Xiao Yi really couldn't listen anymore and interrupted the two of them.
Is the position of the head of the Xiao family so bad?
Don't want to be?
That's too much!
After hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lin fell silent, and everyone else also looked at Xiao Yi.
"I will also consider the matter of the head of the family carefully... In addition to Xiao Chen, Xiao Yu and Xiao Lin, what about you? Is there anyone else who is suitable?"
Xiao Yi looked around the audience and asked.
Xiao Mian looked at Xiao Sheng and Xiao Lin and said two names.
Xiao Bo hesitated, but after all he didn't dare to speak. He couldn't protect himself now, so why should he be the head of the family?
"Okay, I will think about it carefully. In addition... I feel that the Xiao family has reached a critical moment now. Taking one step may lead to heaven or hell, so it is necessary to convene a meeting of elders."
Xiao Yi thought for a while and said slowly.
"The fate of the Xiao family should not be decided by me alone. I cannot bear this responsibility... The position of the head of the family will also be discussed at the elders' meeting."
"Um."
Xiao Mian quite agreed with Xiao Yi's words. The Xiao family has indeed reached a critical moment and it is necessary to hold a meeting of elders.
"Xiao Mian, go and inform the people in seclusion that everyone should come out of seclusion."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Mian and said.
"good."
Xiao Mian was startled. Do even the people in seclusion want to come out?
However, he still nodded and agreed.
"Okay, that's it for today."
Xiao Yi stood up slowly.
"There will be a meeting of elders the day after tomorrow."
As Xiao Yi stood up, others stood up one after another and respectfully saw him off.
"By the way, Xiao Lin, come with me."
Xiao Yi paused and turned to look at Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, ancestor."
Seeing Xiao Lin and Xiao Yi leaving, everyone's eyes flashed, and everyone had thoughts in their hearts.
Xiao Sheng showed a smile, ignored the others, and left the meeting hall.
When he was the head of the family, he had to do some things, such as dealing with factions to avoid causing turmoil in the Xiao family.
But now...it's not necessary anymore, he is just Xiao Sheng, not the head of the Xiao family.
Do you really think he has no temper?
He has.
But in the past, the burden and responsibility on his shoulders were too heavy, and he had to suppress his temper.
After leaving the meeting hall, he looked in one direction.
Xiao Chen is right there.
He hesitated for a moment, but finally did not go over and turned around to deal with other things.
He didn't know how to face Xiao Chen, and he didn't know what to say when father and son met.
The most important thing is that there are some things that he has not yet thought about how to explain to Xiao Chen.
"Just wait a little longer. I no longer have responsibilities on my shoulders and I am free again. I can do some things."
Xiao Sheng muttered to himself and withdrew his gaze.
Not far away, Xiao Yi did not return to the place of retreat. Instead, he stood on a high place and looked at the destroyed white jade archway below.
Xiao Lin stood nearby, wondering what Xiao Yi meant by bringing him out.
"Back then, I was just like you. I was the pride of the Xiao family, unparalleled among my peers."
Suddenly, Xiao Yi spoke slowly.
"Back then, my ancestor...oh, let's call him that. He was quite ancient."
"..."
Xiao Lin was startled and looked at Xiao Yi, asking him what he was doing.
"Back then, his old man also liked me very much and said that I could lead the Xiao family to the top and make the Xiao family glorious...but I finally let him down."
When Xiao Yi said this, he pointed to the destroyed white jade archway below.
"Do you know why I built that archway back then?"
"I don't know."
Xiao Lin shook his head.
"Back then, I had great ambitions to build a white jade archway, hoping that it would witness the rise of the Xiao family, but I didn't expect...that it would be destroyed by the Xiao family's brats."
"Okay, I don't mean to blame him. Just destroy it. After all, I didn't let the Xiao family reach its peak, so this white jade archway... doesn't matter!"
Xiao Yi waved his hand.
"Xiao Lin, what I can't do, you think... can Xiao Chen do it?"
"able."
Xiao Lin nodded without even thinking about it.
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Yi turned to look at him and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Is that kid so much better than me?"
"Ahem, ancestor, that's not what I meant."
Xiao Lin coughed dryly, as if he was not giving his ancestor face.
"Forget it, I'm old. Compared with a young man, he is much better than me... You don't know how strong he is. I am indeed not as good as him."
Xiao Yi looked at the broken white jade archway again. There were children of the Xiao family cleaning it.
"You only think that he can compete with Half-step Xiantian. In fact... he is more terrifying than Half-step Xiantian, far beyond Half-step Xiantian! Even to some extent, he is already comparable to Xiantian."
Xiao Yi thought of Xiao Chen's endless realm and narrowed his eyes. Even he was afraid of it.
"Comparable to innate?"
Xiao Lin's eyes widened.
"If it's not a life and death battle, I don't want to fight him... He's in his twenties and has innate strength. I've never thought about it before, and I didn't dare to think about it! Haha, I didn't expect... There would be such a monster in my Xiao family.
ah."
Xiao Yi said with a smile.
"Ancestor, he...doesn't admit that he is a member of the Xiao family now."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Yi and said.
