The royal palace of the Xiao clan is located in the southwest of the imperial city. Although it is not as grand as the imperial palace, it is still extremely magnificent.
Since today is the 500th birthday banquet of the Xiao clan leader, the palace is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, and the house is full of guests and friends, making it extremely lively.
Those who can come to the birthday banquet are all prominent figures in the imperial city. Ordinary people simply do not have such qualifications.
"Master Ye Chen, we are here."
At this time, an extremely luxurious golden chariot suddenly stopped at the gate of the palace.
The people sitting inside were clearly Ye Chen and Ye Zixi.
"King White Crane Pill, please go back first!"
Ye Chen slowly walked down from the golden chariot and said to King White Crane Pill.
"Yes! Master Ye Chen."
The White Crane Pill King looked extremely respectful and immediately left here in his golden chariot.
He couldn't wait to use the elixir Ye Chen gave him to heal his soul injury.
Otherwise, his life will be in danger at any time.
"Brother! It's so lively here."
Ye Zixi looked at the guests who came from all over the palace to attend the birthday banquet and couldn't help but sigh.
It seemed that her mother's family was much more powerful than she imagined.
Just holding a birthday banquet attracted so many powerful people in the imperial city.
"Hmph! The Xiao clan can't even protect its own people, so what's the use of being stronger!"
A sneer flashed across Ye Chen's lips.
Back then, if the Xiao clan hadn't expelled Ye Chen's mother from the family, she wouldn't have been forced to do so by Yang Tian.
Fortunately, his mother successfully escaped from Yang Tian's clutches.
Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
Even so, Ye Chen would never be able to forgive the Xiao clan's behavior.
If there was not a blood relationship between him and the Xiao clan, he would definitely not let the Xiao clan go so easily.
…
After a while, Ye Chen brought Ye Zixi to the gate of the palace.
This place is guarded by dozens of Xiao clan guards, and there is even a Martial King from the Tianying Realm inside.
As long as they are here, no one else can even think of stepping into the palace.
"You two, please show me your invitation."
At this moment, a guard suddenly blocked Ye Chen and Ye Zixi's path and looked them up and down.
If an acquaintance comes to attend a birthday banquet, they will let them go immediately even if they don't take the invitation.
However, Ye Chen and the two of them looked extremely strange.
The guard didn't even have the slightest impression of them.
Therefore, it was naturally impossible for him to let Ye Chen and others enter the palace casually.
Otherwise, if something happens, he won't be able to bear the responsibility.
"We don't have an invitation."
Ye Chen said lightly.
"What? You want to enter our palace without an invitation. You are so brave."
"Get out of here quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." All the guards were shocked and said sternly to Ye Chen and the others.
This was the first time they saw a stranger without an invitation dare to come into their palace.
This is simply impatient to live.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, a white-haired old man suddenly walked towards everyone and said with a frown.
"Elder Shi, the two of them didn't have an invitation, but they wanted to come to the birthday banquet. I don't know who gave them the courage!"
One of the guards sneered.
"Oh! Who are you two? Why did you come to our palace?"
As the white-haired old man spoke, his eyes fell on Ye Chen and Ye Zixi.
However, when his eyes came into contact with Ye Zixi, his old body couldn't help but tremble suddenly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
"Elder Shi, what's wrong with you?"
"Is it possible that their origins are not simple?"
The guards all looked extremely surprised.
You know, their Elder Shi is a Heavenly Infant Realm Martial King!
But now, after meeting the woman of unknown origin, he actually acted so shocked.
Is it possible that the identity of the other party is extremely complicated?
"There is nothing for you to do here. You can go and receive other distinguished guests!"
The white-haired old man suppressed the shock in his heart and said to the guards around him.
"Yes! Elder Shi!"
The surrounding guards took orders one after another.
Although, Elder Shi's status in the Xiao clan has plummeted due to that incident.
However, he is still a Heavenly Infant Realm Martial King after all.
Everyone was still in awe of him.
"Who are you? Why do you look so much like Hui'er?"
After the group of guards walked away, the white-haired old man suddenly stared at Ye Zixi, and even his voice trembled violently.
"Grandpa, is it possible that you recognize my mother?"
Ye Zixi said quickly.
"What did you say? Hui'er is your mother? How is this possible!"
The white-haired old man's pupils suddenly shrank, and he couldn't believe his ears.
"Grandpa, this is true! What is your relationship with my mother?"
Ye Zixi couldn't help but ask.
She had already learned from Yang Tian that her appearance was almost exactly the same as that of her mother.
And her mother was once a member of the Xiao clan.
Therefore, it is normal for the white-haired old man in front of her to know her mother.
I just don't know what the relationship is between him and her mother.
"Oh! I didn't expect that Hui'er's daughter would already be so old after not seeing each other for twenty years! My child, I am your mother's grandfather!"
The white-haired old man couldn't help but sigh with emotion, his expression extremely excited.
Even he did not expect that his granddaughter Xiao Hui would get married and have children so soon after being expelled from the family.
Moreover, her daughter looks so much like her.
"What? You are my mother's grandfather? Isn't that my great-grandfather?"
There was a buzzing sound in Ye Zixi's mind, and her whole body froze on the spot.
She had thought that her mother still had family members in the Xiao clan.
However, when she actually met him, she was at a loss for a moment.
"Alas! My child! I am indeed your great-grandfather! But your mother has been expelled from the Xiao Clan. I wonder if the Xiao Clan is still willing to accept you.
However, I will definitely ask the clan leader to let you rejoin the Xiao clan."
The white-haired old man couldn't help but sigh, his expression extremely complicated.
Back then, his granddaughter Xiao Hui was extremely talented and he had great hopes for her.
And Xiao Hui did not live up to his expectations. In just a dozen years, she stepped into the human infant realm and caused a sensation in the entire Beiming Dynasty.
Even the Huang Jiao Alliance sent people to win over her.
And since she joined the Huang Jiao Alliance, their lineage's status in the Xiao clan has also increased.
However, what he never expected was that his granddaughter would offend an important figure in the Holy Realm and be expelled from the Yellow Dragon Alliance.
As for Xiao Clan, because he was worried about being implicated by his granddaughter, he completely severed ties with her.
Since then, their lineage's status among the Xiao clan has plummeted, and they have been ostracized everywhere.
However, he has never complained about his granddaughter.
Because none of this is her fault.
If you want to blame, it's the big man from the Holy Realm who is too overbearing.
