Chapter 44: The Rift
"How can you guarantee that after joining the Yunlan Sect, if there is a conflict between the interests of the family and the sect in the future, you will stand on the side of the family? Although this is nonsense, and the family is not qualified to oppose such a behemoth at all, but this is just a hypothesis! Don't blame me for being a villain, I still want to ask you why you think that once that kind of thing happens, you will be on the side of the family. How can you prove it!" The Second Elder's face showed indifference, completely deprived of his former cordiality, and it was obvious that he did not believe in Xiao Yue's promise at all.
Although Xiao Yuebiao had to swear by it, he would not believe in this kind of thing when he was old, and the ghost knew if he would be able to remember these things after a few years and when the other party was cultivated by the Yunlan Sect.
You must know that the sect is different from the academy where people kidnap by favors, they have a special system of brainwashing methods, Xiao Yue may be very mature in their appearance, but after all, he is a child, and his mind at this age is not yet qualitative, and it is easy to be affected. Who can guarantee that he will not be completely brainwashed in a few years, what is the use of the expectations that the family has done at that time, and what is the purpose of the family's desperate efforts to cultivate him.
If it was an ordinary family disciple or an ordinary genius, they might not care so much, but Xiao Yue is different, he may become the only person who is expected to revive the family for hundreds of years, and all caution is necessary.
Xiao Yue's brows couldn't help frowning, he didn't expect this old guy to be so troublesome, at this moment he suddenly felt a little disgusted in his heart, why couldn't he trust him? Why didn't he let go? Maybe the other party valued the interests of the family too seriously, more important than him, even if he sacrificed his own potential.
"Then elders, patriarchs, are you asking me to come today, and then asking my opinion is just teasing me? Or is it actually that you have already decided to send me to Canaan Academy, and now you are just informing me formally?" Xiao Yue's tone was a little cold, he had already heard the doubts and toughness in the second elder's words, and knew that things might have gone in the direction he didn't want to go.
"Xiao Yue! we are indeed asking for your opinion, but after all, you are still young and can't see some things thoroughly, so you still need us to check for you, believe me, the family is also for your good!
You have a point, the Biqu Pavilion after you entered Canaan Academy is indeed inferior to www.biquge.info Yunlan Sect, but you also have to understand that gold will shine wherever you go, maybe you will indeed be as equal as everyone else when you first enter the academy, but I believe that with your talent, you will definitely attract everyone's attention and become the most eye-catching one!
Canaan Academy's wider sky is more suitable for you, you have to look farther, don't just look at the present!"
Compared with the elders, Xiao Zhan's tone was a little soft, quite serious, and his words did make the anger in Xiao Yue's heart disperse a lot.
But Xiao Yue will not regress because of this, although he needs the family very much, and does not want cracks in the relationship, and he is also weak in capital now, except for his outstanding talent, he really can't get rid of the family's protection and control.
But he doesn't want to be at the mercy of others, now he is no longer the obscure family child a year ago, at this time he has enough capital to make the top level pay attention, and some things are already qualified to fight. Maybe he doesn't even have the strength to protect himself, and he doesn't have the confidence to speak. But there is a limit to human patience. When someone or something threatens Xiao Yue's bottom line, he doesn't mind showing his toughest posture and revealing his sharpest minions.
At this time, the so-called question about his future whereabouts has become not as simplistic as it seems, this is a matter of principle, this is a question of position, and it is related to his future relationship with his family, who is the master, who is from!
"I'm sorry, patriarch, please don't say any more, I still decided to go to the Yunlan Sect, there are things I have to get, these things are not only related to my future growth, but also related to my life, I'm not sure if I can get this kind of thing at Canaan Academy, but I don't dare to bet, I don't want to delay, and I don't want to trouble!"
Xiao Yue let out his voice, hoping to turn according to his own wishes, instead of being at the mercy of others, he needs the family very much, but it is not necessary, it is a big deal to give it up, and take Zhao Yi to completely join the Yunlan Sect!
