Chapter 69 The Patriarch Arrives
When Xiao Lin returned to the mansion, Xiao Huan came up to him and said, "Wang Shao is gone!"

Xiao Lin frowned and asked, "Did he tell me why he worked for the Jiangning Xiao family?"

Xiao Huan shook his head: "I can't find him. He left nothing behind except the letter. But it's not hard to guess that he is from Jiangning. He doesn't work for the Jiangning Xiao family, but instead came to Jinling to join us. It's very likely that he was planted by the Jiangning Xiao family."

"It's not like this!"

Xiao Xin suddenly appeared at the door and heard the conversation between the two.

"He talked to me before he left, and I know why!"

Xiao Lin nodded, "Let's go in and talk! This is not the place to talk."

The three of them came to the inner hall. Xiao Lin sat down and said to Xiao Xian, "Go ahead!"

Xiao Xin said slowly: "Wang Shao told me that he owed a favor to the Jiangning Xiao family. A month ago, Xiao Miao found him and asked him to repay the favor during the Three Xiaos Fighting Competition, and Wang Shao agreed."

"and then?"

"Wang Shao said that he had already repaid the favor during the flag-grabbing event. Two first-level warriors and an archer from the Jiangning Xiao family passed by him, but he did not make a move.

As for the contestants from the Jinling Xiao family and the Jiangdu Xiao family who were defeated by the Jiangning Xiao family using illegal bows and arrows, he also remained silent. As for why the Jiangning Xiao family did not capture the flag in the end, it was not his problem. "

"Why doesn't he continue to repay favors in competitions in the ring?" Xiao Huan asked.

"He said that he didn't owe the Jiangning Xiao family a big favor, and he had already repaid it, but we treated him well, and he wanted to repay us, so he left."

Xiao Lin was a little confused, "Wang Shao left to repay our kindness?"

Xiao Xin nodded. "His barrier-breaking period occurs in the afternoon. This is his biggest secret. As a result, the competition was changed to the morning. If he participates, he will definitely lose. This will harm the Jinling Xiao family. He has no choice but to leave and let the Jinling Xiao family replace him."

Xiao Lin and Xiao Huan looked at each other and realized what was happening. They had wrongly blamed Wang Shao.

Xiao Xin laughed again and said, "Wang Shao also said that Xiao Xia cheated in the flag-grabbing game!"

"Why?" Xiao Lin was puzzled.

"Wang Shao said that he saw Xiao Xia standing in the west until the last moment, when he suddenly ran to the east. At that time, the lot had just been drawn and the flag bearer was leaving. Xiao Xia knew that the red flag would be planted on the east flagpole."

Xiao Lin nodded slowly, "When we were drawing lots, this guy must have been hiding in the woods opposite the big tent and spying."

"It has to be at least three hundred steps away. Can Xiao Xia see it from such a distance?" Xiao Huan asked puzzledly.

Xiao Xin nodded, "I can see it, so he can see it too!"

Xiao Huan said with some worry: "If Xiao Ai goes to the battle, her opponent may very well be Xiao Xia. Xiao Ai may not be his opponent!"

Xiao Lin sneered, "If Xiao Hong can do the first day of the month, we can do the fifteenth day too!"

..........
In the room, Xiao Xia returned the Dan Qi flow into Dantian.

Coincidentally, there was a knock on the door, "Xiao Qilang, open the door quickly!"

It was Xiao Zhurong knocking on the door. Xiao Xia went forward to open the door. Xiao Zhurong grabbed his arm and walked out, "Follow me quickly, the master of the family is here and wants to see you!"

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao Xia broke free from his hand, ran back to pick up the two swords and medicine bag, then ran out and asked, "What's up, Master?"

"Just arrived! He's happy you captured the flag."

Xiao Xia smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that the head of the family might not be happy.

The two came to the back hall and saw the head of the family, Xiao Cong, chatting with Xiao Hu and Xiao Gui.

Xiao Xia hurriedly walked up to the hall and saluted, "Junior greets the head of the family!"

According to the rules, the younger generation of the Xiao family must kneel and kowtow when they see the head of the family, but Xiao Xia is an exception.

Xiao Hu was a little unhappy. "Xiao Qilang, why don't you pay respect to the head of the family when you see him?"

Xiao Cong waved his hands and said with a smile: "I gave you special permission, don't blame him, Lao Er. You all should leave for now. I want to talk to Xiao Qilang alone!"

Everyone stood up and left. Xiao Cong smiled and said, "Congratulations on winning the flag!" Xiao Xia said calmly, "Reporting to the head of the family, because I have the Frost Sword, I must win the flag to get the Frost Sword. If the Second Master did not ask for the Frost Sword as a reward, I would not participate in the competition. The person who wins the flag must be the Jiangning Xiao family."

