Chapter 17 Support

To be honest, it is generally impossible to see the appearance of the Ye family's great elder. The usual elders' guild was led by the second elder and the third elder, and the eldest elder did not appear.

But at this time, at the family meeting held by the head of the family, the Great Elder appeared. This surprised a lot of people.

"Guys, take a seat. A majestic voice came from the inner sanctum.

Everyone who heard the voice understood that it was the head of the Ye family, Ye Xiang's voice. Everyone has found their own position, and Ye Xiao has long seen where his position is.

However, Ye Xiao's position was at the bottom left of the head of the family, and opposite was the position of the Great Elder.

When Ye Xiao sat down, he smiled at the Great Elder to show politeness. The Great Elder nodded slightly.

"I didn't expect the Great Elder to look so kind. Ye Xiao had only met the Great Elder a few times before.

"Huh?" Ye Xiao felt that someone was staring at him deadly, if it was an ordinary gaze, it would be fine, but it made Ye Xiao feel resentful.

As soon as Ye Xiao turned his head, he saw the stinky face of the second elder.

"Hmph, Ye Xiao, I want you to look good later!" The eyes of the second elder seemed to be able to speak, and Ye Xiao could easily see it.

After Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows provocatively at the second elder, he took care of himself, picked up the water cup in front of him, and drank it.

Ye Xiao didn't care if the second elder was angry or not.

"Hmph!" The second elder was angry when he saw Ye Xiao's words.

"Hello everyone!" Not long after, Ye Xiang, the head of the Ye family, had already walked out of the inner hall and nodded to the people present.

"This time, I unilaterally convened a family meeting, and I hope that the Council of Elders will be Haihan. Ye Xiang swept the members of the Council of Elders.

To be honest, the head of the family does not have the right to hold a family meeting in the face of non-trivial matters. Because of the intervention of the Presbyterian Church.

"Head of the house, tell the truth. If there's nothing particularly important, it's not good for you to call us like that. What Ye Xiao didn't expect was that the Great Elder didn't speak, and the Second Elder actually stood up like this.

"How is it the Second Elder?" some of the members in the hall couldn't help but exchange their heads.

"You know. Before even the head of the family could speak, someone came out to talk back. Tsk, silence is golden. ”

β€œ......”

As the head of the Ye family, Ye Xiang knew very well that if he unilaterally held a family meeting, someone would come out. But I didn't expect to come out so early. Of course, he could hear some of the people's exchanges, but he didn't care.

"Second Elder, I'm the head of the Ye family, right?" Ye Xiang said softly.

"When, of course. The second elder knew very well that when Ye Xiang spoke softly, it was the most panicked. Ye Xiang inherited the head of the Ye family back then, but it was not so easy to inherit. At that time, the Great Elder was also one of the candidates for succession. There is another one, and there is no news.

"The head of the family has the right to unilaterally convene a family meeting, right?" Ye Xiang suddenly changed his tone, and his voice became majestic.

"Yes, but only once. The second elder didn't know what he was doing just now, and suddenly he had the courage, as if he had suddenly stood up.

"Well, it's not the same later. Ye Xiang said in a different tone.

"The head of the family should explain quickly, why is there a family meeting?" The second elder seemed to have misunderstood, thinking that Ye Xiang had confessed. But he didn't pay attention to the expressions of the Great Elder and the others.

Ye Xiao couldn't understand his uncle's operation, and only felt that there was a trap. Ye Xiao glanced at the expressions of the important people in the hall.

The Great Elder, with a calm look in his eyes, took care of himself. The third elder, with a smile on his face, sensed that Ye Xiao was looking at him, and nodded. Aoki Guard, the commander of the guard, had some doubts in his eyes, but he didn't show much of it.

As for the second elder, in Ye Xiao's eyes, he is a fool.

"Since the Second Elder asked, I'll talk about it first. Ye Xiang sat in his seat, his face a little pale.

"First of all, I tried to break through the retreat, but I didn't achieve my desired goal. I'm very sorry for the Ye family. Now in Fengming City, the Rao family's power is expanding very rapidly. As far as I know, the Xie family has secretly attached itself to the Rao family. Ye Xiang broke the news at this time with two major news.

"Fortunately, Ye Xiang didn't break through, it should have been a success. At this time, the second elder heard Ye Xiang say that he didn't break through, and he was secretly happy.

"What! The Xie family has returned to the Rao family?!" The hall immediately became noisy, and they all expressed their opinions.

"Don't make noise!" Ye Xiang shouted.

It seems that some people feel that Ye Xiang has not broken through, so they can ignore it. Ye Xiang glanced around and secretly made up his mind.

"Family Master, is this news true?" the Third Elder asked.

"Naturally. The Rao family is secretly wooing the Yang family, once they succeed, the next target will definitely be the Ye family!" Ye Xiang said this, which was so believable.

Because of the heart of the Rao family, Fengming City knows it. They want to be the only masters of Fengming City.

"Well, that's good. Some people couldn't help but say this.

Ye Xiao looked at everyone calmly, among which the Great Elder, the Third Elder, and the Great Commander were the most calm, as if they had already known.

"This is the first thing, the Ye family must now muster up the spirit of the twelve, keep an eye on the movements of the Rao family, and the defensive array must be checked well......" Ye Xiang issued a series of instructions.

"Of course, you must first settle inside. When Ye Xiang said this, the faces of some people in the hall changed.

"Before, the young master of the dignified Ye family was calculated by others and lost his cultivation, and this matter must be investigated. Ye Xiang looked at Ye Xiao and said.

