With the guidance of the little guy, the two finally saw the three people sitting in the hall and drinking tea leisurely. When the three of them saw Xiao Quan coming here, they hurriedly got up and saluted: "I've seen the head of the family." ”

Xiao Quan smiled and said, "My own people, don't be so polite." Sit down, sit down. ”

The three of them were originally a little apprehensive, and with Xiao Quan's words, they dissipated a lot. When the three of them saw Xiao Qizhen, the relaxed expressions on their faces were tense, but the three of them didn't say a word and looked at each other, which made Xiao Qizhen, who was sitting on the side, dissatisfied.

Xiao Quan saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and already knew the general idea in his heart, so he took the lead and said, "I don't know why the three elders came here in person? Could it be that there is something important in the family that needs to be explained and decided with me face to face?"

Song Huaian said with a smile: "It's nothing else, it's just that I heard that the second son was injured, and the three of us old guys had nothing to do, so we rushed to take a look, and we also specially brought the healing elixir Tianhua Dan, hoping to help one or two." As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized red sandalwood box from the Qiankun bag, and what was placed in it should be what he called Tianhua Dan.

Xiao Quan said with a smile: "There are three people who are worried, and when he is healed by Ping'er, he will come to thank him." Then he instructed the little guy behind him to put away the red sandalwood box. "Anything else?"

In the face of Xiao Quan's questioning and Xiao Qizhen's constant hints, one of the elders named Si Jingrong said slowly: "Family Master, in addition to visiting Xiao Ping's nephew's illness this time, the three of us also heard about something, so we came here to check with you. ”

When Xiao Quan heard this, he didn't answer directly, but picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "You heard that I invited the high priest of the Qinghe Cui clan, right?"

"Exactly. We were shocked to hear the news, so we wanted to hear your thoughts. Although this matter is to treat my nephew's injury, we as senior uncles should not have stopped it, but now there is a rumor in the family that you have given up a lot of interests in the family in order to invite the high priest to come out. It's unsettling!" Si Jingrong said slowly.

Before Xiao Quan could speak, Xiao Qizhen, who was sitting on the side, retorted: "What is there to say about this? The head of the family, as the real power controller in the family, does he have to explain what he has done to report to the family? Moreover, this matter is to save people, and the injured person is my own nephew, the second son of the head of the family, and the future controller of the business." I support this matter, both from the family and the head of the family personally. Although you have no children, you do have a disciple, and if one day he needs treatment, will you sit idly by? In any case, whether it is as a father, or Ping'er's uncle, or an elder of the firm, I am very much in favor of the decision of the head of the family. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, especially Xiao Quan. The words spoken by this seventh brother are righteous and awe-inspiring, and they seem to really help themselves. But in fact, he pushed himself to the forefront, no, the hot-tempered Elder Ye Tianxin stopped doing it.

"Elder Xiao, you can't say that. First of all, we didn't say that we shouldn't treat Xiao Ping, we have all seen Xiao Ping's growth and contribution in the past ten years, as an elder, how can there be no reason not to save it? What we are discussing now is the relationship with the Qinghe Cui clan. This Qinghe Cui clan and my Lanling Xiao clan are old enemies, how would they be so kind to help us? If it weren't for some benefits, how could that Cui Bai let his high priest go out? Now it is rumored in the family that the head of the family has harmed the interests of the family for the sake of his own lineage, and we have come here this time to understand the situation, but to think about how to solve the matter. Wouldn't you push us to the land of wolf hearts and dogs when you say that?" Don't look at Ye Qianxin, this elder is thin and weak, but he doesn't have a lot of voice when he speaks.

Xiao Quan knew that in the next order, it was time for him to speak: "Everyone, don't be impatient. I can understand your feelings. Although I am the head of the family, I am in a hurry and did not give a clear explanation to everyone in the family, and I apologize to all of you. But then again, I did go to invite the high priest for the sake of my son's life. However, what happened is not quite what you imagined, and as for the details, I will not say, only the result. All of you here can rest assured that I did not invite the High Priest at the expense of the family, but in my personal name and have nothing to do with the family. ”

Song Huai'an said: "Family master, this matter is not something that can dispel other people's doubts with a statement. Even if we don't pursue it, we don't know if others have no doubts in their hearts. To put it mildly, you have done this too hastily. ”

The other two were also silent when they heard this. Although these three are not members of the Xiao family, they have been subordinate to the Xiao family since hundreds of years ago, and they can be regarded as their own family. And the status of these three is not low, although they are not as good as Li Yunhe and Li Mingyu, but their strength is still not to be underestimated.

Xiao Quan looked at Song Huai'an and smiled, "I wonder if Elder Song can do anything to dispel the doubts of others so that my family can be at peace?"

Song Huai'an laughed: "My pig brain, what can I do, but I just said what I thought." Please don't be surprised. ”

Xiao Quan said: "You are thinking about the interests of the family, how can I blame you for this?"

Xiao Qizhen said: "Elder Song, don't worry too much, we are all for the family, how can the head of the family blame you." But with all due respect, the head of the family, this matter is not trivial after all, and it is still necessary to come up with a definite solution. Our Xiao family and the Cui family are old enemies, and there is also a relationship between Yu Hui and there, which is even more incompatible. In the past few hundred years, whenever the children of the two families meet, they will break their heads and bleed, and even lose their lives. You know that, too. Now that you are suddenly in contact with the Cui family, it is really resentful. Could it be that these hundreds of years of struggle have ended because of this, and how can the lives of those disciples in the clan who have lost their lives be compensated?"

These righteous and awe-inspiring words made Xiao Quan's heart like a raging wave, and he was angry. This guy really didn't have a good heart, I'm afraid he was not only worried about the rights of the firm, but also the position under him!

