Chapter 71 - Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife

Chapter 71: The Pressure from the Tai Family, the Xiao Family's Support! "You're audacious!" Xia Changge's words made Tai Ming furious, his voice as thunderous as ever. Xia Changge remained unfazed. Instead, his voice was even more piercing than Tai Ming's. "It's you who's audacious, daring to break into my house and use violence. Are you asking for death?!" Tai Ming was actually taken aback for a moment. He had only smashed a table, yet this brat accused him of breaking into the house and using violence? This was Xiao family territory. If he really did that, he would definitely offend Xiao Yun, that woman. He also sensed the presence of several Qi Refining Stage cultivators at the Xia residence. And there was a first-grade spiritual weapon assisting them. If he were to take action, he wouldn't be able to defeat this guy in a short amount of time. Tai Ming was confident that Xiao Yun wouldn't dare to kill him, but if he fell into her hands, he would be in a miserable state, losing face, and it would greatly impact his future. "Alright, brat, you're really arrogant. Just wait to die!" Tai Ming suddenly understood that Xia Changge had no intention of handing over anyone. The previous words were just a tease? This made Tai Ming feel tremendously humiliated! He wanted to see where Xia Changge's confidence came from to confront the Tai Family like this! Actually, if Xia Changge had just made a surprise attack, he could have killed Tai Ming. But Xia Changge hesitated for a moment and ultimately decided not to do so. If he truly killed Tai Ming in his own residence, the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators of the Tai Family wouldn't be able to hold back and would personally take action. In that case, the danger level for Xia Changge would be very high. If he didn't kill Tai Ming, the Tai Family would at most treat him as an ignorant fool. Even if they targeted him, it would only be Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators and a few ninth-level Qi Refining Stage cultivators. This kind of pressure was something Xia Changge could handle. There was bound to be a conflict with the Tai Family sooner or later. Even if Xia Changge didn't bring back Li Na and Li You, it wouldn't necessarily result in a good outcome. Watching Tai Ming leave, Xia Changge also left the family mansion and headed to the Xiao Family. He intended to test the attitude of the Xiao Family. For this kind of matter, Xia Changge could only find Xiao Wan. He was still a subordinate family of the Xiao Family for now. When he met with Xiao Wan, Xia Changge intentionally wore a gloomy expression. Seeing Xia Changge's face, Xiao Wan actually took the initiative to ask what happened. Previously, Xia Changge had never looked so troubled. Xia Changge replied with a touch of bitterness, "Ah, Miss, as you know, a while ago, I brought back two spiritual root children from the Li Family's village. Who would have thought that Tai Ming would come today and claim that they were the ones they first set their eyes on? Not only did they ask me to hand over the two children, but they also demanded three thousand spirit stones as compensation! This Tai Family is so arrogant!" After hearing Xia Changge's words, a frown formed on Xiao Wan's forehead. "Is the Tai Family really that audacious?" Xiao Wan knew that the two children from the Li Family were brought back by Xia Changge and didn't belong to the Tai Family. Even if the Tai Family had made arrangements, the other party chose to hand them over to Xia Changge. The Tai Family actually had the audacity to cause trouble? And they even demanded compensation?! Xia Changge was a subordinate family of their Xiao Family! Pressuring the Xia Family like this meant that they didn't take the Xiao Family seriously. "That's not the main issue. Tai Ming's intention in coming here is to take away all the children under my care. He even plans to forcefully take away over forty children with spiritual roots at a price of ten spirit stones each. I don't know what the Tai Family is planning to do." Xia Changge revealed the most crucial point. With his current strength, even if he knew the Tai Family's weakness, it would be difficult to bring them down. Upon hearing Xia Changge's words, Xiao Wan pondered for a moment. That flaw the Tai Family revealed before their Xiao Family did make her suspicious. "If you believe it, we can take this opportunity to plunder part of the Tai Family's benefits and ease the urgent situation facing our Xiao Family. But... how certain is this situation?" The Tai Family could be described as powerful, and it wouldn't be easy to move them unless dealt a decisive blow. "There shouldn't be any doubts. It's just that we don't know the exact details, making it difficult to find evidence," Xiao Wan replied seriously. "What do you plan to do?" Xiao Yun looked at her eldest daughter and asked her thoughts. Rather than directly answering the question, Xiao Wan said, "If you believe it, let me handle this matter." Xiao Yun nodded, giving her answer. "Ah, the spiritual energy here is so dense. If I practice here, I'm afraid I'll reach the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage in less than half a month!" After Xia Changge accompanied the mother and daughter duo in discussing this matter at length, he reluctantly left. Unable to help himself, he couldn't help but sigh. Thank you, fellow daoists, for your support. This update counts as yesterday's. I'll try to do three updates today during the day! (End of this chapter)
