In the hall of the General Manor.
At this moment, there were two burly men standing respectfully in the hall. Above them was an old man who was frowning slightly as he looked at the two of them.
The old man was called Xiahou Xingguo, the two burly men were called Xiahou Ying and Xiahou Zhi, and the young girl was called Xiahou Xiaonan. The three of them were the old man's grandchildren.
Although Xiahou Xingguo no longer cared about the court, his position in the entire Yunsheng Empire was unshakable. Xiahou Xiaonan, as the only daughter of the Xiahou family for three generations, naturally received incomparable love.
However, Xiahou Xingguo had never expected that the two of them would end up like this when they went out to find Xiahou Xiaonan.
"Are you saying that Xiao Nan was detained by the shop owner, and the two of you were stripped clean by him?”Xiahou Xingguo frowned and asked.
"That's right, Grandpa. That shop owner is too hateful. The two of us accidentally stepped on his doorstep and actually stripped us naked. I don't know if Little Sister is safe inside.”Xiahou Ying said angrily.
Xiahou Xingguo frowned. To be able to strip off his grandson's clothes so easily without hurting the two of them, he must be at least a Martial Emperor.
"There's actually a Martial Emperor hiding in a small shop. What is he trying to do?”Xiahou Xingguo couldn't figure it out, and the other two couldn't figure it out either.
"Grandpa, what should we do now? Do you want me to mobilize my men to flatten that lousy shop?”Xiahou Zhi asked.
"Oh? Stomp the other party flat? Let me ask the two of you, what will you do if someone steps on the threshold of Xiahou House?”
"Of course we'll kill that person. He's looking down on House Xiahou.”
"Hmph, then you still have the face to say it? The two of you have trampled on the other party's threshold. You are already lucky that they didn't kill you. How dare you be arrogant here?”Xiahou Xingguo asked in disappointment.
He, Xiahou Xingguo, had been a soldier all his life, and he was a god-like soldier. However, his descendants were all stupider than the last. This was also why the current Great General was the Zhang family. It was because his family was too useless.
This was especially true for his grandson's generation. Although there were three males, the eldest was a cultivation maniac and did not leave his house every day. The second and third were the two people in front of him, and they were even more useless.
Because of this, when Xiahou Xiaonan was born, Xiahou Xingguo loved her very much, especially when he found out that Xiahou Xiaonan was very smart. He treated her as the apple of his eye.
Hearing Xiahou Xingguo's words, the two of them lowered their heads. They were very famous in the entire imperial capital. Coupled with their burly figures and powerful realms, others would have to retreat when they saw them.
Who would have thought that the two of them, who were used to being arrogant and domineering, would be humiliated like this today? Naturally, they were unhappy and only thought about how to take revenge.
"Humph, the two of you will bring Nan Nan back tomorrow. If she causes any more trouble, you will be in for it.”With that, Xiahou Xingguo left the two of them behind.
"Second brother, what should we do now?”
"What else can we do? We can only do as grandpa says. If he still doesn't hand over little sister tomorrow, we'll call big brother out. I don't believe that old man can still be big brother's match.”
Xiahou Zhi nodded. This seemed to be the only way now.
In Chu He's Little Store.
"You can stay here tonight. You can choose any room you want. Tomorrow, when your two brothers bring the money to repair the threshold, you can leave.”Chu He looked at Xiahou Xiaonan and said.
"What? Boss, can you not let them take me away?”Xiahou Xiaonan's expression changed as she looked at Chu He pitifully.
"Give me a reason." Chu He asked as he smoked.
"I, I don't want to go back. I ran out secretly. If I go back, I won't have the chance to come out in the future.”
"So…what does it have to do with me?" Chu He was speechless. He didn't care if the other party ran away from home, but he didn't have to keep the other party. He wasn't a charity.
" I, I…" Xiahou Xiaonan thought for a while. It seemed that there was nothing to do with the other party. He could only pout and look unhappy.
"Alright, Old Du, arrange a room for her. We'll talk about it tomorrow.”Chu He waved his hand because he felt that he was about to break through.
Du Changyun nodded and then pulled Xiahou Xiaonan out of the room.
"Boom…"
Just as the two of them left, the spiritual energy in Chu He's body also surged. In the blink of an eye, his cultivation technique rose to the Second Stage Martial Master Realm.
"You've improved quite quickly, but now that you're already a Martial Master, it's impossible for you to break through quickly. Just refining the spiritual energy in the wine will take some time.”Thinking of this, Chu He took a sip of Taibai wine.
Although it wasn't the first time he drank Taibai wine, Chu He realized that he was also a little obsessed with this taste. The system's products were indeed extraordinary.
"I can take my time to improve my cultivation level. I can try to draw a lottery now. I wonder what I can get.”Then, Chu He circulated his cultivation technique to refine the spiritual energy in his body. At the same time, he opened the system's lottery page.
