Chapter 90: The Surprised Clan Members
Chapter 90: The Surprised Clan Members
On top of the griffin beast, Xiao Ming shook his head with a smile when he heard Zi Yan's words beside him and said.
"Although Wu Tan City has a large population, that is only because of the convenience of being close to the Magic Beast Mountain Range, although the Xiao Family is the supreme lord of Wu Tan City, it is still only a small family, of course, there are not many strong people."
After saying that, Xiao Ming softly said to Xiao Shan who was a little excited to go home, "Xiao Shan, find a place to control the griffin beast to descend, don't be as careless as you were just now, remember to be careful."
Xiao Shan, who was standing by the Griffin's reins, smiled awkwardly. Indeed, he had made a mistake just now, forgetting that his family's strength was inferior to that of the Jia Nan Academy students, so he had not controlled the altitude properly.
After answering in the affirmative, Xiao Shan began to look for a place to land.
"Xiao Ming! Could it be Xiao Ming who is on the Jia Nan Academy's flying magic beast!?"
Above the grandstand, Xiao Zhan and the other high-level family members showed a thoughtful look on their faces, then a look of surprise, and finally a clear joy.
If it was Xiao Ming who had returned from the Jia Nan Academy, then the Xiao Clan could move to the next level!
Even Xiao Zhan, who had just been in a bad mood because the clan members had made fun of Xiao Yan, had a smile on his face.
This was because he could ask Xiao Ming to treat his son now that he was back.
Because they were so engrossed in the possibility of Xiao Ming returning to the clan, they simply ignored the last half of Zi Yan's sentence that they were too weak.
The delighted Xiao Zhan was about to instruct the boys and girls in the square to make room for them when the Grand Elder beside him shouted excitedly.
"Quickly, make room for the flying magic beast to land!"
Hearing the Grand Elder's command, the crowd below quickly moved away from the central area where the Magic Stone Tablet is located.
In fact, there was no need to do so, the testing ground was large enough and there were empty spaces further away.
After taking a glance down, Xiao Shan gave up his plan to fly the Griffin to the side and instead, directly controlled it to slowly land next to Magic Stone Tablet.
When the flying beast landed, the violent winds blew again, but since the crowd was far enough away after the lesson learned earlier, no more people were shaken.
The air currents slowly weakened until they disappeared, and the griffin beast finally landed in front of the crowd of the Xiao family, with its huge bird-like face staring at the nearest members.
This scene directly caused many of the young Xiao family members to make a horrified face and retreat a few steps back from the not-so-short distance.
On the training ground were not only the young teenagers who had not known the world, above the bleachers were murmuring the older members of the Xiao family.
"Is that Jia Nan Academy's flying magical beast? That aura is as strong as the Clan Head's, right? It's worthy of the Jia Nan Academy."
"Alas, if our clan had a flying magic beast, it would save us a lot of trouble."
"What are you thinking about? This level of flying magic beast is not something we can have."
"Ahem, stop, the people on the flying beast are descending, let's take a look."
Xiao Zhan interrupted the meaningless conversation and led the way, several elders followed closely behind, and the others immediately followed after glancing at each other.
...
On the back of the griffin beast, sensing that it had stopped, Xiao Ming said to the few people beside him, "It has stopped, let's go."
After saying this, he pulled Zi Yan and went out.
As they got out, Xiao Ming and Zi Yan were immediately spotted by the people waiting around.
"There are people coming out of the flying magic beast! Who is that young man holding a little girl in white?"
"I don't know, but he's so handsome!"
"There's someone behind him, it's cousin Xiao Yu!"
"The skinny young man behind Xiao Yu is cousin Xiao Hu!"
"Cousin Xiao Shan is also there!"
Since Xiao Ming had been away from the Xiao family for too long and was too young, it was not surprising that not many people recognized him for a while, and only a few people looked at his somewhat familiar face and made some guesses in their hearts.
With the appearance of Xiao Yu and the others, these people felt more and more in their hearts that their guesses were correct.
"Hahahaha, Xiao Ming, you're really back!"
Finally, just as the clan members were speaking, a loud laughter came from the back of the crowd, naming Xiao Ming's identity.
With that, the crowd parted and a group of high-ranking clan members came to stand in front of Xiao Ming, each with unmistakable joy on their faces.
"What, that's Xiao Ming, the number one hero of our Xiao family? It's been years since I've seen him, I didn't even recognize him!"
"Haha, I guessed it a long time ago, Xiao Ming is still as handsome as when he was a kid!"
"Haha, the return of the strongest person in our Xiao family is a great joy, we will definitely organize a banquet and have a good time tonight."
"Cousin Xiao Ming should be able to stay in the family for quite a long time this time he came back, it's only a little over a year until his sixteen-year coming of age ceremony."
"..."
All the surrounding Xiao family members understood Xiao Ming's identity because of that earlier shout, and then they also revealed happy smiles.
The significance of Xiao Ming's return to the Xiao family was extraordinary, and Xiao Ming had also sent many things to the family, cultivated the second strongest person in the family, Xiao Shan, and the family had become the supreme lord of Wu Tan City as a result.
Therefore, his reputation was very high in the Xiao family, especially in the hearts of the young people, this cousin who had left home to pursue his studies since he was a child, and almost had a god-like divine ability, so when everyone mentioned the name Xiao Ming, their voices became a little more respectful.
"Grandfather!"
Xiao Yu, who was next to Xiao Ming, greeted the Grand Elder with a smile after seeing him, while Xiao Ming and the others greeted Xiao Zhan, who was at the head of the group.
"Clan Head, Elders. I disturbed you just now while you were doing the Dou Qi test, why don't you continue?"
"No problem, it's no trouble at all, the test will be conducted later anyway." The second elder beside Xiao Zhan stroked his beard and said with a smile, indeed, they were disturbed, but not many people here would care about such things compared to Xiao Ming's return.
Xiao Zhan, who was about to reply beside him, sighed and was speechless, these old farts always stole his word in front of Xiao Ming, it was like this before and it was like this now.
Outside the edge of the crowd, Xiao Yan, who was alone, looked at Xiao Ming, who had a kind smile in the middle of the crowd, with a complicated look.
The treatment of Xiao Ming, who was surrounded at this moment, was in stark contrast to what he had experienced before, which could not help but cause a hint of self-deprecation to appear at the corner of his lips.
He knew that before his talent disappeared, he had also had this kind of treatment of being surrounded by everyone.
However, after his Dou Qi disappeared, he was immediately despised by everyone in the family except his brothers and father, while those clan members who had been eager to please him when he was a child were all ruthless with their words, which was really...
Xiao Yan shook his head in despair, in fact, he understood why Xiao Ming was so popular, because Xiao Ming had really made many contributions to the family in addition to his talent, so he fears that in the Xiao family, even his father, the Clan Head, was not as prestigious as him.
