Ye Xiao soon walked out of the library with Hao Lin and Qi Xuan and arrived outside the Qi Family.
There, he saw many elders of the Hao Family standing, waiting for him to come back.
“Lin!”
The Third Elder was very excited to see his son. He wanted to walk to his son immediately but was stopped by Grand Elder Hao Lufan.
“Father, you are here!”
Hao Lin glanced at the Third Elder and immediately become excited.
“We are here to negotiate!”
The Third person said as he looked at Ye Xiao. .
Ye Xiao was surprised when he heard this. He did not expect the Hao Family to want to negotiate with him.
At first, he thought that the Hao Family will provoke him and try to kill him no matter what. They might even dispatch the 500 Death Soldiers to kill him. He never expected Hao Family to negotiate.
It seems that the Hao Family is not completely filled with fools who only want to fight and kill.
“And how do you want to negotiate?” Ye Xiao asked while looking at the Grand Elder Hao Lufan. It is because he could tell that this old man was a Chaos Spirit Realm warrior.
Grand Elder first observed Ye Xiao for a while and then waved his hand, and the people behind him immediately offered a large number of precious gifts.
Ye Xiao took a look and was also a little surprised. The Hao family was indeed worthy of being a huge family. They were really magnanimous. They had offered all kinds of precious items at once. Some items were beneficial even to the current him. It really seems that the Hao Family was very sincere.
At this time, the Grand Elder also took out a very small bottle. There seemed to be a single drop of translucent liquid inside.
Hao Lufan said, “This is a drop of Origin Sea Water. This is a very precious treasure. It could not only expand the Chaos Divine Sea of a martial warrior and increase the purity of Chaos Energy, but it could also increase the probability of a Chaos Dust Realm warrior breaking through to the Chaos Spirit Realm. But this is not the end. There are also a few other benefits of this treasure. I offer you this precious treasure along with other treasures.”
Ye Xiao nodded his head in surprise but did not take the drop of Origin Sea Water. He knew since the Hao Family was offering him so much, they must want more than just Hao Lin from him.
When Ye Xiao thought about it, he immediately came to a realization. He suddenly understood that the Hao Family must want to take back the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda. Although damaged, this was a Heavenly Soul Treasure after all.
Although he could guess, Ye Xiao still asked, “And what do you want in return!”
Hao Lufan raised his eyes. He did not expect Ye Xiao to be so straightforward. But at the same time, he also understood Ye Xiao’s character.
He immediately said, “I want you to release Hao Lin and give us the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda back. Since you have been in possession of Mountain Suppressing Pagoda, you should already know that this treasure is damaged. You might not value this treasure much, however, this treasure is something left behind by our ancestors. It means a lot to my Hao Family. And, this treasure is also a trump card of our family. We can not afford to lose it.”
“Hmm?” Ye Xiao frowned and fell into deep thought. Although Hao Lufan might sound very honest, Ye Xiao could feel that his intention behind asking for the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda was not as simple as bringing the treasure left behind by their ancestor back to their family. It seems the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda is hiding some secret that Hao Lufan does not want anyone to find out about.
But it doesn’t matter. He was not after the secret hidden in the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda anyway.
And just as Hao Lufan said, although it is a Heavenly Soul Treasure, it does not hold much value because this pagoda is damaged.
“I’ve heard many things about the Hao Family. I originally planned to make a trip to the Hao family. Actually, Brother Hao and I can be considered to have become acquainted after a fight.”
Ye Xiao smiled and accepted the gift openly. Since the Hao Family wanted to make peace, Ye Xiao naturally would not be aggressive.
The Third Elder was overjoyed. Now that Ye Xiao has accepted their gifts, it also means their negotiation succeeded.
“I’ve long wanted to see the glory of a family like the Hao Family that has given birth to two Chaos Spirit Realm warriors. Although one has disappeared for a mysterious reason, the second one is still here.”
Ye Xiao spoke with a smile as he gestured for Hao Lin to go back to his family.
Hao Lin happily returned to his father’s side. He finally took a deep breath of relief. In the past few days, although Ye Xiao did him no harm, he was still terrified because he had to stay in the presence of Ye Xiao always.
Hao Lufan maintained his smile the entire time, as if they were old friends meeting. He did not mention the matter of the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda again. He waited for Ye Xiao to give him the pagoda back by himself. But Ye Xiao did not do that.
“Fang Da, Phantom, let’s go to Crystal City to take a look.”
Ye Xiao immediately made his decision after thinking of something. Then he looked at Hao Lufan and spoke, “Why don’t we do this? Bring us to the Crystal City with you. When we go there, I’ll give you the Mountain Suppressing Pagoda back.”
Hao Lufan again took a deep look at Ye Xiao. Then he sighed and spoke, “Since Young Master Ye wants to come with us to the Crystal City, we will be very happy to bring you with us.”
Ye Xiao nodded with a smile and then informed Qi Xuan properly. Then, he led Fang Da, and Phantoom to follow the Hao Family and flew towards Crystal City.
…..
The speed of the flying ship was very fast. After just three days of journey, Ye Xiao could already see a huge city in front of him. Those tall city walls emitted traces of an ancient and powerful aura.
Clearly, the city walls seemed to have been reinforced with some array formations.
This was Crystal City, the largest city among the dozens of surrounding cities.
Soon, the flying ship slowly landed. The Grand Elder leaned a group and came in front of Ye Xiao’s flying ship as soon as he alighted from his flying ship.
Seeing the door of the flying ship open, Grand Elder said with a smile, “Young Master Ye, since you are already in the Crystal City, I brought you directly to the Hao family. Why don’t you stay in my Hao Family for a few days before going anywhere?”
Ye Xiao nodded his head. No matter what other intention this Hao Lufan might have, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, Ye Xiao’s goal in coming here was to enter the library of the Hao Family and read all the books available there.
Thus, he agreed to go to the Hao Family.
The Hao Family occupied almost a third of the enormous Crystal City. This was enough to show the Hao Family’s status in Crystal City. Originally, Crystal City had developed because of the Hao Family. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Crystal City was the foundation of the Hao Family.
After passing through the layers of corridors and arriving outside the living room, he realized that there were already some old, but vigorous-looking elders waiting to welcome Ye Xiao and the others.
These were all elders of the Hao family and Chaos Dust Realm warriors. There were many of them.
“Excuse us for the lack of a formal welcome. Please come to the living room for a chat.”
Hao Chuan, who was always silent along the way, finally spoke with a smile.
Ye Xiao nodded and walked into the living room with Fang Da and Phantom.
Phantom had shrunk in size and was able to walk around easily inside the Hao Family.
After entering the living room, Hao Chuan gave a smile and said slowly, “Young Master Ye, our Hao Family had some misunderstandings with you previously and even made a fool of ourselves. Although we have already apologized to you, if you have any requests, feel free to ask. The Hao Family is very sincere and will do everything for you if it is in our capability.”
Hence, everyone looked at Ye Xiao. The Hao Family was indeed very sincere. Unless absolutely necessary, they did not want to fight to the death with Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao pondered for a moment. His gaze swept across Hao Chuan and the many elders. He finally nodded and spoke, “I do have a request.”
