Xiao Xue was surprised by the conditions proposed by Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan also noticed a trace of doubt on Xiao Xue's expression, but he just smiled and did not do anything else.
The two parties waiting in the hall were in two states. The Liu family appeared relaxed and indifferent, as if they were sure of winning the right to manage the space wormhole.
On the other hand, the Cheng family was like an ant on a hot pot, so they almost rushed in to find out what was going on. If Elder Chihuo hadn't been present, I'm afraid the head of the Cheng family would have really done something drastic.
As time passed bit by bit, the final result came as expected.
The alchemist invited by the Cheng family walked at the front with his head drooped and dejectedly. Needless to say, the head of the Cheng family knew that he had lost.
On the other hand, Xiao Yan, Xiao Xue brother and sister were much more relaxed and natural, and the smiles on their faces said everything. Tang Zhen, the owner of the Burning Flame Valley, did not show up.
A man who looked like a housekeeper walked up to Elder Chihuo and whispered something. Elder Chihuo nodded and responded.
When Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue brother and sister returned to the Liu family, Elder Chihuo cleared his throat, first looked at the Liu family, and then at the Cheng family.
"The Valley Master is suddenly in trouble. The results of this assessment have been released. Congratulations to the two alchemists of the Liu family for winning. According to the rules, the management of the space wormhole belongs to the Liu family."
Everyone in the Liu family was beaming with joy after receiving the right to manage the space wormhole, and some of the less reserved disciples were already congratulating each other.
The head of the Cheng family was like a puddle of mud. The Liu family had all left the hall, but the head of the Cheng family had not yet recovered.
It wasn't until the Cheng family shouted that he recovered again, but the first words he said after he recovered were: "Hey, the Cheng family is finished."
When Xiao Yan, Xiao Xue and Xiao Xue returned to the Liu family, it could be said that they received the highest level of treatment from the Liu family. Everyone who saw the brothers and sisters would salute them politely and respectfully.
The dinner was even more sumptuous. To describe it as drunken and dreamy is no exaggeration. The singing and dancing of birds and animals that can only be enjoyed in TV dramas were presented in full view here.
To be honest, I have never enjoyed such treatment. Even when I was protecting the empire for the royal family in the Jia Ma Empire, it couldn't be compared to the current scene.
After drinking and eating, the hall fell into a dead silence, with people lying everywhere. Xiao Xue looked at Xiao Yan and Lin Yan drunkenly, and Liu Qing leaned against each other and murmured.
"Come on, drink more! Xun'er!"
Where is Sister Xun'er here? Xiao Xue shook her head, walked straight out of the banquet hall, and found a secluded rooftop to admire the moon.
Tang Zhen, who returned to Burning Flame Valley, immediately summoned the elders of the Council of Elders.
When Tang Zhen told Xiao Yan the conditions proposed by him, the elders below exploded.
The great elder was the first person to stand up and object.
"Valley Master, how is this possible? The Three Mysterious Changes of Heavenly Fire are the treasure of the Valley. How can an outsider learn them?"
"Yes, the great elder is right. If an outsider learns this, it will make us in Fenyan Valley lose face. We must not do it."
"Two elders, that's not what you said. Although the secret method is good, is it comparable to the life of the valley owner's daughter? Have you forgotten the purpose of looking for the alchemist this time?"
The third elder stood up to object to what the previous two elders said and expressed his own opinion.
It's okay not to mention this, but when it comes to this, it can be said that the meeting hall suddenly turned into a vegetable market.
The two sides argued endlessly for a while, and Tang Zhen frowned. He didn't look like an elder at all. Really.
"Okay!" Tang Zhen said sternly, and the elders who were arguing below calmed down.
"Valley Master, I know that you are eager to save your daughter, but after all, this is the treasure of the valley. It was so easy to pass it on to an outsider and let the ancestor know about it. You should blame me for waiting."
How could Tang Zhen not know the stakes involved, but if it dragged on, Tang Huoer's life would be lost.
How can any father watch his daughter die and remain indifferent?
