Chapter Ninety-Seven: I Changed My Mind!
Hearing Xu Ziyan's words, the faces of everyone in the hall became very ugly. Almost none of them had ever seen a five-grade talisman, but the coercion released from the talisman was even a fool who knew that this talisman was more powerful than the last time. Last time it was a three-grade talisman, doesn't that mean that this time it is at least a fourth-grade talisman? Thinking about this clearly, everyone's faces became more and more ugly. Just imagine, if there were no unreasonable demands from Xu Haoliang, wouldn't the Xu Ziyan in front of him be used by the family now? With such a strong help, wouldn't it be another guarantee for the family.
You must know that these people are all high-level members of the Xu family, and their children and grandchildren live here. If the Xu family is exterminated, then their children and grandchildren will also die without a doubt. At such a time when it is related to his own vital interests, he is a person in the same camp as Xu Haoliang, and he can't help but feel resentful about Xu Haoliang. At this time, everyone only thought about how to save Xu Ziyan's heart, so that she broke off the idea of leaving the Xu family, that is, no matter how much benefit they paid, they were also willing at this time. I didn't remember the anger they were at Xu Ziyan in their hearts just now, angry that she, as a junior at the first level of the Qi Refining Period, dared not to take these elders in their eyes. At this time, they felt that Xu Ziyan, who had such ability, should be like this, and he had the strength to be on an equal footing with himself and others.
As the patriarch of the family, Xu Haoran regretted it even more in his heart, regretting not stopping Xu Haoliang at the beginning. He recognized that the talisman released by Xu Ziyan was a top-grade five-grade talisman, and it was a full thirty, and with these thirty top-grade talismans, he could buy a small family. With these thirty top-grade talismans of five grades, Xu Haoran already felt that if the strength of the two families of Canglang City and Nanlin City alone, and the Huayang Sect did not intervene, the Xu family would already be invincible.
Looking at the five-grade top-grade talisman slowly rotating around Xu Ziyan, Xu Haoran's eyes were full of regret. He closed his eyes in pain, and when he opened them again, his gaze had regained its calm. He didn't talk to Xu Ziyan, but turned to look at Xu Haoliang, whose expression was constantly changing, and asked in a deep voice:
"Ninth brother, what do you say?"
"I ......"
Xu Haoliang's face was also constantly changing, and he had the intention to kill Xu Ziyan, but he didn't have that strength. And he also knew in his heart at this time, I am afraid that even those people in his own camp will not follow him and oppose Xu Ziyan at this time. First, even if they are willing to join forces with themselves, they may not be Xu Ziyan's opponents, and second, at such a juncture in the family, Xu Ziyan is undoubtedly a savior. Let them kill Xu Ziyan, who may save their children and grandchildren, regardless of the life or death of their children and grandchildren, if they are in their position, they will not agree.
Besides, he also has a son living here, Xu Ziyan is undoubtedly the hope that the family can survive. Thinking of this, Xu Haoliang also deeply regretted it, what did he do with that mouth? What is there to make the patriarch bother to work hard, what is he doing so strongly, in the end, he didn't say anything, and he was defeated on the spot by a junior in front of everyone. Who will follow him in the future? What else do you have to compete with your eldest brother? Alas, forget it, I raised my head to meet Xu Haoran's gaze, Xu Haoliang said bitterly:
"It's all up to the big brother"
Seeing that Xu Haoliang had no fighting spirit, Xu Haoran knew that he had lost the heart to fight for the position of the patriarch, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart. But his face was still solemn, and he nodded to Xu Haoliang. Then he turned to Xu Ziyan, and a warm smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said in a slightly reproachful tone:
"Yan'er, did you think about your parents when you made your decision? Do you want to let your elderly parents wander with you and have no fixed place to live? ”
"I can buy a house for my parents and some slaves to serve them." Xu Ziyan said without thinking.
"Yes, I believe you can do it with your ability. But what about their safety? When you leave home and go out to practice, who will keep them safe? Xu Haoran looked directly at Xu Ziyan.
Xu Ziyan was silent. She knew that Xu Haoran was right, in this world, strength is respected, and when she is not at home, her parents will become a piece of fat in the mouth of a robber. If the parents stayed in the Xu family, such a thing would not have happened, and it would indeed solve their worries. Silently, I heard Xu Haoran continue:
"Besides, even if you can solve your parents' safety problems, will your parents be happy?
