Situ Juntang's cold eyes swept over his son, daughter, and son-in-law.
He heard everything he said just now, and he also learned a thing or two about some of the things that happened during the period when he was still seriously ill.
Situ Juntang was very angry and disappointed. He did not expect that he would become seriously ill, but he would find out the dark psychology of these people.
The more this happened, the more Situ Juntang was grateful to Li Xuan.
Without Li Xuan's rescue, he could hardly imagine how far his granddaughter's fate would have fallen after his death, and the entire Situ family might even have been in ruins ever since.
Then isn't he a sinner of the Situ family?
"Father-in-law, are you okay?"
Chen Hong was the first to react. He rolled his eyes and beamed with joy, "Xiaoying and I just went to Xishan Temple to pray for you a few days ago. It really worked!"
Situ Ying also came to her senses, and said with a forced smile: "Father, you are the backbone of our Situ family, so nothing can happen to you."
Situ Jie and Situ Hao then rushed to say: "Father, we are worried about your health. Since you are fine, then everything is fine."
Situ Juntang looked at the false smiles on their faces and said lightly: "Thanks to Mr. Huo, I finally saved the day.
After a few more days of rest, he will recover."
"That would be great!"
The four of them tried their best to hide the disappointed expressions on their faces and kept talking.
Situ Juntang continued: "Thank you for your hard work during my illness.
Now that I'm fine, some things still need to be rearranged.
Only after I got sick this time did I realize that it was time for our Situ family to train some young people, and it was time for me, an old man, to take a break.
So I think there is no need to take special care of Xiaoying and Chen Hong in the medicinal materials business, and let Hanxing and Shuxing get familiar with them.
Xiaomei will take over the rest of the business..." He spoke slowly, his tone unquestionable, and in a moment he had deprived all four of them of their power in the family.
Situ Jie turned pale and said, "Father, what do you mean?
We are still young and can still do our part for the family..." Situ Hao also said: "Yes, father.
Xiaomei and the others are still young, so my second brother and I should still shoulder the heavy burden of the family!"
"I have another important task for you."
Situ Juntang said, "The trade route over the valley has been attacked by zombies recently. You go and deal with it.
There is also business over the Sancha River, please Xiaoying and Chen Hong to explore it."
"What!"
The four people suddenly changed their colors.
Isn't this just a disguised hair arrangement?
"Father!"
Situ Jie panicked, "Zombies appear frequently in the valley. I'm afraid it will be dangerous if I go there!"
Chen Hong also said in a panic: "Father-in-law, you can just send a few people to a small place like Sanchahe. You don't need Xiaoying and I to go out personally, right?"
"Didn't you just say that you would do your best for the family? Are you going to disobey me, the leader of the clan, so soon?"
Situ Juntang's voice became colder and colder.
The four of them were immediately speechless.
The Situ family has been able to survive for five hundred years, and the strict rules in the family are an important reason.
The patriarch has the greatest authority, and no one can disobey the patriarch's orders.
Situ Juntang was seriously ill and could not afford it, so the four of them dared to usurp power and ascend to the throne. Now that Situ Juntang has recovered, they dare not disobey orders no matter how much courage they have.
"This matter is settled, we will set off within three days.
Otherwise, the clan rules will serve you!"
Situ Juntang said sternly, "Okay, I'm tired and want to rest.
Xiaomei, send them away!"
The four of them left the villa in despair. There was no need to mention how much regret and despair they had in their hearts.
Li Xuan has been watching Situ Juntang's handling with cold eyes. As expected, everyone in the Xindao family is ruthless.
Not to mention those four people, just speaking of Situ Juntang's decision to kill, he was worthy of being the leader of the clan for many years.
After dealing with several unsatisfactory children, Situ Juntang came to Li Xuan and said respectfully again: "Mr. Huo, your kindness to rebuild the Situ family and your kindness to save my life is nothing to Situ Juntang."
It’s unforgettable and I don’t know how to repay you. Please accept my respect!”
As he spoke, he actually knelt down on his knees and made a big salute.
Li Xuan didn't stop him either.
It's fair to exchange life-saving grace for a big gift.
Unexpectedly, Situ Mei happened to come back and was shocked when she saw this scene.
"Grandpa, why are you kneeling to him?"
Situ Mei just felt incredible.
"Xiaomei, come and thank Mr. Huo too."
Situ Juntang not only knelt down himself, but also asked Situ Mei to kneel down too.
Situ Mei's face turned green, she pretended not to understand and turned her face away from Li Xuan.
Li Xuan smiled: "Forget it, Chief Situ doesn't have to be so polite. It's just a little effort."
Situ Juntang said with emotion: "For Mr. Huo, it may be just a simple effort.
For the Situ family and me, it is a rebirth of kindness.
In the future, whenever Mr. Huo has any assignments, as long as they do not violate the rules of our Situ family, I, Situ Juntang, will have no objection!"
Li Xuan thought for a while and said: "I really have something that I want to ask you for a favor.
Can you open the entrance to the bottomless corpse cave and let me go in and take a look."
"What!"
Situ Juntang did not expect that Li Xuan would make such a request and was stunned.
The bottomless corpse cave is the same as the Suzaku method of fighting. It is a secret that only the head of the Situ family or the heir to the family head can know.
Situ Juntang didn't know where Li Xuan learned about the existence of the bottomless corpse cave, just like he didn't know where Li Xuan got the Suzaku strategy.
In his eyes, Li Xuan was too mysterious and unpredictable! Situ Mei looked confused when he heard this: "Bottomless corpse cave?
What is that place?"
"I wonder...what does Mr. Fire want to do?"
Situ Juntang took a few deep breaths, calmed down and asked.
Li Xuan said: "It's nothing...if it's inconvenient, then forget it."
Situ Juntang hesitated for a moment: "It's nothing inconvenient... It's time for Xiaomei to go take a look.
After all, the responsibilities of our Situ family must be shouldered by young people!"
Just as Yunzun revealed in a drunken gaffe, the Situ family guards a huge secret that affects the life and death of Youzhou City.
Regarding this secret entrance, it is actually in the basement of the Situ family's mansion.
Situ Mei knew about the existence of this basement, but in her memory, her elders repeatedly warned her that she was never allowed to go near this place.
She still remembered that her younger brother Shuxing was naughty when he was a child and once used a knife to scrape the basement door. As a result, his butt was swollen after being discovered by his grandfather.
Now standing at the door of the basement, Situ Mei was extremely nervous, as if there was an inexplicable and dangerous world hidden at the door, waiting for her to open it.
"Click", the lock bolt jumped open, and the basement door slowly opened with a "crack" sound.
Behind the door is the basement that most people in the Situ family have never entered.
Situ Mei stood at the door and said blankly: "Grandpa, are you saying that the basement you told us not to enter when we were children is connected to a bottomless hole full of zombies?
Oh my god, why would our Situ family build our house in such a dangerous place!"
Situ Juntang sighed and said, "It's a long story..."
