People are fighting, the three-year period has come

Chapter 208: Receiving the wind and washing away the dust
At night, the Xiao family is brightly lit
As the overlord of Wutan City, every move of the Xiao family is naturally eye-catching, so in the afternoon, the news of Xiao Yu's return spread throughout Wutan City.

Upon learning that the imperial legend had returned, people in the city naturally began to talk about this.

Many young people have expressed their desire to meet their idols.

So outside the Xiao family's gate, which was usually quiet and deserted, was now filled with onlookers, but they all stood far away and did not dare to get close.

Almost the entire street was packed. This situation was very similar to the fan meetings of top stars on Earth in the previous life.

Inside the Xiao Family House, Square
At this time, the place was hung with moonstones, illuminating the night. There were hundreds of banquet tables on the square. If the square was not wide enough, it would not be able to accommodate so many tables, chairs and benches.

All the Xiao family members at the banquet were smiling, talking to each other, picking up food and drinking from time to time, and they were having a great time.

In the area where the younger generations of the Xiao family sat, the sound of conversation was even louder.

"Cousin Xiao Yu's return is really a big deal. Look, the family is making such a big fuss."

"That's not right. Who is cousin Xiao Yu? He is a super-powerful man who can fight against the Yunlan Sect. He is also the young patriarch of the family. He must be taken seriously."

"If it weren't for cousin Xiao Yu, the family wouldn't have been able to develop so fast over the years. We have to thank cousin Xiao Yu, otherwise we wouldn't be able to live such a good life now."

"You're right. I consider my cousin Xiao Yu my idol. Unfortunately, I can't see him today."

"What are you thinking about? Cousin Xiao Yu should be with the clan leader and elders right now. You can't just go and see him whenever you want."

"Work hard on your cultivation. Only by standing out from your peers can you be qualified to meet cousin Xiao Yu."

"Haha, back then, I attended the coming-of-age ceremony with the young patriarch. You don't know how charming and elegant the young patriarch was back then. Unfortunately, we are now in two different worlds, and things have changed."

"Cousin Xiao Ji, can you tell us about it? I want to hear about what happened at my cousin Xiao Yu's coming-of-age ceremony."

"Yes, yes, please tell me, cousin Xiao Ji."

"Okay, okay, let me tell you in detail. The scene of the coming-of-age ceremony was like this..."

Compared to this side, the discussions of the young girls of the Xiao family's generation on the other side are even more embarrassing and heart-pounding, so it's better not to talk about them.

Different from these tribesmen, Xiao Yu and his friends held a welcoming banquet in the house.

In the spacious room, there was a huge round table filled with delicious dishes, and almost all the top leaders of the Xiao family were there.

Everyone was toasting each other with smiles on their faces. It was obvious that they were the happiest ones about Xiao Yu's return. They even toasted Xiao Yu with wine from time to time and did not act like elders.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Zhan sat together. Zi Yan was still unfamiliar with the Xiao family, so she sat next to Xiao Yu.

"Yu'er is twenty-one years old this year."

Xiao Zhan was talking to Xiao Yu with a smile
Xiao Yu nodded and smiled: "Yes, I'm twenty-one."

Xiao Zhan said with emotion: "Time flies. In the blink of an eye, you have grown up, and now you are a super strong man. It's really amazing."

"Second Uncle, why are you so sentimental? Isn't it good for me to grow up?" Xiao Yu said with a smile and took a bite of the dish.

Xiao Zhan stroked his beard and smiled: "Okay, of course, the only regret is that I, your second uncle, have not seen you get married and start a family."

Xiao Yu heard this, his smile stopped abruptly, and he laughed dryly: "Second Uncle, you come again, this kind of thing is not urgent."

Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "You are already 21 years old, how can you not be anxious? You should have been forced to get married and have a big fat boy to add another genius to the family."

Xiao Yu could only helplessly remain silent about this. As expected, elders in every world were the same and liked to urge marriage.

Seeing Xiao Yu like this, Xiao Zhan naturally knew what he was thinking, and immediately said with a smile: "Second Uncle is just talking, I won't force you, now you just need to concentrate on your cultivation."

