42 old man
Li Xiang didn't know about these things, but Wei Hu knew about them but didn't say them because they were arranged by the eldest lady himself. This yard was the lady's favorite retreat before. Except for a few people, no one was allowed to enter. Except for people coming to clean regularly, there was no one in the yard.
Originally, Wei Hu wanted to arrange a few servants to come and take charge of the daily life in the yard, but Li Xiang directly refused. The practitioners pursued the way of nature and liked quietness the most, and were most afraid of being disturbed when practicing, so he fundamentally eliminated this external factor.
Wei Hu just sent Li Xiang outside the yard, but had no intention of going in. He got several life requirements from the other party and promised to do everything before tomorrow afternoon, so he hurriedly left.
When Li Xiang was left in the yard, he simply started walking around.
The villa is square and elegant, with white walls and yellow tiles, and the roof and several balconies are covered with vines. It is not just simple, but simple.
However, although the villa looks average outside, the interior and furniture items inside are very unusual. It can be called high-end, elegant and upscale, low-key and luxurious, and has connotation.
For example, the Qianji brand air cooling, heating, drying and wet central regulator after Qianji Building, the Lihuo brand integrated kitchen set from Lihuoya, the Leiyin brand home theater super set from Leiyinguan, and the Ziyang brand fitness and sports equipment from Ziyang Villa...
Unfortunately, Li Xiang doesn’t know much about these things. If it were anyone of this era, he would know that everything here is a big brand, and his ranking in their respective fields is definitely within the top five, and his price is quite high.
Li Xiang roughly walked around and the environment here was very quiet. There were only low grass within fifty meters around. The trees planted fifty meters away were also sparse, obviously intentional, so that the view was very wide and very good, and you could see everything at a glance.
It's like a person who appears in the yard at this moment.
Li Xiang jumped from the balcony on the third floor and landed gently in the yard like fallen leaves, just in front of the other party.
This is a middle-aged man with a good appearance, with a burly figure, but he doesn't look imposing because of his slightly arched waist.
The hair is half black and not white, like dead grass without any luster. The two thick eyebrows are gray and white, and the crow's feet are as deep as a knife.
A pair of almond eyes are very big, but there is no spirit inside, and the whole person looks unhappy.
The middle-aged man was wearing a training suit that was very tailored, and there was no slight fluctuation of spiritual power all over his body. At first glance, it looked no different from that of ordinary people.
But Li Xiang knew very well that ordinary people would never appear in the Xiao family compound, because even the servants here had the cultivation level of Qi Refining Realm. This shows that the middle-aged man in front of him was absolutely extraordinary, at least he had reached the point where he could retract his spiritual power with ease.
The middle-aged man looked at Li Xiang with a bright look, and it took a long time to say something.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Li Xiang, and it was invited by Miss Xiao to help the Xiao family overcome the difficulties."
Judging from the fact that the middle-aged man stepped into someone else's yard without any scruples, Li Xiang could at least be sure that the other party's identity in the Xiao family was definitely not low, so he spoke out bluntly. Although his tone was plain, it contained extremely strong confidence.
"Old man, I wonder what it's expensive to come to my yard?"
The middle-aged man's expression had not changed, but his eyes became a little solemn. His sharp eyes pierced Li Xiang, and his heart was already filled with storms for two reasons.
First, he knew that this seemingly ordinary yard was Xiao Ruomeng's favorite retreat. There were very few people who were allowed to come in, but he let the person named Li Xiang in front of him move in, which shows how much Xiao Ruomeng valued him.
Second, he entered the Nascent Soul Realm when he was nearly forty years old, and his appearance remained at that time. Any stranger would think he was a middle-aged man for the first time, but Li Xiang said that he was "old man", and he obviously had seen through his real age.
If it were a powerful cultivator, it might not be surprising, but Li Xiang was only a cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm. This was not just a surprise, but shocked.
This person who looks like a middle-aged man is Xiao Ruomeng's grandfather, who has the cultivation level of the combination, Xiao Zhengping, the current family of the Xiao family.
Xiao Zhengping was originally experiencing the opportunity of heaven and earth in the back mountain of the main house. During the rest, he happened to see an extended aircraft landing in this retreat courtyard.
He thought his granddaughter had returned, so he immediately came over to see how his granddaughter was doing. Who would have thought that he would see a strange young man, so he couldn't help but show up and ask for it.
"Ruomeng mentioned me to you?" Xiao Zhengping did not show any disdain when he heard that Li Xiang was invited by his granddaughter himself.
Since Xiao Ruomeng took over the Xiao family, everything has been taken care of in an orderly manner. Although many places are a little immature, he has become a very qualified family member. He believes in his granddaughter's vision very much, and Li Xiang must have something extraordinary.
"It turns out to be Mr. Xiao, I'm so respectful!" Li Xiang already knew a little about Xiao Ruomeng's personality. Not everyone could call her by her name. Coupled with the recent situation of the Xiao family that he had heard before, the identity of the person in front of him was about to emerge.
"You are a little smart." Xiao Zhengping saw a little suddenness in Li Xiang's eyebrows, and knew that the other party did not know him before. "But if you want to help the Xiao family overcome difficulties, it is not enough to rely on intelligence alone. You must have real skills! What are your abilities?"
"This is to see if Mr. Xiao believes me?" Li Xiang smiled playfully and said confidently.
Mr. Xiao was silent when he heard this and looked at Li Xiang up and down again. He was a young man with a good cultivation level in Qi Refining Realm. He really didn't see it, but after thinking about it, he decided to believe Xiao Ruomeng's decision.
"Since my granddaughter believes in you, then I believe in you, you better not let us down!"
"Then please come in and sit down."
Li Xiang completely ignored Mr. Xiao’s warning. Although the other party deliberately exuded the pressure of a strong man when he spoke, it had no effect on him.
You should know that Li Xiang had cultivated to the Mahayana realm in his previous life, but because of the ninth level of "The Art of Life and Death and Reincarnation", all his strength at that time was used to temper his talents and roots, and he was able to create his current heaven-defying body.
Therefore, even if you start from zero again, the influence of the pressure of the combined realm is limited, and it is almost the same if you change to the Mahayana realm.
Xiao Zhengping was surprised by Li Xiang's indifference and couldn't help but look up. This kid was indeed not simple, so he nodded happily.
The two of them came to the lobby of the villa and sat down.
As the host, Li Xiang seemed to have no sense of hospitality. Not to mention making tea or anything else, he didn't even have a cup of water. He was so angry that Mr. Xiao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at this young man who didn't know how to respect the elderly.
