Chapter 277: I Prove It!
Xia Xuan's words didn't mean much questioning, but its sharpness directly pierced Xia Zhentian's vital point.
As the third elder of the Xia family, in front of so many Xia family members, if he didn't handle it well and couldn't calm the anger of everyone present, then such a thing would spread to the entire family, and his prestige would directly collapse!
"What a cunning little brute, he actually used his clan to put pressure on me!"
Viciously scolded Xia Xuan several times in his heart, Xia Zhentian gasped heavily, and the thoughts in his mind were running rapidly, thinking about how to gesture to the current scene.
Suddenly, he thought of something, his faintly fierce pupils turned, and then stared at Xia Xuan, and suddenly smiled strangely: "Xia Xuan, you said that Xia Qiu once said that he would not give any pill to everyone present in the future, and everyone in the scene would be able to testify?"
Xia Zhentian's appearance made Xia Xuan's brows suddenly wrinkle slightly.
He smiled coldly, and then Xia Zhentian turned his head, his majestic and cold gaze swept over the people present, and said coldly: "Have Elder Xiaqiu ever spoken such words before, you, tell me?!"
This Xia Zhentian's gaze swept with an incomparably shocking and faint threat, and the anger on the faces of everyone present turned out to be a breath, and then his eyes were a little flustered, and the audience suddenly fell into a silence, and there was no voice of half a person replying.
Seeing this scene, Xia Xuan's face suddenly became much gloomy.
This old guy actually used this trick!
Seeing that no one dared to respond to half a sentence, Xia Zhentian also grinned with satisfaction, and then he also turned his head abruptly, casually pointed at a certain young man in the crowd, and shouted in a voice like thunder: "You tell me, has Elder Xia Qiu ever said such a thing before? Don't be afraid, tell the truth!"
"This ......"
was suddenly pointed out by Xia Zhentian, and the young man's face was also suddenly flustered, and he spoke hesitantly, but his eyes were directly dodged to the side, and he couldn't say anything. And his appearance was almost reflected on the faces of everyone present at the same time.
When facing Xia Qiu's questioning, with Xia Xuan's support, they finally dared to ask the dissatisfied question when they couldn't bear it anymore, however, when facing the third elder Xia Zhentian, the previous courage was completely dissipated.
Although Xia Xuan now has a rather strong prestige and status in the Xia family, even compared to the existence of some elders, he will not let it go at all, and after the people present saw that he had defeated Xia Qiu with his previous sword, they were even more confident and dared to vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts.
However, no matter what Xia Xuan did at this time, it was impossible for him to overpower Xia Zhentian, the third elder of the Xia family, not to mention, the latter was also one of the only five Yuanzong-level powerhouses in the Xia family. In the face of his questioning, the entire crowd of hundreds of people, but no one dared to make the slightest sound, so dead that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard clearly.
Glancing at the crowd that fell into a dead silence, the corners of Xia Zhentian's mouth also provoked a smug sneer, but this smile was quickly hidden by him again, he turned his head to look at Xia Xuan, and said coldly: "Xia Xuan, everyone present doesn't seem to have witnessed Elder Xia Qiu's outrageous speech as you said?"
"Did you know that slandering a family elder is a serious crime?"
Xia Zhentian's voice sounded, so that Xia Qiu on the side also reacted immediately, and at that moment, there was a dark flash in his eyes, and then he stepped out, stared at Xia Xuan coldly, and shouted: "That's right! Xia Xuan, you not only injured the old man, but also slandered the old man's innocence in front of so many people!"
"Third Elder, such a guy will definitely be a big scourge in the future, even if he is the son of the Xia Liuyun Patriarch, he can't show mercy to his subordinates anymore and let it go on like this!
"Please also ask the Third Elder to severely punish Xia Xuan!"
Xia Qiu clenched his fists heavily, and his voice was full of righteous words, as if he had suffered some great grievance! However, some well-intentioned people present could hear that in his words, there was a monstrous murderous intent!
Although he didn't make it clear, every word he said was full of hints to Xia Zhentian, and he did this for only one purpose, that is, to get rid of Xia Xuan's big trouble!
It's just that although some of the people present understood it in their hearts, they still didn't dare to say more......
Because once they opened their mouths to explain Xia Xuan, then they would definitely offend the three elders to death......
Third Elder Xia Zhentian, it wasn't they who had the courage to provoke......
And how could Xia Zhentian not hear the deep meaning of Xia Qiu's words? There was also a flash of murder in the depths of his eyes, but on the surface, he was hiding quite peacefully, looking down at Xia Xuan, who was more than a head shorter than him, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Xuan, do you have anything else to say?"
Hearing this, Xia Xuan's eyes were cold.
After all, he underestimated the awe and fear that Xia Zhentian had built up in the hearts of all the Xia family people over the years. The latter's words turned out to be so that the people who were angry before did not dare to say a word.
Xia Zhentian knew that he wanted to appease everyone's anger, and there was no other better way than to remove Xia Qiu from the Pill Pavilion. However, the Pill Pavilion almost represented the place where most of the Xia family's resources were allocated, and he was unwilling to let it out, so he chose to speak directly to deter him!
Let everyone present dare not show the slightest dissatisfaction, then naturally all the troubles will be solved!
Xia Zhentian's methods would definitely make everyone in the audience angry, but this kind of anger was not enough for them to resist him.
Although this kind of method is rough and simple, and it may suffer backlash one day, but because of Xia Zhentian's transcendent and majestic position in the Xia family, it has become the most effective means.
No one in the field dared to speak, and in an instant, Xia Xuan's camp that had been connected with everyone's anger and grievances and finally pulled together collapsed!
"This old fox ......"
Staring at the looming sneer on the corner of Xia Zhentian's mouth, Xia Xuan also scolded fiercely in his heart.
Although the former's tall and rough appearance and fiery temper made him look like a reckless man who just wanted to solve everything with his strength, he was one of the three elders of the Xia family who were in charge of everything, and it was impossible to sit in this position for so many years without some means.
And his countermeasures at this moment also made Xia Xuan fall into a somewhat passive situation.
"Looks like you don't have anything more to say?"
Staring at Xia Xuan, who had a gloomy face, Xia Zhentian smiled cruelly: "Since that's the case, then go back to the Law Enforcement Hall with me and explain!"
When the cold drink fell, Xia Zhentian was about to reach out with his big hand and directly suppress and arrest Xia Xuan, but at this time, a sound that seemed to be injured and faintly lacked qi sounded, and his movements were stopped instantly.
"What Brother Xia Xuan said is all true, I will prove it!"