"He has the blood of the Xiao family. If he says otherwise, then he is not? Damn idiots. If it weren't for them, how could he be in trouble today?"
After Xiao Yi said it, he couldn't help but cursed a few times.
Xiao Lin remained silent. He knew who Xiao Yi was scolding, and he murmured in his heart that they were indeed damn idiots.
"He will return to the Xiao family. He will definitely...after a while, you can help me make an appointment with him and let him go to my place of retreat."
Xiao Yi said slowly.
"To your retreat?"
Xiao Lin was stunned.
"Yes, just him, he will come."
Xiao Yi nodded.
"Let's not talk about him for now, Xiao Lin, do you really have no idea about the head of the Xiao family?"
"improper."
Xiao Yi shook his head and said simply.
"..."
Xiao Yi was speechless.
"Some people may want to be, but in my opinion, it is a shackles..."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Yi and said.
"Brother, he...has been shackled by this shackles for more than ten or twenty years."
"Then when I want to remove this shackles for him, do you still have any objections?"
Xiao Yi said calmly.
"Um?"
Hearing Xiao Yi's words, Xiao Lin was startled and then his eyes widened.
"Ancestor, did you do this on purpose?"
"Over the years, the Xiao family has owed Xiao Chen and Xiao Sheng... It's time for him to be free."
Xiao Yi said slowly.
"Do you really think that I have been in seclusion for so many years and don't care about the Xiao family's affairs? I will also come out of seclusion, but you don't know it."
"ah?"
Xiao Lin was shocked, he really didn't know.
Even in the past, most people in the Xiao family did not know whether the ancestor was alive or dead, because the place where he retreated was also a forbidden place. Except for a few people, even the core children of the Xiao family were not allowed to go there.
"Although Xiao Sheng has not been able to make the Xiao family glorious in these years, it is already rare to be able to hold the seat of the Twelfth Family... The next head of the Xiao family must be very outstanding, very responsible, and have great talents and strategies..."
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Lin and said.
"Ancestor, I now believe that you often go out of seclusion, otherwise... you wouldn't know me so well."
Xiao Lin said to Xiao Yi.
Hearing Xiao Lin's words, Xiao Yi was startled, and then he couldn't laugh or cry. This guy... is very thick-skinned.
"Now I understand why you are so close to that boy Xiao Chen. You two are very similar!"
Xiao Yi smiled.
"If you don't want to be the head of the family, you can go ahead and cheat. No, you can do Xiao Chen's job and let him be the head of the family... As long as he does it, it will definitely not have anything to do with you."
"No, ancestor, what you said is a bit wrong, isn't it? That boy is excellent, but he is really much better than me?"
Xiao Lin couldn't help but said, what does it mean when Xiao Chen is the head of the family, nothing will happen to him.
"Hahaha, okay, go help me date that boy, let's talk about the head of the family's affairs later."
Xiao Yi laughed and was in a good mood.
"good."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Do you want him to go now?"
"Um."
Xiao Yi nodded.
"Okay, goodbye, ancestor."
After Xiao Lin finished speaking, he turned and left.
Xiao Yi looked at Xiao Lin's back and smiled even more.
"Ancestor... my Xiao family should be prosperous, what do you think?"
Xiao Yi muttered to himself, then thought of something and frowned again.
"In a time of great chaos, monsters will inevitably appear. Is what the old fortune teller said true? Ancestor... Who is that person you were talking about back then? Could it be the old fortune teller?"
Thinking of this, Xiao Yi's eyelids twitched wildly. If it was really the same person, then...it would be terrible!
"Old fortune teller, who are you?"
On the other side, Xiao Lin also came to see Xiao Chen.
"He didn't come?"
Xiao Lin was a little surprised.
"No."
Xiao Chen shook his head.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I thought he would come to find you."
Xiao Lin sat down.
"No, does he dare to face me? He doesn't dare."
Xiao Chen said calmly.
"Uncle Qi, how's your discussion going? How are you going to give me an explanation?"
"Don't call him an old man and you will die if you call him 'ancestor'? Calling him 'ancestor' will not make you suffer."
Xiao Lin glared at Xiao Chen.
"I suddenly felt that my ancestors were pretty good, even better than I imagined."
"Uncle Qi, you are too easy to be fooled. If someone treats you a little better, you will want to rip your heart out."
Xiao Chen curled his lips.
"Can a bad person have the word 'bad' written on his face?"
"Stop talking about useless things."
Xiao Lin was not angry.
"It was my ancestor who asked me to come to you. He asked you to go to his retreat to find him."
"I?"
Xiao Chen was startled.
"Yes, it's just you, and you alone."
Xiao Lin nodded.
"Why are you looking for me? You won't take the opportunity to do something evil to me, right?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"That's nonsense. If he wants to deal with you, does he need to use some dirty tricks? He's already killed you before."
Xiao Lin stared.
"I'm telling you, be polite when you meet the ancestor, understand? I can see that he appreciates you very much..."
"That's because I'm strong. If I was just the loser I was back then, would he still appreciate me?"
Xiao Chen curled his lips.
"this……"
Xiao Lin opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
"When I was a waste, in the Xiao family...you were the only one who was good to me, Uncle Qi."
