Hearing Zhen Ni ask about Zhen Jian, Xiao Yan's gaze immediately became a little evasive, he opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.

Xiao Yan's expression made Zhen Ni's heart pinch even more, she stared at Xiao Yan closely, and her beautiful eyes with a look of worry did not blink. Everyone also noticed Xiao Yan's dodgy gaze, and worried about Xiao Yan in their hearts, hoping that what came out of Xiao Yan's mouth was not Zhen Jian dying in the Killing Blood Cave, let alone that he killed Zhen Jian.

In fact, the reason why Xiao Yan never mentioned Zhen Jian was not that he forgot, but that he didn't know what to say to Zhen Ni. Anyway, Zhen Jian is Zhen Ni's brother after all, and he is a peerless genius that the Zhen family has not met for tens of thousands of years, but now it is in his hands, and he is worried that Zhen Ni will not be able to accept it.

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Yan finally looked directly at Zhen Ni and replied, "There has been contact. The voice was soft, but it couldn't hide the apprehension.

As soon as Xiao Yan's words fell, Zhen Ni looked at Xiao Yan nervously and asked, 'How is it?' Zhen Jian, how is he? ”

Xiao Yan blinked his eyes and hesitated: "I fought with Zhen Jian, Zhen Jian was defeated, and the sword heart has been destroyed......"

Le Shaolong asked in surprise: 'The sword heart has been destroyed? So, Zhen Jian is abolished? ”

Seeing Xiao Yan nodding, Xiao Yao's face suddenly turned pale, and he didn't dare to look at Zhen Ni with anxiety; Zhen Ni also had a sinking face, and a pair of willow eyebrows frowned.

Seeing that Zhen Ni's face was getting cold, Long Yi hurriedly said, "Sister Zhen Ni...... Oh no, Aunt Zhenni, you don't know the situation at that time, Daddy was already very tolerant and tolerant, but Zhen Jian had to put Daddy to death......"

So it was, Long Yi's explanation relieved everyone who was worried about Xiao Yan. Zhenni's sunken face was also slightly soothed.

Xiao Yan said apologetically: 'Zhen Jian is aggressive, and he is ruthless, I have to make a move......"

'Say no more. Zhen Ni raised her hand and interrupted Xiao Yan. 'I know that my brother must be for you because of me...... Speaking of which, I have to thank you, if it weren't for your eyes on my face, Zhen Jian probably wouldn't even have a chance to survive under you, and sparing his life is already your greatest favor to him. It's just that Zhen Jian is a peerless genius of the Zhen family and even the entire human race, and he was abolished by you. It will definitely cause a great shock in the Zhen family, and I am afraid that my father will be furious and not good for the Xiao Mansion......"

As soon as this worry came out, Xiao Yao, who was already worried about it, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. As if his heart was pressed by an invisible boulder, he felt tight, and asked urgently: 'What does the eldest lady mean...... Will the head of the family do something to the Xiao Mansion in anger? ”

Le Shaolong and the others all suddenly changed color because the shadow of the Zhen family's super power might be enveloped, and they didn't notice the detail that Xiao Yao called Zhen Ni's father the head of the family, but the corners of Qing Haoran's mouth grinned without a trace.

Jenny nodded and shook her head worriedly. I can't say for sure...... My father was very face-conscious. For the sake of the grudges between the juniors, and the grudges formed in the killing and blood cave of each with their own ability, it is not a glorious thing to make a big move against the Xiao family; But my father is also a person who values prestige very much, and the peerless genius of the clan has been abolished, so he endured this tone, I am afraid that it will greatly affect his prestige in the hearts of his subordinates. So, I really can't say...... In his place. A lot of the ideas are not something we can guess. ”

Zhen Ni's words made everyone's hearts go up and down, and Le Shaolong frowned. His eyes fell on Qing Haoran, and he said, "Demon Emperor, you are the Demon Emperor, Zhen Ni's father is the Human Emperor, I think, you are the one who has the most say on this issue here." Can you talk about what you would do if you were the one who had this happening? ”

"Yes, yes, the Demon Emperor, tell me quickly, so that we can have a number in our hearts." ”

Xiao Yao was anxious, and looked at Qing Haoran with blank eyes.

Zhen Ni and the others also looked at Qing Haoran with a look of help in their eyes, only Xiao Yan looked at Qing Haoran nervously and did not look uneasy, but seemed to be thinking about something.

