Chapter 17 The Coming Night

Since Long Xiaoqi went to Duguyun's bedroom last time, he seems to be a little unhappy these days. He feels that he always thinks everything is so simple and naive. In this fraudulent society, in addition to interests, there are only ** naked interests left!

"Xiaoqi, I haven't been by your side in the past two years. You must have experienced a lot of things. When you grow up, I don't have to worry about you. I think your mother will be happy for you if she knows it." Long Zhanjun put his palm on Long Xiaoqi's shoulder and patted him gently. Originally, he had a lot to say to Long Xiaoqi, but when it came to his mouth, he couldn't say it. He knew that Long Xiaoqi had grown up and really grown up, and there was no need to nag about him every day like when he was a child.

"Ye! Father, I know. Don't worry, we will break through smoothly this time. Whether I am the selected person or not, I will take Dongfang Jie's life and avenge our Long family!" Long Xiaoqi said very firmly with a confident smile on her face.

"Ha ha, don't force anything, because only living happily can you have the capital to talk about other things. We must be ridiculed by the current herd. If you want to see the world clearly, maybe you won't have the current idea in the future. Long Zhanjun looked at Long Xiaoqi with a smile. Maybe they could really reach a new height because of Long Xiaoqi.

"I know father. It's okay. I won't think too much." Long Xiaoqi raised her head and looked at Long Zhanjun, indicating that she was fine. He didn't want the Long Zhanjun to worry about him. He always wanted to hide his grievances and show the best side to the Long Zhanjun, but how did Long Xiaoqi know that the Long Zhanjun was an experienced person after all. How could the Long Zhanjun not see Long Xiaoqi's mind?

"That's good..." Long Zhanjun raised his head and looked out of the window. Maybe he saw himself, maybe he saw Long Xiaoqi's future.

"Hello, Master Long, our patriarch asked me to inform you that we will arrive in the lobby at 8 p.m. tonight. The two deputy patriarchs of our Dugu family have come back, and there is something important to discuss with you in the evening. Just as the father and son sighed, a subordinate came in.

"Good! I know. Tell the patriarch Dugu that I will definitely be there on time tonight. After saying that, Long Xiaoqi waved her hand and signaled that the man could go down.

"Tonight? It seems that the answer is getting closer and closer. Long Xiaoqi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she had seen a very interesting thing.

"Xiaoqi, tonight must be discussing whether you are the person waiting for by the lonely family. I think all the elders will be present, so you must be careful tonight. Also, you have met those elders, and you should know their attitude towards you, but you haven't met those two deputy patriarchs, so you must beware of them and don't give them a chance, understand? Long Zhanjun analyzed the current situation for Long Xiaoqi little by little and reminded him to be careful of the two deputy patriarchs.

"Knowing my father, don't worry, I already know something about the Dugu family in my heart. I won't be stupid enough to conflict with them head-on." Long Xiaoqi has always been worried about the four elders in red, and he dares to say that Long Xiaoqi must have someone to support him in front of Duguyun. He is likely to be one of the deputy patriarchs tonight.

"Ye, that's good." Long Zhanjun nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Long Xiaoqi had really grown up and didn't need to tell too much before doing anything.

Night comes quietly...

The lobby of the Dugu family is already full of people, and there is a small table in front of everyone with delicious food. Duguyun, eight elders, sixteen flags, and two deputy patriarchs have all arrived, but only Long Xiaoqi is missing.

"Pfp, you have seen it! Our Dugu family gave him face to attend such an important meeting, but all of us arrived, and Long Xiaoqi was late. If he is not the chosen person, we can kill him directly, but if he is really the chosen person, then I'm afraid that our Dugu family will be really dark in the future, and everyone will live in deep trouble!" The four elders came to Dugu Yun and the two deputy patriarchs and whispered all this. I don't know why he just couldn't stand Long Xiaoqi's behavior.

"Ha ha, wait for a moment. If he doesn't come, I'm arresting him to plead guilty." Although the four elders thought their voices were very low, their loud voice that day was still heard by everyone present, and they all turned their eyes to the direction of Duguyun, and the reason why Duguyun said so was that it was a step down to Long Xiaoqi.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I'm late." As soon as Duguyun's words fell, another voice came in from outside the door.

I saw Long Xiaoqi standing at the door dignifiedly, with a polite smile on her face, straight, neither humble nor arrogant, and did not feel any tension because of the people in the lobby.