"You are different from others. You must be careful when looking for a wife. You must find one who can help you. With your current strength and status, ordinary girls are really not worthy of you."

Hearing Xiao Zhan say this, Xiao Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief
"Second uncle is indeed sensible."

Facing Xiao Yu's flattery, Xiao Zhan smiled, came over, and whispered: "Tell your uncle if there is a girl you like?"

Xiao Yu, who had been relaxing, suddenly had a black face. As expected, gossip is human nature, and his second uncle is no exception.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yu indicated no.

"Really? Actually, Second Uncle doesn't want to interfere with your lifelong affairs, Yu'er. It's just that Second Uncle thinks that Miss Yafei from the Miter Auction House is very kind to you and has some tendencies in that direction. How about considering it?"

Xiao Zhan didn't care about Xiao Yu shaking his head and continued talking to himself.

Xiao Yu originally picked up the cup and took a sip of wine, but after hearing what Xiao Zhan said, he almost spit it out.
"Uncle, what are you talking about? Sister Yafei and I are just friends."

Xiao Zhan disagreed and said, "Miss Yafei has taken good care of the Xiao family during your absence and often came to visit me, your second uncle."

After saying that, he still looked at Xiao Yu with a smile.

As for Ya Fei, if Xiao Yu said that he didn't like her, that would be pure self-deception. But as for talking about marriage, Xiao Yu felt that the situation was not even settled yet.

Maybe he just treats me as his younger brother.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yu said, "Second Uncle, don't mess around with matchmaking."

While the two were chatting, Zi Yan, who only knew Xiao Yu, was very bored. However, she knew that she couldn't throw a tantrum now, so she ate obediently next to Xiao Yu.

However, after hearing Xiao Zhan talking about Xiao Yu's marriage, his eyes lit up and he leaned forward to ask about it.

"By the way, Second Uncle, what's going on with this young patriarch?"

In order not to dwell on this matter any longer, Xiao Yu quickly changed the subject and asked about his young patriarch.

When Xiao Zhan heard Xiao Yu asking about this, he stopped talking about other things and said calmly, "This was decided by my second uncle and the elders. You are the most suitable person to be the young patriarch of the Xiao family."

Xiao Yu frowned and said: "But..."

"Don't say buts. The Xiao family is what it is today entirely due to you. As the most outstanding genius in the Xiao family, no one else can succeed the position of clan leader except you."

Xiao Zhan interrupted Xiao Yu and spoke earnestly.

After hearing this, Xiao Yu still felt that he couldn't be the young patriarch, so he said, "Second Uncle, I'm back this time and I'll leave after staying for a while. Forget about the position of young patriarch. You are in your prime, and no one is more experienced than you in managing the Xiao family, so it's too early to appoint you as the young patriarch at this time."

"Besides, if I become the young patriarch, I will have pressure, which will be detrimental to my practice."

"Besides, as a member of the Xiao family, I don't care about my status. No matter what, I am still a member of the Xiao family. There is no need to use the young patriarch to restrain me. Can I just ignore the Xiao family when they are in trouble?"

Xiao Zhan was silent after hearing this. He had known for a long time that Xiao Yu would refuse the position of young patriarch.

Having watched Xiao Yu grow up, how could Xiao Zhan not know Xiao Yu's temperament?

Sighing, Xiao Zhan said, "The position of young clan leader is not meant to tie you down, Yu'er. It's just that you have made great contributions to the Xiao family, so you are the only one who can be the young clan leader. This way, other people won't have any gossip."

"But since you, Yu'er, don't want to be the young patriarch, Second Uncle won't force you. I will discuss with the elders tomorrow and change your position."

Hearing this, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Second Uncle."

Xiao Zhan glanced at Xiao Yu, shook his head and laughed: "You."

It was obvious that Xiao Yu said those words just now on purpose, and his purpose was nothing more than to remove him from the position of young clan leader.

"Xiao Yu, who is Ya Fei?"

Zi Yan on the side seized the opportunity, tugged at Xiao Yu's sleeve, and asked in a low voice.

"Hey, little girl, why are you everywhere?"

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Why are you so fierce? Humph!"
