang wasn’t like this before.

He used to be too scared to go against them and spoiled Xiao Yue excessively.

Now, to them, Xiao Yang looked like he had grown wings and dared to ignore their words.

He was actually avoiding them now.

Unbelievable.

After all, they were Xiao Yang’s parents.

They thought no matter how they treated Xiao Yang, he should just put up with it.

So what if he was the sect’s Holy Son? So what if he was a genius in sword path?

He is my son; he should listen to me.

In Xiao Yue’s eyes, Xiao Yang was her brother; he had to spoil her.

But this time, they were mistaken.

At this moment, Pang Hu was leading the outer disciples of the Qingyang Sword Sect from South Stone Town.

The caravan left the inn and directly exited South Stone Town.

Watching the departing caravan, Pang Hu finally let out a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Finally got rid of these lords.

“Let’s go back!”

Pang Hu said as he turned around, waving his sleeves, leading his subordinates back.

Just after Xiao Yang left South Stone Town, the Qingyang Sword Sect sent people to handle the aftermath.

The matter of the Demon Sect remnants reappearing was no small deal.

Qingyang Sword Sect still needed to notify other sects.

The journey was uneventful.

By evening, they finally arrived at Yuanlong City.

However, when Xiao Yang’s caravan appeared outside the city gate, passersby were shocked and whispered among themselves.

“This caravan must belong to the Xiao family!”

“Didn’t you see the Xiao family’s Rising Dragon flag on the cart?”

“Could it be the Xiao family is making a comeback?”

Passersby stopped to watch.

Recently, the Liu family had surged back into Yuanlong City, and the Xiao family head directly led his family to flee.

However, the Xiao family’s second-in-command, Xiao Zhenhai’s family, didn’t manage to escape in time and became captives of the Liu family.

Uncle Xiao Zhenhai’s family was thrown into the North Mountain mines.

What a tragic fate.

The feud between the Xiao and Liu families was longstanding.

Originally, Yuanlong City was the Liu family’s territory.

The Xiao family was just a low-ranked cultivation family surviving under the Liu family’s influence.

But ever since Xiao Yang emerged, everything changed.

Once Xiao Yang became the Holy Son of the Qingyang Sword Sect, the Xiao family was able to stand on equal footing with the Liu family in Yuanlong City.

The Xiao and Liu families had been getting along fine until then.

But several years ago, the Xiao family discovered a spirit stone mine in North Mountain.

The Liu family tried to force their way in, aiming to seize the mine from the Xiao family.

The conflict between the two families escalated to a point of no return.

They fought a war, both sides suffering casualties.

In the end, it was Xiao Yang who defeated the then-head of the Liu family, driving them out of Yuanlong City.

Xiao Yang had not exterminated them back then, leaving behind today’s troubles.

At this moment, the caravan stopped outside the city gate.

Soon enough, a crowd gathered to watch.

“Unbelievable!”

The next moment, a furious shout rang out from the front.

It was the angry voice of Xiao Zhenshan.

Xiao Yang frowned, opening the curtain of the cart to step out.

He looked up and saw that a banner hung above the city gate, written in flamboyant characters: “Xiao Family and Dogs – Dogs Can Enter the City, But the Xiao Family Must Roll Out!”

“What?”

Xiao Yang was instantly furious.

The Liu family dared to demean the Xiao family like this?

Xiao family members, even dogs are treated better?

He shouldn’t have let the Liu family off back then!

That moment of leniency cost him dearly, leading to their rampant trampling and humiliation!
