Invincible Over the World

30: Chapter 30: Leaving Huang Family Manor 30: Chapter 30: Leaving Huang Family Manor Huang Qide and Huang Ming, when they arrived outside the small courtyard, were stopped by Fei Hou, who let Huang Peng enter.

The faces of Huang Qide and Huang Ming were embarrassed, and although they wanted to be angry, they dared not show it.

Huang Ming forced a smile and said to Fei Hou with a grin, “Senior Fei Hou, we are here with no ill intentions.

We just want to speak with Xiao Long about something, just something.”

Fei Hou, looking at Huang Ming’s forcibly contorted face that was uglier than a corpse, remained unmoved and continued to block the way.

At that moment, Huang Peng stepped forward and said to Huang Xiaolong, “Xiao Long, do you see, should we?”

Huang Xiaolong nodded to Fei Hou, who upon seeing this gesture, stepped aside.

Huang Qide and Huang Ming relaxed, both smiling and nodding in thanks toward Fei Hou, especially Huang Ming, who was exceptionally respectful.

They walked into the small courtyard and approached Huang Xiaolong.

“What have you come here for?” Huang Xiaolong asked indifferently.

“I recall this is your first time in this courtyard, isn’t it?”

Since Huang Xiaolong could remember, his grandfather Huang Qide and Huang Ming had never visited this small courtyard before.

The faces of Huang Qide and Huang Ming reddened slightly with embarrassment.

Fortunately, as it was slowly getting dark, outsiders couldn’t notice it.

“Xiao Long, your grandfather and your uncle have come to invite you to the annual banquet,” Huang Peng interjected, speaking for both Huang Qide and Huang Ming.

At the Huang Family Manor, after the annual end-of-year competition and exchange, a family banquet is held the next evening, which besides the elders of the Huang Family Manor, only the best three generations of disciples can attend.

Last year, since Huang Xiaolong had defeated Huang Wei, he should have been invited to last year’s banquet.

However, no one notified him to attend, but Huang Wei, who was defeated by Huang Xiaolong last year, was allowed to go.

This was similar to last year when the Spirit Pond was opened for cultivation, and the qualification was given to Huang Wei instead.

“Yes, yes, Xiao Long, we’ve come to invite you to the banquet,” Huang Ming quickly followed up and said, smiling as if Huang Xiaolong was the Great Manor Master and he was merely a disciple from the Huang Family Manor here to extend the invitation.

Huang Qide, although he did not speak, was also beaming brightly.

Both the Old Manor Master Huang Qide and Great Manor Master Huang Ming inviting one person to attend the banquet concurrently?

In the more than forty years since the establishment of the Huang Family Manor, only Huang Xiaolong had received such an honor.

However, Huang Xiaolong’s expression was cold, “No need, I need to continue my cultivation.”

The smiles on the faces of Huang Qide and Huang Ming stiffened.

“Xiao Long, you!” Huang Peng, seeing this, blurted out anxiously.

“It’s alright, Dad, you know my temperament,” Huang Xiaolong interjected.

Huang Peng didn’t know what to say and could only give a bitter smile inwardly.

This son of his, sometimes was so stubborn.

Once he decided on something, even he and his wife could not make him change his mind.

At this point, Huang Qide gestured to Huang Peng and then sincerely said to Huang Xiaolong, “Xiao Long, I know that Grandpa was wrong before, that Grandpa was biased, and I was at fault, but I hope you won’t hold a grudge against Grandpa.

Whatever your demands are in the future, as long as you make them, Grandpa will agree.”

Huang Xiaolong remained indifferent.

He knew that his grandfather Huang Qide had personally come to invite him to the banquet and had repeatedly humbled himself and been accommodating, all because Huang Xiaolong had displayed remarkable talent and because he had a Tenth Order Late Stage Peak warrior, Fei Hou, following him.

Otherwise, why would Grandpa Huang Qide go to such lengths?

Huang Xiaolong remained silent.

Seeing this, Huang Qide was not annoyed but instead sighed inwardly and asked, “I heard from your father that after the New Year, you plan to go out and gain experience?”

