C155 Antelope
"Tell me what a Antelope King Gate is." In a room with a dark aroma lingering around it, Ji Lei sat opposite Xiao Lingxue and asked word by word.
Hearing that, Xiao Lingxue let out a faint sigh, then said: "Originally, Xiao Family was the strongest family within the Dazzling Mist City, and there were two types of martial spirits within the Xiao Family. One was the Earth Breaking Vein, and the other was the Antelope Arch."
"Hmm? Is there only two? " Ji Lei looked at Xiao Lingxue in surprise: "Don't you have another Orchid King Bell?"
"That's because it's a variation and derivation of a martial spirit. In all of Xiao Family, I was the only one who owned a Orchid King Bell for hundreds of thousands of years." Xiao Lingxue replied: "The Antelope King Gate s are made from the power of Antelope Arch. Originally, the Antelope King Gate s were created with Xiao Family to test the strength of our family members.
"After that, Xiao Family became more and more powerful, and the Antelope King Gate gradually became the tool to filter out the talents of the entire Dazzling Mist City. People who are able to step over the Antelope King Gate, will also be considered by the Xiao Family as their husband."
"So that's how it is …" Ji Lei nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Xiao Lingxue, "Then what does Tang Hao mean by his words? Why was it that Gongsun Wuchang was the only one who could step over the Antelope King Gate? Is the Antelope King Gate so sad? "
"It's not just any sort of sadness," Xiao Lingxue replied: "Even if it's the entire Xiao Family, no one can step past this Antelope King Gate. Many years ago, Gongsun Wuchang inadvertently stepped past the Antelope King Gate, and at that time, the entire Dazzling Mist City was completely shocked. They all thought that Gongsun Wuchang was a favored child of heaven, and more and more experts came after hearing about this event.
"So that's how it is …" Ji Lei nodded his head: "But in Xiao Family, there hasn't been anyone who has stepped past the Antelope King Gate yet, so more and more people are feeling disappointed with the Xiao Family, and they all turned to the more hopeful Gongsun Family.
Xiao Lingxue nodded her head helplessly. As a member of the Xiao Family younger generation, her martial soul and strength far surpassed the disciples of other Xiao Family. But even so, she was still unable to step past the Antelope King Gate. This was Xiao Lingxue's greatest regret so far.
"This is rather interesting …" Ji Lei touched his chin and suddenly grabbed Xiao Lingxue's hand. "Can I try?"
"You want to try stepping over the Antelope King Gate?" Xiao Lingxue looked at Ji Lei in surprise, but Ji Lei seriously said to Xiao Lingxue: "If I can't get past the Antelope King Gate, there will definitely be a lot of gossip going on in Dazzling Mist City, saying that I'm trash that relies on the Yuwen Family Clan to show off my skills, furthermore, I don't want to be outdone by Gongsun Wuchang."
Xiao Lingxue was moved by Ji Lei's intentions. Although they both knew that Ji Lei wasn't some trash, but it was still more direct than words without any basis. Sometimes, being too low-key wasn't a good thing.
"Alright, then I'll go and discuss it with grandfather later. Although Antelope King Gate always have a specific opening time, it shouldn't be difficult to use courage once."
"Good girl." Ji Lei suddenly hugged Xiao Lingxue and gave her a kiss on the cheek. It made Xiao Lingxue's cheeks redden as she pressed her slender fingers against Ji Lei's chest. Her soft voice made Ji Lei's bones soften a little.
"I say, Xue'er, why don't we just bring the bridal room into yours?" Ji Lei said to Xiao Lingxue with a cheeky smile. When Xiao Lingxue heard this, her pretty face was filled with shyness. Her delicate hand pressed against Ji Lei: "No need!"
Although she had no resistance against Ji Lei, Xiao Lingxue still had to maintain her modesty as a girl.
"Why?" Ji Lei's expression changed as he pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Now, I'm your real husband!"
"You haven't even stepped on the Antelope King Gate yet, and you can't even be considered a husband with Xiao Family. And you're even considered a real husband?! Xiao Lingxue slapped Ji Lei coquettishly. Ji Lei was not discouraged by her words and became even more excited: "You mean, as long as I step over the Antelope King Gate, we can get married?"
"I didn't!"
"Alright, it's settled then! You're not allowed to go back on your words! "
"What did I go back on? Hey, come back here! I didn't promise you anything! "
Within the Xiao Family, there were two fragrant teas, a hall with four corners, and many guests.
The guests were all gathered within Xiao Family, and on the seat of honor for Xiao Family, sat the Patriarch of Xiao Family, Xiao Yao, and the already old General Yuwen Qiankun.
Xiao Yao looked at Ji Lei who was in front of him, and spoke as if he was reminding him: "You have to consider this carefully, crossing the Antelope King Gate is a very difficult task, I've tried it before, I almost couldn't get out."
Ji Lei stood in front of Xiao Yao, then solemnly nodded and said, "I have thought it through. To block some people's mouth, and also to prove that I am not weaker than Gongsun Wuchang."
When Xiao Yao heard this, he couldn't help but bitterly smile: "Why do you think you're so stubborn? You're already dead, why are you even bothering about him?"
Ji Lei only laughed, and then said: "Since there is no Gongsun Family, then isn't the hope that Xiao Family placed on Gongsun Family something that I should also be carrying?"
When Xiao Yao heard this, he said with some gratification: "You do have some sense of responsibility … Alright, in front of everyone here, I, Xiao Yao, declare that I will restart the Antelope King Gate tomorrow. If you really can make it over, then my Xiao Family will recognize you as husband! "
"And if not?" Ji Lei said with a sharp gaze and suddenly accelerated.
"If I can't …" Xiao Yao frowned, then went up and whispered a few words into Ji Lei's ear.
Everyone looked curiously at Ji Lei's reaction, but after Ji Lei finished listening, he only nodded and said: "I understand, thank you Xiao Family Master."
After that, Ji Lei could be considered to have settled down in Xiao Family, but people of Pill Martial City still had to return. Thus, after giving a few orders to Ji Lei, Liu Tie also bade farewell to Yuwen Family Clan and Elder Bai. Yuwen Mingzuo reluctantly touched Ji Hsing's head, then patted Ji Lei's shoulders: "Let's go!"
"Yes." Ji Lei nodded, he could not say his goodbyes, but in the period of time that he met Yuwen Mingzuo, Ji Lei had experienced many things, and he did not know when they would meet again. However, in his heart, Ji Lei would never forget, that after he left the Ji Family, he had met a good brother who was willing to pay with his life!
"If the Tian Qing Pill is successfully refined into Danyun, then we should make a trip back to the Pill Martial City." Before Elder Bai left, he patted Ji Lei's shoulder and said with a smile.
"I see." Ji Lei nodded.
"Kid, we're leaving!"
Ji Lei watched as the four of them left. Then, he turned around and walked out as well. Xiao Lingxue hastily followed Ji Lei.
"You can't bear to part with them?"
"Yeah, can't you see?"
"You almost cried!"
"No!"
"Right, what did my grandfather say to you just now?"
"He said that if I can't step over the Antelope King Gate, Xiao Family won't recognize my husband's identity, but I can bring you along and elope with me."
