"Lord patriarch!" At this moment, a servant hurried over.
"What is it?" Xue Xiaoqing asked.
"That Lord asked me to pass a message. He said, he said ..." The servant hesitated.
"What did he say?" Xue Xiaoqing asked impatiently.
"That Lord said that if the Lord patriarch failed to handle the matter he had entrusted to us, then our Xue clan ... Xue clan would have no need to continue existing." The servant said in a trembling voice.
Xue Xiaoqing's heart sank, and his hands actually began to tremble slightly.
"Yue Kai Li, whether you know it or not, you must give me an answer. Otherwise, my Xue family will also die. But before I die, I will not let you have an easy time!" Xue Xiaoxiao suddenly turned around and roared at Yue Kaili.
"Xue Xiaoqing, I really don't know anything. How do you want me to give you an answer?" Yue Kaili said with a bitter smile.
"Impossible. This secret has been passed down from generation to generation in the Yue clan. Your father must have mentioned it to you before. Think about it carefully." Xue Xiaoqing said with certainty. He had no other choice but to try everything he could and place all his hopes on Yue Kaili.
"It has been nearly a hundred years since my Yue clan was exterminated. At that time, I was still a child. What do you want me to think?" Yue Kaili was so angry that his beard was trembling, and his face was filled with anger.
"I don't care what you think, but if you can't think of anything, I can help you." Xue Xiaoqing's face sank, and he looked at du Xiaofan coldly.
"Xue Xiaoqing, if you have any tricks up your sleeve, just come at me. Don't make things difficult for my martial uncle Ling's disciple!" Yue Kaili saw through Xue Xiaoqing's intentions and shouted.
"Hmph, I thought you couldn't remember? You'll remember soon enough. " Xue Xiaoqing snorted coldly and walked toward du Xiaofan.
"What are you doing? If you dare to lay a finger on Xiaofan, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost. " Old du struggled and roared.
Xue Xiaoqing, however, seemed to have not heard anything. He came to du Xiaofan and slowly raised his palm.
"Xue Xiaoqing, stop!" Yue Kaili also roared in Fury.
"What, you remember now?" Xue Xiaoqing turned around and asked.
"Give me a little more time to think about it." Yue Kaili's forehead was covered in cold sweat as images that had been sealed away for many years flashed through his mind. However, they were all in a mess, and he was unable to find any clues.
"Unfortunately, I don't have much time left." Xue Xiaoqing shook his head and was about to slap him.
"Lord patriarch, something bad has happened. Someone broke into the city Lord's mansion and asked you to see her!" At this moment, a few servants stumbled in and reported in a panic.
"Who's so bold!" Xue Xiaoqing stopped and asked.
"They claim to be from the ethereal sect residence." One of the servants replied.
"The ethereal sect residence!" Xue Xiaoqing's heart skipped a beat. What he was afraid of really happened. How did the people from ethereal sect residence arrive so quickly?
"Tell them that I'm in closed-door cultivation and will go out to meet them in a while." Xue Xiaoqing made up his mind. Even if he had to resort to unscrupulous means, he had to find out the secret as soon as possible. And before that, he had to drag it out for a while.
Although the Xue family had been recuperating for many years and had accumulated a considerable amount of strength in secret, they were still unwilling to make an enemy out of an ancient sect residence like the ethereal sect.
"Lord patriarch, I'm afraid this won't do. They've injured many people, and they've even torn down the main gate. If you don't go out, they'll probably tear down the entire Xue estate." One of the servants said with a lingering fear. If they didn't go out now, the woman outside would exterminate their Xue family without the need for that Lord to do anything.
