The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Chapter 562 Xie Family Steward

Chaoyang City is the ancestral home of the Xie family.

It can be said that at least 60% of the cultivators hit by a handful of spirit stones thrown from a height are surnamed Xie.

The remaining 40% are not surnamed Xie, but they have intricate connections with the Xie family.

It was the right decision for Yun Yici and the others to bring Xie Guanxuan along; wherever they went, people would make things easy for them.

Not only were they exempted from the city entrance fee without being questioned upon entry, but their lodging and food in the city were also completely free.

All these privileges were due to the life token that only members of the Xie family could possess.

The group found a restaurant with a good view and settled in.

To avoid Xie Sanshen being exposed due to the distance, Rong Xuan attached a wisp of her spiritual consciousness to the puppet silk.

Rong Xuan sat in the room with his eyes closed, concentrating on manipulating the puppet. He needed someone by his side.

Everyone wanted to find a place to talk, so they all gathered in his room.

Lin Yu was still agonizing over the "privileges" they had received along the way, wondering, "Aren't they afraid that someone will kill the Xie family members and then sneak in with a life token?"

Xie Qianjue observed the expressions on the faces of the pedestrians on the street and explained, "It's not worth risking your life for such a small gain."

"I think the Xie family takes the matter of impersonating someone else's identity and bloodline extremely seriously."

Xie Guanxuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, those who impersonate others shall die."

"These restaurants and eateries all belong to the Xie family."

"Those traveling merchants from outside the area preferred to trade directly with the Xie family's shops for the goods they brought."

Lin Yu asked curiously, "If you can eat and drink for free in Chaoyang City, why do you still stay in Wangyou City with your Daoist partner to suffer?"

Xie Guanxuan: "Fellow Daoist, you may not know this, but I am only able to return to Chaoyang City because of the family trial."

“If you stay in the city for more than three months without a reason, you will be expelled by the city guards.”

Lin Yu slapped her thigh: "I've got it! You can stay in the city for two months and twenty-nine days, leave on the last day, and then come back into the city at the beginning of the next month, right?"

Xie Guanxuan looked completely bewildered: "This... will it work?"

Yun Yici: Are you trying to exploit a bug here?

As everyone was talking, Yun Yici suddenly said, "Silence."

Then, there was a knock on the door, and a male voice came from outside: "Is Xie Guanxuan here?"

Xie Guanxuan: "I'm here. Who is this?"

The male voice said again, "I am a steward of the Xie family, and I have come to register you."

"I wonder if you've come to participate in the family trials, or to congratulate the young master on his wedding?"

Yun Yici and the others exchanged glances. Look, they had only been in the city a short time when the questioning had already begun.

Xie Guanxuan got up and opened the door, and Yun Yici could also see the man outside the door.

He was dressed in black, his face expressionless, only displaying a stiff, businesslike demeanor.

Xie Guanxuan handed his identity token to the man.

"I have come for the family trial."

The man took Xie Guanxuan's identity token, recorded it, and then looked at Yun Yici and the others in the room.

“Fellow Daoist, Chaoyang City is not a place for leisure, nor is it a place for the Xie family to stay. Staying here for too long may endanger your life.”

Shen Huaichuan chuckled: "They are old acquaintances from back then. The Xie family once came to my house as guests without being invited. Now I am just returning the favor."

Xie Qianjue's eyelids twitched, and he stepped forward to block Shen Huaichuan's view.

"Fellow Daoist, my ancestors were also from the Xie family, but I came from the countryside and do not have this identity token. I wonder how I can participate in the family trial?"

The man raised his eyelids and sized up Xie Qianjue, then said meaningfully, "Bloodline verification: those who are not of the direct lineage cannot live."

"You have to think clearly."
