"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming obviously raised his eyebrows, revealing a very surprised expression, "Yan'er, do you know what you are talking about now?"

"Yes, the child knows. Xiao Yan nodded affirmatively.

Xiao Ming turned his head and looked at Xiao Nie and the others. It can be seen that there was no look of surprise on the faces of the three of them at this time, but a little thoughtful, thinking that Xiao Yan had already revealed this request to them before.

Bowing his head and muttering for a moment, Xiao Ming raised his eyelids slightly, and asked the three Xiao family authoritative elders, "Elders, I don't know what you think of Yan'er's suggestion?"

There was a brief silence in the chamber.

After a few breaths, the second elder Xiao Heng stood up, stroked his beard and said slowly: "What happened outside the city yesterday, I think we all know very well, according to this situation, it is inevitable that the Yan family will go to war with the You clan, and at this time it is the clearest way to reap the benefits, if our Xiao family participates in the war, not only will we lose the benefits that we could have sit, but also hurt the family fundamentals, which is obviously unwise." ”

Xiao Ming nodded.

Xiao Heng's words are not false at all, it is not a matter of a day or two for the four major families of Zhan Lingcheng to fight openly and secretly with each other, and now that the two major families are fighting, it is just an opportunity for the Xiao family to turn the tables in one fell swoop, if they participate in the war, then this opportunity will be wasted in vain, and it may also make the Xiao family, which has finally risen, hurt their vitality again, that kind of situation is extremely unwilling to see all the people of the Xiao family.

At this time, Xiao Yan did not show an anxious expression, he just moved his gaze to the third elder Xiao Qing.

If you ask the Xiao family who knows Xiao Yan best, then the answer is yes, there is only one person - Xiao Qing!

When Xiao Yan was framed and his cultivation plummeted, Xiao Qing was the only one who always firmly believed that one day, Xiao Yan would once again become the hope of all the clansmen of the Xiao family.

Nodding towards Xiao Yan, Xiao Qing stood up.

"In my opinion, although the Second Elder's words are not unreasonable, they are not very realistic. If we sit back and watch and cause the Yu clan to be destroyed, then from now on, there will be less power against the Yan family, and the situation of the Xiao family will definitely not be much better, and it will even be broken by each other, and eventually the Xiao family will completely lose its status in the city. ”

"Besides, I think Yan'er is definitely not the kind of reckless person who would make such a suggestion, he should have some thoughts and reasons of his own, why should we make up our minds too early, or listen to what he has to say before deciding. ”

After a little hesitation, Xiao Nie and Xiao Heng both nodded.

They naturally knew that Xiao Yan would not make such a request for no reason, and there might really be something inside to this.

Touching his chin, Xiao Ming once again moved his gaze to Xiao Yan.

"Yan'er, tell me your reasons, if it is enough, your three grandfathers and I will seriously consider this matter. ”

"For the sake of seclusion. ”

Xiao Yan's answer is only this name.

This name that will make him unforgettable for the rest of his life, the name of his friend and benefactor that he will never forget for the rest of his life.

"Secluded?"

Xiao Ming had a very obvious doubt on his face, this name had been spreading in Filthy Ling City recently, although he knew that Xiao Yan had a good relationship with Youkuang, but this alone was not enough for the Xiao family to move for him.

As if seeing the doubts of his father and the three elders, Xiao Yan further said, "Yes, secluded. Father, three grandfathers, do you know the true identity of the mysterious person who stood up for the child in our Xiao family that day?"

"You said it, but that senior alchemist?"

Suddenly, Xiao Nie suddenly stood up.

As soon as he talked about this person, Xiao Nie could no longer maintain his previous composure, and his face looked a little excited.

If it weren't for this person, I'm afraid that now his grandson Xiao Yan would have been poisoned by himself, and he, Xiao Nie, had already become a murderer who buried Xiao Yan, a wizard of the Xiao family, and a sinner through the ages who personally killed his own flesh and blood.

This person is the most grateful person he Xiao Nie has lived to the present, and there is no one.

"Back to Grandpa's words, exactly. Xiao Yan nodded.

"And you mean to say?"

Thinking of some possibilities, Xiao Ming, who was the head of the clan, and the three elders of the Xiao family, their expressions began to be a little excited at this moment.

Based on what Xiao Yan said, it is not difficult to speculate that he must know the true identity of this mysterious person, and it can be concluded that this person has an inseparable connection with the wilderness.

Their minds are mentally ready.

Maybe Xiao Yan's next sentence will be an earth-shattering sentence for them.

And the result, as they had guessed in their hearts, was in some ways completely unexpected, but in some ways completely unexpected.

"He is the one who stood up for the child that day and pulled our Xiao family to such a prosperous situation today!"

Hiss......

