The Xiao Household had heard from rogue cultivators that a Xu Clan Trading Company had appeared in Moon Lake Commandery.

Only after making inquiries did they learn something of the Xu Household.

As it happened, Xiao Changyuan had once served as an immortal official in Qingjiang County and knew something of the Xu Clan's history before its rise.

He was now in the late seventh layer of Qi Refining and ranked among the Xiao Household's elders, attending most deliberations, great and small.
