Ten years have passed in a snap of a finger, in order to continue to break through to new realms, Xiao Yu has eaten countless treasures of heaven and earth, and the Xiao family has long been unable to bear it, although under the leadership of Xiao Yu over the years, the Xiao family has been dozens of times stronger than before, but it is still far from enough.

"Great Elder, haven't you found all the materials I want to refine the 'Nine Transformation Pill'?" Xiao Yu's voice carried a hint of transparent coldness.

The Great Elder looked bitter, as if he had been old for decades, "Patriarch, each of these medicinal materials is a thousand-year-old medicine, the Xiao family has done their best, but they haven't completely found it yet, and I hope the patriarch can give some time." ”

"Grace, the big war between us and the Huo family will break out at any time, I heard that Huo Zhanyun doesn't know where to invite a six-star broken sect, if I don't break through quickly, the Xiao family won't be able to protect it at that time." ”

"Patriarch, I know, I will do my best to urge the children of the clan to find medicine and refine it as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Yu stroked his white palm, "It's better to be like this." ”

"Master, the old lady invites you to go. ”

"Tell my mother that I'll be right away. ”

"Mother, what are you looking for me?"

Xiao Yu's mother seems to be forever young, and after so many years, she is still like twenty.

"Yu'er, has everything been okay with the family recently?"

"Mother, why do you suddenly care about this, everything is fine in the clan. ”

"Really...... But why is it different in my eyes, although the Xiao family looks prosperous, but the lives of many people in the clan are very unsatisfactory, many families have no men in the family, only women live with children......"

"The Xiao family has had a lot of disputes in recent years, and-" Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, "Mother, did the Great Elder look for you?"

"Yu'er, you will always be so smart, but you have become a little unknown to your mother, you used to know how to be grateful, good at humble retreat and self-reflection, but look at you now, you only have yourself in your eyes. ”

Xiao Yu frowned, "Mother, everything Yu'er does is for the family, for the sake of the family, I have worked hard to expand the industry, I have worked hard to cultivate, and I have made so many enemies......"

"Yu'er, you keep saying that you are for the sake of the family, but do you really get better and better when you look at the current Xiao family? Although the Xiao family has stood higher, it is in exchange for countless costs, and there are still a few Xiao family members who really feel happy, if the people of the Xiao family themselves do not feel happy, even if the Xiao family becomes better in your eyes, what is the point. ”

Xiao Yu was stunned for a while, and countless pictures suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Just be a good person, how can others understand your efforts, when they say those words, how can they not only see themselves, how can they remember the glory you brought to them in the first place, and the pain you endured in order to bring these glory to this family. When you led them to glory, they supported you, and when the family was in trouble, they forgot how you did your best to maintain the pillar of the family, how such a person is worthy of your protection. ”

The voice that had disappeared for many years sounded again, Xiao Yu closed his eyes, and recalled the scenes over the years.

"Patriarch, the old lady said, you have been bothering too much recently, let me bring you this cup of 'Clear Heart and Bright Eyes Tea'. ”

Xiao Yu looked at the girl who was only eleven or twelve years old in front of him, and his heart softened, "What's your name." ”

"Patriarch Hui, my name is Xiao Huan. ”

"Xiao Huan, I don't think I've seen you before. ”

Xiao Huan's head was very low, "Patriarch, I was recently brought back by the old woman, my father died while fighting with the Huo family, when the old lady went to visit my family, she saw that our family was in a bad situation, so she brought me back and served her closely." ”

Is this the case? Over the years, it seems that more and more people have died, and I have never thought about condolences to anyone, but I didn't expect my mother to do all this for me in secret.

"How many people are left in your family?"

"In addition to my mother, there are two younger brothers and a younger sister, and the two elder brothers were killed when they were collecting 'dragon and phoenix grass' the year before last. ”

"What!" Xiao Yu's heart shook violently, "Dragon and Phoenix Grass" was the medicinal herb he used when he broke through the first star of the Broken Sect, and he was anxious to limit the time at that time, but he didn't expect that there was such a story behind it.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Huan quietly, "Xiao Huan, do you hate me?" I asked your brother to pick the 'Dragon and Phoenix Grass', and it was also me who started the battle against the Huo family, if it weren't for me, your father and brother would not have sacrificed." ”

Xiao Huan shook her head vigorously, "Don't hate, my mother said, the patriarch is a genius that the Xiao family has never met in a hundred years, and it is you who make our lives better, but many things are involuntarily, and if you have gains, you will have to lose, not only me, everyone in the clan thinks so." ”

When Xiao Yu heard this, it was like an initiation, and the past clearly surfaced in his mind.

"You say that the people don't understand me, but the reality proves that what you say is completely wrong, they respect me and love me, but it is me, who is swallowed up by desire in the process of advancing, and has failed them. ”

Xiao Yu's expression was extremely soft, "Huan'er, can you help me call the five elders?"