The sound of gasping cold air came from the lips of Xiao Ming and the three elders at the same time.

Originally, I thought that the mysterious person was entrusted by Youkuang to help Xiao Yan, but I didn't expect that Youkuang was the person who left such a legend in Zhenling City.

And maybe this is a bigger legend!

Putting aside the skillful control of medicinal materials, as well as the powerful and pure soul power that is staggering to mention it, a young man who is only eighteen years old can face the big people who are almost completely defiled in such a situation, and he can also turn the tide under such almost suffocating pressure, pull Xiao Yan back to the storage position, and then indirectly save the entire Xiao family, such courage and ability are enough to admirable existence in itself.

"Flame ...... Yan'er, what you just said is true?" Although he knew that Xiao Yan would never deceive them, Xiao Ming couldn't help but ask, and his voice sounded trembling violently.

Xiao Yan nodded very surely.

"Yes. ”

Originally, Xiao Yan should have kept this matter absolutely secret, after all, the situation in the secluded field was different from him, with the blood of the halfling human race, if some people knew about it, it would inevitably not be like strangling it in the cradle before it became stronger.

But at this extraordinary moment, Xiao Yan couldn't take care of it so much, in order to get his father and three grandfathers to agree, he had to tell them the truth.

The child also hopes that his father and three grandfathers will keep this matter a secret, and the child does not want Yu Kuang to get into any trouble because of this. ”

"Rest assured, we will naturally keep our mouths shut on this matter. ”

Xiao Ming paced back and forth for a few steps, and then he moved his gaze to the three elders of the Xiao family.

After the three of them bowed their heads and discussed, they each nodded to Xiao Ming.

After a little hesitation, Xiao Ming immediately looked certain, raised his hand and patted Xiao Yan's shoulder, "Yan'er, for your friends, and for the future of our Xiao family, okay, father promised you." ”

As the head of the clan, Xiao Ming has absolute considerations, not to mention how heavy is the kindness of the Xiao family, once the Yu clan is defeated by the Yan family, then the Yan family will definitely take advantage of the situation to take all the Fil Ling City into their hands, and at that time, it will be their turn to suffer from the Xiao family.

Therefore, on the basis of such a friendship between Xiao Yan and Youkuang, the advantages of helping the Youkuang clan definitely outweigh the disadvantages, and once Youkuang grows up, maybe he can use his momentum in the future to let the entire Xiao family get out of this filthy Ling City and face the bigger world.

Xiao Ming turned around and gave an order, "The three elders of the Xiao family listen to the order!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Nie, Xiao Heng, Xiao Qing, the three of them all stood up from their positions at the same time.

At this moment, Xiao Ming's face carried the majesty that the head of the clan should have, and his voice was filled with a powerful martial power, and the voice of the command continued to spread from the council hall like a wave to the surroundings.

"Pass on my Xiao Ming's order, all the clansmen of the Xiao family who are at the five-star warrior level and above, including the rest of the elders, have fully entered a state of preparedness, and my Xiao family will never allow the Yan family to be so rampant in Zhanling City!"

The voice was like a bell, echoing in the ears of every member of the Xiao family, and everyone's faces were inlaid with that touch of firmness.

The Xiao family, the male lion that had been sleeping for a long time, was finally about to let out a roar that shocked all the people of Ling City!

On the other hand.

The Huang family, which is also one of the four major forces in Zhanling City.

In front of a closed secret room, the five elders of the Huang family stood quietly with solemn expressions, not far behind them, more than 100 people of the Huang family holding weapons and wearing armor were neatly arranged, looking at the iron door of the secret room with their eyes like torches, and their bodies were faintly exuding a chilling and terrifying aura.

And in front of these people, a shadow was anxiously looking forward to it, and on that pretty face, a deep worry was obvious.

Bang bang bang bang ......

The iron door slowly opened, and a figure accompanied by the sound of 'dong dong' footsteps gradually became clear in everyone's sight.

"Congratulations to the patriarch for a successful breakthrough. ”

At the moment when Huang Qishan's figure appeared, all the Huang family members present broke out in this congratulatory voice.

The whole body was still coiled with a trace of cyan energy, and Huang Qishan, who had just successfully broken through, could not hide his excitement, with a happy smile on his face.

Before Huang Qishan could open his mouth to thank everyone, Huang Peiqi, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Huang Qishan's hand.

"Dad, why did you only come out now, do you know that something big is wrong. ”

Huang Qishan glanced at his baby daughter speechlessly, he was naturally confused when he just got out of the customs, "What's wrong, what happened?"

"Hmph, your son-in-law is about to be killed, and you still have the heart to hide here and cultivate, aren't you afraid that your daughter will be widowed in this life?"

Huang Peiqi Xuan roughly explained what had happened in the past two days between the secluded and the secluded clan.