"yes, will my parents be happy?" Xu Ziyan's heart twitched: "My father was forced to leave the family at the age of fifteen, and now he has finally come back openly, these days, the smile on my father's face is more than the number of smiles in the past ten years combined." ”
Xu Ziyan knew the status of the family in his father's heart. What my father has always wanted is to be able to return to the family openly, and now because of his own reasons, he can finally return to the family with his head held high, and no one in the family dares to despise him anymore, and since returning to the family, after the knot in his heart has been untied, his father's cultivation has also accelerated his improvement. If he wanted to leave the Xu family, would his father agree? Even if he agrees, will he be happy in the future?
"Yan'er, stay. It was just a misunderstanding just now, no matter how you say that he is also your ninth uncle, and he has the blood of the Xu family flowing in his body, do you want to worry about your elders? Your parents will be well taken care of in the family, and you have seen that they are very happy and happy now, do you want to break their happiness with your own hands? What's more, the family is not of no help to you at all, no matter what situation you encounter in the future, what situation you are in, there is a Xu family standing behind you"
Xu Ziyan sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that he had been persuaded by Xu Haoran. And because of the concern of his parents, Xu Ziyan did not want to completely break off the relationship with the Xu family until he had to do so. Now that I saw Xu Haoran's sincere words, Xu Haoliang over there had no momentum, and stood there dejectedly like a defeated rooster. And the rest of the family elders also looked at them one by one with that earnest gaze.
"Okay I'll stay"
Xu Ziyan put his hands together and withdrew the talisman wrapped around his body into the storage bag. looked at Xu Haoran with a calm face. When everyone heard that Xu Ziyan was finally willing to stay, they breathed a sigh of relief. There was a neat sound of "Huh~~" above the main hall
"But ......" Xu Ziyan said coldly, "I am still just a guest elder of the Xu family, and I will not become a disciple of the Xu family for the time being." I will live with my parents, and I will not go to the inner hall of the Xu family, nor will I go to your Xu family's library. Of course, in return for your Xu family taking care of my parents, I will help your Xu family defend against foreign enemies. ”
"That'...... How to make symbols? Xu Haoran naturally wouldn't mention the matter of the exercises again, but when he heard that Xu Ziyan didn't mention the talisman making technique he had just promised, he suddenly became anxious.
"That belongs to me, why do I want to give you the Xu family?" Xu Ziyan said coldly.
"But...... You just said yes."
Xu Ziyan stared at Xu Haoran, and said in his heart, are you embarrassed to mention it now? For a long time, until Xu Haoran was a little unnatural, he said coldly:
"I changed my mind"
Seeing what Xu Haoran wanted to say, Xu Ziyan interrupted him coldly, looked around at everyone and said:
"I think our top priority now is how to deal with foreign enemies, so let's discuss this matter."
"It's okay"
Xu Haoran knew in his heart that he could no longer force Xu Ziyan today, and could only slowly influence him in the future. Everyone set up the scattered chairs again and sat down, and Xu Ziyan also sat down on his own chair.
"Yan'er, I'm afraid you don't know enough about the details of the family's current situation, I'll tell you again here."
After the words fell, Xu Haoran carefully told Xu Ziyan about the current situation of the family and the strength of the family, and then described the plan discussed by everyone. The last thing he asked:
"Yan'er, what other good ideas do you have?"
Xu Ziyan thought about it for a while, now that he has decided to stay in the Xu family, and from the patriarch down, he has released kindness to himself, including Xu Haoliang, who no longer has to say much, Xu Ziyan naturally has to respond, so he said seriously:
"Uncle, I can't help you with those big things, but I can help the family in my own way."
"In what way?" Xu Haoran's eyes flashed, and he looked at Xu Ziyan hopefully.
Xu Ziyan took out the sixty fifth-grade top-grade talismans from the storage bag, stood up and walked in front of Xu Haoran, handed them to Xu Haoran with both hands, and said:
"This is the talisman given to me by the fairy who taught me the exercises, here are sixty sheets, I hope it can help the family"
"It's so good smoke, this is too helpful to the family"
Xu Haoran excitedly took over the talisman in Xu Ziyan's hand, could he not be excited? Five-grade top-grade talismans, this is not uncommon in the Xu family, but there are only five of them, which are passed down by the family as heirlooms. When he saw Xu Ziyan and Xu Haoliang fighting just now, he showed thirty fifth-grade top-grade talismans, and his heart was full of excitement in shock, thinking that if these thirty fifth-grade top-grade talismans Xu Ziyan were handed over to the family, how much strength would it bring to the family Now seeing that Xu Ziyan not only took out the five-grade talisman and handed it over to the family, but also handed over sixty talismans, how could Xu Haoran's heart not be excited? stood up directly and said loudly:
"Guys, I have something to say......"
