After passing through a few small gardens and passing through a few common corridors and stairs, Xiao Chen followed the three guards and walked for a full cup of tea's time before arriving at the main residence of the entire City Lord's Estate, which was also the place where the City Lord Xiao Potian handled his daily business.
It wasn't that Xiao Chen hadn't come to this main residence before, but his memories of that time were already a little blurry. If it wasn't for the three guards leading him this time, he would probably have to walk for a very long time before he could find it.
For some unknown reason, Xiao Chen felt a trace of hesitation in his heart as he stood in front of the main gate. His right hand that was pushing the door also hesitated for a moment. In his remaining memories, although his father Xiao Potian was usually very strict, he treated him very well. It was just that his psychic test this time had disappointed him to the core…
Calming his uneasy mind, Xiao Chen finally pushed open the door and stepped into the main residence.
The main mansion of the City Lord's Mansion was built in a grand and majestic manner. The ground was paved with black golden cedar stones with golden silk patterns. It gave off a sense of luxury and grandeur in its simplicity. The golden silk patterns were crisscrossed, forming complicated patterns that gave people a sense of mystery like the starry sky.
In the main hall, there was a large table by the window. A person was sitting behind the table and reading official documents. He must have noticed Xiao Chen's arrival. He put down the pen in his hand and sat there quietly watching him.
At first, Xiao Chen was still a little uneasy, but after a while, he calmed down and looked at this person silently.
This person had a square face, and his eyes were filled with dominance and majesty. It made the people standing in front of him unconsciously feel small, as if they were ants in front of this person.
He was the City Lord of Dark Night City and the head of the Lin family. His cultivation had reached the peak of the Spiritual Grandmaster Realm and it was rumored that he was already a powerhouse with one foot in the Spiritual King Realm.
"Xiao Chen, stand here. I have something to say to you.”
These few simple words exuded an invisible pressure.
"Father, do you have any instructions?"
However, the Xiao Chen in front of him was not his real son in his heart, and he did not care about the power of this world. Naturally, he showed an unexpected calmness in front of Xiao Potian.
As Xiao Chen spoke, Xiao Potian's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. It had only been half a month since they last met, but he felt that his son seemed to have grown up all of a sudden. Although there was still a lot of childishness in his eyes, his calm eyes and words were no different from an adult. Could it be that setbacks could really make people grow up overnight?
"I heard that a few nights ago, you had a conflict with Qian Fan in the back garden and even beat him up?”Xiao Potian's eyes lit up as he continued," Tell me, why did you hit him?”
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a peerless aura erupted from Xiao Potian's body. Even though Xiao Chen subconsciously had a sense of contempt for this foreign world, he felt that this aura had impacted him, and he could not help but feel a chill on his back.
"He brought people to beat me up, so I naturally have to return the favor.”
Xiao Chen said this unhurriedly. He forced himself to stand there, determined not to let the aura overwhelm him. He also deliberately avoided Xiao Qing in his reply, not wanting her to be involved in this matter. After all, she was only a servant, and she might be angered by others.
"Yes!"
To Xiao Chen's surprise, Xiao Potian did not respond to his sarcastic words, but gave such a simple answer. Moreover, the aura that could directly suppress ordinary people was withdrawn, as if the temperature in the entire hall had risen a lot.
"It is inevitable for brothers to have disputes, but they cannot hurt others.”
After saying this, Xiao Potian seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"I heard from Yi Yun that you're cultivating the 'Lightning Controlling Spiritual Art'. In less than half a month, you've already reached the stage of' Lightning Penetrating Palms 'and entered the spiritual knight realm?”
It was rare for Xiao Chen to reach the spiritual knight realm in half a month, even if it was not considered to be extremely talented. It was really beyond Xiao Potian's imagination that Xiao Chen could reach the spiritual knight realm so quickly.
"Yes, he should have already entered the spiritual knight realm.”
Naturally, his cultivation as a spiritual knight had long been known by others, so there was no need to hide it. Xiao Chen might as well admit it openly. Perhaps he could even gain some benefits for himself.
"Yes! Although your spirit doesn't have much potential, your soul fire is extremely pure. It's only natural that you could reach the spiritual knight realm so quickly.”
After saying these words, Xiao Potian frowned slightly, revealing an expression of hesitation.
"However, if you continue to cultivate, it might be difficult for you to advance. It's better for you to be mentally prepared.”
"Yes, I know."
Xiao Chen did not refute. He also knew that his spirit would become very difficult to cultivate in the future, but the situation of almost going berserk that day made him suspicious. This was completely different from the situation described in the ancient books. Was there some secret in his spirit that he had not discovered? Or perhaps the potential of his spirit was not as unbearable as outsiders imagined.
He would only know the answer to these questions after he had achieved success in his cultivation in the future. Therefore, he put aside everything else and cultivated quietly. As for how far he could reach in the end, that was the arrangement of the heavens.
"Alright, you can go back first. I will get someone to give you some crystal coins. Since you want to cultivate, you should cultivate in peace and stop arguing with your brothers.”
After saying this, Xiao Potian waved his hand, indicating for him to leave first. However, Xiao Chen, who was leaving, did not see the hope and love in his expression.
……
"Since he wants me to cultivate in peace and not argue with my brothers, he means that if I encounter such things in the future, I'll endure it as much as possible and try not to have any conflicts.”
On the way to his courtyard, Xiao Chen closed his eyes and began to think.
He could guarantee that he wouldn't start a conflict first, but Xiao Qianfan and the others didn't succeed this time. They would definitely come again. At that time, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help them.
Sighing lightly, Xiao Chen decided to deal with whatever came his way. He could put aside the grudge between him and Lin Qianfan. The most important thing now was to cultivate as soon as possible and reach a higher realm.
Although his spirit was thought to have low potential, Xiao Chen clenched his fists tightly and firmly believed that he could become a strong person with diligent cultivation. After all, there was nothing difficult in the world.”
……
"Old Master, Little Master is only six years old. Is it really okay for you to ignore him like this?”
An old man suddenly walked out from the shadows of the room. He was dressed in black and had white hair. He had a polite smile on his face. If Xiao Chen was still here, he would definitely recognize that this was the old butler of the family. He had been working in the Lin family since a long time ago and had been working diligently until now.
"He has to face what he has to face. Even if I can take care of him, I can only take care of him for a while. In the future, he still needs to walk his own path.”
As if the old butler's words had reminded him of some past events, Xiao Potian's eyes also flashed with a blurred look.
"But Second Young Master has suffered a loss this time. He will definitely bring people to take revenge. At that time, Little Young Master might…"
The old butler deliberately did not say the rest of his words, but Phil definitely understood what he meant. He sighed softly and continued.
"Jade cannot be made into a tool if it is not cut. Although Third Brother's spirit has no potential, his soul is unusually pure, so his cultivation speed is extraordinary. However, this way, the road ahead will definitely become narrower and narrower. However, if that disappointing Second Brother were to stimulate him a few more times, it was very likely that he would be motivated to continue walking. Anyway, with the clan rules here, he was not afraid of Second Brother making any big moves.”
Xiao Potian twirled the quill in his hand a few times and looked at the scenery outside the window. The grass under the big tree was weak, but the grass in the pile of stones, under the pressure of the heavy stones, drilled out from the cracks of the stones and grew more vigorously.
"It is still Master who has considered it thoroughly.”
The old butler's wrinkled old face relaxed slightly, revealing a warm smile. Looking at the door that had just been closed by Xiao Chen, he sent his blessings in his heart.
