"No need, we have no intention of joining the Xiao clan." At this moment, Ye Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.
In fact, he had already guessed that there should be some people who were closely related by blood to his mother in the Xiao clan.
However, Ye Chen did not intend to recognize them.
Because there was no emotion at all between him and them.
As the reincarnation of the God Emperor, he is no longer bound by blood ties.
In this world, only feelings can restrain him.
"Who are you?"
The white-haired old man couldn't help but ask.
"Grandpa Zeng, this is my brother!"
Ye Zixi smiled slightly.
"What? You have a brother!"
The white-haired old man couldn't help but be shocked, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Ye Chen.
However, when he saw that Ye Chen's cultivation was only at the Tiangang realm, he suddenly felt disappointed.
You know, when his granddaughter was as old as Ye Chen, her cultivation had already entered the human infant realm.
But Ye Chen now only has the Tiangang realm.
This kind of cultivation talent is really too bad, and he has not inherited the advantages of his granddaughter at all.
However, no matter how you say it, Ye Chen is still his great-grandson.
Therefore, although the white-haired old man was extremely disappointed in his heart, he did not show it.
"Alas! His talent is so poor, even if the clan leader is really willing to let him return to the Xiao clan, he will definitely be laughed at by others.
Why, my granddaughter is so talented, but she gave birth to such a mediocre son!"
The white-haired old man couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The survival rules of their Xiao clan are extremely cruel.
Those without talent, no matter how extraordinary their origins are, will not be valued by the Xiao clan.
Not to mention, Ye Chen's mother has been expelled from the Xiao clan.
Therefore, even if Ye Chen really returns to the Xiao clan, there is no way he will have any future.
"I just don't know, what is this child's talent like?"
With a thought in his mind, the white-haired old man began to investigate Ye Zixi's cultivation level.
"Human, human infant state! Oh my god! Am I dreaming?"
The next moment, the white-haired old man suddenly trembled, his eyes rounded to the ground, filled with a look of disbelief.
You know, Ye Zixi's age is only sixteen or seventeen years old.
However, her cultivation level has actually reached the human infant state.
This is simply a miracle.
"Even my granddaughter didn't have such a strong cultivation level when she was sixteen or seventeen years old.
But she can already be regarded as a rare talent that is rare in the Xiao clan for thousands of years.
But this child is better than her predecessors. If she can grow up smoothly, her future will be limitless."
The white-haired old man's expression was extremely excited, and his whole face turned red. He looked at Ye Zixi as if he were looking at a piece of peerless jade.
"Grandpa Zeng, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Zixi said with a puzzled look.
"Nothing! Good boy, I will take you into the palace now."
The white-haired old man suppressed the excitement in his heart and smiled kindly at Ye Zixi.
The next moment, he took Ye Chen and Ye Zixi and walked towards the palace.
He was originally worried that the Xiao clan chief would not accept Ye Chen and Ye Zixi.
But now, he saw hope in Ye Zixi.
If the leader of the Xiao Clan knew that Ye Zixi's talent was even more powerful than her mother's, he might develop a love for Ye Zixi's talents and let her return to the Xiao Clan.
By then, their lineage's status in the Xiao clan will definitely rise with the tide.
As for Ye Chen, although his talent is very poor, with the protection of Ye Zixi, a peerless monster, others should not dare to embarrass him.
Therefore, at this moment, the white-haired old man really wanted to report this news to the Xiao clan leader immediately.
…
Soon after, Ye Chen and Ye Zixi were brought to a magnificent hall by the white-haired old man.
This main hall has long been filled with distinguished guests, and a large number of dignitaries gathered to attend the birthday banquet.
Moreover, these big shots are also divided into different levels.
The closer a person is to the interior of the hall, the higher their status is.
The further out people go, the lower their status is.
Even so, they are far beyond what ordinary people can compare with.
"grandfather!"
At this moment, a handsome middle-aged man suddenly walked over to the white-haired old man with a respectful expression.
However, when his eyes fell on Ye Zixi's face, his whole body felt like he was being shocked by electricity.
"Who are you? Why do you look so much like my sister?" the middle-aged man said with a trembling voice, looking like he had seen a ghost.
"Huang'er, she is your sister's daughter! You must receive her well. I have a very important matter to go to the clan leader."
The white-haired old man quickly warned the middle-aged man.
Whoosh!
The next moment, his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.
"What? My sister's daughter?"
The middle-aged man stood frozen on the spot, unable to react for a while.
"Are you my uncle?"
Ye Zixi looked at the middle-aged man with curiosity and smiled slightly at him.
Even she didn't expect that she actually had an uncle.
"Like, you and Xiaohui are so similar! By the way, where is Xiaohui? How has she been doing these years?"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but sigh, his eyes full of longing.
"Alas! My mother disappeared when I was very young, and I don't know where she went."
Ye Zixi sighed.
"How could this happen? It's all useless to me. I can't even protect my own sister."
There was a buzzing sound in the middle-aged man's mind, and he looked extremely remorseful.
His name is Xiao Huang, and he is Xiao Hui's elder brother.
Since their parents died when they were young and they depended on each other for life, they had a very deep relationship.
Originally, his sister was extremely talented and had an unlimited future, which was his greatest pride.
However, as fate would have it, his sister ended up being expelled from the Xiao clan because she offended a big shot in the Holy Realm.
But with his average talent, he could only watch all this happen, but he could do nothing to stop it.
This also became the biggest pain in his life.
And now, he heard the news that his sister was missing, which for him was just adding insult to injury.
"Uncle! Don't be sad, we will definitely get my mother back."
Ye Zixi saw Xiao Huang's grief-stricken look and couldn't help but comfort him.
Although this was the first time she met her uncle, she felt very fond of him for some reason.
Perhaps it's because her uncle is one of the few relatives she has in this world.
"Well! I just lost my temper. Today is the clan leader's birthday banquet. Let's have a good chat after the birthday banquet."
Xiao Huang suppressed the grief in his heart, brought Ye Chen and Ye Zixi to a table at the outermost edge of the hall, and invited them to take a seat.
The guests sitting here have the lowest status among those attending the birthday banquet.
Even Xiao Huang felt very sorry.
But there was nothing he could do. Ever since his sister was expelled from the Xiao clan, his status in the Xiao clan had plummeted.
If he can let Ye Chen and the others sit here, it's already great.
"Xiao Huang, who are they? Why have I never seen them before? Could it be that you used your power for personal gain and deliberately arranged for them to come in?"
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears, with a tone full of mockery.
The person who spoke was a young man in fine clothes. His brows were full of coldness and arrogance. He looked at Xiao Huang as if he were looking at a bereaved dog.
"Damn it! It's Xiao Zhen." Xiao Huang's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
