Lu Li's exclamation interrupted Taoyao's chaotic thoughts.
That's all, no matter how she speculates about the future, until the future arrives, everything is unknown, so let's just wait and see.
Following Lu Li's exclamation, Taoyao first saw a clear and wide lake. The breadth of the lake was astonishing. Starlight cast on the sparkling lake, and occasionally monsters jumped out of the water.
After the thousand-year war, the great demons were slaughtered, and only a group of demon beasts were left in Youdu. Most of the demon beasts with natural abilities, such as tigers, leopards, and wolves, either joined the ghost and demon tribes, or were adopted by human cultivators.
Spirit pets are used as tools for driving.
Therefore, in the huge Youdu, there are only a group of harmless chickens, ducks and fish left.
The lake on the way to Taojia seems to be home to many ferocious water monsters. Looking at the lack of boats on the lake, it is obvious that this lake is almost a natural fortress protecting Taojia.
Anyone who breaks into the Tao family by boat must first fight a group of underwater monsters. Thinking about it this way, it makes sense why the Tao family is so strong that it is so strong that it can be silent.
In the center of such a large lake, there lies a small island with a large area and full of greenery. There are scattered candlelights flickering between the islands. And in the middle of this greenery, stands a tall and majestic dark mansion, heavy.
The color allows people to see its simplicity and majesty just by looking at it.
Flying across the lake, Tao Qi landed first, and then stood on the high stairs waiting for Tao Yao.
Soon, Taoyao and Lu Li also landed. As soon as they landed, she looked up at the Tao family's door, which was more than five meters high. The word "Tao family" on the door plaque was written so vigorously that it seemed like she was scolding Fang Qiu, with a mouthful of words.
The domineering attitude of having the world under his control.
The ambitions of the Tao family are clearly visible.
The door is still closed, and in front of the door are two stone beasts, carved with teeth and claws, and eyes wide open, as if they will turn into real objects and pounce on someone in the next moment.
Not long after, the door was slowly opened, and a group of old men in black slowly walked out of the door. The old man in black clothes and white beard walking in the front had golden light shining on his clothes.
Taoyao doesn't like these people.
Although Mr. Cen also has a white beard, he does not have domineering attitude, only the kindness of a scoundrel. However, this member of the Tao family has a murderous aura, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
This man stood arrogantly on the high steps, lowering his eyes to look at Taoyao and others. Even though he was far away, Taoyao could see the contempt and disdain in his eyes: "Old Qi, what's going on?"
Tao Qi hurriedly walked up the steps. When she was still a step away from the top, she stopped and bowed her hands in salute: "Meet the clan leader."
Chief Tao said nothing.
On the high steps, under two red lanterns, Patriarch Tao's cold eyes quickly glanced at Taoyao and the second brother of the Tao family. He often paused for no more than a second, and then quickly moved away.
Also, for a big shot like the head of the Tao family, she, Taoyao, is just a little ant at most, so there is no need to waste a single bit of his energy.
Tao Qi knew what the clan leader meant, so she quickly whispered into the clan leader's ear. After a while, the clan leader condescended and turned his attention back to Tao Yao.
Only the coldness in his eyes made him a little more complicated.
I think Tao Qi told the truth that she was the disciple of the Immortal.
Patriarch Tao raised his lips slightly and asked coldly in a condescending voice: "Which one is Lu Xianzun?"
Lu Li raised his eyes but said nothing.
Tao Qi, who was standing next to the patriarch, saw that the situation was not right and whispered a few more words. Then the Tao patriarch hastily raised his hand and reluctantly made a hand-over salute: "Lu Xianzun has come from afar, and the Tao family has come a long way."
This exchange of greetings was so perfunctory that Taoyao was amazed.
In any case, they came from Kunlun. No matter how powerful the Tao family is, it is only a family in the world. However, Taoyao is convinced that unless a leader like the eldest brother comes to the Tao family in person, the Tao family will not give much face.
.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Tao Qi. After all, not long ago, Tao Qi had sworn to the immortal.
As soon as Tao Qi touched Tao Yao's eyes, he asked her to calm down, but it didn't seem like he was in a hurry to break his promise. Sure enough, he turned his head to talk to the patriarch again, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the patriarch.
With a warning look, he took half a step back.
The power of the head of the Tao family is all in this moment.
Although Patriarch Tao didn't want to hear Tao Qi's nonsense, he was still willing to show off. He raised his arm and said, "Lu Xianzun, please come in."
Lu Li did not go up the steps. Instead, he moved half a step back and stood just behind Tao Yao: "Chief Tao Yao, my senior sister is still here. The elders and younger ones are in order. You should invite the senior sister in first."
"I'm sorry for my blindness, but I don't know who Senior Sister Lu Xianzun is?"
Tao Yao couldn't hold back and smiled.
This old man is quite interesting. Tao Qi certainly didn't say what he needed to say, but he knew it but pretended not to know. He was determined to give her a blow in front of Tao's house. Could it be that he expected her to cry in fear and come forward to admit her mistake?
She didn't know whether the dead Tao Yao was afraid of the old man, but if he wanted her to be afraid, it would be overthinking.
Patriarch Tao had questions, and Lu Li replied righteously: "My senior sister is named Tao. She was once a member of the Tao family. Now she is worshiping under the Immortal Seat on Jingshang. According to the rules, Patriarch Tao should come forward to greet her."
"..." Chief Tao's face was dark and he stood motionless at the high level.
The arrogance of the Tao family made Lu Li's face darken: "I am originally from the Lu family in Jiangling. Before I went to Kunlun, I heard my elders talk about the Tao family. The elders often said that among the six families in Qiye Continent, the Tao family knows the best.
