Chapter 173: Heartbroken Xiao Dingtian
In the lobby of Xiao Mansion, Xiao Dingtian's face at this time was as gloomy as the thick clouds before the storm, a little terrifying, and a gloomy and cold aura emanated from his body.
The cold breath made Xiao Nan, who had just relayed Xiao Yao's words, tremble with fright, and secretly glanced at Xiao Dingtian who was sitting there, and hurriedly retreated to the side, lest Xiao Dingtian vent his anger on him.
Immediately, Xiao Nan's gaze glanced in the direction where his father Xiao Qinghe was, and it just so happened that Xiao Qinghe's gaze also moved at this time.
Looking at each other, the father and son secretly smiled, and everything was silent.
Seeing his father and younger brother, secretly making eye contact, Xiao Lin's teeth bit her lip gently, and she felt very uncomfortable.
After listening to Xiao Nan relay Xiao Yao's words, she knew that Xiao Nan must have added fuel and vinegar, but she did not tamper with Xiao Yao's original intention. The last thing she wanted to see, it happened.
"Xiao Qingfeng and Xiao Yao, the two bastards, finally made up their minds to break with Xiao Dingtian and break away from the Xiao family. ”
The dream thing finally came true, Xiao Qinghe had a sense of relief, and even had a kind of comfort and happiness that his daughter-in-law had become a mother-in-law for many years.
Xiao Qingfeng's departure from the Xiao family means that in the Xiao family, no one can pose a threat to him becoming the patriarch, and a sense of victory of surrendering without a fight arose spontaneously in Xiao Qinghe's heart, making his face suddenly appear with joy that could not be concealed.
"Have a wedding banquet with Yu'er? Don't have time to be a guest at Xiao Mansion? Qingfeng, you guys are making such a bad excuse and deliberately not coming, Chengxin will make me make a fool of myself in front of everyone, isn't it? Chengxin will let my patriarch be swept away?"
At this time, Xiao Dingtian really became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and slammed the teacup in his hand on the table, the tea splashed all over the table, and a murderous cold light shot out of his angry eyes, "Compared with the interests of the family, what is your personal honor and disgrace?
"Patriarch Xiao!"
Just when Xiao Dingtian was angry there, a woman's ethereal voice suddenly sounded from outside the lobby, and immediately, a white shadow slowly walked out and smiled at Xiao Dingtian.
"Elder Xiao, is there something?"
Looking at Xiao Qingya, who was getting more and more beautiful, the anger in Xiao Dingtian's heart subsided a little, and a smile that looked very reluctant appeared on his face.
"There's someone at home, I have to go. I have come to inform Patriarch Xiao and the other elders for your meticulous care of Qing'er over the years!
As she spoke, Xiao Qingya bowed deeply to Xiao Dingtian and the elders of the Xiao family. In the next second, she turned around and left, without the slightest hesitation, with a faint smile on her delicate face, like a fairy descending to earth, floating away.
However, she was the only one who knew how bitter the smile on her face was, and how painful her heart was.
Seeing the goddess in his mind drifting away like this, Xiao Nan, who was complacent and high-spirited just now because Xiao Yao was leaving the Xiao family, suddenly turned into a frosted eggplant and lost his spirit.
"Why did you leave? I will soon be the real first person of the Xiao family, the future patriarch of the Xiao family, how good is it for you to stay and be my patriarch's wife?"
"This girl, such a strong soul power!"
When Xiao Nan was self-righteous and narcissistic there, looking at Xiao Qingya's departing back, Hua Jue couldn't help but sigh.
She heard Xue Boling say that the Xiao family, a girl with a mysterious background, knew that Xiao Qingya lived in the Xiao family, but what kind of relationship Xiao Qingya had with the Xiao family, he didn't know very clearly.
Thinking of Xiao Dingtian's extremely polite tone when he spoke to Xiao Qingya just now, and those elders looked at Xiao Qingya's eyes, they were also more or less in awe, Hua Jue knew that Xiao Qingya must be a person with a great background, not that she could accept it if she wanted to.
The Hundred Flowers Valley is very powerful in the Heavenly Dragon Empire, but out of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, compared with those powerful forces outside, the strength of the Hundred Flowers Valley is really not on the table.
Thinking of this, she was a little impatient, her eyes moved slightly, and she glanced at Xue Boling, the top priority was to get the marriage contract between Xue Rongrong and Xiao Yao as soon as possible, and then return to the Valley of Hundred Flowers and make every effort to cultivate the two talented apprentices around her.
Xue Rongrong, who had originally lost her dantian and her cultivation, had already recovered her cultivation with the help of Hua Jue Dan at this time, but also reached the realm of a four-star martial artist in one fell swoop with the help of medicinal power.
Such a talent really made Hua Jue overjoyed, and she couldn't wait to go back and show off with the other elders.
At this time, Xue Boling's chest was straight, his chin was held high, and he was proud like a big rooster who had just won a battle.
Xue Boling, who wanted to cling to the powerful and let the Xue family take a shortcut to soaring, never thought that their Xue family would be able to intersect with the famous Hundred Flowers Valley of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, let alone that Xue Rongrong would quietly become the apprentice of Elder Hua Jue.
The Valley of Hundred Flowers was the first sect in the empire, and even the royal family was a little jealous of them, not to mention the other powerful forces of the empire.
Thinking of the change in Xiao Dingtian's attitude towards his 360-degree turn after Hua Jue revealed his identity and explained his intentions, Xue Boling was very happy in his heart, and he had the happiness of turning over as a serf and singing.