"Great Elder, you are right. But Huo'er's life will really be lost if he is not treated. Do you want me to watch my daughter die without any action?"
Facing Tang Zhen's trembling voice, the elder who was very excited at first had no choice but to sit down when facing Tang Zhen, who looked slightly older at this time.
The whole discussion hall was silent after the initial debate.
"Valley Master, both great elders please calm down. I have an idea. Is it feasible?"
Elder Chihuo's words immediately aroused the expectations of Tang Zhen and others.
When Elder Chihuo finished speaking, the entire meeting hall started to discuss again.
"Can he agree to this?"
"I think this is the only way at the moment to easily give away the treasure of the valley without violating the rules of the valley."
"I agree with Elder Chihuo's idea." Tang Zhen's words immediately silenced the elders present.
The next day, while Xiao Xue was still sleeping on the roof, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Xiao Xue, who was not yet awake, yawned, stood up and looked in the direction of the door, rubbed her eyes and took a closer look.
This group of people arrived really early. When the Liu family's guards opened the door and saw this, one of them immediately turned around and ran inside.
No one thought that people from Fenyan Valley would come so early, and the hall was still in such a mess.
Mr. Liu ordered the maids to quickly clean the hall and greeted them with a smile as he went out.
Xiao Yan and others were woken up while they were still sleeping, and they were a little embarrassed when they learned that the people from Burning Flame Valley had arrived.
He hurried back to his residence to freshen up.
"Little sister, why don't you try to persuade me? Look at how embarrassed this couple is."
"Who could have persuaded you last night? Even nine cows couldn't pull you back. But as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed, right?"
Listening to Xiao Xue's gloating and joking aside, Xiao Yan felt helpless and could only sigh while washing up.
Not long after, a maid from the Liu family knocked on the courtyard door, and Ah Li opened it.
The maid walked up to Xiao Xue and bowed respectfully: "Miss Xiao, Master Xiao, the master of the house invites you two to go to the hall."
"Okay, let's go there right away."
The maid retreated, and Xiao Xue stared at Xiao Yan as if she were watching a show.
He had made a fool of himself in front of the maid just now, which was enough for Xiao Xue to make fun of Xiao Yan.
"Elder Chihuo, please wait patiently for a while. I have asked the maid to invite them."
Mr. Liu smiled and explained politely.
He had already complained to himself countless times in his heart, if he had known there would be no party last night, but now, everyone had drunk too much, and they even lay down in the hall to sleep.
Soon, Xiao Xue and Xiao Yan brother and sister came to the hall. Of course, Ah Li and the three of them were closely guarding Xiao Xue.
"This is Elder Chihuo from Fenyan Valley. You all met him yesterday."
Mr. Liu introduced Elder Chihuo to Xiao Yan and Xiao Xue brother and sister.
Immediately, he introduced Xiao Yan, Xiao Xue brother and sister to Elder Chihuo.
"The conditions you two proposed to the Valley Master yesterday have been responded to by the Elders Council. Today, the Japanese elders are here to take you two to the Burning Flame Valley on the orders of the Valley Master."
"Can we really agree to the conditions we proposed so easily?"
"As long as you follow this elder to Burning Flame Valley, you will know the rest when you get to the valley."
Xiao Xue could tell from Elder Chihuo's expression that even if you don't want to go, you have to go today.
He didn't have any attitude of inviting people. You should know that he was just an alchemist invited by the Liu family and was not affiliated with the Liu family. Obviously, Elder Chihuo's attitude towards Xiao Yan and the Xiao Xue brothers was that they were servants of the Liu family.
Elder Chihuo looked like a boss, which was very unpleasant to see.
"I felt cold when I came back last night. I wonder if I can rest for a day before going back?"
"I'm afraid this won't work. The Valley Master has been waiting for a long time. Is this how the Liu family treats guests?"
Elder Chihuo directly targeted the Liu family, and Mr. Liu was in a bit of a dilemma. Seeing Elder Chihuo bullying Mr. Liu, Xiao Xue inexplicably felt the desire to punish Elder Chihuo.