"Please also ask Brother Qi to teach you how to do it. Xiao Quan looked at Xiao Qizhen with some displeasure.

But Xiao Qizhen didn't answer and drank tea by himself, but the elder Si Jingrong spoke: "As the head of the family, you have to bear the responsibility for this matter. If we say how to deal with it, we can't say anything, so let's leave it to the ancestors. However, as Elder Xiao said, from a personal point of view, I don't have much to say about what you have done, even if you lose some benefits, if you can save your nephew, it will not be too much. ”

Xiao Quan snorted: "You have convicted me of my guilt in just a few words, which is really happier than the law enforcement elders." Open the ancestral hall and let the elders of the clan come to judge me? What a good idea you have in mind. ”

"How can the head of the family talk like that? We are also thinking about you and the family. Once the matter spreads, it can't help but be a matter of internal stability, as well as external prestige, which will be greatly reduced. Ye said in his heart.

"For me, for the sake of the family, you can tell you, I have not lost the interests of the family, but you don't believe it, what do you want me? Is it just because I am the head of the family, do you want to watch my son die in front of me?" Xiao Quan roared in a low voice.

"Head of the house, don't be impatient. The three elders are just discussing countermeasures, how to solve the problem, not doing anything arrogant. The three elders have been in my Xiao family for many years, and their contributions to the clan are even more visible, so how can they damage the interests of the family. Xiao Qizhen said.

Xiao Quan snorted: "According to Seventh Brother's words, I, the head of the family, will harm the interests of the family?"

"What are you talking about? I have been helping you to speak from beginning to end, and I am even more mediating among you, so as not to embarrass you. Now you're arranging me the other way around, it's chilling. And I also heard that you plan to let other clansmen go to that dangerous place to pick what kind of medicinal herbs?If something happens to those clansmen again, can you afford it?" Xiao Qizhen retorted.

"What? You still want to send someone there? What is this for? Is it the high priest's suggestion? I just said that she is not so kind, and she still helps us, it is all nonsense! He Cui just wants to destroy our living force so that he can swallow us up in one fell swoop! Such a simple conspiracy, why can't you see it?" Ye Tianxin said.

Xiao Quan looked at these faces and sneered in his heart. It turned out that this was the elder he had worshiped for many years, and it was really extraordinary.

"That's right, I've called someone here, and I'll be there in the afternoon, and I'll arrange for them to go again in search of an antidote. Xiao Quan said, "But these people are in this vein, so I don't have to worry about a few." ”

"Who are they?"

"Xiao Rong, Xiao Xuan. ”

"No! I don't believe it! These two people are the future stars of my Xiao clan, how can they easily set foot in a dangerous place. As an elder, I am against this. Ye said in his heart.

"I'm against it!"

"I'm against it too!" Song Huai'an and Si Jingrong agreed.

Xiao Quan snorted: "One of these two people is my daughter, and the other is my disciple, as for their deployment, I'm afraid it's not your turn to worry." ”

"Where do you say that put our elders? Although these two belong to your disciples, these two people are also the treasures of my Xiao clan, and they are the backbone of the Xiao clan. With such a character in danger, how can we sit idly by?" Ye Qianxin opened his mouth to obstruct.

Song Huai'an said: "Family Master, please don't blame Elder Ye for this, we all see his heart for the Xiao family, although there is a collision between the words, I still hope you can understand." ”

"Yes, family master, you have to think twice!" Si Jingrong agreed.

Xiao Qizhen looked at the three of them like this, and said himself: "Alas, family master, I know that your intentions are good, but the opinions of the three elders represent the views of many elders. And you have been friends with Senior Brother Yu for many years, if you feel resentful because of this, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses? Then you also know the strength of Senior Brother Yu, he plays a role like a needle in the sea in my Xiao family, and there are even rising stars such as Gong Yan under his command. If it weren't deliberately concealed, it would be more than Kunlun Izumoko. Once such strength is reversed from the Xiao Clan, it will be a huge loss for us. ”

Xiao Quan watched these three pressing step by step, and finally took Yu back to talk about it, what should not be done for a while. Although he has absolute rights as the head of the family, if he loses a lot of money, he can't afford to do so.

When the four of them saw the little dog's expression frozen, they knew that there was a turning point on their side.

"Head of the house, think twice!"

Xiao Quan waved his hand, his eyes were slightly closed, and it was dark in front of him. Thinking of his son, who was still recuperating in the ashram, he felt guilty. If so, he will never forgive himself for the rest of his life, and how will he account for his wife underground after death?

Just as he was in a dilemma, someone walked in from outside the door.

"The head of the Qi family, the elders, there are people outside the door who ask to see you. ”

Xiao Quan was in the mood to deal with it, but Xiao Qizhen next to him said, "Who is it? ”

"Elder Hui Xiao, the person who came said that he was a member of the clan, and he had something important to ask to see the head of the family. ”

As soon as Xiao Quan heard it, he knew that it was Xiao Rong and Xiao Xuan who had arrived. If that were the case, he could have put off something and then cut it off. As for the rest, I'll talk about that later.

"Let them in. Xiao Quan said.

Soon, three people walked in from outside the door, in addition to Xiao Rong and Xiao Xuan, there was also one person, Gong Yan.

"Meet the head of the house, meet the elders. ”

Seeing Gong Yan, Xiao Quan felt a little apprehensive in his heart. When the High Priest was first invited, he managed to leave Huizhi, and now his great disciple is here, what does this mean?

When the other four saw Gong Yan, they were secretly happy in their hearts, and they all looked at Xiao Quan: See what happens to you next?