Therefore, after seeing the eyes cast by the new master Hua Jue, Xue Boling immediately got up, his face was deliberately tense, and he asked angrily:
"Patriarch Xiao, we have already negotiated the conditions for dissolving the marriage contract, but you haven't brought the marriage contract so far, how long do you want us to wait here?"
"Damn, what a villain!"
Looking at Xue Boling's villainous face, an angry look immediately emerged on the vicissitudes of life on the face of the six elders. His hands were clenched into fists, and he was so eager to rush over and beat him into a pig's head.
In this matter, although Xiao Dingtian, the patriarch, and four people in the elder council controlled by Xiao Haonan voted in favor, among the eight elders, five elders and eight elders voted against it in a clear manner, while the six elders abstained and did not express their personal opinions.
When they learned that the vast majority of people had agreed to dissolve Xiao Yao and Xue Rongrong's marriage contract in exchange for greater family interests, the Fifth Elder and the Eighth Elder brushed their sleeves away on the spot, saying that they had tarnished the glory and dignity of their ancestors.
At this time, the six elders had deep remorse, and their eyes intertwined with anger and unwillingness swept over the faces of every elder on the scene, and finally fixed on Xiao Dingtian's face, with a trace of hope flashing in his eyes.
He didn't say anything before, but he really hoped that Xiao Dingtian and several other elders would be able to change their minds and maintain the glory and dignity of the Xiao family in the past after hearing the resolute attitude shown by Xiao Qingfeng and Xiao Yao's father and son in this matter, and after seeing Xue Boling's disgusting face.
However, the current Xiao Dingtian is angry because the majesty of his patriarch is being challenged.
Therefore, when he saw Xue Boling, a miscellaneous crumb, showing off his might in front of him, his anger was like being poured with a bucket of gasoline, and he jumped up so high that the angry flames in his eyes rolled and shot straight at Xue Boling.
What the fuck are you, dare to talk to Lao Tzu like this? For the sake of Elder Hua Jue's face, give you some color, you want to open a dyeing workshop, don't you?
Looking at the pair of red eyes thrown at him, Xue Boling immediately felt a chill coming out of nowhere, which made him shiver uncontrollably, his face turned white suddenly, and even his chest felt a little stuffy.
Just when Xue Boling felt that his breathing was becoming more and more rapid, Hua Jue's voice sounded unhurriedly in the hall:
"Patriarch Xiao, what Patriarch Xue said is indeed a bit excessive, give Rong Rong a face, just let him go this time!"
In the faint voice, there was a trace of dissatisfaction, which was not only dissatisfied with Xue Boling, but also dissatisfied with Xiao Dingtian.
There is still a warning to the two of them in these words: warn Xue Boling, don't think that if you take your daughter as an apprentice, you can rely on the name of the Valley of Hundred Flowers and do whatever you want;
Warn Xiao Dingtian, Xue Rongrong is my apprentice, don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, Xue Boling is no longer right, that is also a person who has something to do with our Hundred Flowers Valley.
After hearing Hua Jue's words, Xiao Dingtian's body stiffened, and the momentum on his body slowly retracted, and disappeared completely after the most slurgy.
"That's what Elder Hua said. ”
Xiao Dingtian hugged his fist at Hua Jue, and said with a smile: "For Rong Rong's sake, forget it this time!"
Although he also took Xue Rongrong to talk about things, the people in the room could hear it, Xiao Dingtian is giving face to Elder Hua Jue, and you Xue Boling are not qualified to command in front of him Xiao Dingtian.
"Then you have the right for me to ask you?"
Looking at Xiao Dingtian, who was sitting there as if he hadn't heard Xue Boling's words, Hua Jue's eyebrows frowned slightly, and a little displeasure appeared between her eyebrows, but in order to be able to cancel the marriage contract between Xiao Yao and Xue Rongrong as soon as possible and peacefully, she had to say to Xiao Dingtian:
"Patriarch Xiao, the marriage contract between Rong Rong and Xiao Yao ......"
After listening to Hua Jue's words, Xiao Dingtian suddenly fell silent, and after a while, Fang Cai's eyes moved slightly, glanced at Xiao Haonan, sighed inexplicably, and his face became gloomy at this moment, and he actually said in a consultative tone:
"Great Elder, please go to Qingfeng with a few other elders, move them with affection and reason, and let their father and son put the interests of the family first, take out the marriage contract, and hand it directly to Elder Hua Jue, okay?"
"Old fox, it may not be useful for you to go! I'll ...... Then don't you fucking count the matter of forcing Qingfeng's father and son away on my head?"
Hearing this, Xiao Haonan's face changed slightly, he had always wanted to see Xiao Dingtian's jokes, but he never thought that Xiao Dingtian, who was still angry because Xiao Qingfeng's father and son did not come, threw this hot potato to him in the blink of an eye.
But just when Xiao Haonan's brain was spinning, thinking about how to let Xiao Dingtian go in person, Xiao Dingtian's extremely sad sigh suddenly sounded in the hall:
"Alas, elders, you all know that this kid Dao Qingfeng has always been quite prejudiced against me, a father who only has family interests and no family affection. Not to mention...... was divorced by the woman on her own initiative, this matter is simply a great shame for men?"
Speaking of which, I don't know if Xiao Dingtian is true or has great acting talent, tears are like broken bead curtains flowing out, and the old tears and heartbroken appearance made Hua Jue and Xue Rongrong a little moved.
"But for the sake of the overall interests of the Xiao family, I have to watch my son and grandson being humiliated like this, as their father and grandfather, I, I, I ......"
Suddenly, Xiao Dingtian's breathing became short, and his face instantly turned pale. In the next second, as if he was too sad and didn't get his breath, he slid from the chair to the ground with a "poof", and after a few convulsions of his body, he didn't move......