Ye Xiao knew best that his cultivation had plummeted, and it should not be someone else's calculation. However, the Red Skull plan encountered later included Ye Xiao. In this way, what Ye Xiang said also has a little truth. Of course, the most important thing is that this is Ye Xiang supporting Ye Xiao!

"This, no wonder Young Master Ye Xiao lost his previous cultivation, it turned out that someone was calculating our Ye family. "Someone is figuring it out.

"Does the head of the family know that Ye Xiao easily defeated the grandson of the second elder, and even slapped the second elder?"

As soon as these words came out, Ye Xiao couldn't understand the Great Elder.

The Great Elder said again: "Listening to what the head of the family said, Ye Xiao has lost his cultivation, so how did he recover his cultivation? As far as I know, when Ye Xiao did not say that he had lost his cultivation, it was impossible for him to fight with the second elder who was the early stage of cultivation in the Divine Sea Realm. So how did he do it?"

When the Great Elder said this, the hall suddenly fell silent. This is already obvious.

When Ye Xiao heard the Great Elder say this, his eyes shrank slightly. This is aimed at Ye Xiang and Ye Xiao.

"Yes, then how did Ye Xiao do it?" At this time, the second elder jumped out again, and at this time, he didn't seize the opportunity and targeted Ye Xiao fiercely, so when would it be?

Ye Xiao stared at the Second Elder, and then at the Great Elder. Obviously, the Great Elder was an old fox. Ye Xiao remembered that the Great Elder had competed with Ye Xiang for the position of the head of the family before, could it be that he still didn't give up? As for the Second Elder, this was a foolish criticism.

"The Great Elder asked a good question, so let me answer you. Ye Xiang looked at Ye Xiao, turned his eyes to the Great Elder and said.

"Ye Xiao was originally a first-class genius in Fengming City. At the age of fifteen, he broke through to the True Yuan Realm. Just ask the surrounding cities, are there any such early?" Ye Xiang asked rhetorically.

Ye Xiang continued: "Many years ago, some people had one thing openly and one thing secretly. After so many years, I still can't get rid of this habit. Just like when I was in retreat to break through the late stage of the Divine Sea Realm and reach the peak of the Divine Sea Realm. Someone is poisoning!" Ye Xiang said, his eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness. "If it weren't for some coincidence, I'm afraid I'd have already been tricked. I seriously suspect that Ye Xiao was also poisoned, but fortunately there is an antidote. ”

"What? The head of the house was poisoned in retreat? How is this possible?" Except for a few people in the hall who were not surprised, they were all incredulous.

Ye Xiao didn't know that Ye Xiang's retreat was actually plotted by someone. In this way, there must be spies within the Ye family! Ye Xiao glanced at the people in the main hall, except for the Great Elder, including the Second Elder, they were all surprised for a moment.

"Grand Commander, tell me about the security in the mansion?" Ye Xiang shouted to the Grand Commander in charge of the Ye family's guards.

"Family Master, at present, the Ye family is in danger. The Grand Commander bowed.

"Be detailed!"

"Let's not talk about the loss of cultivation of Young Master Ye Xiao first. Some time ago, in the public area outside the courtyard of Young Master Ye Xiao, there was a malicious murder incident, and the Aoki Wei around Young Master Ye Xiao was transferred. The Grand Commander glanced at Ye and smiled, "This is my dereliction of duty." At first, we thought that the murderer was the Aoki Guard's internal archery guard, but later, through the interrogation of the herald guards of the Second Elder's lineage, we found that the Second Elder might be suspicious. ”

"Nonsense, how is that possible? I have no reason. The Second Elder interrupted the Grand Commander's speech, his face flushed with explanation.

"Second Elder, don't worry. The Grand Commander waved his hand and signaled, "Although the deceased all belong to the second elder's grandson, Ye Yan's servant, this does not rule out the suspicion of the second elder. After our judgment, the murderer must be the hunting guard of the Rao family!"

"Hunting Guard?!" the Second Elder originally wanted to explain, but when he heard the Grand Commander talk about Hunting Guard, he couldn't believe it.

"Of course, I seriously suspect that the hunting guard went through a secret passage. The Grand Commander looked at the Second Elder with suspicion.

"Don't talk so nonsense!" the second elder immediately denied, "If it were me, how could I still lose to Ye Xiao in the training ground?"

When Ye Xiao heard this, he was also a little puzzled.

"Young Master Ye Xiao, do you have any views on the murder scene?" the Grand Commander suddenly asked Ye Xiao.

"Iβ€”what should I think? I'm not there. Ye Xiao spread his hands, looking innocent.

Nonsense, Ye Xiao couldn't even say that he was at the scene when he was killed. Otherwise, I will be a little unable to wash it, and I will drag Ye Xiang down. However, to be honest, Ye Xiao admired the intuition of the Grand Commander.

"Okay, that's it. Great Elder, take a look, are these people in the same group as the people who poisoned me and Ye Xiao?"

"The head of the house laughed, how do I know if they are in a gang. However, what the head of the family said was that it must be strictly investigated. For the ambition of the Rao family, we should be more vigilant. The Great Elder stood up and said calmly.

After hearing these words, Ye Xiao already understood that this great elder was an old fox.

Ye Xiang looked at the Great Elder meaningfully, "Okay, since the Great Elder supports my decision. So, do your own thing and actively cooperate with Aokiwei's investigation. That's it, adjourn!"

"Yes!"

"Ye Xiao, you stay. Ye Xiang beckoned to Ye Xiao.