It's just that he doesn't want to take this step unless he has to, because there are still people in the family that he can't give up, such as his teacher, as well as his friends Xiao Li and Xiao Ding, these people who have unknowingly planted bonds.
When the words fell, the atmosphere in the whole room was instantly silent and depressing, and the three elders looked at Xiao Yue's gloomy face, they really didn't expect Xiao Yue to oppose their arrangement, and they showed such unexpected stubbornness.
Xiao Yue's expression broke their cognition, and they realized that the other party was no longer the young bird they had set up a year ago, but a young eagle whose wings had begun to grow hard and knew how to yearn for freedom and longing for the sky.
This makes them very uncomfortable, they attach importance to cultivating each other in the hope that the other party can contribute to the rise of the family in the future, but if the other party only knows how to blindly absorb the nourishment of the family, but is not under their control in the future, then what is the point of what they do!
"Xiao Yezi, is there no longer any discussion about this matter?" After a long time, the three elders with a relatively gentle temperament spoke, and his tone was solemn.
"No, I'm sorry Third Elder, I don't have to talk about this matter?" Xiao Yue looked at the gloomy faces of the three elders and said without backing down.
At the same time, he glanced at Xiao Zhan with apologetic eyes, he knew that because of Xiao Lin's relationship to ease, the other party was still very protective of himself, and tried not to let himself conflict with the family, but unfortunately it was going to disappoint him.
After hearing Xiao Yue's words, the Great Elder's face became even more ugly, and he stared at Xiao Yue fiercely, and a violent and cold aura spread from his body, making the atmosphere in the study even more dull.
With the strength of other people, they naturally wouldn't take his momentum to heart, after all, whether it was the Second Elder, the Third Elder or Xiao Zhan, the Great Dou Master, who was almost at the same level as him, naturally wouldn't feel how uncomfortable it would be. It's just that Xiao Yue suffered, under the momentum of the Great Elder, his face gradually turned pale, and some sweat droplets appeared on his head, but his eyes still stubbornly looked directly at each other.
"Hehe, it's really powerful, oops, I'm almost out of breath, is the Great Elder planning to overwhelm people with power?" Xiao Yue gasped, sneered, and asked with a fearless look at him.
Hearing Xiao Yue's words, the Great Elder's face suddenly turned purple, not only did he not retract his mountain-like momentum to Xiao Yue. Instead, he snorted coldly and increased his momentum.
"Hmph!" A chilling cold snort suddenly emerged from Xiao Zhan's mouth on the main seat, and the murderous intent quickly filled the entire room, making people faintly have an illusion, an illusion that turned the entire study into a battlefield.
In an instant, everyone's backs were cold, and even the momentum released by the Great Elder was stagnant in an instant, making Xiao Yue breathe a sigh of relief.
"Okay, three elders, since Xiao Yue is already so resolute, then don't force him anymore! Although we are high-ranking family members, we don't have any right to force any clansmen? Great Elder, don't be unreasonable, let alone be ashamed, don't forget your identity!"
Xiao Zhan retracted his momentum, looking at Xiao Yue's calm eyes with a faint gaze, with a hint of regret in his words, but there was more understanding, but it also made Xiao Yue feel even more guilty about him.
Hearing this, the Great Elder retracted his momentum with an unsightly face, pressed his back heavily on the back of the chair, and fell silent along with the Second Elder and the Third Elder. Although Xiao Zhan's move was very faceless, he was the head of the clan after all, even if the other party was so wanton, they couldn't help but consider his opinion.
At the same time, Xiao Yue also gasped fiercely after the Great Elder retracted his momentum, shook slightly, and stood up straight, even if his strength was not good, he had to show his tough posture.
"I'm sorry, Patriarch!" Xiao Yue bowed her head to Xiao Zhan and said apologetically.
The other party had done for himself today and had nothing to say, although he was embarrassed, but he already knew that the original close relationship between him and the family had formed a gap.
Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to the elders, and bowed solemnly to Xiao Zhan, and said indifferently: "If it's okay, then I'll leave first!"
Since there is no need to talk nonsense anymore, there is no need to stay longer, it is in vain to be an eyesore.