Huang Xiaolong glanced at his father, Huang Peng.

Just as Huang Peng was about to speak, Huang Qide continued, “Don’t blame your father, I heard it unintentionally.” At this, his tone changed, “Xiao Long, Grandfather doesn’t ask for your forgiveness, Grandfather just hopes you know that no matter when, Grandfather and Huang Family Manor always welcome you back, Huang Family Manor will always be your home!”

Huang Qide, with an extremely gentle expression, took out a jade bottle, “This is a Fourth Grade Spirit Pill, the Dragon-Tiger Primordial Elixir, that Grandfather had an alchemist make years ago.

It’s extremely helpful for enhancing Combat Energy Cultivation.”

Upon seeing this, Huang Ming was startled.

The Dragon-Tiger Primordial Elixir was a Fourth Grade High Stage Spirit Pill, extremely rare; Dad had treasured it for more than a decade and was now actually giving it to Huang Xiaolong!

A Fourth Grade Spirit Pill?

Huang Xiaolong hesitated for a moment, then took the jade bottle.

Seeing Huang Xiaolong accept the Spirit Pill, Huang Qide’s smile was brilliant, as if it wasn’t he who gave Huang Xiaolong the Fourth Grade Spirit Pill, but Huang Xiaolong who had given him one.

However, just as his smile was at its brightest, Huang Xiaolong suddenly handed the jade bottle to Huang Peng, “Dad, take this Dragon-Tiger Primordial Elixir for your cultivation!”

Huang Qide’s radiant smile vanished instantly, and both Huang Ming and Huang Peng were equally stunned.

“Xiao Long, this—” Huang Peng had just begun to refuse when Huang Xiaolong waved his hand and said, “Dad, you’re at the late-stage peak of Sixth Rank now, you need this Dragon-Tiger Primordial Elixir the most.

No need to say more, take it.” After saying that, he pushed the jade bottle forward.

Huang Peng, looking helpless, could only accept it.

At that moment, Huang Xiaolong turned back to face the now-smileless Huang Qide and said, “Since you’ve given me this Dragon-Tiger Primordial Elixir, I’m giving it to my dad, you don’t mind, right?”

“Hehe, no objections, it’s all the same, your dad cultivating with it is the same.” Huang Qide forced a smile and spoke, his face smiling but his heart bleeding—it was a Fourth Grade High Stage Spirit Pill, treasured by him for more than a decade!

A while later, Huang Qide, Huang Ming, and Huang Peng left the small courtyard.

In the end, Huang Xiaolong did not attend the annual feast that year.

The annual feast was held at the front hall of Huang Family Manor, bustling and noisy as previous years, but the smile on the seated Huang Qide’s face didn’t taste quite right.

While the front hall was lively, Huang Xiaolong sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed in his room, circulating the Asura Technique, continuously devouring the Nine Netherworld Dark Energy falling from the void.

By now, Huang Xiaolong had cultivated the Asura Technique to the second level.

According to the diagram, after cultivating the Asura Technique to the highest level, one could open the Asura Gate and enter the Asura World, though he didn’t know if this was true or false.

Two days quickly passed, and the New Year arrived.

This New Year, the East Hall was livelier than in previous years, filled with joy.

Huang Xiaolong spent it in the East Hall with his parents, sister, and brother, the whole family full of laughter and cheerful voices.

Because Huang Xiaolong knew, after the New Year, the next time he would see his parents, sister, and brother would be a year later.

The New Year passed.

The next day, Huang Qide, Huang Ming, all the elders of Huang Family Manor, and the steward all stood in the square outside the gates of Huang Family Manor, all just to bid farewell to Huang Xiaolong.

“Xiao Long!” As her son was about to embark on a journey, Su Yan’s eyes were red, and she hugged Huang Xiaolong tightly, “Out there, you must take good care of yourself.”

“Mom, I know.” Huang Xiaolong’s eyes were also red, and then he turned and left with Fei Hou.
