Chapter 1051: The Beginning Of The Immortal Family (I)
Li Ximing waved his hand. "Weizeng, I have important matters to discuss with the Daoist Master. Wait at the foot of the mountain."
Naturally, Ding Weizeng agreed and followed Xiao Ruyu down. Though the man was formidable, his reputation was limited to Jiangbei. He had never seen much of the greater world and behaved very cautiously in front of the Xiao Family.
Li Ximing ascended to the main peak of Xianyou, arriving once more at the deep pool. This time, no snow covered the summit. The stones were clear and well-defined, with a serene and delightful scenery. By the poolside, the old man was not fishing but seated and drinking tea.
"Zhaojing greets the Daoist Master!" Li Ximing paid his respects and stood before the table.
Xiao Chuting still carried that same unhurried air as he said, "There is no need for formality."
This formal visit was unlike his previous attempt to build ties. A pot of pale yellow high grade tea rested on Xiao Chuting's table, rippling with spiritual energy. Li Ximing took a small sip. Though it offered little benefit to a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator, its fragrance was rich and lingering.
Li Ximing paused slightly and spoke in a quiet voice, "Senior... this Jiangbei cultivator who practices the Hengzhu Dao lineage, does he harbor any hidden schemes?"
When Xiao Chuting refused to let Ding Weizeng ascend the mountain, Li Ximing's first thought was that something was amiss.
Doubt stirred in his heart, yet the old man shook his head and said hoarsely, "Was this man pushed forward by Si Boxiu?"
Li Ximing seemed to grasp something and immediately recounted what had just happened.
