Eat Little Almonds

Chapter 206 Ghost Mountain, Family Gathering

"Do you want to die?"

Tang Lan's eyes flashed with killing intent.

"This is the Tang family. Do you believe I can wave my hand, and the next day your corpse will be lying silently in some stinking ditch in Kyoto?"

"I beg you, quickly throw my body into the stinking ditch. It's been my dream since I was little." Qiao Yu transformed into a sarcastic person, not giving Tang Lan any face.

"You!"

Tang Lan was so angry that her soft breasts heaved continuously, but she didn't dare to really do anything to Qiao Yu.

She had seen Old Master Tang's attitude towards Qiao Yu just now.

Thinking of this, Tang Lan quickly changed her strategy.

She straightened her body and leaned against Qiao Yu, two soft mounds pressing against Qiao Yu's arm.

"Brother Qiao Yu, just tell me, okay~"

Tang Lan's face turned very red. This was the first time she had been so close to a boy since she was a child.

Of course, the last time she had a close encounter with Qiao Yu's fist didn't count.

Qiao Yu was also startled by Tang Lan's sudden action.

What's going on with this woman? Why is she suddenly using a beauty trap?

"Brother Qiao Yu~" Tang Lan hugged Qiao Yu's arm and gently shook it.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Qiao Yu quickly pulled his hand away. If he was shaken by Tang Lan like this again, he probably wouldn't be able to write anymore.

"Your grandfather didn't say anything, just told me to go and participate in this year's family conference."

"That's it? You agreed?" Tang Lan asked.

"I agreed. I'm such a warm-hearted person." Qiao Yu patted his chest.

Tang Lan looked suspicious, obviously not quite believing Qiao Yu's words.

Qiao Yu didn't bother to explain to Tang Lan. He directly sent Wan Lihao a message about his leave of absence, and also notified Ma Fei and Yang Xiangdi, so they wouldn't worry.

Recovering his memories was the most important thing for him right now. The family conference was about entering the Ghost Mountain dungeon to seize an item. The Mechanical Empress also said that the Ghost Eye was in Ghost Mountain.

So, could the thing to be seized at the family conference be the Ghost Eye?

Time flew by in a flash, and three days passed.

During these three days in the Tang family, Qiao Yu could be said to have had everything handed to him, and he thoroughly enjoyed what it felt like to be a rich second generation.

Early on the morning of the fourth day.

The sky was just beginning to dawn, and the Tang family members were already gathered at the gate.

There was no other reason, only because today was the day of the annual family conference!

As one of the four major families in Kyoto, the Tang family naturally had to attend.

However, the Tang family members had already gathered, but Tang Wumou, the person in power of the Tang family, showed no intention of leaving. Instead, he sat leisurely on a chair, closing his eyes and resting, as if waiting for someone.

When the Tang family members saw that Tang Wumou hadn't spoken, they naturally could only wait along with him.

After waiting for a long time, a young figure finally arrived late, holding a steamed bun in his mouth.

Everyone was shocked. Wasn't that the new son-in-law, Qiao Yu?

The person the old master had been waiting for for so long was actually him? And he hadn't sent anyone to urge him along the way?

It seemed that Qiao Yu's position in the old master's heart was even more important than they had imagined...

Many Tang family members secretly made up their minds, warning themselves not to offend Qiao Yu in the future.

"Young friend Qiao Yu, I've been waiting for a long time!" Tang Wumou smiled kindly, "Now that young friend Qiao Yu has arrived, let's set off!"

Qiao Yu nodded, didn't say much, and silently followed the Tang family's team.

The group entered the Inner World and soon arrived in front of the Black Tower.

In front of the tower, there were four areas divided, three of which were crowded with people, while only the area on the far left was empty.

"Oh? Your Tang family really has a big air about you, insisting on dragging it out until the grand finale?"

As soon as Tang Wumou and his party arrived, they heard a teasing voice.

Qiao Yu looked towards the sound and saw an old man slightly younger than Tang Wumou speaking. He was gently stroking his goatee, looking at Tang Wumou coldly.

"Xiao Tian Ce, if you're not convinced, you can start a war." Tang Wumou's tone was cold, full of murderous intent.

"Humph! After this family competition, I'll see how your Tang family can maintain its position among the four major families!"

Xiao Tian Ce didn't take up Tang Wumou's words. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Tang family's younger generation was lacking, it didn't mean that the Tang family could be manipulated by anyone.

If he started a war with the Tang family now, even if his Xiao family could win, they would be greatly injured.

"That's none of your business." Tang Wumou led the Tang family members and occupied the leftmost area.

At this point, the Qin, Tang, Xiao, and Ji families.

The four major families of Kyoto had officially gathered in front of the tower in the Inner World.

At the same time, there were many first-class families on the periphery, watching the Tang family members with covetous eyes.

None of them didn't want to take down the Tang family and replace them in this family conference.

On the Qin family's side, Qin Qianxue looked at the Tang family's team with some doubt.

The back of one of the people inside looked very familiar to her, but she couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

"Aunt, what's wrong? What are you looking at?" Qin Xuan leaned over and asked.

"It's nothing, I saw wrong."

Qin Qianxue shook her head. How could that person be mixed into the Tang family's team? The two were completely unrelated.

An old man with slicked-back white hair walked to the front. He was a referee specially invited by the three major families, and also an important figure in the Kyoto officialdom - Jin Yixiu.

"Now that everyone is here, let's prepare to start this year's family conference! Please, the elites selected by each family, step forward!"

According to the rules of the family conference, each family would send five geniuses under the age of 20 into the Ghost Mountain dungeon.

Qiao Yu took a step forward, and with him came the other four young people from the Tang family.

The other families also sent their own geniuses.

Qiao Yu looked towards the Qin family and indeed saw Qin Xuan's figure.

Qin Xuan was also staring wide-eyed at this time, with an expression of disbelief.

How could Qiao Yu appear in the Tang family's team? He had investigated Qiao Yu, and Qiao Yu had nothing to do with the Tang family at all!

Qin Qianxue also covered her red lips in surprise.

"Xuan'er, what a coincidence, we meet again."

Qiao Yu grinned at Qin Xuan and even greeted him.

Qin Xuan's face was as black as a dirty rag, so he simply turned his head away, out of sight, out of mind.

He was really afraid that Qiao Yu would come out and say in front of everyone that he was his uncle-in-law.

He believed that the guy named Qiao Yu could definitely do such a thing.

At this time, the Xiao and Ji families also noticed Qiao Yu, a new face.

In their previous investigations, the Tang family didn't seem to have this person at all.

"Alright, if there are no other questions, let's prepare to enter the dungeon." Jin Yixiu waved his hand, signaling everyone to move forward.

At this moment, Xiao Tian Ce immediately asked a question.

"Wait! I have a question!"

He pointed a finger at Qiao Yu.

"I suspect that this person is not from the Tang family at all!"
