Chapter 10, Jade Serpent 3, Flower Eyes! Copy!
Silent all night.
The next morning, Xiao Chen sat up in bed.
Xiao Chen stretched his neck and opened the system panel.
[Daily copy opportunity has been refreshed. Do you want to copy now?]
"Copy it now," Xiao Chen thought to himself.
[Target selection for copying is in progress...]
[Target for copying: Azure Scale.]
[Copy successful.]
[Congratulations, host, on obtaining the Azure Scale Serpent Three-Flower Pupil.]
The moment the system notification sound ended, Xiao Chen felt a warm sensation in his eyes.
The feeling was strange, as if something was flowing in Xiao Chen's eyes.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes, and then opened them after a while.
The world had changed in Xiao Chen's eyes.
He could see the fighting spirit flowing in the air and the life force emanating from the trees in the distance.
The Azure Serpent with Three-Flower Pupils can control serpentine magical beasts and even pull the soul of its opponent into an illusion.
Xiao Chen's lips curled up slightly; he was very satisfied with this reward.
Just as Xiao Chen was about to get up, he heard footsteps outside the door.
"Brother Xiao Chen, are you there?" Xiao Xun'er's voice came from outside the door.
Xiao Chen walked to the door and opened it.
Xiao Xun'er was wearing a light blue dress, her long hair was draped behind her, and she had a faint smile on her face.
"Xun'er? So early?" Xiao Chen asked.
"I want to go to the market to buy some pills. Brother Xiao Chen, will you come with me?" Xiao Xun'er said.
Xiao Chen thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay."
Xiao Chen also wanted to go to the market to see if he could find anything useful.
The two then walked out of the Xiao family's gate together.
In the main hall of the Jialie family, Jialiebi sat in the head seat, his face gloomy.
Jia Liebi didn't sleep all night.
Galeo went out yesterday and hasn't come back. The people sent out to look for him haven't heard anything yet.
"Clan leader, you don't need to worry. The young master probably just stayed out all night because he was having fun," an elder said.
"Yes, clan leader, it's normal for the young master to be young and impetuous and spend the night out playing around," another elder said.
Galebi shook his head. "No, even if Aure stays out overnight, she'll send someone back to let you know."
The elders exchanged glances, but remained silent.
“Aur has never acted like this before.” Galebi stood up and paced back and forth in the hall. “Something must have happened.”
"Clan leader, you're overthinking it," the First Elder said. "Who in Wutan City would dare to harm anyone from the Jialie family?"
Jialiebi stopped and looked at the Grand Elder.
The elder is right. Although the Jialie family is not the strongest in Wutan City, no one dares to offend them easily. Who would dare to touch his son?
Just as Galebi was about to speak, a flurry of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
A guard stumbled in and fell to his knees with a thud.
"Chief! Something's happened!" The guard's voice trembled.
Jia Liebi's expression changed. "What is it?"
"Young Master...Young Master he..." The guard stammered, not daring to continue.
"What's wrong, young master?" Galebi shouted.
"Young Master has been murdered!" the guard said, forcing himself to speak.
The hall fell silent instantly. The elders looked at each other, their faces filled with shock.
Jialiebi stood there, stunned, as if he had been struck by lightning.
"What did you say?" Galebi's voice trembled.
"Young Master was murdered, and his body was... was..." The guard couldn't finish his sentence.
"What else?" Galebi stepped forward and grabbed the guard by the collar.
"And it was eaten by wild dogs." The guard closed his eyes and blurted it out in one breath.
Galeb released the guard and took two steps back.
Jialiebi's face went from pale to ashen, and then from ashen to deathly pale.
"Who?" Galebi gritted his teeth. "Who did it?"
"Xiao Chen, the grandson of the Xiao family's eldest elder," the guard said.
Upon hearing this, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Jialiebi's eyes.
The Xiao family, Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Chen?" Jia Liebi muttered to himself, "That good-for-nothing with only three levels of Dou Qi?"