Xiao Huan nodded, "Okay!"

Inside the hall.

"What, patriarch, you want to propose a truce with the Huo family?"

Xiao Yu turned around, nodded and said sincerely, "If this battle continues, it will only lose both, I believe Huo Zhanyun also understands this truth, although we have a grudge now, but it is not to the point of not dying." ”

"Patriarch, why did you suddenly have an idea? ”

"I've been too anxious all these years, the Xiao family has no background, but I want to use brute force to pull her up, which will only hurt her in the end. Pass on my order to send back all the captured Huo family children with courtesy, and all their land, houses, and resources that we have usurped will also be returned. Temporarily stop all medicine collection, allocate the wealth of the clan to support the families of the clansmen who have died in the line of duty over the years, and all the young children who are burdened with the source qi will be transferred to the inner mansion and taught by me personally. ”

The elders looked at each other, and their eyes were full of joy, "Obey!"

Xiao Yu wiped his right hand and held up five jade bottles in his hand, "These are five bottles of 'Five Xuandan', one bottle for each of you." ”

The Great Elder was shocked, "Patriarch, how can we accept such a precious pill?"

Xiao Yu said earnestly: "The five elders are getting higher and higher, and in the future, everything in the clan will have to rely on the elders more, these 'Five Xuandan' can help you supplement some source qi to some extent, all the elders are my elders, if you insist on not accepting it, it is my unfilial piety." ”

"Patriarch - thank you Patriarch!"

Twenty years in the flick of his fingers, Xiao Yu is already the peak of the emperor, and under his leadership, although Xiao Yu is not a fire cooking oil, it is also prosperous.

"Patriarch, someone wants to see you. ”

Xiao Yu smiled, "Third Elder, why are you talking a little slurred today. ”

"That's the way it is - Xiao Ting and Xiao Fan are back, they want to ...... I want to return to the Xiao family. ”

After Xiao Ting was deposed as the patriarch, because he was unwilling, he later took refuge in the enemy, causing the Xiao family to suffer a lot of losses.

"What ...... the two of them?"

The three elders took a breath, "They know that they are guilty, and they say that as long as they are allowed to return to the Xiao family, they are willing to accept the punishment of the Xiao family's rules, and they have no complaints. ”

Xiao Yu raised his eyes, "In that case, take them to the ancestral hall." ”

"Yes!"

Xiao Yu stood on the steps of the ancestral hall, looking down at the person in front of him who had brought him infinite humiliation many years ago, the passage of time is man's worst enemy, unless he once lifted the sun to the sky, he would be ruthlessly crushed by time.

"Xiao Ting, you whipped my father here in front of me for a full three hundred lashes, if it weren't for the three elders showing mercy in secret, maybe his old man would have died young. ”

Xiao Ting in the audience trembled, trying his best to maintain the respect on his face, "Patriarch Xiao, it was me who was wrong back then, I was a brute, no matter how Patriarch Xiao punished, I didn't resent it." ”

"Is that so," Xiao Yu fiddled with the ring in his hand and said lightly, "If I want to inflict the shame you gave my father on you, are you willing?"

At this time, Xiao Ting was already gray-haired, and years of wind and frost had made him grow too old, and it wouldn't even be long before the fire of life would be extinguished.

Xiao Ting trembled and said, "Patriarch Xiao, I am willing, I only hope that after I die, the patriarch can let Xiao Fan return to the Xiao clan." ”

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Ting heavily, "I promise." ”

"Dad!" Xiao Fan is also nearly fifty years old, and seeing that his father will be whipped to death in front of all the Xiao family members in the Xiao family ancestral hall, he feels painful.

"Patriarch Xiao, I beg to let me be whipped, no matter how much you want to beat, as long as my father is allowed to return to the Xiao family, I will die without complaint. ”

"Fan'er!"

Xiao Yu looked up to the sky and smiled, history is so similar, everything has reincarnation, and all karmic retribution has its own cause and effect.

And is he the same as Xiao Ting, Xiao Fan's father and son?

"That's it, there is no need to carry out the whipping, I decided in the name of the patriarch to accept Xiao Ting and Xiao Fan back to the Xiao family, and spend the rest of my life offering incense, serving the ancestors, and praying every day for the clansmen who died due to the betrayal of the two of you. ”

Xiao Ting and Xiao Fan burst into tears, "Patriarch, thank you Patriarch! Patriarch's great kindness, we will never forget!"

Xiao Yu waved his hand, "No need, although there is cause and effect in the world, but there is no need to repay the same grudge, in life, even if it is like me, it is only three hundred years, why do you need to engrave hatred in your heart forever, your mistakes may eventually have their own karma, but it will not happen to me." ”

The two of them couldn't kneel, tears welling up in their eyes, "Patriarch—"