Looking at Xiao Yue's figure of turning around and pushing the door out, the Great Elder slowly closed his old eyes and sighed: "Maybe we were too self-righteous and whimsical at the beginning!" This also blames us for being too anxious and not thinking enough about it at the time, but now it's useless to think about it too much, let's think more about whether there is any other way to tie him firmly to the family, and the relationship between the old patriarch alone is not safe." ”
When the others heard this, they fell silent. After half a ring, Xiao Zhan glanced at the Great Elder and said hesitantly, "...... Xiao Yu doesn't seem to be a few years old about Xiao Yue! Maybe you can think about it......"
………………
"What are you talking about inside, are you okay?" Seeing Xiao Yue walk out of the study with an indifferent face, noticing his clothes soaked in cold sweat, Xiao Li's small face was nervous and hurriedly stepped forward, he also heard the movement in the house outside the door just now, he didn't know what was happening, but he also had a premonition, and he was worried outside the door for a while.
"It's nothing, but we may have to say goodbye soon!" Xiao Yue shrugged her shoulders and chuckled as if she didn't care. Regarding the problem between him and the family, he didn't want to talk to the other party more, and it would be useless to say it, so he could only make the other party worry more meaninglessly.
Looking at Xiao Li, Xiao Yue didn't expect that the relationship with this person he didn't value at the beginning would become so good, and he already regarded the other party as a brother in his heart, and he was also a little melancholy when he suddenly wanted to say goodbye.
"Yes! sure enough...!" Xiao Li lowered his head and whispered.
Seeing this, Xiao Yue patted him on the shoulder, glanced back at the study and shook his head, sighed lightly, and was silent.
"When it's time to leave... You don't need to tell us!" Xiao Li raised his head and grinned at Xiao Yue, and suddenly smiled.
"Hmm... Understood!" Xiao Yue was stunned, then nodded and smiled, and sighed in her heart: "I also hate saying goodbye!"
Walking out of the gate of the Xiao family alone, looking at the subordinates and clansmen who saluted and greeted him sporadically along the way, although Xiao Yue still maintained a smile on the surface, but in her heart she felt that people and things were very strange, just like when she first came to this world, she was at a loss, as if the whole world was a strange and nasty gray.
Suddenly, he thought of Zhao Yi, and couldn't help but sigh softly, he didn't know what was going on, recently, the other party's attitude towards himself has become more and more subtle, like strange, estranged, and there are some things that are incomprehensible, and he will no longer be doted on before, which makes him feel at a loss, and his heart is inexplicably dull.
At night, the black wings silently spread out and enveloped the sky, leaving only the waning moon to cast a dazed dim light on the earth. At the beginning of the lanterns, Xiao Yue did not go to the brightly lit avenue where people lived, but walked leisurely along the secluded path that was rarely visited.
I don't know when he suddenly began to like the feeling of being alone in the darkness of no one, he didn't know if it was simply because he wanted to be quiet alone, or because he hated all kinds of people except himself, but either way, it seemed to be lonely.
It's early autumn, the weather is cooler, and the cold wind makes people feel the breath of autumn. When passing by an artificial small bamboo forest, the breeze blew, the bamboo forest rustled, Xiao Yue stopped inexplicably, under the dim moonlight, the bamboo shadow swayed, like a phantom.
Stunned in the dark forest shadows, the faint breeze blew away Xiao Yue's soft long hair, flowing in all directions, and in the faint moonlight, it gave people a sense of loneliness and isolation. It's clear that people are standing there, but they give people a strange feeling of being out of place, as if they are rejected by the whole world.
Silently leaning on a thick bamboo, Xiao Yue suddenly couldn't help but clasp his shoulders with both hands, the temperature in early autumn didn't seem so cold, but he felt a chill that seeped into the bone marrow.
Looking up at the dark yellow waning moon in the night sky, his eyes gradually became trance-like, and he muttered with longing: "Dad, Mom, and sister, are you okay in the other world? Scold... Hehe...!"
It's obviously smiling, but it makes people feel lonely and sad inexplicably.