"Yes," the guard replied.
"A piece of trash could kill Or?" Galebi roared. "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Chief, it's absolutely true," the guard said. "The young master's mercenaries saw it with their own eyes. That Xiao Chen killed the young master with a single palm strike, and then kicked the body to the roadside to feed the dogs."
Galebi closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
When Galebi opened his eyes again, they were filled with murderous intent.
"Xiao Chen," Jialiebi said through gritted teeth, "I want you to be buried with Ao'er."
"Clan leader, the Xiao family will not easily hand over people," the First Elder said.
"Not going to pay?" Galebi said coldly. "Then I'll go and ask for it myself."
Galebi turned around and looked at the elders in the hall.
"Gather your men, come with me to the Xiao family."
"Clan leader, please reconsider," the second elder said. "Although the Xiao family is not as powerful as our Jialie family, they still have some strength. If things escalate..."
"Make a scene?" Jia Liebi interrupted the Second Elder. "My son has been murdered, do you think I'm afraid of making a scene?"
Seeing this, the elders knew they couldn't persuade them otherwise.
"Go and gather the men," Galebi said.
"Yes." An elder turned and left the hall.
Galebi stood in the center of the hall, his fists clenched.
Xiao Chen, no matter who you are or what your background is, you must die if you kill my son.
In the main hall of the Xiao family, several elders were sitting together discussing matters.
Xiao Zhan sat in the main seat, his expression calm.
"Clan leader, yesterday Xiao Chen went to the Mittel Auction House and was invited as a guest by Ya Fei," the second elder said.
"I understand about this," Xiao Zhan said.
"Why did Ya Fei invite Xiao Chen?" the Third Elder asked. "He's just a useless third-stage Dou Qi cultivator..."
"Enough." The First Elder interrupted the Third Elder, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
Seeing this, the Third Elder shut his mouth.
A disciple of the Xiao family ran in from outside.
"Clan leader, something has happened," the disciple said.
"What is it?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"Young Master Xiao Chen killed Jia Lie'ao, the young master of the Jia Lie family, yesterday," the disciple said.
The hall fell silent instantly, and the elders were all stunned.
"What did you say?" The elder suddenly stood up.
"Young Master Xiao Chen killed Galeo," the disciple said.
"How is that possible?" the Second Elder exclaimed. "Xiao Chen is only at the third level of Dou Qi, while Galeo is a Dou Zhe. How could he possibly kill Galeo?"
"It's absolutely true," the disciple said. "The Galie family has confirmed it; Galie's body was eaten by wild dogs."
The elders in the hall looked at each other, their faces filled with shock.
Xiao Zhan sat in the main seat, his brows furrowed.
Xiao Chen, with only three levels of Dou Qi, killed a Dou Zhe? How is that possible?
"Is the information reliable?" Xiao Zhan asked.
"Reliable," the disciple said. "It's already spread among the Jialie family. Jialiebi is furious and says he's coming to the Xiao family to demand people back."
The First Elder's face darkened. "Jialebi is coming to the Xiao family to demand someone."
"He's coming to the Xiao family again?" the First Elder said. "What does his son's death have to do with our Xiao family?"
"Jialebi said that Young Master Xiao Chen killed the man and demanded that our Xiao family hand over Young Master Xiao Chen," the disciple said.
Just as the elder was about to speak, a burst of cursing suddenly came from outside.
"Everyone from the Xiao family, get out here!"
The sound was very loud; the entire Xiao family could hear it.
The elders' expressions changed simultaneously.
"They've arrived," the Second Elder said.
Xiao Zhan stood up, his face grim.
"Let's go out and take a look."
Several elders followed Xiao Zhan as they walked out of the hall.
Outside the Xiao family's gate, Jia Liebi and dozens of men completely blocked the entrance.
Jialiebi stood at the front, his face ashen and his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Xiao Zhan, you come out here!"