"Long Xiaoqi, you have a great face. You have let us wait for you for so long. The two deputy patriarchs have just come back. Do you have any dissatisfaction with them?" The four elders have quick eyes and mouths. Before others can react, they have no excuse for Long Xiaoqi's crime.

"Haha... The four elders are joking. How can I be dissatisfied with the two deputy patriarchs? Although I have not met with him, I have heard the people of the Dugu family mention their names for a long time, and I know that the Dugu family can achieve such achievements today by not only the Dugu patriarch, but also on the two deputy patriarchs. So in order to show respect, I have been thinking about what kind of clothes to change. As a result, I was late. I hope the two deputy patriarchs don't mind. After saying that, Long Xiaoqi stretched out her hands and arched a few times.

"Everyone in my Dugu family is not a baht. Xiaoqi can rest assured. Come in and I'll introduce you." With that, Dugu Yun stood up and waited for Long Xiaoqi to approach before continuing.

"This is the deputy patriarch of our Dugu family - Dugupo. The other is Duguhou, the deputy patriarch of our Dugu family. If you can't find me in the future, you can go directly to the two deputy patriarchs, and they will try their best to help you.

"Participate in the two patriarchs of Dugupo and Duguhou." With that, Long Xiaoqi bowed down and saluted the two of them.

"Ha ha, if the Long family can have a young man like you, it must be a long time to return to the head of the eight families!" Dugupo hasn't spoken yet, and Duguhou has spoken first. And his first sentence was the eight families. Although it sounded like praising Long Xiaoqi, everyone could hear that there was something in it.

"Thank you, Deputy patriarch Duguhou." Long Xiaoqi's face didn't change, as if she didn't care at all.

"Okay, your seat is over there. Let's sit down first!" After saying that, Duguyun clapped his hands, and then saw dozens of servants coming in at the same time, each with a golden plate in his hand.

All kinds of dishes and delicious dishes are available here, and they are inexhaustible. Although Long Xiaoqi hasn't tried some things, he didn't gobble it up, because he knew that there were more important things to come

Sure enough, halfway through the meal, Duguyun clapped his hands again and motioned everyone to be quiet.

"This time, we are not only here to welcome the two deputy patriarchs. Next, we have one more important thing that needs to be discussed with you." After saying that, Duguyun glanced around and saw that everyone was looking at him seriously, so he continued to talk.

"I think you may have understood this matter, which is related to the fate and future of our lonely family. A long time ago, we began to speculate that there is a person in this world who will be the person our lonely family has been waiting for thousands of years, and because of this person, our lonely family has the meaning of existence. Then we finally found this person through all kinds of exclusions, and this person is sitting in front of us now, but there is still one last step left about whether Xiaoqi is the selected person or not, and I decided that we will take the last step tomorrow. That is to say, the thousands of years of tasks in our Dugu family may be completed tomorrow. But before completing it, I need everyone's help. In order to better complete the task and better complete the mission assigned to us by our ancestors, each of you has to give a contribution. Dugu Yun's words were very infectious. Before he finished speaking, the eight elders and 16 flagmen below had already expressed their positions one after another.

"We vow to coexist with the lonely family. We will definitely do our best for the family's thousand-year-old mission. We are willing to go through fire and water for the patriarch."

"Good! Since you have such ambition, tomorrow, we will wait for a miracle. Dugu Yun said happily, and it seemed that he was very satisfied with the effect.

"Xiaoqi, no matter what, I need to thank you, and I can only ask you for everything tomorrow. Although each of us is trying hard, we are only guardians after all, so it's all up to you whether the Dugu family can complete the task tomorrow. Du Guyun turned his head and looked at Long Xiaoqi with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, the Dugu patriarch is not forced to do this, but I will try my best, as for other things! I hope the Dugu patriarch can remember the life of Dongfang Jie. I'm going to decide.

Hearing Long Xiaoqi's words, Duguyun's face also changed. He didn't expect Long Xiaoqi to say such words here.

"Xiaoqi, it seems that I didn't promise you about this matter." Duguyun was also a little unhappy and said with a calm face.

"Ha ha, you didn't promise me, but as long as I'm still alive, then Dongfang Jie's life is mine. Well, let's think about what we should do tomorrow! Let's talk about this later." Speaking of this, Long Xiaoqi opened the topic.

"Okay!" Duguyun is also a little helpless for Long Xiaoqi. Who needs Long Xiaoqi now? I'm afraid no one can do anything about him.
