Chapter 25: Jade Garden Peak

  "Uncle, you're late. If you were a step earlier, you would have seen us competing." Xia Xiao Liang was so angry that her teeth itched. Would she die if she appeared a little earlier? She had to wait until the excitement was over before appearing. If not for her extraordinary talent, today's show would be difficult to watch.

  Xia Yu ignored Xia Xiao Liang's cold and mocking gaze, he was also curious about the results of Xia Xiao Liang's half-year retreat, didn't expect the achievement to be so outstanding, he was very satisfied.

  "Xiao Liang performed very well and deserves praise." Xia Yu nodded in agreement.

  "Uncle, since that's the case, then give me some material rewards!" Xia Xiao Liang didn't hold back either, stretching out her small hand and looking up at Xia Yu, expecting him to give her some emotional comfort.

  Xia Yu blinked, stunned for a moment, before rummaging through her own pockets. She couldn't bear to part with one item, yet couldn't bear to part with another either. In the end, she pulled out a beautiful flying sword and handed it to Xia Xiao Liang, saying: "This flying sword has no other functions except for its speed, but when it flies, it will have a five-colored glow, which is extremely beautiful."

  Xia Xiaoleng took over this beautiful flying sword, a bit speechless. Her aesthetics had been severely impacted: the hilt was engraved with a bow tie, painted pink, and the rest of the hilt was coated in sky blue, only the blade itself was normally colored, otherwise Xia Xiaoleng would have directly abandoned this sword.

  With a look of reluctance, Xia XiaoLiang held up the sword in her hand with an expressionless face.

  Just now when Xia Yu handed her this sword, she carefully observed the expressions of several You, all of whom were in a state of incredulity. What happened? Could it be that there's something fishy about this sword? Thus, Xia Xiao Liang prepared to take some time off to privately ask Xia Ming Chuan what was going on.

  Later, when Xia Xiao Liang asked about this matter, Xia Ming Chuan pretended to be mysterious and said: "My adoptive father is stingy, no one has ever gotten anything from him, you are the first...". Only then did Xia Xiao Liang suddenly understand.

  Although Xia Yu appeared very calm, he was actually in a lot of pain for a long time. His face drooped, as if someone owed him several roasted fish. Xia Yu smacked his lips and occasionally glanced at the flying sword in Xia Xiao Liang's hand, saying: "We're all ready, let's set off."

  Xiao Long, Yan Wang and Qiao Xin all nodded in agreement, but Xia Mingchuan stood still, his eyes fixed on Xia Tian.

  "Is she going too?" Xia Mingchuan's face sank, and Xia Xiaoleng felt a chill beside him, subconsciously retreating two steps back and falling into Qiao Xin's arms.

  Xia Yu's expression wasn't very good. First, he was lectured by Xia Xiao Liang, and now Xia Ming Chuan was questioning him in such a manner without showing any respect. He sank his face and said: "Leave!"

  "She's gone, and Xiaoleng and I won't go either." Xia Mingchuan was really stubborn, once he made up his mind about something, he had to see it through, otherwise he would rather die than turn back.

  Xia Yu had no choice but to drag Xia Mingchuan into the cave by the back of his neck, muttering for a long time before coming out, and by this time Xia Mingchuan had already agreed to let Xia Tian come along.

  Although everyone was curious about what Xia Yu and Xia Mingjiang said, they were all able to suppress their inner gossip. When they arrived at Yuyuan Peak, they still couldn't find an opportunity to talk to Xia Mingjiang. With this in mind, everyone set off on the road.

  Xia Yu led Xia Tian, who had no cultivation, while Xia Ming guarded Xia Xiao Liang's side. The other three formed their own arrays and followed behind Xia Yu as they took to the skies!

  Xia Xiaoliang flew even more recklessly with Xia Mingchuan's protection, stepping on the flying sword and playing happily. But this nearly exhausted Xia Mingchuan, who was worried that she might lose control and fall off; normally a relaxed flyer, he had broken out in a cold sweat and was extremely fatigued.

  Three hours later, several colorful figures appeared on the towering Jade Garden Peak.

  Xia Yu took Xia Tian to chat with the clan leaders who had already arrived at the dojo, while the remaining five demons stood there in a daze, unsure of where to go for a while.

  "Now where are we going? Father is really unreliable, he actually left us and ran away by himself." Xia Xiao Liang said with disdain as she looked at the distant figure of Xia Yu.

  "Go find a place to rest! Each pavilion has a sign, just look for it one by one." Qiao Xun shrugged, with an air of being used to it, apparently Xia Yu had done such unreliable things too many times.

  As for how Qiao Xing knew all this, she had done her homework before coming. She found some seniors to understand the situation on Yu Yuan Peak, in case of unexpected needs, and unexpectedly used it today.

  Alright, since Qiao Xin said so, everyone followed her to find the temple with the Hanging Cat Tribe's sign.

  Fortunately, the Cat Clan's temple was still in the same place as last time. Qiao Xin let out a long sigh of relief after finding it, glad that she had found it, otherwise, if she had to lead everyone around searching for it, they would have lost face.

  "The main hall is left for the clan leader, Xia Xiaoliang and Xia Mingchuan you two live in the east wing, I and Yan Wang Xiaolong live in the west wing." Qiao Xinyu commanded as if she were a big sister, while the oldest Xiaolong had a lazy expression, with Qiao Xinyu around, he could save a lot of trouble.

  "Thank you, Sister Xinxin." Xia Xiao Liang gave her a sweet smile and then headed to the East Wing with Xia Ming Chuan. Qiao Xin's intention was clear to both Xia Xiao Liang and Xia Ming Chuan - it was just so that Xia Ming Chuan could take better care of her.

  "Xiao Liang, you've just learned to fly and flew so far, are you tired? I'll go make some roasted fish for you to eat." Xia Mingchuan said as he led Xia Xiao Liang into the palace.

  Xia Xiaoliang shook her head, and her ears also flapped loudly, saying: "Not tired, today flew very happily, I like flying."

  That's right, your five elements aura is born to make you suffer, not only will it drag you down, but also has a protective cover to prevent wind blows. Such treatment, do other demons have?

  "Brother He, I don't want to eat anything. Let's settle down first and then go somewhere else to have a look, it's not easy to come out once, we must have fun." Xia Xiao Liang stretched out two fingers to pull at the corner of Xia Ming Chuan's clothes and coquettishly said.

  Xia Mingchuan was completely defenseless against Xia Xiaoliang's coquetry and nodded repeatedly: "Good!"

  As she walked into the side hall, Xia Xiao Liang was somewhat surprised and couldn't close her mouth. This is that beautiful temple! Too beautiful! Although the side hall wasn't very big, everything was complete.

  As soon as you enter, there is a beautiful four-screen screen, behind which is placed a round table. Under the table are arranged four exquisite stools, and the wood of the table is very thick and solid. On both sides are placed red sandalwood chairs, sitting on which feels particularly elegant. In the middle is placed a long table, on top of which is placed a pair of red-painted flower vases, inside which is inserted a bunch of peonies.

  Walking to the right of the hall, a bamboo curtain hangs down to the ground, half covering and half revealing what's behind. There is a wooden bed with thick mattresses and two thin quilts on it. On both sides of the bed stand a pair of large flower vases as tall as a person, with carvings of hundred sons patterns. At the head of the bed, there is a dressing table and a copper mirror, a standard boudoir for a lady.

  The dresser is right in front of a window, through which the outside scenery can be seen, including an ancient tree that is about a thousand years old.

  At the foot of the bed is a wall with a clothes rack and a double-door wardrobe, on top of which hangs a small lock and two keys.