Qing Haoran had actually been thinking about how Zhen Ni's father would deal with this matter, and after listening to Le Shaolong and Xiao Yao's question, he said after a little muttering: "In our position, many times we can't help ourselves, we need to consider the pros and cons of all aspects, and do whatever is beneficial to the family or the entire race, and will never be determined by our own likes and dislikes or by the feelings of our subordinates. In short, the big picture must be the most important. ”

Zhen Ni asked tightly, "Then in your opinion, how will my father judge the pros and cons in this matter of Zhen Jian?" ”

Xiao Yao also asked anxiously: "Yes, Demon Emperor, what if you ...... If you are the head of the house...... Miss, I'm just making an analogy...... If the Demon Emperor were the head of the Zhen family, what decision would you make? ”

"Hehe, don't worry, things may not be as bad as you fear. Qing Haoran comforted Zhen Ni and Xiao Yao, and then said apologetically to Zhen Ni, "Miss Zhen Ni, I didn't mean to be disrespectful to you and want to slander your father" before continuing, "Then I will assume that I am Zhen Zongfu, the head of the Zhen family." I know Zhen Zongfu, he is calm, not impulsive, the city government is very deep, his scheming is also very deep, and he is very assertive; The power is delegated to the subordinates in small matters, but they are arbitrary in major matters; attaches equal importance to his subordinates, but he is also extremely ruthless; In the Terran race, one qiē puts the interests of the Zhen family first, and outside, one qiē puts the interests of the Terran clan first, but he has the overall situation in mind, and he will make concessions for the sake of the overall situation, and he is definitely a personal hero and a competent human emperor. If I were him, I would definitely consult the elders of the family before making a decision, but more often than not, I would consider other factors. ”

Speaking of this, Qing Haoran stopped, looked at Xiao Yao and then at Zhen Ni, and after thinking about it, he said, "I need to know two things. Let me start with the first thing. Old patriarch, dare to ask if the Xiao family is a branch of the Zhen family? Or an affiliated family? ”

As soon as Qing Haoran asked this question, except for Xiao Yan, Xiao Yao, and Zhen Ni, who were surprised, the other people's minds became blank, and their eyes looked at Xiao Yao and Zhen Ni together.

Xiao Yao, who was surprised, threw an inquiring look at Xiao Yan, and only after Xiao Yan shook his head and nodded again did he answer Qing Haoran with a wry smile: "Yes, the Xiao family is indeed a subsidiary family of the Zhen family. However, the old man is very strange, this matter has never been revealed to the public by the Zhen family and my Xiao family, and only me, Xiao Li, Xiao Long and Xiao Yan know about it in the Xiao family, how did the Demon Emperor know? ”

Qing Haoran smiled, "I guessed it from the old patriarch's attitude towards Miss Zhenni. You are more respectful to Miss Zhenni, a junior, than to me, the Demon Emperor, do you think that the relationship between you is thought-provoking? However, this is just speculation, I have not been sure, until the old patriarch called Zhen Zongfu the head of the family just now, not the head of the Zhen family, nor the emperor of the people, I basically confirmed my guess. ”

I see. The Demon Emperor is really insightful. Xiao Yao scratched the back of his head, eagerly glancing at the reaction of Le Shaolong and the others.

At this moment, Qing Mu'er was very angry and upset for the Xiao family: "Hmph! What kind of family is this? Since I met the little liar, the Xiao family has faced the danger of extinction twice, and I haven't seen the Zhen family rescue once, not to mention it, and I haven't even said a word afterwards, let alone avenging the Xiao family. Even the old patriarch has to rely on his own efforts to break through the five-star ......"

'Shut up! ”

Qing Haoran shouted to stop Qing Mu'er, and then apologized to Zhen Ni: "Mu'er is straight, Miss Zhen Ni don't go to heart." ”

Jenny smiled unmindfully, "What Sister Mu'er said is the truth. It's just that I, as a member of the Zhen family, can't say anything about it. ”

Xiao Yao hurriedly explained to Qing Haoran and Qing Mu'er, as well as Xiao Yan and Le Shaolong and others: "You can't blame the head of the family. When the old man first arrived in the Doudi Continent, he took Xiao Li, Xiao Long and others to join the Zhen family. We especially wanted to have a home of our own, but with our humble strength at that time, it was simply impossible. ”

Xiao Yao fell into the memories of the past-

One day, the head of the family suddenly came to me and asked me if I would like to go to Dizhou to build a subsidiary family for the Zhen family. My heart was so excited that it was coming out. Although Dizhou is located in a remote area, no matter how remote it is, it is also its own home! In order to help the Xiao clan gain a foothold in Dizhou, the head of the family specially called a four-star Dou Emperor to go to Dizhou with us, and asked this four-star Dou Emperor to temporarily change his surname to Xiao, so that we could gain a firm foothold in Dizhou and have our own home belonging to the Xiao family. In my heart, I am grateful to the head of the house," (to be continued......)