Now, my senior sister is worshiping under the Immortal Seat on Jingshang. In terms of seniority, no one in the huge Qiye Continent can surpass the Immortal. Therefore, no one can surpass Senior Sister Tao. Come to think of it, Tao
The clan leader shouldn’t be ignorant. Or is it that I have been away from the mortal world for too long, and the Tao family is no longer what it used to be, and they no longer follow the rules?”
As expected of someone who was enlightened by an immortal, Lu Li's wooden fish head became enlightened a lot.
This question about the Tao family is quite beautiful. Unless the Tao family can silence them all, once they leave the Tao family, it will always be known that the Tao family no longer knows what the rules are.
For aristocratic families, it is very important whether the people in the clan follow the rules or not, especially for the ambitious Tao family.
Sure enough, Patriarch Tao frowned slightly and walked down the steps: "I have met Tao Immortal Lord and Lu Immortal Lord."
Lu Li looked at Taoyao, but she didn't say anything, so he waved his sleeves and said, "No need."
In the first round of head-to-head confrontation, she won a small victory.
However, Taoyao didn't feel proud at all.
Before going to the Tao family, Shangxian not only forced Tao Qi to make a promise, but also said that he would personally pick her up and take her back to Kunlun in a few days. Even so, the head of the Tao family still did not take her seriously, which shows that Tao Yao's mother and brother
Things are not easy to accomplish.
What's even more troublesome is that the second brother of her family is still standing three meters away from her, for fear that Tao's family won't know that he has a problem with her.
Everyone stepped up and went up the steps.
Entering the gate of Taojia, there is a large courtyard. The trees in the courtyard are arranged in a regular layout. There are a few rocks as decoration among the green grass, but there are no red flowers.
Such a single scene made Tao Yao's eyebrows frown.
When she walked through the courtyard and walked to the house, her impression of the Tao family had almost reached its bottom.
It is said that appearance comes from the heart. This is true for people, and the environment in which they live is also the same. For example, in Kunlun, the mountains and plains are full of colors, and even the small fish in the creek are either red or orange.
But what about the Tao family?
It’s just that there are no flowers and plants in the courtyard. Even the corridor leading to the house and the walls of the house are dark gray, almost black. Under the dim candlelight, Tao’s house looks lifeless.
Before they entered the main hall, the second brother of the Tao family rushed to Taoyao's side and said urgently: "Younger, I must ask my mother and eldest brother first in a moment."
Taoyao didn't say anything, and her eyes passed over Chief Tao without any trace. The corners of his mouth curved slightly because of the actions of the second brother of the Tao family.
"Xiao Yao'er, second brother is talking to you, do you hear it?!"
Taoyao smiled and nodded immediately.
The undercurrent here is surging, and this guy really knows nothing about it. He thinks she is a goddess from the Nine Heavens. If she opens her mouth, will the Tao family obey her in everything?
It is true that she is a disciple of the Supreme Immortal, but without the Supreme Immortal, she is just a disciple who has not accomplished much.
Entering the main hall of Taojia, the scene suddenly turned bright. The layout of the main hall was as heavy as the whole, which made people feel depressed. However, the lamps hanging on the beams illuminated the main hall as bright as day.
In the majestic main hall, the spacious seat placed at the highest point is particularly eye-catching. What is even more eye-catching is the shiny red fox fur spread on the seat.
The group of people stopped suddenly. Patriarch Tao and Tao Yao stood at opposite ends, neither of them spoke first.
At this time, Tao Qi raised her lips, walked to the middle with a smile, and asked Tao Yao pretending to be polite: "Tao Xianzun, please take a seat."
Considering Tao Yao's status as a disciple of the Supreme Immortal, it is reasonable for Tao Qi to invite her to the table, but Tao Yao is not only a disciple of the Supreme Immortal, but also a junior of the Tao family.
What's more, she came to the Tao family to reason. She should advance and retreat in a measured manner to give the Tao family face. However, Taoyao never likes to follow the routine.
She raised her hand towards Chief Tao: "Then I won't be polite."
After saying that, under the glare of Chief Tao's cold eyes that could almost freeze one to death, she slowly walked to the highest point of the main hall step by step, and then sat down comfortably.
It is truly a very comfortable chair, and what is even more comfortable is the feeling of sitting on it, like an emperor dominating the world.
Tao Yao sat down and looked down at the Tao family with a smile, and said casually like a master: "Peach Clan Chief, all Tao Clan elders, you can also sit down, don't be restrained."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people in the hall did not turn black, but became very ugly.
Tao Yao was still waiting to appreciate the ugly faces of the Tao family, but the second brother of the Tao family grabbed her right sleeve: "Xiao Yao'er, stop playing around and get down to business!"
When talking to people, all you need to do is to put in a mental quality, but she has an impatient second brother from the Tao family on her side. She is afraid that she will lose in this second round.
But at this moment, she couldn't clarify her priorities with the second brother of the Tao family, so the Tao family gave her time to say, with the elm head of the second brother of the Tao family, can he understand?
That’s all, let’s get straight to the point. What if we can do it?
"Clan Chief Tao, I and you are my own family members. Youdao means that one family does not speak the same language as the other. I don't want to be falsely polite to you. May I ask, Chief Tao, where are my mother-in-law and eldest brother now?"
Chief Tao raised his lips and said nothing.
"..."
In the condensed atmosphere, Tao Qi tried to persuade him again, but he heard Patriarch Tao say impatiently: "Old Qi, if you want to answer, just answer it. How can you behave in such a dignified manner in front of Tao Immortal Lord?!" This chapter has been completed!
