589: Chapter 589 The Excited Members of the Xie Family

After the Xu Family steward left, the Xie Family Cultivators immediately erupted into chaos.

"Arrogant! Truly too arrogant!"

"Indeed! Just a mere Family steward, yet so incredibly brazen!"

"Although our Xie Family cannot compare to the Xu Family, we are still a first-rate Family in the Central Region! To dare to disregard us like that!"

...

Xie Zhisong's expression turned ugly. He said in a deep voice, "Quiet!"

All the Xie Family Cultivators in the Council Hall immediately shut their mouths.

"You didn't seem this worked up when he was here, and now that he's gone, what is there to talk about!"

"What you should be doing is properly improving your cultivation; otherwise, in the future... these kinds of things will keep happening!"

"And with so many cultivation resources in the Family, the fact that you all cannot make a Breakthrough to the Tribulation Crossing Realm is truly disappointing to me!"

Xie Zhisong looked at his descendants in the hall and sighed slightly.

His Lifespan was already running low. If he were to pass away in the future, what would become of the Xie Family?

Without a Cultivator in the Tribulation Crossing Realm to hold the fort, the Xie Family would certainly not be able to maintain its status as a first-rate Family and might even be carved up by other first-rate Families, or perhaps even fall to the level of a second or third-rate Family.

"Old Ancestor, we have been taught! It's just that our Aptitude is truly insufficient! We are willing but lack the strength!"

"Yes, reaching the Enlightenment Realm is already our limit!"

"Just making a small Breakthrough within the Enlightenment Realm has taken us nearly a thousand years, and it's been hard to progress further! As for the Tribulation Crossing Realm, it is even more out of reach for us!"

The Xie Family Clan Chief and the Elders lowered their heads, saying helplessly.

How could they not want to make a Breakthrough to the Tribulation Crossing Realm?

Unfortunately, not one of them could succeed!

"Forget it, you are right; this is not your fault!" Xie Zhisong's expression was desolate as he muttered, "Perhaps our Xie Family is destined to continue its decline!"

After a moment of silence in the Council Hall, the Xie Family Clan Chief stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said:

"Old Ancestor! Should we attend the appointment at the Xu Family in three days? And also..."

Hearing this, a look of doubt flashed across Xie Zhisong's face, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest of his throne.

Their Xie Family and the Xu Family were actually not familiar with each other at all; why would they invite the Xie Family for no reason? To discuss the situation in the Central Region?

That kind of talk might fool the younger generation of Cultivators, but he didn't believe a word of it!

"And what else? If you have something to say, just say it!"

"Very well, Old Ancestor!" The Xie Family Clan Chief nodded and said directly, "I heard... a few days ago, this Xu Family steward also went to the Duan Family, the Chen Family, the Zhou Family..."

"At first, after I heard this news, I didn't understand the purpose of that Xu Family steward, but now it seems that they were likely invited to discuss matters at the Xu Family as well!"

"Hmm? Is that so? Several of these Families are bottom-tier first-rate Families just like our Xie Family, and the rest are second-rate Families." Xie Zhisong fell into deep thought.

The Xu Family invited so many Families; could it really be to discuss the situation in the Central Region?

After thinking for a moment, he finally made up his mind and gave the order:

"Forget it, we will know once we go and see... You all go and make preparations. In three days, we will honor the appointment and go to the Xu Family!"

If it were in the past, their Xie Family could have easily ignored the Xu Family's invitation.

But times were different now; the current Xie Family was no longer the Xie Family of the past!

Just then, a streak of light flew in from the distance, followed by the sound of rapid footsteps.

A burly Xie Family clansman hurried into the Council Hall.

"Old Ancestor, the Young Miss has returned! She has just entered the Family grounds."

"What? Laner has returned!" Xie Zhisong's face showed a trace of joy, and he stroked his beard excitedly. "Then please invite her over quickly!"

"The Young Miss returned together with a young man! The two of them were also very intimate." The burly clansman hesitated for a moment before continuing.

"The Young Miss has found a Dao Companion?"

"Why didn't she tell us!"

"Indeed, the Young Miss is the future of our Xie Family; not just anyone is worthy of her!"

...

Several Elders heard this and voiced their objections.

"A young man?" Xie Zhisong's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he hurriedly asked, "What does that young man look like?"

"He looks very handsome..." The burly clansman briefly described the young man's appearance.

"This appearance? Could that young man be the Taixuan Holy Master, Su Yun?"

"Laner is quite impressive! She really has become the Dao Companion of the Taixuan Holy Master!" Xie Zhisong slapped the armrest, saying with some excitement.

A year ago, he had the intention of making Su Yun the fiancé of Laner.

It wasn't just because Laner had a good impression of Su Yun, but also because Su Yun was a Prodigy with powerful strength.

That was why when Yimu Valley came to ask for the Young Valley Master to be betrothed to Laner, he hadn't agreed immediately.

In his view, what was a Hidden Sect? Su Yun was the most impressive one, possessing the potential for Immortal Ascension!

"The Taixuan Holy Master, Su Yun? Is it true? A while ago, I heard that the Taixuan Holy Master took action and killed a Yimu Valley Elder, and even Yimu Valley admitted defeat and didn't dare to retaliate!"

"Hiss... The Young Miss is too powerful!"

"If the Young Miss really becomes the Dao Companion of the Taixuan Holy Master, wouldn't our Xie Family have a great backer in the future and take off directly? This is so great!"

...

The Elders instantly lost their objections, all beaming with joy and discussing it with great excitement.

"Enough! You cannot say these things in front of Holy Lord Su, do you understand?" Xie Zhisong said with a serious tone, waving his hand.

It was hard enough for Su Yun to come to their Xie Family, so they couldn't leave a bad impression on him.

"We understand, Old Ancestor!"

The Elders all shut their mouths.

Xie Zhisong hurriedly stood up and waved his hand: "Go! We are going to welcome Holy Lord Su!"

Immediately, he flashed to the entrance of the Council Hall and hurried outside. The other Xie Family Cultivators also moved one after another, following him with great excitement.

Soon, the group of Xie Family Cultivators saw two figures walking from afar.

"They are here, they are here! We must have a good attitude!"

"You are right!"

The Xie Family Cultivators, whether they liked to smile or not, all put on bright smiles and greeted them warmly.

...

"Junior Brother Yun~ Our Xie Family... is not bad, right!" Xie Yulan said with a smile.

Su Yun held her slender waist and said without hesitation: "Very nice, the scenery is very good."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look around again.

Just now, under the guidance of Senior Sister Yulan, Su Yun had roughly looked at the outer areas of the Xie Family Ancestral Land.

How should he put it? The scene inside the Xie Family Ancestral Land was a bit like Yimu Valley; after all, the Xie Family members were basically Cultivators with Wood Spiritual Roots or wood-attribute Physiques.

However, it was only a little bit similar. Although there were many Spiritual Plants, compared to Yimu Valley where there were spirit trees everywhere, the Spiritual Plants planted by the Xie Family were basically Spirit Medicine like spiritual flowers.