Xiao Cong smiled and said, "Things in the world are unpredictable. Who can predict it? Zhang Jue said you could capture the flag. I didn't believe it at first. It's only been half a year! How did you do it?"

Xiao Xia pondered for a moment and said, "It was my mother who laid a solid foundation for me since I was a child!"

"I see!"

Xiao Cong nodded, took out a pill from the drawer and placed it on the table, and asked, "Is this also given to you by your mother?"

On the table was the Diamond Pill that Xiao Xia had given to He Zhanmiao. Xiao Xia shook her head and said, "This was given to me by Zhang Jue. I think my mother asked him to give it to me."

"This is the Vajra Pill!" Xiao Cong sighed. It is one of the three greatest physical fitness medicines in the world. It would be great if the Xiao family in Jiangdu could have it.

Xiao Xia suddenly said, "If I get the recipe in the future, I can give a copy to the Xiao family in Jiangdu."

Xiao Cong's eyes lit up, "Are you willing to do that?"

Xiao Xia smiled slightly and said, "I didn't lose anything. It's just a favor. Why would I be reluctant to give it up?"

Xiao Cong was overjoyed and said cheerfully: "Whether it succeeds or not, I will thank you greatly!"

Xiao Xia shook his head. "The master of the family bailed me out of prison. I will always remember this life-saving grace in my heart."

Xiao Cong felt a little sad. This child is a grateful person.

He took a deep breath, calmed his heart, and slowly said to Xiao Xia: "I asked you to come here for two reasons. You will also participate in the competition the day after tomorrow. The specific arrangements will be decided by the Second Master. Is that ok?"

Xiao Xia nodded.

Xiao Cong looked a little embarrassed, and after a while he said, "I am embarrassed to bring up the second thing, but the Xiao Huan Dan recipe in your hand is the original one, so you should return it to me!"

"How did the master know that I was in his hands?"

"You gave Xiao Zhurong the Xiao Huan Dan, and the Xiao Huan Dan was placed together with the formula. Zhang Jue must have given it all to you. In fact, if it wasn't for the fact that it was the original, I wouldn't have mentioned this matter."

Xiao Xia frowned, "Wasn't the original used to replace the lamp with the Xiao family in Jiangning?"

Xiao Cong shook his head. "The one given to the Xiao family in Jiangning was a high-quality imitation. The original was stolen by Liu Erhu. Xiao Zhurong told me about your analysis of the case. You are the smartest kid I have ever met. You should be able to guess what the reason is."

Xiao Xia pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized, "The head of the family actually knew that Liu Erhu wanted to steal the formula, so he put the original one back."

Xiao Cong gave a thumbs up, "You are really smart!"

Xiao Cong sighed again, "This involves the grudges of the previous generation. I must help the Second Master this time. Unfortunately, Zhang Jue hijacked the original. I didn't know it was Zhang Jue at the time, otherwise I would have asked him for the original and the weapon back that day. By the time he found out, I had already successfully deceived the Jiangning Xiao family with a high-quality imitation. It can be seen that there is a will of heaven in the dark!"

"But a mere recipe shouldn't be able to exchange for the Hundred Treasures Glazed Cup!" Xiao Xia laughed again.

Xiao Cong looked at Xiao Xia in disbelief, and sighed for a while, "You are indeed an extraordinary person. I guess you should have guessed it. Then I don't need to hide it from you. It is indeed impossible to change. The Jiangning Xiao family also proposed another condition, that the Jiangdu Xiao family give up the competition in the Three Xiaos Fighting Competition."

"Didn't the Jiangdu Xiao family help the Jiangning Xiao family win the championship?" Xiao Xia asked pointedly.

"no!"

Xiao Cong shook his head decisively, "I can't possibly harm the interests of the Jinling Xiao family. I can only ensure that we give up. As for whether the Jiangning Xiao family can win the championship, they need to rely on their own efforts to defeat the Jinling Xiao family."

Xiao Xia was silent for a moment and said, "The formula is in Jiangdu. It is useless to me. I will give it to the head of the family when I return!"

Xiao Cong smiled and said, "Second Master wanted your sword, but I rejected it outright. Use it well. Maybe you can help the Xiao family in Jiangdu again by the end of the year."

"Thank you, Master!"

Xiao Xia turned around and said goodbye. When he reached the door, he stopped and turned back to ask, "The Baibao Liuli Lamp has been handed over to the princess, right?"

Xiao Cong nodded, "She already got it!"

"Junior, take your leave!"

Xiao Xia turned and left. Xiao Cong was suddenly startled. What did this kid want to do?
