Becoming Invincible Starts With Marrying A Wife-Chapter 7
Ouyang Family Clan, Ouyang Xiao
The Ouyang Family Clan was one of the three major immortal-cultivation clans in the Ten Thousand Flower City. The other two major family clans were the Jiang Family Clan and the Bai Family Clan.
The three major family clans had all come from ordinary immortal-cultivation family clans, step by step.
It was not until the patriarch in the family clan broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm that the status of the entire family clan instantly soared and became the top family clan and faction in the Ten Thousand Flower City.
The Ouyang Family Clan was the last to start, but their patriarch was also the youngest.
The three family clans were equal in strength. There was competition as well as cooperation, but they were all within a reasonable range.
After all, cultivators were not allowed to fight wantonly in the city. Once they were discovered, they would definitely be severely punished by the law enforcement team.
Apart from the three major immortal-cultivation family clans, in Ten Thousand Flower City, there was also a City Lord’s residence.
The City Lord’s residence was just an organization that was mainly responsible for the stability of the city and did not participate in the distribution of benefits. However, its law enforcement team was still terrifying.
…
Ye Xuan followed the servant into the Ouyang Family. What greeted him was an atmosphere like that of an ancient court. There were pavilions after pavilions that were low-key yet contained endless luxury.
Every blade of grass, every tree, every brick, and every tile exuded the aura of wealth.
The Ye Family Clan could be considered a large family clan, but compared to the Ouyang Family Clan, which had cultivated for a hundred years, it was still far from it.
After quickly passing through a wide corridor, Ye Xuan arrived at a huge garden.
There was a small bridge with flowing water. Birds were chirping, and there was the sweet scent of flowers.
The sound of the zither drifted into his ears, and in the distance, there were dancers dancing.
There were some cultivators sitting scattered around the banquet table. Some were chatting, while others were enjoying the delicacies and doing their own things, and there was no sense of incongruity.
In addition to this, Ye Xuan also realized that the cultivators here were all older. They looked at least 30 years old, but their actual age was definitely more than 50 years old.
Some of them even had white sideburns. They might even be over a hundred years old.
A young man in his twenties like him did not exist at all.
“Eh, this fellow cultivator looks so young!”
“Fellow Cultivator, is this your first time participating in the gathering of independent cultivators?”
Just as Ye Xuan was at a loss, a startled voice suddenly came from the side.
Ye Xuan turned around and found a young man dressed in white.
Then, he was stunned.
Earlier, he still thought that he was the youngest. Now, unexpectedly, someone younger than him came. This was awkward.
“Fellow Cultivator, are you alright?”
When the young man saw Ye Xuan staring at him, he was also a little dumbfounded.
“Oh, I’m sorry.”
“This is indeed my first time here. I’m a little presumptuous.”
Ye Xuan cupped his fists at the young man and apologized.
“Hehe, it’s fine~”
“I’m Ouyang Xiao, the direct heir of the Ouyang Family and a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect.”
“Green Cloud Sect’s disciple?”
Ye Xuan was also stunned.
The Green Cloud Sect was a sect on par with the Ten Thousand Flower Sect. If one wanted to join it, one would need to be at least a Grade-3 spiritual root. He did not expect this young man to be from there.
No wonder the Ouyang Family Clan was able to rise in such a short period of time. It was probably because Ouyang Xiao was a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect.
Ouyang Xiao nodded gently, then looked at Ye Xuan and asked with a smile, “I see that you’ve stepped into the ranks of immortal cultivators at such a young age. You must have extraordinary talent. You’re not an independent cultivator, right?”
“Hehe, Fellow Cultivator Ouyang has misunderstood.”
“I’m indeed an independent cultivator. I stepped onto the path of cultivation by chance. I look young because I value looks more.”
Ye Xuan chuckled and spouted nonsense without changing his expression.
His relationship with the Ten Thousand Flower Sect would definitely not be exposed unless he had no choice.
As for his looks, he would attribute it to the Beauty Retaining Pill. Anyway, when the time was right, he would reveal his identity as an alchemist to maximize the benefits of this trip.
“I see. I was presumptuous.”
Ouyang Xiao revealed an apologetic look. Then, he looked at Ye Xuan and asked with a smile, “May I know your name? If you don’t mind, I can bring you around so that you may be familiar with the format of our gathering.”
After all, since Ye Xuan came to the Ten Thousand Flower City, he had barely left the house. The outside world only knew the existence of the Ye Family Head, but no one had ever seen him.
“You’re too kind, Fellow Cultivator. I’m Ye Xuan, the head of the Ye Family.” Ye Xuan smiled slightly.
“The head of the Ye Family, could it be that Ye Family that has risen in the past two years?”
Ouyang Xiao was stunned. He really did not expect the handsome young man in front of him to be the Ye Family Patriarch!
This was completely different from what he imagined!
“What? He’s the Ye Family Patriarch?”
“He’s actually so young. I thought he was some old fellow who was about to exhaust his lifespan.”
“Rumor has it that the patriarch of the Ye Family values sex as much as his life. I didn’t expect him to be so young.”
“In just three short years, he took in more than a hundred concubines. However, I saw that his face was rosy and he didn’t look like he was exhausted at all. It’s really strange…”
“Could this be talent?”
“It’s good to be young!”
…
Since Ye Xuan and his companion did not hide their conversation, the surrounding guests who were independent cultivators overheard and started to discuss among themselves.
All of them looked at Ye Xuan curiously.
Ye Xuan could naturally hear the whispers of the others. He was also somewhat helpless.
It seemed like he had to come out more often in the future.
Otherwise, there would probably be rumors that he relied on women to cultivate after this year.
“Hahaha!”
“So it’s Fellow Cultivator Ye. Sorry for the disrespect.”
“Although Fellow Cultivator Ye hasn’t been in Ten Thousand Flower City for long, you’re a role model for my generation~”
Ouyang Xiao laughed and teased.
“Fellow Cultivator Ouyang, don’t tease me.”
“It’s better that you give me an introduction on this gathering of independent cultivators…”
The corners of Ye Xuan’s mouth twitched. He was still a little embarrassed to be stared at by so many people.
“Alright, alright, alright. Fellow Cultivator Ye, follow me!”
Ouyang Xiao laughed and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Xuan.
…
“This time, we’ve sent out a total of more than 500 invitations. Currently, there are about 300 people attending the gathering.”
“This is the Cultivation Discussion Area. We can discuss our respective insights on cultivation. We can exchange ideas, check for gaps, and make improvements together.”
Ouyang Xiao brought Ye Xuan into the depths of the courtyard and explained to him while chatting.
After arriving at a pavilion, Ouyang Xiao stopped and said with a smile, “This is a rest area. There are a lot of delicacies and some maid services. I believe fellow cultivator Ye will like it~”
“Cough, cough.”
“Fellow Cultivator Ouyang, I’m a serious person. Don’t joke….”
Ye Xuan’s face darkened.
Damn it, was there no end to this??
“Haha! Don’t mind me, Fellow Cultivator Ye!” Ouyang Xiao hurriedly laughed before changing the topic. He pointed at a large empty space in front of him and slowly introduced it.
“Up ahead is the trading area. All cultivators can take out their items to trade with other cultivators. They can also put up a reward for some specific cultivation resources. Our Ouyang Family provides an appraisal service for free.”
“This is also the liveliest place for independent cultivators to gather. If Fellow Cultivator comes with me, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.”
With that said, Ouyang Xiao led the way.
“Hehe, just in time. I also have something to trade.”
“I wonder if there’s any good stuff here~”
A bright smile appeared on Ye Xuan’s face as he followed Ouyang Xiao to the large open space.
