Chapter 1761 - 1752: Xu Family
Chapter 1761 - 1752: Xu Family
Besides Zhang Tianhua, Mo Wangchen has three other friends in the Xuantian Sacred Land.
Li Ziyue, Xi Xiaoyu, and Yue Qian!
The three were the first friends Mo Wangchen made when he first arrived in the Bodhi Realm.
Back then, Mo Wangchen was completely unaware of the matters of this realm, but fortunately, they helped him untangle his doubts.
Mo Wangchen said, "Tomorrow, when you go to Xuantian, take me with you. It’s been more than sixty years, and I should meet these old friends..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xuan was overjoyed. Years ago, he knew that Mo Wangchen had an extraordinary connection with the Xuantian Sacred Land. Hence, over the years, he often interacted with Xuantian with the aim to connect with Mo Wangchen through them.
It seems now that years of effort have not been in vain. The Xu Family has established good relations with the Xuantian Sect, and now has ties with Mo Wangchen, who possesses the Creation Dao. This is a promising start.
Soon, Xu Xuan led Mo Wangchen and others out of Qiancheng Building.
He certainly would not arrange for them to stay here, but would rather take them to the Xu Family.
The Xu Family, one of the three major families in Tiange City, coexists with the Shen Family and Nangong Family. For many years, these three families competed over interests, the rivalry was intense in the early years, until after Xuantian established the sacred land, they dared not stir up too much trouble under Xuantian’s watch.
The Xu Family is located on the south side of Tiange City, occupying a vast area not inferior to a sect. With nearly a thousand direct disciples, and because of the years of good relations with the Xuantian Sacred Land, Xu Family members often get selected to join Xuantian Sacred Land for cultivation.
It was not long after leaving Qiancheng Building that under Xu Xuan’s lead, Mo Wangchen and his group arrived at the Xu Family mansion front.
On both sides stood a pair of giant stone lions, vivid and lifelike, with pupils inlaid with black pearls flowing with strands of Great Dao Divine Power, making the two stone lions appear more spiritual, as if they could come to life at any moment.
"Brother Xu Xuan!"
Just as the group was about to enter the Xu Family, a young man suddenly approached from the distant street. After greeting Xu Xuan, his gaze began to scrutinize Mo Wangchen and the others, asking Xu Xuan, "Who are these people?"
"They are my friends."
Xu Xuan casually replied, without revealing Mo Wangchen’s identity, but instead looked at this young man and asked, "Aren’t you supposed to be diligently cultivating in Xuantian? How come you’ve returned?"
The man named Xu Ye, also a direct descendant of the Xu Family, is Xu Xuan’s cousin. Several years ago, he joined the Xuantian Sacred Land, and due to his outstanding talent and performance, he became the senior disciple of a branch of Xuantian two years ago, earning high praise from the Xu Family’s high ranks, his status nearly rivaling Xu Xuan, the Young Master of the Xu Family.
Nowadays, after the establishment of the sacred land, Xuantian has a total of eighteen branches, and Xu Ye becoming the senior disciple of one of them implies his potential is boundless.
"If I recall correctly, tomorrow should be the day the family sends tea leaves to Xuantian. I haven’t returned for a long time, so I came back to take a look and take care of delivering the tea leaves to Xuantian," Xu Ye said.
"I’ll deliver the tea leaves myself; there’s no need for you to go through the trouble of coming back. However, now that you’re back, go see your father. He’s quite concerned about your progress in cultivation at Xuantian," Xu Xuan said.
Xu Ye nodded and then followed Xu Xuan, Mo Wangchen, and others into the Xu Family mansion.
As they walked towards the inner family, Xu Ye couldn’t help but speak again, "I’ve met most of Brother Xu Xuan’s friends before, but these few seem unusually unfamiliar?"
"They are friends I met years ago; it’s no surprise you don’t know them. Enough questions, when you see your father, fetch a specially made Thousand Tea for me. I want to use it to entertain these friends," Xu Xuan said.
"Specially made Thousand Tea?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ye was startled, then slightly frowned, muttering, "That’s different from regular Thousand Tea, even within the family there’s not much left, yet it’s used to entertain these people..."
Although his voice was small, Mo Wangchen and Xu Xuan and the others were deeply cultivated, with keen senses, how could they not hear?
"Hurry up!"
Xu Xuan couldn’t help but admonish, thinking that Xu Ye was a bit too talkative.
"I understand."
Xu Ye dared not say more. Despite being the senior disciple of a branch of Xuantian, he dared not behave improperly in front of Xu Xuan. After leaving these words, he turned to go in a different direction, still puzzled in his heart. The specially made Thousand Tea was reserved for entertaining Saint Master Level visitors. Yet it was to be used for these young people of unknown origin? Was Brother Xu Xuan making much ado about nothing?
"Just now Xu Ye was a bit rude, please do not mind,"
Knowing Xu Ye had left, Xu Xuan turned to Mo Wangchen and the others with an apologetic smile.
"No problem."
Mo Wangchen waved his hand, evidently unconcerned.
Soon, Xu Xuan led them to a spacious courtyard with six or seven rooms, perfect for one person per room, where they would stay for the night.
Xu Xuan did not leave, but invited Mo Wangchen and others to sit in the pavilion within the courtyard. After chatting for a while, Xu Ye came in carrying a tea set.
"Huh? Why is it just ordinary Thousand Tea?"
Xu Xuan was about to serve tea to Mo Wangchen and others, but upon smelling it, realized something was amiss and couldn’t help but frown. His eyes scanned Xu Ye.
"The specially made Thousand Tea is kept at the Great Elder’s place; there’s no need to disturb him... Moreover, it’s said to be used to entertain Brother Xu Xuan’s friends... The Great Elder probably wouldn’t give it..."
Xu Ye stated directly, since the specially made Thousand Tea is scarce and hard to obtain, each drink reduces the quantity. Previously, the Xu Family would only use it to entertain visiting Saint Master Level experts. If he asked the Great Elder to take a portion of specially made Thousand Tea leaves to entertain a few young people, wouldn’t the Great Elder scold him approvingly?
"Forget it Brother Xu, we’ve already had Thousand Tea twice today, you don’t need to specially prepare the specially made tea leaves for us," Lin Bai spoke, not wanting Xu Xuan to have any discord with his cousin due to their presence.
Xu Xuan paused for a moment and then nodded. His gaze then moved to Xu Ye, and he said sternly, "Alright, you’ve just returned from Xuantian, sit down too. These friends of mine are from afar, remember to treat them well if you see them, any neglect from you and I won’t forgive you."
