12 Guests from Xiao Sect

In the next few days, the guests from the Xiao Sect were about to arrive, so the Xiao Clan was making all sorts of preparations to receive the youngest son of the sect master of the Xiao Sect.

However, it was surprising that just a day before the arrival of the youngest son of the sect master of the Xiao Sect, Xiao Lingxi suddenly went missing during the night time.

The one who found out about this was naturally Xiao Lie. He had come to console her since he thought that she would be very depressed, considering that her nephew had gone missing.

However, he was shocked when he couldn't find her in her room. He was quite anxious as he knew that his grandson and his daughter were quite close. The fact that she had gone missing after her nephew meant that she could be trying to do something foolish.

But at that time, he noticed a strange sheet of paper on Xiao Lingxi's bed.

"Don't worry about your daughter. She will return unharmed after the guests from the Xiao Sect leaves. Don't mention this to anyone or else I will kill her!"

Xiao Lie's hands trembled when he read the last line. He felt that his daughter was in grave danger. And he couldn't even search for her! If he did… She would be killed!

At that moment, he turned the paper and saw a few words written on the other side as well.

"As for the excuse of why she isn't in the Xiao Clan, just tell everyone that you have sent her to the New Moon City along with Xia Yuanba to cultivate in the New Moon Profound Palace. They should buy this explanation. And once again, do not worry about your daughter. As long as you don't try to search for her, she will remain unharmed."

These words somewhat relieved Xiao Lie. But still, he was unable to remove the anxiousness within his heart. All he could do was trust this mysterious person who had captured his daughter.

This person had even given an excuse and seemed to be aware of the fact that Xia Yuanba had left for the New Moon City today.

'He must have a lot of contacts… I should really not try to search for Lingxi otherwise, if he finds out, he might really kill her and get away.'

Xiao Lie clenched his fists as he hated this kind of feeling. This feeling of helplessness. But there really was nothing he could do than wait.

The next day…The guests from the Xiao Sect arrived.

All the clan members were asked to receive the guests from the Xiao Sect. When they noticed that Xiao Lingxi wasn't present, some of them asked Xiao Lie.

They even said how his descendants seemed to be disappearing and were making fun of him. First, it was Xiao Che, and now it was Xiao Lingxi.

Xiao Lie prayed in his heart and trusted the words written on that page. He gave the excuse stated on that paper and hoped it worked.

It really did work.

Nobody paid it too much of attention since that girl was just at the 6th Level of the Elementary Profound Realm. And there was no way the guests from the Xiao Sect would choose to take her to the Xiao Sect.

It was Xiao Kuangyun who had arrived. He was a perverted good for nothing who had a lot of arrogance because of his status.

He gifted the Profound Opening Powder to the Xiao Clan.

Xiao Yulong was incredibly witty and knew exactly what to do. He took Xiao Kuangyun to the best brothels in the Floating Cloud City and let Xiao Kuangyun enjoy a lot.

Xiao Kuangyun had a good impression of Xiao Yulong and decided to take him to the Xiao Sect with him.

Meanwhile, in the mountains, which was quite some distance away from the Xiao Clan, a young woman wearing green clothes, opened her eyes.

It had nearly been one whole day since Yang Tian had 'kidnapped' her.

She was sleeping in a comfortable bed. After she woke up and looked around, she realised that she was in some unfamiliar place.

This place was also quite small. This shed was made out of wood. And the soft mattress on which she was sleeping was something that had been bought from the Floating Cloud City's market.

"Where am I?" She wondered with a blank look as she didn't remember anything.

She was about to walk out of the small shed when suddenly the door opened, and she looked at a handsome red-haired man. His face was so attractive that Xiao Lingxi could say with complete confidence that he was the most handsome man she had ever seen…

She didn't even realise that she was blankly staring at him.

Yang Tian noticed that Xiao Lingxi had regained consciousness.

"Looks like you are finally awake. I guess I hit you harder than I thought." He said with a somewhat indifferent look on his face.

It took a couple of seconds for his words to register in Xiao Lingxi's mind before she asked, "Where am I?"

"You are in the mountains neighbouring the Xiao Clan's mountains. I have brought you here and will keep you here until the guests from the Xiao Sect leave." Yang Tian's words were spoken with a neutral look on his face.

"Oh no! My father must be worried sick about me! I must return as soon as possible!" Xiao Lingxi immediately remembered that her father will be worried about her.

"No. You won't return right now. I promise to let you return but not today. Also, don't worry about your father, I have already informed him that you are safe." Yang Tian said quite calmly…

"Ohh, alright…My name is Xiao Lingxi, and you?"

"I am Yang Tian. It's nice to meet you." He said, giving her a brilliant smile.
